Mormon Temple Visit

We parked in front of the Utah State house. It was beautiful. There was a bee hive statue in front, just up the first set of stairs. Inside there were gorgeous marble pillars. The floors and office doors had the honey comb look.  Gabe wanted to sing Psalm 134 and hear it echo.

Right under the Mormon temple, we met Tom, a Melchezadek priest, who was married in the Temple 45 years ago. 

Bruce asked, “What do you think about trying to be god and having your own planet someday?” 

“Yes, that’s what we believe, but we don’t focus on it every day.” 

I asked,   "Will you be married in heaven."

“Yes, for eternity.” 

"But Jesus said, "In the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven."

He denied the idea of being sealed with more than one woman.

 "You will stake eternity over a novel written by Salomon Spaulding and turned into 'words of Jesus' by a con man named Joseph Smith. 

He does not fit the qualifications of an elder who is not to be a novice lest he be puffed up. He is to be the husband of one wife. lf a man does not rule his own household well, how can he rule in the household of God? Also Exodus 18:21 says leaders are to be able men such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness. 

Joseph Smith goes downs in flames. He fails God's test. He also starts his con job by saying that God says all the churches are wrong. That means everybody for 1800 years was wrong. Then he becomes an enlightened fool that’s going to tell us what God really meant. 

The father above is discipling his children.

Lance pled with him to set aside the book of Mormon

and teach his children the Bible.

His daughter begged him to come look at a quote on a chart 

that she thought would help him respond to Lance.

The Mormon Church is a curse on the world taking with it a horde of Mormons to hell. Paul said, "If I, or an angel from God teach any other gospel then what I have taught, let him be cursed.             

I said, “Are you aware that Joseph Smith was a Mason and got killed because he took some their rituals?  They killed him also because his men took other people’s wives. He was a peep stoner, glass looker, a trickster. Shortly before he became a 'Prophet of God,' he was convicted in New York for being conman. 

And you are willing to spend eternity in hell because you are going to rely on his view that the scriptures are in error and this crook is going to clarify the 'mistakes in the Bible?' I said, “If you want to understand what the Bible says, study the early Church fathers: Clemet of Rome, Poly Carp who was disciple of John the writer of the last book of the Bible.” 

Victor asked, “Do you study the creeds and confessions?” 

He said, “No.” 

Mormons do not believe revelation closed with scripture. They believe their church gives them revelation even to this day, even though their most inspired book that cleans up the so-called errors, the Book of Mormon has had to be revised over 4,000 times for things like outlawing polygamy, because the US government ruled that it was illegal, so now they have heavenly polygamy, like the Muslims. 

'The flower fades the grass withers but word of God endures forever.'   

And we don’t need a Joseph Smith to tell us what the word of God says. God is capable of preserving his words without somebody changing it.    

Anther Mormon, Dave from the Portland area asked “Do you believe that all these people are going to hell?” 

Well, if they don’t repent of their sin of following a lie and turn to the one true and living God reveled in scripture they will go to hell. His wife Susan added, “but look at the fruit.” 

The federal judge pictured with Lance above 

gave them a tour of the Mormon Tabernacle. 

"It looks good on the outside, but on the inside, its full of dead men's bones. In Utah, a few years ago, one their top guys was running around at night with a prostitute. Also, Utah is number 2 in the world for going to the most perverted sites, just below Pakistan.They deny the trinity.They have redefined Jesus in to a man.The Jesus they believe in, had three wives. They follow the Brigham Young statement, “As man is, God once was. As God is, man can become.”

But God says, "I am jealous God and I will share my glory no other. There is none like me." 

Man makes for a loser god.

Mormons are anti-trinitarian. They believe that Jesus and God the father are two distinct gods made of flesh and blood. 

The Christian believes in three distinct but not separate persons in the Godhead equal in power and glory and each uncreated.

 Jesus Christ, the sinless lamb, died on the cross for our sins, was raised on the third day just as he said, and ascended in to Heaven waiting until his enemies are made his footstool for his feet. To those who believe in his name, He has imputed his righteousness to us and taking our sin on him. The hope of the world is not living by every word of Joseph Smith. That takes you to hell. The true hope is living by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
