The Bible teaches that God has ALWAYS been God, and that God will ALWAYS be God.

Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.  Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
Isaiah 44:6, 8 KJV

That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord , and there is none else.
Isaiah 45:6 KJV

LDS doctrine teaches that God was NOT always God, but that He was a man and became God.

Truth does not change. 2+2 will ALWAYS be four.

The Bible has changed only in structure when the protestant Bible was canonized, but there have been NO CHANGES in the individual books of the Bible.

The Book of Mormon has endured over 3000 changes since it was written, and it is taught that the Bible is unreliable!!

Do the math for yourself.

When Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon he translated into King James Version language, which was NOT spoken as a general language at the time. A genuine translation would be from an ancient text into the language of the current day, but this did not happen.

The Bible teaches that Jesus has ALWAYS been God, and will ALWAYS be God.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.
John 1:1-2 NKJV

Jesus Christ is  the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Hebrews 13:8 NKJV

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and  coming in the likeness of men.
Philippians 2:5-7 NKJV

The Book of Mormon teaches that Jesus was conceived as a spirit baby, giving Him a beginning, that He then became a human "through normal means of conception", and that He then became a god.

These two are mutually exclusive, and cannot both be true.

What do we choose to believe? God, or ourselves?

I read the lyrics to this song, and I am compelled to stand in the gap for truth.

If all of the "gods" were created, then where did they come from?

What if I dare propose this food for thought...

The God of the Bible is eternal. No beginning, and no end, by definition. In fact, the Jesus of the Bible is eternal.

John 8:58 NKJV

Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”

Revelation 1:8 NKJV

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

In the Bible the angels are created beings, and they are called "the sons of God".

Job 1:6 NKJV

Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord , and Satan also came among them.

To me it is plainly obvious that the God of the Bible is the eternal and great "I AM", and that the god of the Book of Mormon is not the same God. The God of the Bible, Jesus, is the source of all things that stands outside and above the gods of the Book of Mormon. That being said, the god of the Book of Mormon not being the Most High by definition, would be one of the created beings, one of "the sons of God".

Is this not logical reasoning based on the Word?

To My Mormon Friends That I Love

If I told you that I saw Abraham Lincoln, that we had dinner together, and that He told me some special things to share with the world, would you believe me? I would hope not.

Any sane and rational person would say that such a thing were impossible because of the facts. Abraham Lincoln is dead. Since he is dead it is impossible to have such an experience. Logic, not rocket science.

So... I have a question for you. I have MANY friends who believe a similar story, and you know who you are. I come to you in love with this, simply because I care. At least think about it, please. I don't care about the "religion", for I hate religion. I do care about you though.

Joseph Smith declared that he had seen the Father, and his religion is largely founded on this. His statement is a lie, for such a thing is impossible. Just logic, not rocket science. Here are the facts:


1. NO ONE HAS SEEN THE FATHER.

- John 1:18 NKJV
"No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him."

- John 6:46 NKJV
"Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father."

2. GOD IS SPIRIT, MAKING HIM INVISIBLE, AND WE EXIST IN HIM.

- John 4:24 NKJV
"God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

- Colossians 1:15-17 NKJV
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

- Acts 17:28

...for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’

3. IF ANYONE IS TO SEE THE FATHER, THEY MUST SEE HIM ONLY THROUGH JESUS, FOR JESUS IS GOD AND THE EXPRESSED IMAGE OF THE FATHER.

- John 14:7-11
“If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”
Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves."

- Colossians 1:15-17 NKJV
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

I know full well that I will not convince you of anything my friend. My only hope is that by me sharing the truth with you that perhaps the Holy Spirit will bear witness in your heart, bringing you to the Truth. Let NO MAN deceive you. The God of the Bible is made manifest within the Word, and if ANYONE tells you anything different be very afraid. If the very foundations of Joseph Smith's testimony is based on a lie that could never happen, what then does that say about the rest of the doctrine? He who has ears, let him hear. I am praying for you.
