Old Mormon vs New Mormon.
I created these videos and posted them on DefCon back in September of 2010. Since then, we’ve received many new readers to the blog that may have missed them. So I’ve decided to dust them off and re-post them here so that our new readers can see what happens when a 19th century Mormon meets […]
Joel Osteen and (Mormon) Mitt Romney believe in the same Jesus?
Toward the end of this video Joel Osteen says that he’s heard that Mormon presidential candidate Mitt Romney “believes in Jesus as his savior just like I do.” This is inevitable result of having absolutely no doctrinal foundation other than “God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life.” When you place so […]
The first vision.
Two brief videos on Joseph Smith’s varied first vision accounts by LDSvideo.org. See also: The various first visions of Joseph Smith and Dear Mormon: Which version of the first vision do you believe?

Mormons do not take criticism of their faith lightly; sadly, many [of them] have followed the path of our culture in assuming that disagreement is akin to bigotry. – Bill McKeever
The source of LDS lunar life discovered?
Those who have studied Mormonism’s history have seen that much of the Book of Mormon was written largely in part thanks to other sources that were available to Joseph Smith at the time he lived. The two most notable examples are Joseph Smith’s plagiarism of the King James Bible, and Joseph Smith’s not-so-unique tales of […]
A Roman Catholic on Chuck Colson on Mitt Romney on Mormonism.
I just read an excellent article from NCR on Chuck Colson’s position on the issue of Mitt Romney’s Mormonism and its pertinence in American politics. Although the author of the article is Roman Catholic (which leads him to some erroneous conclusions like suggesting that Romanism is Christian), he does make some great points about this […]
Mormonism’s Bigfoot.
I recently published an article on one of Mormonism’s wild claims about big, black, hairy Cain still roaming the earth in the post Mormon Prophet Lends Credibility to a Wild Claim. And, of course, the first response that post received from a Mormon apologist was: The real shame is that it is simply a waste […]
If Mormonism were true.
An article from Mormon Coffee offers the following six things you’d expect to see if Mormonism were true. You can read the entire article here. ____________________________________ If Mormonism were true… 1. … Joseph Smith would have been able to consistently, accurately, remember his visit from two separate supernatural beings, God the Father and Jesus the […]
A shocking realization if a Mormon becomes president of the United States.
“Will you love your brothers or sisters likewise, when they have committed a sin that cannot be atoned for without the shedding of their blood? Will you love that man or woman well enough to shed their blood?” – Brigham Young as recorded in Journal of Discourses Volume 4 Page 219 “If you want to […]
A restored priesthood?
4Mormon.org provides the following quick-reference chart and asks the question: “If Mormonism has ‘restored’ the Aaronic and Melchizedek Priesthoods, why is its version different from the Biblical version?“ Mormon Priesthood Biblical Priesthood All LDS males are ordained to the Aaronic Priesthood Must be of the Lineage of Aaron (Num. 3:6, 10; Heb. 7:5, 11-14) Deacons […]
Mormonism: Making gods out of sinners since 1830.
The following quote comes from the blog Lehi’s Library: “So in our view it doesn’t matter one bit that a person sinned at some point in their existence prior to becoming a god. It doesn’t preclude the possibility of being divine, because atonement can be made and the sin can be totally eradicated. In this sense I think we […]
Well . . . is he or isn’t he?
Is Mormon presidential candidate Mitt Romney pro-life or pro-abortion? I often hear that Christians are willing to vote for him because he “shares their values,” and being pro-life is one of those values often cited. But is he really? In the following video Mitt Romney makes his pro-abortion position very clear, so those expecting to […]
Should a Christian vote for Mitt Romney?
I recently read a piece entitled A Vote For Romney is a Vote for the LDS Church written by Warren C. Smith (not to be confused with the Warren Smith who exposed Rick Warren’s New Age agenda and ties to Robert Schuller in his book Deceived on Purpose). Here’s a quote from the thought-provoking article […]
Unveiling Grace by Sacred Groves.
A wonderful series of testimonies from those who turned from the “Jesus” of Mormonism to the true Jesus revealed in Scripture. It’s amazing what happened to these former Mormons when they actually read their Bibles. Source: Sacred Groves
A new approach to evangelism and apologetics?
We’ve all experienced how Mormon apologists play the victim card anytime the truth about their organization and prophets are revealed: “You’re picking on us.” “You’re just anti-Mormon.” “We never attack anyone’s faith like you do.” “We have better things to do than attack other people’s faith like you.” Well, apparently some Christian evangelists have taken […]
The Jesus of the Bible compared with the Jesus of Mormonism.
A former Mormon–one who came to a saving knowledge of the true, biblical Christ–penned the following piece found at Mormon Coffee: This is the Christ of Mormonism: 1. He lives as a humanoid god on a star near Kolob along with his father god, bound by the physical world; he does not transcend the material. […]
Dear Mormon, can you guess who said the following?
Dear Mormon, can you guess who said the following? 1). I saw two spirits… One was God my maker, almost in bodily shape like a man… below him stood Jesus Christ my Redeemer, in perfect shape like a man… 2). . . . the angel had made known to me in the vision, that all […]
Examining the evidence of Mormonism.
Two former Mormons explain the evidence they discovered that led them out of Mormonism and into Christianity in this eleven-part video from the John Ankerberg Show. One:
Did King David have to pay for his sin in Hell?
In recent years Mormonism has been trying very hard to appear as if they are Christians (a far cry from historic Mormonism who openly opposed biblical Christianity), and due to Mormonism’s great PR, many folks have bought this lie, believing that Mormonism is just another branch or denomination of Christianity (a recent example can be […]
Mormon prophet lends credibility to a wild claim.
Mormonism is known for its tall tales: Claims of Quaker-like people living on the moon, people living on the sun, God living on the planet Kolob, spiritual vegetables, black skin being a sign that you’re cursed of God, or Joseph Smith’s claim that he was visited by two members of the Trinity in the secluded […]
How an LDS faction is born.
In light of the question posed in Coram Deo’s recent post, and in light of this fictional article about a Mississippi farm boy claiming revelation that the LDS church is apostate, I offer for your listening pleasure an audio piece that you can stream (for free) or download (for a small fee) from the podcast […]
Did God sin?
This video portrays why my heart grieves for these precious souls and why Mormonism and Christianity never has and never will be compatible. Source: GodNeverSinned.com
The lie of LDS unity.
If I had a nickel for every time a Mormon cited Christendom’s presence of denominations as proof that Christianity is apostate while citing their Mormon unity as proof that they’re the one true church, I’d have . . . well, an awful lot of nickels. Chances are, if you’ve ever engaged Mormons in a debate […]
Is Joseph Smith the gateway to heaven?
Absolutely amazing blasphemies from the Mormon church: “[There is] “no salvation without accepting Joseph Smith. If Joseph Smith was verily a prophet, and if he told the truth…no man can reject that testimony without incurring the most dreadful consequences, for he cannot enter the kingdom of God” -Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 1, […]

A story about a Presbyterian church, the Boyscouts, and Mormonism.
Back in September we reported on a sad co-mingling with Mormonism by a Presbyterian church (see Compromising with a cult), but today we are pleased to report of another Presbyterian church not willing to compromise with LDS, much to the chagrin of some Mormons. Hats off to Christ Covenant Church for being one of the […]
LDS: “But that was just his opinion.”
If you’ve ever been in a discussion with a Mormon and you’ve quoted one of their prophets or church leaders (and that quote was not favorable to their organization’s current position on any given matter), then you no doubt have received the following response: “But that was just his opinion.” So, is this a valid […]

Compromising with a cult.
Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. Matthew 24:11 Here is a brief but shocking article from Presbyterian Pastor Jay Moses (whose profile says that he “comes from an ecumenical past“) that you must read to believe: Reflections from Nauvoo by Pastor Jay I have always found two things in life to be […]
