To ex-Mormons, former LDS, etc. who left to come to the real Jesus, let me ask you for your experiences. What was it that finally got you away from the delusions and into the truth of Scripture? I want to be loving, but firm. I want to be compassionate, but uncompromising. I'd love to hear your experiences on how the genuine gospel resonated with you and turned you away from the counterfeit that Mormonism puts out there. I want to find ways of reaching the lost who don't know Him. #exmormon #LDS #Mormons #Mormonism

Cults are all about their leader, not Jesus. Any view of Jesus must be viewed through the lens of the cult leader. For Islam, that means your view of Jesus must come through Muhammed. Only his interpretations are correct. Only he has the real truth. For LDS, that means your view of Jesus must come through Joseph Smith. Only his interpretations are correct. Only he has the real truth. Never mind that both claim that an angel sent by God was involved in the process of their sacred "scripture", as it were. Oh, and both were polygamists, and liked 'em young, apparently. Things that make you go hmm...

To LDS: If Joseph Smith was a false prophet, then the Book of Mormon isn't reliable and cannot be used to test Joseph Smith. After all, if a false prophet gives you a ruler, it doesn't mean the measurements are correct. Instead, looking at the Bible only, tell me one thing that a false prophet would not do. Jesus already warned there would be false christs and false prophets, so a false prophet will make himself will claim Christ. And even Satan can quote Scripture. So tell me, how can you tell what is and isn't a false prophet just by using the Bible alone? We know it can't be the burning in the bosom. On the road to Emmaus, the two disciples Jesus encountered were sad and disappointed because they believed some wrong things about Jesus. They thought Jesus was going to topple Roman rule and establish the earthly kingdom. Jesus goes through the Scriptures with them, they continue walking. They stop and break bread, then they realize it was Him, and Jesus immediately disappears. They didn't believe, now they did. Only did then they realize that they had experienced the burning in their bosom, that fire that drove them. It wasn't a test to see if something was true. It was something they realized after they believed. More importantly, this was while in the very presence of the resurrected Jesus. You can't even replicate that experience, so... not a test. So, if a false prophet will claim christ, what are you using to measure Joseph Smith? Are you using Joseph Smith's ruler, or are you using the Bible? And what would a false prophet not do that Joseph Smith did?

Agreed. To LDS who claim to follow the same Jesus: If only that were so. You need to see Jesus as He IS, not what Mormons claim Him to be. Jesus warned there would be false prophets and false Christs. Matthew 24:24-26 ESV For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand. So, if they say to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. Joseph Smith's claim of his first vision in seeing Jesus? In the wilderness, by his own hand, written in 1832. Satan's fall in Isaiah 14:13-15 and Mormon's claim of exaltation follow the same model. This isn't a coincidence. There's biblical "theosis" and then there's the promised from Mormonism which corrupts it. The Pharisees sought to stone Jesus because of his claim of divinity - to be God in the flesh. If all men were to be "God" in the spiritual sense as spiritual children, then the equal status is already in place. There would be right to be adoption as children of God because we would already be there. There would have been no need for the cross. There would be no reason for Jesus to take on sin. Moreover, LDS rejects original sin, even though the Bible affirms it. Sin entered to the world through Adam and through it, many are made sinners (Romans 5:12-19) If you can't understand your sin nature, how can you repent of it? How can you submit to Jesus Christ if you see yourself falsely? Mormonism calls the "fall" good because it's the plan for exaltation. It calls the rebellion, which was evil - good. But God makes it clear. "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" — Isaiah 5:20 Biblically, LDS theology claims evil is good, seeks exaltation in the same way Lucifer did, and presents a false Christ found in the wilderness. Look at the demands of the Mormonism church, the baptism, the ordinances, the temple - then look at what the Bible calls us to do. Romans 10:9-10 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. And that's the critical part here. If Jesus is just some "spirit brother" to the rest of humanity, then he isn't Lord. To claim he's a spirit brother is to make yourself equal to Him, not to submit to Him. You cannot both hold to Latter Day Saint theology and also be saved. They are not compatible. To be saved means to do the hard thing. To turn from what you believe and to repent - to change your mind from where you are, and to believe in Him. But that also means leaving Mormonism behind. It's not easy, but this is about your eternal soul.

The replies in this thread and calling it absurd and ridiculous is ironic given that it's claims are no better or worse than LDS thelogy in the first place. LDS won't even self-reflect on how plural marriage and Joseph Smith making things after inventing the Book of Mormon is really on the same level as what they are complaining about.

LDS state that that the Holy Spirit continues to speak and reveal the truth. In part, I agree. What the Holy Spirit won't do, however, is contradict what is already laid out in Scripture. I have spent much time in prayer on whether or not Joseph Smith was a true prophet and if the Book of Mormon is true. I have done so sincerely. The Holy Spirit has revealed to me that Joseph Smith was a false prophet who preaches a counterfeit Jesus. He also revealed to me the Book of Mormon is a piece of fiction, and that because LDS see Jesus in a false light as a spirit brother to themselves, that Jesus also had to work out his own salvation, that they can't see Jesus as Lord - that because of this, they have never been born again, and don't have the Holy Spirit to guard them from the delusion. Rather, the Holy Spirit has taught me that LDS listen to false spirits entirely. #exmormon #lds #mormons

Even Satan quoted Scripture to Jesus during the temptation. So it is again with Mormonism, JW's and others. Islam has a Jesus who wasn't crucified. But any who are willing to look into the truth of these beyond any superficial similarity can see that none of these deal with the biblical Jesus.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you... the internet. We all know somebody like blue, sadly. But if somebody tells you that you are behaving like blue, please take notice. Never go full blue.

If you're going to claim to have been injured, maybe the photographs should actually show that? She's more like Amber Heard and less like Rihanna.

Oh, he's got plans for her for sure.

AI is getting too good at this.

For those looking into Mormonism or LDS, or latter day saints, (or whichever title they want to apply) I encourage you to look into the truth. When you look at the Book of Mormon, it looks innocuous at first. But remember a few things. Given the narrative, it should match up with Jewish theology. But it doesn't. Joseph Smith as a prophet should also match up as being a biblical prophet. He does not. More importantly, the whole of LDS Scripture includes Pearl of a Great Price and Doctrines and Covenants. If these were true, they should match up with what has been found historically. They do not. Most importantly, the Jesus presented should be the same Jesus as found in the Bible. But is He? No, He is not. The more you look into it, the more obvious the mismatch. To prevent bias, I ran some critical questions through Grok, which did pull from LDS sources. And while this only begins to scratch the surface, one inevitable conclusion is true here. Mormonism is false and the Mormon Jesus is a counterfeit. That's a path to destruction. God does not delight in lies. grok.com/project/0c91c414-8d…

Don't you know that Dihydrogen Monoxide can be toxic and used in the production of yoga mats? Maybe we should warn about that one too.

As I said, the internet rarely sends out its brightest and best. She decided to prove it via projection.
