I’ve nearly read the Book of Mormon and been to church couple times. I’m not sure if I should get baptized. It’s a big decision, and joining means paying 10% of my income to the Church. I’m originally from Europe, where LDS is small, so I have limited knowledge. I’m wondering what should I ask the people at church…

If God wanted the gospel to be restored, why has the ripple effect of the First Vision and the Book of Mormon had 0.002% of the effect on the world that Jesus' death and resurrection had? The printing press has existed for all of LDS history. The radio has existed for about half of LDS history. TV has existed for almost half of LDS history. The internet has existed for about 1/5 of LDS history. But there are only 18 million followers out of 8.3 billion people? The plan is not working.

What TV show had the greatest theme song of all time? A) The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air B) The Jeffersons C) Friends D) The Golden Girls E) Name another show ✍️

Joseph Smith: Lied about his visions. Was a career conman. Was a false prophet who blasphemed the Holy Ghost by speaking presumptuously for God. Trampled upon the blood of the martyrs by saying they were all corrupt. Dictated counterfeit “scriptures.” Defrauded many people of their life savings with illegal banking practices. Committed adultery many times. Seduced several young teenaged girls. (Kind way of putting it.) Was justifiably tarred and feathered by an angry mob. Boasted that no man ever did such work as him. Bribed judges. Desired to make himself king. Ordered the destruction of a printing press when they exposed his secret polygamy. Fled from justice several times. Threatened his detractors. Assembled a militia to intimidate government officials. Was arrested forty times for his crimes against humanity. Smuggled a gun into jail. Lived by the sword and died by it. Yet, he is faithfully praised and adored by his blind LDS followers. Lord, open their eyes to the truth. Joseph Smith's fruit was rotten.

Galatians 1:8 Is Not Tired - The Verse Mormon Apologetics Still Has to Answer Key Passage: Galatians 1:8–9 — “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” Introduction Somebody told me Galatians 1:8 is “tired.” That is a remarkable complaint to make against a verse of Scripture. Apparently the verse has been working too many shifts. Somebody needs to give Paul a vacation, put the Holy Ghost on administrative leave, and inform God that His warning has exceeded the acceptable number of uses in Mormon discussions. The irony would be funny if the subject were not eternal. Galatians 1:8 is not tired. People are tired of having to answer it. There is a difference. A fire alarm does not become obsolete because the fellow sleeping under it is annoyed by the noise. A stop sign does not expire because you have passed it every morning for twenty years. And a biblical warning does not lose one ounce of authority because a religious system has spent nearly two centuries hearing Christians point to it. Paul did not write Galatians 1:8 for novelty. He wrote it because another gospel is damnably serious business. Then, apparently worried that some future religious salesman might pretend he missed the first warning, he repeated it in the next verse. “As we said before, so say I now again.” God did not whisper this one. And notice what Paul does not say. He does not say, “If somebody brings you a new gospel, compare personalities.” He does not say, “Ask whether the missionaries are polite.” He does not say, “Examine how wholesome their families look.” He does not say, “Count their temples, admire their charity work, inspect the shine on their shoes, and see whether they look sincere enough to trust.” Paul goes directly to doctrine. What gospel is being preached? That is the issue. And he deliberately sets the bar as high as language can set it: “though we, or an angel from heaven.” Paul places himself beneath the gospel already delivered. He places angelic messengers beneath it. He places later claims beneath it. He puts every supernatural experience, every testimony, every restored prophet, every shining being, every new book, every priesthood claim, every revelation, and every theological system beneath what God has already said. Paul does not fear the supernatural; he refuses to let the supernatural rewrite the gospel. That is why Galatians 1:8 is not merely relevant to Mormonism. It is tailor-made for testing any later movement claiming restored revelation, additional scripture, angelic involvement, new prophetic authority, or recovered gospel truth. The verse does not name Joseph Smith because Joseph Smith did not exist when Paul wrote. It does something stronger: it establishes a permanent rule before Joseph Smith arrives. The rule is simple enough for a child and sharp enough to cut through an apologetics department: if the later message produces another gospel, reject it, even if the messenger comes wrapped in supernatural credentials. That means the question is not whether Mormon apologists are tired of hearing Galatians 1:8. The question is whether Mormonism preaches the same gospel Paul preached. If it does, demonstrate it. If it does not, complaints about how often the verse has been used are just theological earplugs. 1. Paul Repeated It Because God Wanted the Warning Heard The first thing that ought to embarrass anybody calling Galatians 1:8 “overused” is that Paul himself immediately repeats it. Verse 8 says, “let him be accursed.” Verse 9 says, “As we said before, so say I now again.” Evidently repetition was not beneath apostolic dignity. Evidently Paul did not believe a warning loses force after one use. Evidently the Holy Ghost thought the danger was serious enough to drive the

We need Caesar Only a strong executive will do what we need done to right the ship. Guys for the history books like Andrew Jackson and George Washington

I love @BasedMikeLee & know him to be a patriotic conservative who has always been pro-life & fights the radical LGTBQ agenda... but mormonism isn't a branch of christianity it is a separate & distinct religion with its own bible, no belief in the trinity, no belief in salvation by faith in christ, they have 3 heavens and they believe only Mormons reach the highest level.... they agree with us on moral and cultural issues which is why we consider them friends in political issues but on matters of faith... we don't share the same faith

Yesterday, I was feeling frustrated with the amount of LDS content out there that doesn't fully align with the true teachings of the gospel. In answer to my questions and prayers, the Lord led me to a talk given by Ezra Taft Benson at BYU many years ago. Perhaps some of this will be helpful to you as well. 🧵
