10 OT Crucifixion Prophecies Compared to Doctrine and Covenants 19:18
One of the most egregious lies from Joseph Smith has to be his false claim that Jesus’ atonement for man’s sin took place in the Garden of Gethsemane.
D&C 19:18“Which suffering caused myself, even God, the greatest of all, to tremble because of pain, and to bleed at every pore, and to suffer both body and spirit—and would that I might not drink the bitter cup, and shrink—”
1.Mormons don’t believe Jesus is God.
2.Jesus didn’t pay for sins in the Garden of Gethsemane.
3.Smith made Jesus out to be a weak man in his description of supposed events in Gethsemane.
Truth:
There are 30 OT prophecies and/or foreshadowing events of Jesus’ payment for man’s sin on the cross. We can read how each of them were foretold and fulfilled in the Bible.
For the sake of time and space, today we’re looking at just 10 of those awesome prophecies. Please, do share these and other fulfilled promises of God with the Mormon you know!
With Love in Christ;
