Mormon Dilemma 280
For Satan so Tricked their Minds… Ensign, November 2008, pg 28; “‘God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son.’ The Lord Jesus Christ is our partner, helper, and advocate. He wants us to be happy. He wants us to be successful. If we do our part, He will step in.” – […]
Mormon Dilemma 120
Whom Did the Lord Choose? Ensign, Jan. 2006, 34-35; “In a surprisingly short time, the [ancient] Church disassembled.

Ensign and Journal of Discourses
The Ensign and Journal of Discourses The LDS Church’s claim to fame is that they are “the only true church” of Jesus Christ on the earth. Members learn their church leaders are “called” by God and upon receiving a calling to serve in the Church you are told that it’s God who is calling […]
Where is Jesus in Mormonism?
I recently come across a pro-LDS website that had a list of things one LDS thinks the Mormons should do for 2008. After I read over this list it struck me that there is no mention of Jesus. The number one top thing on this list is what really caught my attention. It said; […]
