    Mormonism Exposed Part 2

    For eons, numerous leaders have warned about religious heresies and the like (from JoelOsteen, TBN, Tyler Perry, a blatant false prophet & a false teacher Benny Hinn, Halloweenparties, etc. You dont carter to a worldly culture, but you confront it). One very importantlesson in life is to keep it honest. If you refuse sugarcoat your real views and become politicalcorrect, then people will gravitate to your message. You dont have to act Hollywood or act ina show. You can just keep it real and present the truth in an uncompromising fashion. Imsorry, but I dont believe that Almighty God would approve a so-called religious man in Atlantausing swear words, or a false prophet like Benny Hinn allowing a person to use drugs in frontof him, or the promotion of the prosperity Gospel. Mainstream religion is mental slavery. Theyor the establishment use Jesus as a crutch or a like control mechanism to promote the lies ofconformity to the world, non-resistant toward evil, tap dancing for no reason, the love ofmoney, obsess with materialism or designer clothing (that wont exist when you die), and asort of reactionary mentality (that is the opposite of the real teachings of Jesus Christ. Thereligious frauds are very conceited and convicted. You love how they wave the flag when Goddont want to worship no flag). Jesus Christ is a radical person. He is controversial. The realJesus isnt Santa, isnt some image in paintings, and he isnt a he was a real revolutionary

    human being. I respect Jesus Christ. I dont respect some fake cartoon character-likeatmosphere present in some religious circles. When you feel liberated, you feel free to have

    joy and to expose wickedness.The only we need to do is to be firm and strong, stickto real moral principles, and stand in support of what we stand for. As humans,we to put the pride to the side and we should just do the right thing. We have tosupport the underdog & the outcast in society (not just a regular person). Whenyou have people starving and suffering in the world, its not the time to bepolitically correct.

    Mormonism is an interesting religious organization. Mormonism is a religion was formed inAmerican soil, so it has a special place among the panorama of the American lexicon. Mormonshave more clout now than in previous years. Glenn Beck and Mitt Romney are Mormon peoplethat have huge followings. They present the image of them being conservative and embracingfamily values. Some of their more dedicated members refuse to use alcohol, tobacco, andbeverages containing caffeine. Yet, they ally with a religion with known heresies. The LDS ispulling off a public relations campaign in order to get more converts and try to control more ofthe U.S. government. Now, any Mormon should be treated with dignity and respect. People ofanother creed shouldn't be unfairly demonized. Yet, the truth must be shown. The truth is

    that Mormonism is not authentic Christianity. Mormonism was created by the FreemasonJoseph Smith not the Lord Jesus Christ. This invention of Mormon came about in 1830,which was 1800 years after ca. 30 A.D. The Book of Mormon is an addition to the NT and hasmany places that contradict the teachings of the New Testament. There are secret temple ritesthat only a few faithful Mormon will experience according to Bill Schnoebelen. It's been foundhistorically that many rituals of the Temple and Temple architecture of Mormon Temples arerooted in Freemasonry, witchcraft, and occultism. For example, there are resemblances of theEndowment ceremony and the rituals in Freemasonry. Like in the occult rituals of witchcraft,there is in Mormonism the practice of stitching markets on garments. There is a teachingincluded in LDS doctrine called, "The Law Of Eternal Progression. This is the Mormon

    teaching mentions that, "As man is, God once was and as God is, man maybecome..." (Joseph Smith, HISTORY OF THE CHURCH, v.6, p.305;JOURNAL OF DISCOURSES, v.6, p.305; JOURNAL OF DISCOURSES, v.6,

    p.3, 120).The Book of Abraham 4:3 teaches that there are many gods in Mormonism. TheMormon Church teaches that mere humans can be gods and goddesses in the celestial Kingdom(as found in the Doctrine and Covenants 132:19-20; Gospel Principles, p. 245; Achieving aCelestial Marriage, p. 130). The Old Testament and the New Testament teach that there is onlyone True and Living God without any other gods. This statement is found in Mark 12:29-34,

    Deut. 6:4, Isaiah 43:10,11, etc. This view of human godhood found in Gnosticism,Freemasonry, and the occult. Joseph Smith died young including his brother Hyrum.The deal was the Joseph Smith promoted polygamy and other secret teachings.Joseph Smith wanted a dissident Mormon paper destroyed as being a nuisance. Smithat first surrendered himself to jail in the village of Carthage, Illinois. His enemies alongwith others came and shot to death Joseph and Hyrum. According to Joseph Smithswidow, Joseph wore a silver Jupiter talisman (with occult symbols on it) on the night of

    his murder in the Carthage jail.Mormonism, Shadow or Reality by the Tanners in SaltLake City exposes Mormon deception.

    Brigham Young adopted Smiths teachings and defended rituals presented by Smith Nauvoo likepolygamy (and temple ceremonies). He spread into the Rocky Mountain wilderness. He cameinto Utah to spread his religion. Utah to Youngs follower was like a new Zion. The UnitedStates government by 1890 forced Mormon to reject the practice of polygamy to be publiclyabandoned.

    Some LDS Church members have an extreme view of trying to promote the Constitution, butrule America in some religious dictatorship. LDS Mormon false prophet Joseph Smith believedthat black skin was a curse, which is false and insanity. He said that: "...Not only was Caincalled upon to suffer, but because of his wickedness he became the father of an inferior race.A curse placed upon him and that curse has continued through his lineage and must do so whiletime endures. Millions of souls have come into this world cursed with a black skin and havebeen denied the privilege of Priesthood and the fullness of the blessings of the Gospel. Theseare the descendants of Cain. Moreover, they have been made to feel their inferiority and havebeen separated from the rest of mankind form the beginning..." (The Way to Perfection, pages101-102). Having black skin is a blessing from Almighty God. LDS Mormon Apostle Bruce R.McConkie said that Cain was cursed with black skin and blacks are descendants from Cain (notworthy of the Priesthood). There is no evidence for these false assumptions at all. BrighamYoung said the same thing in the Journals of Discourses. People have the nerve to acceptMormon tripe when they never accepted blacks in the Priesthood until the 1970's.

    The FBI files talked about Ezra Taft Benson, Ike (or President Dwight D. Eisenhower), and theJohn Birch Society. J. Edgar Hoover had a letter from Ezra Taft Benson marked as "personal-confidential." Benson served in a Presidential cabinet and was a part of the Mormon Church.Benson wanted to make Hoover to support the idea that the John Birch Society was a clearthinking anti-communist group. Benson believed in a worldwide communist conspiracy in aparanoid fashion. The JBS slandered former President Dwight D. Eisenhower as being a tool ofCommunists. Communism is a rival and immoral political philosophy, but paranoiaisn't a solution to handle it. You answer Communism with rational thinking,rational actions, and real cooperation with human beings in order to devise abetter, more liberty enriched society. Benson ironically served under IKE from thebeginning of his 8 year Presidency as the Secretary of Agriculture. Benson believed that

    Eisenhower wasn't going hard enough politically to combat Communism. Benson was Hoover'sfriend. Benson viewed Eisenhower's actions as being soft in fighting against communism. Bensonhad a thick FBI file that was obtained by the Freedom of Information Act. Like the Tea Partierstoday, Benson was worried about threats to freedom and the Constitution. He spoke out againstthe U.S. President as aiding enemies. The New Yorkermagazine, in its Oct. 18 issue, includedBenson as one of the tea partys ideological founding fathers which it called its confoundingfathers noting how Bensons public writing and speeches are quoted and admired bycommentator Glenn Beck, an icon of the movement. Glen Beck is a Mormon like the late Utahauthor/activist Cleon Skousen (who denounced communist corruption in America while defendingthe John Birch Society). Cleon Skousen is known for writing the books of The Naked Capitalistand The Naked Communist.

    The FBI files on Benson have shown that he persuaded the FBI to not condemn the JBS. TheJBS was created by Robert Welch in 1958 and it was named after a missionary turned murderedsoldier (he was killed by Chinese Communists after WWII). The FBI twice spied on Benson forEisenhower possibly (on whether he might resign from the cabinet during times of widespreadcriticism). Files also show that Hoover lied in later years to avoid Benson, seeking to distancehimself from Bensons support of the BirchSociety. Benson fought Communism as a part of hisLDS church's mission. Benson called government farm subsidies as socialistic that upset manyfarmers and their members of Congress. The FBI spied on him some more. For example, a Nov.

    20, 1953, FBI memo says that an undersecretary of state (whose name was censored fromreleased files) informed the FBI that the president is a little teed off with Secretary ofAgriculture Benson because he has not been successful in quieting the farmers, cattlemen,dairymen and Capitol Hill. The FBI memo said the matter has now been passed to the WhiteHouse and the president is unhappy about the whole thing. It added that the StateDepartment source said, It looks like Benson will be the fall guy. Hoover and Bensonexchanged books and speeches. I realize that only in the next life will we fully appreciate all youhave done to preserve freedom in this country, Benson wrote Hoover in 1965. I am mostgrateful for your exposure of the communist conspiracy and for the wonderful organization youhave established in the FBI. Benson viewed the JBS as promoting less government, moreindividual responsibility, and a better world. Benson lived to be 94 at 1994. Hoover died in theearly 1970's. Benson saw the fall of communism in Eastern Europe. He was the President of theLDS. Its been found that the John Birch Society have links to the Vatican/Jesuit network, some ofits early leaders had links to neo-fascists, and some of its early members had ties to the CFR too.Mormon leaders deny that God the Father had no origin and isnt born of a human.

    President Joseph Fielding Smith said: "Our Father in heaven according to theProphet, had a Father, and since there has been a condition of this kind through alleternity, each Father had a Father" (Doctrines of Salvation 2:47)...President Joseph F.

    Smith taught: "I know that God is a being with body, parts and passions...Man wasborn of woman; Christ, the Savior, was born of woman; and God, the Father wasborn of woman" (Church News, 19 Sept, 1936, p.2). (Search These Commandments,Melchizedek Priesthood Personal Study Guide, Copyright 1984 by Corporation of thePresident of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, page 152). The teachingthat Jesus Christ is married is no longer taught by the Mormon church. But the conceptis still consistent with the teaching of the Mormon church that a man now living mustbe married to progress and become a god.

    There are all sorts of Masonic and occult symbolism in Mormon Temples worldwide. It can

    be found even in the Navoo Temple in Illinois back in the 1840's. Back in Spring of 2002, the

    LDS completed its reconstruction of the Nauvoo Temple in Illinois. It was once destroyed

    after Mormons left the town. Symbolism in it relates to Freemasonry that Joseph Smith

    embraced. Hyrum was a Mason just like Joseph. Even Brigham Young is said to be another

    Freemason and Young was another famous innovator of the Mormon religion. Scholars likeReed Durham wrote that Masonry have had an influence on Joseph Smith and the

    development of Mormonism. 1842 was the time that records show Smith receiving the first

    degree of Freemasonry in the Nauvoo Lodge.Smith said that in March 16, 1842, Joseph

    Smith rose to the sublime degree. According to one source: "...The introduction of

    Freemasonry in NAUVOO had both political and religious implications....Eventually

    nearly 1,500 LDS men became associated with Illinois Freemasonry, including many

    members of the Church's governing priesthood bodiesthis at a time when the total

    number of non-LDS Masons in Illinois lodges barely reached 150."(Encyclopedia of

    Mormonism, vol.2, p.527). The original Nauvoo Temple had a weather vane with a Masonic

    square and compass above the angel. The square and compass in Freemasonry has a myriad

    of meanings. In Masonic rituals, the square deals with virtue or morality, while the Compassrelates to handle our conduct in boundaries (or boundaries). This is the covert

    interpretation of the Square and Compass. The overt meaning is the following. One is about

    the merging of the masculine and feminine energies to form Generation (Generation is the

    act of the male and female archetypes that merge to reproduce the Child):

    'The Compass, therefore, is the Hermetic Symbol of the Creative Deity and the Squareof the productive Earth or Universe'. [AlbertPike, "Morals and Dogma" , p. 850-1].

    The word "Creative Deity" refers to the sperm from the god whom Masons really worship,

    while the words, "productive Earth" refers to the female organ which receives the male

    sperm. This was found by the The Salt Lake Tribune by in May 4, 2002, pg. C3 as written

    by the reporter Peggy Stack. The Mormons now replaced it with the gold leafed Moroni

    (that is found in the Salt Lake Temple). The Endowment ritual by Joseph Smith is a highprobability of being related to Masonic rituals. The inverted stars in the Nauvoo Temple are

    related to Masonry too. The inverted star has many meanings from satanic influence, the

    travels of Venus in its 8 year cycle, Nature in general, and to the concept of the Perfected

    Man. The Pythagorean Pentagram with Greek letters at each point has existed for eons of

    time.

    The sun stone from the Nauvoo Temple with its human race (is similar to the Masonic

    depictions of the sun). Albert Pike, in his book,Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and

    Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, discusses the various Masonic symbols and theirmeaning. Masons used the beehive, the All Seeing Eye, the compass and square, the sun, the

    moon, and the stars (as found in the apron present to President George Washington by

    Freemason Lafayette. This is recorded by the book The Craft and Its Symbols: Opening the

    Door to Masonic Symbolism, by Allen E. Roberts, p.11). All of these symbols have been used

    by the Mormon religious church indeed, especially in the Salt Lake Temple. The beehive

    image is the Masonry emblem of industry or working. In 2011, the Church of JesusChrist of Latter Day Saints (or the LDS) holds no position for or against thecompatibility of Masonry with LDS Church Doctrine.

    Some believe that that Mormon Jon Huntsman could be another 2012 Presidential candidate likeMormon Mitt Romney. He was the former government of Utah. President Barack Obama

    appointed Huntsman as the ambassador to China in 2009. He acted as a moderateconservative governor in Utah. Huntsman recently bought a $3.6 million home in D.C. Hewas born in March 26, 1960. He resigned as the 16th Governor of Utah in August 11, 2009.Jon Meade Huntsman Jr. was the son of a billionaire businessman and philanthropist JonHuntsman of Huntsman Corporation. Jon was a Mormon missionary in Taiwan. This isn't unusualsince Mormons in high positions of power (from working in the FBI, Congress work, etc.) havedone missionary work in the world 9 times out of ten. Jon can speak standard Mandarin Chinesefluently and he's fluent in Taiwanese Hokkien. After college, Huntsman worked as a White Housestaff assistant in the Reagan Administration, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce andAmbassador to Singapore in the administration of President George H.W. Bush and a DeputyUnited States Trade Representative in the George W. Bush Administration. He was re-elected asgovernor of Utah in November 2008 with 77.7% of the vote, defeating Democratic Party nomineeBob Springmeyer. Huntsman listed economic development, health care reform, education, and

    energy security as his top priorities. He wants to expand health care mostly by the private sectorand negotiations to keep prices down. The establishment media says that he toes theconservative line on abortion and gun rights plus he supports civil unions (which is nothing morethan a different title for gay marriage. Regardless of what you think about this issue, one thing istrue. All human beings should have the right to work, to vote, and have all basic human rights as

    under the tenets of morality. You have to equal protection under the law, thefreedom of conscience, and religious freedom to establish a better society.You cant be some authoritarian theocrat and then claim moral superiority. There are noexceptions. Yet, not all sexual acts are morally right, so I want to make that clear. In other words,

    a pedophile is wrong and a man sexually exploiting women is wrong too. Any sexually deviantact ought to be strongly opposed and thats real). Huntsman reportedly purchased a home inthe Washington, D.C. are for almost $4 million. Mitt Romneys father was named GeorgeRomney. He in 1968 ran unsuccessfully for the Presidency. Virtually all adult males in

    Mormonism are priests. Mormon young men are ordained elders. There are two priesthoods,the Aaronic, which is for boys under eighteen that includes deacon, teacher and priest.

    After 18, a worthy young man is ordained into the higher or Melchizedek priesthood. Theoffices here are Elder, Seventy and High Priest. Additionally, some elders are called tolead a ward [local LDS congregation) and they are ordained high priests [if not one

    already] and made bishops).

    So, the Mormons are trying to promote a clean cut, boys next door image to cover up their ownheresies (as Mormonism isn't true Christianity. It wasn't even invented by Jesus Christ, but byJoseph Smith).

    Lance S. Owens wrote the article entitled, Joseph Smith: Americas Hermetic Prophet. This

    article outlined the links of the Hermeticism, Kabbalah & Gnosticism to Mormonism. This articlefirst appeared in Gnosis: A Journal of Western Inner Traditions from the Spring of 1995. Joseph

    Smiths friend was Alexander Neibaur. He was a Jewish person raised in the Polish borderlands

    of Prussia. He was educated in the University of Berlin. He learned about the Kabbalah and

    joined Mormonism. He was Smiths compassion and tutor in Hebrew. Niebaur carried a copy of

    the Zohar (or the Kabbalahs famous text). Joseph was probably knowledgeable of the Zohar

    under the tutelage of Neibaur. Mystical teachings, the promotion of human godhood, and love

    of the Kabbalah is ironically found in the Kabbalah, Gnosticism, Freemasonry, Hermeticism, and

    Mormonism. The Mysteries have similarities with each other indeed. For a decade, Brooke

    suggests, Smith's emergent hermetic theology was disguised under the coloring of traditional

    Christian restorationism and formed as new Christian church. But finally, in the last years of his

    life, the veil was parted:

    At Nauvoo he publicly and unequivocally announced his new theology of preexistent

    spirits, the unity of matter and spirit, and the divinization of the faithful, and he privatelypursued the consummation of alchemical-celestial marriage as the ultimate vehicle to this

    divinity. The alchemical-hermetic term of coniunctio powerfully summarizes the

    resolution that Smith had achieved at Nauvoo by the summer of 1844. He had establisheda theology of the conjunction--the unification--of the living and the dead, of men and

    women, of material and spiritual, of secular and sacred, all united in a "new and

    everlasting covenant" over which he would preside as king and god. In thesecircumstances the conventional boundary between purity and danger, right and wrong,

    law and revolution, simply melted away.... In effect the greater Mormon emergence canbe visualized as meta-alchemical experience running from opposition to union, an

    experience shaped and driven by the personality of Joseph Smith

    In other words, Joseph Smith came out of the closet more with his Hermetic views that

    make up a large portion of the modern Mormon religion. Hermeticism is one key part ofthe Mystery Religion construct. Hermeticism relates to Hermes. Hermes is the mythicalfigure of knowledge, city building, and enlightening mankind. Hermes is a known

    patron being found in Masonic lore. Later, the Founding Fathers used the concepts of theancients in order build up Washington, D.C. with its pagan/classical imagery. One of themaxims related to Hermes is as above, so below. That means that what is manifested inthe Heavens is manifested in Earth (or that the macrocosm of the Universe is related

    proportionally to the microcosm in the Earth).Next let's go to Morals and Dogma written by

    Albert Pike for Masons.(Published 1964) page 760: "As man [the unit of Humanity] is a

    microcosm.., containing all the Causates of the First Cause.. as the Material Man is the end and

    completion of all creation, so in the Divine Man is the beginning thereof As the inferior man

    ascends from the lowest matter even to the First Cause, so the Superior Adam descends from

    Simple and Infinite Act, even to the lowest and most attenuated Potence. The ternary is the

    bringing back of duality to unity

    God in Gnosticism and the Kabbalah isnt like one singular being. God is to the proponentsof these philosophies emanated from the First God (and caused a multitude of Gods tocome forth after each other to create the Universe). This is what Joseph Smith believedin. This is why He said that God was Himself once man and by advancing in intelligence,knowledge, and consciousness, he may become as God. Gnostics teach that Gnosis isknowledge that can lead humans to embrace their divine self.

    There are more secrets about Mormons and Masons. Joseph Smith is said to found goldplates that are about 6 inches wide and 9 or 10 inches long. Mormonism came after the anti-Masonic movement surfaced in the East Coast churches. This existed since the early 1820'sand intensified after the death of William Morgan by Freemasons. Even Baptists in 1820 inHamilton College in Clinton, NY resisted Freemasonry. In early 1821, the PresbyterianPittsburgh Synod declared that the Masonic Lodge is unfit for Christians. Now,Joseph Smith was a young money digger. He lived in New England and New York State.Smith believed that the angel Moroni gave him a book of golden plates that shown a secretreligious history of the ancient American peoples. He believed that the English translation ofthe plates exist as the Book of Mormon. Smith believed that matter can't be created nordestroyed. He believed God the Father as existing near a star or planet named Kolob. SomeMormons even believe in baptism of the dead too. So, Mormonism is odd indeed. Now,Masons today have used an obelisk to celebrate the Canton's Viaduct in America tomark its 175th anniversary this year. This was done by the Grandmaster of the Blue HillsMasonic Lodge John Ciccotelli stands by the granite monument set to be ceremoniouslyrevealed commemorating the Scottish Freemasons on Sunday. When you get down to it, theJWs, Wiccans, Mormons, Masons, etc. believe in different flavors of the same thing. AnnaleeSkarin made an offshoot of Mormonism being a small metaphysical religion. In 1948, shepublished Ye are Gods. This book relates to the lie that Satan told Adam and Eve aboutthem being gods if they eat the fruit from the tree. We all know how that turned out. NewAgers like Elizabeth Clare Prophet think humans can be gods and she supports MasonicLodges. Man can never be God period.

    Glen Beck is presenting his new book. His New Age is New Age like in many ways. Beck is actinglike a politically conservative alternative to the more liberal Oprah Winfrey. Beck's new book isentitled, "The Seven Wonders That Will Change Your Life." It's been co-authored by thefamous psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow. It promotes universalism, post modernism, andpagan spirituality. That is why I didn't support his 8/28/2010 rally since it promoted theview that all faiths follow the one true God (and its political philosophies are reactionary).Both Beck and Dr. Ablow promote the controversial Sigmund Freud, the pro-Gnostic Carl Jung,New Age authors Robert Pirsig and James Redfied, Buddha, Buddhist teacher Sogyal Rinpoche,Gandhi, The Bible and the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas. Sadly, Glenn is confused and all

  • 8/7/2019 The Mysteries of Mormonism Exposed Part 2

    9/12

    Christians should pray that he will come to salvation in the Jesus of the Bible through faith andrepentance. On page 56 Beck says he read A Course in Miracles by Helen Schuman which is theBible of the New Age Movement. Helen Schucman claimed that a spirit channeled her to write herbook. On page 79 Beck and Dr. Ablow promote transcendental meditation and EasternMysticism. On 85 we read, "As you commit to unlocking and bringing forth the truth inside you,don't be afraid to pray for help. Don't be reticent to sit with yourself in silence and meditate.Connect with the miracle of spirit, of God, that has lived inside you from long before you wereborn." Christian mediation doesn't deal with bringing forth the truth inside of you or God living inyou before you was born. This is New Age ideology period. On page 132 Beck and Ablowproclaim, "Pray to whatever higher power you believe inPraying that God orNature or the Cosmos or your own internal, immeasurable reservoir of spiritallows you the courage and faith to find and then face the truth" On page 236,reincarnation is promoted through the writings of Robert Pirsig's book, Zen and the Art ofMotorcycle Maintenance, "the 'spirit' of Chris or the 'ghost' of Chris, then you can say withoutfurther translation that the spirit or ghost of Chris is looking for a new body to enter." Glen Beckknows about Mormonism since he admitted that he looked at literature that dissent with theMormon religion.

    The handshake image is very Masonic to say the least.

    *The spiritual, cultural, and administrative center of the Mormon religion is found in Salt Lake City,Utah. It has a huge Temple within the confines of 10 acres of land. This land has a Temple, adomed tabernacle, and other buildings. Monuments and memorials consume the place as well.Today, the LDS leadership has a lot of economic and political power. For example, they own

    power companies. They are trying to own thousands of acres of farmland, orchards, etc. in theworld. They own TV stations, etc. In spiritual terms, just because a creed like Mormonism uses amore positive outward appearance with so-called good works, doesnt mean that the creed is alegitimate, forthright expression of authentic spirituality. Mormonism also teaches that Jesus

    Christ and the Devil are spirit brothers. Here is a quote from the June 1986 edition of

    Ensign, an official magazine of the Mormon faith: "Both the scriptures and the prophetsaffirm that Jesus Christ and Lucifer are indeed offspring of our Heavenly Father and,

    therefore, spirit brothers ... But as the Firstborn of the Father, Jesus was Lucifer's older

    brother."Brigham Young denies the Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ or that Jesus was begotten bythe Holy Spirit. Young work in the Journal of Discourses book that:

    When the Virgin Mary conceived the child Jesus, the Father had begotten him in his

    own likeness. He was not begotten by the Holy Ghost. And who was the Father? He isthe first of the human family Jesus our elder brother was begotten in the flesh by

    the same character that was in the garden of Eden, and who is our Father in Heaven

    (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 1, pp.50 and 51, emphasis mine). He called Adam his God:

    When our father Adam came into the garden of Eden, he came into it with a celestial

    body, and brought Eve, one of his wives, with himHeis our Father and our God,

    and the only God with whom we have to do. (The Kingdom of the Cults, Walter

    Martin, p.212, ISBN 0-87123-796-2, emphasis mine).

    The conception of Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit, His Virgin Birth, His death, burial, and

    resurrection are non-negotiable pillars of the Christian faith. As the evidence conclusively

    proves, Mormonism is a restoration of the Masonic mysteries under the false Christianveil. Mormonism has different levels of power like the Aaronic priesthood, the

    Melchizedek Priesthood, the top prophet, and the Presidency.

    There are tons of other information about Mormonism too. Elder Isaac Russell was aprominent, early Mormon missionary to Great Britain in 1837. Captain Joseph H.Russell was an original investor in the Mormon Deseret Manufacturing Co. This wasintended to be an umbrella company for many of the early Mormon enterprises.Sidney Rigdon promoted a commune system. He joined the Freemasons. He tookJoseph Smith from being a so-called "prophet' without a church to a "prophet" withan organized church of 2 communes. Rigdon's congregations at Kirkland gaveJoseph Smith the nucleus of his Mormon community. Horace Greeley (an editor of

    the daily New York Tribune) gave Joseph Smith some of his early publicity. WilliamJ. Schnoebelen was a Master Mason, an ex-Wiccan High Priest, etc. He is a bornagain Christian and said that the grips, oaths, prayers, garments, and the Mormon'sTemple designs are copied from magic and Masonic (with occult significance asshown in his book called "Mormonism's Temple of Doom"). The Joseph Smith familyhas a Masonic dove medallion, a healing amulet, and other occult items. JosephSmith was a known supporter of witchcraft and supernatural concepts. In the ritualsof the 13th, 14th, and 21st degrees of Masonry the legend (derived from cabbalisticsources) is told of Enoch's gold plate. The resemblance of the Masonic Legend toJoseph Smith, Jr.s story about finding the gold plates is interesting. The stories arebasically identical, which suggests Mormonism may have been founded from thebeginning on a Masonic legend. Joseph Smith and his family utilized the action ofcrystal-gazing. His ilk used scrying that was used by Nostradamus and MasonicLegend.

    Some Evangelicals want to unite with the Mormons. There are many of theestablishment Evangelical leaders meeting with Mormons in Salt Lake City. They

    want dialogue to have better understanding. This is silly since Mormonism is notChristianity. If the Mormons want real communication, they should end the heresies

  • 8/7/2019 The Mysteries of Mormonism Exposed Part 2

    11/12

    in their own creed. These evangelicals include Lieth Anderson (or the Presidentof the National Association of Evangelicals), Richard Mouw (President ofFuller Seminary), and David Neff (or editor in chief of Christianity today).

    Anderson said that: We hope this time of dialogue with LDS leaders will deepenour understanding of the Mormon faith and contribute to the ongoing work of

    evangelicals in Utah (Evangelicals, Mormon, Christian Post, March 10, 2011). Thisis a continuation of something that began several years ago. In November 2004, anEvening of Friendship at the Salt Lake Mormon Tabernacle featured someevangelicals seeking a better understanding of and relationship with Mormons. RaviZacharias, the main speaker, was joined by Richard Mouw, Craig Hazen (a professorat Biola), Joseph Tkach, Jr., head of the World Wide Church of God, and CCMmusician Michael Card. Card said that Mormonism and Evangelical Christianity arentopposed to each other and they are 2 ends of a long thread (or 2 of the same thing).

    This is Ecumenicalism as the Ecumenicals want more power in the world. The 2004and the recent dialogue was sponsored by Standing Together Ministries. It was

    formed in 2001 by the Evangelical preacher Greg Johnson. Greg was in dialogueswith Mormon professor Robert Millet. Johnson is a radical Ecumenist. Greg wantedto united Mormons and other Christians. He and his allies Craig Bloomberg ofDenver Seminary (and Steve Robinson of Brigham Young University) believe that thedivide of Mormons and bible believing Christians isnt as wide as formerly though.

    Mormonism is obviously a false gospel and believes in a false Christ. There is nothingwrong with peaceful communications with Mormons, but its wrong to deny what

    Mormonism is really all about.Mormonism came from Joseph Smith not the Lord

    Jesus Christ. The Bible says that we reprove false doctrines and hope for people to

    wake up about spiritual deception. Now, Mormonism teaches that the Father Godhas once flesh and bones, that Jesus and Lucifer are spirit brothers, and that humans

    can achieve godhood to create children on their own planets. These are heresies tothe 10th degree.

    Also, we should deal with bringing education to people, improve the environment, fight poverty,and build the standard of living among all peoples.

    Acts 3:17-19 mentions that: And now, brethren, I wot that throughignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers. But those things, which

    God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christshould suffer, he hath so fulfilled. Repent ye therefore, and be

    converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times ofrefreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
