Foundation for Christian Studies

Generally Mormons are really nice people. They are very family oriented and claim to be Christians while denying the very foundational doctrines of the historic Christian faith. A new website Foundation for Christian Studies is online to legitimize the LDS church. It is very nicely done, uses Christianeze well, and paints as intolerant those who insist that certain core doctrines must be believed to be a Christian in their section Christian Defined : Continue reading »

NEW YORK (CNS) — For the first time, representatives of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints participated in a papal prayer service — and it all started over coffee.
In an interview with Catholic News Service and other reporters before the start of the ecumenical prayer service at St. Joseph’s Church in New York April 18, Father James Massa, executive director of the U.S. bishops’ Secretariat of Ecumenical and Interrreligious Affairs, said that during a coffee break at a recent meeting a representative of the Latter-day Saints asked him if there was any possibility of their participation in the papal visit.

A Doctrinal Study of Mormon Theology Concerning The Ability to Spend Eternity Living In Heavenly Father’s Presence For The Truth Seeking Mormon or Christian Witness To The Mormon
Having just returned from 10 days in the heart of Mormon culture, the Great Basin nestled within the confines of the Wasatch Mountain range in the state of Utah, United States of America, my heart is broken for the Mormon people. My heart is broken over their being trapped in a religion that heaps on them the penalty of God’s Law, death, and eternal separation from God. Mormonism teaches as their gospel that in order to inherit eternal life (spending eternity in the Heavenly Father’s presence) one must keep all of God’s commandments. [1]

Une étude doctrinale sur la théologie Mormon concernant la capacité de vivre pour l’éternité dans la présence du Père Céleste.
Adressée au Mormon qui cherche la Vérité ou au Chrétien désirant témoigner aux Mormons.
J’ai le cour brisé pour le peuple Mormon suite à mon séjour au cour de leur culture – le Grand Bassin – niché dans les limites de l’étendue de la montagne Wasatch dans l’état du Utah aux Etats-Unis. Mon cour est brisé par le fait qu’ils sont piégés par une religion qui les accablent, au moyen de la pénalité de la Loi de Dieu, la mort et la séparation éternelle d’avec Dieu. L’évangile Mormon enseigne que l’homme doit garder tous les commandements de Dieu afin d’hériter la vie éternelle (de vivre éternellement dans la présence du Père Céleste). La Chrétienté historique enseigne le contraire, c’est-à-dire que de vivre éternellement avec Dieu est Son don gratuit et que si nous essayons de vivre sous la Loi et que nous transgressons un seul point de la Loi, nous sommes alors coupables de briser toute la Loi. Toujours dans la Chrétienté historique, la mort ou la séparation d’avec Dieu pour l’éternité est la conséquence de la transgression de la Loi. La doctrine déclare que les Mormons doivent garder toute la Loi : « Mais, malgré tout ceci, Il (Jésus) a observé toute la Loi de Dieu et est demeuré sans péché, démontrant ainsi la capacité de l’homme à garder la Loi et à demeurer également sans péché. » Le Mormonisme accable aussi son peuple du fardeau que l’homme doit atteindre un point dans sa vie où il cesse de pécher, et même d’avoir le désir ou une forte envie de pécher. En d’autres mots, il doit parvenir à la perfection dans sa vie ici-bas. La perfection dont il parle n’est pas celle de Jésus, puisqu’Il n’a jamais péché, mais plutôt un point de non-retour au péché, « car la perfection est un but accessible » au sein de cette religion.

When I returned from the ISCA Conference and checked my email on Monday the one from Brooks Alexander with the Spiritual Counterfeits Project caught my immediate attention:
At one time, CT was referred to as “Christianity Yesterday”. Stung by that appellation, they tried so hard to become trendy that they turned themselves into something that isn’t “Christianity Yesterday, Today or Tomorrow”, but rather “Christianity From Some Other Dimension That I Don’t Even Recognize!” Continue reading »

Okay I am going to say it straight out, Gen. 12:3 is very plain and it is time to look at what is happening in a very real and spiritual way.
George Bush’s Road Map to Hell is against the Word of God, the Disengagement of Gaza forced on Israel by the US President has caused much suffering to the Jewish people and it has been a curse to Israel. He is now talking about the necessity of Israel giving more land to the “Palestinians”, he simply will not stop until Israel has been destroyed for that was his deal with the Islamic Arab world.

Religious ‘Bait-and-Switch’!
Are the media campaigns reality or just rhetoric? LDS TV ads appeal to the emotions and portray an appearance of true Christianity. So what are the trophies hidden behind this Mormon showcase? The ads promise better lives, but the statistics are in opposition (primarily 1990 stats). Continue reading »

As one who has stood on the wall for God’s Truth for almost two decades and has experienced the loss of three churches. The growing apostasy and the speed of the apostasy is now amazing me. Two to five times a week I receive a letter from someone who has had to leave his or her church because it has started to introduce The Purpose Driven life or another church growth program, ecumenism, the Alpha Course or some other heresy. One of the ways that ecumenism is contributing to the apostasy is by seducing God’s people into believing that Jesus is just another way, but the only way for them. The Roman Catholic Church states this in their catechism by stating in section 846 that there is not other way to heaven except through the RCC, yet in the very next section (847) it states that people of other faiths can achieve salvation outside of Jesus Christ. The common theological term is called inclusivism. Another way that ecumenism is contributing to the apostasy is by good men of God not going far enough in pointing out error or pointing out false teachers and false prophets among God’s people. An example of this follows. Continue reading »

Are friendships with Mormons and criticism mutually exclusive? And should all evangelism to Mormons be in the context of friendship? The Salt Lake Theological Seminary Bridges movement [1] would answer in the affirmative to both questions. The movement has become quite influential in the minds of many that conduct ministries to Mormon people. In fact, it seems that it has become quite an influential mode of doing any evangelism in our post-modern culture. This movement seems to be manifesting recently in a series of dialogues between an Evangelical and a Mormon. Continue reading »

I asked a Mormon missionary today, “Do you think there are any Quakers on Mars?” He just didn’t know either way. I wondered since Joseph Smith said there were people on the moon who looked like Quakers. Yet Neil Armstrong found it a barren, airless, uninhabitable wasteland. Mormonism’s founder declared, “The inhabitants of the moon are more of a uniform size than the inhabitants of the earth, being about 6 feet in height. ” They dress very much like the Quaker style and are quite general in style, or fashion of dress. “They live to be very old; coming generally, near a thousand years. “This is the description of them as given by Joseph the seer, and he could ‘See’ whatever he asked the father in the name of Jesus to see,” (Journal of Oliver B. Huntington, Vol. 3, p. 166; as recorded at the Utah State Historical Society). Continue reading »

For those who study Mormonism, here are several problems with the Moroni story.
He allegedly appeared to Joseph Smith as an angel of light. “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” (2 Cor. 11:14-15) Continue reading »

Longtime Mormon critics look back as they contemplate retirement.
The Tanners
There are times when one plots out a course in life, and, with calculated steps, eventually reaches the sought-after goal. Other times, events occur and a person is carried along to a place in life that was never charted, but, once there, they are no less grateful for having arrived. Continue reading »
