Christianity vs. Mormonism (Part 10)

Witnessing

• Joseph Smith was a liar
• The said there were cities all over the Americas that held many, many people. Not one city has been found, not one crumb, not one remain. In the Bible multitudes of cities have been found.
• He was a complete deceiver. He deceived people into believing he had a revelation from God, when he did not.
• The Book of Abraham has been proven false and Joseph Smith along with it.
• DNA evidence proved him to be a liar when he said the Lamanites and the Indians descended from the Jews. He lied about that.
• He was a liar and a false prophet from the very beginning. Do you want to follow a man like that?

The Bible is free of error, it is the true Word of God. Don’t let me or anyone else convince you of that, you read the Bible and find out for yourself. Your eternal destiny is at stake.

This is not an argument about “my religion” or “yours”, rather this is a question of what the Truth is. It’s a question of what the evidence is. It’s a question of “did a man come along 1800 years into the history of Christianity and totally revise what Christianity and the Bible says? That’s what we believe Joseph Smith did. If you’re a Mormon or thinking about Mormonism, I would urge you to examine objectively the life of Joseph Smith and the reliability in the teaching of the Book of Mormon over against the Jesus of the New Testament and the reliability of the Bible and its Truthfulness.

The Mormon people are a precious people. We love them and they are worth the battle. I have a tremendous amount of respect for how hard they work for the burden they carry to live up to their impossible gospel demands. We’re fighting for the Mormon people, not against them, because we love them and because we want them to see Christ in his true Glory and to escape the bondage of this lie.

When backed up into a corner by Biblical fact, a Mormon most always says, “well I’ve experienced the testimony.” If you ask them what they mean by the testimony, is that the burning of the bossom? They’ll say, “Yes and you too can experience the burning of the bossom if you’ll pray and ask God if what Joseph Smith said is true.” It is amazing to stake your eternal life based on some kind of a feeling. Where would you find that in the Scriptures? Absolutely nowhere.

Jeremiah 17:9 - The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?

Proverbs 14:12 - There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.

Simple Question: Trust in Jesus Christ or Joseph Smith?

Joseph Smith

Fraud

Womanizer; many wives

False prophet

Book of Mormon; nothing to support it; no evidence

Jesus Christ

The Savior, who's God and became man

The Bible is supported by 100's even 1,000's of prophecies, proofs, evidence, history, archeology; we can prove it.

Where do you want to put your hope in eternity? Joseph Smith or Jesus Christ and His Word?
