Visitors -Mormons

We had two young men come to our doorstep. I could tell right away by their age, black suits, ties and name tags they were probably Mormon boys. Soaked by the rain and they greeted me with a smile, their names and a handshake.

I give them credit for getting out there to spread their religion no matter what the weather might be.

Armed with their little blue book by Joseph Smith they asked me if I knew whom they represented and I said yes. Though they may sound like they are followers of Jesus Christ and will tell you they think highly of Jesus Christ they are disrespecting him all the same. For Jesus Christ is LORD and Savior. There is no other way to heaven except through him.

Respectfully, I simply told them I didn’t believe in their prophet and I respect what the scriptures says about not adding or taking anything away from what the bible says. This ended our conversation rather quickly but as they shook my hand I looked both of them in the eye and with a genuine Holy Spirit filled word said, “There are false prophets.” I was rather concerned for the younger one as I held his hand the longest. The older one said, “We know there are false prophets” and then they quickly left. I know God's word never goes void.

In all honesty, I didn’t want to answer the door once I saw who was standing behind it but then I was reminded of whom I represent and what my actions say about the one who transformed me- God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

For I came to the Father first, who then gave me the Son (Jesus Christ) who then baptized me in the Holy Spirit.

I felt sorry for the lads but fortunately I have known several people have turned from Mormonism to true Christian faith.

Mormons have many rules, which require some strong devotion but this is what the bible says about that.

Colossians 2:23 “These rules may seem wise because they require strong devotion, humility, and severe bodily discipline. But they have no effect when it comes to conquering a person's evil thoughts and desires.”

Mormons want to claim they are Christians but they are false apostles.

2 Corinthians 11:12-15 “But I will continue doing this to cut the ground out from under the feet of those who boast that their work is just like ours. These people are false apostles. They have fooled you by disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. But I am not surprised! Even Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light. So it is no wonder his servants can also do it by pretending to be godly ministers. In the end they will get every bit of punishment their wicked deeds deserve.

Mormons are like the false Christians in Paul's time who wanted Christians to follow Jewish regulations. Regulations are a way to control people but faith in Jesus is what makes you Holy and acceptable to God.

Galatians 2:4-5 Even that question wouldn't have come up except for some so-called Christians there--false ones, really --who came to spy on us and see our freedom in Christ Jesus. They wanted to force us, like slaves, to follow their Jewish regulations. But we refused to listen to them for a single moment. We wanted to preserve the truth of the Good News for you.

This is what the bible says about False Prophets such as Joseph Smith.

Matthew 7:15 "Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep, but are really wolves that will tear you apart.”

2 Peter 2:1 “But there were also false prophets in Israel, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will cleverly teach their destructive heresies about God and even turn against their Master who bought them. Theirs will be a swift and terrible end.”

Know where you stand when you speak to a Mormon or any other false religion such as a Jehovah Witness.

1 John 4:4 But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won your fight with these false prophets, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.

Mormons come in Jesus’ name to lead many astray.

Matthew 24:4-5 Jesus told them, "Don't let anyone mislead you. For many will come in my name, saying, `I am the Messiah.' They will lead many astray.”

Jesus is God. Mormons don’t believe Jesus is God.

John 1:1 In the beginning the Word already existed. He was with God, and he was God.

1 John 1:1 The one who existed from the beginning is the one we have heard and seen. We saw him with our own eyes and touched him with our own hands. He is Jesus Christ, the Word of life.

Revelation 19:13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and his title was the Word of God.

Mormons have added and disregarded God’s word.

Proverbs 30:5-6 “Every word of God proves true. He defends all who come to him for protection. Do not add to his words, or he may rebuke you, and you will be found a liar.”

Revelation 22:18-20 “And I solemnly declare to everyone who hears the prophetic words of this book: If anyone adds anything to what is written here, God will add to that person the plagues described in this book. And if anyone removes any of the words of this prophetic book, God will remove that person's share in the tree of life and in the holy city that are described in this book. He who is the faithful witness to all these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon!" Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!”

A certain faith is not going to get you to heaven. Only the faith that Jesus who is GOD, became flesh, died and rose again will save you. If you are Mormon or you are practicing Mormonism or you are seeking God and have found yourself in the Mormon Church, I will strongly urge you to question what Joseph Smith has written. It is not the bible. It is not too late to come to the real Christ. If you care more about what God thinks then followers of Joseph Smith think- then ask God and he will reveal the truth to you.

All these verses that I was led to in the BIBLE should make it pretty plain and clear but ask him anyway.

“But when you ask him, be sure that you really expect him to answer, for a doubtful mind is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. People like that should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. They can’t make up their minds. They waver back and forth in everything they do.” (James 1:6-8)
