Heavenly Mothers? LDS Doctrine Exposes Polygamist View of God

Mormon doctrine doesn’t reflect the heart, character, or justice of the true God of the Bible. The idea that God is a polygamist with multiple wives—and that women are eternally bound to men in a hierarchy where they have no equal standing or freedom—is not just troubling. It’s completely foreign to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Bible teaches that there is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4), and He is not an exalted man with celestial wives. He is eternal, unchanging, holy, and complete in Himself (Malachi 3:6; Isaiah 44:6). Nowhere in Scripture do we see God portrayed as a polygamist. In fact, biblical marriage consistently points to one man and one woman in covenant love, reflecting Christ’s love for His Church (Ephesians 5:31–32). That’s the true pattern—not Joseph Smith’s manipulative vision of celestial polygamy.

You're absolutely right—Doctrine & Covenants 132, which lays out eternal polygamy, has never been renounced. It’s still canonized LDS scripture. And leaders like Nelson and Oaks continue to be sealed to multiple women. That’s not a dead doctrine—it’s just hidden behind softer language.

But Jesus doesn’t treat women this way.

The real Jesus—the Jesus of the Bible—honored women, elevated them, and invited them into relationship with Him, not into eternal subordination. He didn’t build a system where men get spiritual privileges and women get recycled into eternal plural marriages. He offered salvation and eternal life to all who believe—equally and freely (Galatians 3:28).

What you’re feeling isn’t rebellion—it’s discernment. You’re seeing the cracks in a system built on power and deception, not truth and grace. And you’re not alone. Many have walked away from Mormonism not out of bitterness, but out of a desire to know the real God—the God of the Bible who doesn't need wives, temples, or priesthood structures to prove His divinity.

I pray you’ll keep asking questions. Keep comparing LDS teachings with God’s Word. Because when you do, the lies fall apart—and the truth of Jesus Christ shines brighter than ever.

Do Christians and Mormons Worship the Same Jesus?

You’ve probably heard people say, “Mormons are Christians, so they worship the same Jesus.” But if you actually look at what Mormonism teaches, that’s just not true. Real Christianity is all about the Trinity—one God in three persons: Father, Son (Jesus), and Holy Spirit. Jesus isn’t just some regular guy who became God later. Nope. He’s fully God and fully human, eternal, and never changes. The Bible says Jesus was there “in the beginning” and “the Word was God” (John 1:1), and that “the Word became flesh and made his home among us” (John 1:14). Everything was made through Him (Colossians 1:16). He’s the one and only Savior (Acts 4:12). But Mormonism? They say Jesus was once just a man who got bumped up to godhood. Plus, they see God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit as three separate gods. That’s way different from the Bible’s clear “God is one” message (Deuteronomy 6:4). Why does this even matter? Because if Jesus isn’t really God, then He can’t save us. The Bible says Jesus is...

Mormonism’s Mirror: The Double Standard No One Talks About

Within Mormonism, a striking double standard is evident: while the movement criticizes Christianity for having tens of thousands of denominations, it overlooks the fact that Mormonism itself has splintered into numerous factions, each claiming exclusive authority from Joseph Smith. From the mainstream LDS Church to the Community of Christ, Fundamentalist LDS groups, and other smaller sects, the pattern is clear—authority is claimed, fractured, and disputed. This raises a simple question: if Mormonism’s critique of Christianity’s diversity is valid, shouldn’t it apply equally to the movement itself? For a faith that claims to restore the “true church of Jesus Christ,” how can internal divisions be reconciled with the idea of divine guidance and unity? The inconsistency is glaring. While Mormon leaders emphasize obedience to the chain of authority, they ignore the historical fact that these very claims have led to dozens of competing organizations, each asserting their version of Smith’s...

Why Mormonism's "Restoration" Is a Denial of Biblical Christianity

It’s common to hear members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) say they’re Christians just like anyone else who follows Jesus. They believe in His atonement, His resurrection, His teachings. And they’re sincere in saying so. But sincerity isn’t the same thing as truth. When you really dig into what Mormonism teaches—especially about who God is, what salvation means, and the authority of Scripture—it becomes clear that this religion, while borrowing Christian language, ultimately denies the core of biblical Christianity. According to official LDS doctrine, all of Christianity fell into total apostasy after the death of the original apostles. That’s right—every church, every tradition, every believer was supposedly misled for nearly two thousand years until Joseph Smith restored the “true church” in 1830. That claim isn’t just historically implausible—it’s theologically offensive. Jesus Himself said in Matthew 16:18 (NLT), “I will build my church, and all the powers...
