Lifting The Veil

In a time when spiritual deception is celebrated as “tolerance,” and every religious voice is given equal footing, it has never been more important for Christians to draw a clear line between the truth of God’s Word and the counterfeit gospels that lead to eternal destruction. Recently, I came across the story of a man whose grandfather was both a 33rd Degree Freemason and a lifelong deacon in a Baptist church. After his grandfather’s death, the man inherited books such as Morals and Dogma by Albert Pike and Mackey’s Encyclopedia of Freemasonry. The disturbing contents of those volumes left him with a painful conclusion: his grandfather either lied to the Masons or lied to the church. He could not have faithfully belonged to both. That dilemma exposes a deeper truth—one that also applies to another institution masquerading as Christian: the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), commonly known as Mormonism.

The idea that feelings of peace or joy are merely byproducts of spiritual truth—rather than the measure of it—is contradicted by the very scriptures and testimonies Mormons use to defend their faith. They assert that “the Holy Ghost provides truth to the minds of men” and then quickly follow this with passages emphasizing the burning of the heart and emotional recognition of truth.

What makes this even more problematic is the closed-loop reasoning it promotes. Moroni 10 doesn't invite you to objectively examine the Book of Mormon; it conditions your conclusion on an expected emotional outcome. You read the Book of Mormon, pray about it...
