God Doesn’t Need Our Help—Stop Adding to His Word

To all Mormons—and to anyone who thinks they can improve on God’s Word—hear me out. The Bible is sufficient. It is complete. It is enough. God does not need any man-made religions, cults, or human inventions to “help” Him out. He has revealed Himself fully, clearly, and perfectly through His Word, His creation, His Spirit, and His Son, Jesus Christ. Some people think adding new scripture, new rules, or modern revelations somehow improves upon God’s plan. Let me be clear: that is a dangerous path. It’s the road of every extra-biblical, man-made religion—whether Mormonism, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Scientology, Christian Science, Islam, or any other system that tries to insert itself between you and God. These are human inventions. They do not give you God. They give you confusion, more rules, and false hope. God has already provided everything we need to know Him. Jesus Christ is the final Word, the living Word, the ultimate revelation. Adding to that is not guidance—it’s rebellion. It’s twi...

When Falsehood Masquerades as Faith: A Direct Challenge to the LDS Church

Let’s be perfectly clear: claiming moral or spiritual superiority because of warm feelings toward every religion is not only misleading—it is spiritually dangerous. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) presents itself as tolerant and universally benevolent, but tolerance without truth is moral relativism. Warmth toward error is not love; it is deception. Scripture repeatedly warns that the world hates Christ and His followers because of truth, not because of coldness (John 15:18). If friendliness toward falsehood were proof of holiness, the Bible itself would be irrelevant—and that is the lie the LDS Church propagates. The Book of Mormon presents itself as a “second testament” of Jesus Christ, claiming equal authority with the Bible (Mosiah 18:9). This is blasphemous. The Bible is clear: God’s Word is complete, sufficient, and final. Deuteronomy 4:2 commands, “You must not add anything to what I command you or take anything away from it.” Revelation 22:18–19 repeats th...

The Book of Mormon vs. God's Word – A Biblical Reality Check

In the world of spiritual claims, few are as audacious—and dangerously misleading—as the assertion that the Book of Mormon is necessary to complete God's Word. Let's be crystal clear: this is not faith, humility, or divine insight. It is human hubris masquerading as revelation. And it is time someone called it exactly what it is: false, unverified, and unnecessary. Some argue that rejecting the Book of Mormon proves a lack of humility or faith. Nonsense. True faith is obedience to God's Word, not devotion to a man-made text. 1 John 4:1 warns us: "Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world." Rejecting fabricated claims is not pride; it is spiritual discernment. For over 1,600 years, Christians preserved the biblical canon, rigorously testing every claim of revelation. No one waited for a 19th-century "restoration"...

The Mormon Church’s Dangerous Claim to Be the Only True Church

The LDS Church claims it is “the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth” (Doctrine and Covenants 1:30) and teaches that “all men must come unto this church or be damned” (McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, p. 136). That’s not a casual statement—it’s a bold, dangerous claim. By saying this, the Church places itself above Christ, above the Bible, and above every faithful Christian who has followed God for centuries. But the Bible is clear: God alone has ultimate authority. Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). Salvation is through Christ alone—not any human institution. Paul tells us in 2 Timothy 3:16–17 that “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” The Bible alone is sufficient for faith, doctrine, and living a righteous life (Grudem, 1994; E...

Mormon Persecution Claims: A Christian Analysis

The claims made by some members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) regarding their persecution, both historically and in modern times, warrant careful analysis. While it is historically accurate that early Latter-day Saints faced real hardship and hostility, particularly in Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois, some contemporary claims of persecution are often exaggerated or misrepresented. Historically, the 1838 Missouri Extermination Order did indeed declare that Mormons must be “exterminated or driven from the state,” and it was not formally rescinded until 1976 (Church History Topics: Extermination Order). This decree arose in the context of violent conflicts between settlers and Mormon communities in Missouri. Hostilities escalated due to economic, political, and religious tensions, including the fear of Mormon political consolidation and armed militias. The forced exodus of Mormons from Missouri and Illinois, culminating in the migration to Utah, was tragic but must...
