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 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...

Why Mormon Temple Garments Are Not Biblical

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), commonly known as the Mormon Church, teaches that after a temple endowment ceremony, faithful members must wear special undergarments—known as temple garments—daily. These garments are considered sacred and symbolic, reminding wearers of the covenants they've made and offering spiritual protection. However, while these may be meaningful within the LDS context, they do not align with biblical Christianity. Nowhere in the New Testament does God command His people to wear religious clothing as a sign of spiritual standing. In fact, the New Testament radically shifts the focus from outward religious symbols to inward transformation. Paul writes in Romans 14:17 (NLT), “For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink [or wear], but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” In the Old Testament, under the Mosaic Covenant, priests did wear symbolic garments (see Exodus 28). But even those were s...
