Lifting The Veil

When the differences between Mormonism and historic biblical Christianity are examined carefully, the disagreement goes far beyond different traditions, worship styles, or interpretations of secondary doctrines. At the heart of the matter are fundamentally different teachings about who God is, who Jesus Christ is, what Scripture is, how salvation is received, and what the gospel actually means. Those are not minor differences, because the answers to those questions determine what kind of God we worship and what kind of hope we place in Christ. This is why Christians should approach the subject seriously but also with love. Mormons are not being criticized because they are insincere or because they do not care about Jesus. Many sincerely believe that they are following Him, and many live lives marked by admirable qualities such as family devotion, moral discipline, service, and religious commitment. Sincerity, however, does not establish the truth of a doctrine. The question that ultima...

The Doctrine of “Christ Alone” Is Not Up for Negotiation The LDS Apologetics attempt to engage with the doctrine of Sola Christus is not merely a misunderstanding of Reformation theology—it is a distortion of the Gospel itself. In their treatment of Sola Christus, they affirm Christ in name while subtly eroding the sufficiency and exclusivity of His work. What we are dealing with is not a mere theological difference; it is a different gospel (Galatians 1:6–9). At the heart of Sola Christus—“Christ alone”—is the biblical truth that salvation is through Christ and Christ alone, with no mediator, prophet, ordinance, or priesthood standing between God and man. As Paul writes in 1 Timothy 2:5 (NLT), “There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus.” This is a crystal-clear statement. Not one of many mediators. Not a mediating priesthood. Not a prophet with new keys. One mediator—Jesus Christ. The LDS article attempts to affirm Christ’s atonement, bu...

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...
