Lifting The Veil

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 attempt to defend the LDS priesthood ban and slavery under Brigham Young by comparing them to biblical laws or suggesting they were “benevolent” misses the profound moral failures involved and falls far short of true Christian repentance and accountability. Christians must reject any justification that minimizes sin or excuses systemic injustice, no matter the era or context. First, the claim that LDS leaders have no reason to apologize for blocking Black men from the priesthood because Christian churches do not apologize for failures related to biblical commands misunderstands the gospel entirely. Jesus’ law is one of love, repentance, and restoration. When the church or its leaders sin, true Christian humility calls for confession, repentance, and seeking forgiveness. Silence or deflection is not godly. Christ’s example was to take responsibility for sin and call others to repentance, even when it was unpopular (John 8:11; 1 John 1:9). Second, the priesthood ban was a clear injus...

To justify the racist priesthood ban in the LDS Church by appealing to the Levitical priesthood or the hardness of men's hearts is not only theologically flawed—it is a direct insult to the nature and character of God, who shows no partiality (Acts 10:34–35). The argument attempts to whitewash decades of racial discrimination under the banner of supposed divine patience, while ignoring the unbiblical foundations of the ban altogether. The Levitical priesthood, as outlined in the Old Testament, was never based on race. It was based on tribal assignment, not skin color. And even then, it was part of a temporary covenant fulfilled in Christ (Hebrews 7:11–12). Once Jesus inaugurated the New Covenant, the priesthood was made spiritually accessible to all who are in Him—male, female, Jew, Gentile, Black, or white (Galatians 3:28). To compare this to the LDS priesthood ban, which was based on race, is to misapply the biblical text in a dangerous way. Jesus never established or endorsed an...

In conversations with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I have encountered arguments that reveal deep misunderstandings and dangerous distortions of biblical truth. Mormonism, far from being aligned with biblical Christianity, is a man-made religion rooted in false prophecy and unbiblical doctrines that threaten the foundation of the gospel. One commonly stated Mormon teaching is that only “a few” face eternal punishment while most receive some degree of glory, even if imperfectly. This teaching fundamentally misrepresents Scripture. Jesus plainly teaches that “many are called, but few are chosen” (Matthew 22:14, NLT) and warns, “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it” (Matthew 7:13-14). Furthermore, Revelation 20:10 describes the eternal torment of Satan, the beast, and the false prophet in the lake of fire, but it does not give Mormon-style “degrees of glory” or soften et...
