Lifting The Veil

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...

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...

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 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...

In the early 1840s, the Mormon community in Nauvoo, Illinois, tried to protect itself by forming the Nauvoo Legion—a militia under the command of Joseph Smith, who was not only their spiritual leader but also the city’s mayor. While self-defense is understandable, the way the Mormons wielded this power crossed lines and escalated tensions with their neighbors, ultimately leading to violent conflict and tragedy. The Nauvoo Legion was far more than a simple militia. It was one of the largest and best-armed in Illinois, effectively serving as a private army loyal to Joseph Smith and his followers. This blend of religious, political, and military authority gave the Mormons outsized control over Nauvoo and bred fear among non-Mormons. Many outsiders saw the Mormon leadership as authoritarian, using their power to impose their beliefs and silence opposition. A clear example of this misuse of power was the destruction of the Nauvoo Expositor printing press in 1844. The newspaper had published...

I know many in the Mormon faith emphasize that God the Father has a physical body and specific gender. From a biblical Christian perspective, we also call God “Father” because that’s how Jesus revealed Him to us—not necessarily to define God’s gender, but to show His relationship to us. The Bible teaches that God is spirit (John 4:24), beyond human limitations like gender or physical form. When Jesus taught His followers to pray, He said, “Our Father in heaven...” (Matthew 6:9), inviting us into a personal and intimate relationship with God. This isn’t just about a title—it’s about God’s loving, caring role as our Creator and Protector. In the Old Testament, God is called Father because He made Israel and cares for them like a parent cares for their children (Deuteronomy 32:6, Isaiah 63:16). Jesus calls God Father to show us that same closeness and trust. The New Testament goes further by showing that through Jesus, we are adopted into God’s family and can call Him “Abba, Father” (Roma...

The question of salvation is indeed central to Christianity, and it is true that various Christian traditions differ on how salvation is received. However, when examining the core teachings of Scripture, there are essential truths that transcend denominational debates and provide a firm foundation for understanding salvation through Jesus Christ. First, salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, not by any human ordinance or ritual, though God’s ordained means often include such ordinances. Ephesians 2:8-9 (NLT) declares, “God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast.” This clearly teaches salvation is a gift from God, received by faith, not earned by baptism or any other act. Baptism is important as a public declaration of faith and obedience to Christ (Matthew 28:19-20). Jesus Himself was baptized (Matthew 3:13-17), and the ea...
