“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;” – 1 Timothy 4:1
THE GROTESQUE MORMON CULT accompanies the occultic imagery and esoteric customs of the dark societies from which it was extracted with a host of strange doctrines nearly too outlandish to be described. It teaches that gods were once men, that man can become gods, that those who best perpetuate the cult doctrines will be as gods in eternity, with planets for their personal domain and wives for their personal pleasure. But beyond the unfruitful works of darkness and bizarre traditions of men which personify this freakish cult, there stands the most egregious of their falsehoods: an accursed false gospel.
For beyond the maniacal babbling of men becoming gods, and the deviant weirdness of eternal polygamous kingdoms, and the occultic darkness of necromantic rituals and Satanic symbols, the false gospel of the Mormon cult is doubtless its most destructive feature. We who contend for the faith do well to grapple with the doctrines of devils they espouse – believing in multitudes of gods, promoting the idiotic fables of the Book of Mormon as fact, insisting that Jesus is not the only begotten Son of God – but if we do not expose their demonic false gospel, what ultimately do we accomplish? You may convince a Mormon cultist to alter his views on these above subjects, but if he retains his wrong notions of salvation, what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Before I go further, I must declare that, however vehemently the shameful ecumenical movement may insist that Mormons are “Christians”, they are nothing of the kind. How can they be “Christians”, when they reference the deranged Book of Mormon over the King James Bible? How can they be “Christians”, when they believe that there are many worlds ruled by many gods? How can they be “Christians”, when they believe baptism and obedience to Mormon cult doctrine are necessary for salvation? Whether compromisers and heretics like Joel Osteen and Ravi Zacharias will admit it, or not, and whether the Mormon cult will accept it, or not, those who deny Jesus is the Christ are liars and antichrists (1 John 2:22), not Christians. If a demented, heathen cult like Mormonism can be classified as a type of “Christianity”, the term loses all distinction and meaning.
The Mormon “plan of salvation” is only partially based upon Jesus Christ dying for your sins, being buried, and bodily resurrecting three days later, because the individual is expected to also obey Mormon cult doctrine for the rest of his life and hope his behavior earns him eternal life. This change of lifestyle is falsely defined as “repentance” by the Mormon cult, as it is falsely defined as “repentance” by false teachers like John MacArthur – an insidious claim that “your actions during mortality influence your eternal destiny.”

As an aside, I find it interesting the Platonic concept of a “premortal life” is mentioned in this weird presentation; apparently, the Mormon cult borrows its “theology” not only from Islam and Freemasonry, but from Plato as well. Notwithstanding these things, their gospel is not the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth, because it stipulates human reformation and works of righteousness as necessary to salvation. The clear corollary is, that if you fail to suitably obey the farcical Book of Mormon (which this webpage has humorously designated as “the Lord’s commandments, ordinances, covenants, and doctrines”), you will not receive eternal life.
But what saith the scripture? How does this doctrine of salvation by works compare with the word of God – not the moronic Book of Mormon, but the pure, inspired, preserved King James Bibe? I will cite you the timeless syllables of Ephesians 2:8-9:
“For by grace are ye saved through faith: and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
Romans 4:5: “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.”
Galatians 2:16: “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.”
Titus 3:5: “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and the renewing of the Holy Ghost;”
Isaiah 64:6: “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.”
1 Peter 1:5: “Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”
The Word of God affirms that salvation is not a reward, an exchange, or a reformation, but an act of regeneration wrought by the spirit of God in response to a man’s faith in Jesus Christ. All of the good works in the world can never justify a man before God, because only the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ – which he imputes to those who believe on him – can justify him (Romans 3:22). His good works cannot wash away his sins, because only the blood of Jesus Christ can wash away sins (1 Peter 1:18-19). The Mormon cult errs as all religion and manmade doctrine is bound to err, in demanding a man do something to earn a salvation that cannot be earned, because it cannot be by faith and works (Romans 11:6). How a man lives his life has absolutely nothing to do with his eternal destiny, because salvation is a free gift (Romans 5:15-18).
CONCLUSION
Ultimately, you must decide for yourself who you will believe. Which, dear reader? Will you believe God, who cannot lie (Titus 1:2, Hebrews 6:18), when he says that salvation can be obtained only by receiving his only begotten Son as Savior (John 1:12)? Or will you believe a deranged cult of religious maniacs and polygamous freaks who believe in magic underwear and blood oaths and eternal planets ruled by god-men with multitudes of wives? Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, who was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin (Hebrews 4:15), or Joseph Smith, an occultic polygamist who corrupted the word of truth and dealt in necromancy? The King James Bible, which is truth (John 17:17), or the Book Mormon, which is false? I pray that you choose wisely, for your eternal destiny does not depend upon how you live your life, but on whether or not you trust Jesus Christ as your Savior.
