Russell M. Nelson draws a line in the sand over “LDS” and “Mormon” describing his church and people

The president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints–the official title of the largest Mormon splinter group in the world–has declared that there are certain terms that should not be used to describe his church and the 16 million people who follow this religion. He insists that words such as “LDS,” “Mormon,” and “Mormonism” should no longer be used and claims that this mandate came directly from the “Lord” himself. What are we as Evangelical Christians supposed to do? Find out here and listen to Bill McKeever’s interview on August 17th on Issues Etc. by clicking here.

The Boasts of Joseph

The founder of Mormonism, Joseph Smith, once said that “the followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet.” He along with other prominent LDS leaders have made a number of additional claims that border on the blasphemous. Were these claims really made? Or are Smith’s enemies making these things up. Read this article here.

Why do some Mormons become atheists?

The question as to why some Mormons become atheist is being asked as many Latter-day Saints are leaving their church. But just because Mormonism isn’t true does not mean that God doesn’t exist, that Jesus didn’t come to save His people from their sins, and that there is no such a thing as ultimate truth.

10 LDS Hymns that should be deleted in the next Mormon hymnbook

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced in June 2018 that the church hymnbook will be revised in the next few years. Among other things, the church claims the revision will “fill doctrinal gaps.” And church members are being asked to provide feedback for suggested changes. If this church really wants to say it is “Christian,” as it does on different LDS websites, then MRM’s Eric Johnson lists 10 hymns in the current hymnbook that ought to be eliminated. Click here.

How important is the Trinity in Christianity?trinity

To that question, we believe that accepting the Trinity is a cornerstone of the biblical Christian church. Unfortunately, Mormonism’s leaders have not only denied this belief but even mocked it. So just what is the Trinity? Is the teaching even understandable? Check out our new page that offers articles, YouTube videos, blogs, and podcasts. If the Trinity is true, it needs to be defended by the Christian who has questioning friends and neighbors. Click here to see what’s available.
