Mormon leadership has, for several years now, launched a new shift in their public dealings and their missionary message. Rather than their being Christian, they are now pushing more and more toward being the ONLY true Christians who hold to the truth.

  1. “God is the source of all truth. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter‑day Saints embraces all truth that God conveys to His children.” — President Russell M. Nelson, “What Is True?,” October 2022 General Conference. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
  2. “True disciples of Jesus Christ are willing to stand out, speak up and be different from the people of the world. They are undaunted, devoted and courageous.” — President Russell M. Nelson, April 2017 General Conference (reiterated in later addresses). Church News
  3. “If we really want to be valiant disciples of Christ, we will find a way. Otherwise, the adversary offers enticing alternatives. But as faithful disciples, ‘we need not apologize for our beliefs nor back down from that which we know to be true.’” — Elder Jörg Klebingat, “Valiant Discipleship in the Latter Days,” April 2022 General Conference. Church News
  4. “To be a follower of Jesus Christ, one must sometimes carry a burden… A true Christian cannot follow the Master only in those matters with which he or she agrees. No. We follow Him everywhere, including, if necessary, into arenas filled with tears and trouble, where sometimes we may stand very much alone.” — Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, “Lifted Up upon the Cross,” October 2022 General Conference. Church News
  5. “Ask your Heavenly Father if we truly are the Lord’s apostles and prophets. Ask if we have received revelation on this and other matters.” — President Russell M. Nelson, “The Love and Laws of God,” BYU devotional, September 17, 2019 (reinforces restoration and prophetic authority themes reiterated since). BYU

This very recent religion of Joseph Smith's creation, laying claim to being the sole source of truth, rings very hollow. The belief that the Lord would allow His truth to become corrupted and thus not restoring it until more than 1800 years after Christ's ascension, that only increasers the echoes of the hollowness within their claims. They are painting portraiture of God that is on the level of a scoundrel.

The Bible says what is absolutely contrary to the false claims from within Mormonism:

  • Matthew 5:18 — Jesus: “For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.”
    • Used to argue Jesus affirmed the enduring validity/preservation of the Mosaic Law and its details.
  • Matthew 24:35 / Mark 13:31 / Luke 21:33 — Jesus: “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.”
    • Read as a promise that Jesus’ teaching endures.
  • Isaiah 40:8 — “The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God will stand forever.”
    • Psalms and Prophets (e.g., Psalm 12:6–7) have similar language about God’s words or promises enduring.
  • Psalm 12:6–7 — “The words of the Lord are pure words... You, O LORD, will keep them; you will guard us from this generation forever.”
    • Interpreted by some as a divine promise to protect God’s words or faithful remnant.
  • Proverbs 30:5–6 — “Every word of God proves true... Do not add to his words.”
    • Cited as affirmation of the trustworthiness and finality of God’s words.
The above verses, among others, are the motivation behind the Mormon claim of the Bible itself allegedly having become corrupt even though they have nothing against which to gauge that claim for proof. They do not possess the original autographs, even though there are copies of the originals close enough to the existence of those writings to show the mathematical impossibilities behind their false claims.

Their leadership is pathetically inept.

I don't think this is new, though. It was proclaimed by Joseph Smith and has been in their Doctrines & Covenants since the early 1800's. A cult's gotta cult.

True, but they are now being more public about their departures from pop Christianity. Before, they were always very careful about trying to sound just like any Protestant Christian, but now they are speaking more boldly and openly about their beliefs like never before.

Mormonism is very deceptive because it gives to the public an external image of family and community values, and a conservative clear cut approach to life.
 
They're a bunch of clowns..

Whenever I see these clowns in their white shirts and black ties, I always tell them :

"You are of your Father, The Devil"

They always look so SHOCKED.

It's fun.. Try it !

What's fun about that? Treat people with kindness and explain the gospel.

Tit 3:3 At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy.
 
The Mormons need the REAL Jesus rather than the one created in the mind of their founding, false prophet.
