    "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever. Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings; for it is well that the heart be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited their adherents." (The Epistle of Saint Paul to the Hebrews Chapter 13:8-9; Revised Standard Version: Catholic Edition) You can bet I've read it, and have those verses framed and hanging on my bedroom wall. God Bless you.

    You are 100% right. But what I do not understand is how can you believe that and be Mormon? Because you write, "And that there is no variableness neither shadow of changing" yet Joesph Smith came up with a new gospel that is different from what God had said 1800 years earlier.

    Just wondering how you can listen to a man that says an angel.......etc when the Word of God says,

    Ga 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

    Ga 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

    It says a man or angel

    John a million:a million is a lie. It exchange into further later. between the main arguable verses of the Bible is an show connection with what some human beings evaluate the trinity, the Comma Johanneum, (a million John 5:7-8). those verses do not look in any version of the text fabric only before the 9th century, yet do look interior the King James Bible, something Isaac Newton commented on in An historic Account of two astounding Corruptions of Scripture. that's sometimes used as evidence to counter the King-James-in basic terms circulation. relating to the year 800, the Comma appeared in some texts of the Latin Vulgate, and alter into hence translated into Greek and further to later Greek manuscripts. Bart Ehrman shows in his e book Misquoting Jesus that the King James version does not have secure the passage if Desiderius Erasmus had not given in to stress to incorporate it interior the Textus Receptus even nonetheless he doubted its authenticity. maximum folk of cutting-edge translations (as an occasion New worldwide version, English familiar version and New American familiar Bible) do not incorporate this article. Albert Barnes (1798-1870) mentioned related to its authenticity: on the entire, subsequently, the evidence seems to me to be sparkling that this passage isn't a real component of the inspired writings, and should not be appealed to in evidence of the doctrine of the Trinity. Tertullian quoted those verses in two hundred advert. St Cyprian quoted those verses around the year 250. Yep, its a lie. It exchange into not even a factor of the earliest manuscripts.

    Peace to all. When the prophets teach that God is eternally the same, they are trying to teach that we can trust the Lord because he never varies his course; he always operates by law; he is no respector of persons and always bestows the same blessings as a reward for the same obediance. The prophets are trying to distinguish the true and living God from the false gods of pagan religions.

    Think of the Gods of greek mythology. The Olympions were portrayed as carnal beings who had the same attibutes as men. They lied, stole, and committed adultry as it pleased them. Compare this to the true God of Heaven who can always be trusted to be righteous and holy.

    In addition, the prophets were trying to teach that God works the same among every generation of men. His methods do not change.

    And again I speak unto you who deny the revelations of God, and say that they are done away, that there are no revelations, nor prophecies, nor gifts, nor healing, nor speaking with tongues, and the interpretation of tongues; Behold I say unto you, he that denieth these things knoweth not the gospel of Christ; yea, he has not read the scriptures; if so, he does not understand them. For do we not read that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and in him there is no variableness neither shadow of changing? And now if ye have imagined up unto yourselves a god who doth vary, and in whom there is shadow of changing, then have ye imagined up unto yourselves a god who is not God of miracles. But behold, I will show unto you a God of miracles, even the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; and it is that same God who created the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are......And who shall say that Jesus Christ did not many mighty miracles? And there were many mighty miracles wrought by the hands of the apostles. And if there were miracles wrought then, why has God ceased to be a God of miracles and yet be an unchangeable Being? And behold, I say unto you he changeth not; if so he would cease to be God; and he ceaseth not to be God, and is a God of miracle

    God was in the beginning, God is in heaven until He decides it's

    time for the End Times, and God will be there then and into

    Eternity. Isn't that wonderful news for us believers? He is

    always there for us and He'll never leave us (we can choose

    to leave Him however as we have free choice). Only He is the

    peace that passes understanding. Nothing else will bring

    about permanent peace.

    Mormonism EXPOSED!

    Compiled and edited by David J. Stewart

    Photo to Right: A Mormon apron as seen on A&E TV, inside the Salt Lake City Temple.

    Almost everyone knows to beware of the Jehovah’s Witness; but, the Mormons are different, they lure people in by claiming to be a Christian organization, and by their claim to be family oriented, and their friendly masquerade of kindness and love.   Keep in mind they only "claim" to be a Christian organization.   The reason they say this is because they think that if you believe in Christ then you are a Christian, when in fact this is not true at all, because Satan and his demons believe in Christ, but that does not make them Christians now does it.  They claim this while secretly in there doctrine the call our Christian churches the whore of Babylon, and Christian preachers, heretic disciples of Satan.  They believe that we are the occult and not them.  The Mormons are very powerful in the world today and have Power because of their wealth.  The Marriott Hotel chain is owned by the Mormon Church, and there is Mormon Literature in every room. 

    Mormons are very affluent with the dead.  They claim to be visited regularly by dead family members.  They are being deceived By demons.  They actually believe that through prayer, these people can receive salvation even in death.  They associate very much with the dead.  The Pastor of the First Satanic Church, and the author of the Satanic Bible, is Anton LaVey.  In his Satanic Bible,  LaVey lists, under "In fernal Names," one of them as "Mormo," which is the God of the living dead, and the king of the Ghouls.  The followers of Mormo, are called Mormons.  Take that and chew on it a while.  Coincidence?  I don’t think so.  The Mormon Church is the owner of the largest Genealogy center in the world, and they deal directly with the dead ancestors of the living.  Mormon missionaries have had a hard time witnessing in China, and it is not because of it’s communists rule.  It is because the word Mormon in Chinese means Gates of Hell.

    Now let me give you a little History on the Mormon Church.  In 1821 a young treasure seeker named Joseph Smith claimed to have had a vision from God.  First he said it was from Jesus, then he said from Jesus and many angels, and then he said that it was from Jesus and God the Father.  This is what they go by today.   Mormons claim that Joseph Smith was visited by Jesus and God the father; but the Bible tells us that no man can look upon the face of God and live.  He was also visited by a so-called angel named Moroni, who supposedly told him about a secret manuscript, written on golden plates, telling the true Gospel.  And that he was to translate this into the Book of Mormon.  Let me truly begin here and tell you what they believe. They believe that long ago from an unknown god ,and goddess, was born a man named Elohim who was later born to human parents, and he lived his life and became a god like his father.  He is also claimed to have fathered many children.  Two of them in particular are named: one is Jesus, and the other is Lucifer. 

    They decided to put all of Elohim’s many children on a planet, and that the planet needed a savior the bid, for it came down to Jesus and to Lucifer.  But Jesus won out because he had unselfish reasons.  But then Lucifer revolted and turned many of Elohim’s children against him, and they were banished to the earth, never to have physical bodies.  The people who were on the side of Jesus were very light skinned.  And the people who remained neutral in the battle, their skinned turned black and this is the Mormon explanation for the black race.  They believe after that battle the people were sent to Earth, and Elohim came to earth, and had sex with Mary, and that is how Jesus came to Earth.  They also believe that Jesus took three wives while on Earth: Mary, Martha, and Mary Magdalene.  They also believe that Jesus fathered many Children during his time on Earth, and that Joseph Smith their founder was a direct descendant of Jesus.  They believe that after a life of Mormonism and a Mormon marriage has taken place, that when they die they will become gods too.  They also believe that they will have their own planet, and many goddess wives, and their job for eternity will be to populate the planets.  I know how far fetched this all sounds, but these people actually believe this mess.  Mormonism is a sex cult.  And we never would have guessed any of this from those sweet family-oriented Mormon commercials on TV.  People please be aware of these dangerous occults.  These people are lost and on there way to Hell.  They desperately need Jesus.
