MORMONISM

“I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it.”

MORMONISM “I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet.” Joseph Smith History of the Church vol. 6, p

MORMONISM Tactics in conversing with and evangelizing members of the LDS church  Using the BOM  Using the Scriptures

MORMONISM Using the BOM 1. Changes in the BOM 2. Plagiarism in the BOM 3. Biblical teachings found in the BOM that contradict present-day Mormon beliefs

MORMONISM 1. Since its original publication in 1830, the BOM has undergone over 4,000 changes- many of which include major doctrinal changes.

Verse1830 VersionToday’s Version 1 Nephi 11:21 “And the angel said unto me, Behold the Lamb of God, yea, even the eternal Father” “And the angel said unto me, Behold the Lamb of God, yea, even the son of the eternal Father”

Verse1830 VersionToday’s Version Mosiah 21:28 “King Benjamin had a gift from God, whereby he could interpret such engravings” “King Mosiah had a gift from God, whereby he could interpret such engravings”

Verse1830 VersionToday’s Version 2 Nephi 12:9 “And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself not” “And the mean man boweth not down, and the great man humbleth himself not”

Verse1830 VersionToday’s Version 1 Nephi 20:1 “O house of Jacob, which are called out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the Lord“ “O house of Jacob, which are called out of the waters of Judah, or out of the waters of baptism, which swear by the name of the Lord"

Verse1830 VersionToday’s Version 2 Nephi 30:6 “and many generations shall not pass away among them, save they shall be a white and delightsome people” “and many generations shall not pass away among them, save they shall be a pure and delightsome people”

MORMONISM 2. The BOM contains over 27,000 words taken directly out of the King James Version of the Bible, including whole chapters lifted out of Isaiah (even the italicized words were copied).

MORMONISM 2. If the BOM contains events that took place between 600 B.C. And 421 A.D., how could it contain extensive quotations from a version of the Bible that was not penned until 1611 A.D.?

MORMONISM 3. Several teachings found in the BOM are not followed in present- day Mormonism, but are very similar to doctrines found within the Scriptures.

DoctrineBOM reference Only one God 2 Nephi 31:21; Mosiah 15:1-5; Alma 11:28-29 God is unchanging Alma 41:8; 3 Nephi 24:6; Mormon 9:9,19; Moroni 8:18 God is a spiritAlma 18:24-28, 22:9-11 Jesus Christ is God 2 Nephi 10:3; Mosiah 13:34-35, 15:1-5 Polygamy condemned Jacob 1:15, 2:23-31, 3:5; Mosiah 11:2-4; Ether 10:5-7

MORMONISM Conclusion: One could argue that the BOM does not truly represent modern- day Mormonism!

MORMONISM Using the Scriptures 1. Basic tactics 2. Scripture passages

MORMONISM 2. Scripture passages  the issue of relying on the Mormon “testimony” Proverbs 14:12 Jeremiah 17:9 Isaiah 40:8

MORMONISM 2. Scripture passages  the absence of a “great falling away” Matthew 16:18 Matthew 28:18-20 Ephesians 3:21

MORMONISM 2. Scripture passages  the marks of a true prophet Deuteronomy 18:20-22 Galatians 1:8-9 Ephesians 2:20 (context of James 1:5)

MORMONISM 2. Scripture passages  the sufficiency of the Scriptures 2 Timothy 3:15 Revelation 22:18-19

MORMONISM 2. Scripture passages  the truth about the person of God Numbers 23:19 Hosea 11:9 Psalm 90:2 John 4:24

MORMONISM 2. Scripture passages  the truth about salvation Romans 3:28 Galatians 2:16 Ephesians 2:8-9 Titus 3:5
