Confessions of a Recovering Pharisee

I saw this banner on a website and I wondered what “Truth” The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints” has restored? There are many wonderful people who follow this false religion.  I believe they are truly looking for truth but they have been deceived.  

The first problem is they follow a false prophet.  Joseph Smith was a liar who plagiarized the Book of Mormon from the King James Version of the Bible.  No reputable archeologists can find prove that anything written by the Mormon church goes beyond the 1800’s.  They believe that Jesus and Lucifer were brothers. They believe that you can baptize people after they had died and that will save them.  The Bible says we have all been appointed once to die and then face the judgment.  

I love when Mormon “missionaries” come to my house.  I feel the longer I keep them at my home the fewer neighbors they are deceiving.  They always talk about a “burning in the bosom” that lets you know if the Mormon religion is true.  Well the “burning” could be heartburn.  

The Mormons try to pose as “Christians” by using Christian terminology and phrases.  Why in the world do they want to be considered Christian?  Just say who you are.  You are Mormons and we don’t worship the same God and we don’t have the same beliefs.  There is nothing about our faiths that are similar except we strive to live good lives.  But the difference is the LDS believe that you are good to enter into heaven. The Christian faith believes we are good because of what Jesus does in our lives.  That is a major difference.

So, to my Mormon friends, you are free to believe false teaching if you want to. But don’t pose as a Christian religion because you are not. It is time that you turn from your false “good works” religion and turn to the Grace that is offered to everyone through Jesus Christ.

A Benton County father found in contempt for violating a custody agreement that barred him from promoting Mormonism to his two sons lost his appeal at the Arkansas Court of Appeals on Wednesday. Joel Mark Rownak and Lisa Monette Rownak agreed in their 2005 divorce to raise their children “in the Protestant faith.” The decree bars them from promoting another religion without the other’s consent.

In May 2007, Benton County Circuit Judge John R. Scott found Joel Rownak in contempt of that decree based on evidence that Rownak had “candidly acknowledged” promoting the Mormon faith to his sons.

Rownak led his sons in Scripture reading and daily prayer, involved one son in Boy Scouts at a local Mormon church and had one son baptized at the church, according to an opinion written by Judge Sam Bird and agreed to by Judges John Robbins and Robert J. Gladwin.

Rownak argued the contempt finding violated his First Amendment rights, particularly the establishment clause that prohibits the state from discriminating against religion. Bird wrote that the decree was a valid contract between parties and didn’t violate Rownak’s constitutional rights. He noted that Joel Rownak had requested the language to be included in the decree.

Joel Rownak testified that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints wasn’t a Protestant faith, and the court also considered evidence to that effect from the church’s Web site.

[From me]

Well, I’ve known for some time that they aren’t Protestant.  The Mormons are nice people but they are very deceitful when it comes to their beliefs.  They want to lead people to believe they are just another denomination. But they are a false religion that was developed from a wild imagination of a liar.
