Mockery Before God: Those Who Died Without a Knowledge of Christ
I will never cease to be amazed at all the scriptures in the Book of Mormon that preach against Mormons. It’s like God planned it all out in advance, and made sure these truths were in the book they would be holding. I can’t believe I’ve read this book several times, and taught from it,… Continue reading

Priesthood Power…or Lack Thereof
Where was the “Priesthood” in 2020? You know, the “power and authority of God” that supposedly has the power to heal? (If not that, then at least to stand boldly against the deceptions of man and the corruptions of government?) But seriously. Show me once when Jesus stood 6 feet from a leper or an… Continue reading

I, I am the Lord’s
The Book of Mormon has many passages about judgment. They are all in agreement with each other — and none of them agree with modern LDS church doctrine. In the Book of Mormon it is taught that the righteous go to heaven and the wicked go to hell. (Check it out yourself — Mosiah 15:26-27;… Continue reading

The Great Before & After
This post is the third in the series of posts that all go together. The first was about salvation for the underprivileged, and how the condition of the heart is more important than a show of righteousness. The second was about salvation outside the Law of Moses; how all men are invited to be Children… Continue reading

Circumcision is Done Away
This post is second in a series that all go together. The first was about salvation for the underprivileged, and how the condition of the heart is more important than a show of righteousness. Now let’s talk about salvation for two groups of people — those who came from The Law and those who didn’t.… Continue reading

The Last Shall Be First
Here’s another Bible verse taken out of context. “The first shall be last and the last shall be first.” (Matt 19:30 and 20:16) Mormons conflate this verse with Romans 1:16 and make it about the order the gospel was and will be given to different people of the world. So, in the latter times the… Continue reading

The Song of the Siren: Shame
Feeling some surprising things today, a range of things. My husband made his post yesterday and I went to bed feeling weird. I had this sense of “wait, are we really doing this?” A part of me was just messing around. But if it’s both of us….is this for real? Earlier in the day he… Continue reading

Teams and Jerseys
Last month I posted about getting along with other Christians, and what I’ve experienced as a Mormon when others were suspicious of me. I’ve been thinking more about this. Are Mormons and Christians really at odds? Jeff at Hello Saints (actually I don’t remember if it was Jeff himself or a guest on his Summit)… Continue reading

The Spouse’s Perspective
If you prefer to listen instead, a conversation covering much of the same narrative can be found here: Hey there, A’s husband here. After reading her Untangling post the other day, I asked if I could add a guest post giving additional context and perspective. So here we go. As my wife mentioned in her… Continue reading

I Owe it All to Jesus
This is one of the songs that really struck me when I started attending The Well. My first few weeks, I was open to feeling but I was mostly thinking. I would watch the words on the screen and think seriously about the lyrics — because these lyrics are pretty different from the hymns I’m… Continue reading
