All I Possess

Leaving behind false traditions in search of the true Jesus

  • The Veil Separates us From God

    As I began to question the church, find answers, and distance myself, I wore my garments for as long as possible. I even stopped attending Mormon church and went to my new Christian church wearing garments under my jeans. I was trying to be cohesive with my friends. I was trying to please my husband Continue reading

  • New Creatures in Christ: Covenants, Baptism, and Works

    There are 3 very important distinctions between the Christian gospel and the LDS doctrine, found in Mosiah 5:1-10 and ironically taught in favor of the Christians, not the Mormons! The first distinction I need to explain is that good works come as a result of salvation, not of our own effort in order to be Continue reading

  • Tell Me Lies, Tell Me Sweet Little Lies

    A few weeks ago I wrote about feelings. This claim was entirely new to me, that Mormons base their doctrines and convictions on feelings. It took some time for me to understand. I still think we all, Mormons and Christians alike, base our testimony and relationships with God on personal experiences including emotional experiences. But Continue reading

  • Intentional Sabotage?

    I’ve heard some ex-Mormons say, I wonder if the church is self-destructing on purpose? They put out these “gospel topics essays” about other materials that now expose some awful, messed up stuff! (or at least expose the fact that the stories we were told growing up aren’t the prevailing narrative anymore, which is suspicious in Continue reading

  • Confessions of a Recovering Health Nut

    Mormons have a health code called the “Word of Wisdom,” found in D&C 89. This is where the idea comes from not to use tobacco, alcohol, coffee and tea. (There’s a lot to say about that interpretation and when it became a “commandment,” but that’s not my purpose today.) For a good chunk of my Continue reading

  • Forcing My Hand

    When I was 16 years old, I had a boyfriend I totally adored. But when I cut my hair into a pixie style, he suddenly stopped talking to me. A couple weeks went by. He was ignoring me. We drifted apart. Finally, I called him and broke up with him. He was devastated. Confusing. Who Continue reading

  • Are Mormons Christian?

    Wow! Just watch this video. This is so good! You can see how blasphemous it is for Mormons to claim to be the same religion as Christians. It’s completely different. (On an individual basis, I do believe some members of the LDS church are Christians. In their heart. But they don’t understand Christian doctrine.) Somebody Continue reading

  • How Did Jesus Create?

    A few days ago, I posed the question “What did Jesus create?” and today I’d like to discuss how. In LDS theology, God cannot create out of nothing. He reorganized the elements to bring forth new “creations.” He only creates the way a sculptor or painter would create: by taking existing materials and then using Continue reading

  • Taking the Lord’s Name in Vain

    As I learned more about the “true Jesus” compared to what the Mormon church teaches, and how blasphemous it is to make Him small, relatable, just the same generation as us, with all the same potential as us …. (Need I say more?) ….It became very clear to me that the name of the LDS Continue reading

  • Bodies Celestial and Bodies Terrestrial

    Today we have another example of how Mormons love to cherry-pick random verses in the Bible to “back up” their position, taking them entirely out of context. 1 Corinthians 15 is about the resurrection. Paul is explaining how there’s a certain type of body for humans, and how the glorified version will be so much Continue reading
