Thankful For Hard Times
“Does Molly know I wear clothes?” my daughter tentatively asks me, with trepidation on her face. “Yes. Remember? We saw her at that potluck a few weeks ago.” “I don’t know.” Conversations you never thought you’d be having with your kid. Then there’s the time we snuck dog urine pads into a social event so Continue reading

That They May Always Have His Spirit to be With Them
In a class I attended, Christian beliefs were being presented “in contrast” to Mormon beliefs, which gets kind of confusing when they believe the same thing, but they’re trying to make it sound like it’s different and Christians are better. Mormons: the gift of the Holy Ghost makes it so you can always have the Continue reading

Does the Book of Mormon Teach Mormonism?
This is the title of a great episode on the Clairity podcast. Finally! Someone points out all these things I’ve been catching myself! As it turns out, the Book of Mormon really does not teach Mormonism (meaning the Mormon church). The book and the institution are not a match. And the other branches of Mormonism Continue reading

Deny Yourself of all Ungodliness
“As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.” (1Peter 1:14-16)” This is a Bible verse calling us out of our Continue reading

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
