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

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

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

Rituals
One thing I’ve discovered is that I am not a ritual person. I was always OK with the temples, almost as an intentional defense. Like “Some people think temples are weird, but I won’t! I’ll understand it! I’ll be righteous!” I always had explanations for everything. I took pride in that. “The modern world has Continue reading

“Are You Saved?”
This is a very strange and interesting question for Mormons. Are Mormons saved? We discussed that question in the second half of this podcast episode: The short answer is, some Mormons are saved and some aren’t. Some Mormons are Christians and some aren’t. Just depends if they “get it” on a personal level or not. Continue reading

Who Will be Saved in the Celestial Kingdom?
When your 12 year old son texts you from Mormon church to double check the doctrines he’s hearing… This is not the first time my son has asked me about something or reported to me something weird he heard over the pulpit. (I’m a very proud mama. I’ve trained him well😂) People, this is the Continue reading

Eternal Life
We took our son to his first experience with the youth group at the new church tonight. Dropping him off and introducing ourselves to the staff, it just felt so safe and welcoming. The church says “Welcome Home” out front. I’ve felt at home here ever since the first time I came—-and I had no Continue reading
