Joseph Smith has pulled the biggest sham in world history and I am calling the heiarchy to return to the Bible and the real Jesus Christ of that book alone. You could do it if you put away pride and deceit. I have read the Book of Mormon a number of times and prayed that the Holy Spirit reveal the truth of the Book of Mormon and the LDS church and He has resoundly convinced me that the writings are nothing more than a fabrication by a man that was serving his own purposes, for which it cost Joseph Smith his life, as well as many others.
The LDS church says that it teaches truth and that it only teaches truth. I beg to differ. Here is one flagerant lie that you have to deal with. You say you can become Gods and Goddesses, well look in you Bible with me in Isaiah 43:10 and then look at the 10 commandments! What do you think it means? It means that you have been told a lie, and the father of lies is the Devil himself, and who has pulled this sham on your church? Joseph Smith and the rest of the peope who preach this. Where do you want to stand, with Joseph Smith or Jesus Christ of the Bible?---My response to a Mormon
