Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mormonism Refuted in the Light of Scripture and History: A Testimony to the Historical Church Hundreds of Mormon missionaries are at this time spread over all the United States. Nor are they without success in gathering recruits. Not only in Utah, but in parts of Idaho, Wyoming and Arizona there is a large Mormon population with preponderant control. At this writing, a polygamous Mormon is endeavoring to gain admittance to Congress. The Mormon question is evidently a living question. Pastors of all denominations are asking how they may meet the arguments which are being pressed upon their parishioners. Many laymen are perplexed over the plausible tenets of the Mormon faith as presented by its ubiquitous missionaries. There is, therefore, an urgent need of a clear presentation of the matter by one who by experience and ability is fitted for the task. Such a man I conceive the author of this volume to be. As the reader is entitled to know something of the man who has penned the following pages, I cheerfully commend him as a gentleman of earnest piety; and the fact of being a communicant member of an orthodox church, rather than a "free lance," will not lessen the weight of his message. That Mormonism, in its conception of God, is essentially pantheistic, will be a revelation to many; and the contrasts drawn between the Mormon and the historical Church gives the reader the best and most helpful point of view. In brief, the book is deserving of its title, "Mormonism Refuted," and it gives me much pleasure to commend it. May God make the publication useful in the promulgation of the truth.

Some of the Claims of Mormonism Examined. The Claim that the Historical Church Rejects the Spirit of Prophecy and Miracles. The Christian Church has never taught that there was no more need of prophets; on the contrary, it teaches that the spirit of prophecy is general in proportion as the individual is conscious of God and filled with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit, knowing all the past and all the future, makes clear to the consciousness of the Church these things, in proportion to the receptibility of the believers. The historical Church, then, is not dependent upon any single man for its prophetic vision. The day of Pentecost passed, the Holy Spirit poured out, every believer is entitled to enjoy the great visions of the future, if he will only live and become absorbed in the idea of the new creation, --live in the dispensation of the Holy Spirit; as the great apostle says: "Desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy" (I Cor. 14: 1). The very fact, as stated by Orson Pratt in " Divine Authority," page 14, that miraculous evidence is not infallible, is the best argument why the Christian Church should not, and can not, rest upon carnal miracles; and that while everything is possible to him who has sufficient faith, the Church must, and can, exist without carnal miracles being an essential part of it. The claim of Mormonism, that the historical Church rejects prophesy and miracles, is a manufactured and-fase accusation. Upon such sweeping, but unproven, statements Mormonism builds a defense that is made to appear plausible to everyone who is not in the closest touch with Christian consciousness in history. Its claim, for instance, that the Christian CLAIMS OF MORMONISM EXAMINED. 23 Church does not believe in...

Download or read book The Pearl of Greatest Price written by Terryl Givens and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-04 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pearl of Greatest Price narrates the history of Mormonism's fourth volume of scripture, canonized in 1880. The authors track its predecessors, describe its several components, and assess their theological significance within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Four principal sections are discussed, along with attendant controversies associated with each. The Book of Moses purports to be a Mosaic narrative missing from the biblical version of Genesis. Too little treated in the scholarship on Mormonism, these chapters, produced only months after the Book of Mormon was published, actually contain the theological nucleus of Latter-day Saint doctrines as well as a virtual template for the Restoration Joseph Smith was to effect. In The Pearl of Greatest Price, the author covers three principal parts that are the focus of many of the controversies engulfing Mormonism today. These parts are The Book of Abraham, The Book of Moses, and The Joseph Smith History. Most controversial of all is the Book of Abraham, a production that arose out of a group of papyri Smith acquired, along with four mummies, in 1835. Most of the papyri disappeared in the great Chicago Fire, but surviving fragments have been identified as Egyptian funerary documents. This has created one of the most serious challenges to Smith's prophetic claims the LDS church has faced. LDS scholars, however, have developed several frameworks for vindicating the inspiration of the resulting narrative and Smith's calling as a prophet. The author attempts to make sense of Smith's several, at times divergent, accounts of his First Vision, one of which is canonized as scripture. He also assesses the creedal nature of Smith's "Articles of Faith," in the context of his professed anti-creedalism. In sum, this study chronicles the volume's historical legacy and theological indispensability to the Latter-day Saint tradition, as well as the reasons for its resilience and future prospects in the face of daunting challenges.

Download or read book Cold Case Christianity written by J. Warner Wallace and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.

(6) Columns for Discount on Purchases and Discount on Notes on the same side of the Cash Book; (c) Columns for Discount on Sales and Cash Sales on the debit side of the Cash Book; (d) Departmental columns in the Sales Book and in the Purchase Book. Controlling Accounts.--The addition of special columns in books of original entry makes possible the keeping of Controlling Accounts. The most common examples of such accounts are Accounts Receivable account and Accounts Payable account. These summary accounts, respectively, displace individual customers' and creditors' accounts in the Ledger. The customers' accounts are then segregated in another book called the Sales Ledger or Customers' Ledger, while the creditors' accounts are kept in the Purchase or Creditors' Ledger. The original Ledger, now much reduced in size, is called the General Ledger. The Trial Balance now refers to the accounts in the General Ledger. It is evident that the task of taking a Trial Balance is greatly simplified because so many fewer accounts are involved. A Schedule of Accounts Receivable is then prepared, consisting of the balances found in the Sales Ledger, and its total must agree with the balance of the Accounts Receivable account shown in the Trial Balance. A similar Schedule of Accounts Payable, made up of all the balances in the Purchase Ledger, is prepared, and it must agree with the balance of the Accounts Payable account of the General Ledger." The Balance Sheet.--In the more elementary part of the text, the student learned how to prepare a Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the purpose of disclosing the net capital of an enterprise. In the present chapter he was shown how to prepare a similar statement, the Balance Sheet. For all practical...

Download or read book Weakness Is the Way written by J. I. Packer and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people think of weakness as purely negative, but true Christianity embraces weakness as a way of life. In this collection of meditations on 2 Corinthians, renowned Bible scholar and theologian J. I. Packer reflects on the central importance of weakness for the Christian life. He exhorts readers to look to Christ for strength, affirmation, and contentment in the midst of their own sin and frailty. Now in his mid-eighties, Packer mediates on the truths of Scripture with pastoral warmth and exegetical care, drawing on lessons learned from the experience of growing older and coming face-to-face with his own mortality. Overflowing with wisdom gleaned from a life of obedience to Christ and dependence on his Word, this encouraging book ultimately directs readers to the God who promises to be ever-present and all-sufficient.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mormonism Exposed and Refuted: Or True and False Religion Contrasted Forty Years Experience and Observation, Among the Mormons Mormonism, as an institution of religion, is either true or false. Such is its nature, or character, that it is, in the absolute sense, either of God or of Satan. It claims for itself to be strictly of God, and Joseph Smith, its founder, in 1825, claims to have received direct revelations from God to institute and establish a new and distinct religion, to be observed by all mankind as the only divine, God-acknowledged system of religion upon the earth. Smith also claims that angels frequently appeared to him, and directed him to institute what is commonly called the Mormon religion. Hence, he declares that all other forms of religion extant are but of human origin, and are false. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the author of Into the Wild and Into Thin Air, this extraordinary work of investigative journalism takes readers inside America’s isolated Mormon Fundamentalist communities. • Now an acclaimed FX limited series streaming on HULU. “Fantastic.... Right up there with In Cold Blood and The Executioner’s Song.” —San Francisco Chronicle Defying both civil authorities and the Mormon establishment in Salt Lake City, the renegade leaders of these Taliban-like theocracies are zealots who answer only to God; some 40,000 people still practice polygamy in these communities. At the core of Krakauer’s book are brothers Ron and Dan Lafferty, who insist they received a commandment from God to kill a blameless woman and her baby girl. Beginning with a meticulously researched account of this appalling double murder, Krakauer constructs a multi-layered, bone-chilling narrative of messianic delusion, polygamy, savage violence, and unyielding faith. Along the way he uncovers a shadowy offshoot of America’s fastest growing religion, and raises provocative questions about the nature of religious belief.
