Download or read book The Truth about Mormonism written by Dennis Higley and published by . This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Berean Call is privileged to offer this revised and expanded edition of Dennis and Rauni Higley's concise but revealing investigation of their former faith, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Dennis was a sixth-generation Mormon who became an Elder's Quorum president while still in his early twenties. About a decade later, he was ordained a High Priest and called to serve on the Stake High Council. Rauni worked as a translator and language coordinator for the LDS Church for more than fourteen years and held teaching positions in both Sunday school and the Relief Society. Her privileged position allowed her to study Mormon history from many books not generally available to LDS membership, which eventually led her to share with her husband her growing concerns about discrepancies hidden by the Church. Together they launched an intensive private study of the "facts" of Mormonism with guidance from God and His Word. This ultimately led Dennis and Rauni out of the darkness and into the light. Twelve chapters include: Historical Beginnings Difficulties in the Book of Mormon Troubles in the Family Tree Archaeological Dilemmas Doctrinal Contradictions The Book of Abraham Polygamy and Adultery The Temple Ceremony Brigham Young and the Adam-God Doctrine The God and Christ of Mormonism The One True God Our Testimony This handy booklet is ideal for personal and group study, as well as for evangelism of LDS missionaries who visit your doorstep.

Download or read book The Book of Mormon written by Joe Tango and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of Mormon: The Greatest Deception of All, The Delusional Book of Joseph Smith is a fearless critique of the Book of Mormon, which is the seminal text of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), also known as the Mormons. While much has been written criticizing the more obvious features of some Mormon lifestyles, this book goes deeper to explain why the underlying tenets are faulty and explains how followers have been duped by a well-known con man. You need this marvelous book. You will stay up late reading this informative book. The author pulls no punches in his review of Joseph Smith's life and actions leading up to the founding of the Mormon Church. In fact, Tango even admits the book "will offend those who believe that Mormons are Christians and our brothers and sisters in Christ, when nothing could be further from the truth." The Greatest Deception of All is aimed at anyone curious about the LDS and what followers believe, as well as Christians and others who enjoy learning about the underpinnings of more modern religious sects. But beyond that, this book is also for those Mormons who may, as stated in the introduction, "sense that something isn't quite right with the doctrine of the LDS Church, their belief system, and the Mormon Church's practices."

Download or read book The Mormon Murders written by Steven Naifeh and published by St. Martin's Paperbacks. This book was released on 2015-06-09 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 15, 1985, two pipe bombs shook the calm of Salt Lake City, Utah, killing two people. The only link-both victims belonged to the Mormon Church. The next day, a third bomb was detonated in the parked car of church-going family man, Mark Hoffman. Incredibly, he survived. It wasn't until authorities questioned the strangely evasive Hoffman that another, more shocking link between the victims emerged... It was the appearance of an alleged historic document that challenged the very bedrock of Mormon teaching, questioned the legitimacy of its founder, and threatened to disillusion millions of its faithful-unless the Mormon hierarchy buried the evidence.

Kimball, highlighting polyandrous relationships and children born into those unions; plus details of over a hundred children born post 1890 to polygamous wives of General Authorities who violated their own canonised Manifesto after they had covenanted to stop the practice.

Download or read book The Moroni Deception written by Jack Brody and published by . This book was released on 2012-12-19 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Chenault, award-winning investigative journalist with the New York Times, is rousted in the middle of the night by NYPD detectives and accused of the bizarre murder of a complete stranger. After clearing himself, Chenault finds that Martin Koplanski, the retired history professor he'd been accused of murdering, was likely killed for a mysterious Mormon relic long thought to be just a myth. Twenty-four hours later, Chenault receives an email with a photo of the recently murdered wife of Presidential candidate, Brockston Ratchford. She too appears to have been ritually killed in the exact manner as Koplanski, right down to having the same cryptic character scrawled in blood across her forehead. With way more than just a hunch to now go on, Chenault heads out to Salt Lake City, the site of the Ratchford murder investigation, to find out what, if any, connection there is between the murders. With the help of a beautiful young reporter he meets along the way, Chenault comes to learn the dark family secrets of a rising political star, along with the rather strange but true history of the Mormon church. As he pieces the story together of what appears to be an ever-growing conspiracy, Chenault is pursued by The Brothers, two murderous zealots who will stop at nothing to retrieve the Mormon relic Chenault is also trying to find. What Chenault eventually discovers is that what he's uncovered may not only affect the outcome of the next Presidential election, but decide the fate of an entire religion-if he can manage to stay alive. In the tradition of Raymond Khoury, Brad Meltzer, Dan Brown and Steve Berry, The Moroni Deception is a cleverly conceived, twisting tale of political and religious intrigue by a new master of the conspiracy thriller.

Download or read book The Book of Mormon 2 written by Joe Tango and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-04-18 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second book in a series of three picks up the forthright examination and critique of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), also known as the Mormons. After the first book's overview, this second book of three drills down a bit deeper into the problematic inconsistencies and other un-Christian features of LDS. Tango book takes on the topics of polygamy, plural gods, the church's cash cow, covering up lies by adding unsubstantiated passages to the Bible, and Joseph Smith's criminal history. Tango provides plenty of scripture, including comparisons of the King James version of the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible. It will be no surprise to readers of the first book that the Smith Translation is heavily amended with additional passages that justify Smith's proclamations and behaviors, including his polygamous marriages to young girls and married women with families. Readers also learn more about Joseph Smith's past and ongoing criminal behaviors and why the LDS claim that his numerous arrests were really about religious persecution, is hard to believe in at least a few of the cases.

Book excerpt: ''MORMONISM? What is it? Where did it originate? Who wrote the Book of Mormon? Is Mormonism a legitimate form of Christianity? In this book, the author Andrew Knight, explores the history of the Mormon religion focusing on the life of its founder Joseph Smith, right through to his assassination in Illinois in 1844, and the subsequent Mormon exodus to Utah, under the leadership of the replacement Mormon leader Brigham Young, in 1846.Comparing and contrasting the Book of Mormon to the Bible, Knight explains how the Book of Mormon contradicts the bible and despite the organisation's claims to be of Jesus Christ is in reality nothing more than a glamourised heretical cult, initially orchestrated by Joseph Smith in 1830 in order to provide him with substantial wealth and power, and it worked! Today the Mormon church is an international multi billion dollar business empire. It's great wealth however was acquired at the expense of the deception of millions of Mormon believers over the last 193 years''--Back cover.

This book was released on 2019-02-09 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1994, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland declared: "Not everything in life is so black and white, but the authenticity of the Book of Mormon and its keystone role in our religion seem to be exactly that. Either Joseph Smith was the prophet he said he was, a prophet who, after seeing the Father and the Son, later beheld the angel Moroni, repeatedly heard counsel from Moroni's lips, and eventually received at his hands a set of ancient gold plates that he then translated by the gift and power of God, or else he did not. And if he did not, he would not be entitled to the reputation of New England folk hero or well-meaning young man or writer of remarkable fiction. No, nor would he be entitled to be considered a great teacher, a quintessential American religious leader, or the creator of great devotional literature. If he had lied about the coming forth of the Book of Mormon, he would certainly be none of these... If Joseph Smith did not translate the Book of Mormon as a work of ancient origin, then I would move heaven and earth to meet the "real" nineteenth-century author. Surely there must be someone willing to step forward-if no one else, at least the descendants of the "real" author-claiming credit for such a remarkable document and all that has transpired in its wake. After all, a writer that can move millions can make millions. Shouldn't someone have come forth then or now to cashier the whole phenomenon? " Let me quote a very powerful comment from President Ezra Taft Benson, who said, 'The Book of Mormon is the keystone of [our] testimony. Just as the arch crumbles if the keystone is removed, so does all the Church stand or fall with the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. To hear someone say something so tremendously bold, so overwhelming in its implications, that everything in the Church - everything - rises or falls on the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon and, by implication, the Prophet Joseph Smith' s account of how it came forth, is astounding. Either the Book of Mormon is what the Prophet Joseph said it is or this Church and its founder are false, fraudulent, a deception from the first instance onward." "Either Joseph Smith was the prophet he said he was and he is not entitled to be considered a great teacher or a quintessential American prophet or the creator of great wisdom literature. If he lied about the coming forth of the Book of Mormon, he is certainly none of those." I am suggesting that we make exactly that same kind of do-or-die, bold assertion about the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the divine origins of the Book of Mormon. We have to. Reason and rightness require it. Accept Joseph Smith as a prophet and the book as the miraculously revealed and revered word of the Lord or else consign both man and book to Hades for the devastating deception of it all My name is John Rigdon - great nephew of Sidney Rigdon. In this book I explore the real genesis of the Book of Mormon relying on family documents and published affidavits of people who witnessed firsthand the creation of the Book of Mormon - men and women who knew Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon personally over their entire lifetime. For more than 150 years the Mormon Church has endeavored to hide the true origin of the Book of Mormon and gone to great lengths to silence and discredit witnesses and in many cases change original documents, but now that the Internet has made access to those records available to anyone who takes the time to research them, the true history of the fraud of the Book of Mormon and the rise of the LDS cannot be denied by any rational seeker of truth. The time has come to set the record straight, once and for all. My book will show the involvement that my Uncle Sidney had in the whole affair.
