Nine Reasons to Reject Mormonism

()
About this ebook
Be prepared to see the doctrinal heresies of Mormonism opened wide up. This book informs why Joseph Smith's "Inspired" Version of the Bible is a farce and why the Mormon criticism of the Bible is fallacious. It also exposes the LDS errors that God the Father is a glorified man who begets premortal "spirit children" through having celestial sex with female goddesses and sires Jesus through becoming Mary's husband. The book elaborates on why the Mormon doctrine that Jesus has only one nature is an error. Yes, the book does use humor at times, but its issues are very serious.

The Inspired Version
is a Perversion.
A choice seer will I raise up…and his name shall be called Joseph.
Genesis chapter 50.
The Mormon, Hopkins, writes,
"The Masoretes, a guild of specially trained Jewish scholars, maintained the text of the Old Testament through the ages with such painstaking care that the mss (manuscripts) currently in existence show essentially no divergence of text… . ¹
I agree with Hopkins here. This reassuring statement protects us from being duped when someone comes along and adds whole verses, even entire chapters to our Old Testament. One doing that should be mocked and his buffoonery scorned. Why would anyone believe that after many centuries of the consistently unchanged, unadulterated Old Testament text read by millions of Jews and Christians over the ages someone has had the inspiration that the correct text is actually much different from that which has been read for centuries. Who would accept such nonsense? Ummm, oh yeah, a Mormon. That’s who. You’re kidding, right Bill?
Nope, I’m not. while those who believed in him paged through their King James Bibles, the Prophet
Joseph Smith dictated his own Inspired Version
of the Bible adding scores and scores of verses to the Old Testament text which the Mormon, Hopkins, just above, said was for centuries painstakingly maintained by highly trained Jewish scholars. My copy of this Inspired Version
was published in 1970 by the Herald Publishing House in Independence, Missouri. The introduction to this volume explains that Smith translated by revelation
and that another revelation
of his requires the prophet’s
devotees to uncompromisingly accept the new version.² That is very convenient. Don’t you dare evaluate Smith’s translation. Don’t you dare research its compatibility with the Hebrew and Greek texts, syntax or grammar. Don’t you dare compare its virtues to any other versions and translations. Just accept it because Smith had a revelation that requires you to do that.
Smith’s translation is published by the Reorganized Church,
of Missouri, but the Latter Days Saints
(Salt Lake) say that it is an accurate translation of Smith’s work.³ The Mormon volume LDS Beliefs
calls the
translation a scriptural treasure.⁴ The translation is also referenced in Doctrines and Covenants 45:60-62 and 124:89. But why would anyone think that the Bible needs to be changed by Smith? Well, for one reason, it was revealed to Smith that the
abominable church had removed
many parts which are plain and most precious" from the Bible. (1 Nephi 13:26-28).
So, what was one of these truths which the dastardly church supposedly removed? It is Genesis 50:30, 33. You say, Hold on Bill, Genesis 50 only has 26 verses.
But that BIG omission is corrected by Joe because the prophet
says it has more and he has added 38 new verses to the end of Genesis. But how do you know he is a prophet? Because Genesis 50: 30, 33, part of his additions, says he is, that’s how,
And, again, I will raise up out of the fruit of thy loins and unto him I will give power to bring forth my word…and his name shall be called Joseph, and it shall be after the name of his father… .
Now can you guess Joe’s father’s name. Was it Jack? Nope. Was it Ted? Nope. Was it Frank? Nope. You don’t mean it was Joseph? Bingo, that’s right. Smith’s Inspired Translation
includes a prediction about himself. Isn’t that really, really, really remarkable…hmmm? And those confused old Masoretes forgot to include an entire chapter of Genesis consisting of 38 verses, and over 1500 words in their painstaking
maintenance of the Old Testament text. But that’s not all, Genesis 5, for example, has about 60 added verses and Isaiah 29 also has a number of added verses.
But, you ask, these scores of added verses are proven to be original because they are referenced by other Old Testament writers, by our Lord Jesus, and by the apostles lots and lots of times, right? Nope! Okay, they are quoted a few times, then, right? Nope! Alright, just once? Nope! Smith’s added verses are nowhere alluded to anywhere in the Bible. So, why would we be convinced that
