  1. Moroni appeared to Joseph Smith 3 times in one night telling him about the golden plates. Joseph Smith was confused! After reading James 1.5, he retired to the woods to pray for wisdom. Two persons appeared. One was evidently the Lord Jesus Christ. The following day Smith located the plates in a stone box. He returned each year for 4 years and on September 22nd 1827 he was finally given the plates.

  2. April 6th 1830The small group organised themselves into “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints” Smith married Emma Hale on January 18th 1827, having eloped after her father refused to give consent. Brigham Young led the 400 wagons to “we know not where.” The Mormons arrived July 24th 1847 at Salt Lake Valley, Utah. “This is the place.” A newspaper set up to oppose Smith was attacked and burnt out at Smith’s order. He was arrested, but murdered in jail by a mob of outraged citizens.

  3. we believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God. (no translation errors!) What Mormons believe about: The Bible Thou fool, that shall say: A bible, we have got a bible and we need no more bible. “I have never yet delivered a sermon and sent it forth to the children of men which may not be called scripture.” Brigham Young

  4. Evolutionism says, “Monkey to man.” What Mormons believe about: As man is, God once was; as God is, man may become God Mormonism says, “Creature to Creator.”

  5. Jesus Christ in some form came and organised the matter to form the earth, which was in a universe in which they had already previously formed other planets for Elohim’s other spirit children to inhabit. ps. The days on Kolob are 1000 years on earth! What Mormons believe about: Creation First picture of the man on the moon? Matter is eternal. Various gods simply organise it into planets etc.

  6. God the Father(who is an exalted man) took Mary as wife and produced a body for the spirit who became Jesus Christ What Mormons believe about: Joseph was then given Mary as his wife JesusChrist There are some sins that the blood of Christ cannot cover. Only the shedding of the person’s own blood can atone for these sins… Jesus’ death gives every person a resurrection and a second chance!

  7. What Mormons believe about: Salvation

  8. Tell them that you know some of what they believe. • Testimony is no good. They have their own. It includes peace, joy and assurance. • What evidence is there that the Book of Mormon is true historically? • Unfulfilled or false prophecies by their prophets. • The vast difference between the Bible and their beliefs. • Polygamy, early views on black people, blood atonement, men on the moon and sun!, Masonic rituals in the temple ceremonies, special handshakes, oaths of death if they do not keep the secrets, etc, etc… Witnessing to Mormons They are creatures, and sinners,Only a work of gracewill help them.
