What is known as the Mormon church, or church of the Latter Day Saints, was organized at Fayette, N. Y., April G, 1830, with six members. Three men?Rev. Sidney Rigdon, Parley P. Pratt and Joseph Smith?were the originators. The Book of Mormon, , which sets forth the teachings of Mormonism, was the work of Rev. Sidney Rigdon. He was first licensed as a Baptist preacher. Because of his wild and erratic notions he was soon deposed from the Baptist ministry. He then became a preacher in the Campbellite church and was instructed under Alexander Campbell. He soon fell out with Campbell and went \ out to organize this new sect of his own. Joseph Smith was an ignorant man but skillful and cunning and . soon gained control of the machinery of the new church and held it till the time of his death in 1844. Pratt was shot to death by an enraged husband whose wife had been induced to leave her home and children through the ~ r??11 uiuuciict; ui nuu. Mormonism and Government. Mormonism is opposed to our . American system of government. It sets up the Mormon priesthood as the kingdom of God and deplares, "all other governments are illegal and unauthorized . . . any people attempting to govern themselves by laws of their own appointment, are in direct rebellion against the kingdom of God." It is thus declared that the control of all affairs should be in the hands of the tyrannical priesthood. In the hands of Mormons all of our institutions sacred to Americans would be destroyed, even to our republican form of government. Mormonism and the Bible. A casual glance at the doctrinal statements of the Mormon church does not reveal so much of error. But an inquiry into the real meaning of the statements which catch so many of the uninformed will show how far they are from the truth. Let us examine some of them and compare them with the teaching of the Bible, the Word of God. Article one of Mormon doctrine: "We believe in God, the eternal Father, and in his Son Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost." Now let the Mormon teacher tell us what they mean by this statement: Mormonism: "He fAHaml is our Father and our God, and the only God 1 with whom pre have to do." ^ Bible: "Ji am the Lord, and there . is none elser. there is no god beside ) imfe." Uh. 45:6. "Call no than your father upon the earth; for one is your Father, which __ is in heaven."?Mat. 23:9. m Mormonism: "When our Father Adam came into the garden of Eden, he came into it with a celestial body, and brought Eve, one of his wives, ; with him." Bible: "Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator."?Rom. 1:25. Mormonism: "God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man (meaning a big Mormon.)" Bible: "God is a Spirit."?Jno. 4:24. ? Mormonism: "Are there more gods than one? Yes, many." \t Bible: "The Lord our God is one 7 Lord."?Mark 12:29. o "I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me."? |1 Isaiah 45:5. H Mormonism: "Each god, through his wife or wives, raises up a num6 erous family of sons and daughters." , Bible: "For ye are the children ll of God by faith in Christ Jesus."? Gal. 3:26. Mormonism: "The purest, most refined and subtle of all these substances (such as electricity, galvanism, magnetism) ... is that substance called the Holy Spirit." Bible "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will J send in my name, he shall teach you J all things."?Jno. 14:26. It will be seen from these state ments that the Mormon idea of God is quite different from that of the Bi ble. ^ Mormonism, article 2: "We believe , that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression." i Bible: "Tn sin did my mother conie ceive me."?Psalms 51:5. k, "Wherefore, as by one man sin en- i >r tered into the world, and death passed ] 11 upon all men, for all have sinned."? i s- Rom. 5:12. ! i- Mormonism, article 2: "We believe 1 ie that through the atonement of Jesus i t, Christ all mankind may be saved, by 3 1- obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel." < But listen and let the Mormons tell < us who Jesus Christ is: >r Mormonism: "The Father has be- 1 4 gotten him in his own likeness. He 1 was not begotten of the Holy Ghost, i And who is the Father? He is the first of the human family (Adam)." \ Bible: "For that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost."?Mat. ie 1:20. k "This is my beloved Son."?Mat. d 3:17. is Mormonism: "Redemption from j ie personal sins can only be obtained ^ d through obedience to the requirements , ,e of the gospel (Mormon ceremonies) and a life of good works." Bible: "In Whom (Jesus Christ) ' we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, accord>r ing to the riches of his grace."?Eph- 1 11:7* Mormonism: "Will all the people be damned who are not Latter Day Saints? Yes." Bible: "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life."?John 3:3f>. Mormonism: "The sectarian doctrine of justification by faith alone has exercised an influence for evil I since the early days of Christianity." 1 Bible: "Therefore being justified I by faith, we have peace with God I through our Lord Jesus Christ."? I Rom. 5:1. | Mormonism teaches that the Holy I Spirit is received only by the laying I on of hands of the Mormon priest- I hood. I Bible: "Repent and be baptized I every one of you in the name of Jesus I Christ for the remission of sins, and I ye shall receive the gifts of the Holy I Ghost."?Acts 2:38. I "How much more shall your heav- I enly Father give the Holy Spirit to I them that ask him."?Luke 11:13. I Mormonism, article 8: "We believe I the Bible to be the Word of God, so I far as it is correctly translated: we I also believe the book of Mormon to be 1 the Word of God." I Let the teachers tell us the Mormon I idea of the Bible: R Mormonism: "Wflford Woodruff is I a prophet. . . and he can make Scrip- I ture as good as those in the Bible." 1 "The living oracles (sayings of I priests) are worth more to the Latter I Day Saints than all the Bibles." I Bible: "All Scripture is given by I inspiration of God."?2 Tim. 3:1G. 1 "If any man shall add unto these I things, God shall add unto him the I plagues that are written in this I book."?Rev. 22:18. I Mormonism has not only added but I holds in higher esteem the sayings of I the book of Mormon and of their I priests. I Mormonism teaches that a man may I espouse ten virgins and not commit I adultery. If each of the ten consent I for him to have the other he is justi- I fled. I Bible: "Nevertheless, to avoid for- I nication, let every man have his own I wife and let every woman have her I own husband."?I Cor. 7:2. I "Thou shalt not commit adulleiy." I ?Ex. 20:14. 1 Summary. I Mormonism is opposed to American I institutions and laws; it makes Adam God, but also makes Adam a sinner and thus makes God a sinner and a polygamist; it makes Jesus Christ the soh of Adam and of polygamous and illegitimate birth; it denies the deity of the Holy Ghost, making him an Ethereal substance; it makessal?ation , depend upon works Justification by faith; it claims thai; the Mormon church is the only true church and that no one can be saved out of the Mormon church, and yet this institution was organized 83 years ago by three immoral men; it destroys the sanctity of the home and sets a premium upon fornication and , adultery; it dishonors the Word of ( God by putting it on a low basis with the book of Mormon. To every one who will investigate these things it will appear that this i's an evil, immoral and blasphemous system of teaching and should be rejected by every one who would glorify our Father who is in heaven.
