A LETTER TO CHRISTIANS,
FROM THE EDITOR
Welcome to Mormonism and Biblical Truth!
Each of the articles on this site explains both the Mormon and the
biblical teachings (with references). If you can spare the time to
read through them all, you will gain both an in-depth understanding
and a working knowledge of Mormonism that will stand you in good
stead. You will find this invaluable, as although Mormons use
biblical terminology, they apply their own exclusive meanings to
these terms. So you could actually be under the false impression
that you are discussing the same thing, or that your beliefs agree,
when in reality nothing would be further from the truth.
You will be able to access an index to all the articles on the home
page by following this link:

A very brief article, explaining the beliefs of Mormonism contrasted
with the teachings of the Bible, will be found by following the link
What is Mormonism?
ETERNAL PROGRESSION
The basic doctrine upon which Mormonism of today either stands or
falls is "The Law of Eternal Progression." You
will find information on eternal progression included in these
articles:
Mormonism's Law of Eternal Progression
LDS Pre-existence is Disproved by the Bible
The Mormon Gods, Past and Present
CLEARING UP THE FALLACIES
There are a few red herrings that have been laid down by the LDS
church that need to be dealt with right at the start, before any
Mormon would be willing to seriously consider the likelihood that
biblical Christianity is the truth. Firstly, Joseph Smith, their
prophet and founder, maintained that the early church went into
total apostasy shortly after the death of Christ's apostles. He
also claimed that God had removed His authority for the
gospel from the earth and that He later restored it to the LDS
church. His third claim was that the Bible had been corrupted to
the extent that it is no longer reliable. You will find some
answers to these deceptions by following these links:
The Apostasy is a Mormon Fallacy
LDS Authority Teaching Has No Basis
The LDS Priesthood is Unbiblical
Corruption of the Bible is an LDS Smokescreen
THE MORMON TESTIMONY
Mormons are taught to bear their testimonies whenever their beliefs
are challenged. So if they do so whilst you are ministering to
them, this does not necessarily mean that they don't believe you or
that they don't get the point you are trying to get across to them.
It could mean quite the opposite. Furthermore, because they are
taught that to lose their testimonies would result in their apostasy
and eventually being cast into outer darkness, they sometimes cut
off contact if they feel threatened by proof of the deception
involved in their religion.

My prayers go with you as you serve the Lord in your ministry to
Mormons.
