The following are extracts from some of the emails sent to bibtruth.com. They range across the spectrum, from complimentary to rude and insulting. Enjoy!



I have no doubt in the Mormon religion, so how could you? If I have felt the spirit, and gotten answers, why would it be different for you? Sometimes God won't give you the answer until you are ready for it because it is a test of faith.



I joined the Mormon church last August and am sorry I did. Nowhere is a cross of our Savior and I do not know who their God is. This Angel Moroni or whatever is praised more than the Christ. I think they use Christ when they want and the Book of Mormon always. I can't say that some things are not right but I need a church where all things are right and true.



I am a recovering Mormon who just recently discovered Christianity and the truth of the Bible. I have been struggling to shed all of the falsehoods that I was taught growing up LDS in Salt Lake City, and I just happened to stumble on your website. I feel like I was led to your website directly by God! It has been such an amazing gift to me!!! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to share your faith in Christ with me through this extraordinary website.



I believe that people leave the [LDS] church when the spirit leaves them, they start to criticize the leaders, and say evil things of the Lord's anointed, they almost always are guilty of some serious transgression, and I see how much anti Mormon things you have at your fingertips. I read some alarming scriptures about people who were once enlightened and turn away from the truth, I would not let that happen to me, I pray you may come back one day to the truth, as you are fighting a losing battle, and you are trying to justify your current state by saying you found Jesus.



I just read your beautiful testimony. I am also an ex Mormon. God bless you ...... Let's keep praying that the deception of Mormonism falls, and those poor lost sheep will come to the real Jesus.



Last year your website helped me learn more about my own Church [the LDS].



If you would have prayed true wanting to know and having faith that God would answer you would have received the answer you looked for and still can [i.e. that the LDS church is true] ..... Since the LDS church is flawless you should work at having blind faith.



The Bible in the LDS church is an active part of our religion. We believe in it where it is correctly translated.



You actually think salvation is that easy??? That is something you have to earn and work for.



I'm a recent convert to the LDS church. I've been struggling to understand Mormon doctrines for the past couple of weeks..... I was supposed to go on my first Temple Trip to perform baptisms for the dead, but I didn't go on account of my family's firm disapproval. Since then they challenged me to search for the falsehoods of the church.



I believe that somewhere in your heart you still believe that the [LDS] church is true.



Most of the stuff you wrote are lies and the rest is confusion.



Joseph Smith stated that all churches upon the face of the earth are false, in that they teach false doctrines.



I am in need of advice. Some Mormon missionaries keep appearing at my back doorstep. I am unsure how to handle them. I am not a rude person and cannot simply tell them to go away — yet I want them to stop coming by.



I know the [LDS] church is true and I am glad I don't have the insecurity that you have. I am glad we have divine guidance as to the correct interpretation of scripture, or we would be floundering like the people who are on the message board with you.



You haven't exposed a false church, you haven't proved it wrong, I suggest it was too hard to live for you and rather than changing your own performance you had to discredit it, to comfort yourself.



Wow, that's all I can really say is wow! ..... Why haven't I seen this before now?



Listen, I just don't think that it is fair that you have your little story on the internet to try to break someone else's faith. And what you said about Joseph Smith well ..... you must not know much. Because Mormons don't like worship him and he is not lying! God gave him authority so that we can act in his name! No other church has that. No other church has the power to baptize, give priesthood blessings, etc.



I am a Christian, my girlfriend of 6 months is a Mormon and I don't know how to make her see the truth.



I also would like to ask you how diligent were you in trying to find the answers to your prayers [for an LDS testimony]. I have found that I must pray over and over until I am definite that what I am feeling is right and in accordance to the teachings of the gospel. Just as in schoolwork, you can't be studying for a math test and expect to memorize formulas perfectly if you only study it one time. It takes repetition. The same with prayer and answers. For me, one time doesn't always do it.



I have friends that are Mormons and my girlfriend used to be one. I am trying to understand why it hurts her so much when I tell her all the wrongs in Mormonism.



Thank you so much. I got an email today from her mom saying that "I agree with you. I agree with every statement you made, every scripture you interpreted, and every question you posed! I can't believe I let myself be so blindly led by the teachings of the Mormons."



I am sure in heaven that we will know each other... for I expect that many people will go up to you and say thank you for making a change in their lives.



I too have found that the LDS Church is at this point, the blind leading the blind.



Obviously, you are ignorant to the Bible and Book of Mormon. Let me ask you a personal question ok? What sin did you commit, that you did not want to take care of? [Note by editor: Mormons are taught that the only reason folk leave the LDS church is because they're involved in sin, or else because they can't live up to the high standards of Mormonism. In reality the majority leave because they've discovered that it's a religion of deception. And their leadership is well aware of this fact.]



I am in need of help and advice.



I don't know if you remember me, but I wrote you about 2 years ago ... I just wanted to let you know how much your advice meant to me back then, and to let you know that I am very thankful God brought your wisdom and advice into my life. I was simply writing to tell you thank you.



I would like to suggest that you find a quiet place, kneel, and pray. Ask the Lord omnipotent if your website is helpful to those seeking Him. If it is what you are supposed to be spending so much time on as a Christian and as one of His children.



I would like to thank you for sending me the writings. They got me off to a great understanding of my newness in God. I know you may not remember me but, we were communicating a couple of years ago. I was just learning to crawl in Christ. I wanted to let you know that you were a big help in me learning to walk in Christ.



I found your web site today and wanted to say how thankful I am for your ministry .....



I would just like to thank you once again for all you have given me. Everything has been so helpful. I feel that it is now time to apply these concepts to my own life.



I know becoming a Mormon is not for me, but what do I tell these people when they come to my home on Tuesday? If I don't give them a solid answer on why I don't want to join their Church, I know they won't give up. Please help me!!!!!!! I need to know some of the fundamental differences between Christianity and LDS.



I just want you to know how much I appreciate your testimony, your ministry, and this website. I too left the Mormon church having many of the same feeling you have experienced. I am a Christian, but I live in an area that is highly populated with Mormons. As a result we have Mormon friends. I guess my biggest prayer is that I can provide a foundation for my children so that they never consider joining or marrying into the Mormon religion. Websites like yours help give me direction and biblical guidance to pose clear reasons and explanations for why the Mormon religion is so misguided. I just wanted to say thank you.



It is too bad that so many misguided people like you are trying so hard to tear down the faith and beliefs of others. Sorry pard, I am Mormon and it is true and correct doctrine. We are Christians just like any one else. And for your information the Book of Mormon is a second witness to the truthfulness of the gospel. They work together as scripture. The Mormon church has always used the Bible and always will as long as it is translated correctly.



Praise the Lord for the work you have done. What a great website and wealth of information with which to combat the LDS heresy. I was blessed with what I read and would like approval to make copies of the testimonies/material for distribution as needed.



I am sorry for your soul and will pray for you but you truly have a twisted sense of the scriptures.



Thanks for your work, I came out of Mormonism in 1991.



I found your website to be mildly entertaining. I wonder if you have another one dedicated to the Bible. I also wonder what religion you have chosen since leaving the Mormon church. Any response would be great.



I am truly happy to see the great work that you are doing in bibtruth.com. It is not just another religious site, but it has become a very sound, thoroughly researched website for me.



Thanks for a good laugh. Anti-Mormon literature is always good for a laugh.



I am an inactive [LDS] high priest delaying daily leaving the church because of what it will do to my relationships with family and friends. Only recently have I turned to reading anti-Mormon or non-Mormon literature but having done so I have been surprised to find that others have discovered flaws and misrepresentations that I thought were solely my own. I am impressed with what I have read of your writings.....



Interesting site. It is filled with mistakes, filled with lack of proof (when you quote the Bible, which you seldom do — usually all you quote are ideas that standard Christians claim are in the Bible but are not), filled with false declarations of what Mormons believe, etc.



Your writing was immensely encouraging and God bless all the work that you are doing!! Thank you so much!



I am not defending Mormons, but your site is so filled with rubbish it is unbelievable. I can find scriptures from the Bible itself to disprove every single premise you present. It is a book filled to the brim with contradictions, misdirection, even stories where God tells people to lie, only to learn from the actual story that God really didn't get it right, and had no clue what the Pharaoh would do (read the story of Abraham where he lies to Pharaoh regarding who his wife is; he lied because God told him to, and because if he told the truth about who his wife was, Pharaoh would kill him. [Note by Editor: It isn't the Bible that says God told Abraham to lie, it's the LDS's scripture, Pearl of Great Price, Abraham 2:22-24).]

Your site is rubbish. Your doctrines are rubbish. Your Christ is not even all that great or capable of doing much of anything. Your understanding of the Bible is elementary at best, and misguided to the point of folly. And you condemn others because their doctrines don't match the Bible! The Gospels can't even agree on how Christ was crucified, for in them, he was nailed to a cross, but in Acts he was nailed to a tree.

You are a fraud, pure and simple. You have no more understanding of the Bible than the average non-church-goer and basically non-believer. You know a smattering of standard Christian babble, and can't even figure out how that is completely unsupported by anything in the scriptures. (Note by Editor: Sections of this extract were omitted due to profanity.)



I will continue reading your website, thank you for taking the time to read my messages.... Again, thank you. I've been looking for a website to help me search for answers.



I have enjoyed your website so far, and I have a comment regarding the section on changing skin color. For a number of years, the [LDS] church had an adoption program for indian children, and Spencer Kimball stated that over time, the skin of these children became much lighter when compared to their Indian parents.



Having read your piece about Ezekiel 37 being interpreted falsely by the LDS Church, seems a bit of a stretch for me.



Joseph Smith is spoken of in the Bible. God used Him to Bring forth the Book of Mormon.



I visited your site and found many truths and many half, twisted or untruths.



I still don't believe that what you're saying is true. I know by the spirit that the church I go to [the LDS] is true and will not turn my back on my Father and Brother. (Note by Editor: When he says his Brother, he means Jesus is his literal brother in eternal progression, and when he says Father, he is confirming that God was his literal father in a previous existence.)



I just wanted to write to you and thank you so much for your caring ministry in creating this website, which seems to be just for me! It is helping me so much as I transition away from the false teachings of Mormonism and emerge into the light of Truth. ..... You will never know how much it has helped in bringing me to know and understand the true nature of our Lord and Saviour!!



I was introduced to the church and attracted to the friendly faces, and their kind and sincere hearts. I got baptized, not fully believing in the LDS church, God has blessed me with an investigative brain. Well, for one, I didn't believe that God had a body of flesh and bone. I struggled to wrap my mind around the fact that Jesus walked in America, and then there was the lack of evidence around this, except for "pray and ask the Lord if what we said was true."

I've always been a strong believer, when I went to the LDS church, something was itching inside me, the same feeling you get before you tell a lie, or any other sin. Something felt wrong. And then I heard the teachings of McConkie, and I laughed, and then I heard Hinckley, and I laughed. I felt relieved to know that God did not forsake me, although I was blinded by false prophets. .... I read my Bible to distract me of their lies, to bring me closure. I was not as "brainwashed" as you, but it hurts when you find out you have been misled. I forgive them, like Jesus said... They don't know what they're doing.

Anyway, I got on the Internet and I searched for evidence that the LDS church was true, and I cried when I found those videos, and the others that I am yet to send. I thought to myself, "I sold my soul to the Devil, I got baptized in a false church." Now I have the need to get baptized again, by someone who knows wrong from right.

And I found your website, thank you for being what you are and doing what you do.



I recently left the LDS church. I was an active member for 31 years and I have been under a lot of pressure from the bishopric and the home teachers to return. I read your great article on the BOM and it has proven to me that the LDS church is totally false. I intend to show the [LDS] home teachers your message and I hope to turn them away from Mormonism.



Your website is a very good one. I like it. It is very informative.



I am in need of some serious help! I have been in a Mormon church for two years..... and for some reason, I have been utterly convinced of the authority and power of the church, and I cannot seem to think my way out of it. I believe that this is all a big lie and conspiracy, but for some reason, I just can't shake the beliefs and I feel like I am completely trapped in their version of "God's truth."



I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to post that up (Mormonism and Biblical Truth). I got to talking with a Mormon a few days ago, and was very confused by his somewhat circular logic (of the fact that he couldn't answer some of my questions). Your page was helpful in me being able to logically dispute some of the points he brings up, which I thought I would have to do hours and hours of research to achieve.
