@TribeRuffner Then there’s this:
With primitive tech, the ancient church converted ~1% of the Roman Empire w/in 200yrs, mainly pagans.
LDS are about 0.2% globally at the same benchmark w/ modern tech, “converting” mainly Christians…
But “Great Apostasy” and “Restoration” or whatever.
English
@TribeRuffner Esp. when one considers what their idea of “success” looks like, by comparison?
Racism.
Polygamy.
Dishonesty (about the polygamy, in particular).
Lawlessness (arson).
Etc.
🤷♂️
English
So the Book of Mormon basically says that Jesus spread the gospel and established new, additional apostles over in the Americas...
The problem is...there's no evidence of the gospel being spread?
The original 12 Apostles spread the gospel, passed on apostolic succession, started churches, etc
Christianity turned the world upside down entirely - it's undeniable the impact it had on the world. Not just historically speaking, but spiritually as well...
But the Americas?
Nothing. Not a trace. No manuscripts. No letters to the churches, not evidence of the gospel being spread whatsoever...
Why?
Did they fail? If they did fail and that's the argument the LDS folks want to take - that then means Christ established not one, but TWO different churches and BOTH of them failed?!
Diabolically incoherent, right? What do you think?

@ayeeSybau @RykerJackson97 Bad Mormon doctrine.
Do you not love your God?
Want to tell Him?
Praise Him?
English
@ReelinAllFight @RykerJackson97 You don’t have to pray to Jesus lmao ☠️🤣 he’s the mediator…
English
I’ll do you one better.
How about the first line of the first verse of the classic Latter-day Saint hymn, “I Believe in Christ”?
Bob Cook ☧@Catholic_Bob
Have we thought about asking the mormons to say “Christ is King”?

@K10original @RykerJackson97 Maybe you would wear the square and/or compass around your neck?

@skyomedy @RykerJackson97 Doctrine according to @skyomedy.
Try addressing a prayer to Jesus in a Sacrament meeting?
English
@ReelinAllFight @RykerJackson97 You still can, no one’s stopping you. Sure the technicality is there but I don’t think God is like “uh nuh nuh! You didn’t pray to ME so therefore your prayer is unheard!
imo praying to Jesus would be the same as praying to God, since they’re both One. So I say go for it
English
@RykerJackson97 Deep dissatisfaction with not being able to pray to Jesus is a big reason I am exiting Mormonism.
I never even felt like there is a good reason given in the Mormon canon why you can’t?
Just bc?
That’s what the God Jos. allegedly spoke with directly is quoted saying in BoM?
English
@ReelinAllFight We pray the way He commanded us to, to the Father in His name.
And I personally don’t wear a cross but I have no problem with someone wearing one.

Some say “if life gives you 🍋🍋, make lemonade.”
How cute.
I say “if life gives you coffee cherries, strip away the flesh.
Roast the hell out of the remaining seeds.
Grind them down to bits.
Drown them in scalding hot water.
Filter out what remains.
And enjoy the ☕️.

@crapolavich @Thatbrian Just one example of the soft underbelly of Mormons’ embrace of the outward appearances of material wealth and “success”:

Drunch punk but reelin’ all fight@ReelinAllFight
@mormons_speak @Ch_JesusChrist Apologists will say, “there are bad actors in any population; doesn’t reflect on the church.” What they willfully ignore is that members’ tendency to idolize those who achieve material wealth creates fertile ground for this kind of behavior.
English
@crapolavich @Thatbrian The more millionaire members the church can produce, the more those members are trapped by their own wealth and other members’ adulation and the belief that it is a reward for “righteousness,”
Most seem oblivious to how contrary it is to Jesus’s actual NT teachings.
English
I reside near a prominent Mormon enclave on the East Coast, where one cannot help but notice their huge, opulent estates.
Wealth and materialism appear not merely prominent, but almost axiomatic — a central organizing principle — across nearly every facet of Mormon life and culture.
Am I the only one to notice this? Do Mormons worship the almighty dollar?

@Eddie1968K @BenBird53920553 Word salad.
With gobbledygook dressing.

Well, OF COURSE this is correct. Were science to prove the Book of Mormon’s historicity, it would be science proving the supernatural because it is not possible to divorce the Book of Mormon’s historicity from its ahistorical production - Joseph Smith’s dictation between April 7 and July 1, 1829. This would then mean the supernatural message of the Book of Mormon is also proven by science - Jesus is our God, He is our Savior, and He truly rose from the dead.
The Bible’s historical transmission - its books were copied and spread across generations means its historicity is normal. Finding places mentioned in it like Jerusalem and Bethlehem does not mean Jesus was God who died and rose from the dead.
Science proving Zarahemla is no different than God appearing to the world. We lose faith and gain knowledge of God. That is a terrifying environment for any sin becomes unforgivable rebellion against God’s command. No repentance is possible.
English
@justin_hart Indeed.
It’s the global franchise business of a very wealthy & profitable Amer. conglomerate.
It depends on the BoM for its point of difference, but its claims of “continuing revelation“ give sr. leadership enough flexibility to modernize the product lto maximize revs./profits.
English
Mormonism may have its mysteries. Every faith does.
But if you want to test whether a religion knows what it believes and -- more importantly -- LIVES what it believes, don't start with obscure theological edge cases.
Start by visiting its congregations around the world.
The LDS Church is one of the few places where a member from San Diego can walk into a chapel in Japan, Kenya, Brazil, or Germany and immediately know exactly what's happening.
That's not what doctrinal chaos looks like. That's what a global faith with a shared theology looks like.
English
@teneb888 @fr_faulkner Yes, the “gold-ish plates lay hidden…” 🎶
English
@fr_faulkner Sorry dude - they’ve already done the math “Through the application of various heuristics, linguistic considerations, and experimental data the number of plausible configurations may be narrowed to about 865,000.”interpreterfoundation.org/journal/a-comb…
English
Here’s the trick though: Even if the Golden Plates were real, basically everybody who understands 1) Mathematics, 2) Materials Science, qnd 3) Linguistics & translations agrees the 270k-word Book of Mormon could never squeeze onto the thinnest plates with smallest hieroglyphics.
Thoughtful-Faith@ThoughtfulSaint
There are more eyewitness accounts of the gold plates than the resurrection. Christians who argue like atheists look like clowns
English
@Kintsugijin How do you worship Him if you don’t pray to Him?
English
I hate my timeline right now.
Mormons are Christian. Christianity means discipleship of Jesus Christ. If your definition excludes people who worship Christ, covenant with Christ, preach Christ, and try to follow Christ, then your definition is broken.
At that point, you’re not defending Christianity. You’re guarding a social club label.
The question isn’t whether LDS are Christian.
The question is why some people are so desperate to make Christ smaller than their own gatekeeping. 🤷♂️🤦♂️
English
@YourMomSMorris @ThoughtfulSaint Did it occur to Jos.—or God—that if polygamy were “restored,” men might, you know, abuse it if there weren’t more than “hypothetical” limits placed on it?
Was that not one of the lessons of its ancient, OT practice?
Maybe they’ll get it right next time?

With fewer, later marriages in the Church and declining birthrates, Could the prophet reveal it’s ok again BUT Bc Eve came from Adam’s rib in Gen 2:21-22, God clearly never wanted men to have >= 24 wives? 25-26 max? That JS and BY’s 30+ and 50+, respectively, were too many? 2/3
English
@YourMomSMorris @ThoughtfulSaint Source for 10 being hypothetical?
Sounds like “Gospel according to ‘Your Mom,’” like something you just made up now.
Source for allusion to the 10-virgins parable?
It’s not even footnoted in the LDS canon!
English
Well the Bible doesn’t…. At all
Samuel Grant@samdgrant_
I unapologetically support the merger of Christianity and Greek philosophy.
English
@FatherChrisVor1 The irony:
“Hey guys, you can’t exclude us from your club we really, really think is totally worse than worthless!”
English
When Mormonism complains about Christian pushback, it is worth remembering that Mormonism was founded on an attack against Christianity. The churches were declared wrong. The creeds were declared an abomination. The Christian faith was declared corrupted and lost. Those are Mormon claims, not Christian ones.
Hank Smith@hankrsmith
Being rejected by the Christians of the United States is not new. From Missouri to Illinois, government officials not only failed to protect our ancestors from persecution — they often joined in it. Saints were stripped of their rights, shot at, and expelled. Children were executed. Women were assaulted. Then, even after fleeing the country, that same government sent an army to follow their bloody footprints into the Rocky Mountains. Elected officials then continued to harass, malign, and threaten to confiscate the Church’s private property for decades. Now it is 2026, and the pattern has not entirely disappeared. The same government seeks to define what we believe. Voices on social media — most of them professing Christians — declare openly that our faith is obviously fraudulent or started by demons. Given that history, no one should be surprised when we respond with a touch of passion.

@FiredUpCoug @BYU @ChristoffDTodd @BYUtv @byuradio As a human, might he be affected deeply by the news and want to condemn the act unequivocally? Members sustain him as a revelator: what revelatory gifts does he have if not to protect children he could've helped over decades by discerning a pattern in his own family? Matt. 18:6
QME
@ChristoffDTodd Funny, because you couldn’t distinguish between doing the right thing and the wrong thing when it came to protecting children and turning your pedophile brother into the authorities.
Nice words, though. Very smooth. I’m sure the sheep are soothed.
English
In the temple we learn to distinguish between the holy and the profane, the clean and the unclean.
The words at the door of the temple—“Holiness to the Lord”— are both an invitation and a commandment to all who would enter.
Just as this newly dedicated Yorba Linda California Temple is in the world and yet is a place apart, here each of us learns how to be in the world and yet not of the world.
Gradually all that is impure or unworthy in our character is rooted out as we draw closer to the Lord in His house. Our very desires change over time. It is a conditioning for life in a holy, celestial realm.

@justin_hart Spoiler alert:
Read it.
Prayed.
Thought I got an answer.
Lived it for decades.
Realized it’s not true.
On my way out.
Currently inquiring EO.
You’re welcome in advance for saving you the misplaced decades.

I concur.
Take the challenge!
Mike Lee@BasedMikeLee
Read the Book of Mormon. Cover to cover. Pray about it, asking sincerely to know whether it’s true (the final chapter provides specific guidance on this point). Then tell me whether Latter-day Saints believe in Jesus Christ. Will you accept that challenge?
