We absolutely believe God can and does speak today — through His Word, the Holy Spirit, and wise counsel. But we reject the idea that the Bible is incomplete and that God waited 1,800 years to restore the gospel through Joseph Smith.
More revelation is not the issue. The issue is whether that “revelation” contradicts what God already clearly revealed in Christ and Scripture. That’s why we test everything against the Bible (Acts 17:11; Galatians 1:8-9).
It’s not closed-mindedness.
It’s faithfulness to what God has already given us.

@XianImperialist It’s one thing if you didn’t believe these scriptures or JS was a prophet. But you Creedalists never say more scripture, revelation or prophets would be awesome. No, you are all vehemently against receiving more from God. Such a boomer mindset.
English

Mormons have elevated 3 books of "holy scripture" to be on equal authority as the Bible.
Further the "KJV" of their "Bible" is known as the JST (Joseph Smith Translation), where he corrects and "clarifies" the Bible under his authority as the true prophet.

Mormons have faith in Jesus Christ. Mormons are baptized. Mormons keep the commandments and live the beatitudes. Mormons care for the poor and needy. Mormons read the Bible. Mormons aren’t Christian’s?

@Primary_Pianist @XianImperialist I know that Joseph Smith and his family were known locally in Palmyra/Manchester, New York, as “money diggers” — people who used magical practices to search for buried treasure.
Did you?
English

@XianImperialist So you really don’t know anything about Mormons… got it.
English

Joseph Smith was deeply involved in 19th-century American folk magic (also called “cunning folk” traditions or treasure seeking) before and during the early years of founding the LDS Church.
His Folk Magic Background:
• He and his family were known locally in Palmyra/Manchester, New York, as “money diggers” — people who used magical practices to search for buried treasure.
• Joseph used seer stones (special stones believed to have spiritual powers) placed in a hat to “see” hidden treasure. He was paid for these services.
• He owned several seer stones, including the famous brown stone he later used to “translate” the Book of Mormon.
• He participated in folk magic rituals involving magic circles, divining rods, incantations, and protective amulets (some of which have survived and are in Church archives).
• Court records from 1826 show he was brought before a judge in Bainbridge, New York, as a “disorderly person” and “glass looker” (someone who looks into stones or glass for supernatural insight).
How This Influenced Early LDS Church:
1. Translation Method — Joseph dictated the entire Book of Mormon while looking into a seer stone placed in a hat, blocking out light — the exact same method he used for treasure seeking.
2. Temple Ceremonies & Symbols — Many early Mormon practices (special clothing, gestures, tokens, and ritual language) show clear parallels to folk magic ceremonies.
3. Worldview — Joseph’s comfort with supernatural objects, visions, angels, and buried ancient records fits naturally within a folk magic worldview.
4. Controversy — This background is one of the most uncomfortable topics for modern Latter-day Saints. The Church now acknowledges it in Gospel Topics essays but frames it as Joseph using his “gift” from God, which he later sanctified for religious purposes.
Modern LDS View:
The Church downplays or reinterprets this aspect of Joseph’s life, preferring to present him as a simple, uneducated farm boy called by God.
Critics argue that folk magic is the cultural soil from which Mormonism grew — not ancient Christianity restored, but 19th-century American occultism mixed with the Bible.
This remains one of the strongest historical arguments that the Book of Mormon and early LDS practices have 19th-century origins rather than ancient ones.

@BrysonGray So.
How many times do I get to not obey and still get salvation?
Is it a percentage thing? I hope?!?
Where’s the percentage?
In James? 1 John? Hebrews?
Help!!!

@TysonTestimony @Ch_JesusChrist Mormons either don’t know their own history, or more likely, have to suppress it.
Joseph Smith and his family were known locally in Palmyra/Manchester, New York, as “money diggers” — people who used magical practices to search for buried treasure.
And Proxy Sealings? Bizarre.
English

Precisely.
Mormons are incredibly insecure about their religion because they all know Joseph Smith was a folk magician.
He and his family were known locally in Palmyra/Manchester, New York, as “money diggers” — people who used magical practices to search for buried treasure.
That would make me a little nervous too.

@GrandpaJoeSux When idiots misrepresent Christianity, it doesn't bother me and it doesn't send me running for a tragedy to wave about like a talisman to ward off criticism.
English

Let's try this out:
"You're not a Christian! You think that Jesus needs to be convinced to love and bless us by his mother or his friends in heaven"
Or
"You're not a Christian! You used abstract concepts from Plato and Aristotle to define God, not the Bible."
Or
"You're not a Christian! You believe that Jesus went to a different dimension in space/time like an alien after ascending"
Doesn't feel good to have your beliefs misrepresented, does it?

English

@temppreacher @TheRoyalSerf There are people who have joined the LDS to follow Jesus not knowing all of the 19th century occultism that’s in their Church.
Much less reading the Book of Mormon.
Mormons don’t lead with Proxy Sealings and the like.
So, many people leave the LDS FAST.
English

@TheGermanicist The government also forced Mormons to stop all the polygamy nonsense, and so the Church of Latter Day Saints complied (even though it took two Manifestos).
Nonetheless, the government just threw y’all a bone with a wink and a nod.
“Remember the polygamy stuff?”

English

It is affirmed by the government: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is, indeed, Christian.
What’s more, it is affirmed by Jesus Christ that His New Testament Church restored is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Come and see. churchofjesuschrist.org.

I agree with this statement, and am grateful to @SecWar Hegseth for correcting the error: “The Pentagon’s job is not to adjudicate theological debates, but instead to ensure sincerely-held faith is respected and encouraged in our ranks.”
English

@Thatbrian @SenMikeLee Mormonism is 19th-century American occultism mixed with the Bible.
English

I bet @SenMikeLee is sorry he brought up his Mormon cult. now that everyone has become informed regarding the Mormon’s anti Christian doctrine.

So you admit Joseph Smith was a prophet...

You can't make this stuff up.

@j_arthur_bloom Senator Mike Lee has publicly defended his great-great-grandfather, John D. Lee, by describing him as a “scapegoat.”
Fact.
English

Sen. Lee's great great grandfather John D. Lee was executed for his role in the Mountain Meadows massacre. He promised safe conduct to settlers who were then murdered.

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?
English

@GrandpaJoeSux There is zero biblical precedent for doing baptisms or eternal marriage sealings for the dead or post-death salvation.
Joseph Smith was a folk magician and explains the sorcery, and the use of physical rituals, special clothing, gestures, and objects in LDS temples.

@retrob4u You don’t think those who died without knowledge of Christ deserve the opportunity to accept Him?
Bizarre.
English

Obviously, the existence of our church is a massive threat to the "Christian" establishment.
Their entire foundation is built upon the Nicene Creed which is what formalized the doctrine of the Trinity.
We consistently destroy arguments for both and they hate us for it. We point out that their foundations are based on tradition, NOT the Bible.
What shocks me, is the fact that we agree with these people on 87% of everything else across politics and culture.
We don't go after their churches because we know we are all on the same side, or at least we should be. We know the actual enemy is Satan and his servants (Communists and Democrats).

@Joshua_the_car Why?
Shouldn’t Chaplains know about this type of Mormon marriage?
English

@retrob4u Did I cover proxy sealings while talking about military chaplains…? No

@jefflynch967 @Beard_oh Imagine getting to the Celestial Kingdom and you were Proxy Sealed to Mitt Romney or Mike Lee or anyone for that matter!!!
English

@retrob4u @Beard_oh Meanwhile, back in Christianity, Jesus says there is no marriage in heaven. (Mt 22:30.) Which is why for centuries the Christian marriage vows say “til death do us part.” And widows person are free to remarry. So Mormons rush to marry (seal) many dead people while on Earth.
