Not an Anti-Mormon. I recently exchanged email messages with a “concerned Christian.” I’m posting the exchange here to demonstrate that not all people who oppose Mormonism are anti-Mormons. I think this man was quite sincere, though obviously very misguided. We Mormons need to do a better job of reserving the word “anti-Mormon” for those who are genuinely bigoted, […] (February 16, 2009)

Do the mormons of today not go by the guidelines and clear t eachings of their previous prophets? Do mormons lie about the clear teachings of mormonism? Can the LDS “prophets” just change all the teachings of original mormonism? Don’t the LDS state their gospel does not change? (January 17, 2009, 2 comments)

Recent Exchange with Richard Abanes. I recently had an interesting exchange with Richard Abanes, an “expert” on “world religions, cults, the occult, pop culture, and the entertainment industry.” Mr. Abanes wrote an excellent article that encourages Evangelicals to share their message with Mormons in a more Christian way. I commend him for his efforts. He did not accurately describe LDS […] (December 15, 2008)

Secret Recording from Inside a Mormon Chapel! Okay, I guess it’s not so secret, since weekly Mormon worship services are open to the public. In fact, it even says “Visitors Welcome” on the sign out front. Also, I’m pretty sure the leader of the congregation saw me carrying my recorder as I walked to the pulpit. He didn’t seem to object. I […] (December 1, 2008, 2 comments)

Is it true that Joseph Smith prophesied that Christ would re turn to earth in 1891? (History of the Church, vol. 2, page 182) Doesn’t the Bible teach that if a prophet utters a false prophecy, he’s not a real prophet at all? (October 30, 2008, 2 comments)
