Mormons claim to follow the same God and the same Jesus as Christians. They also state that their gospel comes from the Bible. But are they telling the truth? The God Makers, one of the most powerful books to penetrate the veil of secrecy surrounding the rituals and doctrines of the Mormon Church, reveals the inner workings and beliefs of Mormonism.

50 Problems With The Mormon Church

An informative rundown of Mormonism and “the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints” /  “LDS” in this 9:36 Minute video.

A follow up to “50 Problems With The Mormon Church.” The first video focused primarily on truth claims and the veracity of the Mormon church. This time, the focus is on Mormon morality. Sometimes people claim that the church is a great place to raise a family, regardless of its truth. It is my belief that the issues covered here offer a compelling counterpoint to that belief.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) has been subject to criticism since its inception.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the late 1820s, criticism centered around Joseph Smith stating he had been led to a set of golden plates from which he said the Book of Mormon was translated. In the 1830s, one of several criticisms was for Smith’s handling of a banking failure in Kirtland, Ohio. After the Mormons migrated west, there was fear and suspicion about the LDS Church’s political and military power in Missouri, culminating in the 1838 Mormon War and the infamous Mormon Extermination Order by Governor Lilburn Boggs. In the 1840s, criticism of the church centered on its theocratic aspirations in Nauvoo, Illinois. Criticism of the practice of plural marriage and other doctrines taught by Smith were published in the Nauvoo Expositor. Opposition led to a series of events culminating in the death of Smith and his brother while jailed in 1844.

As the church began openly practicing plural marriage under Brigham Young during the second half of the 19th century, the church became the target of nationwide criticism for that practice, as well as for the church’s theocratic aspirations in Utah Territory. Young introduced policies in 1852 that discriminated against black men and women of African descent which were not reversed until 1978.[1] Beginning in 1857, the church also came under significant media criticism after the Mountain Meadows Massacre in southern Utah.

Academic critics have questioned the legitimacy of Smith as a prophet as well as the historical authenticity of the Book of Mormon and the Book of Abraham. Criticism has expanded to include claims of historical revisionism, homophobia, racism, and sexist policies. Notable 20th-century critics include Jerald and Sandra Tanner and historian Fawn Brodie. Evangelical Christians continue to argue that Smith was either fraudulent or delusional.
