You should talk with Glenn Beck about his Mormonism. That would be an interesting conversation.

Jeff, love your work brother. Thanks for your assistance in helping to pull me from the Mormon corp into Biblical christianity! God bless you sir.

You mention worship of just 3 Gods of this earth in Mormonism...lets not forget about our heavenly mother, which makes the total 4. And that begs the question, does she have a separate and distinct holy ghost, or does she work through the Holy Ghost of the father and son? And does she have separate daughter like unto Jesus? Maybe this was Mary Magdalene, who Mormons speculate was one of Jesus' wives, which would bring the total up to 6 Gods?

And of course you can always delve from there into the "infinate line of Gods" who were the predesessors of our God, and the infinite line that will go after Him, according to Mormonism...so, infinite Gods, ultimately.

God chastised me and showed me how I was worshiping in false gods in the LDS Church.  How:
1. I believed I could be a god/goddess in the next life. That I would have my own world, and with my husband populate it with our own children.
The Bible says; "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." I believe that includes myself.
2.  I practiced in a pagan ritual which taught me a different way to cross the veil into heaven instead of Christ. (temple endowment)  The whole ceremony is about learning the tokens, signs, and key phrases one needs to present at the veil and upon doing so can now "enter into the presence of God."  This whole ceremony is like idol worship for it takes away from the true way on how one receives eternal life, Christ.
The veil was torn when Christ died. Matt. 27:50-51, Hebrews 10:19-21

I found it ironic that the major LDS dating site, where Mormons are seeking a celestial mate, is called LDS planet!

Being someone who knows Mormons and their doctrine, Your analysis is not very accurate. The argument that Mormons make where God states that there are none before or after him being related to idoltry does not fall apart the way you say. They believe that any deification of persons or idols other than the God of Abraham are false gods. Whether you believe this or not, It is a logical argument. There is more scripture to support this also. You just selectively pick out certain scriptures to make your case seem stronger. Also, Mormons don't believe in "three gods" as you say. They believe in the god head which are God the father, his son Jesus Christ, and the holy ghost/spirit. God and Christ are essentially seen as equals in their purpose, that Jesus acts as the representative for God, and the Holy Ghost is simply a guiding influence for humanity.

At some point the practicing Mormon has to realize that they are living and worshipping a spiritual lie. At that point they have two choices. Keep on worshiping the Lie, or leave the LDS and repent. I wonder how many chose to remain in the lie.

Anyone else find James and Jeff's fetish for Mormon assault a bit odd? I know those who follow their heretical religion often study how to attack JW's, SDA's, and Mormons. Why? God will find no favor in you as His grace is sufficient. If you're purpose is to bring Christ to others - why limit yourself? The gospel is to go to ALL people. Preached in love, not hate. Why this fetish? And if you demand to focus on one group - why not Muslims who make up 24% of the world population? Or even atheists who are at 7%. Targeting and attacking a religion that makes up less than 1% of the population (Mormons 0.2%, SDA's ~0.4%, JW's ~0.1), is disturbing and makes me question your sincerity.

I just watched a film on the life of Joseph Smith. What a fantastic man! One of the best men with mighty power and the spirit. Here's what other people had to say about him that actually knew him personally:
Brigham Young, the second President of the Church: “I feel like shouting, hallelujah, all the time, when I think that I ever knew Joseph Smith, the Prophet whom the Lord raised up and ordained, and to whom he gave keys and power to build up the kingdom of God on earth and sustain it. These keys are committed to this people, and we have power to continue the work that Joseph commenced.”

Eliza R. Snow, the general president of the Relief Society from 1866 to 1887: “In the cause of truth and righteousness—in all that would benefit his fellow man, his integrity was as firm as the pillars of Heaven. He knew that God had called him to the work, and all the powers of earth and hell combined, failed either to deter or divert him from his purpose. With the help of God and his brethren, he laid the foundation of the greatest work ever established by man—a work extending not only to all the living, and to all the generations to come, but also to the dead.

“He boldly and bravely confronted the false traditions, superstitions, religions, bigotry and ignorance of the world—proved himself true to every heaven-revealed principle—true to his brethren and true to God, then sealed his testimony with his blood.”

Bathsheba W. Smith, the general president of the Relief Society from 1901 to 1910: “I know him to be what he professed to be—a true prophet of God, and the Lord through him restored the everlasting gospel and every ordinance and endowment that will lead us into the celestial kingdom.”

Wilford Woodruff, the fourth President of the Church: “I have felt to rejoice exceedingly in what I saw of Brother Joseph, for in his public and private career he carried with him the Spirit of the Almighty, and he manifested a greatness of soul which I had never seen in any other man.”

Daniel D. McArthur, an early Church member who later led one of the first handcart companies to Salt Lake City: “My testimony is that he was a true Prophet of the living God; and the more I heard his sayings and saw his doings the more I was convinced that he had of a truth seen God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ, as also the holy angels of God. … It always seemed to me that if I ever did know anything on this earth I surely knew that he was a Prophet.”

Alexander McRae, one of those imprisoned in Liberty Jail with Joseph Smith: “Such was our confidence in [Joseph Smith] as a Prophet, that when he said, ‘Thus saith the Lord, ’ we were confident it would be as he said; and the more we tried it, the more confidence we had, for we never found his word to fail in a single instance.”

Lyman O. Littlefield, a member of Zion’s Camp: “The whole energies of his soul were absorbed in the glorious latter-day work to which he had been called by his Divine Master.”

Mary Alice Cannon Lambert, an English convert who emigrated to Nauvoo in 1843: “I first saw Joseph Smith in the Spring of 1843. When the boat in which we came up the Mississippi River reached the landing at Nauvoo, several of the leading brethren were there to meet the company of saints that had come on it. Among those brethren was the Prophet Joseph Smith. I knew him the instant my eyes rested upon him, and at that moment I received my testimony that he was a Prophet of God. … He was not pointed out to me. I knew him from all the other men, and, child that I was (I was only fourteen) I knew that I saw a Prophet of God.”

Angus M. Cannon, a Church member who lived in Nauvoo as a youth and later became a stake president in Salt Lake City: “On one occasion especially do I remember Brother Joseph as he addressed an assembly of the Saints, in the spring of 1844. It was under some large oak trees, in a hollow south of the Temple, near to Parley street. He was discoursing upon the fact that God, in establishing His Church, had provided that only one man was authorized, of God, to receive revelations that should be binding upon the Church. … It was on this same occasion that I heard the Prophet declare he had received the Melchizedek Priesthood, under the administration of Peter, James and John.

“The impression created upon my young mind in the inspired utterances of Joseph Smith has accompanied me throughout my subsequent life; and when darkness would otherwise have beclouded my mind, his testimony has come up vividly before me, giving me evidence that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been established and governed by the manifest power and authority of God.”

Hyrum Smith, the Prophet’s brother and the Patriarch to the Church: “There were prophets before, but Joseph has the spirit and power of all the prophets.”

Jeff and these men know it's true. That's why they work so hard to attack it more than any other religion.

Speaking of idols, what's that graven image above your head? Acts 17:29

3 Mormons disagree with this analogy, ironic!!

one God per galaxy. there are billions of stars in the milky way. That means each star has a medium to high probability of having a solar system with life like ours on it. The milky way... it is so huge we can not understand it, our brains can't understand the size of the milky way.

then take that to the next level... now we know that there are millions of milky way type galaxies out there. If not billions. Makes sense to me
