In this section you will find even more teaching of the LDS church that do not line up with God's Word.

LDS doctrine teaches that Adam was/is God
(LDS doctrine) Journal of Discourses, vol. 1, pp.50-51, He (Adam) is Michael, the Archangel, the Ancient of Days…He (Adam) is our Father and our God, and the only God with whom we have to do.
Millennial Star (was replaced by Ensign in 1970), vol. 16, p.530, Elder James A. Little confessed:"I believe in the principle of obedience; and if I am told that Adam is our Father and our God, I just believe it."
Millennial Star,vol.15, p. 801 (1853) Editorial,Adam is really God.
Millennial Star,vol.15, p. 825 (1853) Editorial, "It has been said that Adam is the God and Father of the human family."
Millennial Star,vol.16, p. 482 (1854) Conference Report, "Polygamy has been gotten over pretty well ... but they are troubled about Adam being our Father and God."
Millennial Star,vol.16, p. 534 (1854) Franklin D. Richards, "Adam is our Father and God ... the Prophet and Apostle Brigham has declared it, and that it is the word of the Lord."
Wilford Woodruff Diary, vol. 4, p. 129 (April 9, 1852)Wilford Woodruff 4th President, Adam is Michael or God.
Wilford Woodruff Diary, vol. 6, p. 381 (December 16, 1867) Wilford Woodruff, Joseph also taught Adam-God.
Women of Mormondom, p. 179 (1877) Edward Tullidge, "Adam is our Father and God. He is the God of the earth. So says Brigham Young."
This was taught until 1976 when President Spencer W. Kimball said in Conference Report, p. 115 (October 1-3, 1976), Teaching the truth "We warn you against the dissemination of doctrines which are not according to the scriptures and which are alleged to have been taught by some of the General Authorities of past generations. Such, for instance, is the Adam-God theory. We denounce that theory and hope that everyone will be cautioned against this and other kinds of false doctrine.
So in this statement, Kimball is ether trying to cover up the Adam-God doctrine, or he did not know the history of his own religion. In Kimball’s statement, he states that the Adam-God doctrine is false. So does this mean that Brigham Young and all of the past presidents were false teachers?
What the Bible teaches
(The Bible) Genesis 3:9, And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, where art thou? (If the Adam God doctrine was true, why would God be looking for himself?)

Journal of Discourses Vol. 3 p. 109,Do you suppose I shall run after them? No. Will they be saved? Yes, they will, but they will be saved. As I have told you, many of this people will; they will first go to hell and remain there until the corruption, with which they are impregnated is burnt
[p. 109b] out; and the day will yet come when they will come to me and acknowledge me as their savior, and I will redeem them and bring them forth from hell to where I live and make them my servants; and they will be quite willing to enter into my service.

Journal of Discourses Vol. 19 p. 229, Calling upon the servants of God to rise up and build Temples, magnify their calling and redeem their dead…..I straightway went into the baptismal font and called upon brother McCallister to baptize me for the signersof the Declaration of Independence, andfifty other eminent men, making one hundred in all, including John Wesley, Columbus, and others; I then baptized him for every President of the United States, except three; and when their cause is just, somebody will do the work for them. I have felt to rejoice exceedingly in this work of redeeming the dead.
Journal of Discourses Vol.8 p.222,I doubt whether it can be found, from the revelations that are given and the facts as they exist, that there is a female in all the regions of hell.

Hebrews4:12,For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (God looks at the person actions, thoughts and intentions, not what another man does in his place. Salvation is between the Lord and that person. Jesus is the mediator not anybody else.)

LDS doctrine teaches that God is not eternal
Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 345, God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens!!! . . . We have imagined that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea and take away the veil, so that you may see.
Mormon Doctrine, p. 250, According to revelation, however, he [God] is a personal being, a holy and exalted man, a glorified, resurrected [who was once dead]. Personage having a tangible body of flesh and bones [not a Spirit], an anthropomorphic entity, the person Father [not Creator] of the spirits of all men.
Joseph Smith, History of the Church, vol. 6, p. 476, Heber C. Kimball, Journal of Discourses, vol. 5, p. 19, God the Father had a Father.

LDS doctrine teaches that Jesus had several wives
The LDS church taught that Jesus had several wives. The LDS Church also practiced polygamy until the United States government forced them to abandon the practice.
Journal of Discourses, Vol. 2, Pg. 210, LDS Apostle Orson Hyde said, "Jesus Christ was married at Cana of Galilee, that Mary, Martha, and others were his wives, and that he begat children."
Journal of Discourses, Vol. 4, Pg. 259, There was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and on a careful reading of that transaction, it will be discovered that no less a person than Jesus Christ was married on that occasion."
Journal of Discourses, Vol. 1, Pg. 346, LDS Prophet, Brigham Young stated, "The grand reason of the burst of public sentiment in anathemas upon Christ and his disciples was evidently based on polygamy... A belief in the doctrine of plurality of wives caused the persecution of Jesus and his followers."
Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 2, pg 67. Joseph said, “My wives will be mine in eternity.”
LDS President and Prophet Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 11, p. 269, August 19, 1866."The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those who enter into polygamy. ...I heard the revelation on polygamy, and I believe it with all my heart and I know it is from God..."
DC 132:62, Can marry many women.
What the Bible teaches
1Timothy 3:2, A bishop (overseer, pastor, elder…) then must be blameless, the husband of one wife.
1Timothy 3:12, Let the deacons (a serving person) of the church be the husbands of one wife.
Paul taught in 62 AD that the leaders and servers of the church must only have one wife. Joseph Smith and his followers did not obey these scriptures. The LDS church will try and justify their history by saying they no longer practice polygamy (which is true.) They say, due to modern day revelation, they no longer practice polygamy even though it is still in there doctrine. Joseph Smith being the leader of the LDS church was told in the above scriptures to just have one wife. He disobeyed, and started a religion out of his own lust. Joseph Smith started a religion on false doctrine.

LDS doctrine teaches that your blood must atone for some sins
LDS doctrine teaches that the blood of Jesus, shed on the cross, was not good enough for some sins. They teach about the blood atonement. Those who commit these sins must be put to death by having their throats cut.
Journal of Discourses Vol.4 p.219-220, That he cannot attain to it without the shedding of his blood and also knows that by having his blood shed he will atone for that sin. He would be glad to have his blood shed…would not be satisfied nor rest until your blood should be spilled, that you might gain that salvation you desire. That is the way to love mankind.
Journal of Discourses Vol. 4 p.53-54, There are sins that men commit for which they cannot receive forgiveness in this world…. It is true that the blood of the Son of God was shed for sins through the fall and those committed by men, yet men can commit sins which it can never remit.
Doctrine and Covenants132:26, They shall be destroyed in this flesh (41)...If a man received a wife in the new and everlasting covenant, and if she be with another man, and I have not appointed unto her by the holy anointing, she hath committed adultery and shall be destroyed. (52) Emma Smith shall receive all Joseph Smith’s wives or she will be destroyed. Also verses 54, 63 and 64.
Journal of Discourses vol.10 P.110, Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so.
Journal of Discourses vol. 3 p226, The time is coming when justice will be laid to the line and righteousness to the plummet; when we shall take the old broad sword and ask, “Are you for God?” and if you are not heartily on the Lord's side, you will be hewn down.
What the Bible teaches
Jeremiah 7:16, God tells Jeremiah not to pray for those people that continue to murder steal and commit adultery. God tells Jeremiah that they will be captive to their sins. God said he will not forgive them even if they ask for it. But Jesus came to lead captivity captive(Ephesians 4:8) freeing those who were captive in their sins (Luke 4:18) including murders, those who steal and commit adultery. Jesus is our ultimate sacrifice (1 Cor. 5:7, Heb10:12) freeing us from all sins (Eph. 1:7)

Closing
I know that this is a lot of data to receive, but it is the truth. The LDS church would say that the above is not doctrine, but the writing is in good standings with the church. This contradicts what the LDS founding fathers said, Joseph Smith stated: "God made Aaron to be the mouthpiece for the children of Israel, and He will make me be god to you in His stead" (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p.363). Brigham Young said: I have never yet preached a sermon and sent it out to the children of men, that they may not call Scripture (Journal of Discourses, vol. 13, p.95). How confusing?! The church knows that their history is wacky and they want to change it to make it sound good for themselves and others they wish to convert.
We know that the LDS church is false, because God does not change. He was the same yesterday, today and forever. As Christians, we are told to change our lives to fit God’s Word, not to change God’s word to fit our lives.

Millennial Star,vol.16, p. 534 (1854) Franklin D. Richards, "Adam is our Father and God ... the Prophet and Apostle Brigham has declared it, and that it is the word of the Lord."
Wilford Woodruff Diary, vol. 4, p. 129 (April 9, 1852)Wilford Woodruff 4th President, Adam is Michael or God.
Wilford Woodruff Diary, vol. 6, p. 381 (December 16, 1867) Wilford Woodruff, Joseph also taught Adam-God.
Women of Mormondom, p. 179 (1877) Edward Tullidge, "Adam is our Father and God. He is the God of the earth. So says Brigham Young."
This was taught until 1976 when President Spencer W. Kimball said in Conference Report, p. 115 (October 1-3, 1976), Teaching the truth "We warn you against the dissemination of doctrines which are not according to the scriptures and which are alleged to have been taught by some of the General Authorities of past generations. Such, for instance, is the Adam-God theory. We denounce that theory and hope that everyone will be cautioned against this and other kinds of false doctrine.
So in this statement, Kimball is ether trying to cover up the Adam-God doctrine, or he did not know the history of his own religion. In Kimball’s statement, he states that the Adam-God doctrine is false. So does this mean that Brigham Young and all of the past presidents were false teachers?
What the Bible teaches
(The Bible) Genesis 3:9, And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, where art thou? (If the Adam God doctrine was true, why would God be looking for himself?)

(10) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (11) For the scripture saith, whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

LDS doctrineteaches that Hell is only temporary and in some writings they say that Hell does not exist at all.
Journal of Discourses Vol. 3 p. 109,Do you suppose I shall run after them? No. Will they be saved? Yes, they will, but they will be saved. As I have told you, many of this people will; they will first go to hell and remain there until the corruption, with which they are impregnated is burnt
[p. 109b] out; and the day will yet come when they will come to me and acknowledge me as their savior, and I will redeem them and bring them forth from hell to where I live and make them my servants; and they will be quite willing to enter into my service.
What the Bible teaches

Journal of Discourses Vol. 19 p. 229, Calling upon the servants of God to rise up and build Temples, magnify their calling and redeem their dead…..I straightway went into the baptismal font and called upon brother McCallister to baptize me for the signersof the Declaration of Independence, andfifty other eminent men, making one hundred in all, including John Wesley, Columbus, and others; I then baptized him for every President of the United States, except three; and when their cause is just, somebody will do the work for them. I have felt to rejoice exceedingly in this work of redeeming the dead.
Journal of Discourses Vol.8 p.222,I doubt whether it can be found, from the revelations that are given and the facts as they exist, that there is a female in all the regions of hell.
What the Bible teaches

Hebrews4:12,For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (God looks at the person actions, thoughts and intentions, not what another man does in his place. Salvation is between the Lord and that person. Jesus is the mediator not anybody else.)

LDS doctrine teaches that God is not eternal
Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 345, God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens!!! . . . We have imagined that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea and take away the veil, so that you may see.
Mormon Doctrine, p. 250, According to revelation, however, he [God] is a personal being, a holy and exalted man, a glorified, resurrected [who was once dead]. Personage having a tangible body of flesh and bones [not a Spirit], an anthropomorphic entity, the person Father [not Creator] of the spirits of all men.
Joseph Smith, History of the Church, vol. 6, p. 476, Heber C. Kimball, Journal of Discourses, vol. 5, p. 19, God the Father had a Father.

LDS doctrine teaches that Jesus had several wives
The LDS church taught that Jesus had several wives. The LDS Church also practiced polygamy until the United States government forced them to abandon the practice.
Journal of Discourses, Vol. 2, Pg. 210, LDS Apostle Orson Hyde said, "Jesus Christ was married at Cana of Galilee, that Mary, Martha, and others were his wives, and that he begat children."
Journal of Discourses, Vol. 4, Pg. 259, There was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and on a careful reading of that transaction, it will be discovered that no less a person than Jesus Christ was married on that occasion."
Journal of Discourses, Vol. 1, Pg. 346, LDS Prophet, Brigham Young stated, "The grand reason of the burst of public sentiment in anathemas upon Christ and his disciples was evidently based on polygamy... A belief in the doctrine of plurality of wives caused the persecution of Jesus and his followers."
Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 2, pg 67. Joseph said, “My wives will be mine in eternity.”
LDS President and Prophet Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 11, p. 269, August 19, 1866."The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those who enter into polygamy. ...I heard the revelation on polygamy, and I believe it with all my heart and I know it is from God..."
DC 132:62, Can marry many women.
What the Bible teaches
1Timothy 3:2, A bishop (overseer, pastor, elder…) then must be blameless, the husband of one wife.
1Timothy 3:12, Let the deacons (a serving person) of the church be the husbands of one wife.
Paul taught in 62 AD that the leaders and servers of the church must only have one wife. Joseph Smith and his followers did not obey these scriptures. The LDS church will try and justify their history by saying they no longer practice polygamy (which is true.) They say, due to modern day revelation, they no longer practice polygamy even though it is still in there doctrine. Joseph Smith being the leader of the LDS church was told in the above scriptures to just have one wife. He disobeyed, and started a religion out of his own lust. Joseph Smith started a religion on false doctrine.

LDS doctrine teaches that your blood must atone for some sins
LDS doctrine teaches that the blood of Jesus, shed on the cross, was not good enough for some sins. They teach about the blood atonement. Those who commit these sins must be put to death by having their throats cut.
Journal of Discourses Vol.4 p.219-220, That he cannot attain to it without the shedding of his blood and also knows that by having his blood shed he will atone for that sin. He would be glad to have his blood shed…would not be satisfied nor rest until your blood should be spilled, that you might gain that salvation you desire. That is the way to love mankind.
Journal of Discourses Vol. 4 p.53-54, There are sins that men commit for which they cannot receive forgiveness in this world…. It is true that the blood of the Son of God was shed for sins through the fall and those committed by men, yet men can commit sins which it can never remit.
Doctrine and Covenants132:26, They shall be destroyed in this flesh (41)...If a man received a wife in the new and everlasting covenant, and if she be with another man, and I have not appointed unto her by the holy anointing, she hath committed adultery and shall be destroyed. (52) Emma Smith shall receive all Joseph Smith’s wives or she will be destroyed. Also verses 54, 63 and 64.
Journal of Discourses vol.10 P.110, Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so.
Journal of Discourses vol. 3 p226, The time is coming when justice will be laid to the line and righteousness to the plummet; when we shall take the old broad sword and ask, “Are you for God?” and if you are not heartily on the Lord's side, you will be hewn down.
What the Bible teaches
Jeremiah 7:16, God tells Jeremiah not to pray for those people that continue to murder steal and commit adultery. God tells Jeremiah that they will be captive to their sins. God said he will not forgive them even if they ask for it. But Jesus came to lead captivity captive(Ephesians 4:8) freeing those who were captive in their sins (Luke 4:18) including murders, those who steal and commit adultery. Jesus is our ultimate sacrifice (1 Cor. 5:7, Heb10:12) freeing us from all sins (Eph. 1:7)

I know that this is a lot of data to receive, but it is the truth. The LDS church would say that the above is not doctrine, but the writing is in good standings with the church. This contradicts what the LDS founding fathers said, Joseph Smith stated: "God made Aaron to be the mouthpiece for the children of Israel, and He will make me be god to you in His stead" (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p.363). Brigham Young said: I have never yet preached a sermon and sent it out to the children of men, that they may not call Scripture (Journal of Discourses, vol. 13, p.95). How confusing?! The church knows that their history is wacky and they want to change it to make it sound good for themselves and others they wish to convert.
We know that the LDS church is false, because God does not change. He was the same yesterday, today and forever. As Christians, we are told to change our lives to fit God’s Word, not to change God’s word to fit our lives.
(LDS doctrine) Journal of Discourses, vol. 1, pp.50-51, He (Adam) is Michael, the Archangel, the Ancient of Days…He (Adam) is our Father and our God, and the only God with whom we have to do.
