Top 20 objections

  1. 1Not Christian / a cultWe worship Jesus Christ. A nickname and extra scripture do not make a cult.
  2. 2A different JesusSame New Testament Jesus — Jehovah, born of Mary, crucified, risen. We refuse the later creeds, not the Gospels.
  3. 3Three Gods / no TrinityThe Bible shows three distinct persons who are one in will. That is the Godhead. The later creeds are not the Shema.
  4. 4God was once a manThe couplet is not an Article of Faith. They already worship a God who was a man — Jesus.
  5. 5Humans can become godsEarly Christians already taught we can become like God. Joint-heirs with Christ — not rivals who replace the Father.
  6. 6Jesus and Lucifer as brothersAll spirits are children of the Father. Jesus is Jehovah. Lucifer is a fallen angel. Origin is not equality.
  7. 7Bible not enough / extra scriptureJohn forbade tampering with his scroll, not with a Bible that did not exist yet. God still speaks.
  8. 8No evidence for the Book of MormonWrong demand. Witnesses, Old World hits, and a text that behaves like an ancient record. Proof is for math. Convergence is for history.
  9. 9The Great ApostasyHades did not get the last word. The church died like her Lord — and was raised. That is Matthew 16:18, not a contradiction of it.
  10. 10Grace vs worksSaved by grace. Judged by works. James is still in their Bible. 2 Nephi 25:23 in context is faith in Christ.
  11. 11Joseph Smith a false prophetDeuteronomy 18 has two sides. Count the hits. Character smears are not the biblical test.
  12. 12Polygamy / plural marriageAbraham, Jacob, Moses. Commanded, then withdrawn. The Church does not practice it. Hard history is not today’s handbook.
  13. 13First Vision accountsPaul told Damascus more than once. Joseph did too. The core never moves: he saw God and was called.
  14. 14Priesthood ban until 1978The restriction happened. The curse theories are disavowed. Official Declaration 2 is the current revelation.
  15. 15Temple, garments, secrecySacred is not sinister. Jesus taught the Twelve privately. Israel had a Holy of Holies. Garments are covenant clothing.
  16. 16Baptism for the deadPaul used it as evidence of resurrection. 1 Peter says the gospel was preached to the dead. We restored the ordinance.
  17. 17Changing doctrineActs 15 changed practice. Living prophets can too. The Atonement did not get rewritten. Policy is not the Messiah.
  18. 18Only true church / priesthood authorityKeys, not a claim that your neighbor is going to hell. D&C 1 already says collectively, not individually.
  19. 19Burning in the bosom / testimonyThe Spirit is not vs. evidence. Luke 24 already had hearts that burned while scripture opened. Moroni 10 is James 1 with a book in hand.
  20. 20Book of Abraham / the papyriJoseph bought two rolls plus fragments. Witnesses saw a long Abraham roll. The scraps recovered in 1967 are not that collection. The long roll was lost — most likely in the Chicago fire.
  21. 21Baptism & “what about the thief on the cross?”The thief is the door. John 3:5 is a requirement. Acts 19 rebaptizes sincere people when the line is wrong. Paradise that day was not the Father’s throne.
