There are dramatic differences between the teachings of the LDS Church and the Bible. Many are shocked to learn that these differences actually have eternal consequences. We would encourage you to compare the teachings of Mormonism with the Bible.
We sincerely believe that the most loving thing we can do for you is to express our grave concerns that the teachings of Mormonism are not only leading you on a path away from God, but on a path leading you to outer darkness forever.
Our Invitation
We ask you to not just take our word for it, but take God at His Word. The Bereans were praised for investigating the truth by studying the Bible (Acts 17:11). We invite you to read the Bible as if reading it for the first time through the eyes of a child. Let God simply and clearly speak to your heart.
Consider its beautiful good news message. Jesus was born for you. He lived perfectly for you. He died for you. He rose for you. Jesus is your perfect substitute. There is nothing more for you to add. Jesus is enough!
Those who trust only in the perfect work of Jesus:
- Are enough in God's sight right now.
- Are forgiven of all their sins right now.
- Are perfect in Christ right now.
- Will live eternally with Heaven Father forever!
"You that believe on the name of the Son of God know that ye have eternal life" (1 John 5:13).
This is a transformational message!
The certainty of knowing how our story ends—especially knowing it doesn't depend on us—completely transforms our lives right now. Instead of burdens, we find rest (Matthew 11:28) Instead of guilt, we discover grace and peace (1 Peter 1:2).
Is it your desire to live eternally with Heavenly Father? Would you like to better understand Jesus' words so you can receive the full assurance and confidence of his promises? That is the Good News of Jesus Christ we desire you to know. More importantly, it is a message God wants you to know.
We would encourage you to discover what God says about sin and forgiveness, worthiness and perfection, grace and Jesus, along with the certainty of God's promises and eternal life. You can learn more at beyeperfect.org.
Where are you placing your hope?
Your job, your family or your good works? Heavenly Father has a better plan for you.
Why We Use "Mormon"
We sincerely love and respect you. This is why we still use the term "Mormon."
By Jesus' perfect work as your substitute, you are rescued!
Is Perfection Even Possible?
Did Jesus really overcome sin and death for us? What does that mean? How can we be sure of our worthiness?
Frequently Asked Questions
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints sends missionaries to proselytize to Christians even though Christians believe themselves to be saved. This missionary work is conducted because the LDS church believes that Christians lack essential truths and teachings necessary to inherit the kingdom of God.
LDS missionaries want everybody, even Christians who believe in Jesus to be saved, to have eternal life in the Celestial Kingdom, so they share their message with Christians. Members of the LDS faith also believe that the doctrines and beliefs of their church bring joy in this life.
Those are just two of the many reasons why we speak the truth in love to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and why we encourage others to speak the truth in love as well.
We believe that there is something that members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints lack to inherit the kingdom of God. Out of love, we want to share that with you. Moreover, we believe that a proper understanding of the Bible will bring more joy into your lives than you now have, and we want that for you as well.
We understand there are recent efforts within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to emphasize the use of the full name of the church and to deemphasize the use of the term “Mormon.”
Our continued use of “Mormon” and “Mormonism” is rooted first in love and second in practicality. We have provided a detailed response on our continued use of these terms in the following article: Why We Use “Mormon”
We agree that the Bible warns against being contentious. But the Bible also tells us to contend for the faith (Jude 3).
The root of the Greek word that Jude used is one from which our English word “agonize” is derived. The dictionary defines “contend” with words like strive, debate, assert, struggle and even argue. Contend involves more than having a pleasant, light conversation. It involves vigor and passion.
Jesus means everything to us. We are deeply passionate about what he has done for us and about the truth he has revealed in the Bible. We are also deeply concerned that the path of the teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and the path of the Bible lead people to two very different places – the LDS church leading people to outer darkness.
Because of our passion for Jesus, and our grave concern for the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we speak the truth in love.
