After talking to a Mormon Missionary I made a Tract to give to Mormons.

 

When I spoke with a Mormon missionary, he encouraged me to pray and trust my feelings to know if the LDS Church was true, citing James 1:5 and their own scriptures. However, the Bible warns against relying solely on feelings (Proverbs 14:12) and instead urges us to test all teachings by Scripture (Acts 17:11, 1 Thessalonians 5:21). The LDS Church claims the Bible is only true “as far as it is translated correctly,” yet offers no evidence of mistranslation, and often dismisses its own early leaders’ teachings when they conflict with current doctrine.

 

Christianity, by contrast, is rooted in historical evidence and eyewitness testimony. The apostles, who saw the risen Christ, never recanted their testimony, even under threat of death (2 Peter 1:16-19). Jesus himself pointed to his works and resurrection as evidence (John 10:38, John 20:27-29). The Bible has withstood centuries of scrutiny and remains historically and archaeologically reliable.

 

The Book of Mormon, on the other hand, lacks archaeological support. The Doctrine and Covenants contains failed prophecies. Those who claimed to be witnesses of the Golden Plates supposedly translated into the Book of Mormon left the church and doubted their own testimonies. The LDS concept of many gods contradicts both the Bible (Isaiah 43:10, 44:8) and even the Book of Mormon itself (Alma 11:29).

 

Faith in Christ is not blind; it is reasonable and supported by evidence. We are called to examine claims, not just accept them on feelings alone. I am grateful that Christianity invites both faith and reason, and I encourage all to test every teaching by the Word of God, as even LDS leaders have challenged: “Take up the Bible, compare the religion of the Latter-Day Saints with it and see if it will stand the test.” (Brigham Young)
