• Is Mormonism based on the Bible? Yes or No


• Is it also true that Joseph Smith Junior and Brigham Young taught that "As Man is, God once was; as God is, man may become." Yes or No


• Therefore God wasn't always God, there was a time when He was just a man, and he had to progress to become God? Yes or No

We read in Psalm 90:2, "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God."

• According to this verse, how long will God be God?


• According to this verse, how long has God been God?


• Doesn't Psalm 90:2 conflict with the teaching of the Latter-day Saints/Mormon Church that God wasn't always God, and was actually a man once? Yes or No


• Let us reconsider the statement, "As Man is, God once was; as God is, man may become." Doesn't that indicate that there were gods before our God, and there will be gods after our God? Yes or No

We read in Isaiah 43:10, "Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe and understand that I am He, before Me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me."

• How many gods have there been before and after our God?


• Does your God know everything? Yes or No


• Would your God know if other gods exist? Yes or No

Listen to what God has to say about this in Isaiah 44:8. "...Is there a God beside Me? Yea, there is no God, I know not any."

Let us return to the first question, "Is Mormonism based on the Bible?" We have looked at only one statement made by the Mormon Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr., and this statement is still part of Mormon doctrine today.

In Deuteronomy 13:1-5, we are given the test for a true prophet. It says if a prophet tells us to go after or follow a different God than the God of the Bible, then that prophet is a false prophet.

According to this Bible test, both the Mormon Doctrine and Joseph Smith, Jr., fail.

The God of the Bible is not an exalted man living on an imaginary planet near the starbase Kolob. There is no such place.

The God of the Bible says He wants to live in our hearts. See 1 John, 4:12-15.

• Who, then, is the God of the Latter-day Saints, the Mormon Church?


• Which God do you have dwelling in you?
