Mormonism teaches a different gospel—one that requires temple ordinances, obedience to laws, and modern prophets. Could Paul’s warning about “another gospel” apply to Mormonism today?

People join Mormonism for different reasons, and also leave for different reasons, but leaving is usually difficult no matter what the motive.

Although the LDS Church no longer practices plural marriage, polygamy is deeply embedded in LDS history with effects that remain to this day.

Temples have a central role in the LDS Church, implying that Mormonism reflects the practices of the Bible. Yet Mormon temples bear no resemblance to the biblical temple.

Latter-day Saints have several practices that set them apart from others. Some of these have biblical support while others do not.

Joseph Smith claimed that the Book of Mormon is the most correct book ever written, but too many elements of the book don’t match the time and place where it supposedly took place.

The Book of Mormon claims to be an ancient book of scripture, but can it stand the test? Evidence from archaeology, DNA, and literary analysis say, “No.”
