The Lie is Begining to Fail
August 5th, 2005 by Carl Thomas.Not only are the Mormons losing ground worldwide to the Pentecostals, they are losing ground in their “new zion,” Utah.
I wish the two movements would combine and the Mormons would get saved and become Pentecostals. That would be cool.
Unfortunately, it looks like they are more Hindu than Christian.
The LDS Church’s doctrines of premortal existence and eternal progression, Beckstead told a forum at the Sunstone Symposium in Salt Lake City earlier this week, are remnants of Smith’s original ideas about soul rebirth - a doctrine he cautiously taught trusted followers after 1841.
The Mormon founder’s understanding of the concept may have been shaped by Alexander Neibaur, great-grandfather of revered LDS scholar Hugh Nibley. A Jewish convert to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Neibaur was an ardent student of the Kabbalah, a body of mystical teachings based on an esoteric reading of Hebrew Scriptures.
Yeah . . . whatever.
