Mormonism is Freemasony

From the 1820s on, Joseph Smith, the first leader of the Latter-Day Saints, experienced visions through which he learned that all existing religions were wrong and that some golden plates covered with inscriptions contained a new revelation. source: Malcolm Bull & Keith Lockhart , Seeking a Sanctuary: Seventh-day Adventism and the American Dream (p. 233)

Joseph Smith's story sounds a lot like that of Muhammad. They both hooked up with an angel of light in a deep, dark cave. I am sure that Smith, being a Freemason new all about and most likely worshipped Lucifer.

2 Corinthians 11:14  And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

The Apostle Paul warned us that many would come spreading lies and false teaching and bearing a "new" Gospel:

2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4  For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

The Mormons also preach another Jesus.

While serving as an Apostle with the LDS church, Spencer W.  Kimball made this statement about Jesus:

There is another power in this world forceful and vicious. In the wilderness of Judaea, on the temple's pinnacles and on the high mountain, a momentous contest took place between two brothers, Jehovah and Lucifer, sons of Elohim. source:  Annual conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Volume 134, Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Deseret Sunday School Union Jan 1, 1964

Kimball went on to become the twelfth president of the LDS Church, so his teaching that Satan and Jesus are brothers cannot be shrugged off as fringe. Kimball let the cat out of the bag is what happened.

And from the Mormon Doctrine and Covenants 93:

21 And now, verily I say unto you, I was in the beginning with the Father, and am the Firstborn;

22 And all those who are begotten through me are partakers of the glory of the same, and are the church of the Firstborn.

23 Ye were also in the beginning with the Father; that which is Spirit, even the Spirit of truth;

29 Man was also in the beginning with God. Intelligence, or the light of truth, was not created or made, neither indeed can be.

This appears to have been taken from Romans 8:29:

For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

The Mormons have taken a Biblical statement that is a metaphor and twisted it into a doctrine stating that Jesus is a being no different from man other than being the first to be incarnated. The Mormons also state that Jesus was not always God, but "became" God:

He is the first born of the Father. By obedience and devotion to the truth he attained that Pinnacle of intelligence which ranked him as a God, as the Lord Omnipotent, while yet in his pre-existent state. source Bruce McKonkie, Mormon Doctrine (p. 129)

The Mormons say that Jesus evolved into a God, but the Scriptures disagree:

Hebrews 13:8  Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Orson Pratt, the brother of Mitt Romney's great-great-grandfather, was among the many Mormon teachers who stated that Jesus was the product of the sexual union of God the Father and Mary:

The Father and Mother of Jesus, according to the flesh, must have been associated together in the capacity of Husband and Wife...as God was the first husband to her, it may be that He only gave her to be the wife of Joseph while in this mortal state, and that He intended after the resurrection to again take her as one of his own wives to raise up immortal spirits in eternity. source: Orson Pratt, Religious Truths Defined, Vol. 1 (p. 158)

The Mormon false teachers are really exposing how little they respect their followers with such teachings, because every child should know what Jesus himself said in regard to such foolishness:

Mark 12:18 ¶ Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying, 19  Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man’s brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 20  Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. 21  And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise. 22  And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also. 23  In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.  24  And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? 25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

Freemason devil worshipper Brigham Young just could not help himself from slandering Jesus:

When the Virgin Mary conceived the child Jesus, the Father had begotten him in his own likeness and blood. He was not begotten of the Holy Ghost. source: Brigham Young, Religious Truths Defined, Vol. 1 (p. 50)

I cannot help myself from calling Brigham Young a liar and the Bible supports my thesis:

Matthew 1:18  Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

Matthew 1:20  But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.  

Current Mormon teachings contain wiggle room and plausible deniability, so as to not scare off the leery. They want to convert Bible believing Christians and so they use subtlety and equivocation regarding teachings such as these.

Failed prophecies usually go hand in hand with false teaching and we can point to a few of these in Mormon history:

Along with Jehovah's Witnesses and Seventh Day Adventists, Joseph Smith predicted that the Second Coming of Christ would occur in the latter part of the nineteenth century. In his History of the Church, Smith taught that the Second Coming would occur between 1890 and 1891. In 1835 he declared that Christ's return would occur 56 years later, and in1843 that it would occur in 58 years. Smith claimed that the generation then living would not die "till Christ comes." source: John Ankerberg & John Weldon, Fast Facts® on Mormonism (p.48)

The true reason for the false teaching of Mormonism is not due to any honest mistake. It is because Mormonism is Freemasonry and like Freemasonry, Mormonism has an outer court, inner court and holy of holies behind the veil - these three terms are the occult classifications for what is revealed and to whom. To be blunt, they lie to the public about what they truly believe and what they actually worship. They also lie to their members. Only the innermost circle knows the whole truth. This hard core is Illuminati connected.

The Freemasons made great strides into Protestantism in the 19th century. We saw in Seventh Day Adventist And Jehovah's Witnesses Freemasonry and Egyptian Satanism Connection that the founder of Adventism, William Miller, was a Freemason. Knowing that he could not hide his past, he renounced his association with Freemasonry, but his false prophecies prove that he continued to be one. But was Mormonism also connected to Freemasonry?

Their church order consists of the priesthood, divided into two parts, the Melchisedecian and the Aaronic; bishops, apostles, priests, elders and teachers. They have councils and tribunals for the settlement of doctrines. Truth is made dependent upon a council, and not a revelation, contrary to their doctrine of "daily revelation," and showing that all their revelations are not considered by them infallibly true. The mysteries of their temple form the third branch of their disciplinary platform, or ecclesiastical polity. No Mormon is perfect until he has passed through the sacred mysteries. To receive all these doctrines without examination constitutes a Mormon's faith and to pass through their ordinances, and be initiated into their temple mysteries or freemasonry, constitutes a perfect Mormon. The boldness of its advocates terrifies the ignorant, the weak and the superstitious.source: T. W. P. Taylder & Joseph Smith [not "the" Joseph Smith] , The Mormon's Own Book, Or, Mormonism Tried by Its Own Standards (pps. 80,81)

Mormonism contains degrees of a sort just like Freemasonry. The Bible teaches that we are all members of the same body having different offices. The Bible also teaches that the last shall be first. It says nothing about progressing upward, as Freemasonry and Mormonism teach. The Bible certainly does not teach the love of cold hard cash that Mormons hold so dear. Who took control of Howard Hughes' estate in his latter years? You can read for yourself about Frank Gay and his "Mormon Mafia" that are believed by many to have plundered billions from the Hughes estate. Some say that Bain Capital would not exist were it not for the billions plundered from the Hughes Medical Institute. How Gay is that? 

Mormons must pass through an initiation that includes "sacred mysteries," yet Jesus never tried to lure men in with secret knowledge or any sort of mystery:

John 18:20 I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.

Mormons must accept certain doctrines without question, yet Paul praised the Bereans:

Acts 17:11  These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

Of course the Mormons do not want you to question them, because they lie. But none of these points have yet proven the masonic connection. As it turns out, proving the Mormon/Masonic connection is an easy task. They admit it:

The celebrated Mormon prophet, Joseph Smith, was instrumental in obtaining a dispensation from the Grand Lodge of Illinois, to establish a Lodge at Navoo and very soon the applicants were so numerous that the prophet was left to the choice of losing the fees of a great number, or of making them in gangs, he promptly chose the latter course; and, if we are not mistaken, his habit was to initiate one or two dozen at a time, not one in ten of whom was ever instructed, or Masonically knew anything of the degree. The Grand Lodge very properly arrested the dispensation or charter, and pronounced those who were thus imperfectly made, to be clandestine, until they were healed. source: J.W.S. Mitchell, The History of Freemasonry and Masonic Digest [...] to which are Added the Old Charges and Ancient Regulations as Collated by Order of the Grand Lodge of England, in 1722, Volume 2 (p. 529) 1859

Joseph Smith, Brigham Young and John Taylor were "Master Masons" when they came to Navoo. Joseph drove the elders into the order. He received a charter from the chief Lodge and had a fine Masonic Hall erected. Through Joseph's influence nearly all male Mormons became Masons in a very short time. Having succeeded in this, the prophet undertook to "restore the ancient order of things." A "revelation" put him in possession of a great secret, lost at the death of the architect of the temple of King Solomon. The organization of the endowments was the result of this restoration of the ancient order.

The Navoo Endowments consisted of a long series of ceremonies, with oaths and grips, and covenants and signs in the manner of the Utah Endowments. Hence, Mormonism is today nothing but Joseph's revised or restored Masonry. Joseph made great changes in the Masonic rites, so that there remained but little of the original. source: Wilhelm Wyl,  Joseph Smith, The Prophet, His Family And His Friends. A Study Based On Facts And Documents (pps. 268,269) 1886

It is a well documented fact that Joseph Smith was nothing more than a schemer and flim-flam man who made his first big strike with making Master Masons of throngs of men for a price. When that fell apart Smith simply reformatted his system and called it Mormonism. Aleister Crowley did the same thing that Joseph Smith did when he took the rites of Masonry and reapplied them to become the rites of the O.T.O.:

Theodor Reuss (1855–1923) collaborated with Kellner in creating O.T.O., and succeeded him as head of O.T.O. after Kellner's death. Under Reuss, charters were given to occult brotherhoods in France, Denmark, Switzerland, the U.S.A. and Austria. There were nine degrees, of which the first six were Masonic. source: O.T.O.

In 1917 Crowley rewrote the first three degrees of the O.T.O. because American Freemasons had complained that they were too similar to their own degrees. source: Francis King, Ritual magic in England: 1887 To The Present Day (p. 206)

To close this post let's look back to a verse from the top of the post:

2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

There is the key:  "the simplicity that is in Christ." Jesus is simple. Jesus is and always has been God. He came in the flesh and died for man. God in the flesh died and rose again. He shed his blood to wash away sin. Believe on him and you shall be saved. Nothing more and nothing less. And he did not even ask the thief on the cross for a tithe to enter paradise.But without tithes men cannot make monuments to themselves.

Proverbs 15:25  The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
