“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” — Jude 1:3-4 (KJV)
Part I: The Pantheon of Babylon — “Heavenly Mother” and the Spirit Families
The modern LDS Church presents itself as a wholesome, family-centric alternative to traditional Christianity. However, when you scrape away the suburban veneer from their doctrine of a “Heavenly Family,” you find the exact same pagan mystery religion that Israel constantly fell into throughout the Old Testament.
At the core of Mormon theology is the belief that God the Father (Elohim) is a physical, resurrected man who lives with a collection of celestial wives, producing billions of “spirit children” through eternal sexual procreation. The most prominent of these consorts is called Heavenly Mother.
This is nothing more than the reinvention of the Queen of Heaven—the ancient archetype of Ishtar, Ashtoreth, and Isis.

Pantheon of Lesser Gods Jesus, Lucifer, & Human Spirits
The Bible documents a relentless, thousands-of-years-old spiritual warfare between the true living God and this specific feminine counterfeit. Every single time Israel compromised with the surrounding cultures, they brought a “Divine Mother” into the temple alongside Yahweh. Joseph Smith did the exact same thing in the 1840s.
During the time of the prophet Jeremiah, the Israelites had completely abandoned the true God to worship this feminine deity, whom they called the “Queen of Heaven.” God describes their worship in the King James Bible as a deeply sentimental, family-driven cult:
“The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.” — Jeremiah 7:18 (KJV)
When Jeremiah confronted them and told them that their nation was being destroyed by Babylon because of this idolatry, the people openly rebelled, showing just how deeply this feminine deity concept grips the human heart when people reject the true God:
“But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven… For then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil. But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven… we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.” — Jeremiah 44:17-18 (KJV)
The theological mechanics between the ancient pagan view of Ishtar and the Mormon view of Heavenly Mother are virtually identical:
| Attribute | Ancient Paganism (Ishtar / Ashtoreth) | Mormonism (Heavenly Mother) |
| The Role | The consort/wife of the chief god (Baal or El) who requires a female partner to govern. | The companion and wife of Elohim, without whom he cannot possess the power of “eternal increase.” |
| Fertility & Origin | Mother of the gods and the source of all earthly fertility and spiritual life. | The literal procreator of all human spirits, Jesus, and Lucifer in the premortal realm. |
| The Appeal | Appeals to human sentimentality regarding motherhood, nature, and family balance. | Promoted as a beautiful, comforting doctrine of “divine feminine” equality. |
This doctrine is a direct attack on the unique, self-contained glory of God. The Bible explicitly states that God does not have a physical body that requires sexual reproduction to create things. He creates by the power of His spoken Word ($ex\ nihilo$—out of nothing). God reveals Himself in Scripture with masculine pronouns (Father, Son, Holy Ghost) because He stands outside of and over His creation as Initiator, King, and Judge. A “Mother Goddess” implies that God is dependent on a natural, biological process to achieve His goals.
Part II: The Ultimate Delusion — Becoming Gods
The ultimate goal of the Mormon religion is not to sit at the feet of Jesus and worship Him for eternity. The ultimate goal is Exaltation—the belief that righteous Mormon men will eventually become Gods themselves, inheriting their own planets, creating their own universes, and repeating the cycle of procreating spirit babies with their own harems of celestial wives.
This blasphemy is perfectly captured in the famous couplet coined by Smith’s successor, Lorenzo Snow:
“As man now is, God once was: As god now is, man may be.”
Mormonism teaches that God the Father was once a mortal sinner on an older earth who had to earn his way to godhood by obeying his heavenly father. This creates an infinite, regressive chain of gods, completely destroying the biblical truth of the One, True, Eternal God.
[ THE FALSE CHAIN OF EXALTATION ]
... ──► Past God ──► Elohim (Once a Man) ──► Faithful Mormon Man ──► Future Gods ...
This is not a new revelation; it is the oldest lie in human history. It is the exact whisper that the serpent used to deceive Eve in the Garden of Eden:
“For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.” — Genesis 3:5 (KJV)
When Joseph Smith told his followers they could become gods, he wasn’t restoring the ancient Christian Church. He was acting as a mouthpiece for the original deception of the Devil.
Part III: The Corruption and Defiance of God’s Finished Word
To install this polytheistic pantheon, Joseph Smith had to systematically tear down the authority of the Holy Scriptures. The Holy Spirit laid down an absolute border wall at the close of the biblical canon, explicitly warning against modifying His truth:
“For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” — Revelation 22:18-19 (KJV)
Mormonism violates both sides of this command on a massive, structural scale. They operate on the doctrine of “continuous revelation,” claiming the Bible is incomplete and corrupted. To back this up, they added three volumes of text to their canon, placing them above the Bible: The Book of Mormon, The Doctrine and Covenants, and The Pearl of Great Price (the latter containing the “Book of Abraham,” which modern Egyptologists have proven was entirely fabricated from common pagan Egyptian funeral papyri).
幕後黑手 Even their own articles of faith contain a built-in theological trapdoor:
“We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly…” — LDS 8th Article of Faith
Whenever a King James Scripture clearly contradicts Mormon doctrine (such as Jesus stating there is no marriage in heaven, or God declaring He knows of no other gods), the Mormon simply claims the text was corrupted. Joseph Smith even created his own version of the Bible (The Joseph Smith Translation), where he literally deleted verses and added fabricated paragraphs—including a self-serving prophecy he wrote into the Book of Genesis predicting his own arrival as a prophet named Joseph.
The principle of not adding to or taking away from God’s established commands is repeated throughout the entire Bible:
“Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.” — Deuteronomy 4:2 (KJV)
“Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” — Proverbs 30:5-6 (KJV)
Part IV: The Sexual Predators of Nauvoo — Multiple Wives and Child Brides
While modern Mormonism attempts to hide its history of polygamy behind the locked doors of the 19th century, the historical record proves that Joseph Smith’s “restoration” was heavily driven by sexual exploitation disguised as divine mandate.
In July 1843, Smith recorded what is now Section 132 of the Doctrine and Covenants, commanding the practice of plural marriage (polygamy) as a requirement for the highest level of salvation. If a first wife refused to accept her husband taking additional women, the text explicitly stated she would be “destroyed.”
Joseph Smith did not just marry multiple adult women; he systematically preyed upon young girls and the wives of his own faithful disciples. Smith had between 30 and 40 wives.
The Realities of Smith’s Polygamy
- The Child Brides: Smith targeted teenagers who were completely dependent on his spiritual authority. Among his wives were Helen Mar Kimball, who was married to Smith at just 14 years old, and Nancy Winchester, who was also 14 or 15.
- The Polygamous Sisters: Smith married multiple sets of young sisters living in his home, including Emily and Eliza Partridge (ages 19 and 22) and Lucy and Lorna Walker.
- Polyandry (Stealing Wives): In direct violation of basic biblical morality, Smith practiced polyandry—marrying at least 11 women who were already legally married to other living men. In several cases, Smith sent faithful church elders away on foreign missionary trips, and while they were overseas, he secretly wedded their wives.
This was not a holy restoration; it was a highly organized system of spiritual coercion and sexual predation that shattered families and deeply traumatized young girls under the threat of eternal damnation.
The years between 1841 and 1844 in Nauvoo, Illinois, represented a period of intense theological dualism. While the public standard of the church strictly affirmed traditional monogamy, an intricate, underground system of plural marriages was being established in private upper rooms and secluded residences.
Below is the historical timeline tracking the progression of Joseph Smith’s secret sealings alongside the concurrent public denials issued to the general membership and the surrounding world.
The Secret Chronology of Nauvoo
The First Nauvoo Plural Marriage
April 5, 1841
Joseph Smith is privately sealed to Louisa Beaman by Bishop Louisa’s brother-in-law, Joseph Bates Noble, in a secluded location near the Mississippi River. Beaman is disguised as a man during the journey to avoid detection. This marks the formal operational launch of the secret system in Illinois.
The Systematic Expansion Begins
October 1841 — April 1842
Smith is secretly sealed to several prominent women in Nauvoo, including Zina Diantha Huntington (October 1841), who was already married to a faithful Latter Day Saint named Henry Jacobs, and Mary Elizabeth Rollins Lightner (February 1842), who was also legally married to a non-Mormon husband.
First Major Public Counter-Offensive
May 1842
Former high-ranking counselor John C. Bennett apostatizes and begins publishing exposing letters detailing “Spiritual Wifery” in Nauvoo. In direct response, Smith uses the church’s official newspaper, The Times and Seasons, to fiercely deny the charges, labeling them slanderous fabrications designed to destroy the reputation of the saints.
The Sealing of the Partridge Sisters
March — May 1843
Emily and Eliza Partridge are secretly sealed to Joseph Smith in March 1843 without the knowledge of his first wife, Emma. Later, in May, Emma temporarily consents to the practice under intense pressure and agrees to let Joseph marry four women. In a staged event to protect the secret, the Partridge sisters are married to Joseph again in Emma’s presence, pretending it is the first time.
The Recording of the Revelation
July 12, 1843
At the request of his brother Hyrum Smith, Joseph dictates the formal revelation on celestial marriage and polygamy to scribe William Clayton. Hyrum takes the written document to Emma Smith, believing he can convince her of its divine origin; Emma rejects it outright, resulting in a bitter confrontation. The document remains strictly hidden from the general public.
The Final Public Denials
February — May 1844
The public-facing machinery continues to issue absolute denials. In the February 1, 1844 edition of Times and Seasons, Hyrum Smith publishes a notice excommunicating a member for preaching polygamy, stating: “We give no allowance for any such doctrine.” In May 1844, Joseph Smith delivers a public sermon addressing rumors, stating: “What a thing it is for a man to be accused of committing adultery, and having seven wives, when I can only find one.”
The Flashpoint and Fatal Climax
June 1844
Dissident members purchase a printing press and publish the first and only issue of the Nauvoo Expositor on June 7, exposing the secret July 1843 revelation and the practice of polygamy among the leadership. Acting as Mayor, Joseph Smith orders the city council to declare the paper a public nuisance and destroy the press. This executive action triggers the legal and political crisis that leads directly to his arrest and assassination at Carthage Jail on June 27.
“If any man espouse a virgin, and desire to espouse another, and the first give her consent, and if he espouse the second, and they are virgins, and have vowed to no other man, then is he justified; he cannot commit adultery…” — Extract from the hidden July 12, 1843 Revelation (later canonized as LDS Doctrine & Covenants Section 132).
Part V: The Seven-Week Theft — The Masonic Plagiarism
When Joseph Smith hit a wall of intense legal and political opposition in 1842, he turned to a secular secret society to find a structural framework for his hidden activities. On March 15, 1842, Grand Master Abraham Jonas—seeking to secure the massive Mormon voting bloc for his own political ambitions—made Joseph Smith a “Master Mason on sight.”
Instead of the standard months of study and examination required to progress, Smith received the degrees in rapid succession over forty-eight hours:
- March 15, 1842: Initiated as an Entered Apprentice (1st Degree).
- March 16, 1842 (Morning): Passed to the degree of Fellow Craft (2nd Degree).
- March 16, 1842 (Afternoon): Raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason (3rd Degree).
The speed of this initiation was a scandal that outraged neighboring lodges, but Smith’s true objective became clear just seven weeks later. On May 4, 1842, Smith gathered an elite group into the upper room of his red brick store and introduced the LDS Temple Endowment ceremony.
He had completely plagiarized the theatrical and structural framework of European Masonry, transforming a secular fraternal ritual into the mandatory requirements for Mormon salvation.
The Stolen Elements and “Magic Underwear”
The physical items worn by Mormons today—officially called Temple Garments (disparagingly known as “magic underwear”)—are direct remnants of this Masonic theft. These white undergarments, which the church tightly controls and locks behind membership database checks, feature four distinct symbols embroidered directly into the fabric over vital areas of the body:
[ LEFT BREAST ] [ RIGHT BREAST ]
The Compass The Square
(Passions within (Morality and
bounds) Virtue)
│ │
â–¼ â–¼
[ THE ABDOMEN ] [ RIGHT KNEE ]
The Navel Mark The Knee Mark
(Physical health (Submission/
and marrow) Obedience)
Historically, early LDS leaders taught that these markings were placed over the vital organs to show exactly where a traitor’s body would be violently slashed open if they ever leaked the secret handshakes (Tokens) and gestures (Signs) to the outside world.
These handshakes are used today at a physical canvas curtain called “The Veil” inside Mormon temples, where members must recite secret passwords to a temple worker pretending to be God. They include:
- The First Token of the Aaronic Priesthood: Clasping hands and pressing the thumb over the first knuckle.
- The Second Token of the Aaronic Priesthood: Pressing the thumb between the first and second knuckles.
- The First Token of the Melchizedek Priesthood (Sign of the Nail): Pressing the forefinger directly into the center of the palm, mimicking a crucifixion nail.
- The Second Token of the Melchizedek Priesthood (The Patriarchal Grip): Interlocking little fingers and pressing the forefinger directly onto the center of the wrist.
Before a major 1990 corporate revision designed to clean up the church’s public image, members had to use their extended thumbs as metaphorical knives, drawing them across their own throats, breasts, and abdomens during the ritual to swear blood oaths of secrecy.
Part VI: The Fall of the Nauvoo Assembly Line
Once Joseph Smith had control of the Masonic ritual mechanics, he converted the Nauvoo Lodge into an absolute assembly line, initiating an unprecedented 286 men in its first five months alone—eventually expanding to over 1,500 members. They ran multiple sessions a day, completely ignoring the character checks and probationary periods that Masons held sacred.
The Grand Lodge of Illinois realized they had unlocked a monster they could not control. The relationship disintegrated with astonishing speed:
Dispensation Suspended
August 11, 1842
Just five months after making Smith a Master Mason, Grand Master Jonas was forced by intense pressure from furious Illinois lodges to suspend the Nauvoo Lodge’s dispensation due to rampant procedural violations.
Charters Revoked
October 3, 1843
Nineteen months after Smith first joined, the Grand Lodge of Illinois voted overwhelmingly to completely revoke the charters of Nauvoo and all neighboring Mormon-led lodges.
Permanent Expulsion
October 10, 1844
The Grand Lodge officially severed all fellowship, declaring the Nauvoo lodges “clandestine” (illegitimate) and permanently expelling and suspending all individual Mormon members from the fraternity.
Part VII: The Illusion of Wealth and Financial Fraud
On paper, Joseph Smith appeared to be an incredibly wealthy frontier mogul. He lived in a grand 22-room mansion, controlled the real estate of a massive city, and served as the sole Trustee-in-Trust for a global church.
However, his financial empire was a complete illusion. When he died, Joseph Smith was deeply in debt and functionally bankrupt.
The Financial Irregularities
- The Trustee-in-Trust Deficit: Smith routinely blurred the lines between church funds and personal wealth. When his financial clerk, William Clayton, audited the books immediately after Smith’s death, he discovered a highly deceptive ledger: the valuable assets were held by Joseph as trustee for the church, but the crushing, unpayable debts were held entirely in Smith’s personal name.
- Land Speculation and Default: Smith’s entire operation relied on buying massive tracts of swampy Illinois land completely on credit, then aggressively selling those parcels at highly inflated prices to poor, incoming immigrant converts. When he purchased a commercial steamboat (the Nauvoo) on credit from the U.S. Government, he defaulted entirely, prompting the U.S. District Attorney to file a massive federal lawsuit against him.
- Bankruptcy Fraud: By 1842, the financial walls had closed in so tightly that Smith officially filed for federal personal bankruptcy. However, his discharge was legally blocked. Investigations revealed that Smith had illegally transferred valuable land holdings into the names of his wife, Emma, and his children just days before filing, deliberately hiding assets from federal creditors.
When authorities emptied his pockets at Carthage Jail, the grand illusion vanished. They found no vast reserves, but merely $135 in coin, a gold ring, a pocket pen, and a single uncollectible fifty-dollar IOU. In January 1851, the state courts officially ordered a foreclosure on his remaining properties to satisfy a fraction of his raging creditors.
Part VIII: The Mountain Meadows Massacre — The Fruit of Blood Atonement
The ultimate historical manifestation of the Mormon system’s dark undercurrent did not happen in Illinois, but in the valleys of Utah under the iron-fisted rule of Brigham Young. This was the direct execution of the LDS doctrine of “Blood Atonement”—the fanatical belief that certain sins were so severe that the blood of Christ could not cleanse them; instead, the sinner’s physical throat had to be cut and their blood spilled upon the ground to appease the wrath of God. Early church leaders taught that this horrific act of execution was a manifestation of “love” toward the sinner.
On September 11, 1857, a Mormon territorial militia, acting under the direct spiritual authority of local LDS stake president and militia leader John D. Lee, carried out the Mountain Meadows Massacre.

At a Given Signal, Mormons Turn and Slaughter 120+ Men, Women, & Children
via Point-Blank Gunshots and Slit Throats
The Baker-Fancher emigrant wagon train—a group of roughly 140 ordinary American settlers traveling from Arkansas to California—was passing through southern Utah. Spurred by wartime hysteria and inflammatory sermons from Brigham Young’s inner circle calling for vengeance against non-Mormons, the local LDS leadership marked the wagon train for destruction.
After a four-day siege, the Mormon militia approached the emigrants under a white flag of truce. They promised the settlers safe passage back to Cedar City if they would completely disarm themselves to appease local native tribes. The emigrants trusted the militia, handed over their weapons, and began walking in a single-file line—each wagon train member accompanied by an armed Mormon militiaman walking right beside them.
At the pre-arranged signal—the command “Do your duty!”—the trap snapped shut. The Mormon militiamen turned and shot the disarmed male settlers at point-blank range.
For the women, elderly, and children who were walking ahead in a separate line, the slaughter was even more barbaric. Because the militia wanted to save ammunition and terrify the victims, many of the defenseless women and children were hunted down and brutally killed up close. The militiamen used heavy knives to cut the throats of their victims from ear to ear, mimicking the exact physical penalties they had sworn upon their own bodies inside the Nauvoo and Salt Lake endowment rooms. Within minutes, over 120 men, women, and children were completely slaughtered.
To cover up the horror of killing innocent children, the militia spared only 17 infants and toddlers under the age of seven, believing they were too young to remember the slit throats or testify to the crime. The bodies were stripped naked, plundered of their wealth, and left to rot in the open valley. The LDS Church spent decades blaming the atrocity entirely on native tribes, using John D. Lee as a solitary scapegoat until he was finally executed by a firing squad at the site of the massacre twenty years later.
Conclusion: The Scriptural Verdict
The historical record of Mormonism is not a record of a biblical church. It is a record of a continuous, highly coordinated system of spiritual deception, occultic theft, sexual exploitation, financial manipulation, and cold-blooded violence.
The living God is a God of absolute transparency, uncompromised morality, and final revelation. He does not hide behind canvas curtains demanding secret handshakes from European masonry, nor does He command the exploitation of young girls or the slaughter of innocent travelers.
“For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” — 1 Corinthians 14:33 (KJV)
“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.” — Ephesians 5:11-13 (KJV)
The warning stands clear. The system built by Joseph Smith is weighed in the balances of God’s Word and found completely wanting.
