“God the Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man's (D&C 130:22). As man now is, God once was; as God now is, man may become.”

Biblical God is eternal, spirit, uncreated, and not an exalted mortal man from another planetary system.

💡 Ask them back“If God was once a mortal man who progressed to godhood, who was His God? And who was that God's God? Does the Bible teach multiple generations of gods, or that the LORD has been God from all eternity?”

“We believe in salvation by grace, 'after all we can do' (2 Nephi 25:23). You must keep the commandments, pay tithing, and do temple ordinances to achieve exaltation.”

Biblical grace is 100% free gift, not a top-off after human efforts fail.

💡 Ask them back“Have you personally done 'all you can do' today? Have you lived with 100% pure thoughts, 100% obedience, and zero sins? If not, has grace kicked in yet according to 2 Nephi 25:23?”

“Jesus and Lucifer are spirit brothers—both spirit children of Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother, with Jesus as the firstborn.”

Jesus is the uncreated Creator of all angels, including Lucifer. Satan is a created being, while Jesus is the eternal God.

💡 Ask them back“In Colossians 1:16, the Bible states that Jesus created ALL things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, including thrones, powers, and rulers. Was Lucifer created by Jesus, or did Jesus not create all things?”

“A Great Apostasy took place after the Apostles died, removing the true priesthood from the earth until Joseph Smith restored it in 1830.”

Jesus guaranteed that the gates of Hades would never prevail against His Church, and Scripture presents Jesus as the one permanent High Priest after the order of Melchizedek.

💡 Ask them back“In Matthew 16:18, Jesus promised: 'On this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall NOT prevail against it.' And in Matthew 28:20, Jesus said: 'I am with you ALWAYS, even to the end of the age.' If the true church completely vanished for 1,700 years, did Jesus fail to keep His promise?”
