e-Sword Home
Freely you received, freely give. (Matthew 10:8)

"e-Sword is a fast and effective way to study the Bible. e-Sword is feature rich and user friendly with more capabilities than you would expect in a free software package. The fact that e-Sword is free is just one of the blessings and does not speak of the quality of the software. I make my living writing software and I believe I have put forth my best effort in this endeavor. The real work, however, was put in by the godly men and women who devoted countless years creating the texts that have been made available for our benefit.

In His service,
Rick Meyers"

This website challenges the claims of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (also known as the Mormon Church or "LDS") and seeks to lead them to a saving faith in Jesus Christ. We are invited to do so by LDS leaders:

"Convince us of our errors of Doctrine, if we have any, by reason, by logical arguments, or by the Word of God and we will ever be grateful for the information and you will ever have the pleasing reflections that you have been instruments in the hands of God of redeeming your fellow beings." LDS Apostle, Orson Pratt - The Seer, p. 15

"I say to the whole world, receive the truth, no matter who presents it to you. Take up the Bible, compare the religion of the Latter-day Saints with it, and see if it will stand the test." 2nd LDS president, Brigham Young - Journal of Discourses, Vol. 16, p. 46

"I think a full, free talk is frequently of great use; we want nothing secret nor underhanded, and for one I want no association with things that cannot be talked about and will not bear investigation." 3rd LDS President, John Taylor - Journal of Discourses Vol. 20, p. 264
 

Borrowing a thought from H.I.S. (He Is Savior) Ministries: This website seeks to "Teach about the differences between Mormonism and biblical Christianity and to motivate the body of Christ into sharing with their Mormon friends and family the crucial fact that without knowing Jesus, there is no salvation. (John 8:24 & 14:6) No church, no ritual, no human 'goodness' nor 'love' shared without presenting the truth which saves will have eternal benefits to anyone." -Rauni Higley, H.I.S. Ministries Int'l. Newsletter, Sept. 08.


What is the ultimate goal of Mormonism? To become Gods.

The ultimate idea of any religion attempts to answer the question: what happens after I die?

Mormonism describes the idea in detail. Mormonism would have us believe that "Eternal Progression" is the answer. More...

Can Mormon Men Become Gods?
 



Mormons, Inc. Time Magazine

"Mormon prophets have continuously taught the sublime truth that God the Eternal Father was once a mortal man who passed through a school of earth life similar to that through which we are now passing." -Milton R. Hunter, First Council of the Seventy

But when the LDS church's president was asked, "Is this the teaching of the church today, that God the Father was once a man like we are?" he responded:

"I don't know that we teach it. I don't know that we emphasize it. I haven't heard it discussed for a long time in public discourse. I don't know. I don't know all the circumstances under which that statement was made. I understand the philosophical background behind it. But I don't know a lot about it and I don't know that others know a lot about it." Former LDS president, Gordon B. Hinckley - Time Magazine, Aug 4, 1997 More...
 



Mormon Salvation After All You Can Do

In the Book of Mormon we read:

"...for we know that it is by grace that we are saved after all we can do," 2nd Nephi 25:23

Former LDS president, Spencer W. Kimball, agrees: "But into the terrestrial will go those who do not measure up to the celestial" – The Miracle of Forgiveness, pg. 315. 

But in the book of Ephesians 2: 8 & 9 we read:

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." More...

DNA vs. Book of Mormon

DNA vs. The Book of Mormon
From Living Hope Ministries - Google Video

"For more than 170 years, the {LDS Church} has declared The Book of Mormon to be a scriptural and literal history.  Subtitled 'Another Testament of Jesus Christ,' it recounts the story of an Israelite family who emigrated to and populated the American continents.  Jesus, after his death and resurrection, is said to have visited this once great Israelite civilization existing in the Americas... The Book of Mormon teaches that these Israelites are the principal ancestors of modern-day Native Americans.

The Bible vs. The Book of Mormon

The Book of Mormon claims to be a volume of holy scripture comparable to the Bible." Both the Bible and the Book of Mormon declare themselves to be ancient, historical, and reliable rules of faith... the Word of God. Is there any evidence to support these claims... one way or another?

"Jesus' blood on the altar was the ultimate payment. He made us worthy permanently. When Jesus died on the cross the veil covering the Holy of Holies tore in half. The mercy seat lay exposed to mankind. There is no veil, anymore, between God and man. Jesus ripped it down. But Mormonism has hung up a new one." -Kathleen Baldwin


"I found myself buried under a mountain of doubt, after really investigating church doctrine and church history...and getting myself more familiar with the Bible. It was too much. I finally came out from under all of that and embraced Jesus Christ alone, which is all we really need. I was sad to leave the church. Very sad...but, relieved and happy to find my Savior in the process." More...

He Gave You Jesus - by Justjo

"Counterfeit, fake, bogus, imitation, forgery, fraud, copy.... We all recognize these words, as well as understand their meaning. There are many counterfeits out there. If they were easy to detect, they would not be called counterfeits. God gave us these wonderful books in the Bible to test these counterfeits. This is where we find our markers to detect them. The Holy Spirit does not contradict Gods word...." More...
