"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.

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

Engaging the Mormon Culture with Compassionate Boldness

Christians who live in Utah and other communities with a significant Mormon population often want to speak to their Latter-day Saint neighbors about issues of eternal significance, yet many are not sure how to approach them about these sensitive topics. The Compassionate Boldness conference will give you the opportunity to meet and learn from a variety of speakers who are experienced in actively engaging the Mormon people. Come and hear what God is doing in Utah. Discover what the Bible has to say to our Mormon neighbors, and what it has to say to us about compassion and boldness. Learn how to use this information in a practical and Christ-honoring way to tell your Mormon friends about the hope that is within you — the hope that can be theirs as well.

A message from MRM.org:

Dear Friends,

I’m excited about an event that will take place in the Salt Lake Valley on May 30-31, 2008 that I think will encourage Christian believers everywhere to “engage the Mormon culture with compassionate boldness.”

Over the past three decades I have personally worked to educate the Body of Christ about the differences between Mormonism and Christianity and have often had the joy of sharing the gospel of grace with the Mormon people. Through my experience I have also found that many Christians desire to share their faith with their LDS loved ones and neighbors, but are not quite sure how to go about it. Many wonder, “OK, I’ve developed a relationship, now what?” The Compassionate Boldness Conference will definitely help meet this need.

We’ve put together a unique blend of speakers with both pastoral and parachurch expertise who understand the challenges of living in our culture. Together they will be covering a wide variety of topics that will enable those in attendance to not only better understand the Mormon people, but also offer advice on how to give an answer with “gentleness and respect.”

A partial list of speakers include:
  • Sandra Tanner (Utah Lighthouse Ministry) will be speaking on the King Follet Discourse and its relationship to Joseph Smith as prophet.
  • Pastor Ross Anderson (Wasatch Evangelical Free Church) will be responding to some of the LDS claims made for the Book of Mormon.
  • Dennis and Rauni Higley (H.I.S. Ministries) will offer advice on sharing our faith with a Latter-day Saint.
  • Marv Cowan, a missionary to Utah since the 1960’s, will be discussing the sufficiency of the Bible in relation to Mormonism’s extra scripture.
  • Pastor Bryan Hurlbutt (Lifeline Community) will address how Christians should respond to a Mormon’s personal testimony.
  • Chip Thompson (Tri-Grace Ministries) will be sharing some of the exciting things that are happening among the LDS people in the Manti/Ephraim area of Utah, and how these things came about.
  • Professor Ron Huggins (Salt Lake Theological Seminary) will evaluate the LDS claim that Christian creeds are an abomination in God’s sight.
  • Pastor Cory Anderson will critique comments from LDS apologists to see if it supports the notion that Mormonism is moving towards a Christian orthodoxy.
I will be addressing the issue of Forgiveness in an LDS context. We are also pleased to have Pastor Paul Robie (South Mountain Community Church) join several of our speakers in a panel discussion that will include Q&A.

Help us spread the word! Visit the CB website (
www.compassionateboldness.com) and feel free to download promotional material. If you can provide a link or utilize the attached jpg image on your website, that will also be greatly appreciated.

I hope you can come.
Register early and save $10. Pastors and their spouses can come free if they pre-register. This event will not only be a great educational experience, it will also be a good time to fellowship with like-minded Christians. Even if you can’t attend, I hope you will pray for the success of this conference.

Thank you!

Bill McKeever

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

From Living Hope Ministries - Google Video

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

"When I was LDS (not that long ago) I saw a lot of things that made me question my membership in the LDS church, but I sure wouldn't admit it for a long time (not even to myself). I just knew there had to be good explanations for all of those silly criticisms, if I just looked in the right place...or prayed about it long enough. I was wrong." - Former Mormon, Marsha Bette More...

What is the ultimate goal of Mormonism? To become a God.

The ultimate idea of all religions 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...


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...



"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." LDS president, Gordon B. Hinckley - Time Magazine, Aug 4, 1997 More...
