How to Combat Anti-Mormon Literature

When I was younger, I heard about several productions that painted The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in an unkind light. I promised myself I would never support any such media by wasting time on them. Knowing that our adversary twists even the tiniest, most innocent things into darkness, I knew I would not find anything valuable in anti-Mormon literature. It is no surprise that there is so much incorrect and even hateful information being spread about the Lord’s Church in the latter days. The Father’s enemy is working hard to destroy souls and if he can cause sparks of doubt, he knows he can get to them.

The first step in recognizing harmful material meant to undermine your testimony is knowing who is behind it and why. People who spread misinformation are not actively seeking truth, they are contributing to the work of the adversary. Lucifer was cast out for rebelling against the Father, and he is trying to steal away as many of those spirits as he can. He doesn’t care anything about us, he simply wants us to be miserable by being separated from God.

What should you do if there is some measure of truth to what you heard? Can you find light shining in a mudhole? Not likely. Why go anywhere but the source to find answers?

The authors of the book “Saints” have worked very hard to present the history of the Church in a way that is truthful, is easy to read and gives the background information that helps readers gain more understanding as to why some things happened the way they did. We know that the people who lead the Church are not perfect, nor have they ever claimed to be. They have needed to learn by experience, mistakes and trial and error just like we all must.

Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf spoke of this in one of his addresses. He said, “We openly acknowledge that in nearly 200 years of Church history—along with an uninterrupted line of inspired, honorable, and divine events—there have been some things said and done that could cause people to question. Sometimes questions arise because we simply don’t have all the information and we just need a bit more patience. When the entire truth is eventually known, things that didn’t make sense to us before will be resolved to our satisfaction.” 1

Have a humble heart as you search out truth. Seek the Spirit for counsel and instruction and be patient.

Many anti-Mormon materials will try to cause doubt in the sacred things we participate in. God, the Creator of the heavens and earth, taught Adam, and Eve from the beginning. Heavenly messengers instructed them from time to time. The adversary came along and realized he could twist sacred performances to the Lord into something strange or uncomfortable. The adversary’s ways are cheap imitations of our Father’s rich, powerful, and sacred ways. We do not need to doubt Him.  Elder Uchtdorf continued, “One of the purposes of the Church is to nurture and cultivate the seed of faith—even in the sometimes-sandy soil of doubt and uncertainty. Faith is to hope for things which are not seen but which are true. Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters—my dear friends—please, first doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith. We must never allow doubt to hold us prisoner and keep us from the divine love, peace, and gifts that come through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.”1

If you or someone you love has been affected by these kinds of materials, spend time in the Book of Mormon. There is real power there. Be open to learning from the source and be patient. Your Father in Heaven will not lead you astray, but He will allow you to grow and struggle a bit on your journey home so that you build a solid foundation on Christ and His restored Church.

  • Bitcoin trading scam on dating sites Review // Professional Wizard Recovery
    My name is Kevin Greenberg from Canada! Life hasn’t been easy but I’ve done everything I can to raise my two boys right after losing my Wife. Being a single father is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do but I’ve taken it one day at a time determined to give them a good life. After years of focusing only on them I finally felt ready to put myself out there again and try dating. I joined a dating app and quickly connected with a woman who seemed thoughtful, sincere and financially intelligent. She told me she was involved in Bitcoin trading and had done well for herself. More than that she said she wanted to help me build a better future for my kids. I’ll admit I was touched. She said all the right things. Over the next few weeks we talked constantly. She never pushed, just encouraged me and gave small pieces of financial advice. Eventually she told me about a private trading pool his team used. It was supposedly low risk with high return. She even showed me screenshots of her growing profits. I wanted to believe her. I wanted to believe in something again. So I did it. I transferred 2 Bitcoin to the wallet address she gave me. The next morning she disappeared. Her profile was gone. All of our messages were deleted. My Bitcoin was gone too. I felt absolutely crushed. For days I couldn’t sleep. I blamed myself for falling for it. I didn’t even want to tell anyone what had happened until a co-worker noticed I wasn’t myself. When I finally told him he said one name: Professional Crypto Recovery. I contacted Professional Crypto Recovery without much hope but they surprised me. From the first call they treated me with respect and urgency. Their investigators trace the scammer’s wallet and they freeze assets. Two weeks later they recovered 1.3 BTC. No it wasn’t everything. But it was enough to restore my faith. More importantly, someone fought for me. I wasn’t just another online victim, I was a father trying to do the right thing. I didn’t find love. But I found justice and a way forward for my boys. I’ll always be grateful.

  • For months I lived with the sinking feeling that my savings were gone forever. A scammer had lured me into a fraudulent crypto investment, and in the blink of an eye, I lost $158,000. It felt like the ground had been pulled from beneath me every effort to trace the funds led to dead ends, and I almost gave up hope. Then I came across Astraweb. At first, I was skeptical; after all, I had already been deceived once. But their professionalism and clarity quickly set them apart. They walked me through every step, from gathering evidence to tracking digital transactions across hidden wallets.

  • Legitimate Bitcoin Recovery Agent: Captain Jack Recovery

    I am truly grateful to Captain Jack Recovery for assisting me in getting my money back from the scam. An online scammer tricked me into making an online investment, and I was unaware that she was pretending to be someone else. I was afraid I had lost nearly all of my funds after I lost roughly $90,000 USD due to her investments. My money was amazingly retrieved from scammers after I called a recovery team professional (realcaptainjack @ proton. me). It was successful and unexpected. Text or call// +491-5782-317-112
