LDS new revelations ?
(*Article being updated)
List what works are, and then list not by works verse
Mormons-
They Cannot say xyz because it is a lie.
A belief lds have are that there was a time when the church lost truth, and that now only "they" have it.
This was taught by the founder in the 1800s well before archeologists found mass numbers of more manuscripts, so the founder was able to dupe people to follow after him only until then. We also have the 1. The un altered Scriptures, and 2. early church leaders writings of not just the Apostle John's students (who became pastors over the churches) but others from way back early as well. And just by their writings alone, we could reconstruct the Bible even if in modern times we had no manuscripts. But we do. And more are being uncovered. Including old testament, and new testament, and they all are saying the exact thing we have in all the reputable versions we have as translations in English. This is true all the way back. In fact even in 500 AD (where it was translated in 500 languages) through the Reformation and until now, to translate into other languages. In fact, todays versions are translated from original languages into English, and agree with the earliest manuscripts.
Regardless of the version, they all say the same thing. Example. Scripture hasnt changed, which means we need to study the Bible, and see what God has said and how He defines words like Grace, Salvation, Faith, Forgiveness, Eternity, Born Again, Heaven, Eternal Hell, as well as who God really is and who Jesus really is.
Joseph Smith did not count on archeology becoming a thing, nor that they would find more manuscripts, early manuscripts, or that we would have the writings of early early church fathers. He also relied on the fact that most people back in his day were 99% illiterate, and he could profit off them and have power and status by creating a religion.
So here is the important things:
*Scripture hasnt changed.
*No teachings have been lost or altered
*God is fully capable of preserving His Word, he is the Creator and the one who gave us the Bible. He has the power to do this, easily, and did.
*Scripture challenges us to ensure we have not believed a false Gospel, and to examine ourselves to see if we really are in the true faith.
Etc
Diff denominations hold to the essentials, it is not that we have a few differences w lds. Scripture is clear that lds is a false religion masquerading as Christian with a false gospel; with an entire belief system that is a false, and sadly mass numbers of people have believed, because they didnt investigate it.
People can be sincere in what they believe but they can be sincerely wrong.
If LDS is examined, and I encourage you to examine and investigate this, then you will see it is a false religion that falls on it's own sword.
Your salvation, and eternal destination (in the 1 Heaven or the 1 Hell) rides on whether you believed a false gospel. You dont want to pass at death into eternity and find yourself eternally damned for believing a lie.
You owe it to yourself to seriously investigate this. And I encourage you to do so today.
Heres steps you can take
1. Read the Bible cover to cover.
Highlight verses that have to do with showing salvation is by belief alone, by God alone, through Jesus work on the cross alone.
Look for verses that tell you who Jesus is (*). John's Gospel clearly reveals Him as the eternal always existed one, who is the Creator of all things that exist (anywhere), and that He is equal to the Father and of the same essence and nature, and claims to be God (*)
Look for verses that point to the Trinity (*)
Look for xyz (*) links to these verses.
Highlight these verses, and think on them.
These verses are linked here to help ensure you dont miss some, but you need to read the Bible for yourself and see these things clearly as you read.
Also xyz this as investigations
Archeology
Early fathers
Read this book
Why did LDS leadership change calling the members "mormons"? It was fine from its founding until 2012. God's Word doesnt change, so it appears leadership claims this came from God so they can do a PR stunt to try and make people think LDS is Christian. So if they did that, they lied that God said to change it. They did it for nefarious purposes🤔. God's word never changes.

What to do about new revelations?
There's no new Revelation since NT times. There's no need for it and God has given us His full revelation. God told us everything from Adam to Judgment Day to Eternity with the new Heaven and Earth. Anything additional someone tells you....is a lie from Satan.
God clearly told us this thru the Apostles in Gal 1:5-9: There is no other truth, no other Gospel, no other way to be saved but as Jesus told us and as Apostles taught by the Holy Spirit.
God, Jesus - and the apostles would've talked about anything God wanted us to know while Jesus was here, while the 12 Apostles, who lived with Jesus, were commissioned by Jesus, and were filled with God the Holy Spirit during their lifetime (x yes), would've revealed everything to us then. Even during the 40 days after the resurrection when He was with them.
Not 800, 1000, or 2000 yrs later.
God has told us to test everything by the Scriptures, the old & new testament. That it is perfect for doctrine, for teaching etc....
It tells us Jesus was always God. That the Triune God always existed, was never created, and that he is holy, righteous, perfect, etc,, and that man is a created being who thru Adam's sin caused the fall and all humans have the sin nature, that God said the wages of sin is death. We sin and earn death. That Hell is real, it is a place all liars, fornication, and all sinners who die in their sin, will receive the eternal wrath of God. But, God wanted to show his attributes of his love, his Grace, mercy, and made a way we can be forgiven of our sins. Only someone perfect can pay that penalty, a perfect substitute. He lived a perfect life in human flesh, took the sins of all who will ever believe, upon himself on the cross, God poured out eternally wrath against all those sins onto Jesus, Scripture says He bore our sins. And his blood was shed, and he died, and rose again on the 3rd day. He stayed with the Apostles and taught them 40 more days, them went back to Heaven and sits on the Throne as a member of the triune God, as the Savior, who victorious over sin and death, and made forgiveness available, so that all who repent and trust in Jesus work, that he paid it all - we will be saved. The moment we do that God makes us born again, we are given spiritual life, we are made a new creation, and we have passed from death to Life so that when we step into eternity we will be with Jesus. But also that when we are converted, we begin our eternal life, we live for Christ, he works thru us by the Holy Spirit who comes to indwell us at salvation, to help us live rightly, and become more and more like Christ. We serve Him because we love Him and he is the Lord and Master of our life. We used to be slaves to sin but are slaves in Christ, free from sin. His Forever.

People trapped in Cults like JW and Mormon, who find out the truth and leave the cult, know.
There is a cost
Jesus said you will have to give up everything for me, and that because of Him there will be division in families and friends, he brought the truth which is a sword that divides. And that the double edged sword.... so if you lose your family, your friends, your business your job your home and vehicles, anything.... it is ok because you have recieved truth and choose to follow Jesus and received salvation. You must be willing to lose everything to gain eternal life. If your family loves you they will let you stay around, they will listen to you, they will listen to the truth and hopefully leave that cult too. If not, be willing to lose everything for Christ.

John 20:31
John clearly tells us by God the Holy Spirit , that you must believe in the True Christ in order to receive eternal life. John gives us immense treasure in the entire book of John.
He wrote John, 3 epistles and Revelation.
we need to understand and believe it.

Jesus always existed
Jesus existed before anything in existence. The Trinity existed before anything that was ever created. God is the only God that exists anywhere. Scripture clearly tells us this in several places. You have to look at the original language, words and meaning. Jesus was not a part of time and space. He is not a created being He is not an angel, he is, was, and always has been GOD. He is eternal. He is I AM. He was already existing. He Continuously existing before the beginning began. The verb Amee. He already existed before the beginning began. The Trinity has always existed. The Word existed outside of time and is eternal. He has always eternally existed. Without Him nothing has been created, ever.
His name is eternal being. I AM. He is uncreated, He is, was and always is...GOD
Gen. 1:1, Prov 8:28, Heb 1:2
Before the world, Jesus in John 17:5 talked about how he was on equal level with God, in his prayer.
> pros ton theon
In Him the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily. Col 2:9. He is preexistant, coexistent, self existent. John 1:3-4
In Jesus is life. Everything came I to being thru Him. Anything ever anywhere, ever. Jesus made. He didn't come from anyone else or anything. Everything came thru Him. 1 Cor 8:6.
The Father, Word and Holy Spirit all created.
Ps 102, is 40, 42, 45 , Mark 13:19, Rom 1:25, all thru NT. Apart from Jesus not 1 thing exists that He didn't make. Nothing. Ever. Ever anywhere. GOD is the only God. The Trinity is the only God that exists anywhere.
John 1:4 He is eternal and in him is life. ZOE the life principle, the one who creates and gives life. He gives spiritual life. He made everything. Everything physical and spiritual.
And because in Him is life, Heb 1 by his power he upholds all things. He sustains the creation, both the physical and spiritual. In time and eternity. The life was the light, It is the same.. He became the light; the light is the revelation of the life: John 8:12 the light of the world.
The light came into the world to enlighten everyone. And today he has just done that, by revealing who He really is to all, even to you.
When death comes - Jesus said, I say to you you will die unforgiven in your sins, unless you believe I AM He. The one I just explained to you, that the entire Bible proclaims.
When the end comes - Scripture tells us- Many will call out to Jesus saying Lord didn't we do this and that [works], Jesus will say depart from me I never knew you.
Do not be deceived any longer.
You now must make a choice. Continue in darkness following the lies of Satan, or throw everything away, including your sins, any secret sins, your works, your self-righteousness, your beliefs .. and turn to the true God, the true Jesus, the true Word of God; the Bible, the true salvation. And get right with God today. Immediately. Even if it costs you everything... your job, your home, your business, your job, your friends. Grab theTruth. Your salvation and eternity is riding on it.
God has told us - in John 1:12, As many as recieved Him, those who believe who he really is, to them He gave the right to become the children of God.
Grab the truth, [ ] and thru Jesus -the offer of forgiveness, Salvation, and eternal life.
How to get saved in less than 3 minutes
I pray the true God opens your eyes to truth, and leads you to the true Jesus (mentioned here), with the goal of you actually getting saved. I pray it happens today. 🙏
