The Verse That Refutes Mormonism

Actually the entire Bible refutes Mormonism, but it can be refuted by just one verse from the Bible.  

(Isaiah 43:10) "You are my witnesses, declares the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he.  Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me." (ESV)

Mormonism is perhaps the most polytheistic religion in the world.  The Mormons believe in an infinite or unlimited number of gods. They believe that individuals can become gods through obedience.  They also believe humans can become gods of their own planets.  Mormons believe that God was once a man who became a god.  They believe that God had a father and a mother, and that he has a wife. The Mormons do not believe that God is eternal, but they do believe that matter is eternal.  

When we look at the last part of Isaiah 43:10, "Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me", it is quite obvious that Mormonism is in direct contradiction with the Word of God.  The Bible teaches that there is one God and besides him there is no other. There were no gods before the LORD and there will be no gods after him.  There is one God in three persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), the Trinity.  They are not three different gods as the Mormons teach.  

Mormons are told that they can become like God.  Where have we heard this before?  In Genesis 3:5 the serpent (that is the devil) told Adam and Eve, "you will become like God."  Of course the devil deceived Adam and Eve with the ultimate lie.  They did not become like God but plunged the whole human race under the sin curse.  Desiring to be a god is not a good desire at all, it is actually outright rebellion against the one, true God.  

Mormonism is not Christianity at all.  In fact Christian apologist James White even says that Islam is closer to Christianity than Mormonism is.  Mormonism is a false religion founded by a false prophet named Joseph Smith (see Deuteronomy 13:1-7).  Christians should not consider Mormons to be fellow Christians.  Mormons are terribly deceived and in rebellion against the one, true God.  Isaiah 43:10 clearly exposes Mormonism as a heresy.
