	Hebrews 05
		The reason given for the high priest offering sacrifices for his own sins is the very same reason given for the parishioners: ignorance and going astray.
		The office of high priest is staffed by draftees, not by volunteers.
		Mormonism has two degrees of priesthood, and one of them is the Aaronic Order; which is a blatant fraud unless priests can prove they are Hebrew males genetically related to Aaron.

	Witnessing to Mormons - EffectiveEvangelism.com
		Mormons, when attempting to prove the necessity of works for individual salvation, will often reference James 2:17, "faith without works is dead." In order to answer this misuse of the Scripture, you must become familiar with the teachings of James.
		Mormons most often refer to 1 Corinthians 15:40-41 as proof that there are different levels of heaven: "There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
		The primary verse used by Mormons to support their practice of baptism for the dead is 1 Corinthians 15:29, "Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all, why are they baptized for the dead?" Again, one must take the context into account.

		Mormons are requested to fast the first Sunday of each month by forgoing two meals (usually breakfast and lunch) and then donating the money saved to the church for the benefit of the needy.
		Mormon doctrine asserts that the Lamanites are the ancestors of the native American (Indian) tribes.
		When any Mormon receives a new calling, the bishop or other authority and several other priesthood holders place their hands on the member's head, and pronounce a short prayer and blessing, including words to the effect that the member is "called" to this task or position, and is "set apart" to do it.

	Mormonism and the Bible: Christian Resource Centre (Bermuda)
		There are many serious objections to the claim of Joseph Smith and the LDS church that the Book of Mormon is divinely inspired Latter-day scripture supplemental to the Bible.* However, none are more significant than the numerous contradictions between Book of Mormon teaching and the Bible.
		In contrast, from the Bible it is clear that during His earthly ministry, Jesus himself constantly quoted from the Old Testament Scriptures, and showed full confidence in their completeness and accurate transmission as they had survived down to His time.
		In contrast, it is clear from the Bible that only one individual at a time occupied the office of high priest under the Old Testament dispensation (see, for example Leviticus 21:10; Matthew 26:3; Hebrews 8:6-7).

	Mormonism, I: Authority (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Book of Mormon purports to be a record of Lehi and his sons, Laman, Lemuel, and Nephi, their journey from the Middle East to the Americas in 600 BC, and the history of the Lamanites and Nephites, the descendants of Lehi and his sons, until 400 AD.
		The Mormons further argue that Smith came across a word for a metal that he did not understand, and therefore translated it as "steel." They point to information gathered about Mayan culture, and that they had a metal that was similar to steel, yet is not known by us today.
		The Mormon scriptures posit that many individuals of the past knew about Jesus Christ, believed in Him, were immersed in water for the forgiveness of their sins in His name, and even established churches, and all of this long before He walked the Earth.

	Temple "Worthiness" and the Bible \| Mormonism Research Ministry
		Evidence that temple Mormonism has nothing in common with the temple worship in Jerusalem comes from the fact that the temple's entire purpose was to meet the needs of unworthy sinners.
		Faithful Latter-day Saints are encouraged to be married in Mormon temples; however, because worthiness is a requirement for entrance, non-Mormon parents are not allowed to be a part of one of the most blessed events in the lives of their children.
		Many Mormons fail to realize that the temple and its priesthood was a foreshadowing of the coming Great High Priest, Jesus Christ.

		Mormons maintain that the need for divine guidance is as great or greater in our modern, complex world as it was in the comparatively simple times of the Hebrews." Thus, revelation continues.
		Indeed, the faithful Mormon wife of a lukewarm Mormon man will leave him behind in an inferior place while she goes on and is sealed to a more devout Mormon gentleman.

		In order to a be a bishop, bishop’s counselor, stake president, stake president’s counselor, stake high counselor, or high priest group leader or assistant, a man must be a high priest.
		But the basis of the need for high priests as a matter of theology is bogus, even in the LDS belief system.
		The church's stance is that you don't become a High Priest UNTIL you're called to a presiding responsibility.

	Priesthood in Mormonism - Part 5

		Brigham Young identifies God the Father as Adam, and Mormons teach that is was not through the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit but through the physical union of this immortal Adam-God and the mortal Virgin Mary that God the Son, "Jehovah" or Jesus Christ, was born in the flesh.
		The subject of things doesn’t change the fact that the Mormons consider one of the gods as the main one, but the fact that their god is limited and is not the unique.

		This priesthood is something every practicing Mormon male achieves at age twelve, "provided he conforms to the standards of the Church." The Aaronic priesthood is the lesser; it "is concerned with the temporal affairs of the Church, and its ranks are known as deacon, teacher, then priest.
		Mormons maintain that the need for divine guidance is as great or greater in our modem, complex world as it was in the comparatively simple times of the Hebrews." Thus, continuing revelation.
		The fact is, of course, that the religion Joseph Smith developed uses elements of various forms of Protestantism, and the emphasis on "temperance"—which, to the old-line Protestants, meant not the moderate use of alcohol, but outright abstinence—is one such borrowing.

		Although Mormons claim that God is guiding the LDS church through its president (who has the title "prophet, seer and revelator"), the successive "prophets" have repeatedly either led the church into undertakings that were dismal failures or failed to see approaching disaster.

	Urim and Thummim - Crystalinks
		Urim and Thummim, generally translated as "lights and perfections" or "revelation and truth" were a scrying medium or divination process used by ancient Hebrews (usually Israelites) in revealing the will of God on a contested point of view or other problem.
		According to the teachings of Judaism, a small parchment with God's holy name, the Tetragrammaton, inscribed on it was slipped into an opening under the Urim and Thummim on the high priest's breast plate, which caused the breastplate to "glow" and thereby "transmit messages" from God to the Children of Israel.
		Upon the death of Aaron and Moses, Joshua was instructed to present himself to the high priest for the counsel of the Urim and Thummim when he wished to consult God.

		The Mormons were armed with one gun, two long pistols, a butcher's knife, &c., and rushed to the charge, in which many of our men came in collision with them and parried their swords, &c., with their guns, and knocked them down.
		The Mormons have tried in vain to occupy exclusively particular counties on which they have fixed their affections; individuals of other denominations will come among them, hence disquietude, contention and often open strife, perhaps bloodshed will be the result.
