In all my research on Mormonism, I have found nowhere in the voluminous body of Mormon sophist apologetic writings any kind of rational defense for the mandatory Mormon health code, the word of wisdom, which comprises a purely man-made edict. as a prerequisite for baptism into the Mormon Church and, later, participation in Mormon temple rites. You see, the Mormon health code was supposedly written in 1833 and later placed in the 1835 LDS Doctrine and Covenants, as its section 89, as mere advice from the Mormon god as to the supposedly ill effects of coffee, tea, tobacco and alcoholic beverages among Mormons. However, its historicity is doubtful because this edict is nowhere mentioned in the 1833 Book of Commandments, which was supposedly God’s last word to the newly organized LDS Church, published as a comprehensive compilation of dos and don’ts. it should be done in mormons. .

As a message of counsel, supposedly from God, the Word of Wisdom was not interpreted at its advent and throughout the life of its creator, Joseph Smith, Jr., as a commandment, since alcoholic beverages, wine, beer and other spirits were Joseph Smith, Jr. enjoyed it greatly throughout his life. However, Smith hypocritically despised members of his sect who doubted and transgressed his “prophetic” word of advice supposedly received from the Mormon deity to not use tobacco and drink coffee and tea, or hot beverages, as indirectly referred to above. which became Section 89 of the 1835 Doctrine and Covenants. However, by the way Smith generously took and used passages directly from the King James Bible to place in his 19th century Book of Mormon, he should have found the profound scripture written by the apostle Paul, in Colossians 2: 9-23, regarding codes written by man to regulate the daily behaviors of Christians regarding what they should eat and drink, and the proscription of the same by part of Jesus. Smith either did not know the script, or simply ignored it. In the epistle to the Corinthians, Paul stated the following, as found in the much more correctly translated New International Version of the Holy Bible:

“For in Christ dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily, and fulness is given to you in Christ, who is the head over all power and authority. In him you were also circumcised, having put off your sinful nature, not with the circumcision made by the hands of men, but with the circumcision made by Christ, having been buried with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God , who raised him from sins and the uncircumcision from the dead. your sinful nature, God gave you life with Christ, he forgave us all our sins, annulling the written code, with its regulations, which was against us and opposed to us, he removed it by nailing it to the cross. having dispossessed principalities and authorities, he made them a public spectacle, triumphing over them on the cross. Therefore, let no one judge you by what you eat or drink, or in regard to a religious festival, a new moon celebration, or a resting day. These are a shadow of things to come; reality, however, is found in Christ. Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and angel worship disqualify you from the prize. Such a person goes into great detail about what he has seen, and his non-spiritual mind inflates him with idle notions. He has lost connection with the Head, from whom the whole body, supported and sustained by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God makes it grow. Since you died with Christ to the basic principles of this world, why, as if you still belonged to him, submit to his rules: do not manipulate! Don’t try! Do not touch! All of these are destined to perish with use because they are based on human commands and teachings. Such regulations certainly have the appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed adoration, false humility, and harsh treatment of the body, but they are worthless in restraining sensual indulgence.”

Therefore, it is quite evident why Mormon apologetics has not been used to try to establish a Biblical justification for the Mormon word of wisdom; and it is actually quite surprising, if not a fulfillment of Paul’s clearly understandable instruction that Smith misleadingly used the term “wisdom” in the title of his alleged revelation from God. The obvious purpose of this evil code was an effort by Smith to control the behavior of his disciples. The Holy Bible in a crushing prohibition, given by Christ through his appointed Apostle, says that that particular fruit born of Mormonism is not of God, and if there is a false fruit hanging from a tree that represents the Gospel of Christ, then the whole tree is corrupted. Strangely, the only New Testament scripture regularly used by Mormons to justify the use of Joseph Smith’s dubious health proclamation is I Corinthians 6:19, “Know ye not that your bodies are temples of the Holy Ghost, which is in you?” “whom have you received from God? You are not your own,” and if read in context, the Apostle Paul in this particular chapter is specifically referring to keeping the body free from sexual immorality, not food or drink. In another scripture, 1 Corinthians 3:16-17, Paul also says, “Do you not know that you yourselves are the holy temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him.” him”. for the temple of God is holy, and you are that temple,” Paul here is referring in a plural sense to “all Christians” who comprise the body, or individual collective bodies, or churches, of Christ. He is not referring to the physical body, and he is not referring to individual Christians keeping their individual bodies pure from sin. He was speaking specifically to the church in Corinth when he said, “Do you not know that you yourselves are the holy temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” The word “you” used by Paul should be considered in the plural, as when someone, for example, says, when referring to a collective group of people, “you (guys) are the first defense of this football team.” Certainly the Apostle would not tell one group of Christians in Corinth to abstain from certain foods and drinks, and then tell another that accepting and abiding by restrictive health codes is impious. Paul is simply saying, in 1 Corinthians 3, that God will destroy (in mortality or in the hereafter) people who try to destroy the churches or bodies of Christ.

Mormons, however, like to create their own non-Christian doctrines by privately interpreting the scriptures of the Holy Bible. This simply means that the Mormon hierarchy has routinely, since the 1830s, extracted individual verses from Old and New Testament chapters and, without contextual understanding and use of those verses, has created its own meanings for those verses, and from those. invented meanings they have created. false doctrines. The above discussion of the “temples of God” (the individual human body and the collective bodies of Christ) is a very good example of Mormon private interpretation. When Mormon misuse of the Holy Scriptures is brought under scrutiny, the first thing that comes out of their collective mouth is that the Holy Bible was, and is, mistranslated and that is why they say Paul was mistranslated. he contradicts himself in colossians 2. hey the code doctrine that mormons have created by privately interpreting the scriptures in 1 corinthians 6 and 3, and ignoring colossians 2, is as crooked as a dog’s hind leg and not can be defended; but for some obtuse reason, which is the work of the devil, millions of Christians have been disconnected from the Holy Spirit and have been influenced by Mormon minions to believe it. Another example of a one-verse creation of Mormon doctrine is the LDS doctrine of baptism for the dead, which is taken entirely from two questions the Apostle Paul asked in 1 Corinthians 15:29 (NIV) (which he never answered), ” Now if there is no resurrection of the dead, what will those who are baptized for the dead do?From these two unanswered questions have arisen the diabolical doctrines of Mormon vicarious works performed in secret in multi-million dollar Mormon temples.

During the 30 active years (1970-2000) that I unfortunately spent in the Mormon Church, various Mormon General Authorities stated in Mormon General Conferences that the word of wisdom is a “commandment of faith” to measure the faith of a latter-day saint. days. devotion to the LDS Church. In the days of the Mormon prophet Brigham Young, from 1850 to 1877, the doctrine of blood atonement was also applied as a “commandment to keep the faith.” This pernicious doctrine of demons was applied to ordinary Mormons who were accused by the 19th century Mormon hierarchy of committing sins deemed “beyond the atonement of Jesus Christ,” for which the pouring out of the Holy Spirit did not apply. precious blood of Jesus. . These accused Mormons were told to voluntarily surrender to committees of Mormon executioners to be killed so that their blood would flow to earth, so that they would have a chance to earn Mormon exaltation (the highest degree in Mormon heaven where only Mormons can reside), their faith therefore being tested. The Mormon Church, for many decades, lied about the practice of blood atonement during the 19th century Utah Mormon theocracy before the magazines and journals of 19th century anguished Mormons were available to the public for historical perusal. .

In summary, this essay article is intended to elucidate a particular evil doctrine invented by Joseph Smith of Mormonism, the Mormon health code known as the word of wisdom. All other Mormon doctrines that comprise pagan and polytheistic Mormon theology are likewise of the devil, and can be seen for what they are by appealing to the holy scriptures of God’s Holy Word, the Holy Bible.
