Mormonism: The absence of the cross but the overwhelming presence of Satanic inverted pentagrams.

(Clicking on the pictures in this post will enlarge them for better viewing).

There is a commonality among all cults. This commonality is their attack on such accepted Christian beliefs as the Trinity, the deity of Christ, His atonement for our sins, salvation being through faith by grace alone without works, the beauty of what the cross signifies, etc. Like the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormonism also has an aversion to the cross (as does Satan since that’s where he was defeated). So to direct the masses’ attention away from the only thing that saves them (the finished work that was done upon that cross) these cults come up with all sorts of ways to defame the cross.

The Jehovah’s Witnesses deny the cross all together claiming Jesus died on a “torture stake.” But they don’t stop there. They claim the cross where our Lord died to redeem His people is a pagan symbol!

The Mormons, however, simply downplay the cross. Because they have absolutely no comprehension of the beauty of the cross and its role in our salvation, they think it’s a foolish symbol. Their usual argument goes like this: “If Jesus was killed by a gun would you wear a gun on a chain around your neck?” They fail to understand that Jesus willingly laid down His life (Mark 10:45) and that it was the most beautiful act of love for His people.

Mormonism takes away from the cross by teaching that the most important part of Jesus’ sacrifice occurred in the Garden of Gethsemane when He sweat blood; not on the cross. Again, this diverts the attention away from the very thing that defeated Satan to something that did not have an active role in our salvation. The sweating of blood is not what saves those who put their trust in Christ. It was the sacrifice on the cross!

But Mormonism doesn’t leave it’s people without symbols. Even though Mormon wards, stakes and temples are completely absent of crosses, it’s chock full of occultic and Masonic symbols, even on the holy underwear that its members wear for protection.

Most disturbing though, is Mormonism’s blatant use of the inverted Satanic pentagram. 

 

This same symbol is used by Anton La Vey:

 

 

 

 

And adorns his Satanic Bible:

Without question it is an occultic symbol which has no business being on anything “holy.” But that doesn’t seem to deter Mormons. As you will see below, the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who are uncomfortable with the cross, feel right at home with the Satanic inverted pentagram!

Here are inverted pentagrams in their visitor’s center in the North Temple Square in Salt Lake City:

Here is the inverted pentagram on their South Temple Eagle Gate at State Street in Salt Lake City:

 

Here’s the inverted pentagram on their History & Art Museum across from the Temple Square in Salt Lake City:

 

Most disturbing, however, is that they also place this universally known symbol of Satan on their most “sacred” of buildings, their Temple in Salt Lake City:

 

I would really have to be conditioned and indoctrinated since birth to “worship” in a Temple built by hands of men (where consequently God does not dwell - Acts 7:48, Acts 17:24 and 1 Corinthians 3:9, 16) that was covered in occultic, Masonic and Satanic symbols. How about you?
