Father & Son in a Jar?

First Vision window in the Holy of Holies of the Salt Lake Temple, commissioned by the First Presidency in 1892. What started out as a window scene for Wilford Woodruff's personal pleasure has been set in stone in modern times through Thorvaldsen's Danish Christus that has been adopted by the Mormo...

Behold the image of Christ crafted by the hand of man

https://d3ewd3ysu1dfsj.cloudfront.net/images/stories/large/50197.jpg?1547662959 Would Moses approve the fashioning of stone into an image of Jehovah? No! He would not and did not! Here we see that the Mormons have fashioned another idol statue to add to their collection of stone figures of Jesus in...

Graven images

Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them The Israelites did not mak...

Is the title more important than the name?

The name Jesus Christ doesn't receive much emphasis on the Salt Lake Temple, of all places. Not even in gold leaf is the name of C H R I S T much larger than CHURCH or SAINTS . It appears that LORD is the chief operative word at play. The title of the person receives far more emphasis then the actua...

Changing logo format

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ee/Logo_of_the_Church_of_Jesus_Christ_of_Latter-day_Saints_%28pre-1995%29.png Someone might ask: Why didn't the Church get it right the first time? It could be argued that if it's really Jesus's Church then he would have directed to have his name wri...

Two for the Price of One

https://www.lds.org/bc/content/shared/content/images/gospel-library/magazine/friendlp.nfo:o:2f22.jpg The Church could have used its unique Christian belief in plural gods wherein the Church teaches that Two-Men who have bodies of flesh and bone run the Church wherein the younger reports to the olde...

Corporate BLUE

It's a fact that BLUE is used more than any other color for Fortune 500 Company logos, red is second. When it comes to credit cards, it's overwhelmingly blue -- so pay up! It goes to show that the Corporation of the Church certainly follows the business trend of Corporations. Seems awfully worldly t...

Graven image in stone

I can't believe the Church wants a new logo of me as a statue, a graven image. The Christus statue is definitely not my favorite. https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MPPYExaG9Q0/XevcsnQHGSI/AAAAAAAAN-s/317Q6qsYWHcFsNaSVa2I_yMWjGIfmY5HACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/The%2BLord%2BJesus%2BChrist.jpg (Hang in there, Jesus.
