About this ebook

The sequel to Carma Naylor's first book, Volume 2 is more than a captivating story; it contains critical insight into the surprising origins of LDS scriptures and the roadblocks that make it difficult for a Mormon to doubt Mormonism. Carma also sensitively reveals the secret ceremonies of Mormonism out of a genuine desire for Mormons to find freedom in Christ.

Pastor Chuck Smith (founder of the worldwide Calvary Chapel movement) said the following about this sequel to A Mormon's Unexpected Journey, Vol. 1: "…a must read for any who have wondered what Mormonism is all about."

    A Note to my LDS Readers

    There may be many members of the LDS Church today who have not heard or no longer believe what their prophets have taught in the past. You may be one who says, I don’t believe that.

    My response is, Why would you follow men who taught and believed doctrines that you disagree with? These men are sustained by the LDS Church as prophets, seers, and revelators. Even if the LDS Church doesn’t teach certain doctrines anymore, why should these teachings change if God spoke to these men?

    On April 9, 1852, in the Salt Lake tabernacle, Brigham Young made the following statement in the same sermon in which he preached that Adam was our God, as quoted by Chuck Smith in his endorsement of this book:

    Now, let all who may hear these doctrines, pause before they make light of them, or treat them with indifference, for they will prove their salvation or damnation.

    —Journal of Discourses, Vol. I, p. 51

    Brigham Young said the following in a speech delivered in the Salt Lake Tabernacle on January 2, 1870:

    I have never yet preached a sermon and sent it out to the children of men, that they may not call Scripture. Let me have the privilege of correcting a sermon, and it is as good Scripture as they deserve. The people have the oracles of God continually.

    —Journal of Discourses, by Brigham Young, Vol. 13, p. 95

    Brigham Young’s statement, I have never yet preached a sermon and sent it out to the children of men, that they may not call Scripture, was published in 1870—sixteen years after he published his Adam-God doctrine in Journal of Discourses Vol. I, and sent it out to the Saints in all the World. Sixteen years was ample time to correct a sermon if he didn’t mean what he said. (See Supplemental Materials: A Comparison: Can Mormonism be Considered One with Biblical Christianity?)

    The following was stated in a conference talk in the Salt Lake tabernacle in 1945, by Marion G. Romney, (who was president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and a member of the First Presidency):

    Today the Lord is revealing his will to all the inhabitants of the earth, and to members of the Church in particular, on the issues of this our day through the living prophets, with the First Presidency at the head. What they say as a presidency is what the Lord would say if he were here in person. This is the rock foundation of Mormonism . . . So I repeat again, what the presidency say as a presidency is what the Lord would say if he were here, and it is
