A Note From Ed
Dear Friends,
Theses are exciting times in our ministry. Recently, DNA evidence proved once and for all that the American and Meso-American Indians are not the descendants of Jewish settlers but that they have entirely different DNA patterns.
The President of the
Last week, I met with a man from the
He immediately went into a long attack on the reliability off the Bible, in part claiming that the Book of John was really written by Mary Magdalene and that she was the beloved disciple Shades of The Divinci Code.
After an hour and a half of his ranting against the Bible and the Church and Christianity and my many attempts to quiet him down and get to the point of the meeting, he raged up and glorified Islam and Mohammed as the true peacemakers of the world. I finally told him to leave and for the next ten minutes, in a closed room away from anyone else, recognized I was possibly in mortal danger. I took spiritual authority of the demons being manifest and he finally left shouting curses on our church and me.
I shook my head over the incident and thanked the Lord for His protection. In retrospect, I knew two things. First, to never let myself get in such a vulnerable place as I did with a Muslim, no matter how much he smiled. Second, that in close to 50 encounters with Muslims in the past, the very first thing every one of them did was to attack the authority of the Bible. Because the Bible clearly shows that the god of Islam is an idol. The Bible predicted the very behavior I experienced.

"Behold, you are with child, And you shall bear

You shall call his name Ishmael,
Because the LORD has heard your affliction.

And he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren."

Prayer to Frustrate Conspiracy Against

Do
not keep silent, O God!
Do not hold Your peace,
And do not be still, O God!
2 For behold, Your enemies make a tumult;
And those who hate You have lifted up their head.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against Your people,
And consulted together against Your sheltered ones.
4 They have said, "Come, and let us cut them
off from being a nation,
That the name of Israel may be remembered no
more."
5 For they have consulted together with one consent;
They form a confederacy against You:
6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;
Moab and the Hagrites;
7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek;
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 Assyria also has joined with them;
They have helped the children of Lot.

As with Sisera,

A
Different God Than Ours
The reason a Muslim cannot be worshipping the same God is that Islam rejects the divinity and the atonement of Jesus, the bedrock of Christianity. And since they reject the whole house of Israel, they are earnestly bowing at the altar of a false god.
For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh . This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 2 John 7 NKJV
1. The description of the deceiver and his deceit-he confesses not that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh (v. 7); he brings some error or other concerning the person of the Lord Jesus; he either confesses not that Jesus Christ is the same person, or that Jesus of Nazareth was the Christ, the anointed of God, the Messiah promised of old for the redemption of Israel, or that the promised Messiah and Redeemer has come in the flesh, or into the flesh, into our world and into our nature; such a one pretends that he is yet to be expected. Strange that after such evidence any should deny that the Lord Jesus is the Son of God and Saviour of the world!
2. The aggravation of the case-such a one is a deceiver and an antichrist (v. 7); he deludes souls and undermines the glory and kingdom of the Lord Christ. He must be an impostor, a wilful deceiver, after all the light that has been afforded, and all the evidence that Christ has given concerning himself, and the attestation God has given concerning his Son; and he is a wilful opposer of the person, and honour, and interest of the Lord Christ, and as such shall be reckoned with when the Lord Christ comes again. Let us not think it strange that there are deceivers and opposers of the Lord Christ's name and dignity now, for there were such of old, even in the apostle's times.

3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 1 John 4:3 KJV
II. He gives a test whereby the disciples may try these pretending spirits. These spirits set up for prophets, doctors, or dictators in religion, and so they were to be tried by their doctrine; and the test whereby in that day, or in that part of the world where the apostle now resided (for in various seasons, and in various churches, tests were different), must be this: Hereby know you the Spirit of God, Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh (or that confesseth Jesus Christ that came in the flesh), is of God, v. 2. Jesus Christ is to be confessed as the Son of God, the eternal life and Word, that was with the Father from the beginning; as the Son of God that came into, and came in, our human mortal nature, and therein suffered and died at Jerusalem. He who confesses and preaches this, by a mind supernaturally instructed and enlightened therein, does it by the Spirit of God, or God is the author of that illumination.
On the contrary, "Every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh (or Jesus Christ that came in the flesh) is not of God, v. 3. God has given so much testimony to Jesus Christ, who was lately here in the world, and in the flesh (or in a fleshly body like ours), though now in heaven, that you may be assured that any impulse or pretended inspiration that contradicts this is far from being from heaven and of God." The sum of revealed religion is comprehended in the doctrine concerning Christ, his person and office. We see then the aggravation of a systematic opposition to him and it. And this is that spirit of antichrist whereof you have heard that it should come, and even now already is it in the world, v. 3. It was foreknown by God that antichrists would arise, and antichristian spirits oppose his Spirit and his truth; it was foreknown also that one eminent antichrist would arise, and make a long and fatal war against the Christ of God, and his institution, and honour, and kingdom in the world. This great antichrist would have his way prepared, and his rise facilitated, by other less antichrists, and the spirit of error working and disposing men's minds for him: the antichristian spirit began betimes, even in the apostles' days. Dreadful and unsearchable is the judgment of God, that persons should be given over to an antichristian spirit, and to such darkness and delusion as to set themselves against the Son of God and all the testimony that the Father hath given to the Son! But we have been forewarned that such opposition would arise; we should therefore cease to be offended, and the more we see the word of Christ fulfilled the more confirmed we should be in the truth of it.

Dear Ed,
Two Mormon Missionaries came to my home.
They told me they were so glad to meet me as I was a direct descendent of Parley
Parker Pratt (two generations back). I invited them in to my home. I pulled
out a copy of the family history and genealogy written by my grandmothers brother
that was published in the 1960s. It covered the genealogy of the three families of

There are circumstances now in our own
One of the Patriarchs of the church speaking in our ward told a story of one of the lovely Western girls meeting and marrying a seemingly very nice young man who was in the armed forces stationed near her home. When her first child was lain at her side she was stricken with grief as she recognized this forbidden blood showing up in its face. Her husband desired her to go and see his parents in the South. When they arrived at the depot of his home town they were met by his parents, and to her horror, his mother was a Negro. So we cant be too careful! The Patriarch warned that in this dangerous situation this nation has come into it would be wise for every boy and girl contemplating marriage to use great caution not to marry into this blood and as a final security to each, get a patriarchal blessing so that their lineage can be determined before hand.
I make all this comment about his problem as a warning to Fathers descendents to shun the very appearance of any familiarity with that cursed race and to keep our choice white skin free from the Mark of Cain
When the two female missionaries read these words, they were troubled and befuddled. They could not explain why such words were written. They asked whether he was a Mormon in good standing. The written materials that followed definitely portrayed the author as a Mormon in very good standing. One of them acknowledged that while she was at BYU she remembers a building named after the author. They did not know what to say after that to respond to the offensive words in the Foreword.

For me, it was a strange thing. I was already in the bloodline of Levi, through my Jewish born mother. After my LDS baptismal dip, I was suddenly of the lineage of Ephraim.
It was a hard blow to have my blood switched around like that. A Levite is a servant of the most high. Ephraim dressed up nice for parades but was a weak man who defiled God. He was a pompous man taken by his own vanity, in love with the things of the flesh.
For now, O Ephraim, you commit harlotry;

Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke;

So, these vicarious baptisms of Jews is somehow a holy restoration of the fallen Jews to the right root of Judaism and will continue on, even in secret, despite all the angry cries from the Jewish world.
PROXY
BAPTISM OF JEWS: THE SPLASH GOES ON
By Helen Radkey
Behind closed temple doors, and unquestionably in defiance of the May 1995 agreement between
Mormons and Jews, in which the LDS Church promised to cease temple ordinances
for deceased Jews who are not direct ancestors of living Mormons, the practice never
stopped. Since 1995, Mormons have performed proxy ordinances for most Jewish notables,
including prominent Israeli political figures: Yitzhak Rabin, Moshe Sharett, Golda Meir,
David Ben-Gurion and Theodor Herzl--along with hundreds of thousands of other Jews,
including multitudes of Jews in the arts, the sciences and in the entertainment
field--such as Gilda Radner, the Marx Brothers and the Three Stooges. Even Jews on
the Titanic, who went into the icy waters of the
There is no way to accurately count the
number of Jews who have been subjected to proxy ordinances since the agreement was
signed. The figure is probably staggering and over a million. In seven
years of intensive research, I have amassed a sizeable collection of copies of post-1995
proxy ordinance entries for obvious Jews from the
According to LDS belief, the only way to enter the highest "heaven" is by being
baptized through Mormon rite. Mormons advise those who protest that proxy baptism does not
necessarily make dead Jews into Mormons; it gives their souls, which retain free will, the
ability to choose "the true Gospel of Jesus Christ" and thus the opportunity to
enter the highest kingdom in the hereafter. However, the baptismal and confirmation
prayers used by Mormons in their temples are explicit in their content. Deceased parties
are baptized by proxy without the option to decline. They are then confirmed as members of
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by proxy and supposedly given the gift of
the Holy Ghost, again without the option to decline. If Mormons, in general, are so
adamant that the dead always have the opportunity to accept or reject these posthumous
ordinances--then why is this choice not reflected in the wording of their baptismal and confirmation
prayers?
If Jews live their lives in the earthly domain as devout Jews, why would they want to deny
their religious existence here and adopt some other faith in the world to come? What are
some of the deeper implications of proxy baptism?
LDS rites for the dead are unbridled attempts to deny the legitimacy of the religious
beliefs of lives already lived and to manipulate deceased parties into Mormonism, under
the pretext of supposedly offering these voiceless and defenseless souls the highest
degree of spiritual glory in the hereafter. The practice of proxy baptism is the
ultimate in religious intolerance. Who are Mormons to say they carry the only
"keys" to open heaven's gates-- and then offer these "keys" to Jewish
deceased who must either accept this offer or miss out on "celestial
glory"?
What Mormons perceive as a service to humanity and not an offense to others is nothing
more than self-delusion. Proxy baptism is a form of religious libel. Heartfelt as it
may seem to Mormons, it ultimately casts doubt on the Jewish heritage of all Jews,
including Jewish religious, philosophical, political and cultural leaders. Centuries from
now, when people look to historical documentation about Jewish figures, they'll find that
the
Jewish Holocaust victims, described by the
Church as having been removed from the IGI database, are reappearing in the lists of the
posthumously baptized, name after name, family after family. Some of these
Holocaust victims, murdered as young teenagers, have no direct descendants, yet the Mormon
faithful submit their names anyway, falsely claiming descendancy. Zealous Mormons are
still pouring names of Jewish Holocaust victims into the LDS temple system. Some of
these names are showing up in the IGI showing death camps, such as
Mormons are attempting to revise history through proxy baptisms. LDS proxy temple
ordinances for Jews demonstrate total disrespect for Jews and Jewish feelings and should
not be tolerated by any self-respecting Jew on the face of this earth.
Even as Jewish leaders hold private negotiations with LDS officials on this long unresolved issue, after
almost eleven years of continuous agreement breaches by Mormons, where is the outrage? Are
these Jewish leaders quietly capitulating to reassurances from LDS officials that there
will be new methods to curb the enthusiasm of overzealous Mormons and prevent them from
submitting names of Jews
from whom they are not directly descended into the
Why do Jewish leaders continue to overlook
the huge number of deceased Jews subjected to proxy ordinances in violation of the
1995 agreement? Shouldn't they emphatically seek redress from the
Representing the memory of every single
deceased Jew subjected to posthumous ordinances by Mormons in blatant violation of the
1995 agreement should be the primary task of the Jews who signed this document. Why have
these Jewish leaders collectively abdicated their moral and ethical responsibility to
ensure that the provisions of the agreement are finally and firmly enforced?

Spurgeon Says!
"And they took
knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus."
Acts
A Christian should be a striking likeness of Jesus Christ. You have read lives of Christ, beautifully and eloquently written, but the best life of Christ is His living biography, written out in the words and actions of His people. If we were what we profess to be, and what we should be, we should be pictures of Christ; yea, such striking likenesses of Him, that the world would not have to hold us up by the hour together, and say, "Well, it seems somewhat of a likeness;" but they would, when they once beheld us, exclaim, "He has been with Jesus; he has been taught of Him; he is like Him; he has caught the very idea of the holy Man of Nazareth, and he works it out in his life and every-day actions."
A Christian should be
like Christ in his boldness. Never blush to own your religion; your profession will never
disgrace you: take care you never disgrace that.
Be like Jesus, very valiant for your God. Imitate Him in your loving spirit; think kindly, speak kindly,
and do kindly, that men may say of you, "He has been with Jesus." Imitate Jesus
in His holiness. Was He zealous
for His Master? So be you; ever go about doing good. Let not time be wasted: it is too
precious. Was He self-denying, never looking to His own interest? Be the same. Was He
devout? Be you fervent in your prayers. Had He deference to His Father's will? So submit
yourselves to Him. Was He patient? So learn to endure.
And best of all, as the highest portraiture of Jesus, try to forgive your enemies, as
He did; and let those sublime words of your Master, "Father, forgive them; for they
know not what they do," always ring in your ears. Forgive, as you hope to be
forgiven. Heap coals of fire on the head of your foe by your kindness to him. Good for
evil, recollect, is godlike. Be godlike, then; and in all ways and by all means, so live
that all may say of you, "He has been with Jesus

Dear Ed,
When is it going to be enough... You will never ever destroy the Lord's Kingdom on Earth... The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints will never fall... NEVER... I promise you in the name of the Lord that you are wasting your time and life away trying to tear something down that cannot be brought to destruction... There are reasons why the church is rapidly growing and maybe it's because the Lord is at the head of it...
I was taught at a very young stage in my life that "By the fruits ye shall know them."
Ed, I can see your fruit and it doesn't bring forth righteousness... I have studied your literature and there is no spirit about it... You thrive on what you can't explain and it's sad because the Lord has no part in what youre doing... Again Ed, by their fruits you shall know them...

And one other thing, Bret. Stop claiming rapid growth. that is not real. It is not happening. Even the church owned Salt Lake Tribune reported that its missionary effort is failing. [That's you, Bret] See my recent newsletters that detail those facts on www.saintsalive.com.
The LDS church is losing 80% of its missionary converts in the first year and 25% of its missionaries while on their missions and half of the rest after they get home after a full mission. Why is that, Bret..? Because you lie to the people, con them into the church... and they find out after a few months of sitting in Ward meetings, pack up, and leave.
In the last 30 years, I,

You need to pray about those doctrines you do not share with the investigator, why you hold back certain doctrines until they are snared into the church. Is it because these doctrines are the doctrines of demons we have been warned about in the Scripture?
Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times
some will depart from the faith,
giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons.
1 Tim 4:1
But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent
deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is
in Christ
For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached,
or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received,
or a different gospel which you have not accepted you may well put up with it!
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of
Christ.
And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers
of righteousness,
whose end will be according to their works.
2 Cor 11:2-4,13-15
Today, because you cannot hide any longer
behind the ' quaintness' factor of the Mormon Church, the church is losing members faster
than you can drag them in.. That why the church is fielding so many thousands less
missionaries. Who would want to send their kids when, between the ones who fail
their mission and those who drop out after they get home, only a few remain active in the
church after their sacrifice of two years.??
Finally, Bret you quote scripture to me "Again Ed, by their fruits you shall know
them... " It is
interesting that you use that verse, because it isn't
