"1. Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. "2. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. ... "7. For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that. "8. I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. "9. But if they cannot contain, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn." 1 Corinthians 7:1-2, 7-9

Our MissionOur message is especially directed at Mormons and Bible-believing Christians with Mormon family and friends. Our love for Mormons is demonstrated by honestly proclaiming the Bible as the Word of God and comparing it with Mormon teachings. Mormons claim to believe the Bible, but prefer their own leaders' "revelations" above its plain teachings. Historical and other aspects of Mormonism are examined from the Christian perspective. Joseph Smith, founder of Mormonism, charged his followers to confront the charges presented by his challengers. (Doctrine and Covenants 71:7-8) Thus it is in the Christian spirit of heart-to-heart dialogue that the Mormon is invited to consider the materials presented on this website. As a starting point, they are urged to download Bible Scriptures for Mormons which follows on this page and study it carefully before they continue the dialogue. Update 12/04/09: Special Christmas Greetings! This is the season when Christians around the world rejoice in the fact that God sent his Son into this world to redeem all those who seek after Him in Spirit and in Truth! May the Prince of Peace rule in your hearts now and in the coming New Year! Update 9/13/09: The "Feedback" page has been updated with some very interesting theological discussions which will especially appeal to Book of Mormon believers! Check out the latest interchange with Tammy Hughes! Update 8/22/09: Do check out the latest translations of "My Visit With Two Mormon Missionaries" into Arabic and Thai! Alert your friends with contacts in those languages and countries and help protect them against the continual barrage of propaganda of Mormon missionaries visiting them with the message that the creeds of all other churches are an abomination in the eyes of God. Update 10/14/08: If you really want to understand Utah Mormons, read "Destroying Angel" (2008) by Charles M. Larson. It is available on Amazon.com. It minutely examines the entire gamut of Utah Mormon mentality, dramatizing actual historical events with the actual names of persons involved in a modern-day context. Topics it covers are: polygamy today, the skin-curse on American Indians, the Blood Atonement doctrine, and the Mountain Meadows Massacre. It is written in an unbiased manner, from neither a Mormon nor a Christian perspective, attempting to be fair to all the different groups it treats. It is must reading for both Mormons and non-Mormons who want to understand them.
Update, 10/3/08: I attended the conference of the Mountain Meadows Monument Foundation, Inc., in Harrison, Arkansas on September 11-13. At last, the Mormon Church is facing up to the horrible deeds committed by its leaders in Southern Utah on September 11, 1857, and is making available to the public the enormous amount of documentation it has gathered on that subject. I salute this step of reconciliation by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with the descendents of those 120+ who were massacred on that day and only regret that it has taken 150 years after-the-fact for them to do so. Update, 4/22/08: Latest reports from Salt Lake City, Utah state that the Mormon Church has decided to concede the properties of the Mountain Meadows Massacre to the Federal Government to become a Historical Landmark. Many thanks to the thousands of you who signed and sent in the petition for this to happen. You may click on "petition" which is located in the left column as well as near the bottom of this page to read it. *To find out one reason Bible scholars find it difficult to take Mormon theologians seriously, read "Concerning the Godhead" on the "Feedback" page. Bible Reading For Today: And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. Revelation 5:1-4 **Click "Bible Scriptures for Mormons" for Bible passages that have been featured on this page and brief statements contrasting the teachings of Bible-based Christianity and the teachings of Mormonism.
Ministry ProfileDean Helland Ministries
Dr. Helland was raised believing the Book of Mormon to be the Word of God, but after intensive study, suddenly realized that his faith had been misplaced, and that the Bible contains God's unchanged and unchanging message.
He knew that he loved Jesus Christ and wanted to serve Him with all of his heart and ended up getting two theological degrees at Oral Roberts University. He then served fifteen years with his family on the mission field in Chile. He has served in Christian ministry for over 40 years. _____________________________
To all who visit this web site, Dr. Helland says, "God bless you for doing your part in helping win to the Lord my people--the Mormons!" Did you know that the Mormon Church did not stop practicing polygamy immediately in 1890 when that practice was officially discontinued by the Mormon Church? Read the amazing book by Frank J. Cannon, a former U.S. Senator from Utah entitled Under the Prophet in Utah. Over and over again, we hear the news media reporting on the polygamous Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They generally start off by saying that it has nothing to do with the Mormon Church. This "politically correct" statement ignores that it is a historic split from the Mormon Church which actually adheres to the original teachings of Joseph Smith. These teachings are still found in the current Mormon scriptures, specifically in the Doctrine and Covenants, Section 132. Thank God for the firm hand of the U.S. government back in 1890 when the United States was still a Christian nation! Otherwise, Mormons would be having the same sordid problems as their fundamentalist cousins!
