BYU Students Asked Their “Favorite Scripture” and the Results Are NOT Good!
Longtime readers of WLT Report know I am not a big fan of Mormonism….
Sorry folks, but I’m just not.
My #1 driving mission behind this website is to print the TRUTH and there is not much truth to be found in Mormonism.
Even worse, they cloak themselves as “Christians” and call themselves Christians, but they’re not. Not by a longshot.
Even basic logic will tell you that, because if they were simply Christians, they wouldn’t need to keep knocking on my door trying to “convert” me!
I’ll dive deeper into WHY I find Mormonism so dangerous, but right now I want to show you this video on the BYU campus (the most prime Mormon territory) and show you what students on campus say are their favorite “Bible” verses.
SPOILER ALERT: I bet you have not heard of almost ANY of these if you’re Christian and not Mormon:

If you’re like me, you might be interested in exactly what those verses actually say….
So I went out and researched each and every one for you and I’ll group them into two categories: Bible and non-Bible.
Fascinating stuff:
Christian Bible Verses
These verses are found in the traditional Christian Bible, specifically in the New Testament books of Matthew and Romans, and the Old Testament book of Isaiah.
Matthew 6:7
And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. (NIV)
Matthew 7:6
“Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.” (NKJV)
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (KJV)
Romans 5:3
Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because suffering produces perseverance: (NIV)
Isaiah 10
This reference is for the entire chapter, which is too long to include here. Isaiah chapter 10 deals primarily with God’s judgment on Assyria for their pride and oppressive acts, followed by a prophecy of the salvation of a remnant of Israel.
Book of Mormon Verses
These verses are found in the Book of Mormon, which is a foundational text for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (often referred to as Mormon).
Mosiah 4:9
Believe in God; believe that he is, and that he created all things, both in heaven and in earth; believe that he has all wisdom, and all power, both in heaven and in earth; believe that man doth not comprehend all the things which the Lord can comprehend.
Helaman 5:12
And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless woe, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.
Alma 7:23–24
23 And now I would that ye should be humble, and be submissive and gentle; easy to be entreated; full of patience and long-suffering; being temperate in all things; being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times; asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, both spiritual and temporal; always returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do receive. 24 And see that ye have faith, hope, and charity, and then will ye always abound in good works.
1 Nephi 3:7
And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them.
Alma 26:11–12
11 But Ammon said unto him: I do not boast in my own strength, nor in my own wisdom; but behold, my joy is full, yea, my heart is brim with joy, and I will rejoice in my God. 12 Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever.
3 Nephi 5:13
And behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been called of him to declare his word among his people, that they might have everlasting life.
2 Nephi 31:20
Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.
2 Nephi 22:2
Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid; for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also has become my salvation.
Enos 1:12
And it came to pass that after I had prayed and labored with all diligence, the Lord said unto me: I will grant unto thee according to thy desires, because of thy faith.
Moroni 10:32
Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny his power.
You learn something new every day….I always thought Helaman 5:12 said: “Ye shall purchase Mayonnaise from the store, only Hellmann’s brand, and put it on everything you eat!”
Ok, I digress….

Mormon Religion In A Nutshell – John MacArthur
Every once in a while, I like to bring you something out of the ordinary.
At least out of the ordinary for what we normally cover.
This is one of those articles.
I came across this a while back and it’s been on my list of things to cover when I had time.
Today is the day, and since it’s Sunday it seemed like the right time.
WARNING: this may trigger some people.
Sorry about that, but I have to post the truth and exposing the Mormon religion is something that needs to be posted.
By “exposing” all I mean is publishing what they truly believe.
And that’s with John MacArthur does in this video.
So if you’re triggered, that’s ok — I’m still going to post it.
Watch here, it’s short:
TRANSCRIPT:
Audience Member:
For Dr. MacArthur, yesterday you spoke a little bit about Mormonism, and today about how Jesus is the only way. At my school and places, I encountered these people, and yeah, we disagree, but they say we basically believe, we believe in Jesus too, and we believe he died on the cross. I was wondering how I can talk to them and how I would approach them without, like, I don’t want to call them demon worshipers or anything like that.
John MacArthur:
You may get to that of necessity. Just to talk about Mormonism for a moment, because we all confront this. I’ve had a couple of personal private meetings with the theological brain trust of BYU, who came down and spent hours and hours with me.
Robert Millett, I don’t know if you know that name, who writes most of their stuff on theology. And we have talked through all of these issues. Here’s the problem. They are polytheists. They have millions of gods, just millions of them, and more all the time. Every time Mormons have a baby, they potentiate another god.
So this is anything but Christian in its view of God. They have a Christ who is another Jesus. And another Jesus is a way to preach another Jesus and you get cursed. I have nothing to do with them or become a partaker of their evil deeds.
But what they said to me was, “We love Jesus.” In fact, they said, “We love Jesus so much, and we want our young people at BYU to love Jesus, and so we’ve had our students in some of the classes read The Gospel According to Jesus that you wrote, to help them to love Jesus more.”
I went into panic. What did I leave out? That was not a good experience for me. But they said to me, “We also believe in grace.” And they do.
They have this sort of massive grace concept that most people, even though they don’t become Mormons, they won’t get. There are three heavens in Mormonism, and only one of them is where you want to be. The other two are where you’re stuck with being single forever.
There’s a lot of weird sexuality in Mormonism, as you know, that is part of it. But there’s this first heaven, which is where grace operates. And this is a kind of near-universalism, where just because God is gracious, He’ll let you into that place, and it’s better than hell. Most people will get to that place, but you’re stuck being single and you’re stuck in a deprived situation.
But if you have any desire to get to the second or the third, then you better crank up the works. So in the end: wrong God, wrong Christ, wrong way of salvation. They also say the Bible is corrupt. You see that in all their literature.
The Bible has been corrupted. It is not trustworthy. It is not always right. It is not correct. And you have to turn to them for the correct interpretation of it and all of that. So I think you can start with the authority of Scripture.
You can start with the person of God. You can start with the person of Christ, or you can start with salvation by grace. They even said to me, “We believe in salvation by grace.” And I said, “Well, explain the full extent of that.” Well, God didn’t have to give us a way to earn our way into heaven, so it’s a gracious thing that He allows us to do that.
But I think you can pick any one of those you want, or try one and then try another, but you need to first distance them from Christianity. This is the thing they’re trying… they’re trying to close the gap. This is their formidable effort.
You need to make sure they understand that this is more like Hinduism and paganism and false religion than it is anything to do with Christianity. And so they need to understand that. They are anything but Christian. They are seriously, fatally, and terminally non-Christian.
Another Speaker:
John, don’t you think that there’s a schizophrenia in Mormonism in the sense that in this kind of a context, they desperately want to be considered as Christians, but the whole rhetoric of Mormonism has been, “Christianity has been corrupted, and we alone have corrected it. We only understand it. But we want to be considered one of you too.” At the same time, both of those sides are played.
John MacArthur:
That’s right, and the best that can be said of us who are non-Mormons is that we may get into grace heaven, the lowest heaven, and be stuck being single forever, and with all the deprivations that also go along with that situation.
Backup here if needed:
And since I never like to leave you with just a negative, I give you this.
