Our ministry created this page to give Christians a topical understanding of what the Bible says about many common subjects that relate to Mormonism. This topical guide serves as an effective tool in finding Biblical references so you can more effectively minister to your LDS friends using God's Holy Word. Click on any subject to see its Biblical references as well as short descriptions* of each passage.
*The LDS church exclusively uses the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible. Certain passages read differently between the KJV and more modern translations. To make this list more effective for ministering, the descriptions of certain verses have been written to reflect the KJV translation and are notated as such.

The Apostasy
Not one iota of the law will pass away until all is accomplished
Many will fall away and betray and hate one another
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away
Parable of Sower, seeds that fall on rock have no root and when tested fall away
To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus for all generations forever
Second coming is near when the falling away happens
In later times some will depart from the faith
Turn away from the truth with itching ears to teachers that suit their passions
Acceptable sacrifice is a broken heart and contrite spirit
Righteous acts are like filthy rags
Righteousness must exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees
Lord, Lord, look at our mighty works in your name- I never knew you
Those who are sick need a physician; sinners, not righteous are called
Pharisees are like dishes that appear clean, whitewashed tombs
No one is good except God alone
Parable of Pharisee and tax collector
No one is good but God alone
No one is righteous, not even one
Nothing good dwells in our flesh, we are wretched sinners
Zeal not according to knowledge, establishing their own righteousness
We have confidence of sufficiency, not in ourselves, but God
Witchcraft, necromancy, and divination is abominable in God’s sight
Let the dead bury the dead
Fulfillment of Malachi 4:5-6
White-washed sepulchers but inside full of dead men’s bones
Parable of Rich Man and Lazarus- dead won’t be sent back to warn
God is not the God of the dead but of the living
THEY who are baptized for the dead… and why do WE stand… (KJV)
Don’t heed endless genealogies
Avoid genealogies
Repentance from dead works
Christ will build His church, gates of hell will not prevail against it
Where two or three are gathered in Jesus’ name He will be there also
A house divided against itself will not be able to stand
One body, many members with different functions
No divisions, united in same mind and judgment
Gifts of Spirit are given as He wills, no part is more important than the others
The church is Christ’s body
One body, one spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism
Christ loved the church, cleanses her by the washing of water with the word
The church is the Body of Christ
Peacemakers to be called the sons of God
Those who believe given the right to become children of God
Those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God

We receive adoption as sons because of Jesus
Predestined to adoption as sons of God through Jesus
What love the Father bestowed on us, that we are called children of God
NOW we are children of God
Children of God practice righteousness and love their brother
Jesus did not come to bring peace but a sword, dividing families

The Cross
Whoever doesn’t take up cross and follow Jesus isn’t worthy
Deny yourself and take up your cross and follow Jesus
Deny yourself and take up your cross and follow Jesus
Deny yourself and take up your cross daily and follow Jesus

Through the foolishness of the cross God saved us, we preach Christ crucified
I am crucified with Christ
May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord
Jesus reconciled all believers to God through the cross
Jesus was obedient by going to the cross
Walk as enemies of the cross
Jesus made peace through the blood of His cross
Jesus cancelled the debt that opposed us and nailed it to the cross
Christ’s sacrifice on the cross once for all sanctifies us
For the joy that was set before Him Jesus endured the cross
Eternal Progression
Satan tempted Eve with the false prospect of being like God

Abraham believed God and it was counted to him as righteousness

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away
Whoever abides in my word is my disciple and knows the truth and is set free
Study the scriptures to test any message
Faith comes from hearing the message, message comes from the word
All scripture God-breathed and good for teaching, rebuking, etc.
Word of God is living, active, sharper than a two-edged sword
Something more sure, the prophetic word, a lamp in a dark place
Paul’s writings are hard to understand for some, but are still scripture
Good Fruits
Let your light shine so others may see your good works and glorify God

Expose secret works of darkness
Temples
God fills heaven and earth, a temple cannot contain Him

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path
The heart is deceitful above all things
Jesus tests the devil’s temptations with the scriptures
Out of the heart comes evil thoughts, false witness, deceit

If you love me, you will keep my commandments
Whoever has my commandments and keeps them loves me
If anyone loves me he will keep my word
If we remain in Christ we will produce fruit, apart from Him we can do nothing
A Jew is one inwardly not merely outwardly
Justified by faith not works of law
To the one who works his wages are his due, not a gift
Should we sin because we’re under grace? No! We are slaves of righteousness
Set free to bear fruit for God
Salvation depends not on human will or exertion but on God’s mercy
If we’re saved by grace then it’s not of works or grace would cease to be grace
Offer your bodies as living sacrifices
