I’m posting an informative article that describes a well known tactic used by false teachers in the Mormon cult. Unfortunately this kind of deception is used by other false teachers as well not just those in Mormonism.
The best examples analogous of this kind of deception used in somewhat similar fashions on this forum appear to be practiced by Klutxpooh, Quiznos A Quack and Chuckk L Muckk who deceptively hijack Christian terminology and pretend to be followers of Jesus.
It’s interesting to note that false teachers who opposed Jesus claimed to be devoted followers of Moses. They hated Jesus because he repeatedly exposed their hypocrisy and false teachings just like Quiznos and Klutxpah hate those exposing their hypocrisy and false teaching.
Even more interesting is the fact that false teachers who opposed Moses claimed to be followers of God!!

TERMINOLOGY DIFFERENCES
By Sandra Tanner
Introduction
Whenever an evangelical Christian and a Latter-day Saint engage in a doctrinal discussion they encounter the problem of terminology. LDS leaders use the standard vocabulary of Christianity but with radically different definitions. A Christian should never take for granted that his/her LDS friend understands common Christian terms in the biblical way.
Because the Bible has many warnings about false prophets (Matthew 24:11, 24; 2 Corinthians 11:4, 13; 1 John 4:1) and people teaching strange doctrines (2 Peter 2:12; Galatians 1:6-8; Hebrews 13:9), it is essential that we understand what the Bible says on various doctrines.
The references below will demonstrate that the LDS Church is indeed teaching a different god and a counterfeit gospel, thus offering a false hope.
The following list of Christian terms will be defined by LDS sources and then by biblical quotes. While this is not a complete list of terminology differences, it will cover the most basic ones. For a more detailed look at terminology differences, see The Counterfeit Gospel of Mormonism.

Apostle Paul or Impostor Paul? In light of the words of YHSHUA in Revelation 2 about a false apostle and congratulating the church who figured that out ... Paul called himself an Apostle and seemingly taught a different gospel.. I expect to be hated for questioning this at all but if Christ thought it was important to know then perhaps we should consider Paul to just be another person like the rest of us who wrote letters to churches he did not even start, before You judge me on this please look deeply into it and pray for wisdom
This forum is being deluged and flooded with multiple **FALSE PROPHETS** in the last 6 months!! The newest one is HiddenMountain, then we have had Khutzpah, Quiznos, Chuckles, Sadlup, Zecharyah, ADAM7777 and Hark!!
They are all looking for an Satanic earthly kingdom instead of a Heavenly Kingdom?? They also do not believe that Jesus is our **GREAT** GOD** and **SAVIOR** and that the New Testament and all the books of Paul are not inspired by God???

2 Corinthians 11:12-15: For such people are **FALSE APOSTLES**, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve!
I John 4:1,4-6: Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God because many **FALSE PROPHETS**have gone out into the world!... You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. They are from the world and therefore **SPEAK FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF THE WORLD**, and the world listens to them. We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood!
2 Peter 2:1-3: But there were **FALSE PROPHETS** among the people, just as there will be **FALSE TEACHERS** among you.

I Peter 1:23-25: For you have been **BORN AGAIN THROUGH** the **LIVING AND ENDURING WORD OF GOD**. For all people {Like False Prophets} are like grass and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the **WORD OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER**.

2 Timothy 3:16,17; 4:1-4: **ALL SCRIPTURE IS GOD-BREATHED** and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of His appearing and His Kingdom, I give you this charge: **PREACH THE WORD** {**WHICH IS THE ENTIRE NEW COVENANT**} Be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when people {Like **KHUTZPAH**} will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths!
John 16:12-14: Jesus says, "I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into all the Truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will **GLORIFY ME** BECAUSE IT IS **FROM ME** THAT HE WILL RECEIVE WHAT HE MAKE KNOWN TO YOU**!
And holy spirit inspired the 8 writers of the 27 books of the New Testament to write everything Jesus told him to write!!

Acts 22:14,15: Ananias said to Paul, "The God of our ancestors has chosen you **TO KNOW HIS WILL**and to see the Righteous One and to **HEAR WORDS FROM HIS MOUTH**. You will be **HIS WITNESS TO ALL PEOPLE OF WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN AND HEARD**!"
THE GREAT COMMISSION: Matthew 28:18-20: Jesus says, “**ALL AUTHORITY** in heaven and on ***EARTH*** has been given to **ME** {Not some RC Pope}. Therefore go and make disciples of *ALL NATIONS*...teaching them to **OBEY EVERYTHING** {The entire NT} I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very *END OF THE AGE*!”
John 12:48: Jesus says, There is a Judge for the one who does not accept My Words {Like Acts 26:16-18 above}; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the Last Day!!"
I’m not surprised at the kind of quackery being peddled on the forum by false teachers like Quiznos.
On the one hand, Quiznos gets mad because l quote others who also expose the kind of false teaching Quiznos likes.
On the other hand, Quiznos quotes quacks who likewise “hear voices” from the **unholy spirit** that Quiznos thinks is the Holy Spirit.
Quiznos doesn’t realize I care more for his soul than the quacks he likes and blindly follows and who feed him damning false doctrine.
Jesus said men loved darkness more than light because their deeds are evil. Evil men refuse to come in to the light because they don’t want their evil deeds exposed by the light of the gospel.
Men who choose evil deny the light of the word of God because their deeds are evil.
John 3:20 New International Version
Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.
John 3:20 New Living Translation
All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed.

2 Peter 3:15,16: Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just as our **DEAR BROTHER PAUL** also wrote you with the **WISDOM THAT GOD GAVE TO HIM** He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand {For the unsaved} which ignorant unstable people {Like HiddenMountain} distort as they do other Scriptures, to their own destruction! {Eternal torment in Hell}
Hiddenmountain, why would anyone hate you for speaking your mind? Sadly you’re in error, but the most loving thing anyone can do for you is to correct your errors.
I find it odd you’re worried about people supposedly “hating” you when you call Paul an “impostor” yet it concerns you very little about calling a man of God like Paul an impostor.
who deceptively hijack Christian terminology and pretend to be followers of Jesus. 
They hated Jesus because he repeatedly exposed their hypocrisy and false teachings just like Quiznos and Klutxpah hate those exposing their hypocrisy and false teaching.
