Counterfeit, fake, bogus, imitation, forgery, fraud, copy,
reproduction, simulation, impersonation, deception, deceived, tricked,
hoodwinked, hoax, dupe, mislead, delude, outwit, beguile, betray.... could
we also include the word "clone?"
We all recognize these words, as well as understand their meaning.
We are faced with counterfeit money. Money that is so close to the real thing, no untrained or naked eye can detect it. These bills are marked with a magic marker in order to detect real from fake when received by a banker or cashier.
Some people are so good at forgery, it takes an expert to tell the difference in signatures.
To make a copy of the original, is still a copy, an imitation of the original. Depending on the copy machine, it can be very difficult to see the difference.
Clone is an exact duplicate of its parent. But it is still a duplicate that cannot be detected by the untrained eye, mostly by scientific methods.
Lets take a $20 bill. It looks like a twenty, feels like a twenty, even smells like a twenty.... but I get up to the register to trade it for my merchandise. The cashier marks it with her marker & it doesn't turn the color it's supposed to.... it's not a twenty...But! The other store gave it to me as change back! Look! I worked hard to earn my money, you can't hold me responsible for another store giving me a bogus 20!
I'm outta luck! Off to jail I go for trying to pass off counterfeit money.
What is it about the LDS faithful they think they are immune to counterfeits? It looks good, sounds good, best of all, it feels good, until you get to those pearly gates & your spirit is detected as false. A Mormon might say: It's not my fault the Mormon doctrines lied to me! I worked hard in the "church" and I gave God my all, even 10% of my income to cover church expenses. I gave fast offerings monthly to feed the hungry. Gave all my old clothes to D.I. so the poor could buy them at dirt cheap prices.... those were expensive clothes. Every time I prayed, I prayed in the name of Jesus. In just the last 10 years, I had 100% attendance. Kept my temple recommend current. Did my duty to all my callings. I followed the feelings in my heart that beckoned me. I can't help they led me astray, it's not my fault!
Too bad....you were told that only the Holy Spirit could testify Jesus as the Son of God... but even the demons believe the Son of God, they even testify of Him.... God warned you, He gave you His word.... but you turned to someone else because you just couldn't trust Him; you had to look for something that felt better; sounded better and looked good to others; gave you the feeling that God cannot be trusted, He cannot even keep His word holy...
Some of you hold a priesthood and claim to have authority He did not give. For this God gave you the book of Hebrews.
Some Mormons say that evidence destroys faith and that salvation is for everyone, but "exaltation" {ultimate Mormon salvation} is for those who've been baptized and have received secret handshakes (tokens and signs) to get there, so who needs evidence?! For this God gave you the book of Romans.
Mormonism would have us believe that one must be baptized in water by the proper authority, and this same authority is the only one to give you the Holy Spirit. For real baptism God gave you the book of Acts.
To receive Him, God gave you John 3.
All of these books, chapters and passages boil down to one thing.... He gave you Jesus.
There are many counterfeits out there. If they were easy to detect, they would not be called counterfeits. God gave us these wonderful books in the Bible to test these counterfeits. This is where we find our markers to detect them. The Holy Spirit does not contradict God's word. On this, you can stake your eternal life.

Editor's note: Romans ch. 1:20 "For
since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power
and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has
been made, so that men are without excuse."
