If you think about it, building a comparison between the ingredients in a jug of Sunny D and the individual articles in the Mormon Articles of Faith will show the true make up of both products – and where they fail to live up to the product which they aspire to be. The comparisons are:
Sunny D ingredients – Mormon Article of Faith
1. Water – God, Son, and Holy Ghost
2. High Fructose and Corn Syrup – Sin And Original Sin
3. 2% or Less of Each of the Following: Concentrated Juices
(Orange, Tangerine, Apple, Lime, Grapefruit) – Atonement
4. Citric Acid and Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) – Mormon Ordinances
5. Beta-Carotene – God’s Calling
6. Thiamin Hydrochloride (Vitamin B1) – Church Organization
7. Natural Flavors – Gifts
8. Food Starch-Modified – Book of Mormon as the Word of God
9. Canola Oil – Revelations from God (Past, Present, & Future)
10. Cellulose Gum and Xanthan Gum – Establishment of God’s Kingdom
11. Sodium Hexametaphosphate – Right to Worship
12. Sodium Benzoate To Protect Flavor – Civil Obedience
13. Yellow #5 and Yellow #6 – Salvation based on Works
We will examine the Book of Mormon’s explanation of each Article of Faith in detail, and highlight their conflict with Christian concepts as found in Holy Scripture of the Bible.
