While the South (Judah) had some righteous kings, the north did NOT.. Right from the start the king of Israel (Jeroboam) took up other gods making Israel sin.. He appointed priest and they offered sacrifice to two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. And he made an high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi (1Kings 12).. Therefore God sold Israel into ***yria long before Babylon came down to punish Judah for Her sin.. Israel was ***imilated into ***yria while Judah kept her national iden***y.. For within Judah was Jerusalem, and within Jerusalem was the Temple, the reason for priesthood.

Building high places for Israel to worship was evil in the sight of God.. There is one and only one place on the whole earth where God has chosen to have a house built to His name.. Mormonism has chosen the way of Jeroboam and has built many high places to worship it's gods.. If you think this line of scripture can prove anything for mormonism you have no been shown that it is just the opposite. It disproves any religion that will build a high place anyplace but the place God has chosen.. Even after the LDS church has built many temples the place God has chosen to put His name to have a house built for His glory remains empty and in ruin.. And the only reason for this is that mormonism follows the same path as Jeroboam in building High Places to it's false gods.. IHS jim
