Mormons believe the Bible, so that makes them Christians, right? We've all heard a lot of stereotypes about Mormonism, but are any of them actually true? Is Mormonism just another denomination of Christianity?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and a first time guest on the show, Pastor Mike Blahnik, talk through the similarities and differences of Christianity and Mormonism by comparing the scriptures of each to come up with a clear cut answer on how Christians should view Mormonism. We hope that through this episode, you can be better acquainted with the Bible and have the tools to have a meaningful discussion should you engage in a theological conversation with a Mormon.

The 17:17 podcast is a ministry of Roseville Baptist Church (MN) that seeks to tackle cultural issues and societal questions from a biblical worldview so that listeners discover what the Bible has to say about the key issues they face on a daily basis. The 17:17 podcast seeks to teach the truth of God's Word in a way that is glorifying to God and easy to understand with the hope of furthering God's kingdom in Spirit and in Truth. 

Scriptures: Gal. 1:6-9; Heb. 13:8; Deut. 6:4; Isa. 43:10-11; Gen. 1:27; Gal. 3:28; Jam. 2:8-9; 2 Tim 3:16-17; 2 Pet. 1:19-21; Eph. 2:8-10; Titus 3:5; Matt. 25:46; Rev. 21:1-2.

We quote from past Mormon Presidents, the Book of Mormon, Doctrines and Covenants, Gospel Principles, and The Pearl of the Great Price throughout the episode as well. These are all viewed as authoritative in the Mormon faith.
