Mormonism on SermonAudio

Covered three main topics on our road trip program from Grand Junction today, going about an hour and fifteen minutes. We started off with a response to a Mormon in reference to my presentation last evening at Calvary Bible Church on bridging the communication gap with Mormons. Then we looked at a fine post by Ron Henzel on Acts 13:48 in response to Provisionists actually pushing the NWT's tortured rendering of that text. We then got back to the Confession of Dositheus, and finished looking at Decree 3, noting how it uses the same prevenient grace argumentation of modern Arminianism.

3:00 My child has rejected Christianity and embraced an LGBTQ lifestyle, how do I maintain a relationship with them? 5:23 How do I deal with a situation where someone is telling my wife she is a Christian, when I know she's not? 15:40 Will Mormons go to heaven? 23:21 Is Jordan Petersen okay for Christians to listen to? 33:29 Why does Peter call Jesus the prince or leader in Acts 5:31? 38:23 What does Jesus mean when he says "if they are not against us, they are for us" and is there any application for today? 46:10 What is the timing of the Ezekiel 38 & 39 wars with the tribulation and rapture?

Road Trip DL today from northern Arizona. We started with a response to Hayden Carroll on the subject of omniscience, and then moved to a discussion of a recent video I listened to attacking penal substitutionary atonement. We then read through a major portion of Isaiah 53 in reference to this topic. Might sneak another program in to get back to Dositheus, but that is dependent on travel.

Looked at a recent statement from Leighton Flowers that sure looks a lot like Open Theism, then moved on to some more evidence of how far removed Mormonism is from Biblical Christianity. Finished up listening to a section of Jay Dyer on Tucker Carlson talking about the "ancient church" and the Reformation.

Dr. White covers three main topics before heading up to Colorado! Today features a response to Patrick Madrid on Galatians 5:4, a look at the Mormon doctrine of God, and the conclusion of the Confession of Cyril Lucaris.

Mainly spent our time looking at an excellent example of what Mormonism's doctrine of "god" brings them to when discussing election and sovereignty, and then we almost finished up the Confession of Cyril Lucaris, talking about faith, justification, and the sacraments.
