We wrap up our foray into early Christian theology (for now) and discuss some of the unique aspects of Latter-day Saint theology that are different from traditional Christians.  Again, we apologize for the poor audio quality.

Transcript

The discussion about Latter-day Saint beliefs about Christ and early Christian history continues from the previous week. Because we were traveling outside of our “studio” but wanted to deliver a podcast, the audio quality is poor on this and the next episode.  We apologize for that.  The content is the same level of quality you get every week; we will let you determine what that is.

A recent uptick in social media conversations about whether or not Latter-day Saints (Mormons) are really Christians causes Gerrit and Richard to wade into early Christian theology. You have not lived until you have had a discussion about Arianism.

In this episode Gerrit examines the claims that particular emphasis was given to part of Joseph Smith History by way of punctuation.  Few things are more exciting than punctuation.

In this episode, Gerrit finally gets to the Mormon Battalion and exposes James K. Polk as the liar he is. Controversial we know, we only hope that Gerrit’s aggressive attacks on President Polk will not offend our Polkite listeners. We also discuss the temple work done for the Founding Fathers and Wilford Woodruff’s vision.

In this episode, we continue with our discussion of the context for the Mormon Battalion as the Federal Government continues its disinformation campaign with the Saints. We share some specific conversations that Jesse Little has with Thomas Kane and President James Polk.

We start the episode as we usually do by ranking hells. Mormon hell is obviously the best, then Jehovah's Witness hell and Catholic purgatory. Gerrit has been upfront with his anti-camping agenda but extends his feelings about camping to Trek.

We discuss Samuel Brannan, head of the Church in the Eastern U.S., telling Brigham Young that the Secretary of War is saying that the saints need to be obliterated. We also talk about Manifest Destiny and Gerrit says that this time in history Mormons are the American can opener, rarely used but hugely useful.

In this episode, we continue our discussion of a self-published anti-Mormon book. We talk about the poor genealogical research done by the author (thank you for the help Family Search). We also address Polygamy and DNA testing, claims of Sydney Rigdon writing the Book of Mormon, and last but not least claims of attempted William Law wife swapping. 

With our first Standard of Truth Book Review, we give Mormon Counterfeiting the lowest of possible scores: 13 Willard Richard’s pistols down
