The LDS Church claims its apostles are just like the original Twelve—called of God, special witnesses of Christ, and part of a restored authority. But what if that claim doesn’t hold up to their own standard? In this episode, we break down the biblical qualifications for apostleship—and show exactly how modern LDS apostles fail every one of them. From the absence of direct encounters with Christ, to changing definitions of “special witness,” to doctrinal contradictions buried in the Doctrine and Covenants—this isn’t just a doctrinal difference. It’s a system built on borrowed titles and unearned authority. We’re not here to promote another religion. We’re here to hold the LDS Church accountable to the very scriptures it claims to restore.
