Thoughtful Faith

What do "Mormons" believe about salvation? Do they believe in a “works-based" or “performance-based gospel? What if what you have been told about Latter-day Saints is not true? What if they believe in the same covenant model of salvation taught in the New Testament?

Are we saved by works? By Faith? By Grace? What if people totally misunderstand what Paul is saying because they are using Paul to answer questions Paul wasn’t even asking? What if the reformers were using Paul to try and justify their break from the catholic when Paul himself was trying to deal with an entirely different situation.

I recently jumped into a live conversation on X with two Protestants named Lizzie, both of whom have become well known for their steady stream of posts criticizing The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

They had invited Latter-day Saints to join the Space and defend what we actually believe while several Protestants challenged us on everything from LDS doctrine to Church history.

I was content to listen—until the conversation turned to the Great Apostasy.

That’s when I decided to jump in.

What followed was a wide-ranging and surprisingly intense discussion about the early Christian Church, apostolic authority, and whether the historical evidence actually supports the Protestant narrative about what happened to Christianity after the apostles.

And then, toward the end, the conversation took a turn I definitely wasn’t expecting.

Here’s what happened.

If "Mormons" don't believe in an infallible source, how do they know what is actually from God? How do they avoid just picking and choosing what they believe? Are there good reasons to think Mormo prophets are actually inspired by God?  How can we tell?

Tucker Carlson and Nathan Apffel discuss the financial status of the "Mormon Church" (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints) as well as the biblical basis for tithing... and they totally miss the mark.
