Episode notes
Necessity of Divine Revelation
- Divine revelation is necessary to establish absolutes and make valid ultimate claims.
- Without an ultimate source beyond human fallibility, meaningful statements about life's purpose are impossible.
Limits of Personal Testimony
- Personal testimonies in Mormon evangelism often lead to circular reasoning.
- Multiple independent Christian testimonies have greater credibility over a single personal claim.
Adventures with Seventh-day Adventists
- John Warwick Montgomery experienced poor cuisine on Seventh-day Adventist expeditions to Mount Ararat.
- Despite odd dietary practices, the denomination engages in effective evangelism on college campuses.
