Episode notes
Evangelicals Aren't Capturing Departing Mormons
- Many who leave Mormonism move to atheism, agnosticism, or 'nothing', not to evangelical Christianity.
- Eric Johnson argues Christians must better present the Bible's gospel to reach those leaving LDS.
Mormon Doctrine Diverges Deeply From Historic Christianity
- Mormon doctrine denies historic Christian fundamentals like an eternal, immaterial Trinity.
- Johnson stresses Christians must explain those doctrinal differences compassionately.
Translate Terms Before Debating Doctrines
- Define LDS terms when you speak so words like 'God' or 'grace' mean the same to both of you.
- Use Johnson's glossary approach to translate LDS language into Christian terms.
