Episode notes
Mormonism's Core Issue
- Mormonism's core problem lies in its distinct gospel and theology, not Joseph Smith's character.
- It presents a drastically different view of God, His will, and salvation.
Mormon Cosmology vs. Genesis
- Mormons believe the universe is eternally existent, contradicting Genesis 1.
- They interpret the Hebrew word "bara" as organizing pre-existing matter, not creating.
Pre-Mortal Existence
- In Mormonism, individuals pre-existed as intelligences, undefined consciousnesses.
- These intelligences progress to become spirit babies, born through celestial sex.
