  She is RIGHT ✅️ Joseph Smith he saw Angels not God THE FATHER and God the SON JESUS CHRIST OUR SAVIOR. Liars about first vision.

  Andrew is not as 'charismatic' a speaker as Matt, but he adhered to Scripture throughout. I watched this debate to seek clarity and I am very happy to find it in Andrew's hermeneutics.

  Wow, we have clearly read the same books on Mormonism. He is right about being able to write a book on such material. I wrote a book that focuses on the doctrine of exaltation! Good stuff!

  Israelites were monotheistic. See Isaiah 43:10 “You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me." Joseph Smith was polytheistic. These are two different religions, no matter how hard the LDS church tries to convince you otherwise.

  you ought to buy william lane craig's book(s), but if you don't like him, then buy sean mcdowells' book(s), or Greg Koukl, Lee Strobel, eric hernandez', but maybe you would prefer frank tureks book(s) or even mike liconah's, or gary habermas', or best yet buy J.P. Moreland's books, god answered his prayers even if it was for a pool table, one thing is for sure though, you won't buy a jesus book cos he didn't have the foresight to write ANYTHING. he employed "ghost" writers.

  Awesome session! There was so much more that I got out of this session than what I thought I would. I am an ex-Mormon from Ohio, now in pastoral ministry. Much of what was taught here, I have said for years. The resources shared in this class sound awesome as well! Came across your channel a few days ago when I saw the interview with Sandra Tanner posted. I was saddened to hear she was "retiring." But it is a well deserved rest. Although, she still remains busy in ministry. I feel that an era has passed. I am so happy to know that someone is picking up where Jerald & Sandra have left off & even expanding to do what you are doing! I'm excited to see what the Lord is going to do with the ministry there. He was right in his remarks when he stated that today's ministry among LDS is different. Great strides have been made, but there is so much left to do. I left Mormonism in 1985 after being a convert for several years. I knew the LDS Church was abandoning their pagents. But I thought it was for other reasons. When he mentioned the evangelism going on from Christians, I hadn't thought of that being a cause for it. My prayers & support are with you. Thank you for your love, service & sacrifice for the Lord & the Mormon people.

  I truly love this lady & her husband! I came out of Mormonism in 1985. I remember, in the early '80s, whole on my mission, coming across a copy of "Mormonism Shadow or Reality?" Just seeing some of the pictures in it scared me to death! I wanted nothing to do with it or them. In later years, it was their work, along with a few others that helped me greatly. Even though couldn't agree with all they proposed. (And I still don't.) However, much of what they present must be dealt with.They never seemed to teter on the absurd or sensationalist fringe, but for the most part, seemed to take a more balanced approach. I spoke with Sandra several months before her announcement to retire & expressed my gratitude to her for their years of faithful service. I'm glad I did! An era has truly passed!

  @dubbelkastrull The Catholic view of divine simplicity relies too much on philosophical ideas from ancient Greek philosophy, particularly from thinkers like Aristotle. In Catholic doctrine, God's attributes (such as His love, justice, and power) are seen as identical to His essence and to each other. This means God's love is the same as His justice, and His justice is the same as His power. I would argue that this makes it difficult to distinguish between God's different attributes and can lead to confusion about God's nature. For example, it becomes hard to understand how God's love and justice can be expressed in different ways. If God is completely simple and unchanging in the way the Catholic doctrine suggests, it raises questions about how God can interact with a changing world. This view makes it difficult to explain how God can be involved in history, respond to prayers, or have a dynamic relationship with people. I believe that the Catholic doctrine of divine simplicity is not fully supported by the Bible. The Bible presents God in more relational and interactive terms, which seems at odds with the idea of God being absolutely simple and unchanging in the philosophical sense. From the Orthodox perspective, while God is certainly one and without parts, He is also understood to have different energies (or activities) that allow Him to interact with the world. These energies are distinct from His essence but still fully divine. This view maintains a balance between God's transcendence (being above and beyond creation) and His immanence (being present and active within creation). Look into essence-energies distinctions.

  @@occultislux "In Catholic doctrine, God's attributes (such as His love, justice, and power) are seen as identical to His essence and to each other." That's far more than just the Catholic doctrine, plenty of protestants subscribe to that too. You can even find that line of thinking in Isaac of Nineveh. Plus there's the fact that 1 John 4:8 sayd God is love. "For example, it becomes hard to understand how God's love and justice can be expressed in different ways." Thomists talk about it in an analogous sense because anytime we talk about the divine attributes it's ever going to be the same as when we talk about justice in a human sense. There's also the Scotist version as well where God is infinite in each attribute which ultimately causes them all to become equal because different infinities end up becoming the same so divine simplicity isn't violated. "If God is completely simple and unchanging in the way the Catholic doctrine suggests, it raises questions about how God can interact with a changing world." Malachi 3:6 "For I the Lord do not change." "Look into essence-energies distinctions." I have and I don't buy it. I'm not saying there isn't maybe some merit but the way it's discussed today seems like some recent Neo-Palamite fixation and hardly shows up (if at all) in Orthodox thinkers like Bulgakov and my favorite Orthodox thinker alive today John Behr.

  Babies are "Carnal, Sensual, and Devilish"? Maybe I misunderstood this guy but that is not a christian teaching. There are some hyper-calvinist that teach that heresy (including that God is the author of evil) but I hope that is not what he said. Most christians do not hold to that false doctrine (that even "un-elect" babies , aborted babies etc go straight to hell).
