Apologetics and Evidence

Mormons Mormonism is described by many as being polytheistic , meaning that Mormons worship many gods. They are often placed in the same category as Hindus, or the ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians. The problem with this is that Mormons do not worship many gods (with the exception of the three separate beings in Tri-theism), but they only acknowledge many gods. From their perspective, this is called Henotheism . Henotheism is the belief that other gods exist, but that only one of the gods is worshiped. Only one god captures the attention of its subjects. Mormons call this god, “ Heavenly Father .” Mormons believe that when you die, if you were good enough in this life, you will ultimately reach the highest of heavens, and you would become a god of your own world. This is called the doctrine of exaltation . I encourage you to click the links within the text below to read more on this.

The word “ truly ” seemed to settle things in my mind. If one did walk away from Christianity, then it seems that they were never “truly” saved. But the problem is that we see our own family and friends through the years doing exactly this... They had a true, heart and...

"They picked up stones to stone  Him." There are several passages in the Bible that tell us that people picked up stones to throw at Jesus until He died. Why would anyone want to do such a thing? Seriously, think about this… is there anyone in your community that you feel so strongly sour about them that you would pick up stones in order to throw at him to kill him? Not only would it make a mess, but then you would have to deal with a dead body as well as questions after the fact. This was the case on several accounts for Jesus. It seems that some Jews did not really take a liking to him from the start. Let’s first look at Matthew 12:9-14: He went on from there and entered their synagogue. 10 And a man was there with a withered hand. And they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—so that they might accuse him. 11 He said to them, “Which one of you who has a sheep, if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out? ...
