S04E07: Mormonism (Part 4) Sin, Redemption, and Self-Exaltation

About this episode

The episode contrasts the LDS view of sin and redemption with biblical Christianity, focusing on themes of self-exaltation and grace.

This conversation explores the LDS view of the Fall, sin, atonement, grace, works, assurance, and eternal progression. Mormonism often uses Christian language, but the meanings behind those words are radically different from historic biblical Christianity. Jack and Grayson compare Mormonism’s teaching on Adam and Eve, original sin, ordinances, temple rites, baptism for the dead, and exaltation with the biblical gospel of salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. At the heart of the episode is a major contrast: Mormonism points man toward self-exaltation, while biblical Christianity points sinners to the finished work of Jesus Christ. Topics include: The Mormon view of the Fall Original sin and human guilt in Adam LDS theology of atonement and Gethsemane Grace, works, and assurance Baptism for the dead Eternal progression and exaltation Why Christ’s finished work is the only true hope Connect Website & Blog: www.chorusinthechaos.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chorusinthec...
