As a result of recent comments connected with the group of Republicans campaigning for their party's nomination, the Mormon faith has been in the news. Milt Romney, former governor of Massachusetts and one of the leaders for the Republican nomination is a Mormon. Some have attacked him on those grounds, labelling Mormonism as a cult. Others have defended him, claiming that Mormonism is simply a denomination of Christianity (like the Methodists, Baptists, and Presbyterians are distinct denominations within Christianity). So, what is the reality? Is the Mormon faith a cult, squarely outside the teaching and beliefs of orthodox Christianity. Or is it at its core truly Christian?
If you want a soundly reasoned, true-to-the-Bible answer to this question, check out this article,
"Is Mormonism a Cult? What Do Mormons Believe?" And if you want to dig a little deeper, Kevin DeYoung on the Gospel Coalition blog has
a more indepth article.
Thanks for stopping by . . .
