Cults (Part 2) - Mormonism
Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In this discussion, Steve Gregg presents a case for why Mormonism should be considered a cult. He argues that Mormonism deviates significantly from Christian doctrine while claiming to be Christian, and relies on an authority above scripture for spiritual guidance. The history and authoritative sources of Mormon beliefs point to a different source of authority, and their theology directly contradicts Christianity. Gregg also highlights concerns over the integrity of Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism, and critiques the theological teachings and practices of the Mormon Church.
