8. The Doctrine of Salvation - Paul M. Williams
Bethesda Shalom
Part 8 Whenever one asks a member of a cult whether they have absolute and full assurance of salvation, ninety-nine times out of a hundred, one will be met first with a stutter followed by the answer, “I hope so!” The reason for this is that cults cannot offer their members assurance of salvation, because salvation depends on remaining a member, since there is no salvation outside that particular group. This is true of Jehovah’s Witnesses, Roman Catholics, including the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The topic of focus in this final teaching part is...

7. The Doctrine of Christ - Paul M. Williams
Bethesda Shalom
Part 7 When one is dealing with a cult, there are always two main areas where the scope of the target is aimed. Attacking either one of these is enough to designate a group a cult, but more commonly, one will find that the cults delight in destroying both. What are these two areas of repeated attack? The person of Jesus Christ and the doctrine of justification by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.

The Book of Mormon is just under one and a half times larger than the New Testament. It comprises 15 books, which the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints say were written by Nephite prophets. The LDS Church believes that whilst the Bible documents the events of God’s chosen people, Israel in the Eastern Hemisphere, the Book of Mormon documents the lives of the Israelites inhabiting the Western Hemisphere, namely the ancient Americas. Interestingly, much of what the LDS Church believes doctrinally is not actually found in the Book of Mormon but in the other writings of Joseph Smith: Doctrine and Covenants and Pearl of Great Price. Despite this, Joseph Smith said of the Book of Mormon:
“I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts than any other book.”
Joseph Smith was known for making bold statements, and the quote above is surely numbered among them. As with any claim, it ought to be able to withstand scrutiny and examination. In this teaching, the Book of Mormon will be held to the standard of modern science to see if indeed it is the most correct book on earth.
