I had no idea LDS members would balk at this very basic, central belief about hell, heaven, and who goes where.
Yes, all Christians believe in hell and that we deserve to go there. That’s the bad news. The good news is, through Christ, we can be saved from hell and instead spend eternity with him. This is not accomplished through ordinances, church membership, or claims of apostolic succession, but through Jesus’s sacrifice alone. The good news is that there is nothing you can or must do to earn your way into God’s Presence. Rather, Jesus’s blood is sufficient in making us clean and acceptable before God.
You are free to believe that access to eternity with Jesus can only be accomplished through following LDS ordinances, and that non-LDS members will only have a degree of glory (but not God’s presence) in the afterlife. It’s just not a Christian belief.
For a believer in Christ, there is nothing good about the news that we non-Mormons will live forever in a “better place” but without the presence of Jesus. That is not heaven. Jesus is the prize! And our place with Him is secured by grace through faith in Him. Hallelujah!

.@redeemed_zoomer describes the reaction he received when he began to respectfully defend his Protestant beliefs against RCC and EO.
“There was a severe hostility and nastiness from those communities the second I began to criticize them slightly, which reminded me a lot of the leftist I encountered in high school.”
Yup, unfortunate reality. This is the exact same thing that I’ve been saying for a long time too. Same exact experience.

Incredible perspective. The Freedom of a soul in Christ Jesus is beyond measure. Well written.

@JoshuaBarzon As a confessional and creedal Baptist, I hold that the CCs are excellent guardrails, but they hold secondary authority to scripture as primary authority.

Great balance of showing compassion while sharing truth as Wes Huff responds to the question of why a good God would allow evil:
"Well, that is arguably the hardest and most pressing apologetic question there is, because ultimately, the very tidy philosophical and theological answer isn't the right answer sometimes. You know, sometimes the right answer to the wrong question is the wrong answer, because I've encountered situations where someone has brought up a variation of the problem of evil to me, and I've just felt uneasy about maybe the tenor that they're coming at with the question...and asking them, 'You know, that's a great question. Why are you asking that question in particular?' and finding out once again (like the previous question related to it), they're personally hurting.
And so, in that sense, I could give a tidy answer about if you're positing that something is good, you're positing that there's an objective good and evil, and if there's an objective good and evil, then you're positing an objective law, and objective law needs an objective lawgiver. So where do we find the groundwork for an objective lawgiver to begin with? Otherwise, you may not like certain things, but to say they ought not to happen is actually an ethical leap to an objective reality that you may or may not have groundwork for.
But if that person is struggling because a family member of theirs has cancer, then that particular, maybe tidy, tied-up-in-a-nice-bow answer is not going to speak to them whatsoever. And so that's why that's the hardest question because there are actually very good answers to it, but often it doesn't speak to the person in front of you, because questions have questioners that sit behind them.
And one of the pitfalls of my chosen field of ministry apologetics is that sometimes we give answers where we talk at people rather than with people. And there's a danger to that because the Christian faith isn't just an intellectual assent, right? It's a personal relationship. And that should also be played out in the answers that we give..."

Question for particular (reformed 😉) Baptists.
I’m looking for a one volume systematic theology,
Preferably that is in substantial agreement with the 2LB.
I use a bunch of presby/reformed systematics, but would really like to recommend something for church members.

@DirkWalstead John Dagg's Manual of Theology is a very warm, Baptist ST. JI Packer's God's Words is more modern and very readable. I like them both. Jim Renihan's Commentary on the 1689 is unsurpassed and can be used to study any chapter of the confession at any point.

@HonestYPTweets Seems like both the Ligonier and GCU studies point to the inability of most Evangelicals to answer these questions.

I strongly disagree with Wright here, but this conversation brings up a larger point that needs dealt with.
Are believers equipped with the biblical/historical knowledge to address this in a biblical & anthropological way?
Or, will it cause people to walk away from the faith?

"There were what we might call hominids- human like creatures- we might even call them proto-humans" Apologist N.T. Wright explains that if Adam and Eve literally existed, they were likely were 'human-like' primates that lived 200,000-5 million years ago.

An admission to abducting and killing a 7-year old should be legally sufficient for immediate death. Every moment he continues to breathe is a delay of justice.

🚨HORRIFYING🚨 Jurors will listen to the audio of 7-year-old Athena Strand being strangled to death by FedEx driver Tanner Horner. Horner pleaded guilty to capital murder, but a juror will decide if he should be sentenced to death. Strand told the child, “Don't scream or I'll hurt you,” as he picked her up and put her in his truck. The child tried to fight Strand off during the attack—his DNA was found under her nails. Prosecutors added that his DNA was found, “in places where you shouldn't find DNA on a 7-year-old girl.” The girl’s mother is for the death penalty being implemented.

Exactly. Civilized nations do not reward homicidal maniacs with life long food, board, and healthcare.

At this point it’s willful ignorance on Jenkins part. There is no lack of evidence that Mormons teach a different gospel.
He’s been told this may times and keeps ignoring the warnings.

@MattWalshBlog The taxpayers should not be punished for his crime through paying for his housing, food, counsel once convicted. Expedite his death.

It would be a moral atrocity to not execute this monster. Convicting him in a court of law and then promptly killing him is not only the most practically sensible way to handle it, but also the most moral and most Christian. It's what God wants us to do. He told us so.

NEW: FedEx driver who is accused of abducting and strangling a seven-year-old girl, puts his face in his hand as a photo is displayed of him driving her to her death. 7-year-old Athena Strand was seen standing behind Tanner Horner in his FedEx truck. Athena was allegedly snatched by Horner when he was delivering a Barbie doll to her home in Paradise, Texas. Horner initially claimed that he accidentally hit the girl with the truck before "panicking" and pulling her into the vehicle. He said he then strangled her in the vehicle and dumped the body 7 miles from the home. The photo, however, shows that Athena was alert in the truck and did not appear to have been struck by the truck. Wise County District Attorney James Stainton says the jury will see footage on the day of the killing, depicting the moment Athena was strangled to death. "Somebody covered up the camera because they don't want you to see. Guess what? Audio is still running, and you're going to hear it. You're going to hear what a 250-pound man can do to a 67-pound child," he said. "And when I say it's horrible, I mean it. I've been doing this for 25 years, and I promise you, buckle up." Horner qualifies for the death penalty.

@ScottRoberts Yet they spend MMs to try and blur the lines. The line between Christians and LDS is straight and wide, a true chasm. Christ is Lord!
English
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches a very different Gospel than the Bible.
Just a few examples:
1. God was once a man, and we can become gods (Lorenzo Snow, "As man now is, God once was"; Doctrine and Covenants 132)
2. Jesus is a created being, not eternally God (Doctrine and Covenants 93:21–22; Gospel Principles, ch. 3)
3. Scripture includes the Book of Mormon and others (Articles of Faith 1:8; introduction to the Book of Mormon)
4. Salvation involves works and temple ordinances (2 Nephi 25:23; Doctrine and Covenants 131-132)
5. God the Father has a physical body (Doctrine and Covenants 130:22)
This is not the Gospel once for all delivered to the saints (Jude 3).

Don’t ever again question why a loving God permits a Hell or falsely claim the death penalty is not Biblical.
