Today I played portions of and responded to, one of the most amazing “soft sells” of Mormonism I have ever heard coming from a professing Latter-day Saint.  On the Issues Etc. program of November 15, 2013, the president of FAIRMormon.org, Scott Gordon, had a discussion with the host on the subject of Mormonism.  It was, to put it mildly, an

OK, not really, but here’s what happened.  I started off with some brief comments on the incredible section in 2 Corinthians 4:3-6, and then I started to respond to a Twitter conversation I had had this morning with a Muslim.  I invited him to watch on YouTube, and he did.  He started to respond, and so we had a conversation

I decided to dedicate the entire program today to reviewing the first call Michael Brown took on The Line of Fire on Tuesday.  It seemed to provide an excellent basis for actually addressing the most important elements of this controversy.  I didn’t expect to take the whole hour, but, that’s what happened!  Hopefully our listeners will find this a useful

Today on the Dividing Line we covered a wide variety of topics, including briefly looking at Al Mohler’s talk at BYU, and some recent incidents of infanticide and Western culture’s love of death and destruction.  I then played a clip from Mr. Pinto’s Tares video that illustrates the ease with which conspiracy theories can be produced (did you know Darwin published Origin
