Mormonism 101: Second Level Statements: The King Follett Discourse (#1)
James White, , MormonismI have been providing portions from my book, Is the Mormon My Brother?, which define, from exclusively LDS sources, the teachings of Mormonism regarding the central definitional doctrine of any theistic religion: the doctrine of God. Given the presidential aspirations of Mitt Romney, a Mormon, this topic is once again in the public eye, and sadly, the general ignorance of
Did The Early Church Believe In the LDS Doctrine of God?
James White, , MormonismModern LDS apologists like to cite passages from early patristic sources, asserting that the early fathers taught that men could become gods. Is this true?

James White, , MormonismA few days ago we noted the words of BYU professors Millet and McConkie in a chapter titled “The Bible Fraud” in a book titled Sustaining and Defending the Faith.
