Who is God?
What is the Gospel?
When it comes to competing religious claims, how do we know what’s true?
Have you ever talked about faith with a Mormon? Maybe you have a Mormon friend at school who claims they are also Christian? Or a family member who goes to Temple and takes the Mormon sacrament?
It can leave you wondering: What do Mormon's believe? Are they Christians? Is the Bible really God's Final Word? In this 6-lesson video course, you will investigate the foundation of Christianity's central claims and contrast them with the false teachings of Mormonism.
In this online course you will examine...
- Why Mormonism and Christianity are not the same
- Why the God of Christianity and the god of Mormonism are not the same
- Why the Gospel of Mormonism is ultimately unattainable
- Why the truth claims of Mormonism relies on personal feelings to validate it
- Why the Bible meets the criteria for reliability and the Book of Mormon falls short
- How to share the Gospel effectively in real life with your Mormon friends and family
One of the most effective ways to build your faith is to test its truth claims in comparison to the truth claims of other religions. And that's exactly what this course is designed to do. In fact, this is the same video course MAVEN uses to train students and leaders as they prepare to embark on our week-long Biblical Immersive Experience. In this course, you will receive practical, in-depth training that's easy to integrate in your real world conversations.
You will leave this course with a deep understanding of how Mormonism radically differs from biblical Christianity and come away trained to share the true gospel with your Mormon friends and family.
