1 Mormonism: Christianity in the “Mirror Universe” James Patrick Holding Tekton Apologetics http://www.tektonics.org “Skeptics Silenced… Rogues Refuted”

2 What…..me, worry? Mormonism: Is the fastest growing religion today. If it keeps up the current pace it will have 250 million members by 2050. Is a leading competitor for the hearts and minds of Christians. At one point we lost the equivalent of a small church to Mormonism every week. Positions itself as an authentic version of Christianity – if not the “original” version.

3 Doctrine #1: The Embodiment of God “Image” Language And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air…So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them (Genesis 1:26-27) 'As man is, God once was. As God is, man may become.'" -- Lorenzo Snow, 5 th Mormon president

When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him...

7 Doctrine #3: Faith vs Works Do we dig the hole because we have to…or because we want to?
