CCP18: On Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses

In this week’s conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they explore two American-born religions, both started in the 1800s. Using similar language as Christians but under different names, they have left a lot of Christians wondering what, exactly, they are. In this episode, you’ll learn a bit about their history and some compelling evidence to help you determine whether they are Christian, cult or counterfeit.

For a deeper dive into understanding what separates Christianity from the religions of the world, you may find of interest a series delivered by Dr. White at Mecklenburg Community Church called “So What’s the Difference?”

The topic of salvation by faith vs. salvation by works was discussed throughout this episode, particularly how they both relate to grace. You may also want to explore a series called “Getting Grace Right” that really helps shed light on the importance of the true meaning of grace.

Both Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses challenge the Bible’s authority. Check out Dr. White’s blog “Does It Matter Which Bible We Use?” to understand the various translations of the Bible.

And finally, we encourage you to go back and listen to CCP15: On Denominational Decline.
