Dr. Walter Martin's The Maze Of Mormonism

153 Words1 Page

Through my research, I found out that Mormons do believe in the virgin birth, but they believe that Jesus’ father was Adam (not the Holy Ghost), and therefore Adam is also God. In the book “The Maze of Mormonism” by Dr. Walter Martin, Brigham Young is quoted from his Journal of Discourses:
When the Virgin Mary conceived the child Jesus, the Father had begotten him in his own likeness. He was not begotten by the Holy Ghost. And who is the Father? He is the first of the human family; and when he took a tabernacle, it was begotten by his Father in heaven, after the same manner as the tabernacles of Cain, Abel, and the rest of the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve… Jesus, our elder brother, was begotten in the flesh by the same character that

  • Summary Of All Souls By Michael Macdonald

    882 Words  | 4 Pages

    Michael MacDonald’s memoir All Souls captures a time and place of unrest with such finesse that in my own memoir piece I can only hope to produce a fraction of the masterpiece that he has created. The reader, as an outsider, receives a deep as well as insightful portrait of 1970’s and 80’s Southie. MacDonald provides a balanced, and therefore seemingly contradictory account of what is was like to grow up in such a violence riddled, drug infested, and all around bleak situation. While MacDonald captures the dispiriting side of Southie, he also illustrates the way in which Southie seemed like a wonderful place to live at the time.

  • Overview: Fallen Angels By Walter Dean Myers

    906 Words  | 4 Pages

    Access to knowledge is a right that is being slowly, but surely, restricted among readers across the globe. The book I chose, Fallen Angels, by Walter Dean Myers, is one of the textual pieces that is receiving criticism for the use of “graphic and disturbing language,” as well as “derogatory” terms. Fallen Angels is a story describing the life of the Vietnam war of a young teenage kid, Richie Perry, using a collection of journal entries that were tied together with dialogue, forming a coherent story. This book shows all sides of the fight for life and livelihood through transparent and descriptive writing, leaving some readers astonished at the atrocities of war. These exact atrocities, however, argue for the book's historical relevance and

  • Comparing The Worldviews Of Mormonism And Orthodox Christianity

    2136 Words  | 9 Pages

    This idea of attaining godhood leans towards a form of polytheism, conflicting with the traditional monotheistic understanding of God's exclusive divinity. Additionally, the Mormon interpretation of the Trinity, with distinct personages for God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost, raises concerns about logical coherence, differing from mainstream Trinitarian theology. Practical challenges arise in how believers engage with God and understand their faith. Moreover, the Mormon stance on the Trinity lacks comprehensive coherence with widely accepted theological frameworks, deviating from the long-established Christian doctrine. Furthermore, historical research, archaeological evidence, and genetic studies contradict the Mormon belief in an Israelite presence in ancient America, with established records and biblical accounts providing no support for such a

    Mormons believe that we can live a perfect life. Matthew 5:48 states, “Therefore you shall be perfect, just as our Father in heaven is perfect.” Some believe Jesus didn’t really mean perfect, because that would require that we be flawless. Instead, we believe He was telling us to be mature. Section 4: Witnessing to Mormons: Mormons as we have read believe in multiple gods, if each one of us has the potential in becoming a god then we must presume that there are hundreds if not thousands of gods.

  • Summary Of Rick Reilly The Sins Of The Father

    270 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Rick Reilly’s article “the sins of the father” beginning with “What a fool I was”, Reilly shows his regret of making Joe Paterno, a well-know, honorable, winning football coach of Penn State Nittany Lions a saint without knowing what Paterno had done. The exigence is that Paterno, who brought 409 victories to his team, covers the Penn State child sex abuse scandal for his own benefit and reputation. Reilly takes a stance and tries to convince his audience, people who cares about football sports and cares about this particular scandal of Paterno, that what Paterno contributes to his team could not free him from his fault. Paterno should still be blamed for his indulgence towards Sandusky’s crime.

    Running the Maze Imagine being trapped inside of a place with no memory of how you got there and the only way to get out was through a maze.
