The question of whether families are forever in heaven is a central tenet of Mormon theology, but how does this idea align with the Bible? The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), commonly known as Mormonism, teaches that families are eternal, and through specific temple ordinances, marriages can be sealed for time and eternity. This concept appeals to the deep human desire for everlasting connection with loved ones, yet the Bible presents a different perspective on the nature of relationships in eternity. In this episode we explore how biblical theology addresses this question and where it diverges from Mormon doctrine.--The Unveiling Mormonism podcast pulls back the curtain on Mormon history, culture and doctrine.

Let's explore how biblical theology addresses this question and where it diverges from Mormon doctrine.Mormon Doctrine on Eternal FamiliesMormonism teaches that marriage, family, and human relationships can be eternal through sacred ordinances performed in their temples. A key scripture often cited by Mormons is found in Doctrine and Covenants 132:19, which discusses the sealing of marriages that can last "for time and all eternity." For faithful Latter-day Saints, this belief promises that family units will continue beyond this life, ensuring the continuation of their relationships forever.What Does the Bible Say?While the Bible affirms that relationships are important in this life and that marriage is a God-ordained institution, it does not teach that earthly family units, including marriages, will persist in their current form in heaven. Instead, the Bible offers a more profound view of eternal life in which all believers are united in Christ.1. Marriage Does Not Continue in HeavenOne of the clearest statements about marriage in eternity comes from Jesus Himself. In Matthew 22:23–30, the Sadducees, who denied the resurrection, asked Jesus a tricky question about a woman who had been married multiple times—whose wife would she be in the resurrection? Jesus answered in verse 30, saying, “For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.”Jesus' response shows that earthly institutions like marriage do not continue in heaven. Instead, believers will experience relationships that are transformed, not bound by earthly categories like marriage or family. Think about the implications of marriage in heaven. Polygamy would exist!? This is clearly not an option according to the Bible.2. Heavenly Relationships Are Perfected, not...

That episode got a lot of likes so we are now ready for part two. So what happens when an LDS Missionary discovers the forgotten teachings of the Restoration? Well today I have Mason Vogel on the podcast to talk about just that. We talk about Mason's ties to Mormonism, his conversion to the LDS Church, his time as a missionary for the LDS Church, his departure from his mission and the church, and where and what's he is doing today in his faith journey.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dave-kirkenbower/support

This phrase has significant theological implications, especially in the context of how different Christian traditions interpret its meaning. While various denominations, including Roman Catholicism and Mormonism, have their own views on this passage, this article will focus on a biblical perspective of the "keys to the kingdom" and offer a critique of how it is understood in Mormon doctrine.Mormon Doctrine of "Keys to the Kingdom"The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS or Mormonism) teaches that the "keys to the kingdom" refer to the authority of the priesthood, which they believe was restored through Joseph Smith. In Mormon doctrine, the "keys" of the priesthood are held by Church leaders, specifically the president of the Church, who is considered a prophet, seer, and revelator. These keys are believed to include the authority to perform necessary ordinances for salvation, such as baptism, confirmation, marriage, and other sacred rites.Mormon teaching emphasizes that the priesthood keys are necessary for entering the celestial kingdom, the highest level of heaven in LDS theology. They believe that these keys were lost after the death of the original apostles and were restored through Joseph Smith during the early 19th century. In this view, the LDS Church is the only church that has the fullness of the priesthood keys necessary for salvation.What Does the Bible Really Teach about the "Keys to the Kingdom"?Matthew 16:15-19 (NLT) 15 Then Jesus asked his disciples, “But who do you say I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” 17 Jesus replied, “You are blessed, Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn this from any human being. 18 Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock'), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it. 19 And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.”In Matthew 16:19, the "keys to the kingdom" symbolize authority, specifically spiritual authority in the context of the Church. The image of keys implies the power to open and close doors, which in this case represents the ability to grant or deny access to the kingdom of heaven. This authority is often understood to involve the power of teaching, guiding, and governing within the Church under Christ's leadership.Authority to Bind and Loose: The terms "bind" and "loose" in first-century Jewish context referred to legal and religious...

THE BLACKS AND THE PRIESTHOOD, Part 2 of Chapter 13 of The Church and The Gospel    Pages 200 to 206   The Seed of Cain Enoch was a man endowed with the power of God, for we read that he could speak the word of the Lord and “the earth trembled” or he could turn rivers of water “out of their course,” or make the “mountains fall” before him. Yet when he preached the word of the Lord, he went forth among “all the people, save it were the people of Canaan. . . .” Enoch saw that the people were “a mixture of all the seed of Adam save it was the seed of Cain, for the seed of Cain were black, and had not place among them.” Those who were less valiant in pre-existence and who thereby had certain spiritual restrictions imposed upon them during mortality are known to us as the Negroes. Such spirits are sent to earth through the lineage of Cain, the mark put upon him for his rebellion against God. . . . (Mormon Doctrine, Bruce R. McConkie, pp. 476-77)

In this conversation, Bryan, Bo, and Katie discuss LDS Article of Faith 8, which states that Mormons believe in the Bible as far as it is translated correctly, as well as the Book of Mormon. They explore the implications of this belief, including the doubt it introduces into Bible study and the emphasis on the Book of Mormon in LDS teachings. They also discuss the Gospel Topics Essays, which address controversial topics in Mormon history, and the impact of leaving the Mormon Church on individuals and families. The conversation highlights the importance of a biblical worldview and the nourishment found in preaching from the Bible. Article of Faith number nine in Mormonism states that continuing revelation is critical to their belief system, with modern-day prophets revealing God's Word today. However, this belief contradicts the Christian view that the Bible is the only complete and final authority in faith and life. Mormons hold the words of a modern prophet above God's revealed word in the Bible, which can be dangerous as it allows modern culture to influence doctrine. The foundation of faith in Christianity is God's Word, which provides a direct relationship with God and serves as the complete and final authority in life.TakeawaysMormons believe in the Bible as far as it is translated correctly, but they also believe in the Book of Mormon.The emphasis on the Book of Mormon in LDS teachings can overshadow the importance of the Bible.The Gospel Topics Essays address controversial topics in Mormon history and have caused many Mormons to question their faith.Leaving the Mormon Church can be a difficult and emotional process, as it challenges deeply held beliefs and can lead to social ostracism.A church that preaches from the Bible as the inspired, authoritative, and infallible Word of God can provide a nourishing spiritual experience.

Forty-six years ago this month, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, under then-President Spencer W. Kimball, lifted its prohibition preventing Black men from entering the all-male priesthood and Black women and men from participating in temple rites. This historic shift, the most significant since the faith stopped practicing polygamy, abruptly ended this racist ban, but it hardly ended racism within the church. After all, 126 years of theological justifications for the ban remained, including influential works such as “Mormon Doctrine” by apostle Bruce R. McConkie. Cleanup still needed — and needs — to be done. Building on President Gordon B. Hinckley's outreach efforts, current church leader Russell M. Nelson has called on members to lead out against racism and has cemented ties with the NAACP. Matthew Harris' new book, “Second-Class Saints: Black Mormons and the Struggle for Racial Equality,” explores the history of the priesthood/temple ban, from its racist roots under Brigham Young to its removal and its aftermath, with an eye especially on its effects on Black Latter-day Saints. With unprecedented access to the papers of Kimball, McConkie, Hugh B. Brown and Joseph Fielding Smith, Harris offers an insider view of the decision-making process among the church hierarchy regarding issues of race and this momentous move. Join us for this conversation.

This is part of an irregular series that covers various unique doctrines and teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that Chris writes about in his book.

Sovereign Grace Baptist Church is located in Cookeville, TN. Our desire is to honor Christ by loving the fallen world as Christ loved us.

Chris is the author of the book "Obscure Mormon Doctrine: Uncommon Beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints". This is part of an ongoing series where we discuss interesting and unusual theological beliefs taught by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

On the latest "Tuesday Tangents" of Mormon Book Reviews, Chris Jensen author of the book "Obscure Mormon Doctrine: Uncommon Beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" returns to discuss what is the main purpose of LDS Temples. Saving ordinances for the dead is a very unique practice of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. On this special episode Chris discusses the logistics of baptizing well over 100 Billion deceased human souls. Why is there a rapid increase in the building of temples? Could this mean the Return of Christ is imminent? I want to thank Chris for joining the "rotation" of interesting guests and topics we cover on Tuesdays.

To celebrate the one year anniversary of the release of the groundbreaking book "Obscure Mormon Doctrine: Uncommon Beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints", author Chris Jensen returns to Mormon Book Reviews! In this special episode Chris describes the overwhelmingly positve responses he has received since self-publishing this book. Chris also talks about the newly released audio format of the book and how easy it was to set it up in a very professional manner. We also announce that he will be a part of the "Tuesday Tangents" series where we will discuss a particular "Obscure Mormon Doctrine" for 20 to 30 minute segments.

So for those of you who have been listening for a while you will remember a few Months back I had on Ken Peterson. He wrote a book that shows Mormon Doctrine and Teachings in the Apocrypha. For those who might be new to the podcast I would recommend going back and listening to Episode #20 first. On this episode I have Ken back on and we have a conversation about one book of the Apocrypha in particular and that is the Pistis Sophia. This particular book of the Apocrypha is fascinating. In its pages we see the resurrected Savior teaching the mysteries of the Restored Gospel to his followers in a question answer format. Ken and have a conversation about the books contents that range from Temple Ordinances, to a more detailed account of the three degrees of glory, to the Generations of the Gods, to the Reckoning of time in the Celestial realms, to even the conception of the Savior. Buckle up because this episode is bound to blow your mind as we see Joseph Smith proved right over and over again from a book that is 2,000 years old as it also dives into the mysteries of the Restored Gospel. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dave-kirkenbower/support

A more scientific look into the Mormon Doctrine of interpreting Genesis.

So I have a question, If Joseph Smith really restored the Gospel we should be able to look back to ancient prophets and their teachings and we should see that those teachings line up with what Joseph Smith taught right? Well on this episode of the podcast I have a conversation with Ken Peterson. Ken is a devout lifelong member of the LDS Church. Ken has released a book titled Mormon Doctrine in the Apocrypha. In the book Ken lines out where teachings from the Apocrypha are exact matches to the teachings of the Restored Gospel as taught by Joseph Smith. We cover Ken's backstory, how he got involved in writing this book, his process in selecting material, some of the content of the book, and ultimately what Ken hopes that the book will do for Mormons. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dave-kirkenbower/support

We've discussed Mormon endtimes on numerous episodes, but this time we will also discuss some results. Mormonism breeds dangerous men; men who believe the end of the world is coming. Bruce R. McConkie loved the idea of the endtimes. He wrote about it so much that we decided to cover what Mormon Doctrine says are the signs of the endtimes. Then, because we know you just can't get enough of McCrankie, Shannon will give the 5th segment of Millennial Messiah which, surprise surprise, is all about the death and destruction that is going to happen in the second coming. Then we actually will end the episode leaving you with a feeling that the world isn't completely on fire with some really cool news about green infrastructure. So fasten your seatbelts.

On this episode I bring on Ben Shaffer and Felipe to review the book and television series Under The Banner of Heaven. Ben is a person well respected in fundamentalist circles and has been on a number of podcasts and is the go to guy for those outside of Mormon Fundamentalism who want to gain a better understanding of early Mormon Doctrine. On top of that Ben shares some very personal experiences he had with topics that parallel those found in Under The Banner Of Heaven. Not only do we breakdown Under the Banner Of Heaven but also dive into the subjects of Personal Moral Agency, Blood Atonement, and the Oath of Vengeance. https://juvenileinstructor.org/i-was-raised-flds-banner-isnt-my-story-but-it-changed-my-communitys-lives/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dave-kirkenbower/support

Did a single first pair of humans (Adam and Eve) ever exist? Join us this Friday at 4:00 pm MT for an epic discussion with Dr. Simon Southerton about Mormonism's core doctrine of Adam and Eve. We will analyze the conflicts between the undisputed fact of human evolution and the belief that all humans descended from a single couple of humans in Jackson County, Missouri. We will break down the different ways in which the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its apologists have responded to conflicting scientific evidence and the ongoing debate regarding the existence of pre-Adamites. In addition, Dr. Michael Westaway will be joining us to speak about his groundbreaking research regarding the Mungo Man, the oldest and most famous human skeleton in Australia dated at 42,000 years, which was voted in the top 10 papers of the year by Science magazine in 2016. ————— We are 100% donor funded!

One of the most influential leaders of the modern Mormon church, Bruce R. McConkie, made a name for himself with his seminal 1958 work Mormon Doctrine, an encyclopedia of Mormon doctrine and theology. It immediately made waves in the community and the rest of the leadership decided to censor McConkie and the book was pulled from the shelves. With significant edits to address leadership complaints, the book was republished in 1966 and again massively edited and published in 1979 after the priesthood ban was lifted. We explore the life of Bruce McConkie and discuss the impact of Mormon Doctrine and McConkie, as well as the reasons for censure and highlighting necessary edits to tone the book down. Yes, this is the deep-dive on Bruce McConkie and Mormon Doctrine you've been waiting for and this episode launches us into our next long-form book review of Millennial Messiah by Bruce McConkie!   Mark your calendars!

On the 38th episode of All Heart with Paul Cardall, former atheist and cold case expert Jay Warner Wallace shares his experience as a homicide detective investigating the evidence for Jesus of Nazareth outside of the Bible and inside the text of the Bible. Jim, a popular Christian who uses forensic apologetics believes there are many different versions of the victim (Jesus). He explains how he was able to use his expertise to unveil the true Jesus reported in the Bible and historians. Using a term he coined as "cold case christianity" Jim discusses how to get results long after witnesses are gone. Having a large Mormon family, Jim began investigating Mormonism as part of his journey from being an atheist to a believing Christian who would later have a christian worldview. Using his experience he discovered Mormon founder Joseph Smith was not a prophet and The Book of Mormon does not meet the forensic test of truth. All Heart host Paul, a former Mormon, also with a Christian worldview shares his personal insight into learning the differences in the doctrine of grace. Jay reveals why the doctrine of grace is important in knowing the victim that was crucified and said to come back to life. Jesus spent 40 days with disciples teaching them the doctrine they needed to know to establish the Lord's church.  GUEST: J. Warner Wallace, Homicide Detective, Christian Apologist HOST: Paul Cardall, Dove Award Winning Musician / Producer  J. WARNER WALLACE J. Warner Wallace is a Dateline featured cold-case homicide detective, popular national speaker and best-selling author. He continues to consult on cold-case investigations while serving as a Senior Fellow at the Colson Center for Christian Worldview. He is also an adjunct professor of apologetics at Talbot School of Theology (Biola University) and Southern Evangelical Seminary, and a faculty member at Summit Ministries. J. Warner became a Christ-follower at the age of thirty-five after investigating the claims of the New Testament gospels using his skill set as a detective. He eventually earned a Master's Degree in Theological Studies from Gateway Seminary. J. Warner's professional investigative work has received national recognition; his cases have been featured more than any other detective on NBC's Dateline, and his work has also appeared on CourtTV and Fox News. J. Warner's book, Cold-Case Christianity, provides readers with ten principles of cold case investigations and utilizes these principles to examine the reliability of the gospel eyewitness accounts. In God's Crime Scene, he investigates eight pieces of evidence in the universe to make the case for God's existence. WEBSITE: https://coldcasechristianity.com/ FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/j.warnerwallace INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/jwarnerwallace/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/jwarnerwallace YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVFe7xhG6rl0ruoMQCJDtnw  ABOUT PAUL CARDALL Steinway & Sons considers Paul Cardall one of today's most prolific pianists.

Evangelical Steven Pynakker interviews Chris Jensen son of former BYU athletic director Clayne Jensen and author of "Obscure Mormon Doctrine: Uncommon Beliefs of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints". Chris has studied Mormon doctrine for many years. He found he had a lot of downtime during the Covid Crisis, so he used it to write the book. As a result he created this unique study that documents some of the more obscure doctrines that the Church has taught or still does. This study is a very neutral objective reference that faithful LDS as well outsiders can use as a valuable resource.Link to purchase

President McKay was an educator before he was called to be an apostle and future church president.  Was he more open to evolution than other LDS leaders?  Ben Spackman will answer that question. https://youtu.be/i1DkqKm5pZE Ben:  When people bring up Mormon Doctrine, or Man, His Origin and Destiny, I tend to point to President McKay because President McKay on several occasions was very friendly to evolution....Then in 1965, in general conference, David O. McKay quotes him on that point. Now he doesn't read him at all, but he says, "Here's a scientist I've been reading who talks about a man's conscience." So, if you follow that thread, if you get below the tip of that iceberg, that's a very pro-evolution interpretation of Genesis. David O. McKay clearly doesn't think that Genesis in any way prohibits evolution. ... There was an article that was published in the official Church magazine by a BYU (I think) botany professor, someone who dealt with DNA and other things....This article as it was printed in the Church magazine, has a little black box at the front that says, "This article was read and approved by the editor of the magazine." If you flip back to the front, the editor is President David O. McKay. Now we have data from his son who was on one of the church committees or something. This article got taken to President McKay by his son to say, "We're going to run this. Do you want to read it first?" He read the whole thing word for word and said, "This is fantastic work. Run it. I want this box in front." The box also said, "It is not presented as a position of church doctrine." So, David O. McKay was very comfortable saying, "Here's evolution. We're going to put this in the Church magazine. We're going to respond to these questions. We're going to address Genesis. I don't want to impose it on people as some kind of official doctrine, because it's not." But, he was certainly enthusiastic about it. Check out our conversation….   Pres. McKay may have been the prophet most supportive of evolution. Check out our previous conversations with Ben! 246: Misreading Genesis 245: Does the Bible Supports a Flat Earth? 244: Did Man Evolve From Apes? 243: Did Joseph Fielding Smith Win the Evolution Battle? 242: Evolution & Bible: Irreconcilable Differences?

Dr. Matt Harris has uncovered that apostle Bruce R. McConkie wrote Official Declaration 2, which allowed for the first time in 120 years, open ordination of black church men, and allowed blacks access to the LDS Temple ordinances.  This may seem especially ironic, given the fact that McConkie had long justified the ban through the Curse of Cain and Curse of Ham in his book, Mormon Doctrine.https://youtu.be/I7n9Ku5MzaEMatt:  President Kimball knows what he is doing.  He needs to get Elder McConkie's buy-in.  When he gets Elder McConkie's buy-in that the ban needs to be lifted, I mean he feels that there is a tremendous weight off his shoulders.This isn't to take away of course any of the spiritual aspects of the temple and the revelation, and the things that the apostles will recount afterwards about it being the most magnificent spiritual experience of their life.  I think that's all very authentic and genuine, but it just speaks to President Kimball's remarkable leadership, that I order to do this, “I've got to really work with my associates and massage them and help them to understand that this is the right thing to do."  To me that is an incredible, remarkable exercise in leadership on President Kimball's part, because he doesn't want to create a schism in the Twelve like President Woodruff had under his leadership.I am sure as the church president that President Kimball could have just done something unilaterally.  But if there is no buy-in, what is the point?  Right?  If people don't realize that this is the right thing to do, that's really one of the most remarkable things is that he gets the buy-in from Elder McConkie.  Not only is there buy-in from Elder McConkie, the biggest doctrinal hardliner, but it is Elder McConkie who writes the Second Official Manifesto that will be added to the Doctrine & Covenants.  That is his language.We will also discuss a candid discussion between President Kimball and an official from the Carter Administration, who expressed displeasure with the ban. Matt:  Also, going on behind the scenes is President Kimball's meeting with a man named Jack Carlson.  He is Ph.D. in economics from Harvard.  He is a liberal Mormon democrat.  He is one of the proud three in the ‘70s!  {chuckles} He works in the Carter Administration.  He calls Jack Carlson into his office, and just has this very candid discussion.  This is in I think '76-77, somewhere in there.  He calls in Jack Carlson and his wife, just the three of them:  President Kimball and the Carlsons.  He says, “Jack, why do the Carter people hate us so much?”He said, “President, don't you get it?“No, tell me.  That's why you are here.”He said, “They hate our views on ERA, our views towards women and ERA.”  This is in the midst of the ERA movement. Of course, Utah was the holdup, arguably one of the states that kills the amendment, to be honest.  The church was against it, and that galvanized opposition.  “The other thing is, they don't like our views towards black people.”President Kimball, without missing a beat, says, “We've got to change this policy, but I can't.  I am worried.  I am worried about how the saints in the South will take this policy.”  It's the same thing McKay had to deal with, you remember?  “I am worried about my brethren in the Twelve.”  That's what he said.Matt gets into some other interesting details as well, such as Merrill Bateman's mission to Nigeria in the early 1970s.  This is an interview you don't want to miss (in addition to our previous discussion of Pres Kimball!) Did you know Elder McConkie wrote Official Declaration 2?Check out our conversation….[paypal-donation]
