In a repeat broadcast, MRM's Bill McKeever and Eric Johnson interview Dr. Rob Bowman, who leads a ministry called IRR.org. The topic this week is about the Trinity.
In Latter-day Saint scriptures, Doctrine & Covenants section 82, verse 7 states"And now, verily I say unto you, I, the Lord, will not lay any sin to your charge; go your ways and sin no more; but unto that soul who sinneth shall the former sins return, saith the Lord your God." This is not only a tremendous burden for Latter-day Saints, but it is wholly antithetical to the biblical promise that God will not remember our sins. “FOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL TO THEIR INIQUITIES, AND I WILL REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE" (Hebrews 8:12).This week on the Profile we continue our conversation with Eric Johnson of MRM.org about S.W. Kimball's The Miracle of Forgiveness. From MRM.ORGEric Johnson has been a student of Mormonism since 1987 when he served a summer mission outreach in Utah. Eric graduated from San Diego State University (1985, BA in Journalism) as well as at Bethel Seminary San Diego (1991, Master's of Divinity). Eric cohosts the daily radio program Viewpoint on Mormonism and writes for MRM's Mormonism Researched newsletter. His new book is Introducing Christianity to Mormons (Harvest House, 2022). He is also the co-author of Answering Mormons' Questions: Ready Responses for Inquiring Latter-day Saints (Kregel, 2013), Mormonism 101: Examining the Religion of the Latter-day Saints (Baker Book, 2015), Mormonism 101 for Teens(MRM, 2016) as well as serving as a co-editor of Sharing the Good News with Mormons (Harvest House, 2018).

Why are Latter-day Saints so eager to build temples, and are "temple works" really a New Testament practice? In these Viewpoint shows, MRM's Eric Johnson and Bill McKeever explore the doctrine behind LDS temples. Mormonism's practice of temple building has no basis in either the New Testament or early Christian history, making LDS temple worship a uniquely Mormon doctrine.

What might you say to a Latter-day Saint who asks you to define how you understand the concept of forgiveness? It is important to know that most Latter-day Saints understanding of forgiveness differs significantly from the traditional biblical doctrine of forgiveness. This week and next on the Profile we will be talking with Eric Johnson of Mormon Research Ministry in Utah about an influential 1969 LDS publication, written by former apostle and later president and prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Spencer W. Kimball called The Miracle of Forgiveness. But as Eric will share with us, Kimball's ideas of forgiveness aren't anything like what we find in the Bible. From MRM.ORGEric Johnson has been a student of Mormonism since 1987 when he served a summer mission outreach in Utah. Eric graduated from San Diego State University (1985, BA in Journalism) as well as at Bethel Seminary San Diego (1991, Master's of Divinity).

On December 16th, 2025, the LDS Church announced that six Protestant translations of the Bible can and should be read by Latter-day Saints. What are those six translations? And why did the church make this surprise announcement? MRM's Bill McKeever and Eric Johnson discuss this in their conversation this week.

Andrea Muñoz Spannaus gave a conference talk in October 2025 about the importance of following the leaders of the LDS Church. For many, the leaders are just giving their opinion, but not according to Spannaus, who says complete devotion must be given to them. MRM's Bill McKeever and Eric Johnson take a closer look at the talk and discuss why Mormonism's doctrines should still be obtained by the teachings of the LDS scripture and leaders, not from members' personal opinions.
