Walter Martin? Who falsely claimed to be an ordained minister of the Southern Baptist Convention, even though his ordination was revoked in 1953? Who called himself Doctor even though he bought his degree from a diploma mill?
Oooooooooooooooooooo....now THAT is going to leave a mark! LOL
You said -- "Walter Martin? Who falsely claimed to be an ordained minister of the Southern Baptist Convention, even though his ordination was revoked in 1953? Who called himself Doctor even though he bought his degree from a diploma mill?"
His work is absolutely impeccable and it *is recognized* by Christian theologians as *the handbook* for both a concise and thorough explanation of various *cults* and how they depart from Christianity.
That work has been continued and updated by others (since Walter Martin died a number of years ago), to keep it current and it's still considered *the authoritative work* on the cults.
There is absolutely not a single Christian theologian that has any fault to pick with his work -- at all.
You're barking up the wrong tree there.
And besides that -- you could eliminate that one work and find *500 other sources* for the *cult nature* of the Mormon church and how they are absolutely not Christian and do *not* follow the historic Christian faith.
One simple statement here should make it clear to most readers. How many Christian churches have you gone to who refer to Lucifer (i.e., "Satan") as Jesus Christ's brother. It keeps getting worse and downhill from there...
We're not talking about "rumors" here -- but *teaching* of the Mormon church. And this is absolutely *against* Christian theology. Like I said, it keeps going downhill from here.
