Weekly webcast of Shawn McCready Heart of the Matter ministry to mormons
http://www.hotm.tv/streaming.htm
Ping to weekly hotm.
this week’s topic - Cain, the biblical presentation and the altered version provided by Joseph Smith.
God gave Cain the ‘mark’ as an act of grace - so that none would kill him to take vengeance
mormonism took this story with the enhanced JST are foundational towards mormon racism. The take the mark and instead of recognizing it as part of God’s grace and use it to put down blacks.
Nick - great testimony of God’s love and work in his life.
Indeed!
Seem just like God for a caller to call in like Nick when it has been a rough week for Shawn.
Yes indeed, God has a way of sending the most simple yet profound blessings. His timing is impeccable!
Taking a break. So, it was a good show?
It was pretty straight forward. Probably the best part was the contrast between the Biblical reasoning for the mark and lds (via the JST and prophets). Perhaps it is an echo of some racism in some branches of Christianity to assume the ‘mark’ on cain was skin color - but the text doesn’t support a conclusion of that kind, but that the mark was a sign of compassion by God towards cain.
Also had a good testimony from Nick on how he stumbled upon HOTM via youtube and how it helped change his life.
