Topics include the Great Apostasy, the nature of God, premortal existence, exaltation and becoming gods, salvation by grace, temple ordinances, and baptism for the dead.Whether you agree or disagree with MRM's conclusions, these questions highlight some of the most significant theological differences between The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and traditional Evangelical Christianity.Article discussed in this video:[https://mrm.org/7-questions](https://mrm.org/7-questions)Topics covered:• The Great Apostasy and Restoration• Does God the Father have a physical body?• Are all people literally spirit children of God?• Can humans become gods?• Grace vs. works in salvation• Temple ordinances and exaltation• Baptism for the deadWhat do you think—are these differences fundamental, or can Mormonism still be considered a Christian faith tradition?Please consider making a donation by joining our Patreon https://www.patreon.com/MormonNewsRoundup Email: kolob@mormonnewsroundup.org Website: https://mormonnewsroundup.org/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mormonnewsroundup Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mormon_news_roundup/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093511869924 X: https://twitter.com/NewsMormon New episodes LIVE every Sunday and Monday nights at 9:30PM ESTPlease like and subscribe and hit the notifications bell.
