Faith without religion.
Faith and Authenticity in Mormonism’s Sacred Text
In the heart of Mormonism, Shawn McCraney hosts “Heart of the Matter,” a show dedicated to exploring the complexities of faith and the origins of the Book of Mormon. This week, Shawn delves into the intriguing parallels between the Book of Mormon and the King James Bible, raising questions about the authenticity of its origins. He highlights the use of King’s English in the Book of Mormon, a style not spoken by Joseph Smith or his contemporaries, suggesting a deliberate attempt to mimic the Bible’s language.
Shawn also addresses the contentious label of “anti-Mormon” often assigned to those who question LDS teachings. He argues that questioning should not equate to opposition, emphasizing his love for Mormon people and his belief in their potential standing with God through faith in Jesus.
The show invites viewers to engage in open discussions, whether at the upcoming “Heart in the Park” event or during the “Pastor in the Pub” sessions at Squatter’s Pub. Shawn encourages a deeper examination of faith, urging believers to focus on Jesus as the sole author and finisher of their faith, beyond the narratives of Joseph Smith.
