Mormonism and Five Point Calvinism, Part 3

Love, Human Nature, and Theological Differences in Christian Life

In a recent episode of “Heart of the Matter,” host Shawn McCraney delves into the intersection of Mormonism and Biblical Christianity, focusing on the concept of love and its various applications in Christian life. McCraney emphasizes the importance of love in different contexts, from loving God and fellow believers to loving neighbors and even enemies, highlighting the biblical foundation for these teachings. The episode also touches on the challenges faced by the ministry, including their removal from a local TV station, which led to a period of personal reflection and eventual clarity on their mission. McCraney discusses the theological differences between Calvinism and Mormonism, particularly the concept of Total Depravity versus the Mormon belief in inherent divinity. He critiques both perspectives, advocating for a balanced understanding of human nature and divine calling. The episode concludes with a call to embrace biblical truth and a commitment to continue the ministry’s mission with renewed vigor and independence.
