About this series:  We are studying these groups to learn what they believe so that we can better dialogue with them about Jesus Christ and His Plan for Salvation.  God loves them just like He does us and wants them to experience Eternal Life with Him.  As we said before the reason we have categorized these groups into cults and isms is because they believe extra teachings above and beyond the Bible or they overemphasize certain passages.

Historical – Mormons or the Church of Jesus Christ the Latter Day Saints.  How did they get their start?  Who were their founders?  What did they believe?  What do they believe now?  What are their views on polygamy?  What do they believe about Baptism by proxy?  What are the different branches of this church?  Also this is only a two-parter because Brother Tommy had two guest speakers on this subject.

Historical – Remember the definition we use to categorize these groups into a cult or ism is that they overemphasize certain parts of the Bible and/or use extra texts  to achieve what they believe.  What is the Watch Tower?  Don’t they believe the whole Bible?  What do they believe about the Trinity of God?  What do they believe about Jesus Christ?  What do they believe about Man’s role in eternity?  What do they say about Hell?  What is important about the year 1914?  Part I is about the history of this group.  Parts II, III, and IV cover their theology and how to approach these people with love and the truth.  As I have said before the  lessons in this series were not meant to arm you for confrontation of these groups, but rather to allow you the tools to share the good news of Jesus Christ and the Salvation He brought us.

Catholicism part I.  Why is Catholicism included in this study of cults and isms?  How did it start?  How has it changed?  What do they officially believe?  How does it differ from what the Bible teaches?  Remember when you are listening to the statistics about this or any other group that these numbers are from 1974.  A few things have changed since then, like which group is growing the fastest, but the beliefs of these people and the need to love them and witness to them has not changed.  Listen to parts II and III for more information.  Also where Brother Tommy references a film or guest speaker in this series, I am sorry but I don’t have access and/or permission to share these with you.  But as you may have  noticed Tommy was very good at recapping prior lessons.
