Hello, and welcome to the Thinkiefellows podcast. My name is Caleb Keith, and today I am joined by

Adam Francisco, Scott Keith, and Bruce Hillman to talk about the Church of the Latter-day Saints or Mormonism

or, I don't know, they have preferred titles. Is it they don't like being called Mormon?

And they want to be referred as the Latter-day Saints.

platforms in Christianity in particular. And the Latter-day Saints kept coming up as trending topic,

this because the search tools don't tell you why people are searching things, but it became

apparent to me that at least within the broader context of search engines, AI, and people's

sort of minds, the Latter-day saints have snuck into the category of Christianity.

There's obviously, if you're an Orthodox Christian, if you study theology at all, you know that

there's some big problems with calling Mormons Christian, but they're insistent that they are,

and obviously that narrative is working to some degree. And so I thought we would do an episode titled, What Mormonism Get Wrong,

and just talk about specifically, if we can, the places where it is in complete contradiction

with Christianity, such that the title, Christianity is

inaccurate for it, or the description Christianity is inaccurate for it. So not just that it's

another denomination that's out there, but truly what would make it so that the Church of

the Latter-day Saints is not a Christian church.

Yeah, so that's, I gave everybody, everybody had several weeks to, to re-investigate this issue,
