Listen "106. Eric Johnson on The Miracle of Forgiveness"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we interview Eric Johnson of Mormonism Research Ministry about LDS President-Prophet Spencer W. Kimball’s book The Miracle of Forgiveness. Eric takes us through some of the main teachings of President Kimball, and how it still has authority for the LDS. Could this book be, in any way, considered Christian? We also discuss Eric’s “Free-Book Approach” of using Kimball's book for evangelism. Listen as we dive into what an LDS Prophet thinks about the gods, man, sin, salvation – and how he authoritatively explained (away) some of the Bible passages that disagree.
