MORMONISM II.

Mormon Claims Answered
by Marvin W. Cowan

The title of the textbook, Mormon Claims Answered, sums up its message and its purpose. Since its inception, Mormonism has claimed that all other churches are universally apostate (heretical) and that the LDS church alone is the "only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth" (D. & C. 1:30). The purpose of this book is not to attack, ridicule or persecute Mormons, but rather to show that LDS claims against historic Christianity are flawed. The LDS claim that they alone have the keys to salvation would mean that the LDS Church is a necessary "mediator" between God and men and that conflicts with I Tim. 2:5 which declares that Jesus Christ is the only mediator!
