Sonship benefit #1: Being an heir — equal inheritance in the kingdom

Ephesians 6:5-9 to masters: threats and divine judgment, not divine institution

Matthew 6:10 ('on earth as it is in heaven') is the central practical scripture of Bethel's theology — they interpret it as God manifesting heaven's conditions on earth right now

Mike identifies and challenges Bethel's key proof text for their present-kingdom expectations

Matthew 6:10 Bill Johnson Matthew 6:10 kingdom of God
Mike Winger idea 2018-02-14

Bethel's standard for 'heaven on earth' is too low: they aim for physical healing while Revelation 21:4 promises no death, sorrow, or pain — which has not yet come

Mike argues that Bethel's version of heaven-on-earth falls short even of its own claim

Mormon definition of God: 'Heavenly Father,' a being who was once a man, died, was resurrected, and progressively became God — and has a wife.

The Mormon conception of God is radically different from the Christian one, beginning with the claim that God was once a human being.

Mormon theology Heavenly Father God was once a man

King Follett Sermon quote: 'God himself was once as we are now and is an exalted man' — Joseph Smith teaches that God's pre-divine humanity is the 'great secret.'

Direct quotation from the King Follett Sermon establishing the Mormon doctrine that God was once a mortal man.

Joseph Smith God was once a man King Follett Sermon
Mike Winger idea 2018-01-24

Mormon definition of Jesus: born in the pre-existence as a spirit child of Heavenly Father and his wife, one of many spirit children — and Satan's brother.

The Mormon Jesus was not eternally pre-existent as God but was the first spirit-born child of the physical Heavenly Father and Mother.

Mormon Christology pre-existence spirit children
Mike Winger idea 2018-01-24

Book of Abraham (Pearl of Great Price), chapter 4: creation is described as 'the gods' organizing matter — explicitly polytheistic and not ex nihilo.

Mike reads from official Mormon scripture to demonstrate the polytheistic view of creation embedded in LDS canonical texts.

Joseph Smith Book of Abraham Pearl of Great Price
Mike Winger idea 2018-01-24

Christian view of heaven: dwelling in God's presence. Mormon view: one of three tiered kingdoms — telestial, terrestrial, celestial.

Sixth vocabulary comparison: 'going to heaven.' The Mormon afterlife is a complex tiered system rather than a simple presence with God.

Mormon afterlife three degrees of glory telestial kingdom
Mike Winger idea 2018-01-24

Christian view of salvation by grace: entirely unearned, covering forgiveness, reception into heaven, and future glorification — all purely by grace.

Seventh vocabulary comparison: 'saved by grace.' Mike articulates the Christian doctrine of grace as entirely free, unearned, and unkeepable by human effort.

salvation by grace sola gratia Christian soteriology

Definition of purgatory: a place or state after death where souls are cleansed and pay for sin before entering heaven

Jimmy Akin's (Catholic Answers) soft interpretation of 2 Maccabees: the passage presupposes that prayer can help the dead on their journey to heaven

Q&A: Do we 'soul sleep' or go directly to heaven at death?

Viewer question on the state of the dead, related to purgatory discussion

Q&A — Revelation 21:27 and the need for purification before heaven: answered by 1 Corinthians 15

Viewer challenge: doesn't Revelation 21:27 ('nothing impure can enter the New Jerusalem') support the need for purgatory?
