I only watched the first one but I can already tell that I would have crushed him in debate for a variety of reasons including...

1) He claims to believe the Bible, he doesn't really unless he's LDS.

2) He doesn't know our doctrine.

3) I am too unconventional an apologist for him to handle. His favorite chestnuts are useless.

Walter Martin didn't dare let me have a word in edgewise after a couple of embarrassments........(may God rest his soul).

Better yet, invite him here with those same theories and I'll deconstruct him for your reading pleasure.

Obviously I totally disagree with McCraney about God, Jesus, and the Bible, but I have to admit he wiped the floor with the Mormon guy. He was right on when he told that caller that he was the epitome of the Mormon guy. All that guy could do was flail around and say he knew the church was true. And McCraney nailed him to the wall on that one, asking what the difference was between what he'd just said and what the JWs and others say. The caller said the difference is that the LDS church is true, and those others are being mislead. Why isn't he being mislead? Because the LDS church is true, and it's leaders wouldn't lie. ROFL.
Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen

But B&L, you think the EV is all wet to now dontchya. Do you buy into this fellows view of the Bible?

I gotta admit though, the LDS testimony is subjective. How one can really say my feelings and spiritual witness Trump's anothers because our church is true and their is not is beyond me. Even in my more conservative LDS days I always wondered about this one. An LDS would be better served to say they have studied it out, prayed about it and received a spiritual confirmation that they are happy with. Other is other faiths may get to that same point. With this EV fellow the better tact is how does he know the Bible is true and what he thinks it really is? How did he come to that conclusion. How does he really now that Jesus is the Christ. His faith is as subjective as anyone's. All religous faith is subjective.

Wow BC. I think you have an inflated opinion of yourself as an apologist. Based on your song and dance show about Adam and evolution, your atttempts to define LDS doctrine-which differs from almost every apologist I have even associated with, and your denial that Adam God was taught or perhaps your buy in to the silly two Adam theory, I think you are a a light weight apologist.

by the way

is this the Born Again Mormon guy?
