Beskrivelse

Heretic is a fictional horror film featuring two sister missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, sometimes known as the Mormon Church or the LDS Church. They fight to survive a deadly game of cat and mouse as the villain Mr. Reed (played by Hugh Grant) traps them in his house and strings them along a horrific path of religious deconstruction. Today I’m going to fact-check nearly every religious thing in this film, since the movie spends considerable time treating the doctrine, practices, and history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We’re going to evaluate its discussion of polygamy, magic underwear, birth control, reincarnation, and a lot more. At the end, I’ll give my take and overall review on how well I think the film Heretic did representing my own faith. CONTENT NOTE: Scripture Central illuminates and defends divine truth.

episode The Environment of the Last Supper cover

The Environment of the Last Supper

Leonardo da Vinci’s painting of the Last Supper has riveted the minds of the world for centuries. Yet this depiction of the Last Supper, like many others, is quite inaccurate when it comes to the actual setting of the Last Supper. Because of these depictions, we often picture Christ seated at the center of a long table, with his disciples on each side of him. However, according to ancient Roman and Jewish culture, and several verses found in the gospels, we find a much different setting. With this more accurate setting, we are able to learn of a powerful message of Jesus’ true love.
