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.

+ Effortless Ideas to Make Easter as Memorable as Christmas

Modern Prophets and Apostles have emphasized the need to make Easter more of a season for Latter-day Saint families. "Easter is a Season" with Lani Hilton is Scripture Central's new offering to the growing desire among parents and teachers to anchor the Easter holiday in the life and mission of Jesus Christ. Far more than just a single day of celebration, this series serves as a diving board into a vast pool of possibilities, providing the practical advice, core doctrine, and creative inspiration needed to make the Easter season as powerful and transformational as Christmas. By blending meaningful traditions like Christ-centered music, symbolic foods, and hands-on crafts with scriptural insights, Lani Hilton offers a flexible starting point that empowers families to adapt and create their own lasting legacies of faith. This series provides the tools to turn an innate need for a more special holiday into a deep, season-long encounter with the Savior that can be the beginning of cherished family traditions. - - - - - - - - - - For a list of resources for the entire Easter season, click here: https://storage.googleapis.com/scripturecentral-prod-strapi-uploads/Resources_for_Celebrating_the_Easter_Season_4c72711603/Resources_for_Celebrating_the_Easter_Season_4c72711603.pdf Thank you for joining us at Scripture Central!
