Why Mormonism Is a Cult

In this episode, I’m going to show you why Mormonism is a cult, and why Mormons aren’t Christians. We’ll be looking at how this religion was started, and how Latter-day Saint theology is inconsistent with Biblical Christianity. Hey! I’m David Cipriano, and my goal is to teach you the Bible and to help you follow Jesus.
