A Mormon senator filmed a defense of his religion this week.

He spoke gently. Read the lines like a hymn.

Every sentence was a trapdoor.

He said, "We believe in God the eternal Father, in his Son Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost."

Read that sentence again.

Eternal is attached only to the Father.

In Mormon doctrine the Son and the Holy Ghost are not eternal. They had a beginning. The Father did not.

One word. Quiet. Deliberate.

He said, "There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved."

Acts 4:12 says must. Not can.

Can leaves a door open.

Must nails the door shut.

Mormons teach you are saved by grace after all you can do.

They needed can. So they used can.

A single verb. Most readers would never catch it.

The Pentagon cut the LDS church off the military's approved religions list this month.

A secular government drew a line the modern church will not draw.

That is the indictment.

Not them. Us.

We have refused to read the Book and draw the same line.

I wrote the full breakdown. Six of his sentences. Every trick. Every verse.

Open it on your phone. Read it with your Bible in your lap.
