The Mormon Dilemma
Directors
This religious discussion examines the beliefs and practices of Mormonism, particularly the controversial teachings around God, creation, and the afterlife that are presented in a critical film. The Mormon couple explain their views on the pre-existence, the nature of God, the purpose of temples, and the role of Joseph Smith, while the non-Mormon neighbor respectfully challenges these doctrines as being unbiblical and potentially deceptive. The transcript highlights the deep differences between Mormon theology and traditional Christian beliefs, while also showing the personal importance of these issues to the characters involved. The central point of contention is the Mormon belief that humans can become gods, which the neighbor strongly refutes as being against core Christian teachings.
