Joseph Smith’s King Follett Discourse vs. The Bible | What Did Joseph Smith Teach About God?

What did Joseph Smith actually teach about God, man, creation, and salvation? In this episode of G220 Radio, we take Joseph Smith’s King Follett Discourse and compare his own words directly with the Holy Scriptures.

Joseph Smith claimed he was going to explain the character of God and even said he would prove his teachings from the Bible. But when we examine his statements alongside Scripture, do they actually agree?

In this episode, we examine some of the most significant claims from the King Follett Discourse, including:

• Joseph Smith’s claim that God is “a man like one of you”
• His teaching that God “came to be God”
• His statement that “you have got to learn how to be Gods yourselves”
• His teaching that creation means “to organize” rather than create from nothing
• His claim that the mind of man is as immortal as God himself
• His teaching that man's first principles are self-existent with God
• His teaching concerning salvation of the dead and postmortem opportunity
• His statement that “knowledge saves a man”

This isn't about misrepresenting Mormon beliefs or attacking individuals. The question is simple:

Does Joseph Smith’s King Follett Discourse agree with the Bible?

Is Mormonism simply another Christian denomination, or does it teach a different gospel?

In this episode, we examine the core doctrines of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) in light of Scripture. We'll compare what Mormonism teaches about God, Jesus Christ, salvation, authority, and eternal life with the truth revealed in the Bible.

Topics include:
The authority of Scripture vs. additional revelation
Who God is according to the Bible
The biblical identity of Jesus Christ
Salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone
The Book of Mormon and other LDS scriptures
Temple ordinances, baptism for the dead, and exaltation
Practical tips for sharing the gospel with LDS missionaries and friends

Our goal is not to attack individuals but to lovingly test every teaching by God's Word (1 John 4:1) and contend for the faith once for all delivered to the saints (Jude 3).

Key Scriptures: Galatians 1:6–9, John 1:1–3, Isaiah 43:10, Ephesians 2:8–9, Romans 3:28, Titus 3:5–7, Hebrews 1:1–2.

How should Christians respond to the teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses? In this episode, we compare the core doctrines of the Watchtower Society with the truth of God's Word.

We'll examine what Jehovah's Witnesses teach about the Trinity, the deity of Christ, Michael the Archangel, the bodily resurrection of Jesus, salvation by grace, and the belief that only 144,000 go to heaven. Most importantly, we'll ask: Do Jehovah's Witnesses proclaim the biblical Jesus?

Our goal is not to mock Jehovah's Witnesses but to lovingly defend the gospel and equip Christians to share the truth with compassion and confidence. We'll also offer practical evangelism tips for engaging Jehovah's Witnesses using Scripture.

Key Scriptures: Galatians 1:8–9, 2 John 7–11, John 1:1, John 20:28, Hebrews 1:3–8, Luke 24:39, Ephesians 2:8–9, Acts 4:12, Revelation 7, and John 8:24.

Join us as we test every teaching by God's Word and proclaim the true gospel of Jesus Christ. If this episode encourages you, be sure to like, subscribe, and share to help equip others to contend for the faith with both truth and love. Soli Deo Gloria.

What is the true gospel, and how can we recognize a false one?

In Galatians 1:6–9, Paul warns against those who preach "a different gospel." Though many messages claim to be Christian, any teaching that adds to, subtracts from, or distorts the finished work of Christ is no gospel at all.

In this episode, Ricky and Mike examine modern teachings that fall under Paul's warning, including:

Salvation by faith plus works
The Prosperity Gospel
Legalism
Universalism
False views of Christ
Works-based religious systems
The "people are basically good" message
Antinomian or "Free Grace" distortions

We'll answer the crucial question: What must a person do to be justified before God?

The Bible teaches that sinners are saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:1–4). His finished work is completely sufficient for salvation.

Join us as we compare today's popular teachings with God's Word and learn how to identify the true gospel from "another gospel."

Key Scriptures: Galatians 1:6–9, Galatians 2:16, Romans 3:28, Ephesians 2:8–10, James 2:14–26, Titus 2:11–14, 1 Corinthians 15:1–4.

G220 Radio streams live every Tuesday at 9:00 PM EST, discussing theology, apologetics, evangelism, and biblical truth from a Reformed Baptist perspective.

What do words like grace, faith, justification, sanctification, redemption, and atonement actually mean? Christians use these terms regularly, but many believers struggle to define them biblically, and many false teachers distort their meanings altogether.

In this episode of G220 Radio, we take a deep dive into some of the most important words in the Christian faith. We'll explore key biblical terms, examine their scriptural foundations, and discuss why proper definitions matter for sound doctrine and spiritual growth.

We'll cover:

What the Gospel truly is according to Scripture
The difference between grace, mercy, and faith
Justification, sanctification, and glorification explained
The biblical meaning of sin, repentance, and redemption
Understanding propitiation, atonement, and imputation
God's sovereignty, the doctrine of the Trinity, and the resurrection

Along the way, we'll discuss how cults, progressive theology, and prosperity teaching often redefine biblical language, leading many away from the truth of God's Word.

If you've ever been confused by theological terminology or want a stronger foundation in Christian doctrine, this episode will help you better understand the language of Scripture and equip you to handle God's Word accurately.

Key Scriptures: 2 Timothy 2:15, 1 Corinthians 15:1–4, Ephesians 2:8–9, Romans 5:1, Romans 8:30, Acts 17:30, Romans 3:25, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Daniel 4:35, Matthew 28:19, Colossians 1:9–10, and more.

In this episode of G220 Radio, we dive deep into the three major approaches to Christian apologetics — Classical Apologetics, Evidential Apologetics, and Presuppositional Apologetics — and examine how Christians are called to defend the faith in a biblical and God-glorifying way.

What is apologetics? What does the Greek word “apologia” mean? Should Christians argue from logic, evidence, or worldview? In this discussion, we break down the strengths and weaknesses of each apologetic method while comparing how they use Scripture, philosophy, historical evidence, and biblical revelation in defending Christianity.

Ultimately, apologetics does not save anyone — the Holy Spirit saves through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. But Christians are called to be ready always to give an answer for the hope that is within them.

In this episode of G220 Radio, we review a real conversation with a Jehovah’s Witness and examine the major issues discussed through the lens of Scripture.

Can all religions be true if they contradict one another? Who is the real Jesus? Is hell real? What does it mean to be born again?

We break down the law of non-contradiction, the deity of Christ, eternal judgment, and the biblical doctrine of regeneration while responding to key Jehovah’s Witness beliefs with Scripture.

📖 Key passages include John 1, John 3, Colossians 1, Hebrews 1, Ezekiel 36, and Revelation 20–21.

“If we have the wrong Jesus, we have the wrong gospel.”

In Part 2 of this powerful G220 Radio series, we continue our deep dive into Islam vs Christianity by focusing on the most critical issues: Jesus Christ, salvation, and eternity. What does Islam truly teach about Jesus? Why does it deny the crucifixion—and what are the eternal consequences of that belief?

This episode exposes the core differences between a works-based system and the Gospel of grace. We examine the Islamic view of sin, the Five Pillars, and the uncertainty of salvation, and contrast it with the biblical truth that salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone.

If Part 1 laid the foundation, Part 2 brings the clarity—calling listeners to examine truth, understand the Gospel, and be equipped to share it boldly.
