WARD RADIO

Cliff Knechtle and his son Stewart just got taken apart by Muslim apologists in a debate… and it’s painful to watch.When Your Own Team Says You Lost, Maybe It's Time For Some DEEP Reflection.In this episode we break down the exact moments where Cliff:Completely misstated the New Testament manuscript evidenceDoubled down on a bad claimGot trapped on Old Testament law (yes, the “cut off her hand” verse)And then completely collapsed on the TrinityThis isn’t just drama. It’s a masterclass in what not to do in religious debate. Latter-day Saints actually have huge advantages on several of these issues… if we don’t make the same unforced errors.Timestamps below so you can jump straight to the carnage.#CliffKnechtle #MuslimApologist #ChristianDebate #LatterDaySaints #WardRadioChapter Markers0:00 – Intro: Why We’re Watching Cliff Get Bodied1:10 – The Setup: Cliff & Stewart vs Muslim Apologists3:06 – Manuscript Claim Explodes (5,800 Manuscripts Disaster)6:52 – “What About P66?” – The Embarrassing Follow-Up8:54 – Muslims Destroy the Manuscript Comparison13:40 – Old Testament Law Trap (Deuteronomy 25:11-12)18:28 – Sponsor Break (Scripture Notes)21:10 – Trinity Segment Begins28:12 – “How Many Gods Died on the Cross?”34:15 – Partialism Trap & Christian Reaction37:25 – Other Christian Apologist Reacts to Cliff’s Performance39:17 – Final Takeaways: What Latter-day Saints Should LearnJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Subscribe to Cardon Ellis' Adventure Channel, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/@CardonEllisAdventuresThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio⚡Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids book visit the following linkhttps://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kids .

A 29-year-old article by evangelical scholars Carl Mosser and Paul Owen titled “Losing the Battle and Not Knowing It” warned that evangelicals were losing the intellectual and apologetic battle with Latter-day Saints — and most didn’t even realize it.In this episode, we revisit the article and discuss:How Mormon scholarship had already addressed most common evangelical criticismsThe failure of evangelical responses (including James White’s work)Why anti-Mormon arguments were often outdated, sensationalistic, or based on strawmenThe call for better evangelical scholarship that largely went unheededHow this article still rings true nearly three decades laterA fascinating look at the state of the Mormon-evangelical apologetic debate.#MormonApologetics #Evangelicals #CarlMosser #LDSChapter Markers / Timestamps00:00 - Intro: The 29-Year-Old Article Still Relevant Today02:00 - Overview of “Losing the Battle and Not Knowing It”04:45 - Evangelical Misconceptions About Mormon Scholarship07:30 - “There Are Many Legitimate Mormon Scholars”10:15 - Mormon Scholarship Has Answered Most Criticisms13:50 - Critique of James White & Other Evangelical Responses17:20 - Evangelical Publishers Still Printing Outdated Books21:10 - Why Evangelicals Are Losing the Apologetic Battle25:40 - The Need for Better Evangelical Scholarship30:15 - Hosts’ Reaction: How This Article Holds Up in 202635:55 - Final Thoughts & TakeawaysJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Subscribe to Cardon Ellis' Adventure Channel, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/@CardonEllisAdventuresThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio⚡Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids book visit the following linkhttps://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kids .

A newly discovered apocryphal text claims to record Jesus Christ visiting the Lost Ten Tribes in a hidden “City of the Blessed.” The story matches exactly what Latter-day Saints would expect from a record of the Ten Tribes — a miraculous visit from the risen Lord, teaching, feasting, and establishing His church among them.In this episode, we break down:The Acts of Saint Matthew in the City of the PriestsHow this ancient manuscript aligns with 3 Nephi and other scripturesWhy this is precisely the kind of record we would expect to findHollow Earth theories, speculation, and what it means for future scriptureThis could be a major discovery for those awaiting the records of the Lost Ten Tribes.#LostTenTribes #BookOfMormon #Apocrypha #LDSChapter Markers / Timestamps00:00 - Intro: The Lost Ten Tribes & New Discovery02:28 - Christ’s “Other Sheep” – John 10 & 3 Nephi05:09 - The Acts of Saint Matthew in the City of the Priests08:05 - Christ Visiting the Ten Tribes – What the Record Claims11:14 - Why This Matches Exactly What We Would Expect14:45 - The City of the Blessed & Ancient Attestations18:10 - Hollow Earth Theories & Other Speculation21:51 - Growing Up with Church History & Primary Sources25:33 - What Records of the Ten Tribes Might Contain29:48 - Final Thoughts: This Could Be a Major DiscoveryJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Subscribe to Cardon Ellis' Adventure Channel, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/@CardonEllisAdventuresThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio⚡Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids book visit the following linkhttps://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kids .

There's a massive hole in the New Testament that almost nobody talks about.In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus rises from the dead… and then basically disappears for 40 days with almost no explanation. Luke gives us only 211 words about the risen Lord’s ministry before jumping to Acts.In this episode, we explore:What “Luke’s Lacuna” actually isWhy Luke barely covers the 40 days after the resurrectionHow Joseph Smith connected those 40 days to temple ordinancesWhat early Christian and apocryphal texts say Jesus taught during this timeWhy this “missing” period might be one of the most important parts of the Savior’s ministryIf you’ve ever wondered what Jesus was actually doing between His resurrection and ascension — this episode is for you.#LukesLacuna #40Days #TempleOrdinances #WardRadioChapter Markers / Timestamps:00:00 - Intro: What is Luke’s Lacuna?01:40 - What “Lacuna” Means (The Big Hole)02:30 - Luke Wrote Both the Gospel and Acts04:12 - Stitching Luke + Acts Together (Removing John)05:04 - “Clothed With Power From on High” = Endowment06:56 - The 40 Days Are Basically Skipped08:05 - Word Count Comparison: Luke’s Massive Gap09:24 - The Bountiful Gospel Fills the Hole10:16 - Jesus Commanded Them to Stay in the Temple11:56 - D&C 95: Joseph Smith Connects It to Temple Ordinances14:55 - Joseph Smith Said Christ Taught Temple Rituals to the Apostles16:43 - Apocryphal & Gnostic Texts About the 40 Days18:35 - The Didache: The Earliest Christian Document21:03 - Why These Texts Were Rejected23:46 - “Lacuna of Luca” (Live Song)27:48 - Final Thoughts & OutroJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Subscribe to Cardon Ellis' Adventure Channel, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/@CardonEllisAdventuresThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio⚡Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids book visit the following linkhttps://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kids .
