ASK DOC: WHAT AUTHORITY DO CULTS CLAIM? - EXAMINING THE LATTER DAY SAINTS (MORMONS)

Every cult stands or falls on one issue: authority. Before doctrine is altered, authority must be redefined.

In this episode of Ask Doc, Mormonism is examined as a clear example of how this shift occurs. While affirming the Bible in form, it introduces additional scriptures, ongoing prophetic revelation, and a governing authority that ultimately controls interpretation.

This is not a minor adjustment—it is a structural replacement.
Biblical Christianity rests on a closed and sufficient revelation in Christ. Mormonism reopens that system, placing authority in new texts and living prophets, allowing doctrine to expand beyond Scripture.

The result is predictable: once authority shifts, truth is no longer fixed.
The issue is not whether Scripture is used. The issue is whether it remains final.
