Preaching to the Dead? Mormon Theology Gone Wrong
Did Jesus really preach the gospel to the dead? And is there a second chance to accept salvation after we die?
In this video, we explore the origin of the Mormon doctrine of spirit-world missionary work, based on Doctrine and Covenants 138 and Joseph F. Smith’s 1918 vision. Using 1 Peter 3:18-20 and 1 Peter 4:6, Mormonism teaches that people can accept the LDS gospel after death—but does that line up with what the Bible actually says?
We’ll contrast the LDS interpretation with the biblical view and explain why this second-chance theology isn’t just wrong—it’s dangerous.
