- Welcome to The Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. As we look at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter -day
- 00:18
- Saints, also known as the Mormons, and we see their view of God, well, it's a little bit more like science fiction.
- 00:25
