Does Mormonism teach that there were good apostates? Part of the Mormon religion is their belief in "the Great Apostasy", which says that for almost 1800 years the Gospel wasn't available. However, there are moments where they say apostates could be morally good, and have good beliefs. Specifically, they say very positive things about the Protestant reformers like Calvin, Luther, Zwingli, Knox, etc. However, I think the Great Apostasy still causes a major problem for Mormonis

Which Early Church theologians held to annihilationist eschatology? What did they say about the mortality or immortality of the soul, and how did it affect their view of hell? Here we’ll look at Athanasius, Justin Martyr, Theophilus, Tatian, Irenaeus, Ignatius, and Augustine.

I had the priviledge of being a guest on the MCS Spotlight podcast, to discuss apologetics. This is part 2.
