Zack was on his way to get ice cream at Marble Slab when my
husband, Emilio, and I ran into him in front of a Thai restaurant.
Within seconds he was completely willing to be on the second hour of
The Way of the Master Radio which was a breath of fresh air for me.
Zack explained to me that he was a Mormon but with unorthodox Mormon theology. He was kind enough to give us his time and dialogue quite a bit about what he believed. He held to an interesting view of the soul of man, believing that man, at death, simply returned to theelectricity in the universe. Orthodox neither to Mormonism or the historic
Christian faith, Zack's view was a good place to start talking
about eternal issues. Unlike many Mormons, Zack was open to speak
about these things and had many ideas and questions about spiritual matters. So we put him on the air with Todd Friel.
After the program my husband was able to answer and refute much of what Zack had believed and asserted about the Bible, the canon, and inspiration.
In the end,we gave Zack the good news about Christ crucified. With a knowledge of his sin, and about what Christ did on the cross. Still Zack felt that he was the measure of all things, that he would determine for himself whether or not the God of Scripture was worthy of believing in.
So we talked with him about secular humanism versus the
biblical world view and Zack listened patiently as we talked back
and forth for almost an hour. Then he said,
"I guess I've been given a lot to think about today!"
Because of his gracious attitude we rewarded him and took him out for ice cream. I got chocolate and sweet cream. Emilio ordered half chocolate and cinnamon vanilla, and I'm not sure
what Zack got something with carmel--It was something like an extra extra large. As we ate ice-cream we talked more and gave him tracts and an invite to our church. :-)

We pray that God opens Zack's eyes and grants him eternal life!
