I Tried Answering Every CES Letter Question to a CES Director… Rate My Answers
Thursday, 29 January, 2026
In this episode, I take on one of the most influential documents in modern Mormon history: Jeremy Runnells’ CES Letter. I sat down and tried to answer every single question Runnells originally sent to a CES director — from Book of Mormon anachronisms, to the Book of Abraham, to prophets, polygamy, the priesthood ban, temple issues, and more.How well did I actually do?Did any of the traditional LDS apologetic arguments hold up?Where did the truth lead when I followed the evidence?This video is an honest, unfiltered breakdown of my own attempt to respond to the CES Letter point-by-point, and what I learned along the way. Whether you’re LDS, post-Mormon, or somewhere in between, this analysis will give you clarity, context, and maybe even a few surprises.📚 Topics Covered:Book of Mormon archaeologyDNA and Native American originsBook of Abraham translation problemsPolygamy & polyandryProphets and revelationKirtland Safety SocietyRace and the priesthoodModern prophetic claimsTransparency and LDS Church history👍 Like, subscribe, and share to support independent Mormon journalism.📰 Hosted by Dives from the Mormon News Roundup.Please consider making a donation by joining our Patreon https://www.patreon.com/MormonNewsRoundup Email: kolob@mormonnewsroundup.org Website: https://mormonnewsroundup.org/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mormonnewsroundup Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mormon_news_roundup/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093511869924 X: https://twitter.com/NewsMormon New episodes LIVE every Sunday and Monday nights at 9:30PM ESTPlease like and subscribe and hit the notifications bell.
