People often ask, “How does Marshall know so much about Mormonism?” His journey began with a sincere desire to know whether Mormonism was true. That hunger for truth drove him to collect a vast library of original Mormon books and documents, many dating back to the 1800s. By studying these sources, he could compare the claims of Mormon leaders with the unchanging Word of God.
But Marshall’s goal was never just to build a collection — it was to seek truth. Jesus promised, “If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:31–32, KJV). Freedom is not found in religion, rituals, or historical study alone — it is found in Christ Himself.
The Bible warns that human traditions and man-made religions cannot save. Paul wrote, “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily” (Colossians 2:8–9, KJV). Marshall’s research confirmed that Mormonism rests on shifting teachings and false foundations, while the Bible alone proclaims the unchanging gospel.
This discovery led him to emphasize a vital truth: salvation is not found in a church organization, a prophet, or works of religion. Salvation is found only through trusting in Jesus Christ. As Scripture declares, “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12, KJV).
Even the Samaritan woman at the well asked Jesus if salvation was tied to a particular religious system, saying: “Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?” (John 4:12, KJV). Jesus’ response pointed her away from man-made religion to Himself, the living water that alone satisfies (John 4:13–14).
Marshall’s library is large, but his confidence doesn’t rest on books — it rests on the Word of God and the finished work of Christ on the cross. His research equips him to share the truth boldly with those lost in Mormonism, but his ultimate message is simple: religion cannot save you, only Jesus can.
