17:00 I worry you might be trying to get me off the straight and narrow path. I worry you might be nice to pull me into the broad way with you. If you are trying to understand us great. Evidence you are trying to understand us is you making an apology video and asking us to comment. Your watching of ex-Mormons is evidence against you trying to understand us. Learning from ex-members of any group does not make sense, if the group is available. We are christians, so no Mormon became a christian. We already are.

15:20 Ex-Mormons who are eager to talk about us, are usually liars. I don't trust ex-members of anything. Why would you trust ex-members of a group of good neighbors?

15:40. That is not an accurate description of our theology!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are places in the best heaven for 100% of the people who ever lived on this earth. The only doubt a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints could have is whether they will endure to the end. Jesus Christ twice in The Bible informs us enduring to the end is a requirement to be saved in the kingdom of heaven. Those verses in The Bible disprove any christian who claims they are certainly getting into heaven no matter what they do.

15:20. The Bible is extremely works based.

7:00 Utah isn't a theocracy and isn't super majority Mormon. It was almost all Mormons in the 1800's. It is definitely highly influenced by the large number (I think we are at about 50% now.) of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Over all, not a bad assessment by you.

I am watching your other videos, to see how rude, polite, offensive, unoffensive, etc. you were in those videos. I appreciate this apology.

4:35 Accurate. Here is a more specific description of what it means to have to go. We are TAUGHT all men who are physically, mentally, and emotionally able are commanded to be missionaries. There are no punishments for not doing it. I had teachers when I was young who did not go on missions. One specifically was planning a professional tennis career, which did not work out. The temples, which are restricted, are not off limits to those who are missionary age and not going on missions. The church schools are not restricted to those who are missionary age and not going on missions. The highest leadership in the church never taught shunning or cold shoulders to those who are missionary age and not going on missions.

As to the question about the FLDS and whether the church thinks of them as a part of the LDS faith I think most LDS members would say no, at least I would not claim them a part of the LDS faith nor do I think they would attempt to claim to be a part of the main body of LDS saints. There have been many different quite a few branches off the main body of the church since it was founded, the two that are\were best known are the FLDS and the reorganized church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints or RLDS. The RLDS split off from the LDS after Joseph Smiths death and their prophet for a long time came from the descendants of Joseph Smith. Eventually the line of children from Joseph Smith did not provide a suitable heir and the church switched to being managed by someone outside of his family, in 2000 after a decline in membership it looked to be moving towards bankruptcy and to get the loans needed to keep the church going it was forced to make some changes including changing it's name to "The Church of Christ" and no longer claiming the book of Mormon as an inspired record while still using it as a book of scripture or at least this is what I can recall as a LDS member hearing about the changes (This is a serious simplification and I am sure that those who are of this faith might be able to share much more than I and might consider this an oversimplification). FLDS separated from the church several presidents of the church latter after Wilford Woodruff became president claiming to have received command from the previous president John Taylor to stay true to the practice of polygamy. The main body of the church slowly phased out all practice of polygamy, but the FLDS church did not. If you want details about this splinter faith most of what I know about the faith has come from documentaries as I was born and raised in the eastern states and had no exposure to this primarily out west church. As to the official stance of the church to the splinter groups we send the same message we send to all to come unto Christ and learn of the doctrine of salvation. However for any individual's who are known to have connections to polygamy there are special interviews that must be had with church leadership and if they currently are practicing polygamy or plan to they would not be allowed to be baptized as this practice is not allowed within the church today. At least that is what I heard as a missionary. Honestly, with the title of your channel being Kingdom business I thought you might have been of the Jehovah Witness faith (You know with them being connected to kingdom halls as their church buildings) and that their might have been some kind of twist in which the claim was that JW's were more persecuted. I would even have been open to that claim. I know they also get a lot of negative press with their proselytizing.

Big fan of Ward Radio here, I contacted them with a link to this video. Hopefully they see it! Bless you for your voices!

I thank you guys and I love you. God bless you ❤

Very nice video! I would add that the most persecuted religion in America... Hands down are Muslims. Every since 9/11 I don't think there is even a competition between the two. I know of no other religion where just by what you wear you get automatic hate or fear.

Most politicians have good intentions and then they get in and they become wicked because it’s too hard. Trump might not have been that great but as he became president, I saw a change in him. He has become a different man. He’s a better man than he was when he was first, elected.

Christ can shine through in every day situations if we focus on him and serving others

The reason we go by members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and not "Mormons" is because that was the revealed name given by the lord when the church was restored. He said if it be the church of a man it is called after a man, but if it is my church it will be called in my name. And we honor that. It was never the "Mormon" church but we were nicknamed that because of the Book of Mormon: another testament of Jesus Christ. The Bible testifies of Jesus Christ as does the Book of Mormon. I went through the Book of Mormon and marked every mention of the Lords name (Lord, God, Father, Son, Messiah, Holy One of Israel, Christ, Lord God omnipotent, Jehovah, Eternal Judge, Maker, etc) I could find and marked it in blue. The whole book was plastered on almost every single page all over. It is a visual representation and reminder of how it is not just something we say. We believe in Him.

We love you guys.

Also, I would love to chat with you guys anytime. We are allowed to have caffeine, just not coffee, tea, or alcohol or drugs. The principle is, we need to care for our as a gift and a temple of the spirit of God. I would be happy to chat with you guys about the Freemason misconceptions also because there's actually not as much there as is often said

Those business aren't owned by the church itself but rather from members of the church who tithe 10%

I will also be your friend from the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

I was a missionary in Ukraine

We believe that Jesus called apostles and we have them today as they did in Christs time.

In answer to your question and as a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints... The FLDS split from us on the basis of thinking polygamy should continue where we ended it.

I honestly don't care if people don't call me a Christian as a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I don't have to prove it you anyone but the savior himself. He'll be the one judging me in the end. My call is to follow him and that's my only focus

I wonder how as Christian's we will all become one in Christ with the way things currently are. We all have a lot to learn.

Amazing that you found Jesus and got out of the darkness of the drug world. It truly is Satans chains.

I'm open to any further truth I can get my hands on. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ I respect your desire to stay on safe doctrinal ground. I would suggest however that you can keep all the truth you have without abandoning anything true in the LDS church. We don't need to fear the truth anywhere. I agree with the infighting of Christianity and the judgement. "By this shall men know ye are my disciples if ye have love one for another" Also thank you for your example and building bridges.

Thank you for building bridges we are all Gods children

Theres a difference between policies and procedures and scriptures and personal opinions. They all can be corrupted. Only a true sincere prayer and a spiritual experience, and a true reply from God (not in a piece of toast) can confirm anything. Start praying and asking God, hes the source. I have received visions and dreams and waking revelation all my life. I joined the lds Church at the age of 22 because of a personal spiritual experience. I know this is where im meant to be. Many times (before and after joining) i would have out of body experiences where i was quickened to be in christs presence. Its worth trying. But if you choose what you are currently, with no spiritual experiences, please dont dictate to others what you think is wrong about them. Im not here to seek my own truth, but THE TRUTH no matter if i like it or not.

I'm lds in South Australia. There's truth and false concepts shared when you read out that list. You may want to get all the facts from the lds church. Thanks for trying to be friendly, though. (We do have internal issues because we have people, and people aren't perfect). You need to study better. We understand christs atonement covers all people. But faith and baptism and other ordinances require acting. Imagine if the apostles just listened to Jesus and didn't walk around and preach. Actions demonstrate level of commitment and that we hear him, the atonement covers us. Unlike the other couple that that spoke you aren't as sincere. (1) You'll need to ask the ojibwe nation about where adam and Eve were. They had the information first. (Eden may not have been on earth). They just released their information (scrolls). They agree with the Book of Mormon. (2) the nemenhah records (book, second complete edition). Released by the native Americans themselves (our church doesn't support it ironically), they support the Book of Mormon. The Maori records (not yet released) also know the connections. Policies and procedures and scriptures can also be manipulated by man. I had a personal spiritual experience. Please be more tolerant. The bible says Luke 9:49-50. "Those that aren't against me are for me." Jesus said to his prejudiced apostles to be more tolerant.

We arent the most persecuted (im lds in South Australia). I would encourage having a personal spiritual experience instead of trusting scriptures alone, as scriptures can be altered. Thanks for your honesty and respectfulness. I believe we should be more united too. Luke 9:49-50 "those who aren't against me are for me ". Jesus teaches religious tolerance to his apostles (on many occassions). Im not trying to convert you. I agree you should be yourselves. Yes, people can be elitist. Trust where christ directs you. Yes, theres to much division. You video is fantastic. Heres something interesting. The native Americans themselves are releasing their records (not acknowledged by the lds church). The nemenhah records (book, second complete edition). The ojibwe nation records (under translation now). They back the book of Mormon. I respect them. I had a vision before, during, and after reading the nemenhah records. Jesus appeared in the last one and said "don't persecute my people the nemenhah ". Just like you're saying we should love one another.

Hey guys, I just found your channel. I’m a Latter Day Saint in Las Vegas. I can’t make it out to Texas but I would love to do a webchat or something like that where we discuss beliefs and why we believe the way we do. I definitely do not know everything. But I can at least help to explain some beliefs and why I choose to be a Latter Day Saint. You can feel free to post it if you’d like

I think Jesus is mourning. The one who is laughing is Satan because he is the one who divides.! Everyone who profess Christ acts like him.wouldn’t be making all these videos, condemning others. For the most part and I’m not saying all, but most evangelicals are modern day Pharisees. As Stephen Pinaker says if I leave my church, I’m definitely not going to join them. And he’s a evangelical Christian. We can all learn from each other, despite our differences and move towards being united in the faith Christ to bring our other brothers and sisters to Him, so that his atonement wasn’t in vain for those who have not yet accept him.

3 things: 1. Thank you, for truly trying. 2. There's another channel called Hello Saints! It's run by a protestant pastor called Jeff, and he's not a convert, but he is actually trying to understand us like you guys are, finding the similarities and differences. 3.A book you might try is The Greatest Quest, by Blaine M. Yorgason. It is slightly fictional, in that they changed the names to honor people's privacy, but it has a list of points pulled from the Bible that are interesting and key pieces. I don't mean for conversion, but like you said, "At their heart, they admit he is their salvation." The points are at the heart of it.

Hi, many of my friends are you call "Mormons" actually thats not theyre correct name. And 80% of what youre mentioned is absolutly wrong! If you want to have success with this channel i reccomend you do actual research. Thats not the way you get friends. Luckily theres Jesus Christ who allowes us to repent anf do better next time. Ill pray for you. Luke 23:34 34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing

Interesting. Will have to look at this

Asking about *apostles*... the LDS church has a quorum or council of 12 apostles that are called by revelation. They are the 2nd highest governing body of the church, where the 1st Presidency (the Prophet and his 2 councilors) are the highest governing body. We believe that the church president is in direct revelatory communication with Christ himself when it comes to church matters.

Millenarianism (lat.) or "hiliasm" (Greek) in the Christian tradition is the belief that at the end of time Christ will appear in glory and establish the Kingdom of God on earth. A happy reign that should last for 1,000 years will be preceded by a series of adversities. Although it is a teaching present among some early Christians, whose falsification was heresy, millenarianism is also present in many modern ideologies, which is why its influence on society is significant. Therefore, in the new 'Historical Quarter', among other things, we talk about the causes and development of millenarianism, shed light on the historical myth of mass social panic due to the end of the world on the eve of the year 1000, and show how it manifests itself in today's time.

Mormonism - The belief that there are three distinct Gods: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, which is the opposite of the Trinity doctrine of One God. Belief also includes faith in the God of the Heavenly Mother. When a man dies, he becomes like God. Along with the Bible, they believe in 3 other books. The books Mormons believe to be divine are: the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price. The prophet Joseph Smith, who, according to Mormon belief, was visited by an angel.

It turns out that the founders of the Mormons are Freemasons, the first core of which is the secret order of Jewish Masons and Kabbalists Bnai Brit, the second core of which is the order of the Grand Lodge of Scotland and, finally, the third core of which is members of the French Grand Orient.

Wow. Big hugs to you my brothers and sisters. Very impressive video

29:08 Look up Hawns Mill massacre

I'm not trying to convert, nor can I, only the Holy Spirit can. Have you read the Book of Mormon? Would you be willing to do some videos of your reaction to the similarities and differences in the Book of Mormon?

We prefer CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS…… not to remove “Jesus Christ “from our title. Proclaiming it is “His” church. Mormon and LDS are slang. Thank you for your kind words and we except your forgiveness.

Jacob Hansen from Thoughtful Faith or the guys from Ward Radio

Much love, keep up the good work!

I have said this before. Latter-day Saints don't mind not having fellowship with other Christians as believers in worship. There are huge differences. However, to say "Mormons" are not Christians (or worse don't believe in Jesus the Christ as our Savior) is to bear false witness. Even calling Mormons "false Christians" is at least acknowledging who they believe they are worshiping.

Agreed IDK how Christians can support the demoncratic party as they support anti-Christian values. As you guys said about even non Christian democrats have realized some reminds me #walkaway movement. As Ashley said about not wanting to know reminds me the expression ignorance is bliss.

Mark Winger? FLDS are separate differing in doctrine as they still actively practice polygamy in this life. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints have not practiced polygamy in this life for quite a while Wilford Woodruff being one of the early prophets is the one who revealed to the church it would no longer be in this life.

The FLDS broke off from us when we ceased polygamy, and they rebelled and wanted to continue the practice. We pray that they would see their errors and come back to us, or at least find another Christ-focused faith.

Our friend at "Mormon Book Reviews* call us non-orthodox Christians, I've also heard "Non-trinitarian Christians". Thanks this video was refreshing, I was bracing myself for impact.
