Love you Jeff. I was Mormon my whole life and I have seen the truth because of a great friend you met and Sandra Tanner and you played a huge role in my research. I was baptised Christian on Easter this year 2019. Keep up your amazing work God bless much love. More lives will change and go to the truth like mine.
I just now commented on Kwaku's youtube channel and interacted with some other comments. Found out Kwaku doesnt want this video public....WHY? He permanently banned me from his channel because I commented with the link of this video and other comments telling others to check out Apologia's response, but he banned me in a way that hides my comments from others. I can still comment on his video BUT, no one can see my comments except for myself when logged into my channel. How I found out about this is that I also have a second channel. I logged into that channel to check out my notifications and happened to go back to the video I commented on Kwaku's channel. Thats when i noticed my comments did not appear in the comments section. I logged back into my other channel and there it was! Which means Kwaku is hiding users who's comments disagree with his videos. I'm sure he did not ban you because he knows you will call him out publicly if he were to hide your comments on his videos. Just a heads up if anyone decided to comment on his videos. Keep up the good work!
FYI, here is my second channel. So the fact that I can comment under my own comment from another channel proves I have not been banned from Apologia, but I cannot do this under Kwaku's youtube channel because he has hidden both of my channels from interaction on his videos.
It’s true. He blocked my comments even though it didn’t violate guidelines. But it just speaks more about his character and shows his lack of tolerance. My question was if they support oppression of people. And I gave the example of Palestinian and Israelis both which are oppress. And that got me banned.
I think Proverbs 18:2 sums up the situation with Kwaku rather succinctly: "A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion."
Martin England it doesn’t? I’m honestly wondering . So if you accept Jesus Christ you could never repent for your sins and go on living wrong without repenting? I don’t think the lord wants it that way. I was under the impression that you had to accept Jesus and repent for your sins and acknowledge them and try and do better .
"Your arguments are poor. And the reason that they're poor is that you're not grounded in the word of the living God. You're not getting your position from Scripture. You've gotten your arguments from culture." -Jeff Durbin (1:18:25) Very powerful statement. Especially in the context it was said (around 1:12:27). It's a hard word. Pray that God would soften Kwaku's heart to receive this correction and ultimately find rest for his soul in the one true Jesus.
Fyi, the "I feel"s are code for God is telling me, showing me, guiding me, etc. They believe very strongly in personal revelation through their feelings.
I was so relieved when you guys admitted to getting the date wrong on the article. That was the ONLY thing of substance that I found in his videos. I love the honesty and integrity you guys have shown with these accusations.
Personal attacks happen when a person can't stand within their own arguments. When Kwaku starts to see his position falter, he goes the personal attack route. Sad. Yes to Proverbs 18:2.
Good work you guys. My family members are Mormon and this “attitude” is prevalent in the culture and very sad to be on the receiving end of. Ps. I’ve wanted to meet you Jeff when I lived in Chandler AZ but never got the opportunity. I was saved through your ministry and for that I pray God continues to lift up your ministry. I love you guys :’) Godbless you
Reasonable BB He gets it from scripture. That’s where all Bible believers get our doctrine: “For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.” Romans 10:10 ESV www.bible.com/59/rom.10.10.esv “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 10:10 KJV www.bible.com/1/rom.10.10.kjv “giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” Colossians 1:12-14 ESV www.bible.com/59/col.1.12-14.esv
@borrowed tomb: Didn't you watched the video? Or did you just decide to post without observing and listening. Perfect example of willful ignorance. Jeff just destroyed Kwaku's lies.
I'm sorry this situation happened. I know you are clarifying and explaining the truth to the audience but trust that vengeance belongs to God. Even though Kwaku and others will slander you and bear false witness about you, Jesus Christ has saved you and the truth will prevail.
Daniel Omitted funny how each channel has their own view. I’m sure from his followers they would disagree. I’m not saying you’re wrong. It’s just funny how two people can watch the same thing and get a different message
Black Dahlia It is the weight of the evidence. Kwaku provides a shady website that says Jeff has 11 arrest records. Anyone with reason and logic would know not to rely upon the top hit in a Google search to ascertain any type of truth. Kwaku provides Jackson as a “witness” yet Jackson doesn’t read any of the direct email correspondents with Apologia church, he just summarizes. Also, there is video evidence of how kind Dr. White was to Jackson outside the Mesa Temple. Apologia provided the Biblical requirement of two or three lines of witness and Kwaku was found wanting. It’s a shame. The debate is available to watch anytime and Kwaku even states in the video that “Dr. White is a charitable man” now he sits in mockery and uses condescending voices that would make Steven Anderson blush with embarrassment.
This is un believable of Kweku I watched the show Dr white and Pastor Jeff were nice not only did Dr White gave kweku beautiful leather-bound bible specially made for Kweku . And this is how you repay them? Be encouraged Apologia we love you guys and we are benefiting from this Ministry. Kweku find it in your heart to apologize these are good folks.
I know right? They were so nice to him and went out of their way to make sure he'd have everything he needed -- flights, a ride from the airport, a nice hotel, money for meals, various books and this is how he turns around and treats them? Ungrateful would be an understatement. I know a few other adjectives I'd like to use but I'm not going to let my flesh get the better of me... And just so people know: getting a bible professionally re-bound is not cheap. That gift would've cost the ministry a few hundred dollars alone.
Been following you for a while Jeff, love what you do and love how everything is done through the word of god. Was just watching Kyuku responses and I’m very disappointed in the straight out lies and personal attacks he did on you and James.very very ungodly I think just his video alone shows quite easily that he is following a different god. God bless you guys ,your all doing an outstanding job.
Except that I wouldn't capitalize the "G" in that context. Yes, he thinks he will become a god. This is in violation of the 1st commandment: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me."
@@all4jesus594 Whether mhotl's comment was intended as an atheistic attack on deism in general, or not, the statement "All (lowercase g) gods are made in the likeness of man" is a very true statement. All gods are made in the likeness of man. Only the true and living God is unique and holy in his nature.
If you are dealing with someone who is already up to his neck in deception, did you really think you would come away feeling good? No, with people in cults you often come away feeling almost violated, and misrepresented. They will swear that day is night if it suits their purpose. In the end it degenerates into " he said, she said." This is to distract from any issues of substance. The way forward is to detach from them, just as you would detach from someone with an addiction, in order to protect yourself. Kwaku is not interested in truth. Until he is you are wasting your time on him.
Hello I enjoy your shows.i watched that debate and enjoyed it and felt that you gave a good account of Christian theology. I am in the middle and not a calvinist as I also hold to some Wesleyan theology on somethings. But I appreciate your content and it's every good stuff. May God bless you all
Kwaku's attack on Pastor Durbin's stance on abortion made me ask myself, "how many abortions did Kwaku prevent? How many families did kwaku influence to NOT KILL."
It's really pathetic and I really feel sorry that you guys had to deal with that millenialesque childish cry baby man-child character but I also understand that you had to put away his false claims (backed by what the Scripture teaches).
That young man demonstrated in the debate and his videos after, the mindset and arrogance of most LDS i have met in my 60 yrs.also mormon doctrine says murderers cannot go to heaven,unforgivable sin yet he calls out Gods stance on murder and mocks Jeff and dr.white holding to scripture.hippocrite,arrogant,prideful,full of himself.yup,he is a Mormon
Kwaku did misrepresent how he was treated on Apologia Radio. I watched that entire episode myself and was surprised to hear Kwaku's later remarks regarding both James White and Jeff Durbin. However, I cannot say I am really that surprised by his "turn about" either. By his own testimony, Kwaku admitted on the show that he was raised as something of a "confused" non-denominational youth without a grounding in Scripture, Theology, or Church History. Without pursuing any higher biblical education (college or seminary), he became doubtful of the historic Christian faith. At some point he encountered the LDS Church and seems to have had some kind of "personal conversion" to the false religion of Mormonism. The fact is that Kwaku did a very messy job of defending the polytheism of his religion because he lacks an understanding of the discipline of biblical studies and theology. So I think after he did the program he felt that he needed to portray himself as the victim of these "mean Calvinists." It does show a lack of personal integrity on Kwaku's part. Pray for him. He remains a very lost and deceived soul. Amen.
I saw that debate live The moment when Dr James White pointed out that bringing up polytheistic pagans doesnt refute monotheism in the bible was the final nail in the coffin. It was great to see and an awesome moment. No anger at all
I would ask everyone take a step back and just let it go. Whether one is on the offensive or defensive when it comes to this incident, it seems that this divide only grows between you and Kwaku. I love your show and the ministry you represent. Thank you for sharing the love of God and love of the people you come into contact with.
as often happens, Kwaku got salty over biblical truths refuting his dodgy position, and so he went down the route of slander and attacking peoples' character. his mormon theology failed, so all he had was atheist Democratic arguments pertaining to abortion etc. he'll be a full-blown atheist soon enough; you can tell.
Like previous comments have said, I don’t completely agree with Calvinism, but I totally sympathize and like your respect as well as your truth telling of kwaku. I have had friends that are Mormons and they unfortunately have acted similarly. They claimed I was against who they were and I was disrespecting them when I was merely saying that their theology doesn’t hold truth. However, they are very good people, but they do have a false sense of theology.
Kwaku is an extremely dishonest and disingenuous person. He bans anyone (including myself) from his comment section for simply disagreeing and/or refuting him. He also heavily edits his comments as well. For instance, he pinned a comment from a fellow Mormon and then made it so nobody could refute the comment itself. This explains why his comment section looks like one big Mormon echo-chamber. It didn't occur organically, he deliberately orchestrated it to make it appear that way. All I did was point out the fact that he's had numerous opportunities to understand the orthodox Christian view of the trinity, even to the point where the information has been practically spoonfed to him, yet he continues to misrepresent it. That's literally all I said. No abuse, vulgar language or personal attacks on his character, nothing. This along with everything he said about James White and Jeff just validates my initial point in this post. Shame on you, Kwaku.
@@mr400meter 1) its only been up 37 minutes so he hasnt had chance to see it 2) its 1am in the morning so he's probably asleep 3) this comment is not about the apostacy. I have not discussed the apostacy i have simply mentioned the word. When i discuss apostacy it makes jeff durbin look bad cos he has no answer to it. Hence he deletes any discussion about apostacy. He has literally done it over 2 dozen times to me
Thanks to The Ninja, the Bear and the Girl for responding in such a firm, forthright and genuine way to that young man. Me thinks he doth protest too much. Perhaps he is under a great deal of conviction by the Holy Spirit to repent and be saved on account of your kindness AND your honest, loving, firm rebuke. Be blessed my brothers and sister. Coram Deo!
I had watched Kwaku's response before this came out, just due to curiosity and he was very dishonest indeed, said things that weren't even true if you actually watch the debate itself.
Oddly enough, in the Apologia debate with Kwaku.. At one point Kwaku turns to Durbin and says something along the lines of “you are so humble. You’ve just sat here and let Dr. White and I go back and forth without jumping in.” So clearly, he wasn’t expecting Durbin to be a moderator. 😑 And none of the questions asked of him were actually answered. He was trying to win an argument (and had no foundation) to build it on.
I have spoken to kwaku on TH-cam before.. I’m talking 2 years ago roughly. I’d hoped he would run across and speak to Jeff Durbin and Dr white. God is good because it happened. Kwaku is a smart mouthed kid.., and got the information he firmly needed. I’m not LDS. In fact my heart hurts for these folk. I’m born again and follow Jesus of the Bible.
hey apologia / the dividing line, is it possible to put time stamps in the descriptions? Since alot of the videos cover a few topics sometimes its nice to jump to one topic.
55:43 The only thing that i saw that even implied that the debate was "1 on 1" was James at the beginning saying that Jeff was "In charge"; however, that could just be a reference to the Show being Jeff's. idk Kwaku is still being pretty bold in all his claims it seems.
Hey i just wanted to say the music takes away from what is being said, yeh it might add to the mood but unnecessary or could be lower in volume maybe. Want to hear what your saying not listen to the music. Was a lot better once the music stopped.
Wait....I just had to pause to write this.. He really was talking about Zac?? When I heard him say that, I actually thought he was mistaken and probably meant pastor Luke! Especially when he imitated the body language. (Luke the bear lol) I don’t know Zac personally, only from the videos.. But I just knew there was no way he was talking about him! Wow so he actually was referring to Zac when he said that?? That’s crazy!
I know I'm 3 weeks late but do you think maybe Kwaku's complete 180 on events might be down to pressure from his church? He seems to be so dishonest and far from the guy who was talking via your emails/msgs that it feels very much that he has been persuaded. Maybe some of his church members didn't like their representation despite it being clear it was his views? At the same time, being totally honest I don't know why but the fact this has come out like this doesn't surprise me too much. During the conversation Kwaku was acting a little disrespectful and far from humble at times and I saw Dr. White pick up on it - it wasn't that he got angry but he clearly was taken aback by Kwaku's lack of respect and it did change the level of his patience with him. It wasn't anything extreme but I've never seen Dr. White like that and he's obviously encountered much opposition in discussion so it wasn't the content but just Kwaku's manner at times.
I disagree with Jeff on his Calvinism, but he certainly comes across of LOVING, REASONABLE and WILLING TO LISTEN. I commend Jeff for the dignity with which he's handled this situation with Kwaku.
I think its fair to say many also disagree with the errors of King James Onlyism. But you are correct, sir; about Jeff. This is why I enjoy Jeff's witnessing to Mormons. This does not mean I agree with Calvinism. But at least he's a Biblical Trinitarian, like myself. He is still a brother in Christ.
I disagree with you Kristi Smith or Han (I know Han is not your real name) on issues of Calvinism (we had very cordial emails btw), but I LOVE your videos dealing with Mormonism in light of your past time as a Mormon. Guys, go check this channel out for solid Mormon videos!
You mean lying about what he was going to do? He said he would act as a moderator, but he constantly jumped into the debate and sided with "Dr." White. That's not even open to interpretation, that's blatant in the video.
@@mr400meter In the agreement they made before the debate began. Kwaku would never have agreed to a two-on-one debate, especially not with such rude opponents who constantly interrupt and misrepresent what he believes.
For all reading this, please pray for the you tube family...Knorp and South...they are a family with nine children, and Mormon. I believe the Lord has placed them on my heart. Their oldest son is preparing to leave for his "mission" trip. I've tagged them in several videos. I believe they could make a difference in many ways if they would accept truth.
Man, wow, you guys did a fantastic job of shutting the door on this Kookoo who apparently lied to his own audience. Pray that your generosity to cover his trip, you genuineness to kindly tell him that he was wrong and prove it by his own word, and the love you guys have shown even in the midst of being so utterly disrespected, that he hopefully comes around to see that you guys have been these things, and repents to see the true love that comes from true Christianity. Brilliant job guys
Pray for the boy..hes really deceived..seeing his last vid about zelf on shelf?.wanting to debate and donate money to LGBTQ charity..also saying in the 3mormons channel thinking Jesus is to return and bring world peace to everyone 😣 the demons be talking to him.. end times..
You have to be super careful with the "2-3 witnesses" rule when an accusation is made against an Elder, otherwise you end up with a mess like the Jehovah's Witnesses.
This misrepresentation of Christianity reminds me of the writings of the Apostle Paul in 2 Timothy 4:3-4 - "For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, will multiply teachers for themselves because they have an itch to hear what they want to hear. They will turn away from hearing the truth and will turn aside to myths. "
1 Peter 3:15-16 [15] but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, [16] having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.
Todays wtf? is from Proverbs 26 4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be just like him. 5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he feel wise in his own conceit.
I can't imagine being a believer in a religion from the mouth of a 14 year old boy who later couldn't keep himself out of jail (repeatedly) through his own incorrugible nature...
The problem with mainstream religions is that everyone of them think that they are right, especially with the Christian mainstream religion where you have many different divisions amongst its faith now. I don't know how it got that way, but i'd imagine that it wasn't Jesus's vision to have his name being represented in this manner and have all this infighting take place for centuries on who is more right.
Hello my beloved brothers and sisters in Christ at apologia. I love you guys I love your show I love the expository preaching that goes on and the fighting for the faith that you guys deliver Through apologetics and End abortion now And all the ministry that you do. Thank you so much. I want to make a comment about the viral video of the helicopter rescue of the 74-year-old hiker woman. I cannot say that I wasn’t laughing with you Guys as well, ( in truth I was ) while watching “ your “ live stream recorded video. However this was not the first time I’ve seen that video. The first time I saw it was by way of Ray comfort living waters. I have posted the link below for you to check out. Obviously the feeling and the emotion that well up while watching the video through his link versus yours is quite different. I just wanted to express to you that I think perhaps with the video cameras rolling to capture your reactions, there may been a lack of sensitivity. Feel me on this. I know you didn’t pre-plan this out. I know your reactions were only genuine. I just want to encourage you to maybe experience it through that woman’s pure Terror and shock that she must of experienced while that was happening. I sincerely doubt any of us have experienced spinning at that velocity. I can only imagine what it must’ve been like for someone of her age to trust in the helicopter, and to trust in the line, and to trust in the paramedics that were there at her aid and yet also my hope is that she was trusting in God to deliver her through all of that. Ray comfort captured it really well in his noting that feeling of empathy you really feel for that woman. Even imagining yourself in her place. I hope this In no way was a rebuke to you guys. For that was not my intention. But Merely giving voice to another side of the story that may have not been portrayed or considered as well. Once again I really appreciate all that you guys put out there and all that you are doing. Keep up the great work my brothers and sisters in Christ. I love you guys. Here is the link th-cam.com/video/wwPzj8CrbsI/w-d-xo.html
There is a mormon missionary that goes to our house they are good thats why my father let them come in and share about their gospel. At first its okay they say that because of joseph smith the words of god's is restored and I wasn't totally aware of that thinking how bad humanity is and as they come and go I learn new things and saying that we are saved through the atonement of christ and I totally agreed that is my basic knowledge about God. Mormons are really good their intentions is good. One time they shared something about pre-existence and they say we already exist in a spirit realm before we are born and they say jesus christ is our brother and I said okay and then after we are spiritual siblings and satan also is our spiritual siblings and make my fundamental knowledge wrong and made me confused. And because I read again the bible I already done understanding bible through clips and animations but also reading but more on watching animation. They are so good and there's one time that I was talking about someone who told me that mormons believe that they will be god someday and I told them its not right ? Asking them and I ask them like laughing expecting that they would agree to what I've said. Because of that it triggers me to read the bible again. Isaiah 43:10 John 1 1 John 5:7 Titus 3:5 John 1:18 Galatians 1:6-9 Ecclesiastes 9:5 Ephesians 2:8-9 Matthew 24:35 This verses is enough to say what is god and what kind of god he is. His words is not restored for it did not come to pass and if they say that it wasn't translated correctly then where is it? There is a distinction between creator and creation we will never be god someday for god exist from eternity to eternity. I don't want them to be offended because they have good intentions and yet they are mormons because they are born as mormon and dont have knowledge about the bible and saying that bible wasnt all true. I want to helo this mormon missionary they can't answer my questions yes it is true that not all can be answered but saying that the book of mormon is not contradictory to the bible. They believed in the bible and the book of mormon claimed that it was the most accurate above the earth. My date or what they goal was june 22 2019 but I tell them I'm not ready and still they continued to be here for me it is okay I want to help them I always attend their church everysunday and all of them are friendly and approachable. Please give me some advice
Maybe you could ask if they would study the new testament with you. You could show them those verses and help them see Jesus' gospel is one of grace not works and that there is assurance of salvation by believing in Christ alone.
I told them that I will read the book of mormon if they will also read the new testament and they agree and they told me they will also share their insights. I hope that the words will speak to them. Thank You!
@@iangienomillar8093 that's great!! I pray too that through the words of the New Testament the Holy Spirit will reveal God's grace and forgiveness of sin through faith in the true Jesus Christ!!
Which do you say it is and why? And why do you say only one church can be the true church of Christ? How do you define church? Christian denominations that may vary on secondary issues but all hold the same canon and profess the same core doctrines can very much be "one church". Your question seems to imply that you believe differently (I apologize if I am misinterpreting your question), and if so why do you believe differently? Most Christians from a wide variety of church traditions that I lnow recognize they may not have 100% correct doctrine but are as close as they can with their current understanding. This whole question turns on how you define church. So, as you ask that question, what definition of "church" are you using?
@@bricelory9534 By church im obviously NOT talking about an actual physical building. Christ did not come to earth and literally build a church with bricks and morter The bibles says that christ came to earth and established his church. Therefore if u know ur bible then u know wot that means. U dont need me to explain it or to define the word church. U already know wot it means. I mean the same as the bible when i say church Jehovis witnesses are christians. However who they actually beleive jehova is is completely different to who other christians beleive he is. Thats a fundamental difference Thats wot im talking about. You have all these different churches, most of them christians who all read the same bible, who are all in conflict with each other and all contradict each other. Only one of them can be right There are over 100 sects of christianity. How can that be ? There should only be one. U say that there are only slight differerences between them but i disagree. Theres fundamental differences. And even if there was only slight differences that wouldnt cut it with me. There shouldnt be ANY differences If christ came and established his church then theres no need for man to make even the slightest change to it
@@bricelory9534 Which do i say it is and why ? I say its the church of jesus christ of latter day saints Why ? 1) because what they say about the apostacy makes perfect sense. And nobody has ever even come close to proving to me that the apostacy never happend 2) revelation
@@oscarduke639 Oscar Duke Oscar Duke this is exactly why I asked you to define church. I disagree wholeheartedly that Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians, nor is it a Christian church. If you note, I said denominations that agree on the same core doctrines and have the same canon - the same set of books and documents they consider holy scripture. In the case of the Christian church, it is the series of books known commonly as the Old Testament and New Testament. Since you refuse to define your term church, I can only reply that you assume anyone who says they are a Christian is, and that is a definition I simply disagree with at a fundamental level - not just for the terms "church" or "Christian" but for just about label or distinguishing marker. Labels are only useful if they have a criteria to indicate what is within and without the group. That is why I ask for a definition of church. I do know what I believe the Bible means by Christ establishing his church, but I certainly don't know what you believe it means, which is why I ask. For the record, my definition is loosely something like: "church" can mean multiple things, from local congregations, specific denominations, as well as the global assembly/community of Christian believers either alive now or throughout history. This assembly is distinguished by a common belief in basic Christian tenets including the Trinity, the salvific purpose of Jesus' death and resurrection, that this salvation is received by the believer by faith in Jesus as savior alone, the Bible (Old and New Testaments) alone are God's inspired word to the world concerning salvation and God's plan throughout history, that the salvation of a believer leads to eternal life, Jesus will return to Earth to usher in the new creation. There may be other doctrines I might consider core, but hopefully this list gives you an idea of what I mean. With that in mind, in one way there are many churches - local congregations and different denominations - that actually composes THE church - the global assembly of believers throughout history. In that way, there may be many disagreements about certain interpretations and ideas, but they remain the same in the core beliefs. Those who step outside of those beliefs do not fall inside the Christian church. This is certainly a bit difficult because non-believers can be quite active in a local congregation or within a denomination. Which is why, also, I asked what definition you were using.
@@bricelory9534 Jehovis witnesses beleive in jesus christ therefore they are christians I think ur taking this whole church thing too far. U are taking something very simple and making it very complicated Jesus came and taught the TRUTH. in this modern day there are many different religions who all contradict each other. Only one of them can be telling the truth. So which one is it ? Its the one that jesus christ established as opposed to the one that man established. So which one did jesus christ establish then ? Please dont say christianity. Cos even christians contradict each other cos theres so many sects of christianity (jehovis witnesses being one of them) Jesus christ established his church. What did this church have. It had : 1) the truth 2) authority from god So which church today has the truth and priesthood authority ? Only one of them can have it
That’s a retarded assertion on several levels. LoL. Because there are a lot of false gods, we should reject the one true God? What’s 2+2? Every number that’s not four is incorrect. With an infinite number of wrong answers, we should just deny 4 as well, right? SmH. That’s ineffective argumentation and you’re definitely not consistent with that standard.
@@blacksuburban2410 ooooh mathematical straw-man huh…you really tore him up buddy :) you gave no levels, I gave no arguments so I’m unaware of how I have an ineffective one…
Religious debates are as much about scriptural interpretation as they are about anything. I didn’t think 2 on 1 wasn’t fair, but he agreed. Kwaku, IMO, wasn’t prepared. But I get why Jeff brought James White on, Jeff can’t come close to James on the epic resource James is. Although I’ve read where James has incriminated himself on sola scriptoria. I guess he can’t pretend to be right all the time by flooding his combatants with massive volumes of needless information and constant side-tracking. I’d love to se Jeff talk to a couple more suitable opponents by himself with at least one of them being at least as well versed as James White.

Awesome!
I just now commented on Kwaku's youtube channel and interacted with some other comments. Found out Kwaku doesnt want this video public....WHY? He permanently banned me from his channel because I commented with the link of this video and other comments telling others to check out Apologia's response, but he banned me in a way that hides my comments from others. I can still comment on his video BUT, no one can see my comments except for myself when logged into my channel. How I found out about this is that I also have a second channel. I logged into that channel to check out my notifications and happened to go back to the video I commented on Kwaku's channel. Thats when i noticed my comments did not appear in the comments section. I logged back into my other channel and there it was! Which means Kwaku is hiding users who's comments disagree with his videos. I'm sure he did not ban you because he knows you will call him out publicly if he were to hide your comments on his videos. Just a heads up if anyone decided to comment on his videos. Keep up the good work!
FYI, here is my second channel. So the fact that I can comment under my own comment from another channel proves I have not been banned from Apologia, but I cannot do this under Kwaku's youtube channel because he has hidden both of my channels from interaction on his videos.
He doesn’t want to learn, at this point, it’s throwing our pearls to swine.
Posting links blocks your comments out too sometimes.
But yeah, I’ve been banned. He allows Mormon trolls like Johnny Phoenix to run rampantly.
far easier to suppress the truth than accept it.
It’s true. He blocked my comments even though it didn’t violate guidelines. But it just speaks more about his character and shows his lack of tolerance. My question was if they support oppression of people. And I gave the example of Palestinian and Israelis both which are oppress. And that got me banned.
I think Proverbs 18:2 sums up the situation with Kwaku rather succinctly:
"A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion."
Spot on!
I'm often guilty of this, too.
@@Mattchew2232 , we all have a flesh; Believers have The SPIRIT Of HOLINESS. Are Ya livin in Repentance and Faith, by GOD'S Great Grace?
@@Chirhopher Yes, sir!
Martin England it doesn’t? I’m honestly wondering . So if you accept Jesus Christ you could never repent for your sins and go on living wrong without repenting? I don’t think the lord wants it that way. I was under the impression that you had to accept Jesus and repent for your sins and acknowledge them and try and do better .
"Your arguments are poor. And the reason that they're poor is that you're not grounded in the word of the living God. You're not getting your position from Scripture. You've gotten your arguments from culture." -Jeff Durbin (1:18:25)
Very powerful statement. Especially in the context it was said (around 1:12:27). It's a hard word. Pray that God would soften Kwaku's heart to receive this correction and ultimately find rest for his soul in the one true Jesus.
“I feel” is used too much in his statements which emphasizes pure opinion... not unadulterated, hard facts.
Ok but what about the theological standpoints
Fyi, the "I feel"s are code for God is telling me, showing me, guiding me, etc. They believe very strongly in personal revelation through their feelings.
@NY UK dont be ridiculous all human beings use the word like 😭😭😭
Amen. That word/expression is used far to much.
I was so relieved when you guys admitted to getting the date wrong on the article.
That was the ONLY thing of substance that I found in his videos.
I love the honesty and integrity you guys have shown with these accusations.
Yeah, it was really refreshing to see them admit that. I wanted to hear the truthful end of that issue.
Ive lost count to how many times I’ve listened and watched that debate.
We should send it to his elders, ward cleaver, and the 12.
Personal attacks happen when a person can't stand within their own arguments. When Kwaku starts to see his position falter, he goes the personal attack route. Sad. Yes to Proverbs 18:2.
You see a lot of these personal attacks when debating with atheists too. My personal experience.
Anything regarding Apologia and Kwaku is a treat. God bless Jeff, Dr White, and the crew
Good work you guys. My family members are Mormon and this “attitude” is prevalent in the culture and very sad to be on the receiving end of.
Ps. I’ve wanted to meet you Jeff when I lived in Chandler AZ but never got the opportunity. I was saved through your ministry and for that I pray God continues to lift up your ministry. I love you guys :’) Godbless you

He gets it from scripture. That’s where all Bible believers get our doctrine: “For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.”
Romans 10:10 ESV

“For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
Romans 10:10 KJV

“giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”

@Reasonable BB oh please stop your trolling and go back to your mama's basement
I am so glad you made this video. I watched both his videos and wanted to know you all's side of the story. Thank you, Apologia Studios.
I love how Jeff talks to him like a disappointed father about lying and being dishonest lol
borrowed tomb isn’t that what the entire video is about?
@borrowed tomb: Didn't you watched the video? Or did you just decide to post without observing and listening. Perfect example of willful ignorance. Jeff just destroyed Kwaku's lies.
He clearly posted without watching.
I am not surprised he lied about what happened. He was being so shady during the conversation that it made me so uneasy.
I'm sorry this situation happened. I know you are clarifying and explaining the truth to the audience but trust that vengeance belongs to God. Even though Kwaku and others will slander you and bear false witness about you, Jesus Christ has saved you and the truth will prevail.
Please turn the music off brother 😂
Truth lol
Just turn it down a little bit so you don’t have to yell over it. I like the chill music but it’s just a little too loud
The music is perfect brah, more of that 😂🙌
The lows Kwaku is hitting here is honestly sad. Much respect for Jeff for keeping a level head and patience during this outright slander.
Daniel Omitted funny how each channel has their own view. I’m sure from his followers they would disagree. I’m not saying you’re wrong. It’s just funny how two people can watch the same thing and get a different message
Black Dahlia It is the weight of the evidence. Kwaku provides a shady website that says Jeff has 11 arrest records. Anyone with reason and logic would know not to rely upon the top hit in a Google search to ascertain any type of truth. Kwaku provides Jackson as a “witness” yet Jackson doesn’t read any of the direct email correspondents with Apologia church, he just summarizes. Also, there is video evidence of how kind Dr. White was to Jackson outside the Mesa Temple. Apologia provided the Biblical requirement of two or three lines of witness and Kwaku was found wanting. It’s a shame. The debate is available to watch anytime and Kwaku even states in the video that “Dr. White is a charitable man” now he sits in mockery and uses condescending voices that would make Steven Anderson blush with embarrassment.
Good summary, John
This is un believable of Kweku I watched the show Dr white and Pastor Jeff were nice not only did Dr White gave kweku beautiful leather-bound bible specially made for Kweku . And this is how you repay them? Be encouraged Apologia we love you guys and we are benefiting from this Ministry. Kweku find it in your heart to apologize these are good folks.
I know right? They were so nice to him and went out of their way to make sure he'd have everything he needed -- flights, a ride from the airport, a nice hotel, money for meals, various books and this is how he turns around and treats them? Ungrateful would be an understatement. I know a few other adjectives I'd like to use but I'm not going to let my flesh get the better of me...
And just so people know: getting a bible professionally re-bound is not cheap. That gift would've cost the ministry a few hundred dollars alone.
Been following you for a while Jeff, love what you do and love how everything is done through the word of god. Was just watching Kyuku responses and I’m very disappointed in the straight out lies and personal attacks he did on you and James.very very ungodly I think just his video alone shows quite easily that he is following a different god. God bless you guys ,your all doing an outstanding job.
Kuaku lives in his own world and has fashioned a God in his likeness. He has become like his idol. Deaf, mute, blind.
Except that I wouldn't capitalize the "G" in that context. Yes, he thinks he will become a god. This is in violation of the 1st commandment: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me."
All gods are made in the likeness of man.
@@BlGGESTBROTHER are you sarcastic?
@@all4jesus594 Whether mhotl's comment was intended as an atheistic attack on deism in general, or not, the statement "All (lowercase g) gods are made in the likeness of man" is a very true statement. All gods are made in the likeness of man. Only the true and living God is unique and holy in his nature.
I totally agree. I tried to have a convo with him on twitter DM but.. it just seemed like throwing pearls to swine..
Awww big CONGRATULATIONS JoY!!!! God bless you ❤️

Amen
Background music slightly distracting
I love Apologia Studios but two it is rather annoying and not really needed either I don't think
Totally. Mixed way too high. I can’t pay attention to what’s being said because it feels like its playing out a section or something.
Jacob Maier: No...It's VERY distracting.
Was waiting for this. 👀.
If you are dealing with someone who is already up to his neck in deception, did you really think you would
come away feeling good?
No, with people in cults you often come away feeling almost violated, and misrepresented.
They will swear that day is night if it suits their purpose. In the end it degenerates into " he said, she said."
This is to distract from any issues of substance.
The way forward is to detach from them, just as you would detach from someone with an addiction,
in order to protect yourself.
Kwaku is not interested in truth. Until he is you are wasting your time on him.
Hello I enjoy your shows.i watched that debate and enjoyed it and felt that you gave a good account of Christian theology. I am in the middle and not a calvinist as I also hold to some Wesleyan theology on somethings. But I appreciate your content and it's every good stuff.
May God bless you all
Kwaku's attack on Pastor Durbin's stance on abortion made me ask myself, "how many abortions did Kwaku prevent? How many families did kwaku influence to NOT KILL."
None
Next, Kwaku will start condemning Paul for having been a murderer...
It's really pathetic and I really feel sorry that you guys had to deal with that millenialesque childish cry baby man-child character but I also understand that you had to put away his false claims (backed by what the Scripture teaches).
You guys were respectful and kind during the entire duration of the debate with this young man. I commend you for your behavior. Excellent work men.
What is this music? lol I feel pretty cool that I recognize a Lakey Inspired track when I hear it 🙌🏽💯
That young man demonstrated in the debate and his videos after, the mindset and arrogance of most LDS i have met in my 60 yrs.also mormon doctrine says murderers cannot go to heaven,unforgivable sin yet he calls out Gods stance on murder and mocks Jeff and dr.white holding to scripture.hippocrite,arrogant,prideful,full of himself.yup,he is a Mormon
cynthia Erickson perfectly stated. It’s easy to act like that when you are going to be a God one day.
Kwaku did misrepresent how he was treated on Apologia Radio. I watched that entire episode myself and was surprised to hear Kwaku's later remarks regarding both James White and Jeff Durbin. However, I cannot say I am really that surprised by his "turn about" either. By his own testimony, Kwaku admitted on the show that he was raised as something of a "confused" non-denominational youth without a grounding in Scripture, Theology, or Church History. Without pursuing any higher biblical education (college or seminary), he became doubtful of the historic Christian faith. At some point he encountered the LDS Church and seems to have had some kind of "personal conversion" to the false religion of Mormonism. The fact is that Kwaku did a very messy job of defending the polytheism of his religion because he lacks an understanding of the discipline of biblical studies and theology. So I think after he did the program he felt that he needed to portray himself as the victim of these "mean Calvinists." It does show a lack of personal integrity on Kwaku's part. Pray for him. He remains a very lost and deceived soul. Amen.
I saw that debate live
The moment when Dr James White pointed out that bringing up polytheistic pagans doesnt refute monotheism in the bible was the final nail in the coffin. It was great to see and an awesome moment. No anger at all
Former Mormon?
@@mr400meter
They need to leave their luciferian cult.
Amen.
I would ask everyone take a step back and just let it go. Whether one is on the offensive or defensive when it comes to this incident, it seems that this divide only grows between you and Kwaku. I love your show and the ministry you represent. Thank you for sharing the love of God and love of the people you come into contact with.
New York to UK I completely disagree. Which is fine. No love is lost for anyone here.
New York to UK Hey, I should not have tossed your viewpoint aside. I was flippant in my response. Hope you are doing ok.
GREAT VID. THANK YOU JEFF.....The Mormon cult falls on the lack of archeological! evidence alone ..........
Or the Book of Abraham, or the peep stone, or the many anachronisms I. The BOM, or the native American DNA….
as often happens, Kwaku got salty over biblical truths refuting his dodgy position, and so he went down the route of slander and attacking peoples' character. his mormon theology failed, so all he had was atheist Democratic arguments pertaining to abortion etc. he'll be a full-blown atheist soon enough; you can tell.
Like previous comments have said, I don’t completely agree with Calvinism, but I totally sympathize and like your respect as well as your truth telling of kwaku. I have had friends that are Mormons and they unfortunately have acted similarly. They claimed I was against who they were and I was disrespecting them when I was merely saying that their theology doesn’t hold truth. However, they are very good people, but they do have a false sense of theology.
Kwaku is an extremely dishonest and disingenuous person. He bans anyone (including myself) from his comment section for simply disagreeing and/or refuting him. He also heavily edits his comments as well. For instance, he pinned a comment from a fellow Mormon and then made it so nobody could refute the comment itself. This explains why his comment section looks like one big Mormon echo-chamber. It didn't occur organically, he deliberately orchestrated it to make it appear that way.
All I did was point out the fact that he's had numerous opportunities to understand the orthodox Christian view of the trinity, even to the point where the information has been practically spoonfed to him, yet he continues to misrepresent it. That's literally all I said. No abuse, vulgar language or personal attacks on his character, nothing. This along with everything he said about James White and Jeff just validates my initial point in this post. Shame on you, Kwaku.
That echo chamber is painful to be in.
He’s blocked me from his comment section as well.
Totally agree. It’s deceptive to his audience he’s appealing to. He knows what he is doing.
Pot kettle blak. Jeff dourbin deletes all of my comments about the apostacy
This comment looks safe
@@mr400meter 1) its only been up 37 minutes so he hasnt had chance to see it 2) its 1am in the morning so he's probably asleep 3) this comment is not about the apostacy. I have not discussed the apostacy i have simply mentioned the word. When i discuss apostacy it makes jeff durbin look bad cos he has no answer to it. Hence he deletes any discussion about apostacy. He has literally done it over 2 dozen times to me

Thanks to The Ninja, the Bear and the Girl for responding in such a firm, forthright and genuine way to that young man. Me thinks he doth protest too much. Perhaps he is under a great deal of conviction by the Holy Spirit to repent and be saved on account of your kindness AND your honest, loving, firm rebuke. Be blessed my brothers and sister. Coram Deo!
By the way Kweku i will be happy to get that bible from you Incase you are thinking otherwise 🤷♀️just saying
I'm so jealous that they gave him all that free stuff! I had to buy Dr. White's books!
And yeah, ask him if you can have it!
*gets popcorn*
When Mormons can't defend their faith they resort to slander its always with them.
Thats because they are in the flesh. They are slaves to their sin. We have to reach these people.
I'd love to see you release the audio in podcast format. I can't watch video while driving around!
Is there any reason why your shows don’t go on apple podcast anymore?
I was wondering that too.....
I had watched Kwaku's response before this came out, just due to curiosity and he was very dishonest indeed, said things that weren't even true if you actually watch the debate itself.
Huy DO agreed. I did the same
Spot on!
kwaku is doing more damage to the Mormon cult than any of their own published mormon cult leaders could ever do.
@@choicemeatrandy6572 ahahaha right :)
Oddly enough, in the Apologia debate with Kwaku.. At one point Kwaku turns to Durbin and says something along the lines of “you are so humble. You’ve just sat here and let Dr. White and I go back and forth without jumping in.” So clearly, he wasn’t expecting Durbin to be a moderator.
😑 And none of the questions asked of him were actually answered. He was trying to win an argument (and had no foundation) to build it on.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Kwaku is just a puppet to the Mormon church and he is an ass clown.
Poor Kwako, wish Jeff could go on the Three Mormon's show.
Music is annoying, sorry
Was there any phone calls, it seems there is a lot of contact missing.
Anyone know where the first line of their intro is from? I've searched it and cannot find out what it's from!
It’s a clip from a Dr. Walter Martin talk. Not sure which one!
“The Baptism of Boldness” by Walter Martin. I only know because I wondered about it once too ;p
Vincent Pena dope! Walter Martin is surely rejoicing in Heaven as we speak. That man had such a heart for Jesus.
Begging you to stop the music!
I have spoken to kwaku on TH-cam before.. I’m talking 2 years ago roughly. I’d hoped he would run across and speak to Jeff Durbin and Dr white. God is good because it happened. Kwaku is a smart mouthed kid.., and got the information he firmly needed. I’m not LDS. In fact my heart hurts for these folk. I’m born again and follow Jesus of the Bible.
Kwaku has since theologically had a his rear end handed to him by Sam Shamoun & Vocab Malone. I don’t why he’s desperate to be publicly embarrassed.
I just *tried watching Kwaku’s response to this video and boy it was painful . He is an odd dude.
Kwaku responded to this video?! Sesh, talk about beating a dead horse.
hey apologia / the dividing line, is it possible to put time stamps in the descriptions? Since alot of the videos cover a few topics sometimes its nice to jump to one topic.
Wait is kwaku a LDS liberal? That’s the most oxymoronic thing in existence
Brilliant!
55:43 The only thing that i saw that even implied that the debate was "1 on 1" was James at the beginning saying that Jeff was "In charge"; however, that could just be a reference to the Show being Jeff's. idk Kwaku is still being pretty bold in all his claims it seems.
love you guys. Background music super annoying.
Hey i just wanted to say the music takes away from what is being said, yeh it might add to the mood but unnecessary or could be lower in volume maybe. Want to hear what your saying not listen to the music. Was a lot better once the music stopped.
Wait....I just had to pause to write this..
He really was talking about Zac??
When I heard him say that, I actually thought he was mistaken and probably meant pastor Luke!
Especially when he imitated the body language. (Luke the bear lol)
I don’t know Zac personally, only from the videos.. But I just knew there was no way he was talking about him!
Wow so he actually was referring to Zac when he said that??
That’s crazy!
Gentleman Broncos my mother bought me randomly and I was ungrateful. Watched it and loved it. Felt bad for being a brat
I know I'm 3 weeks late but do you think maybe Kwaku's complete 180 on events might be down to pressure from his church? He seems to be so dishonest and far from the guy who was talking via your emails/msgs that it feels very much that he has been persuaded. Maybe some of his church members didn't like their representation despite it being clear it was his views?
At the same time, being totally honest I don't know why but the fact this has come out like this doesn't surprise me too much. During the conversation Kwaku was acting a little disrespectful and far from humble at times and I saw Dr. White pick up on it - it wasn't that he got angry but he clearly was taken aback by Kwaku's lack of respect and it did change the level of his patience with him. It wasn't anything extreme but I've never seen Dr. White like that and he's obviously encountered much opposition in discussion so it wasn't the content but just Kwaku's manner at times.
I disagree with Jeff on his Calvinism, but he certainly comes across of LOVING, REASONABLE and WILLING TO LISTEN. I commend Jeff for the dignity with which he's handled this situation with Kwaku.
I think its fair to say many also disagree with the errors of King James Onlyism. But you are correct, sir; about Jeff. This is why I enjoy Jeff's witnessing to Mormons. This does not mean I agree with Calvinism. But at least he's a Biblical Trinitarian, like myself. He is still a brother in Christ.
I disagree with you Kristi Smith or Han (I know Han is not your real name) on issues of Calvinism (we had very cordial emails btw), but I LOVE your videos dealing with Mormonism in light of your past time as a Mormon. Guys, go check this channel out for solid Mormon videos!
You mean lying about what he was going to do? He said he would act as a moderator, but he constantly jumped into the debate and sided with "Dr." White. That's not even open to interpretation, that's blatant in the video.
@@loqutor Can you cite for me where he actually said that?
@@mr400meter In the agreement they made before the debate began. Kwaku would never have agreed to a two-on-one debate, especially not with such rude opponents who constantly interrupt and misrepresent what he believes.
Awesome man!
Ray Comfort used this in one of his videos, that's where I saw it first :O
More like quack-O 🤦🏽♀️

Where can I find the links to Kwaku’s videos? Did a search and couldn’t find them.

Their oldest son is preparing to leave for his "mission" trip. I've tagged them in several videos. I believe they could make a difference in many ways if they would accept truth.
Is there such a thing as a calvinist that believes they are predestined to hell?
1:15:00 these are some GREAT arguments against abortion 💪🏼
Great show. Wondering why you don't talk much on his comments about James Whites seminary?
Man, wow, you guys did a fantastic job of shutting the door on this Kookoo who apparently lied to his own audience. Pray that your generosity to cover his trip, you genuineness to kindly tell him that he was wrong and prove it by his own word, and the love you guys have shown even in the midst of being so utterly disrespected, that he hopefully comes around to see that you guys have been these things, and repents to see the true love that comes from true Christianity. Brilliant job guys

You have to be super careful with the "2-3 witnesses" rule when an accusation is made against an Elder, otherwise you end up with a mess like the Jehovah's Witnesses.
Some left CHRISTIANITY, THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS, due to rebellious & lack of knowledge.
Great video!!! The music was distracting though
This misrepresentation of Christianity reminds me of the writings of the Apostle Paul in 2 Timothy 4:3-4 - "For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, will multiply teachers for themselves because they have an itch to hear what they want to hear. They will turn away from hearing the truth and will turn aside to myths. "
Where Do You See This Action Being Displayed?
1 Peter 3:15-16
[15] but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, [16] having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.
Kwaku’s just a dishonest narcissist accuser. 👎🤷♂️
Todays wtf? is from Proverbs 26

5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he feel wise in his own conceit.

18:15 I can't believe they just let her spin like that. She was going round faster than the helicopter blades.😷
I can't imagine being a believer in a religion from the mouth of a 14 year old boy who later couldn't keep himself out of jail (repeatedly) through his own incorrugible nature...
The problem with mainstream religions is that everyone of them think that they are right, especially with the Christian mainstream religion where you have many different divisions amongst its faith now. I don't know how it got that way, but i'd imagine that it wasn't Jesus's vision to have his name being represented in this manner and have all this infighting take place for centuries on who is more right.
Whom the Lord loves he chasens -which tells you that there are some he does not love. Hebrews 12: 6 .-oh yes don't forget Jacob and Esau.
Hello my beloved brothers and sisters in Christ at apologia. I love you guys I love your show I love the expository preaching that goes on and the fighting for the faith that you guys deliver Through apologetics and End abortion now And all the ministry that you do.
Thank you so much. I want to make a comment about the viral video of the helicopter rescue of the 74-year-old hiker woman. I cannot say that I wasn’t laughing with you Guys as well, ( in truth I was ) while watching “ your “ live stream recorded video. However this was not the first time I’ve seen that video. The first time I saw it was by way of Ray comfort living waters. I have posted the link below for you to check out. Obviously the feeling and the emotion that well up while watching the video through his link versus yours is quite different.
I just wanted to express to you that I think perhaps with the video cameras rolling to capture your reactions, there may been a lack of sensitivity. Feel me on this. I know you didn’t pre-plan this out. I know your reactions were only genuine. I just want to encourage you to maybe experience it through that woman’s pure Terror and shock that she must of experienced while that was happening. I sincerely doubt any of us have experienced spinning at that velocity. I can only imagine what it must’ve been like for someone of her age to trust in the helicopter, and to trust in the line, and to trust in the paramedics that were there at her aid and yet also my hope is that she was trusting in God to deliver her through all of that.
Ray comfort captured it really well in his noting that feeling of empathy you really feel for that woman. Even imagining yourself in her place.
I hope this In no way was a rebuke to you guys. For that was not my intention. But Merely giving voice to another side of the story that may have not been portrayed or considered as well.
Once again I really appreciate all that you guys put out there and all that you are doing. Keep up the great work my brothers and sisters in Christ. I love you guys.

There is a mormon missionary that goes to our house they are good thats why my father let them come in and share about their gospel. At first its okay they say that because of joseph smith the words of god's is restored and I wasn't totally aware of that thinking how bad humanity is and as they come and go I learn new things and saying that we are saved through the atonement of christ and I totally agreed that is my basic knowledge about God. Mormons are really good their intentions is good. One time they shared something about pre-existence and they say we already exist in a spirit realm before we are born and they say jesus christ is our brother and I said okay and then after we are spiritual siblings and satan also is our spiritual siblings and make my fundamental knowledge wrong and made me confused. And because I read again the bible I already done understanding bible through clips and animations but also reading but more on watching animation. They are so good and there's one time that I was talking about someone who told me that mormons believe that they will be god someday and I told them its not right ? Asking them and I ask them like laughing expecting that they would agree to what I've said. Because of that it triggers me to read the bible again.
Isaiah 43:10
John 1
1 John 5:7
Titus 3:5
John 1:18
Galatians 1:6-9
Ecclesiastes 9:5
Ephesians 2:8-9
Matthew 24:35
This verses is enough to say what is god and what kind of god he is.
His words is not restored for it did not come to pass and if they say that it wasn't translated correctly then where is it?
There is a distinction between creator and creation we will never be god someday for god exist from eternity to eternity. I don't want them to be offended because they have good intentions and yet they are mormons because they are born as mormon and dont have knowledge about the bible and saying that bible wasnt all true. I want to helo this mormon missionary they can't answer my questions yes it is true that not all can be answered but saying that the book of mormon is not contradictory to the bible. They believed in the bible and the book of mormon claimed that it was the most accurate above the earth. My date or what they goal was june 22 2019 but I tell them I'm not ready and still they continued to be here for me it is okay I want to help them I always attend their church everysunday and all of them are friendly and approachable. Please give me some advice
Maybe you could ask if they would study the new testament with you. You could show them those verses and help them see Jesus' gospel is one of grace not works and that there is assurance of salvation by believing in Christ alone.
I told them that I will read the book of mormon if they will also read the new testament and they agree and they told me they will also share their insights. I hope that the words will speak to them. Thank You!
@@iangienomillar8093 that's great!! I pray too that through the words of the New Testament the Holy Spirit will reveal God's grace and forgiveness of sin through faith in the true Jesus Christ!!

Which do you say it is and why? And why do you say only one church can be the true church of Christ? How do you define church? Christian denominations that may vary on secondary issues but all hold the same canon and profess the same core doctrines can very much be "one church". Your question seems to imply that you believe differently (I apologize if I am misinterpreting your question), and if so why do you believe differently?
Most Christians from a wide variety of church traditions that I lnow recognize they may not have 100% correct doctrine but are as close as they can with their current understanding.
This whole question turns on how you define church. So, as you ask that question, what definition of "church" are you using?

By church im obviously NOT talking about an actual physical building. Christ did not come to earth and literally build a church with bricks and morter
The bibles says that christ came to earth and established his church. Therefore if u know ur bible then u know wot that means. U dont need me to explain it or to define the word church. U already know wot it means. I mean the same as the bible when i say church
Jehovis witnesses are christians. However who they actually beleive jehova is is completely different to who other christians beleive he is. Thats a fundamental difference
Thats wot im talking about. You have all these different churches, most of them christians who all read the same bible, who are all in conflict with each other and all contradict each other. Only one of them can be right
There are over 100 sects of christianity. How can that be ? There should only be one. U say that there are only slight differerences between them but i disagree. Theres fundamental differences. And even if there was only slight differences that wouldnt cut it with me. There shouldnt be ANY differences
If christ came and established his church then theres no need for man to make even the slightest change to it

Which do i say it is and why ? I say its the church of jesus christ of latter day saints
Why ? 1) because what they say about the apostacy makes perfect sense. And nobody has ever even come close to proving to me that the apostacy never happend 2) revelation
@@oscarduke639 Oscar Duke Oscar Duke this is exactly why I asked you to define church. I disagree wholeheartedly that Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians, nor is it a Christian church.
If you note, I said denominations that agree on the same core doctrines and have the same canon - the same set of books and documents they consider holy scripture. In the case of the Christian church, it is the series of books known commonly as the Old Testament and New Testament.
Since you refuse to define your term church, I can only reply that you assume anyone who says they are a Christian is, and that is a definition I simply disagree with at a fundamental level - not just for the terms "church" or "Christian" but for just about label or distinguishing marker. Labels are only useful if they have a criteria to indicate what is within and without the group. That is why I ask for a definition of church.
I do know what I believe the Bible means by Christ establishing his church, but I certainly don't know what you believe it means, which is why I ask.
For the record, my definition is loosely something like: "church" can mean multiple things, from local congregations, specific denominations, as well as the global assembly/community of Christian believers either alive now or throughout history. This assembly is distinguished by a common belief in basic Christian tenets including the Trinity, the salvific purpose of Jesus' death and resurrection, that this salvation is received by the believer by faith in Jesus as savior alone, the Bible (Old and New Testaments) alone are God's inspired word to the world concerning salvation and God's plan throughout history, that the salvation of a believer leads to eternal life, Jesus will return to Earth to usher in the new creation. There may be other doctrines I might consider core, but hopefully this list gives you an idea of what I mean.
With that in mind, in one way there are many churches - local congregations and different denominations - that actually composes THE church - the global assembly of believers throughout history. In that way, there may be many disagreements about certain interpretations and ideas, but they remain the same in the core beliefs. Those who step outside of those beliefs do not fall inside the Christian church. This is certainly a bit difficult because non-believers can be quite active in a local congregation or within a denomination. Which is why, also, I asked what definition you were using.

Jehovis witnesses beleive in jesus christ therefore they are christians
I think ur taking this whole church thing too far. U are taking something very simple and making it very complicated
Jesus came and taught the TRUTH. in this modern day there are many different religions who all contradict each other. Only one of them can be telling the truth. So which one is it ? Its the one that jesus christ established as opposed to the one that man established. So which one did jesus christ establish then ?
Please dont say christianity. Cos even christians contradict each other cos theres so many sects of christianity (jehovis witnesses being one of them)
Jesus christ established his church. What did this church have. It had :
1) the truth
2) authority from god
So which church today has the truth and priesthood authority ? Only one of them can have it
Subbed because so fascinating :) just one more god to refuse brothers and sisters, then you can step out of and above religion altogether.
That’s a retarded assertion on several levels. LoL. Because there are a lot of false gods, we should reject the one true God? What’s 2+2? Every number that’s not four is incorrect. With an infinite number of wrong answers, we should just deny 4 as well, right? SmH. That’s ineffective argumentation and you’re definitely not consistent with that standard.
@@blacksuburban2410 ooooh mathematical straw-man huh…you really tore him up buddy :) you gave no levels, I gave no arguments so I’m unaware of how I have an ineffective one…
Religious debates are as much about scriptural interpretation as they are about anything. I didn’t think 2 on 1 wasn’t fair, but he agreed. Kwaku, IMO, wasn’t prepared. But I get why Jeff brought James White on, Jeff can’t come close to James on the epic resource James is. Although I’ve read where James has incriminated himself on sola scriptoria. I guess he can’t pretend to be right all the time by flooding his combatants with massive volumes of needless information and constant side-tracking. I’d love to se Jeff talk to a couple more suitable opponents by himself with at least one of them being at least as well versed as James White.
I’ve never heard Jeff laugh that hard! That poor woman lol! 😂
Calvinists who lose arguments always claim their opponents don't understand Calvinism.
Jeff was spot on here
