Even being a member my whole life, there’s still a lot of questions I have about the church and sometimes too embarrassed to ask cause it’s stuff I learned when I was 5, and that’s why I love these videos cause they help remind me of the stuff I’ve learned but didn’t fully understand and put it in a nice straightforward video!
I know the feeling. I'm also a long time member. I encourage you to find a good friend who will listen to your questions and not judge you because "you're supposed to know". That is one of the greatest blessings of a true friend. In the end, people may answer your questions but the right answer will always come with a confirmation from the Holy Spirit.
The Atonement happened on the cross not in the garden: we are not saved after everything that we can do. Grace alone is the cause of salvation that leads to good works. Its not Grace if it only makes up a short fall after everything that you can do ! Totally different Gospel! It's counterfeit!
Justice is necessary for the coexistence of each individual in the same sphere of influence, mercy is necessary for every imperfect individual to be included in that same place. One without the other would mean 1. separation, with the misery of loneliness, or 2. Togetherness, but with misery of injustice. With God's plan we can have the best option: the happiness of Justice and the joy of Togetherness.
From the hymn "How great the wisdom and the love" : How great, how glorious, how complete Redemption’s grand design, Where justice, love, and mercy meet In harmony divine!
Great video! We are so blessed to have a Great Mediator, who is Jesus Christ! He has already paid the price for our sins, so that after we chose to violate the law of Justice, we can repent, and become clean again. It is very comforting to know that our Savior Jesus Christ has his arms outstretched in great love for each of us, and that we can make it back into the presence of our loving Father in Heaven!
Breaking laws of the government are only punished by the government when a person is caught and is found guilty. God knows all of the laws that we break, (His and the government's laws) whether we are caught or not.
Justice is the notion that things should be a certain way rather than other ways. Mercy is allowing temporary deviations from the way of justice with the expectation that the way will be restored. That restoration is made possible through the Atonement of Jesus Christ - otherwise, any deviations would be permanent.
Can I just add a little thought here? It seems this video is talking about transgression, which is disobedience to God's laws -or not keeping them fully. Sin rather is turning away from God. Jesus never forgot his Father in all things, therefore he was sinless. He himself had to learn line upon line, so his perfection was a result of him being holy -he always had the holy spirit with him. Also, he was pure in body not being mixed with the world. He sacrificed himself because it was his Father's will so that essentially there was a way for transgressers and sinners to return to our Father. Babies and children are perfect. They cannot transgress or sin because they do not turn away from their father and they are without law, not knowing the law or being able yet to make a thought through choice, therefore they automatically go back to heaven with death. Saints also can be perfect as their father when they keep his commandment to be baptized as Christ was and then keep with them the Holy Ghost. When we do something that makes the Holy Ghost leave, we then have need to turn back to God through repentance (prayer and asking for forgiveness, then trying to do better). It is his saints that are covered through the atonement. He made it possible for all to receive this blessing, but out of choice many will choose not to and some will choose to. Those who do not choose repentance will have to answer the law by themselves. So, I suppose the essential question is why are we here then if we just go around sinning? Earth life is here as a simulator for real life. Heaven is real life, but without learning how to control our bodies or what life is like without our father, we would not be able to choose him for ourselves or we would live forever in a state that is not controllable. He wants us to be full of truth, love and light and it is only being away from him that we can understand consequence to wrong action or right action. Eventually we will see for ourselves whether or not we can be in his presence or just be happy living some other law. Hopefully that answers some questions.
brettandstaci If I may just add one thing: While I understand what you mean when you say “the saints are covered by the atonement”, the atonement was given to all people. Every person ever born will be able to return to the Father, whether good or evil. I guess the atonement is much more inclusive when we think about it. However, like you said, to accept all of what the atonement offers and live with God we must follow the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and become the saints of God.
No you have it wrong. Jesus made no mistake, no transgression, had no disobedience. Even if someone remembers The Father in all things, if you transgress or, that is to say, disobey a commandment, then you’ve sinned.
Nobody becomes perfect keeping the law ! That's why Jesus died on the cross and it's there that the Atonement happened. This was done so you have the chance to repent and be forgiven by God's Grace. You're Faith in Christ is what saves you : not the imperfect commandment keeping!
@@davidjanbaz7728 Again, please refer to the newer comment chains where I've given some explanation to help you out. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ don't believe that we become perfect by keeping the law at all; refer to 2 Nephi 25 to understand.

God's Justice is always and God's Mercy is always. God protects his kingdom with Justice. If you don't follow the law of love you fall out of grace, but since God is a God of unconditional love for all his children including sinners God protects the sinner when sinning, with levels of unconsciousness, falling deeper and deeper into ignorance, which reduces their spiritual power and at the same time saves them from self-destruction. By similar means God protects the innocent. In order to get closer to God one enters into consciousness obeying his law of love, gaining in spiritual power with knowledge of right and wrong. The great mystery is that God protects the sinner because sinners are actually trying to love so much but don't know how to do it. But, they are trying more than most. This is why we should love our enemies because love is what they are desperately seeking, in darkness; this is all they want. This is why God can be just and merciful at the same time. God's justice protects his kingdom, while God's mercy loves unconditionally all his children. The perfect plan indeed.
i believe in good , and i am merciful , but i meted so many bad people in my life, and i forgave them for being bad, but i can't tolerate them, love them, see them, speek to them, i dislove them, they are blind on the things they do, spoke, and see, God doesnt understand one of the thing that in world are to many bad evil people and good people is in minority surrounded by them
God does understand. Jesus Christ Himself was abused and put to death unjustly, but He has risen above it. God knows the struggles you face and He wants to give you strength also.
Serious question how does the grace of God play into this? Men are saved by grace right? Mercy seems to be conditional that you repent of mistakes but with grace you are saved because Christ already paid the price of death for you.
Optulent the way I understand it is that Grace is the power of Christ to exercise mercy and to forgive. That Grace is always available to those that seek it through repentance. There are no requirements to access Grace; it’s entirely free. What requires effort is using that free Grace to clean ourselves from sin. Perfection isn’t required, just that we try our best! Awesome question by the way!
One important thing to remember; God is good, and we are not. You and me are wretches before a holy God dead set on crushing sin. God could have destroyed adam and eve, but it was His plan , that was a Graceful gospel(EVENGELION; good news) that knowing Christ and confessing his son as savior and lord. He is the first and the last and through him everything was.
bbarrett726 because justice and mercy don’t work together. The person demanding justice, so that laws have meaning, needs payment. Mercy demands forgiveness of that payment. One robs the other. They don’t work together. But if a mediator can come in between, the creditor (God), received payment for violated law, and we receive mercy because we don’t have the means to pay it. Christ is the mediator, he paid for all sins, something we aren’t able to do. God is paid, which keeps his laws potent (justice). We get second chances (mercy). And Christ is our savior, who makes it all work.
@@chaywarburton3488 Mercy is unmerited Favor: which means you cannot earn it by obeying the commandments! God gives it to you or he doesn't: based on you believing in His Atonement on the cross not in the garden! Grace comes before obedience to good works not after as mormons teach !
@@davidjanbaz7728 An infinitely important part of the Atonement of Christ happened in the Garden of Gethsemane. The grace of Christ is always available to us; it sounds like you have misunderstood the teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ. Feel free to learn about the Church at ComeUntoChrist.org or ChurchOfJesusChrist.org.
Nice video, but i still don't got it, how is god just if he punished someone for the sin of others. I guess, i don't see a judge punish someone else because i stole someone's car, or raped someone's daughter. isn't more just for me to be punished for the sins i did?
Hi Gamal - Fortunately for all of us, Jesus Christ is our Redeemer, Intermediary, and Final Judge; no one else can judge us, and we are commanded not to judge others. The Savior alone knows and loves us perfectly. Through the scriptures, modern prophets, and personal revelation, He invites us to come unto Him and center our lives on His teachings. You or others interested can learn how we can find greater peace and happiness by following the Savior here: www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2006/10/the-atonement-can-secure-your-peace-and-happiness?lang=eng
@@churchofjesuschrist Thanks for the reply. I keep studying and searching but all these questions comes to hunt me, like the one i asked in here. the problem i don't see any satisfactory answers
@@FCBgamalARAB We do not believe that God will punish us for others' sins. Please feel free to share more of your concerns here, and you will find people (like me) who are happy to help if we can.
@James Wines Every day I pray to the true God, I listen to His Spirit, and I hear His voice in scripture, including the Bible. The best is already here, and if you ever want to learn about it, I'd be happy to help.
A merciful God would have stopped the holocaust. A merciful God wouldn't damn children who never had a chance to hear the word of God. A merciful god would not cause droughts that starve millions. God is not merciful. God is not just.
Your conclusions are inadequate. Even your premises are; God doesn't damn children who have never had a chance to hear the word of God. There are horrible things that happen in the world, but God's plan is sometimes known as the Plan of Happiness for good reason. Perhaps someday you will be willing to learn why. God is merciful, just, wise, and loving, and someday you will know it for yourself. I hope that day comes sooner for you, rather than later, because it's wonderful to understand.
Hi, It is painful to think about things that seem to be unfair, and can cause our faith in, and love for God, and in his Son Jesus Christ to waver, however we should never loose faith in God, because life is hard. Jesus Christ's life was much much more difficult than any person has, and will ever go through in mortality. Since he has lived through every bit of the most unpleasant circumstances we have gone through, and will go through, he understands perfectly just how much we should go through to help us to learn wisdom, and to be more empathetic towards those around us who suffer also. All that is unfair about life can be made right through the atonement of Jesus Christ. Since this life thankfully doesn't end at death, but in life, with physical death being only a temporary separation of spirit from our physical bodies, we will eventually have perfect eternal resurrected bodies, that are incorruptible! Honestly this life will only be a small blink, in God's eternal scheme of things, and he has gone over every aspect of our lives personally, so he knows just how much we can go through to prove our faithfulness to him. We are like toddlers learning to walk, or a child learning to ride a bike. Is the parent going to hold the child up, or hold their handlebars, for the rest of their life? No of course not. Is there a risk in learning how to ride a bike? Yes we can fall off and get hurt. But does this mean that the loved ones who taught us how to ride a bike, or to walk are unjust, or unkind because they let us "ride or walk," for ourselves? God bless you to hopefully see just how much God loves you.
Because sinning and making mistakes and overcoming them is how we learn. We learn through experience. We have the option to sin, but we also have the option to do the right thing. It is so much more fulfilling to know you did the right thing by your own volition as opposed to being forced to do it. It helps to see mistakes and sins as a learning opportunity as opposed to thinking we're doomed or that God is angry and distant with us. God is _not_ sitting in heaven with a clipboard shaking his head in embarrassment whenever we mess up. He loves us, and wants us to learn from our mistakes and come back stronger. If we didn't have the option to sin, we'd just be robots as it were, dormant, never learning, growing, or improving. We wouldn't know how good it felt to do the right thing. Righteousness wouldn't be a choice, but more of an involuntary instinct, like breathing. We need to taste a bit of bitterness to fully appreciate sweetness.
Life is definitely not pointless. Keep learning, and you will understand. By making correct choices we learn and become more like Jesus and our Father in Heaven, and by repenting after we sin we do the same. We grow in ways we could not grow otherwise.
if you want to progress to receive everything that God has and be joint heirs with Christ, you must love God. Proving that you love Him is your choice, you get to come close to Him, and if you do, all that the father has will be given you. It is a test to see if we will do all things that the Lord asks of us. Faith in Christ is the key.
You are comparing a traffic system made by men with God's laws. In my opinion the analogy doesn't stands. On top of that we were saved by Jessus Christ. Jessus Christ died for everyone. Jessus Christ died for everyone. And God love's everyone. You mentioned "Conditions to live with God". What if your parents would put conditions to you that they will love you only if you get big grades at school. Otherwise they will send you away from their home in a place where you suffer. What do you think ?
God wants to give us everything He has. He gives some gifts freely. Other gifts are very much conditional, and there are reasons for it. One of the free and universal gifts is God's love. Latter-day saints firmly believe that Jesus Christ suffered for everyone, died, and was resurrected for everyone. Because of that, we will all be resurrected and brought to stand before God. Also, because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, we all have the opportunity to repent, or in other words, we all have to opportunity to accept the greater blessings that God has in store for us. Is it fair for God to require certain conditions of us? Absolutely, particularly when He gives us the choice. God is perfect and holy, and only holy people will dwell with Him. We can all be made holy through the grace of Jesus Christ, but some of us will not choose that. Those who don't will be given a joyous life after being judged by God, but it will be less than what they could have had. I'd be interested in hearing further thoughts or questions from you about this.
I always believed in one God Jesus Christ, but to me God doesn't seem so just however. Is this just for you? Matthew 20: 1-16 Parable Of Workers In Vineyard For me it is not just at all. With all respect Saint Paul is a great saint. Saint Rita and Saint Pio da Pietralcina were saints from when they were born or baptized, Saint Paul was a criminal who killed thousands of people, he is a saint as much as Saint Rita and Saint Pio da Pietralcina. Does he deserve it? For me he doesn't deserve the same merits as the other Saints i mentioned. My wife was being fooled around and being given false results and diagnosis intentionally by criminal corrupted doctors in Malta hospitals, and was being left untreated, suffering and dying for 2 years in Malta, then she moved to UK but as the British hide the Maltese government's crimes for another year she was being left untreated suffering and getting in a worse condition intentionally. In Malta and UK criminal corrupted doctors did not see the damages to her organs although the damage could be seen clearly. When we met she moved with me to my country and the diagnosis she was given were very different, and in my country she began being given treatment immediately. As for 3 years she was being given false results and diagnosis, was being left untreated, suffering and dying intentionally more damage had been done to her organs, if she did not leave Malta and UK she would be dead, she's still alive thanks to Our Lady .The criminals in these hospitals public and private, just rip you off for giving you false diagnosis, maybe prescribe you some pain killer or maybe Cannabis and let you dying. They are allowed by government to avoid tax, to steal patient's money for fooling them around, these are some of the rewards they get for letting patients get worse and die. At present it is more easy to certify false deaths. They also get bonuses for hiding the cause of illnesses and blaming patients for any illness either because of consuming alcohol, smoking, or type of food consumed. Do you seriously think that these things never happen in Malta? No medical negligence, no medical malpractice, no illnesses caused by living too close too an airport or port, no illnesses caused by work. Or that the criminal corrupted doctors in Maltese hospitals hide each other's crimes because as they are ordered to do so they are protected by Maltese authorities? They are also involved in International corruption, this has been going on for years, and there were thousands of people murdered this way. This is basically what the Germans did in WW2 known as T4 Program. Which good and loving God would permit this and does not intervene to punish those involved? Which good and loving God would permit these criminals to keep avoiding justice? Are these criminal fascist government's powers superior to God's power? I firmly believe in God and Our Lady, we pray the rosary everyday and offer it for the conversion of a poor soul, but with the greatest respect seems Our Lady was unable to change a single soul, how can she convert Russia orthe world? Maybe conversion is not good for that soul? Is that why God didn't grant it? Christ had said ''knock and it will be opened to you'', ''seek and you will find'' ''ask and it will be given to you'' ''whatever you ask to the Father in my name he will give it to you'' and ''whatever you ask for you will receive if it is beneficial to your soul''. Are these promises valid for everyone or only for those whom God loves? Same question is in regards of Our Lady's promises. You said that God knows what is best for us. God is Our Father, he knows everything and knows things before they happen, which good loving Father who loves his children would grant his daughter to someone who had the intention just to use her and when she got pregnant left her? Seems that God is not so offended by the man's sins and actions because to him he granted more. God seems offended by the woman's sins only in this case. Does God really want to save everyone or only those loved by him? For who's soul was this beneficial? Man? Woman? Baby? Which good and loving Father would deny a daughter having another relation with someone who really loves her because according to him it is adultery?
Enough of what Mormons think, the word of God says otherwise. God is merciful while we are alive. When we die and didn't repent or accept Jesus as savior his Mercy becomes justice. If I commit a crime against my neighbor and the judge let's me go FREE he is a corrupt judge. Same way with God. If a sinner was too proud to reject Sin today there is a price too pay. Please Mormons start reading the Bible. Jesus is the Messiah, our savior
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints worldwide study from the Bible all the time, and put special emphasis on the New Testament in our studies last year. Like you, we believe that Jesus Christ is our Savior and Lord.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints knows more truth found in the Bible than any other church or any of them combined. Other churches study tradition and arbitrary interpretation, we understand the word of God because it has been revealed to us, not because we arbitrarily interpret it like other churches.
Jeff Smith he said Mormons because that's what the world calls us and knows us as. These videos are intended to be for those who want to know more about the church, who don't have a prior history with it. So of course they had to say Mormons in this video.
We are NOT MORMONS! And I quote: 3 Nephi Verse 27...tells us that even we have been lax in listening to the LORD not only in this but in all things pertaining to his words.
@@BrendonKing Faithful members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are Christian in the fullest sense of the word. "Mormon" has always been a nickname, based on the book of scripture compiled by the ancient prophet Mormon, but the true name of the Church of Jesus Christ bears His name, and we never want to neglect that.

God gives it to you or he doesn't: based on you believing in His Atonement on the cross not in the garden! Grace comes before obedience to good works not after as mormons teach !
@@davidjanbaz7728 An infinitely important part of the Atonement of Christ happened in the Garden of Gethsemane. The grace of Christ is always available to us; it sounds like you have misunderstood the teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ. Feel free to learn about the Church at ComeUntoChrist.org or ChurchOfJesusChrist.org.
Nice video, but i still don't got it, how is god just if he punished someone for the sin of others. I guess, i don't see a judge punish someone else because i stole someone's car, or raped someone's daughter. isn't more just for me to be punished for the sins i did?
Hi Gamal - Fortunately for all of us, Jesus Christ is our Redeemer, Intermediary, and Final Judge; no one else can judge us, and we are commanded not to judge others. The Savior alone knows and loves us perfectly. Through the scriptures, modern prophets, and personal revelation, He invites us to come unto Him and center our lives on His teachings. You or others interested can learn how we can find greater peace and happiness by following the Savior here: www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2006/10/the-atonement-can-secure-your-peace-and-happiness?lang=eng
@@churchofjesuschrist Thanks for the reply. I keep studying and searching but all these questions comes to hunt me, like the one i asked in here. the problem i don't see any satisfactory answers
@@FCBgamalARAB We do not believe that God will punish us for others' sins. Please feel free to share more of your concerns here, and you will find people (like me) who are happy to help if we can.
@James Wines Every day I pray to the true God, I listen to His Spirit, and I hear His voice in scripture, including the Bible. The best is already here, and if you ever want to learn about it, I'd be happy to help.
It's going to be like Samson knocking some evil witches and wizards out like mike Tyson
A merciful God would have stopped the holocaust. A merciful God wouldn't damn children who never had a chance to hear the word of God. A merciful god would not cause droughts that starve millions. God is not merciful. God is not just.
Your conclusions are inadequate. Even your premises are; God doesn't damn children who have never had a chance to hear the word of God. There are horrible things that happen in the world, but God's plan is sometimes known as the Plan of Happiness for good reason. Perhaps someday you will be willing to learn why. God is merciful, just, wise, and loving, and someday you will know it for yourself. I hope that day comes sooner for you, rather than later, because it's wonderful to understand.
Hi,
It is painful to think about things that seem to be unfair, and can cause our faith in, and love for God, and in his Son Jesus Christ to waver, however we should never loose faith in God, because life is hard.
Jesus Christ's life was much much more difficult than any person has, and will ever go through in mortality.
Since he has lived through every bit of the most unpleasant circumstances we have gone through, and will go through, he understands perfectly just how much we should go through to help us to learn wisdom, and to be more empathetic towards those around us who suffer also.
All that is unfair about life can be made right through the atonement of Jesus Christ. Since this life thankfully doesn't end at death, but in life, with physical death being only a temporary separation of spirit from our physical bodies, we will eventually have perfect eternal resurrected bodies, that are incorruptible! Honestly this life will only be a small blink, in God's eternal scheme of things, and he has gone over every aspect of our lives personally, so he knows just how much we can go through to prove our faithfulness to him. We are like toddlers learning to walk, or a child learning to ride a bike. Is the parent going to hold the child up, or hold their handlebars, for the rest of their life? No of course not. Is there a risk in learning how to ride a bike? Yes we can fall off and get hurt. But does this mean that the loved ones who taught us how to ride a bike, or to walk are unjust, or unkind because they let us "ride or walk," for ourselves?
God bless you to hopefully see just how much God loves you.

Good video. "religious folk?" 0:57
It would take an awful long time to make a list of the different religions that people adhere to. Lol
@@ZachJ367 they probably have different beliefs than you do!
The God of the old testament is vengeful but the God of the old testament is Loving.
They are one and the same. Both testaments show justice and mercy enacded by God.
What made you come to that conclusion?
What is the point of this pointless life then, What is God thinking, why even give us the option to sin in the first place?!
Because sinning and making mistakes and overcoming them is how we learn. We learn through experience. We have the option to sin, but we also have the option to do the right thing. It is so much more fulfilling to know you did the right thing by your own volition as opposed to being forced to do it.
It helps to see mistakes and sins as a learning opportunity as opposed to thinking we're doomed or that God is angry and distant with us. God is _not_ sitting in heaven with a clipboard shaking his head in embarrassment whenever we mess up. He loves us, and wants us to learn from our mistakes and come back stronger. If we didn't have the option to sin, we'd just be robots as it were, dormant, never learning, growing, or improving. We wouldn't know how good it felt to do the right thing. Righteousness wouldn't be a choice, but more of an involuntary instinct, like breathing. We need to taste a bit of bitterness to fully appreciate sweetness.
Life is definitely not pointless. Keep learning, and you will understand. By making correct choices we learn and become more like Jesus and our Father in Heaven, and by repenting after we sin we do the same. We grow in ways we could not grow otherwise.
if you want to progress to receive everything that God has and be joint heirs with Christ, you must love God. Proving that you love Him is your choice, you get to come close to Him, and if you do, all that the father has will be given you. It is a test to see if we will do all things that the Lord asks of us. Faith in Christ is the key.
You going to see my justice
You are comparing a traffic system made by men with God's laws. In my opinion the analogy doesn't stands. On top of that we were saved by Jessus Christ. Jessus Christ died for everyone. Jessus Christ died for everyone. And God love's everyone.
You mentioned "Conditions to live with God". What if your parents would put conditions to you that they will love you only if you get big grades at school. Otherwise they will send you away from their home in a place where you suffer.
What do you think ?
God wants to give us everything He has. He gives some gifts freely. Other gifts are very much conditional, and there are reasons for it. One of the free and universal gifts is God's love. Latter-day saints firmly believe that Jesus Christ suffered for everyone, died, and was resurrected for everyone. Because of that, we will all be resurrected and brought to stand before God. Also, because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, we all have the opportunity to repent, or in other words, we all have to opportunity to accept the greater blessings that God has in store for us.
Is it fair for God to require certain conditions of us? Absolutely, particularly when He gives us the choice. God is perfect and holy, and only holy people will dwell with Him. We can all be made holy through the grace of Jesus Christ, but some of us will not choose that. Those who don't will be given a joyous life after being judged by God, but it will be less than what they could have had.
I'd be interested in hearing further thoughts or questions from you about this.
you took that video way out of context haha
I always believed in one God Jesus Christ, but to me God doesn't seem so just however.
Is this just for you? Matthew 20: 1-16 Parable Of Workers In Vineyard For me it is not just at all. With all respect Saint Paul is a great saint. Saint Rita and Saint Pio da Pietralcina were saints from when they were born or baptized, Saint Paul was a criminal who killed thousands of people, he is a saint as much as Saint Rita and Saint Pio da Pietralcina. Does he deserve it? For me he doesn't deserve the same merits as the other Saints i mentioned.
My wife was being fooled around and being given false results and diagnosis intentionally by criminal corrupted doctors in Malta hospitals, and was being left untreated, suffering and dying for 2 years in Malta, then she moved to UK but as the British hide the Maltese government's crimes for another year she was being left untreated suffering and getting in a worse condition intentionally. In Malta and UK criminal corrupted doctors did not see the damages to her organs although the damage could be seen clearly. When we met she moved with me to my country and the diagnosis she was given were very different, and in my country she began being given treatment immediately. As for 3 years she was being given false results and diagnosis, was being left untreated, suffering and dying intentionally more damage had been done to her organs, if she did not leave Malta and UK she would be dead, she's still alive thanks to Our Lady .The criminals in these hospitals public and private, just rip you off for giving you false diagnosis, maybe prescribe you some pain killer or maybe Cannabis and let you dying. They are allowed by government to avoid tax, to steal patient's money for fooling them around, these are some of the rewards they get for letting patients get worse and die. At present it is more easy to certify false deaths. They also get bonuses for hiding the cause of illnesses and blaming patients for any illness either because of consuming alcohol, smoking, or type of food consumed.
Do you seriously think that these things never happen in Malta? No medical negligence, no medical malpractice, no illnesses caused by living too close too an airport or port, no illnesses caused by work. Or that the criminal corrupted doctors in Maltese hospitals hide each other's crimes because as they are ordered to do so they are protected by Maltese authorities? They are also involved in International corruption, this has been going on for years, and there were thousands of people murdered this way. This is basically what the Germans did in WW2 known as T4 Program. Which good and loving God would permit this and does not intervene to punish those involved? Which good and loving God would permit these criminals to keep avoiding justice? Are these criminal fascist government's powers superior to God's power?
I firmly believe in God and Our Lady, we pray the rosary everyday and offer it for the conversion of a poor soul, but with the greatest respect seems Our Lady was unable to change a single soul, how can she convert Russia orthe world? Maybe conversion is not good for that soul? Is that why God didn't grant it?
Christ had said ''knock and it will be opened to you'', ''seek and you will find'' ''ask and it will be given to you'' ''whatever you ask to the Father in my name he will give it to you'' and ''whatever you ask for you will receive if it is beneficial to your soul''. Are these promises valid for everyone or only for those whom God loves? Same question is in regards of Our Lady's promises. You said that God knows what is best for us.
God is Our Father, he knows everything and knows things before they happen, which good loving Father who loves his children would grant his daughter to someone who had the intention just to use her and when she got pregnant left her? Seems that God is not so offended by the man's sins and actions because to him he granted more. God seems offended by the woman's sins only in this case. Does God really want to save everyone or only those loved by him? For who's soul was this beneficial? Man? Woman? Baby? Which good and loving Father would deny a daughter having another relation with someone who really loves her because according to him it is adultery?
Enough of what Mormons think, the word of God says otherwise. God is merciful while we are alive. When we die and didn't repent or accept Jesus as savior his Mercy becomes justice. If I commit a crime against my neighbor and the judge let's me go FREE he is a corrupt judge. Same way with God. If a sinner was too proud to reject Sin today there is a price too pay. Please Mormons start reading the Bible. Jesus is the Messiah, our savior
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints worldwide study from the Bible all the time, and put special emphasis on the New Testament in our studies last year. Like you, we believe that Jesus Christ is our Savior and Lord.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints knows more truth found in the Bible than any other church or any of them combined.
Other churches study tradition and arbitrary interpretation, we understand the word of God because it has been revealed to us, not because we arbitrarily interpret it like other churches.
You blew it when you called them "Mormons"
Jeff Smith he said Mormons because that's what the world calls us and knows us as. These videos are intended to be for those who want to know more about the church, who don't have a prior history with it. So of course they had to say Mormons in this video.
How so?
We are NOT MORMONS! And I quote: 3 Nephi Verse 27...tells us that even we have been lax in listening to the LORD not only in this but in all things pertaining to his words.
Well they are trying to slowly swing the world out of calling us Mormons. It's a slow process to change that
Valerie R we need to keep a distinction between the Mormon community and the Christian community, because there IS a distinction.
@@BrendonKing Faithful members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are Christian in the fullest sense of the word. "Mormon" has always been a nickname, based on the book of scripture compiled by the ancient prophet Mormon, but the true name of the Church of Jesus Christ bears His name, and we never want to neglect that.
This video is a catfish
What a lie
I find it to be wonderfully truthful. What part troubled you?
Great
