Allen, the timing of this for me of you making this video is absolutely amazing. I've been a sola scriptura Christian for about 3 years and within the last week these supposed missionaries have been talking to me and at first I thought. This is amazing I was looking for a new church to attend and really thought this was something that was meant to be I gave them my phone number and they hadn't brought up the book of Mormonism until recently and I attended the church the other day and these Church Elders have been trying to get me baptized and after doing more research I was realizing this things about how non-Christian the book or Mormon is and I was thinking all day today about how I was gonna mention it to them and I finally did that today after listening to this whole thing. It's purely amazing that you posted this today.
Hi Allen, I'm a Latter-day Saint. I wanted to let you know that you made a great many factual errors in this video and greatly misrepresented Mormonism and the Church of Jesus Christ. I would love to talk with you and clear these things up. There are also a great many Latter-day Saint scholars and TH-camrs who would love to come on your show and collaborate to make a video accurately portraying our beliefs that's constructive rather than destructive. I know for a fact that Ward Radio, Thoughtful Faith, and Robert Boylan would accept the offer in a heartbeat.
@@Eric_Rebron You should know that most of the stuff said about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in this video is wildly incorrect. Rather than blindly trust what you hear on the internet from apologists and antagonists, where misinformation runs loose. I would encourage you to have your own experience. Read the Book of Mormon and see for yourself how Christian it is. Pray to God for guidance as you seek truth with love and charity. James 1:5, 16-21 "5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him... 16 Do not err, my beloved brethren. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. 18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. 19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. 21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls." Proverb 18:13, 17 "13 If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame. 17 In a lawsuit the first to speak seems right, until someone comes forward and cross-examines."
@@giraffewhiskers2045 hello thanks for your reply. Please elaborate on your response ( Sorry to ask I just wish TH-cam would print the original question as a reference) 👍
@@nute742 with Christian’s we believe in the trinity.. we believe that Jesus, the father and the Holy Spirit are all 3 persons in 1 being.. this may be blasphemy to say but think about in those cartoons where 3 kids jump on each others shoulders and make them selfs into one figure, or think about did disorder.. basically they have personalities with different responsibilities and they are all in one body Mormons don’t believe in the trinity, they believe Jesus was made or he was archangel micheal, and I’ve heard that you guys don’t read the Bible as much as you do the Book of Mormon.. that’s usually the book Mormons want to hand out, and not the Bible! Then you believe athiests just go into a black void when the Bible teaches those who don’t follow God go to hell, and those who put their faith in Christ go to heaven. Not to mention John 10:30 which says “I and the father are one” and Jesus was speaking John 1:1-5 talks about Jesus being in the beginning and if you look at the word Elohim I believe it’s plural in genesis 1, then in also in genesis 2 it says “let’s create man in OUR image” but Adam and Eve don’t address their being any other Gods besides 1 being.. therefor the trinity..
You ever notice that every other religion besides Christianity focuses on one person as "the last prophet" and totally doesnt focus and put 100% credit to Jesus Christ?
I would say that we have a pretty good focus on Jesus Christ. Here is my favorite verse from the "satanic" Book of Mormon for emphasis: Mosiah 4:11 - And again I say unto you as I have said before, that as ye have come to the knowledge of the glory of God, or if ye have known of his goodness and have tasted of his love, and have received a remission of your sins, which causeth such exceedingly great joy in your souls, even so I would that ye should remember, and always retain in remembrance, the greatness of God, and your own nothingness, and his goodness and long-suffering towards you, unworthy creatures, and humble yourselves even in the depths of humility, calling on the name of the Lord daily, and standing steadfastly in the faith of that which is to come, which was spoken by the mouth of the angel. We are NOTHING without God, His Son, and the Holy Spirit. We should always remember that. This is one of the reasons why this is my favorite verse. You're actually kind of right on this point. We ALL need to remember how merciful God is to us, when even our best works are as filthy rags before him. His Grace is EVERY bit the way we make it to heaven. Sorry to offfend. Have a nice day!
@@BookWardenif you’re comparing the BoM and D&C you are going to se the huge discrepancy between them. The BoM are literally a copy of the Bible and D&C are exclusively thought and teachings of a narcissistic man. No offense 😉
I live in Utah, grew up in Utah, I am surrounded by LDS members..... being someone who has finally found the true Jesus, it feels very lonely sometimes.
Look for a bible believing church and look for groups of ex members of the lds 1:51 who are now Christian. Maybe connect with this person who connect with others
True Christianity is just so simple we all are sinners which is why we need Jesus who died for our sins And he can do that cause he is God 3 in 1 and lived a sinless life
I was Mormon and cursed! Turns out I believed blasphemous idolatrous perverse beliefs and demons attacked every aspect of my life. Finally I got Delivered! Set Free in Jesus name! I renewed my mind and got Real Jesys now!
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and feel blessed every day. My Savior Jesus Christ has been beside me in every trial,, in sunshine and dark shadow.I cannot wait to kneel at His feet at that perfect day, and thank Him for all of the kindness given to me, as a I gaze upon the wounds in His hands, feet and side, that He endured for me and all who shall step forward by faith.Grace indeed, loved and cared for, even though I do not deserve any of the everlasting kindness that has been generously gifted to me.
I was a Mormon for 52 years and glad to finally be out of that cult! I'm a new born again Christian and have never been happier or more determined in spreading the real Jesus and real Christianity to my family and friends! Thanks for this great video and God bless!!
So glad you are boldly speaking about this now Allan. In the beginning you were not confident to speak boldly about Mormonism. God gives us courage to speak the truth in love!
I've always taught my kids...question everything. Don't believe me, don't believe our Pastor, read the Bible, pray for discernment, do your own research. Anyone who will stop you from asking questions or doing your own research is a red flag.
Exactly. Don’t take this pastor’s word for it. Do your own research. Prayerfully discern for yourself whether this pastor speaks the truth or not. Read the Book of Mormon and make your own judgement. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I don’t feel like this pastor accurately explained our beliefs. Happy to provide any clarification to what the pastor is claiming we believe.
@@mahayinnovations7162 You need to pray for a bit more discernment my friend. Unfortunately you've been deceived. I pray your eyes will be opened 🙏. God bless you
@@SKZemiliaSTAY I appreciate the prayers. I 100% agree with your first comment that you should do your own research. If you feel that I am deceived after you have done your own research then I totally respect that. If you feel I am deceived according to what this pastor said in this video, then my response would be, you should do your own research. Go to the sources and verify what this pastor is saying. I agree with the way you teach your kids. My kids are still pretty young but I tell them this is what I believe and this is why I believe it, and someday you will have to find out for yourself if you believe it too. You and I might have differing beliefs, but I hope that we can agree that the two greatest commandments are first love the Lord God, and second love your neighbor. Thanks for the friendly reply. God bless you as well.
@@SKZemiliaSTAYwhy is it that when she prays and received a clear answer its your duty to tell her she is wrong? I would like to know how she came to that answer. What exactly she prayer for and what happened in her life that told her that Jesus Christ is the center of her religion?
Having been a Mormon for 47 years, I can tell you the best way to evangelize a Mormon is to #1 be a living example of a disciple, #2 be a kind friend, and #3 ASK QUESTIONS! Mormons believe that their feelings are the Holy Ghost. If you say something that makes them uncomfortable, they think it's the Spirit testifying that what you are saying is wrong. To get past this Holy Ghost feelings, it's absolutely necessary to ask them the questions so they can do their own research.
Good advice!! The Spirit of religion is so strong with this group of people. They truly have to humble themselves or let the Lord humble them, which is what happened to me!! And believe me, it was painful, but then God showed me Himself, and still it took my effort to choose Him and NOT the Church.
I’m sorry to but this just simply isn’t true. I don’t believe my feelings are the Holy Ghost. Maybe people miscommunicate because we’re human after all. I believe the holy spiritual speaks to my mind and my heart. Together. Calling it feelings is inaccurate. I believe developing the spiritual gift of discernment is incredibly important for all people. God bless.
@@kristinrichmond8185 If my pastor came out to be a pedophile polygamist, I’d be running from that church as fast as possible and trying to save everyone else in there. That’s how we feel about all these poor Mormons following the DIFFERENT teachings of an angel named Moron-I. This calls for discernment.
@@kristinrichmond8185 Joseph Smith literally added a prophesy about himself in the Mormon study Bible, Genesis 50:27-38. However a real Christian Bible ends at verse 26.
@@kristinrichmond8185 if we were chatting about an old friend and you were describing a man named Jesse who was brother to Santa and I was describing a man named Jesse who was creator of Santa, I think we’d quickly agree that we were talking about two different people named Jesse. 💡
I was a Mormon for 35 years of my life. It is a hard road to exit. They tought me that the surest way to give my soul to Satan was to leave the Mormon church. I understand how hard it can be to face that reality that none of it is true that the real truth is that through the grace of Jesus and faith alone we are saved is hard at first but so very easy once you realize it. My god is a good gracious God who loves me and all of his children. Stop hesitating and realize that there's nothing you can do to earn your way into heaven you have to have Jesus.
@BaBumz because that's the best first response. No questions no curiosity about how I came to my conclusion. Just outright name calling and insulting is not necessary.
@imarip9781 you can't buy your way into heaven. You should do works because they are a good thing to do, not because you think you'll get into "better" heaven. Ephesians 2:8-9 King James Version 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Works don't get you into heaven grace and faith do.
@imarip9781 love it. I didn't think we were in disagreement. All glory goes to God in the end. For as long as through our works we give it all to god it is a good and great thing. Thank you for all you've shared.
@imarip9781 - According to the Bible, it says that if you are trusting in any amount of works at all to get into heaven, then that is a different gospel and one that doesn’t save.
My mom was Mormon by default habing been born in Salt Lake City in 1941, met my dad, got married, moved to Cali, then got saved around 1960-something. Fast forward to late 90's and the Mormon church tracked her down for geology stuff and it was FREAKY, she was highly diaconcerted that after ao many years and several cross-country address changes, that they were so easily able to track her down before there was widespread tech that made such information access readily available.
Not shocked to hear this in the slightest. Mormons use "family search" for their genealogy stuff and you can find almost anything on anyone on there. All kinds of public records, all of your current/previous addresses.. what have you. If she hasn't had her records removed from the church I would urge her to do so!
Thank you for this video, Brother Parr. I was born and raised in a mormon fundamentalist polygamist group but was saved 11 months ago. I now attend a non-denominational church where I was baptized in October of last year. There were many things that the Holy Spirit used to lead me to Jesus, but your channel was one of them. I began watching some of your videos as a young teenager, and the power, direction, and simplicity of God's word was becoming clear to me. Your channel helped shine the light of God into the darkness of my life. Praise God for that and my eventual salvation. I pray that others in the LDS faith will come to know God as he really is and understand the power and simplicity of His salvation.🤍
Awesome testimony! Jesus chases after those that belong to Him. Who the Son sets free is free indeed! Praise God for being found and placed into His huge family. Welcome 🙏🏽 💖
Buzz and Maya Swolpin are my favorite commentators on this particular subject. So much great insight. Their videos are kind of hard to find and I'm not sure I got the spelling right. Ask your bible group the next chance you get, I'm sure someone will know about them. Shalom! 🕊️
Iwas raise kind of a jack mormon, I know as much as an outsider does, but even I know that you don't conflate the FLDS with the LDS, it is insulting to them.
@allanapereira9779 - I ask you to please join any church that is not led by the pastor in this video. He is truly one of the most UN-Christlike humans I have ever had the displeasure of watching on a "religious" video. You think he would have spent his time preaching of Jesus Christ and testifying of Christ instead of spreading falsehoods and blatant lies and complete contempt for his neighbors that believe differently than he does. Is that the leader of a congregation you want to align with? Would Jesus choose that pastor's example to represent Christlike values? Absolutely not. There is no spirit of Christ in that pastor that I could feel this entire video.
My daughter told me that she asked God how to deal with the LDS, and HE said LOVE. Please love them into the truth of the Gospel. The scales are very thick on their eyes, they literally are blind. They need your prayers and love!!!
I appreciate you pointing out the greatest of all commandments. “LOVE”. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints have endured almost 200 years of the non-stop hatred, persecution, lies, conspiracy theories, mocking and the like. Jesus prophesied that because he was first hated and persecuted the same will be done unto his servants and his church. All his original 12 apostles were mocked, persecuted and the majority was killed all because they were preaching the gospel that the Jews would not accept as they cling to only the laws of Moses and felt they have everything and didn’t need any other teachings. Heck, they even called Jesus, the devil. Fast forward to these last days and the same exact thing is happening. Many of God’s prophecy is being fulfilled. These last days the deceived, the naysayers, evil doers will call good, bad and bad, good. Y’all are the ones that are spiritually blind because the devil whispers into y’all ears with his mountain of lies and y’all run with it without ever going to God with a sincere heart, mind and soul and ask him where to find his only church that he created and gave his power and authority to 12 men he ordained. Satan is so threatened by the true church that is lead and guided by Jesus, that the hatred and persecution is never ending. It’s worse now with the technology of the World Wide Web/the internet and social media. The man made false churches y’all flock to, but The Church of Jesus Christ that teaches the full gospel is the one that y’all love to spread lies about, misrepresent and take much out of context that y’all don’t understand and some of the same parts we have a common ground on is never spoken about. You see how cunning and crafty the devil is!!!. When I read the Holy Bible (KJV), I recognize and understand correctly so much more that is only taught in The Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints because all the other churches are man made and they do not have the power and authority from God and this church is the only one that is God made. There is only 1 Lord, 1 Faith and 1 Baptism. To put in context the reality there’s actually only 2 churches. The church of the devil which is the Catholic Church and all the Protestant churches that evolve from them. The other church is The Church of Jesus Christ. Here’s some research y’all can do. The entire Bible mentions christian(s) only 3 times, but yet y’all are like ravishing wolves as the gate keepers. Lol. Did y’all not know it was unbelievers, nay sayers that used that christian(s) to mock, ridiculed and was originally used as a derogatory term to those who believe in Christ, but we all have adopted it. How ironic and interesting that y’all are unbelievers within our belief context and were the ones from the Protestant/evangelical community so many years ago mocked us and label us as “mormons”. Unfortunately in my opinion, we mistakenly accepted that label for a time, although we have identified ourselves as followers of Christ thereby we are more Christians than the ravishing wolves of gate keepers who are making false judgements as to who is a Christian or not. The Church have formerly, several years ago, denounced the use and acceptance of the label of “mormons”, “mormon church” and “mormonism”. Furthermore, as part of the name of Jesus Church we are Latter-day Saints, not “mormons. Mormon was an ancient Prophet and historian and he played a significant role in preserving and protecting the scriptures of God’s dealings with his other sheep. That being said, if you really study God’s words in the Holy Bible, the Prophet and Apostles consistently referred to the church members in their revelations and in written epistles was “Saints”. The word Saint(s) are found in the Holy Bible about 100 times right down to the last book of the Holy Bible which is Revelation. So while y’all want to be the ravishing wolves of gate keepers for the word “Christian” which was used as a mocker, we will still identify ourselves as followers of Jesus Christ and his true last day Saints that he speaks of that will be his elect.
Hi, I'm a Latter-day Saint, thank you for your concern and effort to love. You'll be happy to know that most of the horrible things said about the Church of Jesus Christ in this video are false. So good news, we are not really as satanic as you've been led to believe. All that being said, may I ask why you're hesitant to accept the Book of Mormon? Have you ever read it?
Glad you are talking about this after the interview with the creator of the Chosen who believes his Mormon friends serve the same Jesus as he does. Thank you for sharing the truth with love!
@@CCD_106 Perhaps he was led by the Holy Spirit that that was not the time to address it. Even Paul was told by the Holy Spirit not to teach the gospel to certain peoples at certain times.
God in His mercy saved me from Mormonism a little more than 5 years ago. Similar to the story of Beau and KD, it took me YEARS to find the courage to leave. If any Mormons watching are in the same situation, the joy and freedom in Christ is worth any pain you may experience in leaving. ❤
Amen!!! God bless u sister and Neva forget how much our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ loves us❤️. Always stay strong in faith, trust in the Lord and neva stop reading the Bible, keep praying and fasting! God bless u and ur fam❤️
The Lord by His mercy sent two sister missionaries from the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to my door in the Spring of 1980.I was baptised on June 7, of that year.I love my Redeemer Jesus Christ, His Restored church, and I equally adore both the Holy Bible and Book of Mormon.Saved from confusion and gross sin,I am now free, in and through Christ, and do not merit such grace and kindness.
I come from a long lineage of Mormons. Left when I was 19 and they expected me to serve a mission. I never felt like it was truth. My brother followed suit as did my best friend (his parents think I’m the devil). I didn’t believe we could be Gods. And the real tipping point was learning about the temple endowment ceremonies. They show a film of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden and after they partake of the fruit Satan tells them to cover their bodies with fig leaves. They pause the film and instruct the group of about 20 people to stand and put on their green fig leaf aprons on top of the white temple clothes. They are literally holding a ceremony to show contrition to Satan. Nobody questions it, they just obey. Then they move on to a blood oath. God believes in growth through free will. Satan believes in forced contrition. Most churches operate as control mechanisms which makes me believe they are Satan’s greatest deception. Lead people astray while convincing them they are holy. Contradictions in Mormon scripture vs biblical scripture are lazily explained away as “incorrect interpretations”. Bible teaches we are saved by the grace of God. Nothing more, nothing less. The Mormons believe we are all going to heaven, but that our “works” determine which kingdom of heaven (3 levels of heaven) we end up in. The top level of course is reserved for Mormons that did their temple work. They get mansions in the “Celestial Kingdom” with streets paved in gold and granted the power to create worlds and be gods themselves. A very materialistic idea of heaven. Quite the opposite of what I envision heaven to be.
@@VincentDy-q4h It is not presented or taught that way, and is simply a logical direction. We partner with God on earth to share in creating life. We don't do it on our own. Families are our greatest blessings. Why would a loving Heavenly Father take our greatest and righteous joy from us? We are not a 'god" in the sense of this world.
John 10:33-34 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? Romans 8:17 ...And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
You are so surrounded by demonic entities that you are blind to see it. It’s so obvious when y’all fall into satan’s trap not knowing the scriptures but bearing false witness of sound doctrine. I don’t want you to continue to suffer in darkness so let me minister unto you as it’s the Christlike thing to do. Here a few scriptures that God have repeatedly told us we are little gods, not the Almighty God. Know the difference and stop letting the devil deceive you. You won’t like the outcome in the end. Reject the devil and he will flee. PSALM 82: 6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. DANIEL 2: 47 The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.” 1 Corinthians 8: 5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) 6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. Our church didn’t invent what the scriptures already revealed. Pay attention to the upper case “G” (only 1 God) and the lower case “g”(gods many). Never should you speak of what you don’t understand and condemn and blaspheme on what is of God. God will continue to reveal things to his true ordained servants. Don’t be like the Pharisees who reject things they never understood. They mocked and crucified Jesus based on their unbelief. Their mainstream beliefs and tradition rested on the Law of Moses only. The Gospel of Jesus Christ was new to them and they called Jesus the devil because they were astonished as to his preachings. I would encourage you to seek your own personal revelation through prayer and even fasting to God. Ask and ye shall receive. Don’t jeopardize your own salvation leaning unto your own understanding. Praying for you. 🙏🏽 REPENT
INCORRECT: 6:38: President Hinckley(the living prophet at the time) is referring to the concept of Christ that has been developed in the centuries since the Nicene Creed was formed-He is saying that we do not believe in non-Biblical creeds. This statement is quite correct: Latter-day Saints do not have some of the same “beliefs” about Christ that other Christian churches do. He IS NOT saying that we do not believe in the Biblical Christ. In fact, the reason that Latter-day Saints do not accept these creeds is because they are non-Biblical. President Hinckley continued (with words ALWAYS omitted by critics): “Am I Christian? Of course I am. I believe in Christ. I talk of Christ. I pray through Christ. I'm trying to follow Him and live His gospel in my life.” There’s too many half truths shared here. Read the Book of Mormon and Bible fully and see if it’s all that’s it’s cracked up to be. It’s not replace the Bible. It’s a record of people who lived in ancient America who knew of Christ and they share their revelations and experiences of what they witnesses. Just another testament to prove that Jesus is the son of God. And back up the words of the holy Bible. It’s very interesting to hear a conversation about “Mormons” from people who aren’t Mormon lol it’s like asking a white guy what is the experience of being a black man. Or someone who is Islam explaining what Christians truly believe in. Go to the source, not a 3rd party lol Members of the church aren’t on the offensive making content going after other denominations, but we sure could. Being Christlike I guess is relative to some. Hopefully this helps some one out there
Joseph Smith wrote and taught so many things that outright contradict the Biblical revelation. On top of the fact that He made prophecies that didn't come to pass, he's clearly unreliable. That's why we talk about Mormonism in this context. The doctrine is significantly different from traditional Christianity.
That... they... believe in Jesus..? How is that not true? Regardless of your different interpretations of the Bible, I'm pretty sure they're still big fans of Jesus.
I lived in Utah for several years, just minutes away from BYU in a 90+% Mormon area. The spiritual oppression was palpable. Evangelical/Bible-believing Christians like myself made up less than 1% of the population in that area; there were more Buddhists than Christians there! Being part of a great Bible teaching fellowship--a church planted by a missionary pastor much like this man--was absolutely essential to maintaining my spiritual well-being as a believer. Thank you, sir, for your service to the people of Utah, who desperately need the Gospel!
Brother, as a professional photographer for over 40 years, You have the best lighting on a podcast EVER. ( Not discounting the content); But dang you look fantastic brother! That key light on the left, mixed with classic Rembrandt on the right is pure lighting magic! Kudos to the team.
Only ONE God. Isaiah 43:10 “You are My witnesses,” says the Lord, “And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed” Psalms 118:8-9 "It is better to trust in the Lord, than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord, than to put confidence in princes."
Please explain Jesus Baptism to me. Jesus is god right he is in the water? His father in heaven spoke to him and the holy ghost decended as a dove. NO how is this ONE PERSON ??? ALso on the cross Jesus is dying , he called out to His Father and asked why he had forsaken him (or had left him alone in his time of need) ??? How is Jesus the Father the same person ??? They are not. They are ONE in divine purpose . My wife and i are ONE. ARe we the same person ??? No but we are one in flesh at times as commanded by God in the bringing of children to this earth. WE are one in our desire to serve God. We are one in purpose. Your misinterpretation of scripture shows you have chosen some scripture to support a theology made of man as part of the nicean creed who had to describe what they believed God was without understanding as there was no PROPHET living on the earth.
54:14 yeah anyone who tells you you are going to outer darkness doesn’t know what they are talking about. Nobody knows who is going to outer darkness except those who are going. They get a special vision from God.
To all Mormons (Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) who happen to be watching for one reason or another: consider reading or watching "The Canker of Contention" by Russell m. Nelson from 1989 General Conference. To all Christian Cousins reading: consider 1 Timothy 6:3-5 (particularly 5) "from such withdraw thyself." If there's something that we may contend on, the Lord seems to prefer that we withdraw if we can't interact in an edifying manner.
Which church are true according to the Bible in this world? Because many churches are not true according to this scriptures, Matthew 7:21-23,Roman's 10;1-3,2Corintians 11:12-15,2thimoty 4:3-4, 2Peter 2:1-3, and what is Christmas, Goodfriday and Easter according to the Bible?
22:25 this is also a misunderstanding of our theology. Book of Abraham chapter 3 explains that our spirits are eternal. So Jesus is uncreated, and we are also uncreated as well. Jesus is the father of our creation in as much as he created the heavens and earth under the direction of the Father, and is therefore the father of our physical creation. But not spiritual. That comes with a change of heart or spiritual rebirth, or “baptism of the spirit”
@@cinnamondan4984 Read the Epistle to the Hebrews, friend. Jesus said to NOT swear ANY oaths, to NOT waste time on foolish genealogies, to NOT do any works in the names of the dead, to NOT participate in Levitical priesthoods and to NOT engage in temple worship or any form of Judaic ritual. Further, Jesus said there is NO marriage in heaven and that we become angels NOT Gods, so I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Mormons blaspheme Jesus’ teachings.
@@Elizabeth-rk3do Exactly. And angels certainly do not practice polygamy in the flesh in the afterlife. Only FALLEN angels mated with women. Mormons are practicing Babylonian nonsense.
Imagine the KKK comes to your house and one of them is black? 😨 😢 😰 It's already happened to me twice now and about to happen a third time. The true and living God never cursed anyone with dark skin. Dark skin can not turn white. 3 Nephi 2:15 *** It's hard to leave the culture. They are mocked, ridiculed and told that they have the spirit of the devil in them. They are told that they lose their salvation. Some lose their jobs. .......
I recommend Steven Hassan's book Combating Cult Mind Control. Fascinatingly enough, cults draw in the less intelligent as well as the highly intelligent.
Jehovah Witnesses are some of the least educated people in the world. It is easy to seduce the uneducated. It is understandable that ignorant people are easily duped. The LDS church is exactly opposite. They are extremely educated, and have the prestigious BYU as an example of their heritage. The LDS church is the 8th wonder of the world, because so many educated people are blinded by a con man like Joseph Smith. There is no evidence to support any of Joe Smith's outlandish claims, yet 16 million intelligent people follow the lies. It is amazing.
Spot on? 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Guess you weren't a Mormon for long. Even most ex-mo's making comments here are calling out the inaccurate content. Those 2 pastors didn't do their homework and instead produced blatant lies and twisted info for this video.
Satan sure is proud of the Apostates who became his minions. Keep up the bad work. You will receive your inheritance from your father, the devil. Hope you will be happy, not, because misery recruited misery.
@@jeffs4483 The trick is you are the one that satan already have as one of his minions because you are here carrying out his will to deny the words of God that says we are indeed little gods after our our creator. Meaning we can become like our Heavenly Father when we return to live with him in Heaven, eternally. If we are created in God’s image do we not look like our creator. Because of sin, we’ve fallen short of God’s glory. Aren’t we suppose to strive to be more like him, otherwise we default to satan. Satan will always come with his counterfeits as he knows he’s guaranteed to get people like you to be confused and instead deny God’s power thinking blindly. You see he’s very cunning and crafty. By denying God’s power, you automatically defaults to him. That’s exactly what you are doing right now. REPENT!!! It’s foolish to be calling God a liar when his words are very clear in the scriptures. PSALM 82: 6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. DANIEL 2: 47 The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.” 1 Corinthians 8: 5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) 6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. Our church didn’t invent what the scriptures already revealed. Pay attention to the upper case “G” (only 1 God) and the lower case “g”(gods many). Never should you speak of what you don’t understand and condemn and blaspheme on what is of God. It’s the trap of satan to have you deny and condemn things of God that you lack any spiritual understanding in at all. Because of your spiritual blindness, satan operates so well to lead the masses astray with carnal mindsets such as yours. Reject him and he will flee. You bear false witness against God. Don’t jeopardize your own Salvation because you seeing things through the eyes of flesh and not the spirit. 2Timothy 3:5 “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”KJV 2 TIMOTHY 4:3 “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” KJV 1 TIMOTHY 4: 1 “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;” KJV
The canard of Latter-day Saint chapels being ‘marked’ with crosses, has absolutely nothing to do with the church but is rather a tool used by the mapping companies to demonstrate the location of a church building, using a symbol that is familiar to most people who are searching.
@yolow69- You didn't learn much about Mormons from this video other than how to spread lies and hatred. Talk to an actual member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to find out the truth about us, instead of getting bigoted false information from anti-Mormon pastors. You also didn't learn from this video how to bring the Gospel and engage Latter-day Saints. These video has done great harm by driving Latter-day Saints away and further proving that hateful, self-righteous people cannot be trusted to be our friends.
The standard of truth has been erected. No unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished and the great Jehovah shall say the work is done. -Joseph Smith, 1842 ‐------------------------------------------------------- I absolutely love The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I bear witness that the true doctrine of Jesus Christ has been restored.
44:08 well to be “on par with scripture” it has to be canonized. We do have a couple documents that have been since the death of Joseph Smith. But few and far between any statement made by a president of the church is actually taken as seriously as holy writ. His counsel is useful for some for the time he says it. Like don’t watch porn. Pray more. Etc
As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints I’ve never once in my life been told we are not Christians by any leader in any capacity. Notice how Pastor Bryan doesn’t finish the quote he’s referring to. President Gordon B. Hinckley, responding to a question regarding whether Latter-day Saints believe in the “traditional Christ,” stated: No I don't. The traditional Christ of whom they speak is not the Christ of whom I speak. For the Christ of whom I speak has been revealed in this the dispensation of the fullness of times”. President Hinckley is referring to the concept of Christ that has developed in the centuries since the Nicene Creed was formed. He is saying that we do not believe in non-Biblical creeds. This statement is quite correct: Latter-day Saints do not have some of the same beliefs about Christ that other Christian churches do. He is not saying that we do not believe in the Biblical Christ. In fact, the reason that Latter-day Saints do not accept these creeds is because they are non-Biblical. President Hinckley continued (with words usually omitted by critics): Am I Christian? Of course I am. I believe in Christ. I talk of Christ. I pray through Christ. I'm trying to follow Him and live His gospel in my life. President Hinckley was quite clear in his position regarding Christ: “Are we Christians? Of course we are Christians. We believe in Christ. We worship Christ. We take upon ourselves in solemn covenant His holy name. The Church to which we belong carries His name. He is our Lord, our Savior, our Redeemer through whom came the great Atonement with salvation and eternal life”. These clowns know this is a lie and yet continue to be disingenuous. I don’t think they’re Christian. “For they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me”. This is what “Mormons”, “LDS” and members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints actually believe. We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost. These are some of my favorite Bible versus as we believe in the Old and New Testament. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: John 11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believes thou this? John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Matthew 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Jesus Christ is the Son of God. During His earthly ministry, Jesus taught His gospel and established His Church. Jesus called twelve Apostles and gave them authority to lead His Church. At the end of His life, Jesus atoned for our sins by His suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the cross. After Jesus’s death, He was resurrected. Because of Jesus’s atoning sacrifice, we can be forgiven and cleansed of our sins. This brings us peace and makes it possible for us to return to God’s presence and receive a fulness of joy. Because of Jesus, and only Jesus, we overcome physical and spiritual death. To answer Allen’s question, this is what we believe and what he does for us. Now time for everyone to tell me I’m in a “cult”.
This pastor doesn’t really know what he is talking about I will love to have a debate with him I was a Christian before before I convert to the lds .. and I will tell you , the water that Jesus offer to the lady by the wall that will satisfy her , I feel that in my life .
Amen! ❤ Jesus is the redeemer. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I have grown to know my Savior, to understand his will for me, I have become kinder, more charitable, a better wife and mother, and a list of many other fruits. I have found peace, and my disposition to do good and live by the example of Christ is continually growing. I repent daily, and thus my weaknesses are made strong. These are the fruits! Please don’t listen to this dishonesty. Come and see. ❤❤❤
You don’t seem to understand that it isn’t just believing in Christ. It is believing who Christ IS. You don’t seem to even understand what you don’t understand
I think it’s hilarious listening to the strawman arguments and characterizations anti-Mormon evangelicals attribute to church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It’s amazingly similar to listening to progressive leftists describe conservatives.
27:36 2nd Corinthians 12:2 Paul is actually not the one caught up to the third heaven. He says he knew a guy who was. And he says he knew a guy who went to paradise and heard unspeakable things not lawful to be uttered. Idk if he is talking about the same guy or not.
47:13 if anything it had more to do with the general authority stopping people from going to church, going to the temple. That rocked people’s faith. I personally felt the old ship Zion was being steered by fauci more than Christ at the time but what can you do. Then there are those who study secular church history. Podcasts critical of the church start popping up everywhere. It wasn’t just one thing.
Yes, I know one lifelong LDS woman who left the church because she was disillusioned by their submission to the medical establishment instead of their faith tenets.
With all due respect, that was not the purpose of that interview. It was to highlight what I believe is a biblical representation of the life of Jesus which is The Chosen. It wasn’t to debate Mormon beliefs.
Pastor Bryan, your statement is misleading at 6:00. The prophet would never say he is not a Christian. Unfortunately, you came up with that conclusion by trying to interpret something different from what was actually said. Gordon B. Hinckley is one of the kindest, wisest, and loving individuals I have ever learned from. Christ's restored gospel is once again on the earth. I invite all to find this out themselves by taking faith to explore the message of the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ taught from the message of the Book of Mormon and asking God, not man, not your pastor, not your neighbor, not even your friend who may be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints but to ask God. Understanding how God answers, what he will answer, how he communicates to us in different ways will help us recognize the answer to that prayer. There are so many voices out there that distract us, that deceive us, that cause many to miss the mark however through the power of the Holy Ghost we may know the truth of all things.
God has told me what the true, original gospel is. It's in I Corinthians 15:1-4. Christ has already done the one work that was necessary to reconcile us to God when he shed his blood on the cross, died, and rose again. Like the thief on the cross, all anyone needs to do is repent of their sins and put their faith in what Jesus Christ has already done for them. ✝️ 💕 Jesus Christ never required anyone to believe the Book of Mormon is true, join a church, tithe, go through a worthiness interview, earn forgiveness, get a temple recommend,go through an Endowment Ceremony, learn secret grips, tokens, signs, handshakes, and passwords, do temple work, wear temple garments, etc.. You can trust Jesus. 🕊
It has taken me several days to listen to this all the way through, due to busyness on my part. I am from an area of California with a high Mormon population (not nearly as high as Utah, but pretty high). All my life, it was understood that Mormonism was a different religion than Christianity. Then, in the late 90's, when I was in community college, I had a lot of Mormon classmates and professors, and they all claimed to be Christian, and it totally confused me (I had come from a Christian high school, and later went to a Bible college) . That time at community college was my only "secular" education, and the indoctrination into Mormonism was the biggest culture shock--a lot more than the liberal or worldly stuff in the system. I was familiar with a lot of the info in this video, but it was still really interesting, and good reminders. Great presentation.
There's no dunking going on here. Aside from a few unimportant details, everything he says about Mormonism is accurate. By the way, to "dunk on" someone is to display your own superior skill or knowledge with the intent to show off. It doesn't mean what you seem to think it means.
MORMON’S IMPOSSIBLE GOSPEL Moroni 10:32 “IF you deny yourselves of ALL ungodliness… THEN is his grace sufficient for you.” Did you notice the IF / THEN statement? That’s a conditional statement. So - how much ungodliness do you need to get rid of? Some? Most of? 60%? Moroni 10:32 states you need to deny “ALL” ungodliness. What are you if you get rid of ALL ungodliness? Perfect. Now, we know it’s impossible to be perfect without grace - and yet, according to this scripture grace doesn’t start until AFTER you are perfect. This means grace is unattainable for Mormons. - The Book of Mormon has other passages which support this: 2 Nephi 25:23 “We are saved by grace, AFTER all we can do.” When do you get the grace? Have you done all that you can do? Have you ever had 1 day in your whole life where you did all you could do? You couldn’t have prayed another minute? So - can anyone ever be saved??? - Mormon scripture is consistent about this: Alma 11:37 “And I say unto you again, that he cannot save them in their sins. For I cannot deny his word, and ye have said no unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of heaven. Therefore how can you be saved except you enter the kingdom of heaven? Therefore you cannot be saved in your sins.” That’s like saying you’ve got to get out of the water before I’m going to save you from drowning. The Christian Jesus isn’t a swimming coach - He’s a lifeguard. If they say, “it just means do your best” - no: First Nephi 3:7 “And it came to pass that I nee-phi said unto my father , “I will go and do the things which the Lord has commanded. For I know that the Lord giveth no commandment unto the children of men save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commanded them.”” Is it possible for the Mormon god to give you a command you can’t keep? Did he tell you to deny yourself of ALL ungodliness? Did he tell you to do all you can do? Did he tell you you can’t be saved in your sins? If they say, I’m doing the best I can - then ask - does it say Do the best you can? So - can anyone be saved? Read the whole chapter of Alma 34. Which says you have to have repented of ALL sin before you die, otherwise you will be sealed to Satan. AND: a reminder: Moroni 10:32 “IF you deny yourselves of ALL ungodliness… THEN is his grace sufficient for you.” This is confirmed by: Doctrines and Covenants 82:7 “And now, verily I say unto you, I, the Lord, will not lay any sin to your charge; go your ways and sin no more; BUT UNTO THAT SOUL WHO SINNETH SHALL THE FORMER SINS RETURN, saith the Lord your God.” Doctrines and Covenants 82:9-10 “I give unto you directions how you may act before me, that it may turn to you for your salvation. I, the Lord, am bound when ye do what I say; BUT WHEN YE DO NOT WHAT I SAY, YE HAVE NO PROMISE.“ Under those conditions - who can be saved??? --------- Moroni 10:32 “IF you deny yourselves of ALL ungodliness… THEN is his grace sufficient for you.” 2 Nephi 25:23 “We are saved by grace, AFTER all we can do.” ----------- Also: "Trying is not sufficient. Nor is repentance complete when one merely tries to abandon sin," Spencer Kimball 12th President of LDS Church), The Miracle of Forgiveness, p150 The book just quoted, ‘THE MIRACLE OF FORGIVENESS,’ by Spencer Kimball (12th President and Prophet of the LDS Church) is approved and recommended by multiple LDS leaders: Ezra Taft Benson (13th President of LDS Church) urged all church members "to read and reread President Spencer Kimball's book." (from ‘In His Steps’ 1988). LDS Church apostle Richard G. Scott called ‘The Miracle of Forgiveness’ a "masterly work" (‘Peace of Conscience and Peace of Mind, 2004) and “a superb guide.” (Finding Forgiveness, 1995).
@SpielbergMichael Read Matt 5:48 The Savior is asking you to deny yourselves of all ungodliness by this... "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." Matt 5:48 We can only be perfect through the Savior & we can only deny ungodliness through him as well. It is two different ways of saying the same thing. Only the Savior was perfect, he would not ask us to do something that can not be done in Matt 5:48. "With God all things are possible." Matt 19
@@Rodney_tubeviewHello there friend, I’m afraid you have completely misunderstood the sermon on the Mount. That’s not necessarily your fault, there are bad translations, and also you could have been lead into the wrong understanding by bad teachers. When Jesus said: “Therefore you shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” Matthew 5:48 NASB2020 He was NOT saying you must be perfect, and must obey perfectly. In short, what the sermon on the Mount is actually saying is: God’s standard is far too high, and is sinful humans can never reach it - but thankfully there is a way to God through Jesus. In Matthew 5:48 Jesus is talking about what will happen in the future, not saying we have to obey perfectly to be saved. “For by one offering He has PERFECTED for all time those who are sanctified.” Hebrews 10:14 NASB2020 That’s why the New Testament is full of statements like these: “For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from works” Romans 3:28 “But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace.” Romans 11:6 “For it is by GRACE you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the GIFT of God- NOT BY WORKS” Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that NOT OF YOURSELVES; it is the gift of God, NOT OF WORKS, lest anyone should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9 NKJV If I give you a gift, do you have to do anything after that to have it? ---- The Mormon Gospel is a different Gospel to the one given in the New Testament. The Mormon Gospel is a works based gospel - and, as I showed in my first comment, according to Mormon scriptures, you don’t get ANY grace until AFTER you have rid yourself perfectly of all sin and performed various works. I could literally quote dozens and dozens of New Testament verses which categorically contradict the Mormon works based (earn your own salvation) Gospel: “But to the one who does NOT work, but believes in Him who justifies the UNGODLY, his faith is credited as righteousness,” Romans 4:5 “But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy,” Titus 3:4-5 “but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.” (of obedience or by your life of obedience, which is it?) Romans 5:8-10 “For as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous.” Romans 5:19
@@SpielbergMichael Wait Friend are you telling me that you have the original copy that Matthew wrote himself? You holding out on the one & only copy in the World directly from Apostle Matthew?! WHY?! You Must really not like the Apostle James. James speaks of Faith & Works in James chapter 1 & 2. You did not quote him once. We are save by the Free Gift of Grace & you gave many examples quotes on Grace, Thanks. James speaks on how Faith in God will lead us to do Faithful Deeds for God. "So you see, we are shown to be right with God by what we do, not by faith alone." (James 2: 24) James does let us know that In the Lords Church aka Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints we are Saved by Grace in Jame 4. Can you quote dozens of Verses in James an Apostle of the Lord & tell me that Faith alone is a requirement? Church of Jesus Christ of LDS are saved by Grace & we hear what the Savior said to the Disciples, “If you love me, obey my commandments."(John 14:15) James teaches that Faith and Works for God are on the same Good side of how to Follow the Savior.
@@Rodney_tubeview Dear friend, I will try to reply properly but it's difficult to in these brief comments. I would really love to sit down with you and chat - I'm sure you're a nice person. There's just so much I'd like to present to you. First of all, you wrote: "are you telling me that you have the original copy that Matthew wrote himself? You holding out on the one and only copy in the world directly from the Apostle Matthew?!" No, please read my comment again. I didn't say anything like that. I quoted the NASB2020 (which is widely considered the best literal word for word translation: "Therefore you **SHALL** be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect." Matthew 5:48 NASB2020 It's widely translated this way: "You **SHALL** be perfect, therefore, as your Heavenly Father is perfect." Matthew 5:48 Berean Literal Translation "Therefore you **SHALL** be perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." Matthew 5:48 NKJV "Therefore you **SHALL** be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect." Matthew 5:48 NASB "You, therefore, **WILL** be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect." Matthew 5:48 AMP "Ye therefore **SHALL** be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect." Matthew 5:48 ASV "Ye therefore **SHALL** be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect." Matthew 5:48 ERV "You **WILL** be perfect, as your Father who in the heavens is perfect." Matthew 5:48 Literal Standard Version "Ye **SHALL** therefore be perfect, as your Father who is in the heavens is perfect." Matthew 5:48 Young's Literal Translation "Therefore you** SHALL** be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect." Matthew 5:48 World English Bible These are *LITERAL* translations of the Greek. Jesus is clearly NOT giving an order/instruction - no, He is giving a prediction of what He is going to do for us. All of New Testament Scripture supports this: Hebrews tells us that Jesus did it for us: "For by ONE offering He has **PERFECTED** for all time those who are sanctified." Hebrews 10:14 By you saying you perfect yourself, or help to perfect yourself, you are DENYING Jesus' ONE offering is good enough. You are denying Christ and saying you don't want His offering applied to you. "For as through one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the ONE the many will be made righteous." Romans 5:19 Humans don't make themselves righteous: Jesus (the ONE) does that for us! Sinful humans CAN'T do anything to prefect themselves - anything we try to do to save ourselves UNCLEAN to God: Isaiah 64:6 says our righteous deeds are FILTHY UNCLEAN RAGS to God In Philippians 3:8 the Apostle Paul said he counted all of his righteousness before he knew Christ as UNCLEAN DUNG/EXCREMENT. There is no 'good work' you can do BEFORE you are saved. Any good work you try to do may appear good to you, but to God it is UNCLEAN and unacceptable. ----------------------- Side note: even if you take other translations of Matthew 5:48, they still don't mean what you say it means: "But you are to be perfect, even as your Father is perfect." Matthew 5:48 NLT That can still be interpreted as a prediction of what is going to happen for us. "You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect." Matthew 5:48 ESV That can still be interpreted as, for example, a parent telling their child "You must have a school uniform to go to school - so therefore I will buy you one and provide you with one." -------------------------- Your comment suggests you think this interpretation of the sermon on the mount is strange or unique to me. I think as a Mormon you have just been sheltered in your Mormon 'bubble' and haven't heard the widely held Christian understanding. This is the interpretation widely taught/understood by most Christians - even in different denominations - for example Dr. Michael Brown (a Charismatic) teaches this, and so did R C Sproul (who was Reformed). ------------------- About the book of James - I love the book of James. I will send you another comment about James (because this comment is already very long). The book of James completely supports everything I have told you. You have a huge self0defeating problem because if your interpretation of James was true, it would mean there are hundreds of contradictions in the New Testament because the rest of the New Testament repeatedly clearly states salvation is NOT BY WORKS. But I have no problem because James doesn't contradict anything in the New Testament - and I'm afraid, just as you misunderstand the Sermon on the Mount, you also hugely misunderstand James.
GOOOD timing, In light of a few atrocious child abuse/murder cases by Mormon women in the news, I wanted to revisit this cult and listen to the false ideologies of these women that perpetrate these crimes! Thank you for this interview!
You should know that's sensationalized fake news. Those cases have nothing to do with the church. There are more Latter-day Saints than Jews (17 million), just by pure random chance some of them are going to end up being criminals. When you actually look at demographic data, Latter-day Saints are the happiest, most well adjusted, most generous, and least criminally inclined of all christian groups. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches against murder and abuse in all forms, you are never less of a disciple of Christ than when you are abusing your fellow children of God. To quote the Book of Mormon "When you are in the service of your fellow beings, you are only in the service of your God."
Not an active Mormon here, never really practiced it myself, honestly... I have not read the Book of mormon actually. I just gotta say this, though, there have been many atrocious acts done by many of ppl from all religions, theists and secular. Get off your high horse; by your comment I can tell you feel yourself to be superiorin your beliefs. There are good and bad ppl in all things, all walks of life. As a whole most "Mormons" I know are highly rational, kind and generous beings. One thing I have always known about them is that they do believe in Jesus Christ (I always heard more about Christ than I did of Joseph Smith), and I have always thought of them as Christian cause that is what I was raised to know them as. They have a strong sense of family and service, and that is admirable. This is a horrid thing on the right and now I see "Christians," you all have to be right and better than the others... what matter in the end is our relationship with Christ, thats what I understand. Only thing I really remember of Joseph Smith was that he was trying to find out which Christian chirch was the "true" church, a question that resonates with me for sure... there are so many and what are the differences. Hmm.
30:12 let me give you an example. Paul is on the road to Damascus and receives the theophany of Jesus. He says he goes to the wilderness to be taught for 3 years by the Lord. When he comes back, he preaches that there is no Jesus Christ. It’s all a damned lie and not to believe the gospel. He would be what we call a Son of Perdition. One who had perfect knowledge and crucified Jesus afresh. He would be cast into outer darkness with the devil and his angels.
Revelation 21:8 All liars will have their part in the lake which burns with fire. God standards are much higher than man's. Everyone is on their way to hell. Romans 3 There is none righteous, no not one. It is only by the grace of God that anyone gets into heaven. Christ said that few people would get into heaven. Matthew 7:13-14 Jesus Christ doesn't follow the teachings of the LDS church.
@@Elizabeth-rk3do I agree with Revelation 21:8. The Lake of Fire is not outer darkness. Matthew 7:13-14 is talking about the way that leads to life. I am curious how you interpret revelation 20:12-15. The sea, death and Hell, release their dead to be judged out of the books, according to their works. Why is the Bible teaching that man is judged by his works?
@kcbutts2724 Unbelievers are judged by their works. The works of the LDS church consist of: Idolatry- the worship of an exalted man from another planet that had to work his way to Godhood, lives near a star named Kolob, practices polygamy, is the literal father of Jesus Christ, damns people who deny the eternal principle of polygamy (D&C 132), and threatened to destroy Emma if she didn't abide by her husband's adultery. (D&C 132:54, 64) Blasphemy - Mocking Jesus Christ and saying that Christ is a created being the brother of Satan. Mocking God the Father and saying he practices polygamy and one of his wives is your mother in the pre-existence. Lying - Christ requires 10% of your income, a worthiness interview, confession of sins to a bishop, a temple recommend, an Endowment Ceremony, put on Lucifer's power and priesthoods, learn secret grips, tokens, signs, handshakes, and passwords, make a blood oath, get married, do temple work, etc. Yes. You will be judged by these works. Like a criminal, you won't be judged on all the good things you have done but on all the wrong things you have done.
I live in an even more Mormon place than SLC. I am in SE Idaho. I am just minutes from Rexburg and this is a good video. For a few years now I have had a near impossible time witnessing to them. They are adapting Christin lingo into their own beliefs. But many times they mean something different. So be careful. I can state something they very much used to believe and not they will get mad and say "don't tell me what I believe " and usually shuts down discussions. So this gentleman is correct is saying to ask what they believe on different subjects. I knew they changed thier google maps listing to crosses already. Even something as simple as tithes is complex with them. (They believe they have Levites) So to witness to them you need to work hard at building a trusting relationship with them and over time you can pick little things apart in thier beliefs. But do it with love, if you attack thier religion, they are done talking to you.
I don't think any LDS would accept what you are saying simply because of the title of your video. As a Biblical Christian who, like you, I would not use that word Satanic. Is there another word that you could use that may also get their attention in a better view and still say what you mean to say, like " the truth of mormonism vs biblical christianity." Using "Satanic" in the title may deter so many of them from watching and learning. That being said I do find this video educational and very helpful in understanding more about their church. and I thank you for this.
I understand what you mean. However, I have come to believe that the anti-Christ spirit rules this religion, and many others. In this case, it is Satanic.
@@TimothyBerman Not everyone is like that though. There are many who are deceived into believing all of this and they are guilted into following in line. I have learned that from watching videos of people who have left and instead of going into Christianity they fall into Atheism. So the gospel is so important and if the title is offensive then they are not going to watch this video because they are taught and told not to watch anything that looks to be "anti-mormon". Paul says that in all things we need to show the truth in love no matter what the person is like.
Beautiful conversation ✅ insightful and enjoyable ✅ thank you both 🙋🏿♂️ Prayers out for those in the church out Jesus Christ of the latter day saints🕊️ His grace and mercy be upon you all and your loved ones 🕊️🥛🍯
This was loving, thoroughly done with gentle voices, no erratic interruptions, no time crunch rush. Thank you. No bashing, just concerning care and explaining. Mormon friends… give it a chance to listen please. ❤ Peace to all in Christ Jesus of Nazareth our Redeemer and Savior God ❤
Satan is a fallen Angel so how can he be our brother? If Jesus and Satan were our brother we should love Satan and he should be able to repent., but that is not the case… I hope the scales fall off their eyes. Satan has them hostage. Share the Truth in love Christian soldiers.
Yes but Angels are not Humans or Spirits they are on a different level. If Satan is an angel and he is our brother, that would make us angels as well. Unreal.
Hi, Latter-Day Saint here. I can explain what we believe about that. We believe that Jesus and Satan are both our brothers, and that we all lived with God before we came to Earth. God told us about His plan for us to come to Earth to gain physical bodies and experience. Satan tried to usurp Jesus Christ’s role in the plan, was denied, and rebelled against God. He chose to reject God while in His very presence, committing the unforgivable sin. There is no repentance from that. He is damned eternally based on his own choices. And for angels, we do believe that they are people in a different state of existence, as when Moses appeared to Christ and the apostles in the Mount of Transfiguration. Normally we consider the word “angel” to be a servant of God who has died and not been resurrected yet, but angel can be used in a broader context to included people who have been resurrected or translated, and sometimes people who weren’t born yet appeared as angels. But they are all people, all children of God the way we are.
Jesus is our elder brother, in the sense that Jesus Christ is a man. It's in the New Testament. (They will bring this up.) Jesus Christ was also God in the flesh.
@emiliegossage923 Thanks. According to the Bible, God created angels first. Job 38:1-7 Angels are men, do not procreate, and are incorporeal. They are spirits. They are messengers of God. Satan and his followers sinned once and were immediately sentenced to eternal torment in hell. Jesus Christ never died on the cross for angels/demons. (Some demons sinned so egregiously in the days of Noah that they were immediately imprisoned. I Peter 3:19-20. Jesus declared his victory over them. They never repented.) Unlike angels, human beings are made in the image of God. Of course, God the Father is invisible and a spirit. I Timothy 1:17; Colossians 1:15; Hebrews 11:27; We are made in the image of God in the sense that we can commune with our Creator . We are made in the image of God mentally, morally, and socially.
No angel is supposed to be our brother. That was not and is not God’s design and purpose for angels. We do not fellowship with them. We do not worship with them. They have roles defined by God and our relationship with any of them, let alone one called Satan, are not the same as our relationship with fellow disciples.
I always ask my Mormon friends about Christ as a created being. I ask them how a piece of fallen creation can redeem the whole. If Christ is not THE creator how can he redeem creation? If he is just us then how does his sacrifice in the cross work?
Jesus lived a perfect life, that's how he was able to atone for all of us. He was not fallen, he just lived in a fallen world for a time. Just like the lambs that were used as a sacrifice under the law of Moses to represent Jesus were "without spot", so too, was Jesus without spot.
@MRRANDOMZ11 The Creator can not be part of the creation. The person who makes a cake can not be part of the cake. The person who builds a car must exist independently and outside of the car. The person who builds a house must exist independently and outside of the house. Whoever created the universe must exist independently and outside of the universe. ✨️ God did not come from another planet. God doesn't live near a star named Kolob. God doesn't practice polygamy.
@Elizabeth-rk3do I legit built my own house and I live in it just fine. Sorry, but that argument makes zero sense to me. You don't think God the Father had a hand in making our world? So he has to just sit it out? Nah, he's involved in everything we do just like Jesus. To say otherwise puts a limit on God's capability
@@LajRa5 Drywall and stucco can't build a house. Only someone who exists independently of the house can build the house. God can not possibly be a human being. Human beings can not speak a universe into existence from nothing, ✨️ create a human being out of the dust of the ground and Eve out of Adam's rib, know the names of all the billions of trillions of stars (Psalm 147:4), know how many hairs are on the heads of over 8 billion people at all times, raise the dead and raise themselves from the dead as Christ did (John 2:19). You can not even make a blade of grass out of nothing or speak a pizza into existence. You are vastly inferior to your Creator. No Latter-day Saint will ever become a god.
At around 22:26: Yes, we mormons believe there is god the father, and God the son- 2 very distinct personages- and the Bible proves it. What did Jesus himself say to Mary, at the tomb? "Touch me not, for I have not yet ascended to my father, and to your father; and to my god, and your god". Proving that we have the very same father of our spirit, as jesus does; and that he worships the very same god that we do- which statement makes us literal brothers and sisters to Jesus, in our spiritual creation, or in our spiritual bodies, when we were first created, in what is known as the pre-existence. What is so hard to understand about that teaching, or displeasing?
Research the translation and see if it has been translated correctly so you can refute them. Start at Deuteronomy 32:8-9. First read your Bible and then see what was in the early manuscript we have of the bible, the Septuagint.
@blgreen because some of us have studied textual criticism and how the translation of the Old and New Testament came to be, reading Biblical scholarship in peer review journals, and seeing how the Masoretes redacted much of the Old Testament. Something that is confirmed by the Dead Sea Scrolls and the much earlier translation of the LXX/Septuagint.
I’m in AZ too. Queen Creek. My wife and I left Mormonism. My family was very disappointed and now I try to share the true gospel to them but it’s very touchy slow process. Especially my mother. She at least understands Now and is happy we are happy but she can’t get past her own feelings.
One of the biggest blasphemies for me is saying God was once a man like us that ascended to godhood. They believe one day they can be gods too. That’s exactly what Satan believes, Satan wants to usurp God. And the fact that they consider Jesus and Satan spirit brothers is making Satan equal with Jesus and God. Don’t get me started on how this thinking (along with secret handshakes to get into heaven) is related to Joseph Smith being a Freemason.
Lilteepot: "One of the biggest blasphemies for me is saying God was once a man like us that ascended to godhood." The only problem with that criticism is that we members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints do not believe that, and are not taught that. I have been a member for 46 years. We members believe we are the Spirit children of our Heavenly Father. Hebrews 12:9 (AKJV) "Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?" "Jesus and Satan spirit brothers is making Satan equal with Jesus and God." No, it does not! Revelation 12:7 (AKJV) "And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Isaiah 14:12 (AKJV) How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the amost High. 15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit."
@@dleoburns Why are you misrepresenting our beliefs? I am also a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I've been a member LONGER than you have. For some reason, it has become _fashionable_ for members of the Church to think they are defending the Church by going around denying this DOCTRINE. You're really not helping matters by showing yourself to be a deceiver. And the Prophet, Gordon B. Hinckley didn't help matters when he told an interviewer "I don't know that we teach that." When he did know that we _BELIEVE_ that. He was just playing games using his careful wording by saying "teach that." The game playing needs to stop. You know very well that the Prophet Joseph Smith preached the King Follet Sermon (aka a Discourse) in 1844 at General Conference. In that Sermon he taught that God, our Father, is an exalted man. As man now is, God once was: As God now is, man may become. Subsequent Prophets have all taught us that our goal in life is to live well enough that we can obtain exaltation. We have a unique religion. Be Proud of it. Brigham Young taught this John Taylor taught this Wilford Woodruff taught this and on and on Summary: All the Prophets since Joseph Smith have taught this, and it is the meaning of the word "Exaltation." So what if others don't understand. That's their problem. You're not going to convert anyone to the Church by deceiving them into starting out in the church where they will certainly see and hear the word "Exaltation" used. You should be proud of our beliefs. There are many beautiful teachings. We should OWN them, and not go around trying to fool people into thinking we are just like them by denying our Doctrines. For others who are reading this, look up the LDS Hymn "If you Could Hie to Kolob." It's a very beautiful hymn. And, so what if we believe God was once a man? Eternity is a long, long time. What do you think YOU will be doing for Eternity? In Mormonism you get to progress Eternally. You get to grow, and learn always. You change and become better and better over time. After a long Eternity of becoming Better and Better and progressing and improving constantly you become good enough to graduate. So you get your own planet. What's wrong with that?

eclipse-sh1qmZ3mOtcua: “David Burns Why are you misrepresenting our beliefs?” “For some reason, it has become fashionable for members of the Church to think they are defending the Church by going around denying this DOCTRINE.” I do not believe you know what the Doctrine is. Have you ever even heard of the Standard Works of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? I would direct you to Doctrine & Covenants/Introduction/paragraph #3: “The book of Doctrine and Covenants is one of the standard works of the Church in company with the Holy Bible, the Book of Mormon, and the Pearl of Great Price.” I would ask you where the King Follet Sermon (aka a Discourse) is found in the Standard Works. “A full, verbatim account of the speech does not exist, but notes exist, taken contemporaneously, by Thomas Bullock (using a type of personal shorthand), William Clayton (writing in longhand), and Willard Richards (taking "minute"-style notes of major elements of the speech).[3] Wilford Woodruff also took extensive contemporaneous notes and transferred the notes to his journal with editorializations, but his original notes were not preserved.[3] One author (Searle) estimates that the surviving notes of the sermon contain roughly 30% of the words of the actual address, but that together, they are likely nearly topically complete.[4]” [Wikipedia/King Follett discourse/Text] What did Joseph Smith, Jr. say about the final estate of those who inherited exaltation in the Celestial Kingdom? Doctrine & Covenants 132:20 “Then shall they be gods, because they have no end; therefore shall they be from everlasting to everlasting, because they continue; then shall they be above all, because all things are subject unto them. Then shall they be gods, because they have all power, and the angels are subject unto them.” This is consistent with Biblical teachings. Psalm 82:6 (AKJV) “I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.” John 10:34 (AKJV) “Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?” Hebrews 12:9 (AKJV) “Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?” “Dallin H. Oaks explains: "Revelations from God ... are not constant. We believe in continuing revelation, not continuous revelation. We are often left to work out problems without the dictation or specific direction of the Spirit."[14] Thus, the current prophet can clarify, correct or change any previous teachings.[15] However, once a doctrine has been accepted by the church by "common consent", it becomes part of the standard works, and then takes precedence over any other revelation.[16] Members of the LDS church only consider themselves bound by doctrine found in the standard works.[17]” [Wikipedia/Revelation in Mormonism/Inspired vs. infallible.]
This video is just one of thousands, if not more that have exposed the error of many false religions, LDS is but one of those. I believe the following: Sola scriptura (Latin for 'by scripture alone') is a Christian theological doctrine held by most Protestant Christian denominations. Any other Book does an injustice to Him and those who seek Him. Tradition and what church you attend or building you have services in fall far short of the inspired Holy Bible. There's a difference between inspired by God and Man's religion.
Jack N. McDickleday is my favorite youtuber making videos on this exact subject. So much great insight. His videos are kind of hard to find and I'm not sure I got the spelling right. Ask your bible group the next chance you get, I'm sure someone will know about him. Shalom! 🕊️
@@BFOJ0000 Sola scriptura robs you of the organisation that Jesus was head of. He called apostles. he gave them authority. Where does one who relies Soley on the bible get their authority ??? Bible is clear no man can take on the authority of god themselves. Men who tried to steady the ark of the covenant with no authority died. Jesus went to John the baptist to be baptised as he held the keys of baptism and the aaronic priesthood. Mans religion is one without his authority therefore if you base your authority on mans interpretation of scripture with no living prophet, no priesthood then who is really following the interpretations of man?
Allen, you say in the first minute how much you LOVE us, and want to RESPECT us, and then you LOVE this comment that calls us FRAUDS? What does this say about you?
In terms of what he says about works, it's important to note that in Christianity salvation isn't achieved by works, it is a free gift of God by faith through grace. But once saved we are called to do good works. One of the biggest passages that points this out is the great commission which says, "go into all the world making disciples of all men, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit". Works has its place in Christianity, it's just not something that is required for salvation and forgiveness.
Yes, after we are saved, we are now rooted in Christ. So, we are able to bear good fruit in the form of good works. Before we are saved, we are technically incapable of doing good works because we aren’t rooted in Christ.
@Steve_P_B you are aware that Paul also says we are saved by Hope in Romans 8:24-27; and that we are also saved by reconciliation Romans 5:10, and that we are saved by the preaching of the Gospel 1 Corinthians 1:21. So, tell me again how Sola Gratia and Sola Fide are Biblical? Or is Paul confused and ignorant of what he is teaching? Or are you just plain illiterate of how to properly interpret and understand scripture?
@@TimothyBerman You are missing the point, hope is not works, salvation is not by works, but works comes as a product of being saved. Read Ephesians 2 Ephesians 2:8-10 [8] For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God- [9] not the result of works, so that no one may boast. [10] For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life. We are saved by grace through faith, but once saved we are called to good works As for preaching, that's not what 1 Corinthians 1:21 says at all 1 Corinthians 1:21 NRSV [21] For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, God decided, through the foolishness of our proclamation, to save those who believe. We are not saved through us preaching but rather others are saved because we share the gospel with them through preaching and they believe in the gospel.
I am not at all missing the point because, unlike you relying on typical Eisegesis interpretation and talking points, I understand exactly what Paul is talking about here. He is not talking about grace only and faith only that is a byproduct and doctrinal introduction from the Protestant Reformation.
What gives any Christian (or non-Christian) person or denomination the right to apply or deny the label “Christian” to any other denomination? Show me where in the Bible this definition is created or enforced? In the most basic definition, a Christian is someone who is a follower of Jesus Christ. Following Christ by embodying both the beliefs of the Christian faith by believing in Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection (orthodoxy), and also by putting that faith into action as true disciples of Christ (orthopraxy). Furthermore, the word Christian is used three times in the Bible (Acts 11:26; Acts 26:28; 1 Peter 4:16). In each instance the Greek word Christianos is used, which is defined Biblically as a follower of Christ (2). The word Christ, which is the root of the world Christian, is defined as the Messiah or anointed One, referring to Jesus Christ (3). I’d say if you’re really following the Bible as truth and right, then Mormons (members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) would clearly fall into the category of Christian based on scripture. Look in your own hearts, focus on your own salvation rather than attacking others who are only trying to do the same. You don’t ever see Mormons attacking other denominations, or trying to enforce their own made up definition of who can be in the cool kids club.
@@danreich4320 I find cult to be a reductive and obfuscated term, so I would only use it in an anthropological context wherein it refers to “A system or community of religious worship and ritual.”
The one question I think I would ask a Mormon is why the "restoration " was necessary if Jesus is true (The Truth) and the Holy Spirit is not a failure? Specifically, the Restoration of the church? If the true gospel was no longer being preached and the true church had gone extinct sometime after the 1st century, that would make Jesus a liar and the Holy Sprit a failure. "John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever-" "Matthew 28:20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen."
Because they are the Synagogue of Satan The seed of the serpent The ADVERSARY THOSE CHOSEN BY GOD TO BRING ABOUT THE END JUDGMENT UPON THE EARTH A judgment of Lawlessness TERROR AND UNCEASING BLOODSHED
Yeah I’m also confused by that. Jesus was the restoration - He restored dead sinners to life, He restored us to a right relationship with God, He sent us the Holy Spirit. What more do we need/want?
AWW8472: Acts 3:20 (AKJV) "And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: 21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began."
I'm in Canada and found myself in Alberta which is right above the area of Utah. It's beautiful here in comparison to where I am from (Ontario near NY). The sun shines 333 days of the year. There are many mormons here. I was just approached by one the other day who said the Mormon church has done great things for her family which is what many Catholics tell me as well. So even though they may not fully know Jesus they love being Mormon. I hope to continue my way across this great land and make my way into the states one day and speak to the many people. God' love must be shared. God Bless.
18:30 I got stopped my Mormon missionaries on campus the other day, asked them if they believe this exact thing about being saved after all we can do and they denied it. It seems that some articles online from LDS are also trying to explain this away as it's so obviously problematic (eg. by saying "after" actually means "in spite of"). Is the official Mormon teaching changing or were they trying to trick me?
They may be trying to change things. I met with some Mormon missionaries last year and they tryed to downplay that verse aswell. They believe they have a prophet and other leadership that can still write Scripture and doctrine so Mormon doctrine is never static. Something could always change.
@@thebeatagp I see 2 Nephi 25:23 used as proof that we believe in a works based salvation. I think this is wrong. Before we can understand this passage we need to understand Nephi and his time period. He is of the house of Israel living 600 years before Christ under the law of Moses. The rest of the chapter after that is all about the law of Moses. Vs 24 we keep the law of Moses, and look forward with steadfastness unto Christ, Vs 25 wherefore the law hath become dead unto us, and we are made alive in Christ Vs 27 Wherefore, we speak concerning the law that our children may know the deadness of the law; and they, by knowing the deadness of the law, may look forward unto that life which is in Christ, Vs 28 the right way is to believe in Christ and deny him not; for by denying him ye also deny the prophets and the law Vs 30 inasmuch as it shall be expedient, ye must keep the performances and ordinances of God until the law shall be fulfilled which was given unto Moses. Therefore it is my understanding that Nephi is saying he and his posterity are saved by Grace after the law of Moses. (The law of Moses is all Nephi can do). He recognizes he is saved by Grace not the law of Moses. Nephi is testifying that his works don’t save him. I am saved by Jesus’ Grace. He has offered himself a sacrifice for my sin. He has fulfilled the demands of Justice against me for my disobedience. I now want to follow him with my whole heart which includes turning away from all my sin and entering into his covenants which he has restored through the prophet Joseph Smith. It is my desire to follow Jesus that keeps me in the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
@maxxiong Context is so important. Please read the whole chapter. Using 2 Nephi 25:23 to say we believe in a works based salvation would be like saying Philippians 2:12 teaches a works based salvation. If that’s all you ever heard from the Bible you would think it teaches works based salvation. Similarly if you only read 2 Nephi 25:23 you will also believe the Book of Mormon teaches a works based salvation.
@seanwilson The gospel of Christ was a Mystery = Romans 16:25,26/ Ephesians 6:19. Nobody knew about Jesus death burial and resurrection before His death in the Bible. But the book of Mormon teaches that the gospel of Christ was preached before Jesus death, which is not true. The book of Mormons teaches lies.
Washington DC would not allow Utah to gain statehood unless they stopped polygamy (Utah was a Mexican territory at the time). Then, poof!, the "prophet" had a revelation from God saying they no longer were to practice polygamy. Quite the coincidence wouldn't you say?
And now, my sons, remember, REMEMBER that it is upon the rock of OUR REDEEMER, who is CHRIST, the Son of God, that ye must BUILD YOUR FOUNDATION; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they CANNOT FALL.
Thank you for this - very helpful. Just one thing - I don’t believe we can be true ‘friends’ with a Mormon. Yes, we must be kind, respectful, caring etc., speaking the Truth in love and showing the love and light of Jesus to all, but friendship is not possible. James 4;4
Wow. What an interpretation of James 4:4! Rather it is about eschewing the world and worldly things. But, noted…. This attitude really attracts one to your exclusive faith! Not. Who was it who said “ Love thy enemies”…if that’s what you want to label the LDS. I believe it was Jesus Christ himself.
Kingdom of the Cults by Dr. Walter Martin is a must read. Unfortunately most Christians are unprepared for the cults twisted doctrines and changed word meanings.
You should know that both this video and that book are full of false anti-mormon propaganda. Talk to actual Latter-day Saints, they don't believe most of this stuff.
@@KnuttyEntertainment oh no? so you believe Isaiah 43:10? Or do you believe others have or ever could attain godhood? Before him there was no other, nor will there ever be after.... we both know you believe others have and can attain Godhood...this is blasphemy
Yes, that book is YOUR scripture, and that MAN is your prophet. It is because of these kinds of things that you feel "most Christians are unprepared..." All I can suggest is to not be a lazy learner, but dig deeper and study ALL things out, including the Book of Mormon. Don't be afraid of God. Don't be afraid of being curious and studying things. College is like this too.
@@grantpajohnson Wait, are you saying that the Kingdom of the Cults is my book and Walter Martin is my Prophet? Wrong. This book was one of many I read and was the beginning of my study into the history of the Mormon church. Look into the history of the church. How did they begin? I have the Book of Mormon. I have talked to LDS members and asked questions about doctrine. The Bible is the Word of God.
So that is not true.The Savior offered Himself to be our Savior, before the earth existed.Lucifer opposed the plan of salvation, and his smooth speech drew away one third of our former brothers and sisters, who supported his lies, and so there was war in heaven! Satan was cast out, as well as all who had supported him in any way. The only reason, we become anything at all, is because of what Christ has done for us,changing our natures,rescueing us from the grasp of sin, by His sacrifice for us.And so, from age to age we take on the Lord's divine attributes, not of ourselves, but by grace offered to us through Christ Jesus.The Savior understands us, He too went from childhood, adolesence, and into adulthood.He knew hunger, thirst, rejection and the hatred of the world .All of these things and much more He endured for you and I .Yours in Christ, Dan.
@ The problem is …Mormons don’t know who Christ is. They worship a false Christ that never existed,they worship a Christ that is satans brother. He’s God ,the great I Am . The creator of everything….including Satan . Nor did God come down from heaven and hav3 sex with Mary ….Joseph’s myth is just that,a fabrication of his perverted mind
God wanted to ensure that you got to hear the truth and sent his servants to testify to you personally so that you can know how the things said in this video are inaccurate to what Latter-day Saints actually believe.
@@KnuttyEntertainment God wants us to know of Him, about Him, to believe in Jesus, and to become a Child of His. The Holy Bible is His Word. Why would we accept another Gospel or Book that is in conflict with the Word of God? I would suggest to you that if you think that there were some things in the video are inaccurate then you need to learn more about the LDS beliefs and compare it with what the Bible reads.
Praise the Lord you heard the truth before the deceptive whisper came. Forty years ago my mother-in-law opened the door to those boys and within one sitting, she got convinced because she did not know her Bible (parents’ fault). This decision changed the trajectory of her entire family’s lives who then became Mormon. Thank God, my husband loves to read so he read all sorts of books in his teens and then fled from the Mormon church in high school. But still his parents and sister (and her kids) are still Mormon. The only Mormons in the entire family history. Ugh!
@@BFOJ0000 1. the Bible never says the Bible is God's word. the Bible never talks about the Bible. It's just a greatest hits album of the writings of prophets and scribes. Some of those writings are called the word of God, but there's nothing special about putting those writings into a collection, there's no reason for the collection to exist other than the convenience of having one book on your shelf instead of 50. The Bible also mentions like 20 other books of authoritative scripture that were lost by the time the Bible was compiled. 2. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches the same gospel as is found in the Bible, and the Book of Mormon doesn't contradict the Bible, rather the Bible prophesies about the Book of Mormon. (ironically the Bible never prophesies about the Bible, though the Book of Mormon does.) 3. I'm a religious studies major. I go to college for this stuff. I have researched Latter-day Saint history and theology for years. I've read all of their scriptures cover to cover, including the Bible. How many times have you read the Book of Mormon? How many Latter-day Saints have you talked to about their beliefs? Or are you just going by the same recycled anti-mormon propaganda that you've seen promoted on the internet by non-mormons? Sorry, don't mean to be rude. Just want you to know that I'm not ignorant about these things.
Wait I'm confused, the LDS Plan of Salvation actually brings about / offers more individuals an opportunity for salvation yet "Jesus isn't enough" ¿¿ Latter-day Saints are being baptized every day for those who haven't even heard of Christ or believed in Christ while here in the flesh, yet we don't preach grace right?? Meanwhile it's ok if someone says these individuals will burn in hell for not choosing to believe in Christ while in the flesh?? Who's really "diminishing Christ" here?
God is under no obligation to save anyone. Everyone knows that God exists. Those who have never heard of Christ will be judged on the light they did have. How well did they live up to the light that they had? "It is appointed unto man once to die and after that the judgment." Jesus Christ is the one who told the Pharisees that they were of their father the devil because they refused to believe that he was God. John 8 Christ said that their sins would not be forgiven and they would be condemned. Who are you to stand in moral judgment of Jesus Christ?
@@las44usa Jesus death on the cross overcame the physical death. AS such all who have lived , is living and will live will recieve the gift of being resurrected. However salvation or the gift of eternal life only comes through the atonement where in the garden of gethsemane Jesus took on the sins of the world where he suffered so much that he bled from every pore and asked that his father remove the bitter cup. The gift of the atonement requires us to be one with Christ. IT is obtained by exercising faith, repenting of our sins, making and keeping covenants with god(baptism) and enduring to the end. Repentance is a daily thing even more often as we fall short of the perfect example that Jesus set for us. You are right Grace cannot be worked for however "faith without works is dead" . Simply put works are a result of us exercising our faith. IT is written it simply not enough just to declare belief and do no more. OR to say you repent and continue to do the same sin? God will held us to account for our knowledge and everything we have done or NOT done, we will not be enough and this is where the atonement and the saviour JEsus Christ with his grace and mercy will make up the difference and blot out the mistakes we have repented for . AS it is written if we truly repent he will remember them no more and we will be purified by the atonement.
We have one grand uncle who is a mormon pastor, and one a baptist pastor and no matter how my baptist grand uncle tried to present the true Gospel, it just wasn't accepted by his mormon countepart. It was sad when my granduncle died in his faith.
They say that the Bible goes hand in hand with the Bible so I said since I don’t go by the book of mormon and we have the Bible in common then we can use that. I made them define everything. Their version of God was he was an exalted man. I said the bible says from everlasting to everlasting thou art God, and I the Lord change not, therefore you sons of Jacob are not consumed. I made them define everything because in the video the godmakers they said mormons use the same terminology but they define it different.
so you go to learn about a religion by watching "the godmakers" why don't you at least go to their official website to find out what they actually believe?
The problem is, folks not taking the scriptures literally and leaving the audience alone. Tribulation has a purpose and that is to redeem the nation of ISRAEL. Jesus came once as a child in His first coming, He then died, rose again and tells Mary touch me not for i have not yet ascended to my Father. He then Ascends and then returns again where He allows Thomas to put his hands in His hands and side... And He remained here 40 days before ascending again. So too, will He descend to the clouds to take His sheep home .. they will hear His voice and follow Him to meet in the air. He will then take us back to the Fathers House where He went to prepare a place for us. Once all nations gather to the Valley of Jehosaphat to attack His Earthly chosen people, He will descend again and ride back to Earth with the Army of the Church behind Him where He will trample down a great winepress and where the Church will gather up the wheat and tare with Him before setting up a 1000 year millennial Kingdom on this present Earth. 1 Corinthians 15:50-53 tells us flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. This corruption must put on incorruption and this mortal must put on immortality.. this is what is necessary to go to the Fathers House where Jesus currently is, however during the 1000 year millennial Kingdom where Christ will rule as King (Zechariah 12-14) there will be flesh and blood.. they will be born and die. And they will be required to cleanse themselves before entering to gather for the Feast of Tabernacles year after year that they will be required to do.. Ezekiel 38-40. There is a very distinct difference in the scriptures between the rapture and the return. ... He IS COMING
There are 3 people groups by the end of it all... The Church, seen in Revelation 5:9-11 (a fulfillment of Prophecy) the resurrected Trib Saint Revelation 20:4 (two people groups in that scripture alone, those on Thrones given authority to judge AND those who are Resurrected) and the wheat and the tare, those trampled down in the winepress and those who live in human form and are left who will enter into a millennial Kingdom... Including the 144k who are all Virgin, Hebrew, Males. Understanding the timing of the Revelation of Jesus Christ (a revealing of something once hidden) is key to knowing that Paul had no knowledge of the Trumpets In that Book. John wrote Revelation about 25 years AFTER the destruction of Israel by the Romans. There was a resurrection after Christ Rose from the dead, many came out of their graves and APPEARED unto many. Thus there have been resurrections, the first resurrection in Revelation 20:4 (Again a revealing of things once hidden) is then the first in a new dispensation of time... Namely the Millennial Kingdom, a resurrection we too will preside over
I absolutely love that this video is the reason why Dave Boice from 52 churches in 52 weeks got baptized. Even when people try to tear down other people's faith, the strong still triumph through.
I have been a Mormon for 16 years now, and before, I never really saw anything false, suspicious, or wrong about the teachings of Mormonism, until the Holy Spirit began to do a tremendous and wonderful work in me and through me by revealing the infallible Word Of GOD. Yes, I have always known the Holy Bible to be the only source of inspiration and revelation, and when I got to study both the Bible and the Book Of Mormon, I saw that the Book Of Mormon does contradict what the Bible says, and recently I feel like the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints is not the church built on the rock, being Jesus Christ because the teachings are not in line with the true gospel of Jesus Christ that is in the Bible, So to Pastor Allen and Pastor Bryan, I am truly thankful for this episode, and I am going to watch the "Unveling Mormonism" podcast because I want to be set free from Mormonism.
God bless you! 🙏🏾 John 10:27-29 My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me, And I give unto them eternal life and they shall never perish neither shall any man pluck them out of my Father's hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. ❤
@@Elizabeth-rk3do May GOD bless you too, I am truly thankful for the Bible scripture that have quoted. I truly believe that I am beginning to hear the voice of Jesus Christ in His word, and I am now beginning to move in the right direction to where GOD wants me to be, and that is to be dependent and faithful to Him and only Him.
8:48 To me the "shift" this guy is talking about it clear. When many Americans were Christian it needed to be clear how Jesus Christ's church was different than others. Now that many Americans are losing faith in Christ the need is to bring people to Christ and so it's important to let non-believers know we believe in Christ. I could be wrong but that's my guess.
40:48 we believe the Bible because the Book of Mormon supports it as far as the covenant that God made with Israel and the testimony of the apostles concerning Jesus Christ. From 1 nephi 13: “And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld that they did prosper in the land; and I beheld a book, and it was carried forth among them. 21 And the angel said unto me: Knowest thou the meaning of the book? 22 And I said unto him: I know not. 23 And he said: Behold it proceedeth out of the mouth of a Jew. And I, Nephi, beheld it; and he said unto me: The book that thou beholdest is a record of the Jews, which contains the covenants of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house of Israel; and it also containeth many of the prophecies of the holy prophets; and it is a record like unto the engravings which are upon the plates of brass, save there are not so many; nevertheless, they contain the covenants of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house of Israel; wherefore, they are of great worth unto the Gentiles.” And again a revelation from God to Joseph Smith in D&C 10: “52 And now, behold, according to their faith in their prayers will I bring this part of my gospel to the knowledge of my people. Behold, I do not bring it to destroy that which they have received, but to build it up. 53 And for this cause have I said: If this generation harden not their hearts, I will establish my church among them. 54 Now I do not say this to destroy my church, but I say this to build up my church”
Joseph Smith himself quoted from The Bible much more frequently than from The Book of Mormon because he was so familiar with it from his earliest years. Most Latter-day Saints, like most mainstream Christians are lax in their scripture study, but there has only been a specific focus on The Book of Mormon since the leadership of President Ezra Taft Benson, who called church members to repentance for their far too casual study of The Book of Mormon.

Allen, the timing of this for me of you making this video is absolutely amazing. I've been a sola scriptura Christian for about 3 years and within the last week these supposed missionaries have been talking to me and at first I thought. This is amazing I was looking for a new church to attend and really thought this was something that was meant to be I gave them my phone number and they hadn't brought up the book of Mormonism until recently and I attended the church the other day and these Church Elders have been trying to get me baptized and after doing more research I was realizing this things about how non-Christian the book or Mormon is and I was thinking all day today about how I was gonna mention it to them and I finally did that today after listening to this whole thing. It's purely amazing that you posted this today.
Yo Brother Allen, the cut's lookin' FRESH!
Hi Allen, I'm a Latter-day Saint. I wanted to let you know that you made a great many factual errors in this video and greatly misrepresented Mormonism and the Church of Jesus Christ. I would love to talk with you and clear these things up. There are also a great many Latter-day Saint scholars and TH-camrs who would love to come on your show and collaborate to make a video accurately portraying our beliefs that's constructive rather than destructive. I know for a fact that Ward Radio, Thoughtful Faith, and Robert Boylan would accept the offer in a heartbeat.
@@Eric_Rebron You should know that most of the stuff said about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in this video is wildly incorrect. Rather than blindly trust what you hear on the internet from apologists and antagonists, where misinformation runs loose. I would encourage you to have your own experience. Read the Book of Mormon and see for yourself how Christian it is. Pray to God for guidance as you seek truth with love and charity.
James 1:5, 16-21
"5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him...
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls."
Proverb 18:13, 17
"13 If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame.
17 In a lawsuit the first to speak seems right, until someone comes forward and cross-examines."

@@giraffewhiskers2045 hello thanks for your reply. Please elaborate on your response
( Sorry to ask I just wish TH-cam would print the original question as a reference) 👍
@@nute742 with Christian’s we believe in the trinity.. we believe that Jesus, the father and the Holy Spirit are all 3 persons in 1 being.. this may be blasphemy to say but think about in those cartoons where 3 kids jump on each others shoulders and make them selfs into one figure, or think about did disorder.. basically they have personalities with different responsibilities and they are all in one body
Mormons don’t believe in the trinity, they believe Jesus was made or he was archangel micheal, and I’ve heard that you guys don’t read the Bible as much as you do the Book of Mormon.. that’s usually the book Mormons want to hand out, and not the Bible! Then you believe athiests just go into a black void when the Bible teaches those who don’t follow God go to hell, and those who put their faith in Christ go to heaven.
Not to mention John 10:30 which says “I and the father are one” and Jesus was speaking John 1:1-5 talks about Jesus being in the beginning and if you look at the word Elohim I believe it’s plural in genesis 1, then in also in genesis 2 it says “let’s create man in OUR image” but Adam and Eve don’t address their being any other Gods besides 1 being.. therefor the trinity..

You ever notice that every other religion besides Christianity focuses on one person as "the last prophet" and totally doesnt focus and put 100% credit to Jesus Christ?
I would say that we have a pretty good focus on Jesus Christ. Here is my favorite verse from the "satanic" Book of Mormon for emphasis:
Mosiah 4:11 -
And again I say unto you as I have said before, that as ye have come to the knowledge of the glory of God, or if ye have known of his goodness and have tasted of his love, and have received a remission of your sins, which causeth such exceedingly great joy in your souls, even so I would that ye should remember, and always retain in remembrance, the greatness of God, and your own nothingness, and his goodness and long-suffering towards you, unworthy creatures, and humble yourselves even in the depths of humility, calling on the name of the Lord daily, and standing steadfastly in the faith of that which is to come, which was spoken by the mouth of the angel.
We are NOTHING without God, His Son, and the Holy Spirit. We should always remember that. This is one of the reasons why this is my favorite verse. You're actually kind of right on this point. We ALL need to remember how merciful God is to us, when even our best works are as filthy rags before him. His Grace is EVERY bit the way we make it to heaven.
Sorry to offfend. Have a nice day!
@BookWarden, The Book of Mormon does not contain the totality of mormon theology.
mormons dont believe in a last prophet. even having prophets today. christianity does have a last prophet, jesus christ.
@@BookWardenif you’re comparing the BoM and D&C you are going to se the huge discrepancy between them. The BoM are literally a copy of the Bible and D&C are exclusively thought and teachings of a narcissistic man. No offense 😉

True Christianity is just so simple we all are sinners which is why we need Jesus who died for our sins
And he can do that cause he is God
3 in 1 and lived a sinless life
You nailed it thank you
Trust and believe in Lord Jesus. He is God in the flesh who created us and not our equal. Jesus is God in human flesh 🙏
Yeah, that's the idea right?
We need Jesus, as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints I agree.

I was a Mormon for 52 years and glad to finally be out of that cult! I'm a new born again Christian and have never been happier or more determined in spreading the real Jesus and real Christianity to my family and friends! Thanks for this great video and God bless!!
So glad you are boldly speaking about this now Allan. In the beginning you were not confident to speak boldly about Mormonism. God gives us courage to speak the truth in love!
I've always taught my kids...question everything. Don't believe me, don't believe our Pastor, read the Bible, pray for discernment, do your own research. Anyone who will stop you from asking questions or doing your own research is a red flag.
Exactly. Don’t take this pastor’s word for it. Do your own research. Prayerfully discern for yourself whether this pastor speaks the truth or not. Read the Book of Mormon and make your own judgement. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I don’t feel like this pastor accurately explained our beliefs. Happy to provide any clarification to what the pastor is claiming we believe.

@@DadedFragonthey view Jesus differently then Christians do
Having been a Mormon for 47 years, I can tell you the best way to evangelize a Mormon is to #1 be a living example of a disciple, #2 be a kind friend, and #3 ASK QUESTIONS! Mormons believe that their feelings are the Holy Ghost. If you say something that makes them uncomfortable, they think it's the Spirit testifying that what you are saying is wrong. To get past this Holy Ghost feelings, it's absolutely necessary to ask them the questions so they can do their own research.
Good advice!! The Spirit of religion is so strong with this group of people. They truly have to humble themselves or let the Lord humble them, which is what happened to me!! And believe me, it was painful, but then God showed me Himself, and still it took my effort to choose Him and NOT the Church.
I’m sorry to but this just simply isn’t true. I don’t believe my feelings are the Holy Ghost. Maybe people miscommunicate because we’re human after all. I believe the holy spiritual speaks to my mind and my heart. Together. Calling it feelings is inaccurate. I believe developing the spiritual gift of discernment is incredibly important for all people. God bless.
@@kristinrichmond8185 If my pastor came out to be a pedophile polygamist, I’d be running from that church as fast as possible and trying to save everyone else in there.

Great video. Thanks for the interview! God is always faithful.
I was a Mormon for 35 years of my life. It is a hard road to exit. They tought me that the surest way to give my soul to Satan was to leave the Mormon church. I understand how hard it can be to face that reality that none of it is true that the real truth is that through the grace of Jesus and faith alone we are saved is hard at first but so very easy once you realize it. My god is a good gracious God who loves me and all of his children. Stop hesitating and realize that there's nothing you can do to earn your way into heaven you have to have Jesus.
You're a liar sir
@BaBumz because that's the best first response. No questions no curiosity about how I came to my conclusion. Just outright name calling and insulting is not necessary.
@imarip9781 you can't buy your way into heaven. You should do works because they are a good thing to do, not because you think you'll get into "better" heaven.
Ephesians 2:8-9
King James Version
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Works don't get you into heaven grace and faith do.
@imarip9781 love it. I didn't think we were in disagreement. All glory goes to God in the end. For as long as through our works we give it all to god it is a good and great thing. Thank you for all you've shared.
@imarip9781 - According to the Bible, it says that if you are trusting in any amount of works at all to get into heaven, then that is a different gospel and one that doesn’t save.
My mom was Mormon by default habing been born in Salt Lake City in 1941, met my dad, got married, moved to Cali, then got saved around 1960-something. Fast forward to late 90's and the Mormon church tracked her down for geology stuff and it was FREAKY, she was highly diaconcerted that after ao many years and several cross-country address changes, that they were so easily able to track her down before there was widespread tech that made such information access readily available.
Not shocked to hear this in the slightest. Mormons use "family search" for their genealogy stuff and you can find almost anything on anyone on there. All kinds of public records, all of your current/previous addresses.. what have you. If she hasn't had her records removed from the church I would urge her to do so!
Thank you for this video, Brother Parr. I was born and raised in a mormon fundamentalist polygamist group but was saved 11 months ago. I now attend a non-denominational church where I was baptized in October of last year.
There were many things that the Holy Spirit used to lead me to Jesus, but your channel was one of them. I began watching some of your videos as a young teenager, and the power, direction, and simplicity of God's word was becoming clear to me. Your channel helped shine the light of God into the darkness of my life. Praise God for that and my eventual salvation. I pray that others in the LDS faith will come to know God as he really is and understand the power and simplicity of His salvation.🤍
Wow!!!!!!!!!! That’s amazing!! I can’t believe this. Wow!!
Awesome testimony! Jesus chases after those that belong to Him. Who the Son sets free is free indeed! Praise God for being found and placed into His huge family. Welcome 🙏🏽 💖
Buzz and Maya Swolpin are my favorite commentators on this particular subject. So much great insight. Their videos are kind of hard to find and I'm not sure I got the spelling right. Ask your bible group the next chance you get, I'm sure someone will know about them. Shalom! 🕊️
Good job
Iwas raise kind of a jack mormon, I know as much as an outsider does, but even I know that you don't conflate the FLDS with the LDS, it is insulting to them.
That's my pastor over there!! 🔥🔥 He helped me a lot to navigate from mormonism to Christianity. I'm now saved and will get baptized this Sunday ❤
He doesn't seem to know a lot about the Church of Jesus Christ, but I hope your baptism goes well!
@allanapereira9779 - I ask you to please join any church that is not led by the pastor in this video. He is truly one of the most UN-Christlike humans I have ever had the displeasure of watching on a "religious" video. You think he would have spent his time preaching of Jesus Christ and testifying of Christ instead of spreading falsehoods and blatant lies and complete contempt for his neighbors that believe differently than he does. Is that the leader of a congregation you want to align with? Would Jesus choose that pastor's example to represent Christlike values? Absolutely not. There is no spirit of Christ in that pastor that I could feel this entire video.
The real truth has to be exposed as kindly as possible. Hopefully to bring people to Jesus. It works. That man has brought many to Christ.
I think he was a mormon...
I was and know he has told everything the way it is. Maybe some Mormons don't know their own faith.
Why does your pastor call my faith demonic? really?
Thanks for not mincing words or being wishy-washy on the subject. All love
My daughter told me that she asked God how to deal with the LDS, and HE said LOVE. Please love them into the truth of the Gospel. The scales are very thick on their eyes, they literally are blind. They need your prayers and love!!!
I’m pretty sure God tells everybody to LOVE everybody. Great insight 😂
@@troyt5564😂😂😅
I appreciate you pointing out the greatest of all commandments. “LOVE”. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints have endured almost 200 years of the non-stop hatred, persecution, lies, conspiracy theories, mocking and the like. Jesus prophesied that because he was first hated and persecuted the same will be done unto his servants and his church. All his original 12 apostles were mocked, persecuted and the majority was killed all because they were preaching the gospel that the Jews would not accept as they cling to only the laws of Moses and felt they have everything and didn’t need any other teachings. Heck, they even called Jesus, the devil.
Fast forward to these last days and the same exact thing is happening. Many of God’s prophecy is being fulfilled. These last days the deceived, the naysayers, evil doers will call good, bad and bad, good. Y’all are the ones that are spiritually blind because the devil whispers into y’all ears with his mountain of lies and y’all run with it without ever going to God with a sincere heart, mind and soul and ask him where to find his only church that he created and gave his power and authority to 12 men he ordained.
Satan is so threatened by the true church that is lead and guided by Jesus, that the hatred and persecution is never ending. It’s worse now with the technology of the World Wide Web/the internet and social media. The man made false churches y’all flock to, but The Church of Jesus Christ that teaches the full gospel is the one that y’all love to spread lies about, misrepresent and take much out of context that y’all don’t understand and some of the same parts we have a common ground on is never spoken about. You see how cunning and crafty the devil is!!!.
When I read the Holy Bible (KJV), I recognize and understand correctly so much more that is only taught in The Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints because all the other churches are man made and they do not have the power and authority from God and this church is the only one that is God made. There is only 1 Lord, 1 Faith and 1 Baptism. To put in context the reality there’s actually only 2 churches. The church of the devil which is the Catholic Church and all the Protestant churches that evolve from them. The other church is The Church of Jesus Christ.
Here’s some research y’all can do. The entire Bible mentions christian(s) only 3 times, but yet y’all are like ravishing wolves as the gate keepers. Lol. Did y’all not know it was unbelievers, nay sayers that used that christian(s) to mock, ridiculed and was originally used as a derogatory term to those who believe in Christ, but we all have adopted it. How ironic and interesting that y’all are unbelievers within our belief context and were the ones from the Protestant/evangelical community so many years ago mocked us and label us as “mormons”. Unfortunately in my opinion, we mistakenly accepted that label for a time, although we have identified ourselves as followers of Christ thereby we are more Christians than the ravishing wolves of gate keepers who are making false judgements as to who is a Christian or not. The Church have formerly, several years ago, denounced the use and acceptance of the label of “mormons”, “mormon church” and “mormonism”. Furthermore, as part of the name of Jesus Church we are Latter-day Saints, not “mormons. Mormon was an ancient Prophet and historian and he played a significant role in preserving and protecting the scriptures of God’s dealings with his other sheep.
That being said, if you really study God’s words in the Holy Bible, the Prophet and Apostles consistently referred to the church members in their revelations and in written epistles was “Saints”. The word Saint(s) are found in the Holy Bible about 100 times right down to the last book of the Holy Bible which is Revelation.
So while y’all want to be the ravishing wolves of gate keepers for the word “Christian” which was used as a mocker, we will still identify ourselves as followers of Jesus Christ and his true last day Saints that he speaks of that will be his elect.
Hi, I'm a Latter-day Saint, thank you for your concern and effort to love. You'll be happy to know that most of the horrible things said about the Church of Jesus Christ in this video are false. So good news, we are not really as satanic as you've been led to believe.

God in His mercy saved me from Mormonism a little more than 5 years ago. Similar to the story of Beau and KD, it took me YEARS to find the courage to leave. If any Mormons watching are in the same situation, the joy and freedom in Christ is worth any pain you may experience in leaving. ❤
Amen!!! God bless u sister and Neva forget how much our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ loves us❤️. Always stay strong in faith, trust in the Lord and neva stop reading the Bible, keep praying and fasting! God bless u and ur fam❤️
The Lord by His mercy sent two sister missionaries from the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to my door in the Spring of 1980.I was baptised on June 7, of that year.I love my Redeemer Jesus Christ, His Restored church, and I equally adore both the Holy Bible and Book of Mormon.Saved from confusion and gross sin,I am now free, in and through Christ, and do not merit such grace and kindness.
I was pleasantly surprised to see Bryan. I go to Alpine Church. I have known him for many years, such a great guy.
I come from a long lineage of Mormons. Left when I was 19 and they expected me to serve a mission. I never felt like it was truth. My brother followed suit as did my best friend (his parents think I’m the devil). I didn’t believe we could be Gods. And the real tipping point was learning about the temple endowment ceremonies. They show a film of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden and after they partake of the fruit Satan tells them to cover their bodies with fig leaves. They pause the film and instruct the group of about 20 people to stand and put on their green fig leaf aprons on top of the white temple clothes. They are literally holding a ceremony to show contrition to Satan. Nobody questions it, they just obey. Then they move on to a blood oath. God believes in growth through free will. Satan believes in forced contrition. Most churches operate as control mechanisms which makes me believe they are Satan’s greatest deception. Lead people astray while convincing them they are holy. Contradictions in Mormon scripture vs biblical scripture are lazily explained away as “incorrect interpretations”. Bible teaches we are saved by the grace of God. Nothing more, nothing less. The Mormons believe we are all going to heaven, but that our “works” determine which kingdom of heaven (3 levels of heaven) we end up in. The top level of course is reserved for Mormons that did their temple work. They get mansions in the “Celestial Kingdom” with streets paved in gold and granted the power to create worlds and be gods themselves. A very materialistic idea of heaven. Quite the opposite of what I envision heaven to be.
Wrong. If the Bible taught Faith Alone, then Jesus wouldn't have Broken Sabbath to heal.
Wrong
@@dirkjensen969 The Bible teaches grace not faith. I’m guessing you’re Mormon and I bet you never read the Bible.
@@benjaminvandenberghe9726 spoken like a democrat.
Mansions are described in the Bible with a Heavenly pearly gate, and I believe gold pavement.
“You as well can become a God.”
This is where it’s demonic.
True, Genesis 1:5
Correction, Its Gen. 3:5
@@VincentDy-q4h It is not presented or taught that way, and is simply a logical direction. We partner with God on earth to share in creating life. We don't do it on our own. Families are our greatest blessings. Why would a loving Heavenly Father take our greatest and righteous joy from us? We are not a 'god" in the sense of this world.
John 10:33-34 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? Romans 8:17 ...And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
You are so surrounded by demonic entities that you are blind to see it. It’s so obvious when y’all fall into satan’s trap not knowing the scriptures but bearing false witness of sound doctrine. I don’t want you to continue to suffer in darkness so let me minister unto you as it’s the Christlike thing to do. Here a few scriptures that God have repeatedly told us we are little gods, not the Almighty God. Know the difference and stop letting the devil deceive you. You won’t like the outcome in the end. Reject the devil and he will flee.
PSALM 82: 6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
DANIEL 2: 47 The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.”
1 Corinthians 8: 5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
Our church didn’t invent what the scriptures already revealed. Pay attention to the upper case “G” (only 1 God) and the lower case “g”(gods many). Never should you speak of what you don’t understand and condemn and blaspheme on what is of God.
God will continue to reveal things to his true ordained servants. Don’t be like the Pharisees who reject things they never understood. They mocked and crucified Jesus based on their unbelief. Their mainstream beliefs and tradition rested on the Law of Moses only. The Gospel of Jesus Christ was new to them and they called Jesus the devil because they were astonished as to his preachings. I would encourage you to seek your own personal revelation through prayer and even fasting to God. Ask and ye shall receive. Don’t jeopardize your own salvation leaning unto your own understanding. Praying for you. 🙏🏽 REPENT
INCORRECT:
6:38: President Hinckley(the living prophet at the time) is referring to the concept of Christ that has been developed in the centuries since the Nicene Creed was formed-He is saying that we do not believe in non-Biblical creeds. This statement is quite correct: Latter-day Saints do not have some of the same “beliefs” about Christ that other Christian churches do. He IS NOT saying that we do not believe in the Biblical Christ. In fact, the reason that Latter-day Saints do not accept these creeds is because they are non-Biblical. President Hinckley continued (with words ALWAYS omitted by critics):
“Am I Christian? Of course I am. I believe in Christ. I talk of Christ. I pray through Christ. I'm trying to follow Him and live His gospel in my life.”
There’s too many half truths shared here. Read the Book of Mormon and Bible fully and see if it’s all that’s it’s cracked up to be. It’s not replace the Bible. It’s a record of people who lived in ancient America who knew of Christ and they share their revelations and experiences of what they witnesses. Just another testament to prove that Jesus is the son of God. And back up the words of the holy Bible.
It’s very interesting to hear a conversation about “Mormons” from people who aren’t Mormon lol it’s like asking a white guy what is the experience of being a black man. Or someone who is Islam explaining what Christians truly believe in. Go to the source, not a 3rd party lol
Members of the church aren’t on the offensive making content going after other denominations, but we sure could. Being Christlike I guess is relative to some. Hopefully this helps some one out there

Amen! ❤
Thank you for trying to explain this as best as you can
Joseph Smith wrote and taught so many things that outright contradict the Biblical revelation. On top of the fact that He made prophecies that didn't come to pass, he's clearly unreliable. That's why we talk about Mormonism in this context. The doctrine is significantly different from traditional Christianity.
Even some Jehovah's Witnesses say they are Christians because they believe in the existence of Jesus. But we know that's not true.
That... they... believe in Jesus..? How is that not true? Regardless of your different interpretations of the Bible, I'm pretty sure they're still big fans of Jesus.
@user-gw1sk7kd9w Okay, but Jehovah's Witnesses also love Jesus and work with their faith in him.
@@KnuttyEntertainment they have no “faith” in Jesus Christ. To them he is one of the “angels”. All their “faith” is in Jehovah.
But they believe he had a silent coming already and only 144,000 will be saved. They also changed his divinity. So they distorted the Bible.
Exactly. Just knowing about Jesus is not enough. You need to have Jesus as your main guide, not any other gods.
I lived in Utah for several years, just minutes away from BYU in a 90+% Mormon area. The spiritual oppression was palpable. Evangelical/Bible-believing Christians like myself made up less than 1% of the population in that area; there were more Buddhists than Christians there! Being part of a great Bible teaching fellowship--a church planted by a missionary pastor much like this man--was absolutely essential to maintaining my spiritual well-being as a believer. Thank you, sir, for your service to the people of Utah, who desperately need the Gospel!

Please explain Jesus Baptism to me. Jesus is god right he is in the water? His father in heaven spoke to him and the holy ghost decended as a dove. NO how is this ONE PERSON ??? ALso on the cross Jesus is dying , he called out to His Father and asked why he had forsaken him (or had left him alone in his time of need) ??? How is Jesus the Father the same person ??? They are not. They are ONE in divine purpose . My wife and i are ONE. ARe we the same person ??? No but we are one in flesh at times as commanded by God in the bringing of children to this earth. WE are one in our desire to serve God. We are one in purpose. Your misinterpretation of scripture shows you have chosen some scripture to support a theology made of man as part of the nicean creed who had to describe what they believed God was without understanding as there was no PROPHET living on the earth.
54:14 yeah anyone who tells you you are going to outer darkness doesn’t know what they are talking about. Nobody knows who is going to outer darkness except those who are going. They get a special vision from God.

To all Mormons (Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) who happen to be watching for one reason or another: consider reading or watching "The Canker of Contention" by Russell m. Nelson from 1989 General Conference.
To all Christian Cousins reading: consider 1 Timothy 6:3-5 (particularly 5) "from such withdraw thyself."
If there's something that we may contend on, the Lord seems to prefer that we withdraw if we can't interact in an edifying manner.

22:25 this is also a misunderstanding of our theology. Book of Abraham chapter 3 explains that our spirits are eternal. So Jesus is uncreated, and we are also uncreated as well. Jesus is the father of our creation in as much as he created the heavens and earth under the direction of the Father, and is therefore the father of our physical creation. But not spiritual. That comes with a change of heart or spiritual rebirth, or “baptism of the spirit”
I’ve been LDS since university. Can’t say I regret following the saviour through this conduit.

Further, Jesus said there is NO marriage in heaven and that we become angels NOT Gods, so I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Mormons blaspheme Jesus’ teachings.

Jehovah Witnesses are some of the least educated people in the world. It is easy to seduce the uneducated. It is understandable that ignorant people are easily duped. The LDS church is exactly opposite. They are extremely educated, and have the prestigious BYU as an example of their heritage. The LDS church is the 8th wonder of the world, because so many educated people are blinded by a con man like Joseph Smith. There is no evidence to support any of Joe Smith's outlandish claims, yet 16 million intelligent people follow the lies. It is amazing.
23:06 sure. But Lucifer did not keep his first estate and does not share in the glory with those who did. Again chapter 3 BoA

Enjoy thinking you can become a God, exactly what Satan offers his followers. Read Genesis.
@@jeffs4483 The trick is you are the one that satan already have as one of his minions because you are here carrying out his will to deny the words of God that says we are indeed little gods after our our creator.
Meaning we can become like our Heavenly Father when we return to live with him in Heaven, eternally. If we are created in God’s image do we not look like our creator. Because of sin, we’ve fallen short of God’s glory. Aren’t we suppose to strive to be more like him, otherwise we default to satan. Satan will always come with his counterfeits as he knows he’s guaranteed to get people like you to be confused and instead deny God’s power thinking blindly. You see he’s very cunning and crafty. By denying God’s power, you automatically defaults to him. That’s exactly what you are doing right now. REPENT!!!
It’s foolish to be calling God a liar when his words are very clear in the scriptures.
PSALM 82: 6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

It’s the trap of satan to have you deny and condemn things of God that you lack any spiritual understanding in at all. Because of your spiritual blindness, satan operates so well to lead the masses astray with carnal mindsets such as yours. Reject him and he will flee. You bear false witness against God. Don’t jeopardize your own Salvation because you seeing things through the eyes of flesh and not the spirit.

29:19 well I try to walk upright with a perfect brightness of hope
Excellent video, I had little knowledge about the Mormons. I love ❤learning how to defend my faith and bring people to the true gospel.
@yolow69- You didn't learn much about Mormons from this video other than how to spread lies and hatred. Talk to an actual member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to find out the truth about us, instead of getting bigoted false information from anti-Mormon pastors. You also didn't learn from this video how to bring the Gospel and engage Latter-day Saints. These video has done great harm by driving Latter-day Saints away and further proving that hateful, self-righteous people cannot be trusted to be our friends.
The standard of truth has been erected. No unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished and the great Jehovah shall say the work is done. -Joseph Smith, 1842
‐-------------------------------------------------------
I absolutely love The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I bear witness that the true doctrine of Jesus Christ has been restored.
I love your heart and the quote,Thank you!
Thanks!
44:08 well to be “on par with scripture” it has to be canonized. We do have a couple documents that have been since the death of Joseph Smith. But few and far between any statement made by a president of the church is actually taken as seriously as holy writ. His counsel is useful for some for the time he says it. Like don’t watch porn. Pray more. Etc
As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints I’ve never once in my life been told we are not Christians by any leader in any capacity.
Notice how Pastor Bryan doesn’t finish the quote he’s referring to. President Gordon B. Hinckley, responding to a question regarding whether Latter-day Saints believe in the “traditional Christ,” stated:
No I don't. The traditional Christ of whom they speak is not the Christ of whom I speak. For the Christ of whom I speak has been revealed in this the dispensation of the fullness of times”.
President Hinckley is referring to the concept of Christ that has developed in the centuries since the Nicene Creed was formed. He is saying that we do not believe in non-Biblical creeds. This statement is quite correct: Latter-day Saints do not have some of the same beliefs about Christ that other Christian churches do. He is not saying that we do not believe in the Biblical Christ. In fact, the reason that Latter-day Saints do not accept these creeds is because they are non-Biblical.
President Hinckley continued (with words usually omitted by critics):
Am I Christian? Of course I am. I believe in Christ. I talk of Christ. I pray through Christ. I'm trying to follow Him and live His gospel in my life.
President Hinckley was quite clear in his position regarding Christ:
“Are we Christians? Of course we are Christians. We believe in Christ. We worship Christ. We take upon ourselves in solemn covenant His holy name. The Church to which we belong carries His name. He is our Lord, our Savior, our Redeemer through whom came the great Atonement with salvation and eternal life”.
These clowns know this is a lie and yet continue to be disingenuous. I don’t think they’re Christian. “For they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me”.
This is what “Mormons”, “LDS” and members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints actually believe.
We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
These are some of my favorite Bible versus as we believe in the Old and New Testament.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
John 11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believes thou this?
John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Matthew 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. During His earthly ministry, Jesus taught His gospel and established His Church. Jesus called twelve Apostles and gave them authority to lead His Church. At the end of His life, Jesus atoned for our sins by His suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the cross. After Jesus’s death, He was resurrected. Because of Jesus’s atoning sacrifice, we can be forgiven and cleansed of our sins. This brings us peace and makes it possible for us to return to God’s presence and receive a fulness of joy. Because of Jesus, and only Jesus, we overcome physical and spiritual death.
To answer Allen’s question, this is what we believe and what he does for us.
Now time for everyone to tell me I’m in a “cult”.
^This right here is why I now believe this channel isn't christian... I've only seen Christ like worship in the lds church
This pastor doesn’t really know what he is talking about I will love to have a debate with him I was a Christian before before I convert to the lds .. and I will tell you , the water that Jesus offer to the lady by the wall that will satisfy her , I feel that in my life .
Amen! ❤ Jesus is the redeemer. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I have grown to know my Savior, to understand his will for me, I have become kinder, more charitable, a better wife and mother, and a list of many other fruits. I have found peace, and my disposition to do good and live by the example of Christ is continually growing. I repent daily, and thus my weaknesses are made strong. These are the fruits! Please don’t listen to this dishonesty. Come and see. ❤❤❤
You don’t seem to understand that it isn’t just believing in Christ. It is believing who Christ IS. You don’t seem to even understand what you don’t understand
I think it’s hilarious listening to the strawman arguments and characterizations anti-Mormon evangelicals attribute to church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It’s amazingly similar to listening to progressive leftists describe conservatives.
27:36 2nd Corinthians 12:2 Paul is actually not the one caught up to the third heaven. He says he knew a guy who was. And he says he knew a guy who went to paradise and heard unspeakable things not lawful to be uttered. Idk if he is talking about the same guy or not.
47:13 if anything it had more to do with the general authority stopping people from going to church, going to the temple. That rocked people’s faith. I personally felt the old ship Zion was being steered by fauci more than Christ at the time but what can you do. Then there are those who study secular church history. Podcasts critical of the church start popping up everywhere. It wasn’t just one thing.
Yes, I know one lifelong LDS woman who left the church because she was disillusioned by their submission to the medical establishment instead of their faith tenets.
This is something you should have talked about with Dallas from Dallas
Yes I was thinking the same thing. Dallas Chosen producer.
With all due respect, that was not the purpose of that interview. It was to highlight what I believe is a biblical representation of the life of Jesus which is The Chosen. It wasn’t to debate Mormon beliefs.
Pastor Bryan, your statement is misleading at 6:00. The prophet would never say he is not a Christian. Unfortunately, you came up with that conclusion by trying to interpret something different from what was actually said. Gordon B. Hinckley is one of the kindest, wisest, and loving individuals I have ever learned from. Christ's restored gospel is once again on the earth. I invite all to find this out themselves by taking faith to explore the message of the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ taught from the message of the Book of Mormon and asking God, not man, not your pastor, not your neighbor, not even your friend who may be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints but to ask God. Understanding how God answers, what he will answer, how he communicates to us in different ways will help us recognize the answer to that prayer. There are so many voices out there that distract us, that deceive us, that cause many to miss the mark however through the power of the Holy Ghost we may know the truth of all things.
God has told me what the true, original gospel is. It's in I Corinthians 15:1-4.
Christ has already done the one work that was necessary to reconcile us to God when he shed his blood on the cross, died, and rose again. Like the thief on the cross, all anyone needs to do is repent of their sins and put their faith in what Jesus Christ has already done for them. ✝️ 💕
Jesus Christ never required anyone to believe the Book of Mormon is true, join a church, tithe, go through a worthiness interview, earn forgiveness, get a temple recommend,go through an Endowment Ceremony, learn secret grips, tokens, signs, handshakes, and passwords, do temple work, wear temple garments, etc..
You can trust Jesus. 🕊
Pres Hinkley did say you folliw anotger Christ.
Thanks!
It has taken me several days to listen to this all the way through, due to busyness on my part. I am from an area of California with a high Mormon population (not nearly as high as Utah, but pretty high). All my life, it was understood that Mormonism was a different religion than Christianity. Then, in the late 90's, when I was in community college, I had a lot of Mormon classmates and professors, and they all claimed to be Christian, and it totally confused me (I had come from a Christian high school, and later went to a Bible college) . That time at community college was my only "secular" education, and the indoctrination into Mormonism was the biggest culture shock--a lot more than the liberal or worldly stuff in the system. I was familiar with a lot of the info in this video, but it was still really interesting, and good reminders. Great presentation.
Just curious: have you actually talked to any LDS scholars or informed members instead of dunking on them from a distance?
Who cares!!! Mormons are fake
"dunking on them"? What seems to be the problem?
@@eclipse-sh1qmZ3mOtcua I believe I've already said what the problem was.
There's no dunking going on here. Aside from a few unimportant details, everything he says about Mormonism is accurate. By the way, to "dunk on" someone is to display your own superior skill or knowledge with the intent to show off. It doesn't mean what you seem to think it means.

MORMON’S IMPOSSIBLE GOSPEL
Moroni 10:32
“IF you deny yourselves of ALL ungodliness… THEN is his grace sufficient for you.”
Did you notice the IF / THEN statement?
That’s a conditional statement.
So - how much ungodliness do you need to get rid of? Some? Most of? 60%?
Moroni 10:32 states you need to deny “ALL” ungodliness.
What are you if you get rid of ALL ungodliness?
Perfect.
Now, we know it’s impossible to be perfect without grace - and yet, according to this scripture grace doesn’t start until AFTER you are perfect.
This means grace is unattainable for Mormons.
-
The Book of Mormon has other passages which support this:
2 Nephi 25:23
“We are saved by grace, AFTER all we can do.”
When do you get the grace?
Have you done all that you can do?
Have you ever had 1 day in your whole life where you did all you could do?
You couldn’t have prayed another minute?
So - can anyone ever be saved???
-
Mormon scripture is consistent about this:
Alma 11:37
“And I say unto you again, that he cannot save them in their sins. For I cannot deny his word, and ye have said no unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of heaven. Therefore how can you be saved except you enter the kingdom of heaven?
Therefore you cannot be saved in your sins.”
That’s like saying you’ve got to get out of the water before I’m going to save you from drowning.
The Christian Jesus isn’t a swimming coach - He’s a lifeguard.
If they say, “it just means do your best” - no:
First Nephi 3:7
“And it came to pass that I nee-phi said unto my father , “I will go and do the things which the Lord has commanded. For I know that the Lord giveth no commandment unto the children of men save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commanded them.””
Is it possible for the Mormon god to give you a command you can’t keep?
Did he tell you to deny yourself of ALL ungodliness?
Did he tell you to do all you can do?
Did he tell you you can’t be saved in your sins?
If they say, I’m doing the best I can - then ask - does it say Do the best you can?
So - can anyone be saved?
Read the whole chapter of Alma 34.
Which says you have to have repented of ALL sin before you die, otherwise you will be sealed to Satan.
AND:
a reminder:
Moroni 10:32
“IF you deny yourselves of ALL ungodliness… THEN is his grace sufficient for you.”
This is confirmed by:
Doctrines and Covenants 82:7
“And now, verily I say unto you, I, the Lord, will not lay any sin to your charge; go your ways and sin no more; BUT UNTO THAT SOUL WHO SINNETH SHALL THE FORMER SINS RETURN, saith the Lord your God.”
Doctrines and Covenants 82:9-10
“I give unto you directions how you may act before me, that it may turn to you for your salvation. I, the Lord, am bound when ye do what I say; BUT WHEN YE DO NOT WHAT I SAY, YE HAVE NO PROMISE.“
Under those conditions - who can be saved???

"Trying is not sufficient. Nor is repentance complete when one merely tries to abandon sin,"
Spencer Kimball 12th President of LDS Church), The Miracle of Forgiveness, p150
The book just quoted, ‘THE MIRACLE OF FORGIVENESS,’ by Spencer Kimball (12th President and Prophet of the LDS Church) is approved and recommended by multiple LDS leaders:
Ezra Taft Benson (13th President of LDS Church) urged all church members "to read and reread President Spencer Kimball's book."
(from ‘In His Steps’ 1988).
LDS Church apostle Richard G. Scott called ‘The Miracle of Forgiveness’ a "masterly work" (‘Peace of Conscience and Peace of Mind, 2004) and “a superb guide.” (Finding Forgiveness, 1995).
A whole lot of work for something that's free
@SpielbergMichael Read Matt 5:48 The Savior is asking you to deny yourselves of all ungodliness by this... "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." Matt 5:48 We can only be perfect through the Savior & we can only deny ungodliness through him as well. It is two different ways of saying the same thing. Only the Savior was perfect, he would not ask us to do something that can not be done in Matt 5:48. "With God all things are possible." Matt 19
@@Rodney_tubeviewHello there friend,
I’m afraid you have completely misunderstood the sermon on the Mount.
That’s not necessarily your fault, there are bad translations, and also you could have been lead into the wrong understanding by bad teachers.
When Jesus said:
“Therefore you shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”
Matthew 5:48 NASB2020
He was NOT saying you must be perfect, and must obey perfectly.
In short, what the sermon on the Mount is actually saying is: God’s standard is far too high, and is sinful humans can never reach it - but thankfully there is a way to God through Jesus. In Matthew 5:48 Jesus is talking about what will happen in the future, not saying we have to obey perfectly to be saved.
“For by one offering He has PERFECTED for all time those who are sanctified.”
Hebrews 10:14 NASB2020
That’s why the New Testament is full of statements like these:
“For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from works”
Romans 3:28
“But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace.”
Romans 11:6
“For it is by GRACE you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the GIFT of God- NOT BY WORKS”
Ephesians 2:8-9
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that NOT OF YOURSELVES; it is the gift of God, NOT OF WORKS, lest anyone should boast.”
Ephesians 2:8-9 NKJV
If I give you a gift, do you have to do anything after that to have it?
----
The Mormon Gospel is a different Gospel to the one given in the New Testament.
The Mormon Gospel is a works based gospel - and, as I showed in my first comment, according to Mormon scriptures, you don’t get ANY grace until AFTER you have rid yourself perfectly of all sin and performed various works.
I could literally quote dozens and dozens of New Testament verses which categorically contradict the Mormon works based (earn your own salvation) Gospel:
“But to the one who does NOT work, but believes in Him who justifies the UNGODLY, his faith is credited as righteousness,”
Romans 4:5
“But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy,”
Titus 3:4-5
“but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.” (of obedience or by your life of obedience, which is it?)
Romans 5:8-10
“For as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous.”
Romans 5:19
@@SpielbergMichael Wait Friend are you telling me that you have the original copy that Matthew wrote himself? You holding out on the one & only copy in the World directly from Apostle Matthew?! WHY?!
You Must really not like the Apostle James. James speaks of Faith & Works in James chapter 1 & 2. You did not quote him once.
We are save by the Free Gift of Grace & you gave many examples quotes on Grace, Thanks. James speaks on how Faith in God will lead us to do Faithful Deeds for God. "So you see, we are shown to be right with God by what we do, not by faith alone." (James 2: 24)
James does let us know that In the Lords Church aka Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints we are Saved by Grace in Jame 4. Can you quote dozens of Verses in James an Apostle of the Lord & tell me that Faith alone is a requirement? Church of Jesus Christ of LDS are saved by Grace & we hear what the Savior said to the
Disciples, “If you love me, obey my commandments."(John 14:15) James teaches that Faith and Works for God are on the same Good side of how to Follow the Savior.
@@Rodney_tubeview Dear friend,
I will try to reply properly but it's difficult to in these brief comments.
I would really love to sit down with you and chat - I'm sure you're a nice person. There's just so much I'd like to present to you.
First of all, you wrote:
"are you telling me that you have the original copy that Matthew wrote himself? You holding out on the one and only copy in the world directly from the Apostle Matthew?!"
No, please read my comment again. I didn't say anything like that.
I quoted the NASB2020 (which is widely considered the best literal word for word translation:
"Therefore you **SHALL** be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect."
Matthew 5:48 NASB2020
It's widely translated this way:
"You **SHALL** be perfect, therefore, as your Heavenly Father is perfect."
Matthew 5:48 Berean Literal Translation
"Therefore you **SHALL** be perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."
Matthew 5:48 NKJV
"Therefore you **SHALL** be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect."
Matthew 5:48 NASB
"You, therefore, **WILL** be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect."
Matthew 5:48 AMP
"Ye therefore **SHALL** be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect."
Matthew 5:48 ASV
"Ye therefore **SHALL** be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect."
Matthew 5:48 ERV
"You **WILL** be perfect, as your Father who in the heavens is perfect."
Matthew 5:48 Literal Standard Version
"Ye **SHALL** therefore be perfect, as your Father who is in the heavens is perfect."
Matthew 5:48 Young's Literal Translation
"Therefore you** SHALL** be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect."
Matthew 5:48 World English Bible
These are *LITERAL* translations of the Greek.
Jesus is clearly NOT giving an order/instruction - no, He is giving a prediction of what He is going to do for us.
All of New Testament Scripture supports this:
Hebrews tells us that Jesus did it for us:
"For by ONE offering He has **PERFECTED** for all time those who are sanctified."
Hebrews 10:14
By you saying you perfect yourself, or help to perfect yourself, you are DENYING Jesus' ONE offering is good enough. You are denying Christ and saying you don't want His offering applied to you.
"For as through one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the ONE the many will be made righteous."
Romans 5:19
Humans don't make themselves righteous: Jesus (the ONE) does that for us!
Sinful humans CAN'T do anything to prefect themselves - anything we try to do to save ourselves UNCLEAN to God:
Isaiah 64:6 says our righteous deeds are FILTHY UNCLEAN RAGS to God
In Philippians 3:8 the Apostle Paul said he counted all of his righteousness before he knew Christ as UNCLEAN DUNG/EXCREMENT.
There is no 'good work' you can do BEFORE you are saved.
Any good work you try to do may appear good to you, but to God it is UNCLEAN and unacceptable.
-----------------------
Side note: even if you take other translations of Matthew 5:48, they still don't mean what you say it means:
"But you are to be perfect, even as your Father is perfect."
Matthew 5:48 NLT
That can still be interpreted as a prediction of what is going to happen for us.
"You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect."
Matthew 5:48 ESV
That can still be interpreted as, for example, a parent telling their child "You must have a school uniform to go to school - so therefore I will buy you one and provide you with one."
--------------------------
Your comment suggests you think this interpretation of the sermon on the mount is strange or unique to me. I think as a Mormon you have just been sheltered in your Mormon 'bubble' and haven't heard the widely held Christian understanding.
This is the interpretation widely taught/understood by most Christians - even in different denominations - for example Dr. Michael Brown (a Charismatic) teaches this, and so did R C Sproul (who was Reformed).
-------------------
About the book of James - I love the book of James.
I will send you another comment about James (because this comment is already very long).
The book of James completely supports everything I have told you.
You have a huge self0defeating problem because if your interpretation of James was true, it would mean there are hundreds of contradictions in the New Testament because the rest of the New Testament repeatedly clearly states salvation is NOT BY WORKS.
But I have no problem because James doesn't contradict anything in the New Testament - and I'm afraid, just as you misunderstand the Sermon on the Mount, you also hugely misunderstand James.
Absolutely love this!! You guys are on a roll!! ❤🎉
GOOOD timing, In light of a few atrocious child abuse/murder cases by Mormon women in the news, I wanted to revisit this cult and listen to the false ideologies of these women that perpetrate these crimes! Thank you for this interview!
Oh yeah, Mormon women be murdering everybody up in here. It’s crazy out there. 🤣 you people crack me up
You should know that's sensationalized fake news. Those cases have nothing to do with the church. There are more Latter-day Saints than Jews (17 million), just by pure random chance some of them are going to end up being criminals. When you actually look at demographic data, Latter-day Saints are the happiest, most well adjusted, most generous, and least criminally inclined of all christian groups.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches against murder and abuse in all forms, you are never less of a disciple of Christ than when you are abusing your fellow children of God. To quote the Book of Mormon "When you are in the service of your fellow beings, you are only in the service of your God."
Not an active Mormon here, never really practiced it myself, honestly... I have not read the Book of mormon actually. I just gotta say this, though, there have been many atrocious acts done by many of ppl from all religions, theists and secular. Get off your high horse; by your comment I can tell you feel yourself to be superiorin your beliefs. There are good and bad ppl in all things, all walks of life. As a whole most "Mormons" I know are highly rational, kind and generous beings. One thing I have always known about them is that they do believe in Jesus Christ (I always heard more about Christ than I did of Joseph Smith), and I have always thought of them as Christian cause that is what I was raised to know them as. They have a strong sense of family and service, and that is admirable.
This is a horrid thing on the right and now I see "Christians," you all have to be right and better than the others... what matter in the end is our relationship with Christ, thats what I understand.
Only thing I really remember of Joseph Smith was that he was trying to find out which Christian chirch was the "true" church, a question that resonates with me for sure... there are so many and what are the differences. Hmm.
@Jpotts9161, I mean, like Evangelical Christians have never actually engaged in murder, abuse, molestation, rape, and the like. ***rolls eyes***
what kind of a comment?
That is why it is so important to test everything we are being taught against scripture to know weither or not it is from God
30:12 let me give you an example. Paul is on the road to Damascus and receives the theophany of Jesus. He says he goes to the wilderness to be taught for 3 years by the Lord. When he comes back, he preaches that there is no Jesus Christ. It’s all a damned lie and not to believe the gospel. He would be what we call a Son of Perdition. One who had perfect knowledge and crucified Jesus afresh. He would be cast into outer darkness with the devil and his angels.
Revelation 21:8 All liars will have their part in the lake which burns with fire.
God standards are much higher than man's.
Everyone is on their way to hell. Romans 3 There is none righteous, no not one.
It is only by the grace of God that anyone gets into heaven.
Christ said that few people would get into heaven. Matthew 7:13-14
Jesus Christ doesn't follow the teachings of the LDS church.
@@Elizabeth-rk3do I agree with Revelation 21:8. The Lake of Fire is not outer darkness. Matthew 7:13-14 is talking about the way that leads to life.
I am curious how you interpret revelation 20:12-15. The sea, death and Hell, release their dead to be judged out of the books, according to their works. Why is the Bible teaching that man is judged by his works?
@kcbutts2724
Unbelievers are judged by their works.
The works of the LDS church consist of:
Idolatry- the worship of an exalted man from another planet that had to work his way to Godhood, lives near a star named Kolob, practices polygamy, is the literal father of Jesus Christ, damns people who deny the eternal principle of polygamy (D&C 132), and threatened to destroy Emma if she didn't abide by her husband's adultery. (D&C 132:54, 64)
Blasphemy - Mocking Jesus Christ and saying that Christ is a created being the brother of Satan. Mocking God the Father and saying he practices polygamy and one of his wives is your mother in the pre-existence.
Lying - Christ requires 10% of your income, a worthiness interview, confession of sins to a bishop, a temple recommend, an Endowment Ceremony, put on Lucifer's power and priesthoods, learn secret grips, tokens, signs, handshakes, and passwords, make a blood oath, get married, do temple work, etc.
Yes. You will be judged by these works.
Like a criminal, you won't be judged on all the good things you have done but on all the wrong things you have done.
@@Elizabeth-rk3do oof okay then! 👍
Mulțumim!
I live in an even more Mormon place than SLC. I am in SE Idaho. I am just minutes from Rexburg and this is a good video. For a few years now I have had a near impossible time witnessing to them. They are adapting Christin lingo into their own beliefs. But many times they mean something different. So be careful. I can state something they very much used to believe and not they will get mad and say "don't tell me what I believe " and usually shuts down discussions. So this gentleman is correct is saying to ask what they believe on different subjects. I knew they changed thier google maps listing to crosses already. Even something as simple as tithes is complex with them. (They believe they have Levites) So to witness to them you need to work hard at building a trusting relationship with them and over time you can pick little things apart in thier beliefs. But do it with love, if you attack thier religion, they are done talking to you.
They can not have Levite Priest's because they are not Jewish Hebrews and they are not in Jerusalem with Yahweh's Temple!!!!!
I got a Mormon ad before this video
Mormon here, hope you could tell it’s nothing like what this guy is saying :)
@@GadiantonsRobber What did he say that was wrong?
I don't think any LDS would accept what you are saying simply because of the title of your video. As a Biblical Christian who, like you, I would not use that word Satanic. Is there another word that you could use that may also get their attention in a better view and still say what you mean to say, like " the truth of mormonism vs biblical christianity." Using "Satanic" in the title may deter so many of them from watching and learning. That being said I do find this video educational and very helpful in understanding more about their church. and I thank you for this.
I understand what you mean. However, I have come to believe that the anti-Christ spirit rules this religion, and many others. In this case, it is Satanic.
I don't think so because these types of people like passive aggressiveness and toxic apologetics in order to stroke their narcissistic ego.
@@TimothyBerman Not everyone is like that though. There are many who are deceived into believing all of this and they are guilted into following in line. I have learned that from watching videos of people who have left and instead of going into Christianity they fall into Atheism. So the gospel is so important and if the title is offensive then they are not going to watch this video because they are taught and told not to watch anything that looks to be "anti-mormon". Paul says that in all things we need to show the truth in love no matter what the person is like.
Beautiful conversation ✅ insightful and enjoyable ✅ thank you both 🙋🏿♂️
Prayers out for those in the church out Jesus Christ of the latter day saints🕊️
His grace and mercy be upon you all and your loved ones 🕊️🥛🍯
This was loving, thoroughly done with gentle voices, no erratic interruptions, no time crunch rush. Thank you. No bashing, just concerning care and explaining. Mormon friends… give it a chance to listen please. ❤ Peace to all in Christ Jesus of Nazareth our Redeemer and Savior God ❤
Satan is a fallen Angel so how can he be our brother? If Jesus and Satan were our brother we should love Satan and he should be able to repent., but that is not the case… I hope the scales fall off their eyes. Satan has them hostage. Share the Truth in love Christian soldiers.
Yes but Angels are not Humans or Spirits they are on a different level. If Satan is an angel and he is our brother, that would make us angels as well. Unreal.
Hi, Latter-Day Saint here. I can explain what we believe about that. We believe that Jesus and Satan are both our brothers, and that we all lived with God before we came to Earth. God told us about His plan for us to come to Earth to gain physical bodies and experience. Satan tried to usurp Jesus Christ’s role in the plan, was denied, and rebelled against God. He chose to reject God while in His very presence, committing the unforgivable sin. There is no repentance from that. He is damned eternally based on his own choices.
And for angels, we do believe that they are people in a different state of existence, as when Moses appeared to Christ and the apostles in the Mount of Transfiguration. Normally we consider the word “angel” to be a servant of God who has died and not been resurrected yet, but angel can be used in a broader context to included people who have been resurrected or translated, and sometimes people who weren’t born yet appeared as angels. But they are all people, all children of God the way we are.
Jesus is our elder brother, in the sense that Jesus Christ is a man. It's in the New Testament. (They will bring this up.)
Jesus Christ was also God in the flesh.
@emiliegossage923 Thanks. According to the Bible, God created angels first. Job 38:1-7
Angels are men, do not procreate, and are incorporeal. They are spirits. They are messengers of God.
Satan and his followers sinned once and were immediately sentenced to eternal torment in hell. Jesus Christ never died on the cross for angels/demons. (Some demons sinned so egregiously in the days of Noah that they were immediately imprisoned. I Peter 3:19-20. Jesus declared his victory over them. They never repented.)
Unlike angels, human beings are made in the image of God. Of course, God the Father is invisible and a spirit. I Timothy 1:17; Colossians 1:15; Hebrews 11:27;
We are made in the image of God in the sense that we can commune with our Creator . We are made in the image of God mentally, morally, and socially.
No angel is supposed to be our brother. That was not and is not God’s design and purpose for angels. We do not fellowship with them. We do not worship with them.
They have roles defined by God and our relationship with any of them, let alone one called Satan, are not the same as our relationship with fellow disciples.
I always ask my Mormon friends about Christ as a created being. I ask them how a piece of fallen creation can redeem the whole. If Christ is not THE creator how can he redeem creation? If he is just us then how does his sacrifice in the cross work?
Jesus lived a perfect life, that's how he was able to atone for all of us. He was not fallen, he just lived in a fallen world for a time. Just like the lambs that were used as a sacrifice under the law of Moses to represent Jesus were "without spot", so too, was Jesus without spot.
Jesus Christ created this world under the direction of the Father, and Adam also was a part of it
@MRRANDOMZ11 The Creator can not be part of the creation.
The person who makes a cake can not be part of the cake.
The person who builds a car must exist independently and outside of the car.
The person who builds a house must exist independently and outside of the house.
Whoever created the universe must exist independently and outside of the universe. ✨️
God did not come from another planet. God doesn't live near a star named Kolob. God doesn't practice polygamy.
@Elizabeth-rk3do I legit built my own house and I live in it just fine. Sorry, but that argument makes zero sense to me. You don't think God the Father had a hand in making our world? So he has to just sit it out? Nah, he's involved in everything we do just like Jesus. To say otherwise puts a limit on God's capability
@@LajRa5 Drywall and stucco can't build a house. Only someone who exists independently of the house can build the house.
God can not possibly be a human being. Human beings can not speak a universe into existence from nothing, ✨️ create a human being out of the dust of the ground and Eve out of Adam's rib, know the names of all the billions of trillions of stars (Psalm 147:4), know how many hairs are on the heads of over 8 billion people at all times, raise the dead and raise themselves from the dead as Christ did (John 2:19).
You can not even make a blade of grass out of nothing or speak a pizza into existence.
You are vastly inferior to your Creator.
No Latter-day Saint will ever become a god.
At around 22:26: Yes, we mormons believe there is god the father, and God the son- 2 very distinct personages- and the Bible proves it. What did Jesus himself say to Mary, at the tomb? "Touch me not, for I have not yet ascended to my father, and to your father; and to my god, and your god". Proving that we have the very same father of our spirit, as jesus does; and that he worships the very same god that we do- which statement makes us literal brothers and sisters to Jesus, in our spiritual creation, or in our spiritual bodies, when we were first created, in what is known as the pre-existence. What is so hard to understand about that teaching, or displeasing?
How do you reach someone with the Word if they can just say it is not translated correctly?
Research the translation and see if it has been translated correctly so you can refute them.
Start at Deuteronomy 32:8-9. First read your Bible and then see what was in the early manuscript we have of the bible, the Septuagint.
@blgreen because some of us have studied textual criticism and how the translation of the Old and New Testament came to be, reading Biblical scholarship in peer review journals, and seeing how the Masoretes redacted much of the Old Testament. Something that is confirmed by the Dead Sea Scrolls and the much earlier translation of the LXX/Septuagint.
I love this video! I’m in Arizona and I’m always looking for ways to help explain the differences. This video is an absolute blessing.
I’m in AZ too. Queen Creek. My wife and I left Mormonism. My family was very disappointed and now I try to share the true gospel to them but it’s very touchy slow process. Especially my mother. She at least understands Now and is happy we are happy but she can’t get past her own feelings.
One of the biggest blasphemies for me is saying God was once a man like us that ascended to godhood. They believe one day they can be gods too. That’s exactly what Satan believes, Satan wants to usurp God. And the fact that they consider Jesus and Satan spirit brothers is making Satan equal with Jesus and God. Don’t get me started on how this thinking (along with secret handshakes to get into heaven) is related to Joseph Smith being a Freemason.
Lilteepot: "One of the biggest blasphemies for me is saying God was once a man like us that ascended to godhood." The only problem with that criticism is that we members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints do not believe that, and are not taught that. I have been a member for 46 years. We members believe we are the Spirit children of our Heavenly Father. Hebrews 12:9 (AKJV) "Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?"
"Jesus and Satan spirit brothers is making Satan equal with Jesus and God." No, it does not! Revelation 12:7 (AKJV) "And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Isaiah 14:12 (AKJV) How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the amost High. 15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit."
@@dleoburns Why are you misrepresenting our beliefs? I am also a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I've been a member LONGER than you have. For some reason, it has become _fashionable_ for members of the Church to think they are defending the Church by going around denying this DOCTRINE. You're really not helping matters by showing yourself to be a deceiver.
And the Prophet, Gordon B. Hinckley didn't help matters when he told an interviewer "I don't know that we teach that." When he did know that we _BELIEVE_ that. He was just playing games using his careful wording by saying "teach that."
The game playing needs to stop. You know very well that the Prophet Joseph Smith preached the King Follet Sermon (aka a Discourse) in 1844 at General Conference. In that Sermon he taught that God, our Father, is an exalted man.
As man now is, God once was:
As God now is, man may become.
Subsequent Prophets have all taught us that our goal in life is to live well enough that we can obtain exaltation. We have a unique religion. Be Proud of it.
Brigham Young taught this
John Taylor taught this
Wilford Woodruff taught this
and on and on
Summary:
All the Prophets since Joseph Smith have taught this, and it is the meaning of the word "Exaltation." So what if others don't understand. That's their problem. You're not going to convert anyone to the Church by deceiving them into starting out in the church where they will certainly see and hear the word "Exaltation" used.
You should be proud of our beliefs.
There are many beautiful teachings. We should OWN them, and not go around trying to fool people into thinking we are just like them by denying our Doctrines.
For others who are reading this, look up the LDS Hymn "If you Could Hie to Kolob." It's a very beautiful hymn.
And, so what if we believe God was once a man? Eternity is a long, long time. What do you think YOU will be doing for Eternity?
In Mormonism you get to progress Eternally. You get to grow, and learn always. You change and become better and better over time. After a long Eternity of becoming Better and Better and progressing and improving constantly you become good enough to graduate. So you get your own planet. What's wrong with that?

eclipse-sh1qmZ3mOtcua: “David Burns Why are you misrepresenting our beliefs?” “For some reason, it has become fashionable for members of the Church to think they are defending the Church by going around denying this DOCTRINE.” I do not believe you know what the Doctrine is. Have you ever even heard of the Standard Works of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? I would direct you to Doctrine & Covenants/Introduction/paragraph #3: “The book of Doctrine and Covenants is one of the standard works of the Church in company with the Holy Bible, the Book of Mormon, and the Pearl of Great Price.” I would ask you where the King Follet Sermon (aka a Discourse) is found in the Standard Works.
“A full, verbatim account of the speech does not exist, but notes exist, taken contemporaneously, by Thomas Bullock (using a type of personal shorthand), William Clayton (writing in longhand), and Willard Richards (taking "minute"-style notes of major elements of the speech).[3] Wilford Woodruff also took extensive contemporaneous notes and transferred the notes to his journal with editorializations, but his original notes were not preserved.[3] One author (Searle) estimates that the surviving notes of the sermon contain roughly 30% of the words of the actual address, but that together, they are likely nearly topically complete.[4]” [Wikipedia/King Follett discourse/Text]
What did Joseph Smith, Jr. say about the final estate of those who inherited exaltation in the Celestial Kingdom? Doctrine & Covenants 132:20 “Then shall they be gods, because they have no end; therefore shall they be from everlasting to everlasting, because they continue; then shall they be above all, because all things are subject unto them. Then shall they be gods, because they have all power, and the angels are subject unto them.” This is consistent with Biblical teachings. Psalm 82:6 (AKJV) “I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.” John 10:34 (AKJV) “Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?” Hebrews 12:9 (AKJV) “Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?”
“Dallin H. Oaks explains: "Revelations from God ... are not constant. We believe in continuing revelation, not continuous revelation. We are often left to work out problems without the dictation or specific direction of the Spirit."[14] Thus, the current prophet can clarify, correct or change any previous teachings.[15]
However, once a doctrine has been accepted by the church by "common consent", it becomes part of the standard works, and then takes precedence over any other revelation.[16] Members of the LDS church only consider themselves bound by doctrine found in the standard works.[17]” [Wikipedia/Revelation in Mormonism/Inspired vs. infallible.]
39:59 that’s a matter of interpretation. The Bible contradicts itself numerous times
Thank you for exposing these frauds. Ex Mormon here.
This video is just one of thousands, if not more that have exposed the error of many false religions, LDS is but one of those. I believe the following:
Sola scriptura (Latin for 'by scripture alone') is a Christian theological doctrine held by most Protestant Christian denominations. Any other Book does an injustice to Him and those who seek Him. Tradition and what church you attend or building you have services in fall far short of the inspired Holy Bible. There's a difference between inspired
by God and Man's religion.
Jack N. McDickleday is my favorite youtuber making videos on this exact subject. So much great insight. His videos are kind of hard to find and I'm not sure I got the spelling right. Ask your bible group the next chance you get, I'm sure someone will know about him. Shalom! 🕊️
@@BFOJ0000 Sola scriptura robs you of the organisation that Jesus was head of. He called apostles. he gave them authority. Where does one who relies Soley on the bible get their authority ??? Bible is clear no man can take on the authority of god themselves. Men who tried to steady the ark of the covenant with no authority died. Jesus went to John the baptist to be baptised as he held the keys of baptism and the aaronic priesthood. Mans religion is one without his authority therefore if you base your authority on mans interpretation of scripture with no living prophet, no priesthood then who is really following the interpretations of man?
Allen, you say in the first minute how much you LOVE us, and want to RESPECT us, and then you LOVE this comment that calls us FRAUDS? What does this say about you?
In terms of what he says about works, it's important to note that in Christianity salvation isn't achieved by works, it is a free gift of God by faith through grace. But once saved we are called to do good works. One of the biggest passages that points this out is the great commission which says, "go into all the world making disciples of all men, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit". Works has its place in Christianity, it's just not something that is required for salvation and forgiveness.
Yes, after we are saved, we are now rooted in Christ. So, we are able to bear good fruit in the form of good works. Before we are saved, we are technically incapable of doing good works because we aren’t rooted in Christ.
Very well put! Thanks 👍🏽
@Steve_P_B you are aware that Paul also says we are saved by Hope in Romans 8:24-27; and that we are also saved by reconciliation Romans 5:10, and that we are saved by the preaching of the Gospel 1 Corinthians 1:21. So, tell me again how Sola Gratia and Sola Fide are Biblical? Or is Paul confused and ignorant of what he is teaching? Or are you just plain illiterate of how to properly interpret and understand scripture?
@@TimothyBerman You are missing the point, hope is not works, salvation is not by works, but works comes as a product of being saved. Read Ephesians 2
Ephesians 2:8-10
[8] For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God- [9] not the result of works, so that no one may boast. [10] For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life.
We are saved by grace through faith, but once saved we are called to good works
As for preaching, that's not what 1 Corinthians 1:21 says at all
1 Corinthians 1:21 NRSV
[21] For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, God decided, through the foolishness of our proclamation, to save those who believe.
We are not saved through us preaching but rather others are saved because we share the gospel with them through preaching and they believe in the gospel.
I am not at all missing the point because, unlike you relying on typical Eisegesis interpretation and talking points, I understand exactly what Paul is talking about here. He is not talking about grace only and faith only that is a byproduct and doctrinal introduction from the Protestant Reformation.
What gives any Christian (or non-Christian) person or denomination the right to apply or deny the label “Christian” to any other denomination? Show me where in the Bible this definition is created or enforced?
In the most basic definition, a Christian is someone who is a follower of Jesus Christ. Following Christ by embodying both the beliefs of the Christian faith by believing in Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection (orthodoxy), and also by putting that faith into action as true disciples of Christ (orthopraxy).
Furthermore, the word Christian is used three times in the Bible (Acts 11:26; Acts 26:28; 1 Peter 4:16). In each instance the Greek word Christianos is used, which is defined Biblically as a follower of Christ (2). The word Christ, which is the root of the world Christian, is defined as the Messiah or anointed One, referring to Jesus Christ (3).
I’d say if you’re really following the Bible as truth and right, then Mormons (members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) would clearly fall into the category of Christian based on scripture.
Look in your own hearts, focus on your own salvation rather than attacking others who are only trying to do the same. You don’t ever see Mormons attacking other denominations, or trying to enforce their own made up definition of who can be in the cool kids club.
WOW! Very powerful, kind video! Thank you!
LOVE the entire video ESPECIALLY the way you both met! So beautiful 🙌🏼🫶🏼 praise be to God, the one and only!
You should know that most of what's said in this video is false. No Latter-day Saint would agree with how they've presented their beliefs.
@@KnuttyEntertainmentit’s a cult
@@danreich4320 How do you define cult?
@@KnuttyEntertainment what is your definition?
@@danreich4320 I find cult to be a reductive and obfuscated term, so I would only use it in an anthropological context wherein it refers to “A system or community of religious worship and ritual.”
The one question I think I would ask a Mormon is why the "restoration " was necessary if Jesus is true (The Truth) and the Holy Spirit is not a failure?
Specifically, the Restoration of the church? If the true gospel was no longer being preached and the true church had gone extinct sometime after the 1st century, that would make Jesus a liar and the Holy Sprit a failure.
"John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever-"
"Matthew 28:20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen."

Yeah I’m also confused by that. Jesus was the restoration - He restored dead sinners to life, He restored us to a right relationship with God, He sent us the Holy Spirit. What more do we need/want?
@@gtf5392 They don't understand Acts 1:6 and 3:21
AWW8472: Acts 3:20 (AKJV) "And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: 21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began."
The Mormon church, is established and ran by the bloodline of the ANTI CHRIST
We still have prophecy too. The gufts haven't stopped. The thing is God's prophecy can be confirmed in Scripture
I'm in Canada and found myself in Alberta which is right above the area of Utah. It's beautiful here in comparison to where I am from (Ontario near NY). The sun shines 333 days of the year. There are many mormons here. I was just approached by one the other day who said the Mormon church has done great things for her family which is what many Catholics tell me as well. So even though they may not fully know Jesus they love being Mormon. I hope to continue my way across this great land and make my way into the states one day and speak to the many people. God' love must be shared. God Bless.
18:30 I got stopped my Mormon missionaries on campus the other day, asked them if they believe this exact thing about being saved after all we can do and they denied it. It seems that some articles online from LDS are also trying to explain this away as it's so obviously problematic (eg. by saying "after" actually means "in spite of"). Is the official Mormon teaching changing or were they trying to trick me?
No that comes from the Book of Mormon. 2 Nephi 25:23.
They may be trying to change things. I met with some Mormon missionaries last year and they tryed to downplay that verse aswell.
They believe they have a prophet and other leadership that can still write Scripture and doctrine so Mormon doctrine is never static. Something could always change.
@@thebeatagp
I see 2 Nephi 25:23 used as proof that we believe in a works based salvation. I think this is wrong.
Before we can understand this passage we need to understand Nephi and his time period. He is of the house of Israel living 600 years before Christ under the law of Moses.
The rest of the chapter after that is all about the law of Moses.
Vs 24 we keep the law of Moses, and look forward with steadfastness unto Christ,
Vs 25 wherefore the law hath become dead unto us, and we are made alive in Christ
Vs 27 Wherefore, we speak concerning the law that our children may know the deadness of the law; and they, by knowing the deadness of the law, may look forward unto that life which is in Christ,
Vs 28 the right way is to believe in Christ and deny him not; for by denying him ye also deny the prophets and the law
Vs 30 inasmuch as it shall be expedient, ye must keep the performances and ordinances of God until the law shall be fulfilled which was given unto Moses.
Therefore it is my understanding that Nephi is saying he and his posterity are saved by Grace after the law of Moses. (The law of Moses is all Nephi can do). He recognizes he is saved by Grace not the law of Moses. Nephi is testifying that his works don’t save him.
I am saved by Jesus’ Grace. He has offered himself a sacrifice for my sin. He has fulfilled the demands of Justice against me for my disobedience. I now want to follow him with my whole heart which includes turning away from all my sin and entering into his covenants which he has restored through the prophet Joseph Smith. It is my desire to follow Jesus that keeps me in the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
@maxxiong
Context is so important. Please read the whole chapter. Using 2 Nephi 25:23 to say we believe in a works based salvation would be like saying Philippians 2:12 teaches a works based salvation. If that’s all you ever heard from the Bible you would think it teaches works based salvation. Similarly if you only read 2 Nephi 25:23 you will also believe the Book of Mormon teaches a works based salvation.
@seanwilson
The gospel of Christ was a Mystery = Romans 16:25,26/ Ephesians 6:19.
Nobody knew about Jesus death burial and resurrection before His death in the Bible.
But the book of Mormon teaches that the gospel of Christ was preached before Jesus death, which is not true.
The book of Mormons teaches lies.
Washington DC would not allow Utah to gain statehood unless they stopped polygamy (Utah was a Mexican territory at the time). Then, poof!, the "prophet" had a revelation from God saying they no longer were to practice polygamy. Quite the coincidence wouldn't you say?
You must be misled polygamy was always a sect of LDS. It deterred away from its actual teachings.
And now, my sons, remember, REMEMBER that it is upon the rock of OUR REDEEMER, who is CHRIST, the Son of God, that ye must BUILD YOUR FOUNDATION; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they CANNOT FALL.
You sir, are extraordinary in your efforts , to bring the light of Jesus to this cult.
Thank you for this - very helpful. Just one thing - I don’t believe we can be true ‘friends’ with a Mormon. Yes, we must be kind, respectful, caring etc., speaking the Truth in love and showing the love and light of Jesus to all, but friendship is not possible. James 4;4
There's no hate like Christian love. Hope you can overcome hate and find love for your neighbor
Wow. What an interpretation of James 4:4! Rather it is about eschewing the world and worldly things. But, noted…. This attitude really attracts one to your exclusive faith! Not. Who was it who said “ Love thy enemies”…if that’s what you want to label the LDS. I believe it was Jesus Christ himself.
Kingdom of the Cults by Dr. Walter Martin is a must read. Unfortunately most Christians are unprepared for the cults twisted doctrines and changed word meanings.
I have that book! It is awesome!
You should know that both this video and that book are full of false anti-mormon propaganda. Talk to actual Latter-day Saints, they don't believe most of this stuff.
@@KnuttyEntertainment oh no? so you believe Isaiah 43:10? Or do you believe others have or ever could attain godhood? Before him there was no other, nor will there ever be after.... we both know you believe others have and can attain Godhood...this is blasphemy
Yes, that book is YOUR scripture, and that MAN is your prophet. It is because of these kinds of things that you feel "most Christians are unprepared..." All I can suggest is to not be a lazy learner, but dig deeper and study ALL things out, including the Book of Mormon. Don't be afraid of God. Don't be afraid of being curious and studying things. College is like this too.
@@grantpajohnson Wait, are you saying that the Kingdom of the Cults is my book and Walter Martin is my Prophet? Wrong. This book was one of many I read and was the beginning of my study into the history of the Mormon church. Look into the history of the church. How did they begin? I have the Book of Mormon. I have talked to LDS members and asked questions about doctrine. The Bible is the Word of God.
They believe that Jesus was once a man like us who 'worked his way up' to become a God and that we can also become Gods. Heresy.
They are blasphemous people. They can spray paint a turd gold but it’s still a turd…..Joseph’s myth is damning and straight from the hell
So that is not true.The Savior offered Himself to be our Savior, before the earth existed.Lucifer opposed the plan of salvation, and his smooth speech drew away one third of our former brothers and sisters, who supported his lies, and so there was war in heaven! Satan was cast out, as well as all who had supported him in any way. The only reason, we become anything at all, is because of what Christ has done for us,changing our natures,rescueing us from the grasp of sin, by His sacrifice for us.And so, from age to age we take on the Lord's divine attributes, not of ourselves, but by grace offered to us through Christ Jesus.The Savior understands us, He too went from childhood, adolesence, and into adulthood.He knew hunger, thirst, rejection and the hatred of the world .All of these things and much more He endured for you and I .Yours in Christ, Dan.
@ The problem is …Mormons don’t know who Christ is. They worship a false Christ that never existed,they worship a Christ that is satans brother. He’s God ,the great I Am . The creator of everything….including Satan . Nor did God come down from heaven and hav3 sex with Mary ….Joseph’s myth is just that,a fabrication of his perverted mind
19:45 this is moving, i didnt realize as a Christian ive been like a Mormon from living here for so long
They just knocked at my door as soon as I got the notification to the video. Much needed.
Haha! Run, run….happy people….. RUN 😂
God wanted to ensure that you got to hear the truth and sent his servants to testify to you personally so that you can know how the things said in this video are inaccurate to what Latter-day Saints actually believe.
@@KnuttyEntertainment God wants us to know of Him, about Him, to believe in Jesus, and to become a Child of His. The Holy Bible is His Word. Why would we accept another Gospel or Book that is in conflict with the Word of God? I would suggest to you that if you think that there were some things in the video are inaccurate then you need to learn more about the LDS beliefs and compare it with what the Bible reads.
Praise the Lord you heard the truth before the deceptive whisper came.
Forty years ago my mother-in-law opened the door to those boys and within one sitting, she got convinced because she did not know her Bible (parents’ fault). This decision changed the trajectory of her entire family’s lives who then became Mormon.
Thank God, my husband loves to read so he read all sorts of books in his teens and then fled from the Mormon church in high school. But still his parents and sister (and her kids) are still Mormon. The only Mormons in the entire family history. Ugh!
@@BFOJ0000 1. the Bible never says the Bible is God's word. the Bible never talks about the Bible. It's just a greatest hits album of the writings of prophets and scribes. Some of those writings are called the word of God, but there's nothing special about putting those writings into a collection, there's no reason for the collection to exist other than the convenience of having one book on your shelf instead of 50. The Bible also mentions like 20 other books of authoritative scripture that were lost by the time the Bible was compiled.
2. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches the same gospel as is found in the Bible, and the Book of Mormon doesn't contradict the Bible, rather the Bible prophesies about the Book of Mormon. (ironically the Bible never prophesies about the Bible, though the Book of Mormon does.)
3. I'm a religious studies major. I go to college for this stuff. I have researched Latter-day Saint history and theology for years. I've read all of their scriptures cover to cover, including the Bible. How many times have you read the Book of Mormon? How many Latter-day Saints have you talked to about their beliefs? Or are you just going by the same recycled anti-mormon propaganda that you've seen promoted on the internet by non-mormons?
Sorry, don't mean to be rude. Just want you to know that I'm not ignorant about these things.
Wait I'm confused, the LDS Plan of Salvation actually brings about / offers more individuals an opportunity for salvation yet "Jesus isn't enough" ¿¿ Latter-day Saints are being baptized every day for those who haven't even heard of Christ or believed in Christ while here in the flesh, yet we don't preach grace right??
Meanwhile it's ok if someone says these individuals will burn in hell for not choosing to believe in Christ while in the flesh?? Who's really "diminishing Christ" here?
God is under no obligation to save anyone. Everyone knows that God exists. Those who have never heard of Christ will be judged on the light they did have. How well did they live up to the light that they had?
"It is appointed unto man once to die and after that the judgment."
Jesus Christ is the one who told the Pharisees that they were of their father the devil because they refused to believe that he was God. John 8 Christ said that their sins would not be forgiven and they would be condemned.
Who are you to stand in moral judgment of Jesus Christ?
@@Elizabeth-rk3do Judged on the light they did have? How do you determine that? By whether they are a good person? That sounds like works to me
@@Idk40003We are saved by Jesus's death on the cross...This Grace cannot be "worked for" but is given willingly.
@@las44usa I already know that.
@@las44usa Jesus death on the cross overcame the physical death. AS such all who have lived , is living and will live will recieve the gift of being resurrected. However salvation or the gift of eternal life only comes through the atonement where in the garden of gethsemane Jesus took on the sins of the world where he suffered so much that he bled from every pore and asked that his father remove the bitter cup. The gift of the atonement requires us to be one with Christ. IT is obtained by exercising faith, repenting of our sins, making and keeping covenants with god(baptism) and enduring to the end. Repentance is a daily thing even more often as we fall short of the perfect example that Jesus set for us. You are right Grace cannot be worked for however "faith without works is dead" . Simply put works are a result of us exercising our faith. IT is written it simply not enough just to declare belief and do no more. OR to say you repent and continue to do the same sin? God will held us to account for our knowledge and everything we have done or NOT done, we will not be enough and this is where the atonement and the saviour JEsus Christ with his grace and mercy will make up the difference and blot out the mistakes we have repented for . AS it is written if we truly repent he will remember them no more and we will be purified by the atonement.
We have one grand uncle who is a mormon pastor, and one a baptist pastor and no matter how my baptist grand uncle tried to present the true Gospel, it just wasn't accepted by his mormon countepart. It was sad when my granduncle died in his faith.
46:52 yep. You have to make friends with your neighbors
They say that the Bible goes hand in hand with the Bible so I said since I don’t go by the book of mormon and we have the Bible in common then we can use that. I made them define everything. Their version of God was he was an exalted man. I said the bible says from everlasting to everlasting thou art God, and I the Lord change not, therefore you sons of Jacob are not consumed. I made them define everything because in the video the godmakers they said mormons use the same terminology but they define it different.
so you go to learn about a religion by watching "the godmakers" why don't you at least go to their official website to find out what they actually believe?
The problem is, folks not taking the scriptures literally and leaving the audience alone. Tribulation has a purpose and that is to redeem the nation of ISRAEL. Jesus came once as a child in His first coming, He then died, rose again and tells Mary touch me not for i have not yet ascended to my Father. He then Ascends and then returns again where He allows Thomas to put his hands in His hands and side... And He remained here 40 days before ascending again. So too, will He descend to the clouds to take His sheep home .. they will hear His voice and follow Him to meet in the air. He will then take us back to the Fathers House where He went to prepare a place for us. Once all nations gather to the Valley of Jehosaphat to attack His Earthly chosen people, He will descend again and ride back to Earth with the Army of the Church behind Him where He will trample down a great winepress and where the Church will gather up the wheat and tare with Him before setting up a 1000 year millennial Kingdom on this present Earth. 1 Corinthians 15:50-53 tells us flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. This corruption must put on incorruption and this mortal must put on immortality.. this is what is necessary to go to the Fathers House where Jesus currently is, however during the 1000 year millennial Kingdom where Christ will rule as King (Zechariah 12-14) there will be flesh and blood.. they will be born and die. And they will be required to cleanse themselves before entering to gather for the Feast of Tabernacles year after year that they will be required to do.. Ezekiel 38-40. There is a very distinct difference in the scriptures between the rapture and the return. ...
He IS COMING
There are 3 people groups by the end of it all... The Church, seen in Revelation 5:9-11 (a fulfillment of Prophecy) the resurrected Trib Saint Revelation 20:4 (two people groups in that scripture alone, those on Thrones given authority to judge AND those who are Resurrected) and the wheat and the tare, those trampled down in the winepress and those who live in human form and are left who will enter into a millennial Kingdom... Including the 144k who are all Virgin, Hebrew, Males.
Understanding the timing of the Revelation of Jesus Christ (a revealing of something once hidden) is key to knowing that Paul had no knowledge of the Trumpets In that Book. John wrote Revelation about 25 years AFTER the destruction of Israel by the Romans.
There was a resurrection after Christ Rose from the dead, many came out of their graves and APPEARED unto many. Thus there have been resurrections, the first resurrection in Revelation 20:4 (Again a revealing of things once hidden) is then the first in a new dispensation of time... Namely the Millennial Kingdom, a resurrection we too will preside over
I absolutely love that this video is the reason why Dave Boice from 52 churches in 52 weeks got baptized. Even when people try to tear down other people's faith, the strong still triumph through.
Amen
I have been a Mormon for 16 years now, and before, I never really saw anything false, suspicious, or wrong about the teachings of Mormonism, until the Holy Spirit began to do a tremendous and wonderful work in me and through me by revealing the infallible Word Of GOD.
Yes, I have always known the Holy Bible to be the only source of inspiration and revelation, and when I got to study both the Bible and the Book Of Mormon, I saw that the Book Of Mormon does contradict what the Bible says, and recently I feel like the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints is not the church built on the rock, being Jesus Christ because the teachings are not in line with the true gospel of Jesus Christ that is in the Bible,

@@Elizabeth-rk3do May GOD bless you too, I am truly thankful for the Bible scripture that have quoted.

8:48 To me the "shift" this guy is talking about it clear.
When many Americans were Christian it needed to be clear how Jesus Christ's church was different than others. Now that many Americans are losing faith in Christ the need is to bring people to Christ and so it's important to let non-believers know we believe in Christ.
I could be wrong but that's my guess.
Proud of you Pastor Bryan.

40:48 we believe the Bible because the Book of Mormon supports it as far as the covenant that God made with Israel and the testimony of the apostles concerning Jesus Christ. From 1 nephi 13:
“And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld that they did prosper in the land; and I beheld a book, and it was carried forth among them.
21 And the angel said unto me: Knowest thou the meaning of the book?
22 And I said unto him: I know not.
23 And he said: Behold it proceedeth out of the mouth of a Jew. And I, Nephi, beheld it; and he said unto me: The book that thou beholdest is a record of the Jews, which contains the covenants of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house of Israel; and it also containeth many of the prophecies of the holy prophets; and it is a record like unto the engravings which are upon the plates of brass, save there are not so many; nevertheless, they contain the covenants of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house of Israel; wherefore, they are of great worth unto the Gentiles.”
And again a revelation from God to Joseph Smith in D&C 10:
“52 And now, behold, according to their faith in their prayers will I bring this part of my gospel to the knowledge of my people. Behold, I do not bring it to destroy that which they have received, but to build it up.
53 And for this cause have I said: If this generation harden not their hearts, I will establish my church among them.
54 Now I do not say this to destroy my church, but I say this to build up my church”
Joseph Smith himself quoted from The Bible much more frequently than from The Book of Mormon because he was so familiar with it from his earliest years.
Most Latter-day Saints, like most mainstream Christians are lax in their scripture study, but there has only been a specific focus on The Book of Mormon since the leadership of President Ezra Taft Benson, who called church members to repentance for their far too casual study of The Book of Mormon.
D&C makes a reference to being Lax on reading the book of Mormon
