- The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, also known as the Mormon church or LDS church is a Christian denomination with millions of members worldwide. But what do they believe in? In this short video we’ll dive into the most important details, including their history, practices, beliefs, and just about anything else you’d need to know about Mormonism.

Thanks for this explanation. I know very little about Mormonism, and I just wanted an un-biased set of information.
If you know nothing about moronism then how can you determine if something is unbiased or not? 😅
@@bbyshady because there's no persuasion to like or dislike the lds church in the video. It's just stating information about the church/religion.
Same
@@IllustratetoEducate Some of the information but not all.
@@PatrickThreewit can you expound? I’m not sure I follow what you’re saying.
I was approached just now from this church. I told them I am a follower of a Christ not religion. They immediately left.
The scriptures state that there is one faith and one baptism! No altar calls or other BS is mentioned!
I'm happy that you follow Christ ❤
In the non-denominational Christian faiths they don't believe in following a religion.
You may really love this church called Venture their non-denominational and their amazing, they have a couple churches around if your interested.
I definitely get it, even though I'm lds I'm actually more spiritual than religious.
It's what's in your heart that truly matters❤
@@tiffanywilliams245 You are LDS?!? You must be inactive! Try to study the NT church!!!
@@tiffanywilliams245 You are an apostate former LDS!
@@GeorgeDemetz One baptism but the Catholics and Presbyterians sprinkle and the Baptists immerse. sounds like more than one. And there are thousands of different Christian churches with many faiths.
Very well done. Accurate. Factual. Neutral. As a former Mormon from SLC I often find I’m defending the many innacurrate often boldly fictional portrayals of both the church & its members. I despise the use of embellishments & fiction being used at ANY level when describing fact especially people, beliefs &/or groups of people which since leaving Mormonism Ive found a literal vast majority of people have significant errors &/or discrepencies in their views, beliefs & descriptions of the LDS church & its teachings, principals & especially how its members believe & behave. I hate using lies to describe anything & just because I personally don’t believe in the teachings, I respect & honor those who do & the truth & reality behind it all. Plain & simple. Thank you for one of, if not the best accurate neutral descriptions & portrayals of the facts of the LDS church & its members & their history & teachings. Truly unbiased & true. I appreciate it. (Sure wish all media was like you lol)
Thank you! You found my video to be exactly how it was intended. 👍🏼
Totally agree (as a current "mormon" aka member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints). It's like here is what the believe take it or leave it.
u said specially how the member believe and behave. how do Mormons behave?
@@SteveWhite-tu2gn did you mean beliefs and practices? I don’t think I ever reference behavior…
I have to do the same thing.
I'm baptist, but someone approached me today and told me he was from the church of LDS. I didn't know what that was, so i told him i would do some research; I like learning about different denominations of christianity. I didnt realize the LDS was just the name of the church for mormons. I don't accept the book of mormon, but I can respect my fellow Christians all the same. We all believe in the same core concept, and I pray we are all redeemed, despite slight differences in practices and interpretations of the word.
♥️
Amen 🤍🙏🏼 It would seem Redemption in the blood of Jesus Christ is key 🗝️ however, they Also believe Adam as man was GOD and this is not so, also the Bible warns about changing his word changing anything one word in the Bible is really bad! Joseph Smith & Brigham Young not only changed it but added to it and rearranged God's word. ✝️ I am praying salvation in Jesus Christ and a True love for Him is sufficient here as well. 🙏🏼👑 God's will be done forever and ever, Amen.🤍
@PearlofJesus747 the original texts were hebrew and greek. No english translation can be perfect. There's many different wording depending on what translation you read. Some aim for a word for word translation, while others aim to better articulate the thought for thought.
That's funny. I thought as a Christian.. you did not believe in polygamy.
In the 1838 account of JS vision, he claimed Jesus told him that all churches were wrong (don’t join any), all Christian creeds are an abomination and all its professors are corrupt. The church had fallen into complete apostasy with the gospel needing to be restored and the Church reorganized.
If Jesus is the Head of the Church (Ephesians 1:22-23) and promises to protect His Bride so that even the gates of hell would not prevail against it (Matthew 16:17-18), how could the Gospel have been corrupted and His Church fallen into complete apostasy?
1. What entity other than the gates of hell prevailed against His Church, causing the true gospel and His Church to be wrong/lost?
2. What power greater than Christ, did His church succumb too?
3. Did Jesus break His promise of protection, evidenced in Her need to be reorganized?
4. Would Jesus talk poorly about His Bride to anyone?
The LDS claim of needed restoration is ultimately accusing Christ of being a liar, weak, incompetent and unfaithful.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
Pretty accurate with no major errors. Astounding how rare something as simple as that is, most people try to frame mormonism as a cult and spread misinformation. Of course this video is still very brief and skims over a lot of details, but there's only so much you can go through in under 7 minutes. Overall, good job!
Thanks! Yeah the video could go much much longer. There shouldn’t be any errors in this video, but maybe by lack of detail, one could make incorrect assumptions?
@@IllustratetoEducate You did an excellent job. Many have an agenda, and that flavours the presentation. You did a great job presenting the facts of our beliefs and practices in a non-judgemental and honest way. Thank you.
@@TheYgds thank you so much!! 😊
Take some time to study the B.I.T.E model online and the origins of Utah and you will see if the LDS church is a cult or not.
Cult no. Heretics? Yes. No offense.
When you say the bible has errors. You are saying a perfect infinite God cannot preserve his perfect infinite word. Anything you build upon that, by discounting Timothy as a reliable teaching, even though it says scripture makes up perfect, is a castle built on sand. Saying we can be more perfect than perfect from scripture, by creating new doctrine. Is exactly what the bible warns against, so many times.
You make God fallable, by your own admission that his word has not been preserved. And take away Pauls authority, given to him by God by discounting what he teaches in Timothy because he teaches it to a certain people.
But with God, a teaching is for all men for all time. Its not just a here and now thing, its God's literal word. And thats not even getting into the whole we can be sinless and just be taken to heaven. When John said, If we claim to be without sin, we decieve ourselves and the truth is not in us.
There is no foundation, you ripped it up. And tried to build a house on sand.
„Do not follow religion, follow Jesus Christ”
- Cliffe Knechtle
thanks for someone else's pointless thoughts lol
@@matthewhunter6421It’s not really pointless though. Do you have a problem with Cliff?
Thanks already do
Or follow no god at all like I do.
How do you know you are following the right Jesus Christ? Many Christian religions have a different Jesus. If they all worshiped the same Jesus, wouldn't there be one faith, one Lord, and one baptism?
Finally, an explanation that isn’t biased. Well done!
OK, but let’s be real. This is the stupidest religion. There’s actually ever been first off. How would he have buried plates in New York when he was from Africa and also Jesus being born in Missouri/Illinois it’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard😂😂😂
I happened to be Catholic 5 years ago they invited me to there Church just to be nice i went the next week i invited them to my Church they refused told only there Church is true. The problem i have with that if your Church is the only one why do they spend half the time trying to keep members from leaving
Not sure why they wouldn’t visit your church, I’m sorry you had a bad experience with them. As an LDS member, I would absolutely take up an offer to visit someone else’s church despite beliefs. I think they even teach that we should love all and that it’s not bad to visit other churches.
Sorry about them please don’t let them be your entire view on us
I invited 2 sisters to my Church's Bible study, and they happily came
@@SkittlesskidsNO worries maybe they were just having a bad day. You sound like a very nice person. Don't get me wrong the members of your church are very giving , but one thing that bothers me is when they say are church is the only true one, i don't have a problem if you say are church is true
It is hard to find a video that is truly informative and unbiased regarding what the LDS Church believes, all of the other videos are either “I left that cult because this is what they believe in and why they are wrong”, or are videos by Mormons themselves. Thank you.
In an era where religious discourse is often marred by misunderstanding and misrepresentation, "Mormonism and the Restored Gospel of Christ" emerges as a beacon of clarity and scholarship. This book is not merely an apologetic defense of Mormon theology but a profound exploration of its roots, its alignment with early Christian doctrines, and its relevance in contemporary religious dialogue.
Eugene Seaich out with a dual purpose: to elucidate the tenets of Mormonism for those outside the faith and to deepen the understanding of these doctrines among Latter-day Saints themselves. The book's strength lies in its ability to bridge these audiences, offering a narrative that is both accessible to the uninitiated and enriching for the devout.
Central to the book is the argument that many doctrines unique to Mormonism, often dismissed as "unbiblical" or "non-Christian," were in fact integral to early Christian belief. Dr. Seaich meticulously documents how concepts such as the preexistence of the soul, the Three Degrees of Glory, and the deification of man were well-known among early Christians and have been substantiated by modern scholarship. This historical context not only validates these doctrines but also situates Mormonism within the broader Christian tradition.
One of the most compelling sections of the book is its discussion on salvation. The author deftly navigates the theological complexities surrounding grace, works, judgment, and reward. By distinguishing between salvation as "redemption from sin" and as "a reward for goodness," the book offers a nuanced understanding that reconciles seemingly contradictory scriptural statements. This clarity is invaluable for readers from various Christian denominations who grapple with these concepts.
The exploration of the Atonement, described as "At-One-Ment," is particularly enlightening. The author draws from the writings of Paul and John to illustrate how believers can achieve oneness with the Divine. This spiritual union, central to Mormon soteriology, transcends mere moral striving and taps into a transformative righteousness that is both divine and accessible.
Furthermore, the book delves into the nature of God and the concept of deification. It challenges the traditional Trinitarian view that separates God from humanity, advocating instead for a "participatory monotheism" where humans can share in God's divine nature. This theological perspective not only aligns with early Christian thought but also offers a hopeful vision of human potential and destiny.
Dr Seaich does not shy away from addressing controversial aspects of Mormon theology. By incorporating the findings of non-LDS scholars, the book reinforces the legitimacy of its claims and demonstrates that many Mormon beliefs have ancient precedents. This scholarly rigor is complemented by a clear and engaging writing style, making complex theological concepts accessible to a broad readership.
In conclusion, "Mormonism and the Restored Gospel of Christ" is a groundbreaking work that invites readers to reconsider their preconceptions about Mormonism. It presents a well-reasoned and thoroughly researched case for the continuity of Latter-day Saint doctrines with early Christian beliefs. For Mormons, it is a source of affirmation and deeper understanding; for others, it is an invitation to a respectful and informed dialogue. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersections of history, theology, and faith.

But the book now is different than when it was first written.
What I've realized as a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints is people really really love to say we believe or practice stuff we dont really practice....thanks for this very unbiased informative video❤❤
U grew up lds ?
Your parents taught you that was the truest church on earth ?😭😭
@itsmakaylasshardeman2337 they taught me values like faith, divine nature ,individual worth ,knowledge, choice and accountability, good works ,integrity and virtue
@@itsmakaylasshardeman2337 But are Mormons the kind of Christians that mainstream Christians are? Or does it matter? What makes a believer a Christian?
A know and understand a little bit more and more! Keep up the great work!!!
Glad to hear it! Thanks for the support!
I’m Mormon. This was a well explanation. Jesus is the messiah! May he bless you.
/th-cam.com/video/4cmKB6eTdBs/w-d-xo.html
agreed!
Friend, all the love of Christ to you but in no way is He the brother of Satan. That is blasphemy gone wild. Also, consider Psalms 147:19-20
"19 He declares his word to Jacob,
his statutes and rules to Israel.
20 He has not dealt thus with any other nation;
they do not know his rules.
Praise the Lord!"
Was Joseph Smith a Jew? No
Was Joseph Smith ever in Israel for anything? No
@@choward5430 Mormons are forbidden to discuss Anointing ceremonies prescribed by Creepy Joseph Smith, Jr. Mormons are forbidden to discuss these, even among spouses. They are changed these ceremonies after word spread about their creepiness. My wife was stripped naked during the pre-1990 anointing ceremonies and had a stranger anoint here genitals with olive oil. She began to question if these " most perfect" ceremonies were ordained by God, why did the Mormons change them in response to their Perverse nature? Also, the ceremonies performed inside the temple are stolen from Masonic rituals; Smith was a Freemason until expelled for immoral acts.
You sound like a mainstream Christian and not a Mormon.
Also would like to see one on Quakers, Puritans, Pilgrims
Pilgrim is not a religion. It refers to a traveler.
@@rtopalovich Neither is Quaker of Puritan. There are 5 main groups of believers in the world according to numbers by Pew Research. #1 Christianity, #2 Islam, #3 The nones, #4 Hindu, #5 Buddhist.
Finally, a none biased video!! Thank you!
None bias? Why missing the glaring racism and prejudice against blacks: the teaching in the 70s that blacks are descendants of Cain thus not worthy of holding the priesthood or any church offices
Against gays and lesbians that they’re not allowed for marriage in the church
How about the practice of polygamy starting from Joseph Smith and continued till it’s not politically accepted any more
Those abominable Mormon doctrines were only abandoned because of political pressure. Definitely NOT from any BS inspiration
You're welcome!!
So Christ decided to visit USA after death and left them the Mormon book and appeared to Joe Smith. You could not make it up
🤣😂🤣this made my day!
No, Christ did no give them the book of Mormon or the gold plates. The gold plates were a collection of records of the history of the people of the ancient Americas written by the people of the ancient americas. They tell the history of the people in the ancient Americas before and after Christ came to them. I would invite you to read the book of Mormon before making claims like this. Seriously though you should give it a shot.
And he found them randomly in the street.
@@pppinto97 he received revelation on where to find them I would like to invite you to pray and find out for yourself before bashing somebody else for their belief the guy in the video was wonderful and kind about explaining about the church I think you can be kind and respectful too
@@Castle1nth3sky I would invite you to not believe in fake religion made for profits.
Do one on Apostolic, Assemblies of God, Four square church, Church of Christ, Church of the Nazarene, Unitarian Universalist, Scientology, Armenian and Arian Christian
About to watch Book of Mormon, thanks for explaining! 👍
I attended the LSD Church with a friend for a year. I attend the ward’s Sunday Services (Sacrament meeting), Sunday school classes and priesthood meeting for a year. I found that the Mormon theology, doctrine and scripture all had the signs of a cult. The teaching of salvation by works drove one of my friends to suicide. His note “I can live up to the standards demand of me”.
1) Another Jesus - 2 Cor. 11:4 & Mat. 24:24 & 1 Cor 1:17-18 & Col 1:20, (LDS Reject the deity of Jesus and the message of the cross, Jesus is created being, not God in the flesh as John 1:1 teaches)
2) Non-Biblical Source of Authority. Another Gospel Gal 1:6 Acts 17:11, 2Tim3:16 LDS as above the Bible Doctrine and Covenants, Book of Mormon and POGP.
3) Salvation by works. Rom 11:6, Gal 2:21, Gal 5:4, Eph 2:8 (LDS Reject salvation by grace, a free gift given by God, by God thru faith in Jesus Christ)
4) Closed group with no fellowship (accountability) with other like minded groups. Eph 5:21 & 1 Cor 1:12 & Col 1:24.
5) Strong dominating leader (-ship) who has unquestionable authority over the group. 2 Cor 11:13-14 1Tim6:3 2 Peter 2:1 1 John 4:1, The J. Smith and the living prophet.
6) Group holds: new truths and revelation & all truths and keys. 2Cor 4:2, Reject Historical Christianity: Salvation by grace and forgives, one God, salvation at the Cross of Jesus.
7) New writings that proclaim and interpret these new truths. Rev 22:18 (Bible Doctrine and Covenants, Book of Mormon and POGP.)
8) Only the group is able to act and speak in the name of God. 1 Cor1 4:36.
8) Changing Theology-God Is 43:10-11, Malachi 3:6. Hebrews 6:17, Black were bad now OK, polygamy was to godhood for men, now bad and on and on.
9) Non-Biblical Teaching on the Nature of God Rom 1:22,23 Jude 1:4 ( humanize God, God was once an man and become God, God as body)
10) No one having joined can freely leave. (excommunication or trial is held.) 2 Corinthians 3:17. You can not just have your name remove, there will be a excommunication trial. You can not ask for letter of transfer to another churches, like Christian church do.
11) False Prophecy Mat 24:11, 2 Peter 2:1, 1 John 4:1 (Temple to be Built in Zion, Missouri, much of Doctrine & Covenants Section 11, Doctrine & Covenants 114:1, and more)
12) Men can become gods. Those who live worthy to become gods D&C 132:20
13) Simple question are answered with long evasive statements. Matt 5:37
14) The reputation of the group is more important that any one individual. (people are sacrificed) Romans 12:10 Romans 13:8 1 Peter 3:8
14) Double Talk - Statements contradict themselves Rom16:18 1Tim1:6 Jam1:8, Like: LDS believe in grace, but do not believe in Salvation by Grace.
Galatians 1:6-10 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel--which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!
Colossians 2:8-9 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ. For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority.
I was just approached tonight by 2 people from the LDS. I couldn't recall most of what I learned about them years ago. Would have liked to have had a better conversation, beside just hearing them say a few short things about their faith. I.E. being Christians, and only following the Bible, and how they aren't Mormon. Thanks for the recap and short version of their beliefs.
As you continue to study, please consider this. In the 1838 account of Joseph Smiths first vision, Smith claims that Jesus told him this, (Jesus speaking of all Christian churches) “I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: “they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.”
Joseph was told that the Gospel needed to be restored and the Church reorganized. The Church had fallen into complete apostasy.
Now consider this. If Christ is the head of His Church/Bride (Ephesians 1:22-23) and promises to build and protect His Church (Matthew 16:17-19 -…and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it), ask the missionaries next time you see them these 4 questions:
1. What greater thing than the gates of hell was able to prevail against(defeat) His Church.
2. To what power, greater than Jesus, did His Church succumb too?
3. Did Jesus break His promise, failing to protect His Bride?
4. Would Jesus, the head of His Church, speak so poorly of His Bride to Joseph Smith?
Please continue in your research and study, and pray th that these missionaries come to a real faith in Christ.
Blessing
Are you sure they were LDS? May have been a different branch of religion altogether like Jahovia Witness
@@gregoryfugal4722 going off what they said. They claimed to be from the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints.
@@fescot6659 Well to be fair, gates are defensive structures, therefore, the verse in Matthew isn't saying that the church will withstand the attacks of the enemy but rather the enemy won't withstand the attacks of the church. Satan's time is over.
@@blusheep2using the word “gates” isn’t meant to be used to describe or understand the meaning of “gates”. This term was used to describe the power of Satan and his constant attack of God and all who belong to Him or would come to know Him. The power of Satan would not be victorious as he was defeated through the death and resurrection of Christ. With that being said, it is impossible for a universal apostasy as the LDS claim.
As a soon to be LDS missionary I thank you for making a non bias and informative video about my church and beliefs. Just subscribed. God bless!
How long did it take you to save a certain amount of money from your mission trip?
What do Mormons believe about Black people? And please do not lie.
@@t-rizzle0509 broskie one person can’t share rhe entire thoughts of a massive group of people, but if you asking if the religion itself is racist? It’s not, there are of course bad people who belive in the church but the religion itself isn’t racist
@@t-rizzle0509 we definitely don’t discriminate against them today as a church as a whole. It’s a confusing and complicated topic to why previous prophets did discriminate. It could very well have been because of their personal bias. We don’t support any of their racial teachings.

Why did I feel like I shouldn't laugh when you said magic seeing stones? How is that not a red flag?
"seer stones" actually was a normal christian belief in 1800's
Is that any more of a red flag than the Red Sea being parted or a man walking on water or a woman being turned into a pillar of salt?
you mean like a cell phone.. imagine if you tried to explain a cell phone in Jesus' time?
@bythebrooke1111 yep
@@rafaeldeoliveiradasilva9328Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
Thank you. How refreshing, an actual true account. As a member of the church of Jesus Christ of LDS. You have no idea how many times people have said to me, oh, but you're not Christian. His very Holy Name is in the name of our church. We pray in the name of our, Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ, when we gather. We are Christian, yup we are. Thank you again.
You aren’t, Mormonism is fan fiction & every denomination unanimously agrees
A few things were missing. Polygamy didn't end in 1890 but in 1910, there were more than one "first vision". Finances didn't show that the Church was presently worth $230billion and recently was fined $5million by the Federal Commerce Commission for hiding finances in shell corporations. And member still believe in polygamy in the next life or the Celestial Kingdom though it is not legal in this life. And for 6 years in its history, it was renamed "The Church of the Latter-Day Saints", omitting the name of Jesus in the title. So if you are interested in this or any denomination, be sure you read and study a lot.
@@PatrickThreewit Mormons when they see a black person in their house of God (black skin is the mark of Cain)
But it wasn't always in the name. There was a 6-year period when the church changed its name to The Church of the Latter-Day saints. You can Google "The Kirtland Temple" and on that temple it says The Church of the Latter-Day Saints. I think the Church is Christian but there was that time. Mainline Christians believe in the Trinity and you don't. That's why they don't think you are Christian.
@@MusicLover99982 Not so. The year that Mormon candidate for President, Mitt Romney ran, many were against Mormonism saying it was not Christian but Billy Graham a very big name in Evangelical Christendom told people that Mormons were Christians.
I am LDS and this is pretty good
I’m glad you find it to be a fair representation!
I agree. I am also LDS and it’s hard to find a fair objective outside perspective of our faith.

Patrick, fo you really think that you can do "a little reading" snd know very much at sll! As I daid before,the various accounts of the first vision are different, but DO NOT contradict each other! Yes, sometimes when a proohet has a vision there are no witnesses toit, but that DOES NOT mean that the vision us nit true! I have done a lot of reading and studying theology and Mormon dictrine, snd am a convert to the church because of it! Joseph had many witnesses for many spiritual events! For example eight eitnesses saw and "hefted" the olates, snd three more witnesses saw the angel also that delivered the plates!!!
Can You make a video about what is totalitarianism
Definitely! That’s been one I’ve wanted to do for a while.
@@IllustratetoEducate If Project 2025, the 930-page conservative blueprint is implemented, we will know in short order what totalitarianism is about. Most people want a dictator.
I have studied theology and Mormon doctrine for more than 60 years, and I know that it is true! Their were eleven witnesses that saw and "hefted"the plates and three saw the angel and the plates, but what good would that be if God did not give someone power to translate it? He did!!!
But do you believe that Paul actually walked and talked with Jesus on the Road to Damascus, even though none of the other disciples with him saw Jesus.? So all we have is Paul's word for what he saw and if he is wrong then the Mormon Jesus doesn't exist.
@@PatrickThreewit He did not walk with Him, but he talked with Him.
@@GeorgeDemetz But, like your founder, he had no witnesses as to who he saw. And why were there more than one first vision for the Mormon prophet? How can someone have more than one first vision? I've been doing some reading. But as to Jesus, since there is no original copy of Bible manuscripts or the Bible, how can we ever know for sure what Jesus said or did? Christians can just be Misquoting Jesus. I think that might be the title of a book I found in my local public library.
@@PatrickThreewit As usual, you don't know what you are talking about! Witnesses?!? Do you know how many witnesses he had that saw and "hefted" the plates of the Book of Mormon and the angel that delivered them?!? The stories of the first vision did not contradict anything that actually happened! Also, there were actual witnesses who saw and spake with Jesus in the Bible, and either wrote or had their scribes wrote accordingly! Jesus told Thomas, who said he would not believe unless he saw the prints of the nails in his hands, and after he witnessed, he told Thomas because he saw he was blessed, but more blessed are those that never saw this and yet believed! That doesn't sound like you does lt?!? However, God did decide to leave a witness to hard hearted spiritually blind ones like you! Read the latest about the shroud of Turin!!!

You are making the wrong choice if it is a Mormon church.
well, asking biased haters on the niternet is no way to discern truth. If you're praying and that's where you're lead, what else do you need?
Mormons changed my life i love life now😇🙌🙏
We are to only follow our savior Yahusha not any man made religion. (Jesus is not his real name, letter J was only invented 500 years ago).
John 4:1 warns: "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world." Testing the spirits is vital because of "many false prophets" in the world.
Our Heavenly Father Yahuah gave us a method of how to test a prophet to determine whether they are true or false. In Deuteronomy 18:21-22, Moses wrote “You may say to yourself, ‘How can we recognize a message the Lord has not spoken?’ When a prophet speaks in the Lord’s name, and the message does not come true or is not fulfilled, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.”
Father Yahuah provides us with this warning so that we know how to test anyone who claims to be a prophet.
Joseph Smith repeatedly made prophetic claims “in the name of the LORD” that did not happen.
Here are just 3 of his prophecies that failed to happen:
1.) In 1835, Joseph Smith prophesied that the Lord’s coming was only a few decades in the future, specifically, he predicted that the Lord would come in fifty-six years (History of the church vol. 2 p.182). Fifty six years from 1835 would reach 1891. Yahusha did not return within fifty-six years when 1891 arrived.
2.) Joseph Smith prophesied in 1832 that the New Jerusalem would be built in Western Missouri and that within the New Jerusalem would be erected a temple during the lifetime of those hearing his revelation (Doctrines and Covenants 84:1-5). This did not happen. He stated three times that a temple would be built there. "For verily this generation shall not pass away until an house shall be built unto the Lord..." (D&C 84:2-5,31). To this day, no temple has been built there.
3.) He also prophesied that the rebellion of South Carolina and the War between the States would result in war being "poured out on all nations" (D&C 87:2,3), yet no other nations participated in the Civil War. He said the war would result in a "full end of all nations" (D&C 87:6), but not even one nation ended. And he said the war would occur "previous to the coming of the Son of Man (D&C 130:12). The war ended in 1865, but Yahusha still has not returned. These prophecies did not come to pass.
The criteria of a true prophet is not failing when predicting the future. This is because God makes no mistakes when he tells us what will happen. He said “For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done” (Isaiah 46:9-10).
Yahusha also warned us: "Beware of false prophets which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." This is not telling us to examine a prophet's good works. Many false prophets have many good works. The fruit of a prophet is his prophecies. One false prophecy makes them a false prophet, even if some true prophecies are given.
Yahusha also warned us that false prophets are able to perform great signs and wonders (Matthew 24:24).
A false prophet will never say, "I am a false prophet. Follow me!" He will appear to be a true prophet. This is part of the "sheep's clothing” that our Savior warned us about.
If Joseph Smith was a true prophet, his predictions should always come true. If any of his predictions ever failed, this would prove he was not a true prophet and we should not follow him according to our Heavenly Fathers test of a true prophet in Deuteronomy 18:20-22.
Satan deceived angels who were in the presence of our Heavenly Father, convincing them to rebel against Him.
If satan was able to deceive angels we can only imagine how many deceptions he has created in this world.
Our salvation is the most important thing so we need to make sure we diligently seek out the truth for ourselves.
Our Father warned us that our hearts can deceive us and He cautions us not to base our faith on feelings. But Mormon Scriptures describe the way to recognize truth as a "burning in the bosom" and a "feeling."
Scriptures warn us that feelings are not how to discern truth from error:
Jeremiah 17:9 - “The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Who can know it?”
Jeremiah 10:23 - Proper guidance regarding right and wrong does not come from inside man. It comes from outside man. Nothing within man can indicate whether or not a message is from God. That would include feelings or a burning in the bosom.
Proverbs 14:12 - “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.”
Since feelings come from within man, they cannot give assurance of truth.

Very informative, you should do a video on other Christian denomination religions, Christian Scientists, Seventh Day Adventist, Amish and Mennonite, Baptist, Catholic and Orthodox, Lutherans, Pentecostal, Presbyterian, Methodist, Episcopal, Anglican, Calvinist, Bible Students, Shakers, Gideons, Moravian church
Lots of good ideas in here. I will save these for later. 👍🏼
If you want to learn about Mormons, don't ask JW's. If you want to know about Christian Scientists don't ask Episcopalians. Ask the people. in their church. YOu will get a lot less negative bias that way.

LDS uses the name Jesus, but he is not the same as Jesus in the Bible. Example; If I started a new religion and called the deity Buda, but is was very different from actual Buddhism. They believe Jesus was one of twelve brothers who re all sons of god, Satan is one of the sons also. In the LDS the wife is dependent on her husband for salvation, if the husband is a devoted follower, he will be rewarded with Godhood, given his own planet to populate and the wife will be perpetually pregnant to populate their world with souls. People who are light skinned are descendants of a favored son of their god-father. The darker your skin tone, the more wicked and unfavored son you are descended from. That’s just a few differences
@@Alesiaofthewoods I am a member of the LDS church and a lot of this isn’t actually what we believe. We believe that the Husband and Wife are equally important as a bond to enter the Celestial Kingdom (kinda like the highest tear of heaven) and inherit their own world. The husband needs a wife, the wife needs a husband. We don’t in any way place men over women or women over men in our church. We do although give them different responsibilities.
oh my gosh, this is perhaps the dumbest interpretation of their beliefs I may have ever heard. Did you just make this up?
I can understand people being born into a Mormon family buying into it. Your entire reality is based on the '"truth" of the BOM
You dont just shake off conditioning.
What i cant understand is a convert. How does an adult hear the Joseph Smith story and end up a mormon? How credulous must one be?
@@j.uiriagain9813 it is a story you have to take in with faith, like many others in other scriptures like the Bible
@@CSpeer41 Yeah you have to be a credulous dimwit exactly what I said.
That's it！ I just decided to appoint myself as God's representitve on Earth.
the moment they declared that the Bible may be misleading and contains error and their Mormon book would correct the Bible, you just got to stop there and walk away...
Even assuming that's true, why does that matter?
The article of faith is "we believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it's translated correctly"
A lot of evangelicals jump on that as if we're discarding sections of the Bible. The truth is that I don't think that evangelicals disagree that to get the full truth from the Bible it has to be translated correctly. That really shouldn't be a controversial statement
Where is the claim the BofM corrects the Bible? If you’d study the two records you’d find they support each other.
Yes!! The book of revelations LITERALLY says not to alter any scripture. And the Bible says beware of false preachers!!
@@bean1251 But Latter-day Saints don’t alter scripture. We use the King James Bible. We just have more scripture that corroborates and expounds upon what we’ve already received (John 10:16, 21:25). And while the Bible does warn about false preachers, it also talks about true prophets that have yet to come (revelation 11, 14:6) and it gives us tests to know which teachers are true and which are false (1 John 4:1-3, Matthew 7:15-20, 12:24-28).
Is there in Dubuque Iowa too they are a clut something shady is going on there...
I’ve always been co fused about their idea of afterlife. For example, if a man and wife sealed, they spend eternity forever. Is this a separate or individual“heaven” for just those 2? Or heaven for all Mormons? If they have kids do the kids spend eternity in the parents heaven? Of so, what happens when the kids get married and sealed. Do they know go t a different heaven than either of their parents, like their own heaven as a couple? Cause then it seems like husbands and are the only ones to spend eternity together🤷🏽♀️. Is that where the polygamist lifestyle came to be?
They believe in 3 degrees of glory or heavens. The highest degree is called the celestial kingdom. This is where they believe in families being sealed together forever. As far as your question, it’s more or less the couple that is sealed together but their children and their spouses would also exist in the celestial kingdom as well. The ideal scenario is that everyone is sealed to their spouse and everyone enjoys heaven (whatever that might entail) together as one massive family where God also lives. The other kingdoms of glory - terrestrial and telestial are both supposed to be glorified as well and places better than earth. However, they are reserved for those who have not completed all the ordinances necessary for the highest degree or repented or fully accepted Jesus Christ’s sacrifice.
@@IllustratetoEducate I must say you did a very good job describing our beliefs. I am LDS.
Biblical references: John 14:2; 1 Corinthians 15:40-42; 2 Corinthians 12:2
However, the Doctrine & Covenants spells this out more clearly for us.
A glorious doctrine of hope and love! All possible through the atonement of Jesus Christ.
Patrick, I am so tired of writing replies and when I check them there is nothing there! First of all, as usual, you don't know what you are talking about. The stories of the first vision was told in various ways, but they do not contradict each other! You asked for witnesses?!? How about eleven witnesses that saw the plates of the Book of Mormon, and three of them saw the angel that delivered them! An angel would not deliver sacred plates to one lying about seeing God!!! Also, God was well aware that there would be hard hearted spiritually bling people like you in the last days, so in addition to those that were actual witnesses of Christ who had those accounts written down, there is also the shroud of Turin! Read the latest about it!!!
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints - I’ve walked into every church in my area requesting to speak to their leaders about their beliefs- and as sure as I know I’m alive I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints can back its beliefs through the Bible better then any other church …. and it’s not even close !!!
😂😂😂😂😂 So you never spoken to any Christians then.
where in the bible does it say jesus came to America and why was Joseph smith a proven fraud
Christians can't even back their beliefs by the Bible, so how can you?
This is excellently done and accurate
I do think that the gold plated manuscripts from God that can only be translated through magical glasses are kinda sus. Expecially compared to the Bible that we have actual predated manuscripts of (Dead Sea scrolls) and had the most supporting historical evidence for its authenticity out of any historical artifact.
The LDS Church has the stone in their archives that Joseph Smith put in a hat to block out the light, He looked at that stone and translated the BoM. You can also read about that in the 1990 article of "The Ensign," by M. Russell Ballard, an apostle. And as for Christians with their Bible, there is no original copy of the manuscripts that were used to translate either the Old or the New Testaments so no one knows exactly what Jesus said.
You may have some manuscripts but you don't have the originals. That's why no one can ever know exactly what Jesus said. And if a manuscript were translated word for word say from Greek to English, people wouldn't read their Bibles. Translators have to add and take away words to make a script readable.
Plus I might
add. The manuscripts
They have found are 997 % accurate with the modern manuscripts.@@PatrickThreewit Jesus is more documented in real time hx, than Julius Caesar. Yet ppl believe that JC existed. ❤. Wait for it....
@@BrendonDiefenbach You need to really learn about how the Bible was put together. I would recommend that you do an online search for "The Great Courses". These are college lecture courses on various subjects but most are on history and religion from the top universities and divinity schools in the nation. These people study the Bible all their lives and I think they know a lot more than you do. I have taken many courses like the one on the Old Testament by a professor Amy-Jill-Levine of Vanderbilt divinity school in Nashville, Bart D. Ehrman considered to be the top New Testament scholar in the world. Or Isaiah Gafne of Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
No one has ever had any original manuscripts of the entire Bible and there are many different translations. Just going to church and calling yourself a Christian does not make you an expert on the Bible. I can ask you dozens of questions that I have learned in these courses. And nearly all of the answers will be in the Bible, and you won't know the answers. I do this to all the Christians I meet who think they know the Bible. I'll just ask a few easy ones: Mormons do baptisms for the dead. Where did they find that idea in the Bible or was it even in the Bible? How many heavens are there? Did God create man on the fifth day or the 6th day? (Read all of that chapter.) If god gave us the commandment to not kill in Exodus, then why did he tell Joshua to kill every man, woman, and child? How many commandments are in the Bible? Why does it say in Psalm 137, "Happy shall he be that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones?" Exodus, "Whosoever doeth any work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death? Why don't Christians follow that commandment today?The Bible mentions the book of Jasher, the book of the Covenant, the Book of Samuel the Seer. Where are these books and are they in your Bible? The last easy one. Did Jesus have long or short hair? Pictures in our day show long hair. Historians all know that the men in that era had short cropped hair. Judas told the Roman soldiers that they would recognize Jesus so they could arrest him, but only if Judas would kiss the Savior on the neck. If Jesus was the only man in the region who had long hair, why didn't the soldiers just look for anyone with long hair? Why did Judas have to kiss Jesus?
But is than any more suspect than people talking to snakes or someone walking on water, or someone being in the body of a fish for 3 days and staying alive? I guess all Christians believe in magic.
I'm from Papua New Guinea I m sister kumun lae mission the history is true and church is true
Mormons Just be believing anything 😭
Just like Christians who believe in talking snakes.
thank you for the brief and educating overview
by the way, where are the so-called GOLD PLATED MANUSCRIPTS that JS claimed to possessed?
They weren't gold plated, they were sheets of pure gold. And Joseph Smith gave them back to the angel when he was finished with them.
Also what's your basis for skepticism? It's not just Joseph Smith, dozens of people claimed to be eye witnesses of the gold plates, and everyone is consistent that they existed, even Joseph's enemies. Do you have any contemporary historical evidence that they didn't exist? Or do you just disbelieve because you personally think it's ridiculous and don't want to believe? There's far more evidence for the gold plates than there is for the existence of people like Socrates and Alexander the Great.
Where are the tablets that contain the 10 commandments and arc of the covenant?
There are testimonies of witnesses of the plates, you should find them and read them yourself.
Nowhere to be found because Smith made it all up. Ex member here.
@@sambro9134we have manuscripts as early as 150ad for the new testament... Latin, Greek, and the entirety of it can be copied from the early church fathers writings by 190ad.. the old testament existed before christ and we have copies earlier than the new testament...

@@bengee4841 Calling yourself a saint in and of itself is against Christianity. The whole point of the bible is that we all fall short of God and are sinners. But Mormons........my God the evil practices they do. They basically believe that they can do any manner of evil and crimes against humanity and they will still get to heaven so long as they don't think about it/ forgive themselves through confession. They are sadistic and psychopathic predators and extremely manipulative bullies emphasis on the manipulative part.
So they're not Christians cause they believe that the only way to be saved is through Jesus? Or are they not Christian because they believe that they are supposed to follow Jesus's example by living a good life and helping others?
They believe they are, but by the agreed terms of Christianity they are not* This is because they see Christ, Heavenly Father and the Holy Ghost as three separate beings

@@PatrickThreewit it’s more like a cult to me and they teach a different gospel
@@itsmakaylasshardeman2337 Is it any more of a cult than evangelical Christianity?
I attended the LSD Church with a friend for a year. I attend the ward’s Sunday Services (Sacrament meeting), Sunday school classes and priesthood meeting for a year. I found that the Mormon theology, doctrine and scripture all had the signs of a cult. The teaching of salvation by works drove one of my friends to suicide. His note “I can live up to the standards demand of me”.
1) Another Jesus - 2 Cor. 11:4 & Mat. 24:24 & 1 Cor 1:17-18 & Col 1:20, (LDS Reject the deity of Jesus and the message of the cross, Jesus is created being, not God in the flesh as John 1:1 teaches)
2) Non-Biblical Source of Authority. Another Gospel Gal 1:6 Acts 17:11, 2Tim3:16 LDS as above the Bible Doctrine and Covenants, Book of Mormon and POGP.
3) Salvation by works. Rom 11:6, Gal 2:21, Gal 5:4, Eph 2:8 (LDS Reject salvation by grace, a free gift given by God, by God thru faith in Jesus Christ)
4) Closed group with no fellowship (accountability) with other like minded groups. Eph 5:21 & 1 Cor 1:12 & Col 1:24.
5) Strong dominating leader (-ship) who has unquestionable authority over the group. 2 Cor 11:13-14 1Tim6:3 2 Peter 2:1 1 John 4:1, The J. Smith and the living prophet.
6) Group holds: new truths and revelation & all truths and keys. 2Cor 4:2, Reject Historical Christianity: Salvation by grace and forgives, one God, salvation at the Cross of Jesus.
7) New writings that proclaim and interpret these new truths. Rev 22:18 (Bible Doctrine and Covenants, Book of Mormon and POGP.)
8) Only the group is able to act and speak in the name of God. 1 Cor1 4:36.
8) Changing Theology-God Is 43:10-11, Malachi 3:6. Hebrews 6:17, Black were bad now OK, polygamy was to godhood for men, now bad and on and on.
9) Non-Biblical Teaching on the Nature of God Rom 1:22,23 Jude 1:4 ( humanize God, God was once an man and become God, God as body)
10) No one having joined can freely leave. (excommunication or trial is held.) 2 Corinthians 3:17. You can not just have your name remove, there will be a excommunication trial. You can not ask for letter of transfer to another churches, like Christian church do.
11) False Prophecy Mat 24:11, 2 Peter 2:1, 1 John 4:1 (Temple to be Built in Zion, Missouri, much of Doctrine & Covenants Section 11, Doctrine & Covenants 114:1, and more)
12) Men can become gods. Those who live worthy to become gods D&C 132:20
13) Simple question are answered with long evasive statements. Matt 5:37
14) The reputation of the group is more important that any one individual. (people are sacrificed) Romans 12:10 Romans 13:8 1 Peter 3:8
14) Double Talk - Statements contradict themselves Rom16:18 1Tim1:6 Jam1:8, Like: LDS believe in grace, but do not believe in Salvation by Grace.
Galatians 1:6-10 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel--which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!
Colossians 2:8-9 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ. For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority.

HeartInlight. Dr. Bart D. Ehrman one of the nation's very best scholars of religious studies at the Department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, stated, in his online college lecture series on "The New Testament' from "The Great Courses," :" Most scholars are convinced that Paul did not write the books of 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus (called the Pastoral Epistles because they deal with how these pastors should oversee their churches.). Scholars continue to dispute whether Paul wrote three other books that claim him as an author: Colossians, Ephesians, and 2 Thessalonians. These books are designated the deutero-Pauline epistles; that is epistles that have a secondary standing in the Pauline canon. The seven remaining letters are designated the undisputed letter because virtually everyone agrees that Paul wrote them. Any study of Paul is best served to restrict itself to the letters he is known to have produced." So before you use Bible verses to prove your points be sure you have really studied the Bible from real scholars not just your Sunday School teacher.
Just for the sake of accuracy, only LDS call themselves Christian. Protestants and Catholics would not call them that however.
They are ALL cults…..
@@Ex_christian Not in nature, no. Cults have a system that allows information to be revealed as one progresses further that they could not access originally. That's Mormonism. Christianity doesn't have hidden information. And my response to this video had nothing to do with cults. I was just trying to say that calling LDS a Christian denomination isn't exactly factual because it's a different set of beliefs. But there is debate over it, so i said it depends on who you ask. Call them both cults, I guess, but that would also be incorrect.
@@andrewmenees473 that’s why there are over 40,000 sects of the Christian cult, None can agree on anything in the Bible or about which god, Jesus, or spirit to follow.

@@quiet3658 44,000 Christian cult denominations that cannot agree on anything in the Bible, god, Jesus, or the spirit. That should be plenty of evidence that it’s all myth and made up!
I do know the difference between Protestant and Pentecostal churches as well since Mormonism would fall in the Pentecostal.
I do know that only ONE denomination in my town actually does something for the people of the community whereas the rest do nothing unless you are a member of their cult.
My very first reaction is that Mormonism is a “Christian Denomination.” Perhaps the author never read what Joe Smith said about all other “Christian” denominations. Mormons teach a gospel contrary to the gospel taught by Christ. I live next to the Navajo Reservation. Even though one might claim to be a Navajo, if they are not born of Navajos, they ARE NOT Navajos. The same can be said of Mormons. Just because Mormons claim to be Christians, the FACT that they proclaim a god NOT of the Bible and a Christ NOT of the Bible excludes them from the family of historical Christians.
But Evangelical Christians rarely read their Bible because I ask them questions and few know the answers.
@ so reading your Bible makes you a Christian? Nice try.
@@ValinPrezkowski So What determines what a Christian is? I believe Jesus existed but was not divine, am I then a Christian? I also don't believe in the virgin birth, the miracles, or the resurrection, but I believe he existed and was a great teacher---am I a Christian?

The countries in the world who are the least religious like Sweden and Norway, have the least crime, fewer suicides, fewer mass shootings, don't have all these guns as killing machines, love one another more. These are statistics that have been shown over up to a hundred years. I am so glad I don't have all that hate. Today I talked to a Christian doctor that felt sorry for me because my friends and family had disowned me because I was no longer a Christian. He said that we should love one another. But they don't.
Thanks!
No problem!

Well done. I've just subscribed and can't wait to see your other videos.
Welcome aboard!
I can explain this church in a single word: heresy
you don't know what that means
Thanks for sharing this video I didn’t know a lot of this
Some of the stuff they believe in are similar to other Christians beliefs but at the end of the day it does give me cult vibes
That’s because it is a cult. Joseph Smith did not talk to God. He made all this shit up to start polygamy and have followers. And have power. It’s insane how many people still believe this crap with the Internet and technology we have today. I mean, people will believe anything.
What is a cult? Sounds like people call any faith a cult if it differs from their view. Does that sound right?
@@PatrickThreewit Can we be friends I need some explanation about the Church please
@@EmeraldSherry I don't much about any church, but I have learned quite a bit about the Bible that few Christians read. The internet has lots of information about lots of things. Just research.
@@EmeraldSherry There is a fellow online named Johnny Harris. He has great videos, one on Russia, one on the Swiss and their guns and one on his faith journey out of the Mormon Church. He is great at making videos all over the world. Just search for his name. He could probably help you. He said that he was on a mission and enjoyed it.
The video forgot to mention that the church sells temple recommend for 10% of members income.
If they don’t pay they don’t get to “hold current temple recommend” or they’re not “temple worthy”.
What’s the difference between selling temple recommend and selling a cup of Starbucks coffee?
It’s an outright trade. You pay it or you don’t get the coffee/ the recommend.
Yet a small difference- nobody judges you if you don’t buy Starbucks coffee. But you’d be judged if you’re a Mormon and you don’t pay the church corporation your income. They’d tell you “steal the Lords money”. But in reality it’s the money to expand this church of men and support the lavish life style of the corporate leadership.
This isn’t true. Paying tithing isn’t fixed at 10%. The 10% thing is a guideline, not an absolute. You only need to pay what you feel in your heart is a full amount.
@@ChaseEaglebackmust have changed after I left 10 years ago
@@ChaseEagleback No, No. To be a good Mormon in good standing and able to get a temple recommend, they must be a full tithe-payer. 10%. They can pay more with offerings but the 10% is fixed.
So theyre heretics
Yep
about as much as any other religion who believe differently from eachother. seems you don't know the definition of the word
Learned a lot about mormons in this video thx
This is where I have a problem with the LDS doctrine. If they say the bible contains errors, such as conveniently they discount the Timothy letters especially. Which the oldest known copy is from 180ad.
Because in them, it says that all scripture is profitable for teaching in righteousness. And that also scripture can make one perfect. Then them adding to scripture, is saying perfect, isnt perfect enough. And that we can be more perfect.
And it also says, that God is not perfect. Because he didnt preserve his perfect word. Which is just...wrong. Idc how you look at it, anything they build past that, is a castle built on sand.
Had a long discussion. And it got to where they believe you can be sinless like Jesus, and be deathless and just taken to heaven. Which, if that happened even 1 time in their history, they would be telling the world. Or should, and if they arent. Then they arent testifying like they should. They also say they withhold teachings. Which...again is not biblical at all.
They are heretics. Plain and simple. Do not, and i mean do not go down this road.
They take away Pauls authority given to him by God, and say the bible has errors. Exactly same stuff islam does. So they can push their own stuff. Its the same in my viewpoint.
What are you even talking about? Quit pretending that you know something you don’t.
@@gregoryfugal4722 I heard these things from someone well versed in it. Who is part of a mormon run server. Also from other mormons there. While they pushed their books, on those seeking God.

@@HeartInLight I have been a Mormon for 30+ years. Claiming you heard it from someone who was a Mormon, does not make you an expert. I hate it when people think they know more about what I believe than I do. Stop, do better
@@gregoryfugal4722 I have seen it multiple times. Mormon prophets fail the test of prophets found in deuteronomy.
If someone is found to be a false prophet. There is no excuse to still follow them as such. You test Scripture with Scripture. Not follow blindly what you're told by men.
Run to Jesus. He's the only thing that we can trust in this place.
I’m praying that Jesus reveals his oneness to the mormon church he’s coming back and he is one the God head is one head different manifestation but he is one!
So… someone wrote a fairytale book and people take it as basis for religion? 🙄 can’t be more made up than Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter, and the Christian Bible of course.
What happened to the discussion on the LDS practice of apartheid until the mid-70s?
In 1978, President Spencer Kimball had a revelation giving Blacks the priesthood and the ability to be a full member.
@@PatrickThreewit Yes, but why leave out of the video that apartheid was practiced in the Mormon church? It is incomplete without such an acknowledgment and may appear as an attempt to rewrite their narrative. And if Mr. Kimball had such a revelation, then that should also be touched upon to give a more complete representation of the religion. Again, my initial question was intended to ask, “why was the matter of apartheid left out of the LDS video?” not so much an answer as to how or who caused the practice of apartheid to end in Mormonism.
@@mb-le1un You are talking to the wrong person here. I have not attended a Mormon sacrament meeting in 12 years. I just see little difference in the beliefs of Mormonism and Christianity when it comes to wierd ideas. In the Bible we have talking snakes, a person living in the body of a fish for three days, the Red Sea dividing and then closing to kill the bad guys, a woman being turned into a pillar of salt, someone walking on water, raising people from the dead, Jesus saying that he will kill children. a horn being blown causing walls to fall down. Neither Mormons or mainstream Christians read their holy books so they think other religions are wrong. The Muslims, like Christians, Jews, JW's and Mormons are Bible based faiths.
such a cult
I dunno why Mormonism doesn’t get more criticism
@bighand1530 It gets more than enough criticism, I’ve dealt with 30 different Protestants debating my own religious beleifs and if I’m Christian when they don’t even understand LDS beliefs at all. Also, the term “Mormon” was rejected by the church a while back, we just say “LDS”.

Kind left out the history of blacks and Mormonism
Yea, that is the f'd up part about them.
@@jordanmatthew6315 Because they didn't let blacks become priests? That's just how things worked in the 19th and 20th century. And those ideas actually don't come from Joseph Smith. He ordained several black people to the priesthoo. In fact, he ran for president on platform of freeing the slaves. anti-slavery beliefs is actually why the early Latter-day Saints were genocided in Missouri and Illinois. When Brigham Young instituted the ban, he got the idea from racist southern protestants, and even Brigham said that ban was only meant to be temporary and that one day blacks would have equal privilege. And while the rest of the country segregated blacks and whites, the Latter-day Saints refused to segregate their congregations, going as far as to call the KKK an evil cult at the height of their power, leading to thousands of Latter-day Saints to be lynched in the south in retaliation.

Watch the Mormon Cartoon.
I’m a Mormon but like I’m not really religious I’m trying to learn more about my religion and other videos try to paint Mormonism as a cult and that it’s wrong but I beg to differ if you look most Mormon families have good values and I think it’s not a bad religion to be spreed around like do parts of it sound kinda sketchy yeah but the important part are the values and beliefs they try to impart on you and that’s the main point of religion so we have some sort of moral compass.

The Fathers name YAHUAH has been removed from the Bible over 6,000 times and replaced with the title LORD even though Yahuah commands us to call upon, pray to, declare and confess His NAME. It should never have been removed from the Bible because of a Jewish superstition of not saying Gods name.
His people should KNOW His name (Isa 52:6, Prov 30:4, Ps 91:14, 1 Kings 8:43).
We are told to “call on His name”many times (Zeph 3:9, Isa 12:4, Zech 13:9, Ps 20:7, Ps 116:13&17, Chron 16:8, 1 kings 18:24, Ps 105:1, Ps 80:18, Ps 99:6).
The 3rd Commandment is to not take His name in vain. The word “vain” in the Hebrew language means - emptiness, nothingness. Not using His name is making it unimportant and bringing it to nothingness.
In addition, instead of faithfully TRANSLITERING the Hebrew Name of the Messiah into Greek words that would convey the pronunciation and MEANING of the Name of Messiah Yahusha (Yahuah is Salvation), it is replaced with the false, unbiblical name “Jеsus”. That was not His name when He walked this earth and it still isn’t his name.
There is no letter J in greek, Hebrew or Aramaic and J was not even in the English language till about 1660 so the fathers name could have never been Jehovah and the sons name could never have been Jesus. Jehovah- Hovah in Hebrew means a ruin, disaster.
Yahusha says we are to worship in spirit and in truth. The truth is that our Saviors name is Yahusha, not Jesus. There is only one name under heaven by which men will be saved (Acts 4:12, John 4:23-24).
We are told multiple times in scripture to honor His name, therefore we should call Him by His true name and His Sons true name.
The name of the Father consists of only four Hebrew characters, reading right to left as exhibited in ancient documents as יהוה Yod Hey Wov Hey (YHWH in Latin letters). Hebrew letters are actually pictographs of actual things.
* 1st letter, Yod = Y sound and was anciently portrayed as a symbol of a hand.
* 2nd letter, Hey = H sound and means behold.
* 3rd letter Wov = OO sound and means nail.
* 4th letter Hey is repeated agan and means behold.
If we read from left to right, His name means “Behold nail, behold hand”. Absolutely Amazing! Praise His name! His plan for salvation was depicted in His name from the very beginning! Just as our Savior was the lamb slain from the foundation of the world (Rev. 13:8).
Yahuahs name points to the son
And Yahushas name points to the father.
The fathers name should never have been removed and the Saviors name should never have been changed. His name is forever (Exo. 3:15, Ps. 72:17)
Pronunciation of Yahuah
The “Yah” part is certain, since it is repeatedly recorded directly in the Old Testament (e.g. Psalm 68:4), both as its own “shortened version” of the name and as part of the whole name.
So where does the “HU” sound come from?
We find it in biblical names that contain the name of Elohim YAH, for example:
YeshaYahu (known in English as Isaiapjgh, which means “Yahuah has saved”)
YirmeYahu (from Jeremiah, which means “Yahuah will arise”)
MattihYahu (in Eng. Matthew, meaning “Yahuah’s gift”).
They are all pronounced “Yahu (Ya-hoo).”
Where is the AH part? The fourth letter of the tetragrammaton, “hey,” is somewhat controversial, but it clearly forms the “ah” sound, e.g. in (English) Judah, Hebrew Yahudah, and it is not Judeh or Yahudeh.
Thus, knowing that it certainly begins with YAH, then in virtually all contexts the next sound of the Creator’s name is HU (hoo), which is after YA(H), and given the sound of the last part, AH, is commonly heard in other words with the same Hebrew letters, it becomes clear that the name of our Creator is Yahuah!
It’s also worth noting that the Hebrew word YAHUDAH has the entire name YHWH spelled out, except for the letter “D-alet,” but we know how Yahudah (Judah) is pronounced to this day, and we know what it sounds like without the letter D-alet, and it is phonetically Yah-oo-ah (spelled Yahuah).
Almost that every hero of faith, king and prophet in the Bible had a name that included the Name “Yah”!
‘Lord' is not a true translation of His name. A translation conveys the meaning of a word or phrase into another language. His Name YHWH does not have the same meaning as the word Lord. His name means “I AM, I WAS, I WILL BE.” Lord is a title that means 'master.' It's not a name and therefore not a proper translation. Lord is used in place of יהוה (YHWH). They are substitutions, replacements - NOT simply an English version (or translation) of the Name.
Proper nouns - including names - are not translated. Names that are given to a specific individual are never translated changed to a different version. A name is a person's identity, and it does not change. Just look at the news. Reporters do not 'translate' foreign names no matter how difficult it is to pronounce.
Isaiah 52:5-6
“...My name is continually blasphemed all day long. Therefore my people shall know my name; therefore in that day I am the one who is speaking, ‘Here I am.’” The word blasphemed in the strongs concordance means to spurn or to REJECT. He prophesied that His name would be rejected all day long.
Exodus 3:15
“God, furthermore, said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘Yahuah, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is MY NAME FOREVER, and this is My memorial-name to ALL GENERATIONS.”

This was a good-faith effort to explain the beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. As a member of the Church, I think they did a pretty good job.
The only thing I will clarify is Salvation. We believe that there a 3 degrees of glory in Heaven. In order to receive the highest degree of glory, one needs to be baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and strive daily to live the teachings of Jesus Christ. This may sound exclusionary, but one must keep in mind that the lowest degree of glory is so good that it passes anything we could ever imagine because nothing on earth compares to it. Here’s a teaching that gets most Christians outside of the Church riled up. A person DOESN’T need to be a Christian to receive the lowest degree of glory. But I strive to receive the highest degree of glory because Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ want us receive all that they have. Anything less is disappointing to them. They want to receive the joy and glory they have, and through the grace of Jesus Christ, this is possible.
Lol love how you sped through how he translated the plates that no one on earth wver saw except for him. He used a magic rock and looked into his hat with it and the words magically appeared to him. There are so many horrible racist, sexist, and just messed up amd crazy things about the church that even it's own members aren't aware of or they ashamedly excuse snd are embarrassed about. I asked a lot of questions growing up in the church and the more I asked, the more I was told, and the more I learned the more I became an atheist. It's a cult and I feel bad for everyone who still believes that it isnt.
There were other witnesses to the plates and they did record their witness of it.
@@IllustratetoEducate Were any of them women? No? Just the men who might have an agenda. Interesting.
I've read the witness statements and they are all over the place. The women only ever saw them covered up in cloth and they talked about him handing them to them to hide which one sister did quickly...even though the men said they weighed 60lbs. How could these women easily be lifting 60lbs? The women also talked about feeling the pages and they felt like heavy paper and moved like paper but made a tinkling sound. The men described them very differently. Most of the witnesses were his family members. They also said they saw angels, heard voices, and used their spiritual eyes,etc to see the plates. Even if there were plates, they could have easily been in another language from previous humans and he just made up what they said.
@@SecretButterflyGarden yeah it’s interesting. I’m glad you’ve actually looked into it and made decisions based off of your research instead of just being ignorant of it. I can respect that kind of approach. 👍🏼
@SecretButterflyGarden The witnesses are some of the best pieces of evidence for the Book of Mormon. Critics often have to dig up cherry picked 2nd and 3rd hand accounts because the first hand accounts overwhelmingly support the reality of the physical plates. For instance, the quote about Martin Harris only seeing the plates with his 'spiritual eyes' originates from John A Clark, a minister who was antagonistic and hostile towards Mormonism
But if we look at what Martin Harris himself directly said about his experience we find something very different:
"Gentlemen, "do you see that hand? Are you sure you see it? Or are your eyes playing you a trick or something? No. Well, as sure as you see my hand so sure did I see the Angel and the plates."
When you read what the witnesses actually said (and not what other people said that the witnesses said) you come across with a very different picture. Critics often love to emphasize cherry picked quotes from the latter because they're very uncomfortable with the picture that the former paints
God did it Amen 💖 💜💖💜 ♥️
I attended the LSD Church with a friend for a year. I attend the ward’s Sunday Services (Sacrament meeting), Sunday school classes and priesthood meeting for a year. I found that the Mormon theology, doctrine and scripture all had the signs of a cult. The teaching of salvation by works drove one of my friends to suicide. His note “I can live up to the standards demand of me”.
1) Another Jesus - 2 Cor. 11:4 & Mat. 24:24 & 1 Cor 1:17-18 & Col 1:20, (LDS Reject the deity of Jesus and the message of the cross, Jesus is created being, not God in the flesh as John 1:1 teaches)
2) Non-Biblical Source of Authority. Another Gospel Gal 1:6 Acts 17:11, 2Tim3:16 LDS as above the Bible Doctrine and Covenants, Book of Mormon and POGP.
3) Salvation by works. Rom 11:6, Gal 2:21, Gal 5:4, Eph 2:8 (LDS Reject salvation by grace, a free gift given by God, by God thru faith in Jesus Christ)
4) Closed group with no fellowship (accountability) with other like minded groups. Eph 5:21 & 1 Cor 1:12 & Col 1:24.
5) Strong dominating leader (-ship) who has unquestionable authority over the group. 2 Cor 11:13-14 1Tim6:3 2 Peter 2:1 1 John 4:1, The J. Smith and the living prophet.
6) Group holds: new truths and revelation & all truths and keys. 2Cor 4:2, Reject Historical Christianity: Salvation by grace and forgives, one God, salvation at the Cross of Jesus.
7) New writings that proclaim and interpret these new truths. Rev 22:18 (Bible Doctrine and Covenants, Book of Mormon and POGP.)
8) Only the group is able to act and speak in the name of God. 1 Cor1 4:36.
8) Changing Theology-God Is 43:10-11, Malachi 3:6. Hebrews 6:17, Black were bad now OK, polygamy was to godhood for men, now bad and on and on.
9) Non-Biblical Teaching on the Nature of God Rom 1:22,23 Jude 1:4 ( humanize God, God was once an man and become God, God as body)
10) No one having joined can freely leave. (excommunication or trial is held.) 2 Corinthians 3:17. You can not just have your name remove, there will be a excommunication trial. You can not ask for letter of transfer to another churches, like Christian church do.
11) False Prophecy Mat 24:11, 2 Peter 2:1, 1 John 4:1 (Temple to be Built in Zion, Missouri, much of Doctrine & Covenants Section 11, Doctrine & Covenants 114:1, and more)
12) Men can become gods. Those who live worthy to become gods D&C 132:20
13) Simple question are answered with long evasive statements. Matt 5:37
14) The reputation of the group is more important that any one individual. (people are sacrificed) Romans 12:10 Romans 13:8 1 Peter 3:8
14) Double Talk - Statements contradict themselves Rom16:18 1Tim1:6 Jam1:8, Like: LDS believe in grace, but do not believe in Salvation by Grace.
Galatians 1:6-10 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel--which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!
Colossians 2:8-9 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ. For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority.
But since there is no agreed-upon correct Bible, no one can know which Bible is correct, so you are guessing.

Jesus spoke Aramaic. Paul was educated in Greek. But there was no approved of Bible until the 1500's, many years after Jesus died. And the name of Jesus is not found in the Hebrew Bible.

Jesus is in the Hebrew Bible. It is sung and read each Christmas:
Isaiah 9:6 .
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Isaiah 53: (700 BC)
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. 9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. 10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
@@djsarg7451 I was wrong about the numbers. Didn't have my Bible with me, but I do now. The most respected of all Bibles by the world's scholars is the New Oxford Annotated Bible, New Revised Standard Version with the Apocrypha, 2300 pages. Listed on page 2237 are the canons of the Hebrew Bible, its parts being The Jewish Canon, the Protestant Canon, and the Roman Catholic/Orthodox Canon, with each book listed. The books are not the same.
Mormons use the KJV because Smith said it was the most accurate at that time. It no longer is. I would suggest you check out this Bible and how it was put together. And on p. 2241, it says "No original manuscript of any biblical book survived. This situation , which may seem unusual to us is actually quite normal for ancient writings, and even for those from only a few centuries ago. For instance, none of Shakespeare's plays is available in the original manuscript from Shakespeare's hand." And books say, like Mark (We don't even know if this name is correct.), were copied and recopied for over a thousand years until the Bible could be standardized with the invention of the printing press.. If you wonder about this, read "Misquoting Jesus," by Bart D. Ehrman professor of New Testament Studies, U. of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. In this Bible you can also learn how textual criticism is used when one has varying manuscripts and how these difference can be made to come together.
This NRSV was recommended to me by the top Bible scholar in maybe the world. He has podcasts where he answers questions by the top scholars. His mentor was Francesca Stavrakopoulou, professor of Hebrew Bible and Ancient Religion at University of Exeter, U.K. and his name is Dan McClellan. You need to look him up. He worked for BYU for ten years and is an active member of the LDS Church. I'm not a scholar but I do know how to read and research. Just a few of the books I have read are : "Did Jesus Exist", Bart Ehrman, , "God an Anatomy", Francesca, "Armageddon, what the Bible really says about the End", Ehrman, "The Gnostic Bible," The Meaning of the Bible", by Douglas Knight, Professor of Hebrew Bible and Jewish Studies, and Amy Jill-Levine, Vanderbilt Divinity School, "The Triumph of Christianity," by Ehrman, "The Jeff on, "Faiths of the Founding Fathers," by Holmes, prof. of Religious Studies at College of William and Mary.
I also took online college lecture courses from "The Great Courses": The New Testament, by Ehrman, The History of the Bible and the Making of the New Testament canon, "How Jesus Became God," Ehrman, courses on world religions, The History of Christianity to the Modern Mega-Church, by professor Molly Worthen, U. of NC, Chapel Hill, "Beginnings of Judaism by Professor Isaiah M. Gafni, Hebrew University at Jerusalem. and more. Although not a believer I feel that the Bible as one of the greatest influences on Western civilization, it should be studied, but you can't use Bible verses to prove truthfulness so I will usually have their words do my talking.
Mormonism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all descended from Abraham so I guess they all believe in the same god, even though they seem to hate each other. I read and study some about all of these
Thanks

I wonder what they think a baptism after death does… a real baptism is accepting Christ as the spirit of god but you have to do that for yourself. And the Bible completely explains that and I know it works there are not any errors. Trust me people are checking for them constantly lol
They believe that the person they are being baptized on behalf of has the opportunity to accept or reject the baptism. While their spirit awaits the second coming of Christ.
@@drew123saulpaul it can’t help them the Bible never said that it could bro
It’s giving them the opportunity. Not forcing them against their will.
I can find lots of errors in the Bible. That is why it is not the inerrant word of God. When people wrote it they made mistakes. Divinity schools know all about these errors. Some Christian churches accept the fact that men make mistakes. If you don't think there are any mistakes, just ask me to tell you those scripture verses and I will. I took several online lecture courses from religious departments of universities and a divinity school. Having errors doesn't mean the Bible is not inspired. Anciently it was written in order to keep God's children on the right path. It was never intended to be a historical document.
@@PatrickThreewit okay we’ll compare all the texts in the world and all completed translations then come back and say it again buddy… and pray to Jesus as much as you feel like finding an answer ;)
Well done Daniel!
Is there any racism? Or is it allowed?
Racism is not an “official” aspect of the religion. It is a worldwide religion made up of every race on the planet.
We have a history of racism which even today we don't know why it happened or if it was just racist. Either way we condemn it because all are equal in the eyes of God. We regret our past with racism but trust in God that He had a reason for letting it happen (not saying God is racist, but the South did kind of hate us especially since Joseph was an abolitionist) Brigham Young was the one who implemented it but even he said that it wouldn't last forever
Blacks could not hold the priesthood until 1978. Sounds like racism to me.
You forgot to include what they believe about Black people, i.e people who are dark-skinned.
"Blackness in Latter-day Saint theology is a symbol of disobedience to God, and not necessarily a skin color."
holy racism, batman
Very interesting
