As a member of the restored Church of Jesus Christ, I appreciate your willingness to link arms with us and preach Jesus Christ. What a world we would have if all Christians joined forces in following Him…

You should have David Snell from Saints Unscripted come on your show.

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

As to why I preffer Latterday Saint, and Not Mormon its because the Book of Mormon Testifies of Jesus Christ not Mormon. When I used to be an Evangelical I didn't like being called a Bible Thumper. The Title of Christian was not taken away from me for becoming a Member of This Church rather it was The Holy Ghost that prompted me to join The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints yet in the past people have said basicly the same thing I just did, and were accused of being deceived by Satan for their Trouble...Oh Well....I cant change my Family, but I hope you guys are sincere, and not just trying to promote your Channel by getting a Bunch of Subs from Latterday Saint Viewers. Take Care.

you guys are beautiful and awesome i will try to tune in when i can. even though im clueless when it come to businessy stuff.

Thanks! Yeah the term “Mormon” was a nickname given by others and accepted by early members. It’s based on the name of an ancient prophet named Mormon who abridged the records that comprise the Book of Mormon. You can see why the name stuck. 😊 While it’s not offensive at all, it’s a name that we recognize is not representative of who we worship, that being Christ. So the name of the church is, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. That name clarifies whose church it is (Christs) who we worship and who we are as Latter Day (last days) Saints (anyone who follows Christ). I’m a lifelong member and live in New Jersey. I’d be happy to join your podcast, though it’d have to be a zoom call. Anyway, thanks for the unnecessary, but appreciated apology.❤

The Lord's prophet clarified our name is minimally The Church of Jesus Christ because it's His glory. AND THANK YOU! It's refreshing to hear your sincerity and forgiven.

As a Latter-day Saint, it was painful watching some of this, because you simply repeated inaccuracies that have been circulated by anti-Mormons who intend to mock and twist our beliefs. Instead of doing what almost every other Christian channel does and just read the same list of inaccurate facts as everybody else, you should have done your own research on our doctrine. May I suggest you invite Pastor Jeff from Hello Saints on your channel. His channel Hello Saints is the only accurate one I've seen about an Evangelical seeking to understand us. Thank you for issuing an apology in a different video. Also, there is a difference between Latter-day Saint members owning businesses and the Church owing businesses. Jet Blue and Marriott are not owned by the Church. They are owned by member families who started those companies. The Church does own a lot of real estate and media outlets. I'm not sure what boarding school in Utah you are referring to. The Church owns several colleges and universities in several states. Maybe you meant Brigham Young University?

Love the reply’s/ comments. The original source of calling the LDS Mormons was during the early church. It was a derogatory term kinda like calling the blacks some of the things they have been called in derogatory terms. I’m sure you won’t find one member who is offended or bothered by being referred to as a Mormon, we called ourselves that for familiarity reasons when others have asked what church we go to for as long as I can remember. It is recently that the error of how we and others thoughtlessly identify us or ourselves has been brought to light. We are The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Our religion is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We belong to the Church of Jesus Christ.

For everything that we latter day saints do correctly, we give full credit to living the gospel of Jesus Christ, as we underatand it. I recommend inviting pastor Jeff from the Hello Saints channel. He's an evangelical who has spent the last few years learning about our beliefs directly from us.

Thank you for apologizing. Note, we prefer to be called The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints, not Church of the Latter-day Saints or Mormons. People don't think we are Christian if we don't include the name of whom we worship, Jesus Christ.

"There are some things we can take away from everybody." That's our (Latter-day Saint) 13th article of faith. If we can set aside our differences (not abandon them, just set them aside) and focus on 1) commonality and 2) what good perspective do you have that I can come to appreciate and perhaps add to my perspective, then we can have the same spirit Christ has when He goes and hangs out with the sinners and hanging out with some of the Pharisees who obviously have some misunderstandings. The folks He gives a hard time are those who use their religion to criticize others rather than lift them up. May God bless you both.

If you want to show us respect, do not then call us Mormons like a dozen times after you even point out it is disrespectful. Also inviting us to talk with Christians means you think we are NOT Christians. Who is Jesus to us? What is the name of our church? The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints. He is our savior, the messiah, and the Son of the Lord God. I hope this helps but please, watch this video to see the first point I made.

Hello Kingdom Friends, some of my fellow members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have already addressed each of the inaccurate and/or misconstrued "mormon beliefs", so I'm going to skip that and jump to our core beliefs: We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost. We believe that Jesus Christ is our Savior, and that we must have faith in Him and repent of our sins. We believe that every person is a beloved daughter or son of God. We believe that God guides us on Earth, partly, through prophets. We believe that God uses prophets today. We believe the Bible to be the Word of God. We also believe the Book of Mormon-Another Testament of Jesus Christ to be the Word of God. We believe that families can be forever. We believe that the most important thing we can do in this lifetime is to folllow Christ's example and love and serve others. Yes, we believe alot of other things, too, but these are our core beliefs that you're going to hear repeatedly at our meetings. Thanks.

A lot of what was stated already was covered. I think what is missing is the financial history of the LDS history. From the start it was revealed that the Saints must support themselves, because the World will only seek to destroy them. Latter-day Saints tried twice to live a Communist (financial) type society similar to Christians in the Bible. The World interfered both times, but self sufficiency remained part of the religion. A few times the LDS Church were bankrupt, but that only caused a push to get out of that situation.

We Latter-day Saints don't care if you call us non-trinitarian Christians, non-mainstream Christians, non-Biblical Christians (we might argue against that, but we will take it with a grain of salt), and even if it must be said false Christians. But to say Mormons aren't Christians is fighting words meant to provoke and disrespect (not out of any kind if love) because we worship Jesus Christ as our Savior and only Salvation -- no matter how wrong others think the beliefs. Also, over the years the name Mormon has deappriciated within the LDS Church to more associate with the official name The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Mormon is a nickname in no way related to internal understanding of the religious believers, even if unofficially adopted for easy recognition.

Appreciate yall for taking the time to clarify and say something about this. Sadly most people in this world aren’t humble enough to publicly apologize on misunderstandings. We love all of our fellow Christian brothers and sisters. We are subbing now 🙏🏾

Awesome. Thank you. Together we will climb mountains and defeat the enemies. Hallelujah. Thank you Jesus.

It's not the Church of Latter-day Saints. You left out THÉ most important person. It's the Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints. And we are Christians even though you don't believe it. That belief just comes from the "traditions of your fathers" as it would say in the scriptures

This is soo touching. Thank you! We get so much hostility but in these troubling times, none of us have time for infighting. We should all be working together as Christian’s. Yes, we have differences but mostly we are all striving to serve and be like Jesus.

Please talk to ward radio. They'll help you see what are misconceptions and what are real disagreements. And you'll have a blast.

It might be wise to consider the fact that Mormons ARE Christians. We're just not Protestants, Catholic, or Orthodox. We may have some different views on the meaning behind Christ's message as has been submitted to Man over the millenia, but do understand that we consider Jesus of Nazareth who who was born of the virgin Mary and who died for our sins is the only way to return to God. We also seek to implement His teachings in to our lives as any good disciple who has taken on the name of their Master should. And that is why we are Christians.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Jesus Christ part is highly important to us.

Such humility is Christlike! Much Love and Respect!

We call it the Book of Mormon because of the prophet Mormon. He was a prophet historian and was commanded by God to compile the best portions of the writings from ancient American Prophets. This American Bible as some would call it, should tie us all together and not divide us. It is proof that God loves all his children and that Jesus Christ really meant it when he said, “other sheep I have which are not of this fold, them too I must visit and there will be one fold and one Shepard”. Unfortunately the term different Jesus has been purposely weaponized by pastors around the world because it’s a threat to their fold which keeps their bills paid. You’ll find different Jesus already parroted in the comments below. We forgive them “for they know not what they do”. Jesus Christ himself is the Head of this church. His pure Gospel is found in the Book of Mormon and one will gain an enlightened understanding of the Holy Bible by using it. I am proud to be In Christ fold. I love all those who seek Him. The Bible is an amazing place to start. We are here to say there is more. Thank you for opening your arms to us as we would love to do the same to all of Gods children

Yall are filled with Christ and I can tell. So amazing, God bless you! We perfer the full name of the church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, and we want others to know that by knowing the full name. But I personally am not offended by being called a mormon, its just not accurate.

You’ve grown together and I’m so thankful that yall are so transparent and real about your relationship. ❤

BASURAAA 😂

How sweet, charitable, humble, and very Christian of you! Along with the other recommendations you've received, I suggest that you connect with Steven Pynakker, who hosts the "Mormon Book Reviews" channel. He's an Evangelical and very friendly with all Latter-Day Saints and those of other faiths. He does a lot of interfaith work and builds bridges between many different denominations. The intent of his channel is to be "a unique place where all the expressions of the Restoration can intersect with one another," where he offers an 'outsider' view on related subjects. As for calling members of our church "Mormons" -- I know the Church doubled-down on using that term a lot during the past 30+ years, with the "Meet the Mormons" films and videos and such, but as I understand it, they did that to combat all the negative content out there used to defame the Church and it's members... especially in the age of the Internet when people would search for the word "Mormon" and it was negative content that was the norm. They had to put out a lot of positive, accurate content when people searched for the word "Mormon". It's only been in the last few years that we have tried to turn that ship and be more diligent in expressing ourselves with the full name of the Church to get away from any erroneous belief that we worship anyone other than Jesus Christ. As a parting note, here's a quick video, less than 3 minutes, from a Baptist Minister, and a few comments he had to say that you may find interesting: czcams.com/video/Ldu4XnQOP08/video.html

Always love hearing the true heart of people and how they walk out life with Jesus. It is not easy, but being transparent is key for intimacy. Thank y’all. Love tay.

I am a Latter-day Saints and i will support this channel. I subscribe, like and even share.

This sort of humility is a rare occurance from personal experience. Thank you for living this Christ-like attribute. I know it's been 6 days at this point, and others have explained, but yes, "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" is the full and proper name. What you might not know is, with a Modern-day Prophet and Apostles, the Church is a very living thing. So, despite being able to find many wonderful talks and things embracing the nickname "Mormon", the Lord has found it expedient (fit for a purpose), that we embrace and properly utilize the Full-and-Proper name for the Church. From personal experiences, I've found that as I follow the Lord's guidance through a Modern-day Prophet, I receive blessings. Good choices for people to talk with are: Ward Radio Thoughtful Faith Cwic Media Christian Homestead For All The Saints With Ben Hancock

Love this.... love y'all

Good food for thought ❤. Awesome

I’ve never been outside the USA so I’m used to the trash food 😂😂😂😂.

This was the best podcast yet!!!

Hi! The reason we prefer to be called Latter-Day Saints, is because we don't want people to think that we worship Mormon. We worship our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. That is why the name of the church is the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, so when talking about the Church, we like to at least say the church of Jesus Christ, that way we don't leave out his name. When referring to the members we are happy to be called latter-day saints. Saints because that was a word used in Psalms and the New testament to refer to believers of Christ. Latter-day, because we believe we are in the last days. Hope that helps.

Check out the Hello Saints podcast for more information on how to learn about the Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints.

These are true Christian’s. Thank you for your kindness, it’s rare at time but I really appreciate your loving actions to make such a video

I think what has happened with the name Mormon is that it has been taken over by other groups who are not part of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. An example is Mormon Stories, it's run by an ex-mormon turned atheist. He is trying to destroy faith or deconstruct a person's faith, while making money at the same time. If you saw just the title you would think it is full of Mormons bearing their testimonies but it's not. Would you go to Judas to learn about Jesus? The name The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is owned by the Church, so can only be used by them. There are CZcams channels like Ward Radio which are not affiliated with the church but they will tell you they are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. From now on if you see someone using the word Mormon be aware they might be iffy on their information. It's been hard for me to make the change simply because The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is a long title to type out.

Surprised that nobody mentioned this, but Mormon is a catch all phrase for all who claim to believe in The Book Of Mormon, including some groups that have done very bad things, like the LeBarons with their hit list executions and the Fundamentalist Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints and the horrible things it's leaders ritualistically did to minors. The term leads to guilt by association. These groups broke off so they could do what was forbidden by our Church, and also by law.

New subscriber here. Not LDS Anglican. But enjoy making friends from all denominations.

Do you also use people's preferred pronouns when they are obviously not correct? Mormons are NOT "Saints", latter day or otherwise, regardless of what they call themselves.

You may want to search chief midegah of the ojibwe nation and the release of the birch bark scrolls. Native Americans are petitioning the lds church because the church isn't listening, and they have a lot more records that back up the Book of Mormon.

Everyone loves the Mormons. But we don't have to apologize to them unless they prove they are right, which they have not.

Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints, the reason we are adamant for people to stop using "Mormon" is because people try to hide that we are Latter-day Saints of the Church of Jesus Christ.

Wow this is insane, you should not be apologizing. LDS is extremely extremely deceptive and truly evil.

You're not Christians. LDS are the Antichrist.

Latter-Day Saints are Christians 👍 Just a different denomination of Christianity, just like baptists and lutherans and methodists are different denominations of Christianity 👍

Thank you! We may have some doctrinal differences, but we are one in Christ.
