    There is a "Rapper" named Cody, that also goes by the name "Bloodbought", who died, and had a 'Near-Death Experience'. He describes seeing a Man in Hell, whom he later discovered was 'Joseph Smith', the Founder of the Mormon Religion. He also describes the DEMON who transformed himself into a BEAUTIFUL Angel, who had DECEIVED Joseph Smith with his False Teachings.

  • @margaretvaughan6095

    I much value this interview with Pastor John. .Christian Cults are demonised to a large extent because of their controlling tactics. Some are more sophistocated and controlling than others causing members to believe they are incapable of standing alone in the grace of Christ. As we have come to realise , Satan.appears, not as a rejected poverty-stricken homeless dependant, but as an angel of light and false peace behind a facade of subtle and damming plans, schemes and lies I've seen how he tries to assume himself to be like Christ and then twist the doctrine of God to suit his purpose. . Satan's strategy is to confuse and ensnare victims into believing the Bible and God have got it all wrong. He mesmerises the weak and vulnerable to doubt themselves, and to fear him. Mormonism is a particularly sophistocated cult originally created from pagan methods of illumination through crystals, stones and mental apparitions. Why would God testify to the Bible's inaccuracy when it contains His Word as testified by the power of the Holy Spirit? Cults confuse the truth. .Prophesy and corrections to the Bible and creation of the Book of Mormon were achieved from a stone buried inside Joseph Smith's tall hat, the same stone he and his father believed had divine power while digging for treasure, which got them into trouble. and the purpose of their treasure hunting was finançial gain. A failed treasure hunter, JS appeared to use the same methods of pagan magic to create the Book of Mormon, also claiming he had possession of the Urim and Thummin for this purpose?? Smith was a treasure hunter, a polytheist, polygamist, polyandrist, plaguarist and fraud. Sandra Tanner, Brigham Young Jr.'s GG granddaughter has provided many utube videos which are important to note after her extensive research. The LDS Doctrine and Covenants and teaching manuals are really the essence of the Mormon faith more than the Book of Mormon. Smith was no Christian martyr either, having shot and killed a man with a gun iwhile making an attempt to escape a frenzied mob at the gaol where he was held prisoner - hardly comparable with the spiritual maturity of Paul who gave his entire life to the Gospel of Christ. Who knows if some of the existing wives of the mob after JS were not included in his harem? As for the crazy idea 14 and 16 year old widows needing protection in marriage to JS, did they marry when they were children?? JS's wife, Emma tolerated her husband's polygamy, but he was not faithful to her or the marriage covenant according to Christ's standards. As an ex-Mormon I state my case. Literally charmed into the LDS Church, I knew nothing of the history of the church or the life ofJoseph Smith before becoming a member 43 years sgo. 33 years after quitting the LDS church Ive found Christ. My time as a Mormon was also an important experience,, failing which I would still be caught up in 'different doctrines' and false Christs today. Cults hide the inside story until they have us so bound by their diabolical mind control, it's impossible to quit them until Christ literally plucks us out of the fire after we cry out,, ..."something isn't right about this church LORD. What really is the Truth?" A High Court judge once advised 12 of us on jury service, "when in doubt the verdict is 'not guilty". And if the accused is guilty of a crime and the jury finds the accused not guilty, he/she gets away with committing crime.. When we don't seek out the truth and know the truth, our judgment's impaired and Satan gets away with fooling us.. When we know the truth in Christ, we're no longer swayed and seduced into false and 'different doctrines'. Praise be to Christ. 🙏❤️😀

    As a member of the Mormon Church, I have to say that he has mischaracterized our faith as many Christian preachers do. He exagerates our more unique doctrines to make them sound radical, but he lacks the context. His main point is that because we believe we can become like God, we are polytheistic. Most people will hear that and dismiss the doctrine without actually thinking about what it means. Yes, we believe we can become like God. We believe that God has the power to make us into something greater than eternal harpists who sit on clouds and sing amazing grace. We believe that God has a glorious destiny for us, that we are "co-heirs" with Christ (Romans 8:17), and that the next life will be one of learning, growing and becoming more like our Heavenly Father. What else do you think we are going to do in Heaven? Don't you think God wants for us what you want for your own children? Are we mere creations, bound to sit in an eternal worship service? Or are we children of God, with a destiny to become gods? Did not the psalmist say "ye are gods, and all of you are children of the most high"? Aren't we better than the animals in God's eyes? Don't you feel within yourself you were meant to accomplish something wonderful and glorious. We will never be independent of God's grace, even when we obtain godhood, but we also believe that God's Grace is limitless. The logical conclusion is that once in God's grasp, we have no limits. He meant what he said, He will one day make us perfect, as He and is Only Begotten Son are.

    John Macarthur one of the few current preachers that preach THE TRUTH - The Bible, chapter by chapter. verse by verse. His honestly is his sharing God's Truth! A lot of people shy away from preachers like this because they don't want to surrender their lives to Christ. They want to be their own pilot of their own plane. There arent many people who believe that those that reject Jesus will wind up in hell. They think you are crazy. Prosperity Gospel preachers are brainwashing people by preaching "feel good, think positively and God will give you the desires of your heart." They use God as a geenie, while they march to the bank and buy their next Mercedes. They are leading people away from the true God.

    It is sad that it is sooooooooooo hard to get Mormons to see that their religion is a LIE. I know it is not a silver bullet- but Alma 7:10 seems to be a good place to go. "And behold, he shall be born of Mary, at Jerusalem which is the land of our forefathers, she being a virgin, a precious and chosen vessel, who shall be overshadowed and conceive by the power of the Holy Ghost, and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God." ( Book of M- Alma 7:10) Some of my thoughts: -NO WHERE does the Bible ( pre-N.T.) tell the name of Messiah's mother. -WHERE does the Bible EVER say that Jerusalem and Bethlehem are interchangeable locations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? -The "Holy Ghost"? Why the over-use of N.T. terms? -Conceived by the Holy Ghost? Yet doesn't Mormonism teach that God/Elohim had sex with Mary- i.e. one of his LITERAL daughters? ( see Lev. 18)

    He does not know LDS (Mormon) doctrine - shame on him! 1. If he is so upset about Polygamy - explain it in the Old Testament - God commanded it then. 2. LDS members have the strictest moral code when it comes to sexual intercourse, no pre-marital sex, only sex with the person you are legally and lawfully married to according to God's law, no gay marriage or intimacy, no porn or prostitution in any form or shape. 3. Time for him to read the "Articles of Faith". 4. the LDS true name is Church of Jesus Christ - Christ is at the center of the religion - salvation is through Christ, not Joseph Smith or Brigham Young! 5. His explanation of the three kingdoms is far from correct. 6. The pope himself corrected some translations of the bible just recently - the LDS church believes in the bible as far as it is translated correctly. I'm a translator myself and understand translation/interpretation errors. 7. In the end, it boils down to the claim the LDS church has, that God still reveals His word through prophets - a pattern God followed throughout the Old and New Testament. Why would God stop now? How can we as mere mortals claim that He is done speaking? The same claims are in essence made by the Jews. Their canon is closed. Then the Catholics came along added the New Testament and made the same claim. How can we possibly demand that God has no more to say to us? I'll leave it at that for now ... Very disappointed in this video. I like many of his sermons, they are spot on. Shame on this video ...

Doesn't matter what the name is - the name doesn't prove it is Biblical or not. 6. The pope isn't an authority to all Christians, just the Catholic church. Can you show where the Bible wasn't translated properly? 7. In response, why would God stop - at all? Why a 1700 year gap until Joseph Smith? What proof is there of an apostasy apart from Joseph Smith's claim? PS Catholics didn't add the New Testament - the 'Catholic church' wasn't an organization for quite a while after Christ.

    Dr. John MacArthur does not understand what Mormon's actually believe. But if he believes the Bible is the word of God, why doesn't he believe the Bible? It clearly states: Amos 3:7 "Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets." Where are his prophets today? Dr. John MacArthur does not claim to know of any. However, the Bible does reveal: Matthew 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Show me where the "fruits" of the restored Church of Jesus Christ is evil? Are "Mormons" evil, or do they live the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Pure Relgion? The Bible reveals: James 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain. 27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
