QUESTIONS I ASKED IN THE VIDEO AND THE SOURCE:
www.oneplace.com/ministries/abounding-grace/read/articles/50-questions-to-ask-mormons-13705.html
Why does the Mormon Church still teach that Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God after he made a false prophecy about a temple being built in Missouri in his generation (Doctrine and Covenants 84:1-5)?
Since the time when Brigham Young taught that both the moon and the sun were inhabited by people, has the Mormon Church ever found scientific evidence of that to be true (Journal of Discourses, 1870, v.13, p.271)?
Why did Brigham Young teach that Adam is “our Father and our God” when both the Bible and the Book of Mormon (Mormon 9:12) say that Adam is a creation of God (Journal of Discourses, Apr. 9, 1852, vol.1, p.50)?
If Brigham Young was a true prophet, how come one of your later prophets overturned his declaration which stated that the black man could never hold the priesthood in the LDS Church until after the resurrection of all other races (Journal of Discourses, Dec. 12, 1854, 2:142-143)?
Since the Bible’s test to determine whether someone is a true prophet of God is 100% accuracy in all his prophecies (Deuteronomy 18:20-22), has the LDS Church ever reconsidered its teaching that Joseph Smith and Brigham Young were true prophets?
Since the current LDS prophets sometimes contradict the former ones, how do you decide which one is correct?
Since there are several different contradictory accounts of Joseph Smith’s first vision, how did the LDS Church choose the correct one?
Can you show me in the Bible the LDS teaching that we must all stand before Joseph Smith on the Day of Judgment?
Can you show me archeological and historical proof from non-Mormon sources that prove that the peoples and places named in the Book of Mormon are true?
If the words “familiar spirit” in Isaiah 29:4 refer to the Book of Mormon, why do familiar spirits always refer to occult practices such as channeling and necromancy everywhere else in the Old Testament?
Why did Joseph Smith condone polygamy as an ordinance from God (Doctrine and Covenants 132) when the Book of Mormon had already condemned the practice (Jacob 1:15, 2:24)?
Why were the words “white and delightsome” in 2 Nephi 30:6 changed to “pure and delightsome” right on the heels of the Civil Rights campaign for blacks?
If God is an exalted man with a body of flesh and bones, why does Alma 18:26-28 and John 4:24 say that God is a spirit?
Why did God encourage Abraham & Sarah to lie in Abraham 2:24? Isn’t lying a sin according to the 10 commandments? Why did God tell Abraham and Sarah to lie when 2 Nephi 9:34 condemns liars to hell?
Why does the Book of Mormon state that Jesus was born in Jerusalem (Alma 7:10) when history and the Bible state that he was born outside of Jerusalem, in Bethlehem?
If the Book of Mormon is the most correct of any book on earth, as Joseph Smith said, why does it contain over 4000 changes from the original 1830 edition?
If the Book of Mormon contains the “fulness of the everlasting gospel”, why does the LDS Church need additional works?
If the Book of Mormon contains the “fulness of the everlasting gospel”, why doesn’t it say anything about so many important teachings such as eternal progression, celestial marriage, the Word of Wisdom, the plurality of Gods, the pre-existence of man, our mother in heaven, baptism for the dead, etc?
Why do you baptize for the dead when both Mosiah 3:25 and the Bible state that there is no chance of salvation after death?
Since the word grace means a free gift that can’t be earned, why does the Book of Mormon state “for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do” (2 Nephi 25:23)?
Does the LDS Church still regard the Pearl of Great Price as Holy Scripture even after several prominent Egyptologists proved it was an ancient funeral scroll?
Why does the Book of Abraham, chapters 4 & 5, contradict Alma 11 in stating that there is more than one God?
Why does Doctrine and Covenants 42:18 say there is no forgiveness for a murderer when 3 Nephi 30:2 says there is forgiveness for him?
If the Adam-God doctrine isn’t true, how come Doctrine and Covenants 27:11 calls Adam the Ancient of Days which is clearly a title for God in Daniel chapter 7?
Why does the Book of Mormon contain extensive, word-for-word quotes from the Bible if the LDS Church is correct in teaching that the Bible has been corrupted?
Why do the Bible verses quoted in the Book of Mormon contain the italicized words from the King James Version that were added into the KJV text by the translators in the 16th and 17th centuries?
If the Book of Mormon was engraved on gold plates thousands of years ago, why does it read in perfect 1611 King James Version English?
If marriage is essential to achieve exaltation, why did Paul say that it is good for a man not to marry (1 Corinthians 7:1)?
Since the Word of Wisdom teaches us to abstain from alcohol, why did Paul encourage Timothy to drink wine for his stomach (1 Timothy 5:23)?
If Jesus is the Jehovah of the Old Testament and Elohim is referred to as God in the Old Testament, can you explain Deuteronomy 6:4 to me: “Hear, O Israel: the LORD (Jehovah) our God (Elohim) is one LORD (Jehovah)?
Why does the Mormon Church teach that we can be married in heaven when Jesus said in Matthew 22:30 that in the resurrection men neither marry, nor are they given in marriage?
How can worthy Mormon males become Gods in the afterlife when God already said that before him no God was formed, nor will there be any Gods formed after him (Isaiah 43:10)?
If God had a father who was a God, how come Isaiah 44:8 says that he doesn’t know him?
If God was once just a man who progressed to becoming a God, how do you explain Psalm 90:2: “…even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God”?
How can God be an exalted man when Numbers 23:19 says that God is not a man?
Why does the Mormon Church teach that Elohim had sexual relations with Mary to produce Jesus when both Matthew and Luke teach she was a virgin (The Seer, January, 1853, p.158)?
Why does the LDS Church teach that Jesus paid for our sins in the garden of Gethsemane when 1 Peter 2:24 says it was on the cross?
Why did Bruce McConkie write that a man may commit a sin so grievous that it will place him beyond the atoning blood of Christ (Mormon Doctrine, 1979, p.93) when the Bible says that the blood of Christ cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7)?
Why does the LDS Church teach that man first existed as spirits in heaven when 1 Corinthians 15:46 says that the physical body comes before the spiritual?
Why do Mormons say the sticks in Ezekiel 37 represent the Bible and the Book of Mormon when Ezekiel 37:20-22 tells us that the sticks represent two nations, not two books?
Why does the LDS Church teach that Jesus and Lucifer are spirit brothers when both the first chapter of John and Colossians teach that Jesus is the Creator of all things, including Lucifer?
Why do worthy Mormon males hold the Aaronic priesthood since Hebrews 7:11-12 clearly teaches that it was changed and superceded by something better?
If your leaders are correct about the complete falling away of the true church on earth, was Jesus in error when he said that the gates of hell would not prevail against it (Matthew 16:18)?
If having a physical body is necessary to become a god, how did Jesus become a god before he had a body?
Do you think the LDS Church will reconsider its teachings that the American Indians are descendants of the Jewish race now that DNA evidence has proven that they are actually descendants of the Asian race?
If polygamy was officially re-instituted by the Mormon Church, how would your wife feel about you taking another woman?
Since the LDS Church teaches that there was a complete apostasy of the true church on earth, does that mean that the 3 living Nephites and the Apostle John went into apostasy also?
Why are Mormon Temple ceremonies secret to the public when the Old Testament temple ceremonies were open to public knowledge?
Oh nice thank u. I need these ? I was gonna go over every ? And write them down myself but u sent it to me thanks 👍
Thank you so much for all you do. I know I need to email my mom's friend so I think I'll start with a couple questions and if she seems interested then I can show her the video.
Answer to your last question, the "temple rituals aren't secret but they are sacred" *insert eye roll to the heavens here* (I looked up the rituals they do in the temple and I walked away feeling icky.)
@@christopherfoote4643 if we aren't supposed to know what's going on in the temples, why hasn't the LDS church done something about the videos on the Internet? Because anybody can look up what goes on. And don't tell me that there's nothing that they can do because the LDS church does have ways and the power to take them down
@@christopherfoote4643 wow someone who claims to be a man of God you sure are judgemental to those who don't have the same beliefs as you. I am married so I wouldn't be interested in you. Even if I wasn't married there is no way in hell I'd ever date you with how judgemental you are. I get that it's a breach of privacy so I'm asking why doesn't the church do anything to take the videos down? They could hire lawyers and have them taken down and whoever put them up prosecuted. Why don't you just leave this channel alone, and go about your marry way.
THANK YOU THANK YOU. I was raised lds for 58 yrs, its been exhausting... questions, contradictions, hypocrisy and judgmental followers.... I have just ordered a new Bible to start my new journey of knowing God … again, thank you so much for your research and knowledge …. hugs
how exciting. they way you talk, i can almost sense new life like like a fresh cool breeze, with every breath you take. 58 years and born again. that doesn't happen much either. i was a late bloomer too @40 years.
God has such incredible things in store for you. His Truth will set you completely free from all the years of hard experiences. Praying for you 🙏❤️
Shalom Lisa, what about reading the original scriptures, the bible is a corrupt book, a mistranslation of the original scriptures, with lots of words and names changed by the roman sun worshippers. Research the real name of our creator, our father who talked with Moseh and gave us the ten commandments. Although the bible is corrupt, you can still read the context and message, so you can study and ready it. The name of our creator is not god, but YAHUAH, Hebrew I WAS, I AM, I WILL BE and His beloved son Yahusha (Hebrew for Yah is our Deliverer) and not the pagan name Jesus. Remember Yahusha is not Greek and not Roman, He was Hebrew. Research the letter J... it did not exist until 1478-1550, so the name Jesus was never written in the bible before that time... so why is this so important? Because the original names has a very very important meaning and message. Read Isaiah52:6 and remember the commandments You do not cast the Name of Yahuah your Alahim to ruin (in the bible KJV version Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. So even though it was written, still the enemy changed it, because truth is in the scriptures... that's why those sunworshippers started the catholic church and honour many pagan feasts like christmas and eastern, they wear dagon hats and use occult symbols in their clothing and buildings, you have to ask youself why is that? It is time for christians who believe in Yahusha the Son of our creator YAHUAH, who died for our sins, so that we have eternal life to research and pray. All those who seek the truth read Deut 4:2 and Matt 5:17
Or you could wake up and be rational and logical
I'm 58 & was a mainstream Catholic for 38 years. The last 20 increasingly traditional Catholic & REFRESHING!
Give traditional or Maronite Catholicism a try.
I recently became a Mormon and started wondering about things that didn’t make sense. Now, that I know more.. this religion is so false. I felt I was being brainwashed. Thank you so much for helping me get Unbrainwashed.
This is so scary to think that the church was doing this to me. Thank you Jessie.
I'm so glad you've been researching! Just because Mormonism is false, don't give up on the Bible! God is real. The LDS version of god is not. I pray you'll find truth in the Word of God! Mormonism distorts and corrupts Christianity but true Christianity offers all the answers to life with verifiable evidence. Josh Mcdowell has a book called "Evidence that Demands a Verdict" and it's a powerful example of evidential and verifiable truth found within the Bible. Praying for you as you continue to seek truth!
Don't get me wrong. They're plenty brainwashed. But this video uses a lot of falsehoods
I know right! so glad you're out of there
@@bookofmormonanswers whatever it's worth, they probably just learned that certain things were being kept secret from them.
For example, you don't tell anyone what the covenants in the temple are before they are endowed. Sometimes finding it out and finding out it was withheld from you is a game changer.
@@bookofmormonanswers What do you say to the person that says that they have prayed and the holy spirit told them that the book of mormon is not true? It seems to be based of off feeling not actual proof or evidence towards truth. There is a lot more evidence proving Mormonism wrong than proving it right. I encourage you to do your own research on these things on a non Mormon website. God is good and will reveal himself if you truly seek him! I have a lot of love and compassion for you in my heart!!
Thank you for this, I grew up lds in 1978 I found Christ, and a the bible open up to me... My Dad is still in the lds church, and still hopes I come back, it is sad.
Yeah. Mormonism is a tragedy. So many people who think they know God but they don’t.
What is it about God you know about that LDS don't? Just asking. I believe in the New Testament Jesus
and I am LDS. I don't think I'm off my rocker. Thanks.
@@stanleyhall8951 I love the LDS church I was raised in the LDS; the difference it changed for me is dispensationalism rightly dividing the word the difference between the Old testament and the New testament, salvation in the Old testament was different than salvation in the New testament
Thanks. I'm sorry for your difficulty.
@@amazingcolorizing4975 _"God is not a Man who was "exalted" to become a God."_ God is not a spirit. Before you try to misquote John 4:24, you are misquoting that in 2 ways. First, In Greek there is no equivalent for the English word “a” so the translation can be interesting. Meaning that “God is spirit” and “God is a spirit” are technically both correct translations. However, If we compare to other scriptures of similar structure then we clearly see that it wasn’t not meant to be a literal description of God being but is describing one attribute of God. For example, in 1 John 4:8 it says that “God is love.” In 1 John 1:5 it says “God is light.” Deuteronomy 4:24 and Hebrews 12:29 says that God is a consuming fire. Is God literally love? Is He literally light? Is he literally a consuming fire? No, Those are attributes of God not descriptions. Second, the context of this verse is talking about the worship of God and again, not a literal description. God is spirit in that He is holy and pure and they that worship him must worship him in holiness and purity.
Interestingly, This debate over whether God is a material being, or an incorporeal, immaterial being was a highly debated subject in the early centuries of the Church. In fact, for a time John 4:24 was used as evidence that God did have some kind of material body because the Greek word that is translated as “spirit” (Pneuma) can also mean “air” or “wind”, which is a material substance. Origen, who is known as the most important theologian of the early Greek church and who believed that God was incorporeal and immaterial, defends his views by arguing that John 4:24 isn’t meant to be interpreted literally.
Now, if God was once a mortal being it is in no way inconsistent with the fact that he now has all power and all knowledge and possesses every virtue, grace, and godly attribute that the Bible, Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants have said God has. Irenaeus, a highly respected and influential early church father, stated "How, then, shall he be a God, who has not as yet been made a man? Or how can he be perfect who was but lately created? How, again, can he be immortal, who in his mortal nature did not obey his Maker? For it must be that thou, at the outset, shouldest hold the rank of a man, and then afterwards partake of the glory of God. For thou dost not make God, but God thee" (Irenaeus Against Heresies 4:523, Ante-Nicene Fathers 1:523-524) Here Irenaeus, an early church father, argues that how can we become a god, if we were not once a man. Using this same line of argument, how could God become a God, if He was not a man once? John 5:19 says The Son can’t do anything that He hasn’t seen the Father do. Would that mean that God lived as a spirit in a pre-mortal life, was born and received a body, died, and was resurrected and Jesus imitated what the father did? We are also made in the image of God, pretty heavily saying God at the very least looks like a man.
We believe God has always existed for eternity too. D&C 93:29 “Man was also in the beginning with God. *Intelligence, or the light of truth, was not created or made, neither indeed can be.”* I think it is safe to say God has intelligence so therefore He was not created and has existed forever in our theology. Throughout the scriptures God is called Eternal or Endless, including in the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants. God is Endless and Eternal because his power, kingdom and dominion are Eternal and Endless. God has no limits to His power. He is from everlasting to everlasting because His power continues, having no end.
Also, saying God is a man isn’t a unique idea by Joseph Smith. It was said by Jesus in Mark 10:18 in the 1611 edition of the King James Version which reads "why callest thou me good? There is no man good, but one, that is God". The phrase ‘no man’ was removed from every subsequent printing of the King James Bible even though the same Greek word (oudeis) is also translated ‘no man’ in Revelation 7:9 and 14:3 (and yes if you were to look it up online the Greek Bible then the Greek word oudeis is there in Mark 10:18).
_"God took on flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:1)"_ The trinitarian view of God (3 persons 1 being) is not found in the Bible. No verse describes God as 3 persons 1 being in the Old or New Testament, if God was like that then wouldn't you think it would have been explicitly mentioned? It doesn't say that and no honest reading of the Bible would lead you to conclude that God is 3 persons 1 being. The Bible claims Jesus Christ is Lord (Romans 10:9, 1 Corinthians 8:6, Philippians 2:11) and the Son of God (Matthew 3:17, Matthew 17:5, John 10:36, John 20:31), He is our mediator with God (1 Timothy 2:5), who said that God the Father is greater (John 14:28) and that God was his God (John 20:17), He wanted us to be one with Him and God as they are with each other (John 17:21-23). Paul very clearly tells us that to us there is one God, the Father and one Lord, Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 8:6). There is no verse in the bible to back up your pagan belief and to explain it you have to use sources that came centuries later.
John 1:1 does not support your pagan belief. Jesus Christ does the Father's will and His (Jesus Christ) will is subjected to the Father and has the authority to speak and act on the Father’s behalf making him the word of God. Jesus Christ is the example of the fulfillment of God’s word of providing a savior for mankind. Through Jesus Christ can our words both reach and be fulfilled by God (1 Timothy 2:5). When in John 1:14 the word became flesh, the Words of God took life in Jesus Christ and to show people that you can live a life free of sin through Jesus Christ being that example (John 13:15, 1 Peter 2:21, 1 John 2:6). Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of promises made to us before the foundation of the Earth (Ephesians 1:4-5, 2 Timothy 1:9, Titus 1:2). Jesus Christ is the word and the word is God the Father because he speaks on behalf of God, the words of God made flesh, through him does communication with God exist, is the fulfillment of promises that God made from before the foundation of the Earth and is the messenger of salvation.
_"God did not have physical sex with Mary."_ We don't believe that either.
_"There are not unlimited Mormon Gods equal to our God) in the cosmos."_ That is debated and most don't believe that either.
_" God doesn't have multiple wives - nor ANY wife"_ If there is a father and a son then logic would dictate there is a mother. Oh wait, your so-called "god" isn't logical and you can't explain it or make sense of it so you "live by faith".
_"There is no marriage in Heaven. "_ You are severely misquoting that. All three places this is said in (Matthew 22:30, Mark 12:25 and Luke 20:35) makes it very clear that it is talking about the resurrection. The Greek word there is "anastasei" which translates to resurrection. If they wanted to use heaven then they would have used "ouranō". They didn't, which is why it reads as "For in the resurrection (anastasei) they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven (ouranō)." How you equate Jesus talking about no marriage during the resurrection, an event, to meaning no marriage in heaven, a place, is beyond me. If you read our own scriptures then you will find it actually agrees with these passages. It says that if your marriage isn't by God and that if these marriages aren’t made before the resurrection then when you are dead you will not be married and be appointed angels in heaven. (If you care to look it's D&C 132:15-16).
In Greek, the language this was originally written in, the expressions “marry” (gamousin) and “given in marriage” (gamizontai) translate forms of the related Greek verbs gameō and gamizō, which have to do with the act of becoming married. The first verb is used here to refer to men and the second to women. If Matthew, Mark or Luke had wanted to say that Christ had said something like “Neither are they now in a married state" (because of previously performed weddings) then in Greek they would have used a perfect tense (gegamēkasin) or a participial form (gamēsas) of the verb. They did not, so that cannot be what Jesus meant. Jesus said nothing about the married state of those who are in heaven only that there isn't marriage during the resurrection.
The source of the story the Sadducees told Jesus comes from one of the books in the Apocrypha, Tobit. A woman was married to seven men, each of whom died on the wedding night but then had an 8th husband, Tobias the son of Tobit (because she belonged to Tobias by right of inheritance), that was decided in heaven and she would be his in the hereafter. (Tobit 7:10-11). Raphael (the archangel) was even sent to marry the woman to Tobias. (Tobit 3:17). Jesus probably had this account in mind when He told the Sadducees "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God" because they had neglected to note that the woman had married an 8th husband and that God had sent an angel to marry them so that there marriage was recognized in heaven and she would be his in heaven.
As a person of color myself that is considering this church it’s actually a huge relief to have these questions out there so I can really see if the missionaries have answers to them because I am so confused right now I’m struggling with that
Watch dan Vogel on CZcams for a detailed history of the church. Read the CES letter for a good list ofvthe issues. Part Native American here so the whole dark skin is a curse thing in Mormonism is a big deal and very racist. Never turned white and delightsome myself

The missionaries job is to bring souls to Christ to teach the first principles of the Gospel. They bring a simple message, pray about it with real intent
Ive recently left the lds church!!! Im so happy i did so...😊. Ive not been this happy for 20 years plus. N i got baptised into a Christian church. ❤❤❤❤❤
Congratulations! So happy for you!! ❤
Praise God!!! Study diligently. There are false doctrines in the Christian church too.
I was born and raised Mormon, in 2017 I took a class on world religions and my professor encouraged me to research my religion in contrast with Christianity. I have been grateful for his guidance ever since that day.
The question I came up with almost immediately after beginning my own research in 2017, (Maybe question 48) is, Galatians 1:8 states, "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!"
With this scripture in mind, what does that mean about the Angel Moroni delivering the golden plates? A gospel other than the one originally preached. Shouldn't Moroni and Mormons be cursed?
Sadly, they are.
It's great you started asking questions. Truth does not fear questions. May God continue to open your heart and mind to His glory!
@Hale Hafa To answer both of your questions: Who is Jesus Christ? According to the Bible, He is the Father's Son, as much Deity as the Father is Deity, the promised Messiah. What does it mean to be born again? According to the Bible, in John 3 it states that one must be 'born of water an the spirit'. In 2 Thes 1:8 we must 'obey the gospel of Christ', in 1 Cor 15:1-4 we find the gospel of Christ is 'the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus'...so we must obey 'the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus; in Romans 6 we read that we do that through full immersion/baptism into water which, according to Acts 2:38, is where we receive the Spirit of God. That is the literal act of 'being born again', but there are deductive ways to understand it as well. Romans 6 also tells us that when we raise from the waters of baptism, we are raised 'with Christ into new life'. That is the moment we are 'born again'. We are urged in the NT to abide in Christ in this new life so we can maintain our relationship with Yahweh.
@Hale Hafa Good morning! Yes, Jesus is God's Son. Yes, the Bible makes it clear we must be immersed. What would I say to those who don't speak of it? It really depends on their reasoning, but the answer is always in scripture. Immersion in and of itself is simply a bath or a jump in the pool. But when we seek God in faith and sincerity, we cannot escape the scriptures (ok, we can, but it just means we forsake salvation). One of the most popular reasons for ignoring baptism is because people take a single verse -either Jn 3:!6, or Acts 10:17 (i think)...belief or confession... and use that as their entire doctrine for salvation. Neither of those verses provide the full picture, as is so often the case in scripture. We need to take the WHOLE picture scripture paints for us and then make our doctrines from the comprehensive sum of them. In the case of salvation, there are a tremendous amount of scriptures on the topic. All the other essential parts of salvation...faith/belief, confession, repentance...are linked to baptism. So why knit pick? I will always bring someone to Romans 6 because Paul does such an excellent job of explaining how immersion is the manner by which we die to the law and sin. It is only when we've died to the law and the sin it highlights that we can actually live in grace. That does not happen in prayer, confession, or upon our faith - it happens through the faith that has grown from the moment we believe Him to be God the Son - but our death to the law/sin does not happen by it alone.
I hope that helps.
In terms of that verse in Galatians what does “gospel” mean? What’s the same as the gospel in the Bible and the gospel in the plates? What’s different? I highly doubt you understand what that verse is trying to say.
God bless you sister. This is extremely helpful.
She changes the quotes when she can. See the post above.
Excellent presentation. I liked that you backed up your thoughts with references. You put a lot of work into making this video!
Check those "refernces" she misquoted the 1st chorinthians chapter 7 verse 1.
Are you aware that Jessie changed the wording on the quotes or hyped them up in quite a few places? I checked every quote. This is deceit. A noble Christian trait, right?
I appreciate your content. It’s a blessing.
She had fooled you too. Her sources are altered when she can and she makes an opinion into doctrine. That's deceit.
@@misssue1824 Deceit is perverting God's word. Joseph Smith was a false prophet and led many lost sheep astray and his teachings are still causing many to stumble. Heres a quote I'm not sure if she mentioned but this quote the vary character and fruits of the Mormons false prophet.

Enjoyed this video!! I’m going to check out more of your videos. 😃
I caught Jessie changing words to make her arguments better and taking unofficial opinion and making them sound like doctrine. Sure, that's the Christian thing to do.
Thank you Jessie! You are the best! God bless you!!
Does the Lord blesses deceivers? Jessie didn't use the actual quotes on a lot of stuff. she changed a few crucial words. She quoted a passage from Paul about not marrying that very few live today, including her. Sheesh!
Nice video Jessie...and I just saw a channel called "BMC studios" where they posted videos "evidences" of the Book of Mormon... Those videos might help you find more topics to do a video on
Another person who didn't check Jessie's sources. She changed words and took opinions and treated them like church doctrine. Let's see. Who uses deceit?
Love love love this!! Well done Jessie!!
This is dope. Thanks sister
Thank you so much for the answer regarding Priesthood.Much appreciated.🌹
Which quote? The one that takes Brigham's opinion (which was the norm in his day) and then judges him with our racial understanding of today? Or the one stated before the Civil War when slavery was causing a hotbed of pre-Civil War tensions? If you like this stuff, read Martin Luther's book, "The Jews and Their Lies" where he rocommends driving Jews from their homes, synagogues and schools, burning their stiff and even exterminating them.
47 questions that have been answered many times over and over. Just because you don’t like the answers doesn’t mean they can’t be answered. Not all members can answer all the questions but how is that different from any religion? The church is not designed to fill people’s mind with irrelevant facts just so they can answer questions for skeptics.
Mormonism is a false religion and that can be proven with historical facts.
Fsrd you can’t prove the Bible as the word of god either. Lots of historical texts conflict with the Bible. You believe in the Bible because of faith.
@@Tom-vg5nb Actually I can in fact historically prove The Bible as being correct. Look back into history, look at prophecies which come out of The Bible and the fulfillment of these prophecies. Look in the book of Matthew, what Jesus prophesied would happen to the Jews came into fulfillment within the generation he prophesied it would. There are many other examples on top of this as well.
We have over 5,000 texts of original manuscript pieces. There are over 20,000 translations of original text into other languages that can be compared to one another to get a true and accurate account. There are ample amounts of documented history in support of The Bible. Not only is there written history, there is also archeological and Geological support for it.
There is always a point at which someone must have faith but that does not mean we are void of historical, archeological and geological documented facts which support The Bible as being a true and legitimate text.
Lazy retort with significantly no evidence to back it up.

This questions where I can PRINT them out??!!! This is fantastic!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE MOST HELPFUL video I have watched yet because it’s a compiled list of GREAT questions to ask the missionaries when they come!!!! Please send a link to print off and GOD BLESS YOU!!! Love what the Lord has done through you to SEEK AND SAVE THE LOST AND GATHER HIS ELECT 🙌🙌🙌
Another person who didn't check Jessie's sources. She changed words and took opinions and treated them like church doctrine. Would a Christian do that?
Thank you for your work, research and taking the time to explain Mormonism. I hope you have a great day.
1. Is there only one god, or are there multiple gods? If multiple, how is a person to choose which deserves obedience?
2. Would you agree that before anything can exist, something has to create it?
Did your god create everything? If yes, who/what created your god?
3. Is your god infallible?
4. Is your god omnipotent?
5. Is your god omniscient?
6. Is your god benevolent, or malicious?
7. If your god cannot make mistakes, then it follows that everything it creates is either perfect, or that your god intentionally makes things that are flawed. Would a benevolent god intentionally create something likely to suffer because of its flaws?
8. If your god can do anything, and it created the universe, why didn't it simply create a perfect world inhabited by perfect beings? If your god wanted obedience, and god is not malicious, why did god make disobedience possible?
9. If your god knows everything, does it already understand every thought and feeling you have? Does it instantaneously know everything you say and do? If yes, what is the point of religious rituals, such as prayer?
10. Why would an omnipotent and omniscient god not communicate directly and unambiguously with individuals, with no need of books, churches, prophets, signs, miracles, etc?
If a person is not intelligent enough, or not "worthy" enough to speak directly with god, whose fault is that? Who made the person in the first place? If a person is unworthy or incapable of directly communicating with god, how can that person be capable of recognizing a valid spokesperson for god?
11. Think about the person/people who convinced/persuaded/ordered you to believe in a version of god. Are they infallible? Is it at all possible for them to tell you something they sincerely believe, but for that thing they tell you to be actually incorrect?
12. Are feelings reliable tools to guide actions? Suppose I hear a person in my neighborhood talking a lot about the presence of violent break in robberies nearby, and I get apprehensive. I am convinced by the passion my neighbor puts into this story, even though I've seen no tangible evidence.
That night, I hear a noise. I FEEL certain that it is a robber breaking in to harm my family. I get out of bed, pull a pistol from the bedside table. Without opening the bedroom door, I shoot through it to get the robber. When I open the door, there is my son, lying dead on the floor from my bullet. I was sure. I relied on my feelings. My fear of a robber. My hope of being a defender father. Feelings, not facts. Was that a good way to live my life?
14. Do you deny that religion (superstition, irrational behavior) is the root cause of most human conflict in history, that for centuries millions have been tortured and murdered "because god told me to do it"?
13. Suppose a person has a book full of maps to guide a group journey. They rely upon it, but the group is perpetually lost.
You question the book, but your friend insists that the book is accurate. "How do you know?" you ask. They reply, "I know that this book is accurate and perfect, because it says so in the book."
Your friend insists that the book is information from an expert, the best map authority who ever lived.....but some other people wrote the book, based on their interpretation of the map expert.....but that is okay, because of how passionately they shout about their version of the maps, and how strongly it makes your friend feel.
When you show your friend hundreds of self contradictions in the book, they get upset and say that you are just not reading the book correctly. Which person is messed up? You, or the book fanatic?
How do you justify cherry picking which parts of the bible to follow?
14. If the point is to die and go to heaven, why not simply commit mass suicide and get it over with? Christ was quite literally a kamikaze; is that what you preach should be emulated in daily life?
15. Why is it necessary to use superstition and irrationality to justify your practical principles?
Why treat humans like a donkey in need of the stick of hell and the carrot of heaven? If you want positive secular behavior, why not justify that behavior in practical terms? Perhaps because you know that your principles are utterly impractical, that altruism is literally suicidal?
Love your questions. I can tell you are a person who really thinks
Stop saying false accusations about the church of Jesus Christ of Latter. saint. The church is True it's the people who do wrong and blame the Church.
I am sure Jessie could get her answers. The question is would she be happy with them.

You have good questions. Could anyone answer them to your happiness is the question from me.
See the LDS missionaries and ask them. I don't think I could answer your questions satisfactorily.
@@stanleyhall8951 I have met with missionaries, and they literally RAN out of my apartment when I asked these questions. What it boils down to is: "Dont you want to feel nice? I promise you will like it. Just hold still and accept it while I put JESUS up into your asshole, accept it with obedience and humility the way I did"
Religion has NO ANSWERS THAT MAKE LOGICAL SENSE because they prey upon the weak, the desperate, the lonely, the stupid. It is a FAIRY TALE.
I left after a month of studying lds beliefs via lds doctrines at the BYU library.

Thank you. I am just coming out of the lds church and this has been helpful.
Oh, I'm glad to hear this. I have about 55 videos all concerning Mormonism and Biblical Christianity so I hope you'll give the rest of my channel a look. God--the One, true God of the Bible--loves you and cares about your eternal soul! You are precious and loved. Please don't give up on God because Mormonism taught a false version of Him. 💞
I sincerely hope you don’t go down the path of so many other Mormons I know that have left the church. I know you’ve found some answers to a lot of questions that you had, but be prepared because you just lost the answers to questions you never had before. The answers you had don’t corespondent to mainstream Christianity and you are going to have dozens of questions that can no longer be answered. Please please PLEASE don’t let that lead you away from God. Just because you might not have all the answers doesn’t mean that He doesn’t exist. He does exist and He loves YOU. He knows your heart and He knows you are only doing what you truly believe is right. Just keep in open mind just incase later on down the road you find something that leans you back towards the LDS church. I hope your family understands that you’re only doing what you feel is right. 👍
@@davislarsen7132 thank you. It was being introduced to some Christian preachers that I enjoyed and then reading the Bible with new eyes that led me here. I am closer to God. I definitely have things to unlearn and relearn the correct doctrine, but I’ve been surprised at how much sense the new answers have made to me. It has made the transition easier.
We still must meet God someday soon so please consider Jesus. Don't forget to ask God to show you what He wants you to know, ask Him to show you in His Word the Truth, and then read the Gospel of John and Romans and if God has not spoken to you through His Word when you have read through those Books. Then again ask God to show you, God must see that you are sincere and that you have a contrite heart, when He sees your heart is humbled and you wish to know His Word more than anything else on Earth, He will open your minds eye so you will be able to see more clearly what the Truth is. I am not saying to wait to have a burning in the bosom because the Bible does not say that at all. You will know because He promises if you believe in Him, He will give you His Peace. Jesus finished the work on the cross and all we need to do is believe that and give God Thanks for sending His Son to die for you.
I caught Jessie changing words to make her arguments better and taking unofficial opinions and making them sound like doctrine. Beware!
I really appreciated your list of questions. I have another one for you, and an answer to one of yours. The only unforgivable sin is denying the Holy Spirit (Matthew 12:31-32)
My question for the LDS church is...if you only receive the Holy Ghost after you are baptized, then how can God confirm through the Holy Ghost that the Book of Mormon is true BEFORE you join the church and are baptized?
hi. i’m not a mormon, but i never had this question as it has always seemed clear to me. all people on earth can feel and enjoy the holy spirit from time to time. when you read the scriptures, pray, go to church or do something nice. the holy spirit can also touch your heart when you watch, read or see something really beautiful. art, music, anything. however, only after getting baptised you receive (note) NOT the holy ghost, but the power of holy ghost. you are given the power of holy ghost that (as it is promised) from now on will ALWAYS be with you. it will become like your part, it will help you and give you more blessings and make you understand things better
This question of yours can just as easily be used against the bible as Jesus himself says that the Holy Ghost testifies of the truth. And yet the bible also speaks of people receiving the Holy Ghost after being baptized. Acts 19:2-6
The answer of course is simple. The gift of the Holy Ghost is not the same thing as the testimony of the Holy Ghost. Of course one can receive a testimony through the Holy Ghost before being baptized but the fulness of it cannot be attained until after baptism.
Yes, I wonder although I did baptize looking to leave myself
@@marinadavis8607 I left the church after reading the Bible...too many discrepancies between the true nature of God and practices of the church. Mainly, God says to walk in the light yet their are secrets in the church and I read the CES letter and their are too many lies that were covered up. Humans aren't perfect of course, but God is clear how He feels about liars...they have no place in heaven. I go to the Seventh Day Adventist church now. They're not perfect either but they teach out of the Bible and don't have problems trying to answer tough questions. I recommend going straight to the source...God. if you truly seek Him, you WILL find Him. That's His promise not mine. I've had so many miracles happen since I found God and I'll never let any religion come between us again. I believe there are true disciples of Christ all over the world in many religions. If you love God, keep His 10 commandments. Even the 4th one keeping the 7th day Sabbath holy. God never changed the Sabbath to Sunday, the Catholic church did that and they don't have the power to change God’s directions. No one on earth does. Trust God and His word, the Bible...no one else. God bless you 🙏
never heard of the light of Christ?
Thank you for this information, as there are Mormons coming to our apartment complex where vulnerable seniors are being taught their teachings on Tuesday nights and I am a Sola Scriptura Christian, bent on exposing their error.
Good work! Find something they can easily understand to show them the difference. Maybe doing a Bible Study on the Book of Galatians. I'm hearing that is a good book for understanding that Salvation comes through Faith and not works. Soon after Salvation the works come out of a changed heart and mind. This is possibly the most important point to understand about Gospel since people have a tendency think they have to earn or do something to deserve things no matter what their beliefs are.
Of course knowing the Biblical Jesus Christ is the most important thing, however Salvation through Faith and not Works is oftentimes difficult for people to grasp. And is it something very important to know for that light to come on.
Besides just "dumping" the information on them, pray for them. Pray that the Holy Spirit can reach them and give them insight. Pray that God will save them. While Jessie's list is a good thing, remember that people can only manage so much and will fight against change.
@@leef_me8112 Yes good point about prayer. Remember to pray the Holy Spirit keep them from being mislead by the Mormon Missionaries.
@@Ben-pk4cv We aren't a works base gospel, anyone who says that is ignorant of what we believe. What we teach is that Jesus Christ dying on the cross is what allows us to be forgiven of our sins and is the gateway for us to be resurrected and have eternal life. Without that, no matter what we do, we wouldn't be able to save ourselves from our sins without the atonement. We believe that we are saved by grace through faith but that faith isn't just professed belief and is also expressed in our behavior and/or works (Matthew 7:21-23, James 2:14-26, Titus 1:16, Isaiah 29:13). Or put simply, works are outward manifestations of faith in Christ that allows God’s and Jesus Christ’s grace to increase and affect our lives more abundantly (Ephesians 2:10). However those works are not what save us, it is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ paved the path to God with his blood when he was crucified and you have to follow the path that was laid out for us to walk in to get to God. The path we must walk to live with God again and to have His grace grow in our life that the Bible (and Book of Mormon) has said to do is to 1st have faith in Jesus Christ (John 3:36, John 6:29) 2nd keep the commandments (Matthew 19:17, Luke 11:28, John 14:15, John 14:21, John 15:10, Hebrews 5:9, 1 John 2:3-4, 1 John 5:3, Revelation 12:17) and not to purposefully sin and/or repent when you have made a sinned (Acts 3:19, Acts 17:30, 1 John 1:9), 3rd make and keep the ordinances that God has asked of us like baptism (Matthew 28:19-20, Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38, Acts 22:16, Romans 6:3-10, Titus 3:5), 4th to serve and love others (Matthew 20:28, John 13:34-35, Galatians 5:13-14, 1 Peter 4:10-11) and 5th faithfully endure to the end (Matthew 10:22, Matthew 24:13, 2 Timothy 2:12, Revelation 2:26). To deny this is to deny the Bible.
Search ,ponder and pray are the things I do and the spirit of God telling me the truth..all questions is overcome by the truth confirm by god

In context to your first comment on this thread, it is relationship to having an answer that is actually true. If you have an irrational and illogical answer, given which God created those concepts of rationality and logic, then you ought to have answers that are in fact rational and logical.

I remember the first time I read the book of Mormon. I came across these verses and it really open my eyes to the concept of praying.2 Nephi 32:8-9.And now, my beloved brethren, I perceive that ye ponder still in your hearts; and it grieveth me that I must speak concerning this thing. For if ye would hearken unto the Spirit which teachers a man to pray, ye would know that ye must pray; for the evil spirit teachers not a man to pray, but teachers him that he must not pray. 9. But behold, I say unto you that ye must pray always, and not faint; that ye must not perform any thing unto the Lord save in the first place ye shall pray unto the Father in the name of Christ, that he will consecrate thy performance unto thee, that thy performance may be for the welfare of thy soul.

Some things may not be church doctrine but obvious contradictions within Mormon scriptures and teachings from apostles and prophets. King Follett discourse by Joseph smith taught a lot of Heresy, unbiblical, unchristian and following his way leads many zealous Mormons down the wide way (which says heaven) but to find yourself in Hell because it was the false, counterfeit way.

@@Dearmormon No, the King Follett Discourse simply clarifies what is in the Bible. We are children our Father in Heaven, just as Jesus Christ says. We are not some creation of a God that is unknowable and is very different from ourselves.
Jesus Christ showed that we come to earth to get a body and be like Him and our Father. Why is that so offensive? We have a God who understands us and wants us to be like Him. This is what Romans 8:14-19 tells us.
God is eternal. What does that mean? The Hebrew word is quedem. It means "that which is before, the east, ancient." That is not the same meaning we use in English. He is from "everlasting to everlasting." Everlasting is olam. It means "what is hidden, and beginning or end that is not defined, ancient as well as perpetuity." Read the statements of the early church fathers like Clement, Tertullian and Justin- all used philosophy to explain God in Platonic and Neo-Platonic concepts. By the time of the Nicaean Creed no one had the right understanding of God and there was no one who could reveal it.
@@misssue1824 Thank you for your reply 🌸 But the God of the Bible is knowable and he wants a personal relationship with his creation which is possible with the right God. It’s not possible with the God of mormonism. John 14:7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him”.
1 John 5:20- “And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ”.
John 17:3- “This is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent”.
BUT the omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient God CANNOT be completely understood by our finite minds. And that is okay, God made it that way.
Is 55:8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts”.
Job 11:7 “Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty”.
Is 40:28 “Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.”. As for the King Follett discourse which you say “clarifies what is in the Bible”, you are mistaken because I know my Bible and I know what’s in it and what’s not in it. JS taught another gospel which Gal 1:8 warns us about “But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed!”. The teachings of JS and the LDS church do not agree with essential christian doctrine. Here’s an example that is not biblical and a “real” christian would not agree with these mormon beliefs: the essence of God: God was once a man like us who progressed to Godhood. Or that Jesus is God’s literal firstborn son (thus making him created- like his brother Satan). So if you believe those LDS beliefs about who God and Jesus is then we believe in two different Gods. And only one of those god’s (the God of the Bible) can only save. All other gods can’t.
Woohoo! Thanks Jesse!
God bless you sister ✌🏿️
She has fooled you too. check her sources. She had changed words and is using opinion as doctrine.
Is it possible to get the text of the questions?! Would be great to have for my Mormon friends!! Thank you!!
Yes, let me get a link for you!!
I'm taking notes, its very difficult as its hard to keep up, I can post them, if Jessie doesn't.

Yes, I agree!
Fair qiuestions. Love your videos.
I caught Jessie changing words to make her arguments better and taking unofficial opinion and making them sound like doctrine. Sure, that's the Christian thing to do.
Thank you so much for this
See my other entries. Jessie is altering info just a bit to make it more juicy.
Hey subscribers! 🥰 I had to delete and re-upload this video because the first one had such terrible sound quality. This means I lost all your comments and likes and views! 😭 So please leave another comment so I can reply this time around.
Love, Jessie 💕
I thought your 2nd up load was perfectly fine. Sound was good.
@@prayingpatriot8018 I used a copyrighted song in the last upload and once CZcams removed it, the sound was horribly distorted. You probly saw it before the music was removed. I missed your first comment, unfortunately.
Do you have a link to a list of all of these questions? Would you mind making a PDF and making it publicly available?
It's Me Jessie oh yeah...well I have 48 (that’s right forty-eight) questions a Neo-Evangelical Sectarian such as yourself couldn’t answer. So now what?? Hahaha. See, I can do the theological juvenilism thing too👌🏼.
I recently came across your videos and I have to tell you they are...well...this is how I would best describe the overall presentation/delivery method of your content: First, you add an outward shell of Mary Tyler Moore meets Martha Stewart. On the inside however you add some snide, cryptic, underhanded conjecture mixed with a BIG heaping tablespoon of hyperbole and over/under reaching contextualizations of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints...and then...batta bing badda boom, you have itsmeJessie👍🏻🤗. Even though she has never spent ONE single day as a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she definitely is the “one true Scotsman” when it comes to our faith.
You see, even though someone like me could give a comprehensive, contextualized, and faithful response to all of these “questions” it doesn’t really matter because Jessie (and all those antagonistic to my faith) are the only ones that have the “REAL” answer rubric. Yes, you see, MY responses could ONLY be the result of the constant “brainwashing” I receive or purely because gosh darn it I am just sooooo “deceived”. Isn’t that right Jessie? I mean, I just have not yet reached the theological and intellectual Zen that you and your followers have reached so I should just realize that YOU guys are the only ones with the acceptable answers to these questions....not a knowledgeable/believing/faithful member of the church 🤔
On a serious note Jessie, I really think you have some major theological tunnel vision. Without going into my credentials let’s just say I know a thing or two about theology and history. I am sure you have little to no clue about the history of the early church following the death of the Savior all the way to the various offshoots of “Christianity” that formed after the reformation. In my experience, most evangelicals/born agains have absolutely no clue about the muddy process that was the canonization of the Bible you currently hold in your hand. I love the Bible and believe it IS inspired of God, but anyone with ANY theological/didactic integrity should realize that it is NOT infallible. The Book of Mormon is NOT infallible either, but I believe it to be inspired of God as well. The transcriptive and translational errors are man’s doing not God’s. I would like to see you give the same textual criticism to the Bible as you do the Book of Mormon. I would like you to delve into the corruption that surrounded the various ecumenical councils that spanned hundreds of years in order to try to create a credal totalitarian launching point to justify the eventual slaughter and banishment of millions of “heretics” and “non-believers”. Trust me, there is no history more corrupt than that of pre and post reformed “Christianity”.
Whenever you make videos engaging in historical mudslinging towards my faith, I laugh knowing that there is an absolute litany of historical mud that could be thrown right back at you 1000 fold. Yet, due to your severe theological tunnel vision, you will continue to sling mud at my faith while failing to give any attention to the heaping mound of theological and historical corruption surrounding your faith system.
I could easily create a video called “47 questions evangelicals/born-agains can’t answer” with ease. I could create a video with 247 with ease...but I won’t/wouldn’t because it would perpetuate the same circular argumentation that you seem to enjoy engaging in.
Bottom line here is that Christ spent nearly ALL of His ministry telling people to “come follow ME” rather than “don’t follow them over there”. If there is anything I have learned from your videos it’s that if you are having toilet problems don’t call the plumber, call the pizza delivery boy who “claims” to know everything about plumbing.
Dr DLehrsch32 such a long reply, but nothing positive came out of it. Why don’t you answer these questions before attacking her?
thanks Jessie. I watch these videos for interest now as I no longer have an interest in LDS, Mormon or whatever their latest title is. Its because of videos such as yours I know the truth about this church. Its so sad they are great people just deceived by the mormon machine. I see the apologists often telling you to go away, you are spoiling their recruiting drive. Or mock you in videos. But they can't touch your facts or research. Ignore them ! With the number suscribers you have you I have no doubt you are on the Mormon Radar just like exmorgan (love her channel), Mike Norton and several others who I have watched. Thank you for spreading the truth.
So you don't believe in baptism for the dead, prophets or the word of wisdom for example? That we
don't need them any more?
@@amazingcolorizing4975 _"Paul wasn't calling "baptism for the dead" the will of God - and it isn't."_ Paul was most sensitive to blasphemy and false practice's. Multiple times he says not to be deceived by false teachers and doctrine (Romans 16:17, Galatians 1:6-8). He said that circumcision, a practice that was part of the Jew religion for centuries, is no longer needed and means nothing now and to stop teaching that it is needed (Galatians 5:2-6). Hell, the whole reason Paul wrote all of his epistles in the first place was to correct those churches when they started to go astray. There are probably other things in the Bible that I am forgetting that reflect his dislike of false teachings. Now with that being said, what makes you think Paul would have included 1 Corinthian 15:29 if he disapproved of baptism for the dead? There is nothing in the text before or after to indicate that he disapproves of the practice, even in greek.
_"The Bible is clear that once you die - then comes the Judgement"_ Uh No, it doesn't say that. In fact, the Bible talks of multiple Resurrections. The Bible says that the Final Judgement will be after the 1000 years of Christ's reign on earth and after satan is loosed for a season. Revelation 20:4-12.
Christ preached to the dead (John 5:25, John 5:28, 1 Peter 3:19) that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit (1 Peter 4:6) and that preaching is still happening today because every knee will bow and confess Jesus is Lord (Philippians 2:10-11) on judgment day. To live to God in the spirit is to follow Jesus Christ and do what he has asked of us. That doesn't mean that people get a second chance (or in our theology, will get to the Celestial Kingdom) if they were sinners and multiple of our prophets have said as much. We are told not to procrastinate our repentance from our own scriptures (Alma 34:33-35). We are judged on our works (Romans 2:5-6, Colossians 3:24-25, Revelation 20:12, Revelation 22:12), meaning those who did evil shall inherit evil and those who did good shall inherit good (John 5:29, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11).
_"The Law and the Prophets were FULFILLED in Jesus Christ"_ No, the Law was fulfilled, Jesus was the last sacrifice for the sins of all the Earth. No where does it say that there will be no more prophets or the need has gone away.
_"Nowhere to be found in the Bible. The life-style practices are fine, but it isn't doctrine in Biblical Christianity."_ Actually, the Bible very clearly warns not to drink excessively. Romans 13:13, 1 Corinthians 6:10, Ephesians 5:18, 1 Timothy 3:3, 1 Timothy 3:10, 1 Peter 4:3.
Either way, who cares? We don't believe the Bible to be the only scripture so if something isn't said in it then it doesn't matter to us.
Ok thanks for straightening me out on that. It makes sense to me now. I have misunderstood that. I finally
learned the story of Jesus and the Canaanite woman recently.
@@stanleyhall8951 i will have to look that up. Thank you for your reply.
@@amazingcolorizing4975 Buddy, only type one comment out and post one comment with everything on it unless you run out of comment space. It's annoying to be spammed.
_"You're incorrect about the Bible not saying "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment"_ When most of you guys say that you mean that immediately as soon as you die you are judged, of which I was saying is not in the Bible. The Judgement happens all at one time at the end of the millennium, or 1000 years after the second coming
_"You are living in a False Reality"_ LOL No, I am not. I am living in the true Church of God and Jesus Christ.
_"are you calling the Word of God insufficient? Tell Him so when you come face to face"_ Uh are you claiming the Bible is Jesus? Because Jesus is not the Bible and to equate them is idolatry. The Bible is a book about Jesus, not Jesus. I am not calling Jesus Christ insufficient. I am saying that the Bible is not the only word from God.
_" None of us has a 100% understannding of God."_ You may not but that is because your God is really confusing and illogical. My God is pretty easy to understand.
_"His Word will ALWAYS be 100% True."_ I agree. The Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price will always be 100% true.
Thank you so much for this video. I live on a Mormon family and I don't have enough motivation to do this research and prove them wrong.
"Gotcha" questions with perfectly clear answers for one willing to seek them out don't disprove anything.
One simple example from this video is the question referencing Isaiah 29:4. The video claims that the Church holds that this verse speaks of the BoM. That is simply not true. The Church holds that verse 11 thru basically the end of the chapter is a prophecy about the Restoration of Christ's Church in this dispensation. Does the maker of this video present this evidence? No... The maker of this video is not interested in a fair debate which weighs the actual evidence... Consider that fact while you weigh whether a person engaged in such dubious methods has pure motives. And if impure motives, then how are we to trust anything she says?
You can't prove them wrong, just as we can't prove we are right. That's where FAITH comes in.
I felt really sad reading your comment. I do hope you pray sincerely about it and by the intent of your heart, receive an answer and bring back that peace from the Spirit that indeed, this church is true.
@@nateypecks your leaders use you by tribalism. Don't you gave to donate money to them periodically or something
@@edgaraf9411 Um.... How would donating money make the organization or group tribal? Every organization accepts money... If I give money to more than one, then by your logic I'd be a member of two tribes which contrary to the definition of tribal.

Jessie, you are Awesome! So many LDS people need to watch your videos! There’s no denying that Mormonism is NOT TRUE! 🕊
I definitely do not agree with you.
This video was so well researched. Thank you, Jessie, for helping put these important questions out there for everyone!
Love you sister I'm waiting for your new video
I love your channel! When are you dropping Cringe Binge Vol. 2?
The video was not well researched. She literally copied this from another website.

@@colleenbaida7690 My Spiritual Life was the one saying she'd done the research. The problem I have with her video, along with all her other videos on the LDS Church, is that she spreads lies.

Videos like this renew my faith in the fact that God is still working in the hearts and minds of this generation ❤️ thanks for this video! It helped. I love the Bible🙏🏽

All excellent questions Jessie. My prayers are for LDS captives to reflect, meditate and pray to the true God of the Bible for wisdom. Thanks for your ministry.
Your prayers are in vain because many Christians have finally realized the inconsistencies and divisons within Christianity, even regarding critical doctrines, and have come to a saving faith with the one and only true Jesus Christ, and have joined his one and only true Church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Miracles never cease!
@@goingtothetop55 God will be the judge of my prayers - not LDS doctrine. Tell me, which of the over 100 Mormon splinter groups do you belong? Do you follow the unaltered teachings of Joseph Smith? If so then Warren Jeffs is your living prophet. Is it LDS doctrine to be a perverted child molester? Also, would you kill for your LDS god, if your prophet told you to? The fraud of the Mormonite faith never ceases!
@@maxwellsilverhammer9233 *_Do you follow the unaltered teachings of Joseph Smith? If so then Warren Jeffs is your living prophet_*
Joseph Smith never said to marry as many women as you can, and put all your children on government welfare and turn your wives and children into virtual slaves, then kick out the healthy teen age boys so there's no competition for the young girls. Joseph SMith never put beds in the temple so that he could have sex with every women who got married there, no matter who she got married to.
*_would you kill for your LDS god, if your prophet told you to_*
No LDS prophet ever ordered anyone to kill anyone.

Brigham young says to spill their blood on the ground. I would call that killing.

Murdered people there
lindalds en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Smith_and_the_criminal_justice_system
Also arrested for conspiracy to commit murder several times. You can read his statements on telling others to kill someone and saying it’s justified by god. Also lots of banking crimes where others lost all their money and Joseph got rich hmmmmm. Prophet of god and banker/land prospector (he happened to have land for sale by “Zion” when god told him it was Missouri) shop owner/steam boat operator.
Joseph also had people destroy property of those that opposed him.

These are legitimate and important questions, worthy of serious considerations.
Very perceptive, outstanding in every way! Blessings to you and your family.
Hi, have you looked at some of the comments shortly after yours? Many of these questions have been answered just in these threads alone (see Phil H), and all probably have answers from other sources.
@@dlariby Hello, I left the LDS Church in 2006, after serious consideration and almost twelve years of active membership. So my comment had the purpose of encouraging others to investigate and find out the truth for themselves. So I testify to the fact that Jessie's questions, which she thoughtfully prepared, do not give credence to the LDS Church when properly answered.
If you are a Mormon, be the best Mormon you can be - love one another. There are not many Mormon-made videos on CZcams attacking Born-again Christians, AOG Christians, Pentecostals, Witnesses or any other denominations. I wonder why so many other faiths target Mormons. Most of the Mormons that I've known are lovely.
Jesus said, "Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."
How would LDS's attack the clear teaching of Christ?
Mormons are lovely. They are greatly deceived.

Come and add your talents, gifts, and energies to ours. We will all become better as a result.
Some might ask, “But what about my doubts?”
It’s natural to have questions-the acorn of honest inquiry has often sprouted and matured into a great oak of understanding. There are few members of the Church who, at one time or another, have not wrestled with serious or sensitive questions. One of the purposes of the Church is to nurture and cultivate the seed of faith-even in the sometimes sandy soil of doubt and uncertainty. Faith is to hope for things which are not seen but which are true.
Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters-my dear friends-please, first doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith. We must never allow doubt to hold us prisoner and keep us from the divine love, peace, and gifts that come through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Some might say, “I just don’t fit in with you people in the Church.”
If you could see into our hearts, you would probably find that you fit in better than you suppose. You might be surprised to find that we have yearnings and struggles and hopes similar to yours. Your background or upbringing might seem different from what you perceive in many Latter-day Saints, but that could be a blessing. Brothers and sisters, dear friends, we need your unique talents and perspectives. The diversity of persons and peoples all around the globe is a strength of this Church.
Some might say, “I don’t think I could live up to your standards.”
All the more reason to come! The Church is designed to nourish the imperfect, the struggling, and the exhausted. It is filled with people who desire with all their heart to keep the commandments, even if they haven’t mastered them yet.
Some might say, “I know a member of your Church who is a hypocrite. I could never join a church that had someone like him as a member.”
If you define hypocrite as someone who fails to live up perfectly to what he or she believes, then we are all hypocrites. None of us is quite as Christlike as we know we should be. But we earnestly desire to overcome our faults and the tendency to sin. With our heart and soul we yearn to become better with the help of the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
If these are your desires, then regardless of your circumstances, your personal history, or the strength of your testimony, there is room for you in this Church. Come, join with us!

Good presentation. My favorite oddity in the BOM is the mention of "STEEL.: About six times. They did have carbonized iron ancient Rome but "steel" was coined in 1766. So you could not have anything "bright and shinny as steel: in the BOM.
Question #48: In 1844 Joseph Smith wrote a letter denying that he was practicing polygamy but according to the Church he had been practicing polygamy since 1841. So if polygamy was ordained by God then why did Joseph Smith lie and deny about practicing it?
Question #49: if the Mormon Sacrament in Doctrine and Covenants says Bread and Wine but was changed later on to water due to the no alcohol policy. Then with the invention of non alcoholic wine why do they still do water instead of non alcoholic wine?
Question #50: if Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon then why did the 1st draft contain several spelling and grammatical errors
#48 is false, he never denied practicing polygamy. #49 You're grasping straws, doesn't matter what we use for the sacrament, wine or water, as long as we focus on the Savior and his Atonement. #50 it's because Joseph Smith was human. Of course there will be mistakes and errors. God works with imperfect people. You think when the Bible was translated into English centuries ago, that there were no grammatical errors and corrections? Let's be real now.
@@goingtothetop55 In History of the ChurchVol. 6, p. 408-412 it records an “Address of the Prophet” on Sunday, May 26, 1844 where Joseph Smith states:
“What a thing it is for a man to be accused of committing adultery, and having seven wives, when I can only find one.”
Except for by this time he already had over 10 wives!
That doesn't make any sense. If you are translating something then you would know how to spell the words in English ESPECIALLY when you are looking right at them. Also tell me if Polygamy was to take care of the widows of the Church then why did he marry a 14 year old GIRL?!
Also if the book is supposed to be the most correct book then why would it need revisions and changes. The Book of Mormon claims that the Lamanites were the ancestors of modern day Indians/Native Americans and that their dark skin was a result of them turning away from God. If that is the case then 1. Why does DNA evidence contradict this with the fact that there isn't a drop of Semitic blood in Native Americans? And 2. Why hasn't the skin of those members of the Black Community and Native Americans that have joined the Church turned White? After all original copies of the Book of Mormon claims that they will become White and Delightsome?
And my last point is since when is staring into a hat at magic rocks a method for translating ANYTHING?!
I HIGHLY recommend that you either watch this video yourself or the "Top Ten facts that the Mormon Church doesn't want its members to know"
@@goingtothetop55 the difference is that when the Bible was translated it was being translated from Aramaic, Ancient Hebrew, and Greek and then from those languages into Latin and then into German and then finally into English. Where as the Book of Mormon was straight from "Reformed Egyptian" to English. So there is no excuse for the errors
oliver cowdrey was excommunicated in 1838 for insinusating that joseph smith was adulterous. the adultery had to come before 1838 because fanny alger left kirtland in 1837. the mormon church officially recognizes that joseph smith was doing fanny alger. he was doing her. it was adultery. he was doing her and oliver cowdery called him on it, and oliver cowdery was exed in 1838 for his troubles. the mormons recognize louisa beaman 1841 as joseph smiths first polygamous wife. polygamy and bigamy and adultery are not recognized by any state. it's all against the law.
some mormon is going to tell me that polgamy is in the bible so it's okay.
now i'm going to talk simple so any mormon can understand. the bible is a record of god's dealing with man. or god's dealing with sinful man. man is sinful so i just said man. the actions of man are sinful. the actions of god are not sinful. how can god who does not sin and cannot sin interact with sinful man? that's another topic.
so we have instances where men are blatantly sinning, but they are in the bible. polygamy is such an instance. shall we also commit incest? i can show you clearly in the bible where lot committed incest. it's in the bible. will you use that instance to promote incest in your church? i hope i haven't given any of you mormons any ideas.
David Jensen I do not know the answer to #48 but as for #49- the wine/water is symbolic. It is not really the liquid itself but what it represents (Jesus’ blood). As for #50, Joseph Smith had only a 3rd grade education. Though he could read the translated words perfectly, he and those who helped him translate were subject to error because people aren’t perfect. Hope I could help :)
Thank you for this. As far as Abraham is concerned, He and wis wife (actually half sister) lied centuries before Moses was given the Ten Commandments.
I joined the LDS church in 1970, when the leaders of the church taught the Roman Catholic Church was the Church of the Devil. 51 years later, it is no longer mentioned.
I left it in 1993, not only for doctrinal teachings, but the bullying the church leaders dish out.
What bullying, and what church leaders?
Right on about Abraham. Its unfortunate that so many people chose to leave the church over someone being rude to them. The title “Bishop” or “Stake President” doesn’t somehow magically change flawed people into perfect angels. I think we can all agree that Jesus was the only perfect being to walk the earth and with that knowledge we would all be ignorant to presume that church leaders would be perfect. They are not. Nor am I. Neither is anyone.
@@davislarsen7132 I think you’re perfect 😍
Another thing. You have very good questions Jessie.
This woman is brilliant
Thank you. I'm trying to leave the church but it's so difficult to break all the conditioning and "brainwashing"... I know that the Bible is true. And I'm not ignorant to the fact that BOM and Joseph and the prophets have been wrong way too many times to be taken seriously. It's tough breaking those mental layers though.

My sheep listen to My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; 28 and I give them eternal life, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.
29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.
have you reached out to ex mo support groups, they might be helpful
Have you broken away?
@cherylburnett2014 I have broken away as in, I don't attend the LDS Church, but there are aspects of the indoctrination that still sit with me. I'm constantly striving and trying to attain perfection, which could be seen as a good thing to some, but it's very hard for me to surrender my desires and will over to God at times.

Thank you for opening up my eyes up more..I was raised LDS..but left for several reasons.....just wow🤔😏
Hi Jessie, great video.
Interesting. Same questions and criticisms today that have been around for 175 years. And yet those of us who believe in the restoration still believe and those who don't still use the same arguments to try to disprove it. It would be refreshing if this video discussed the importance of faith, righteousness and living a Christlike life when it comes to learning truths of God. These elements are indispensable and yet so seldom discussed. 1 Cor. 2:9-14. I'd love to hear more about how loving God is vital to learning the truths of God. And keeping the commandments is required to love God.

@@Ralph419 In my head from three days ago.
Yea, suuuure you have Mormon, sure, and we can take your "good" word for it? LOL the "good" word of a mormon is worth nothing. Like the one Mormon on here a while ago (templescoop) who shoots videos of LDS temples for the church, yea he claimed he got a degree in Greek and Hebrew from a college that doesnt even have a degree program in it (GCU). The professors he claimed who personally taught him, yea one turned out to be the dead of students (who doesnt even teach Greek or Hebrew) and the other turned out to be an instructor at Texas A&M who teaches engineering.
So many great questions!!
Love#8!
7:43 this can be boiled down to not enough context. It begs the question "why did the translators add the words". Once that's answered, you can judge if it's false. But what if the italicized words were added because they were more accurate?
I can judge it straight away copy and paste.
Great list! Now it's time to apply this critical thinking to Christianity in general.
I caught Jessie changing words to make her arguments better and taking unofficial opinion and making them sound like doctrine. Sure, that's the Christian thing to do.
Jessie, would you consider researching the Joseph Smith translation (distortions) of the Bible. I may have missed it if you have done a video on this. I need to rewatch all of your videos. I was recently disturbed to discover verses l did not know he had messed with!
I love your videos!
I also love new name noah(Mike Norton).
He can be a little blunt for some people.
I hope the people that don't like him find you. You have a different approach. Both are ok, this truth needs to be shared!
Thank you for being brave enough to share it💜

I joined the church 20 years ago, as much as i hate going to church and hate the way the people make me feel , I continue to strive in my faith because I have a testimony that it is true.
Always remember that people are imperfect. Some are weird. Some are rude. Some have personal issues.
Also, always remember that the doctrine of the church is sound. We may not get the practice right, but that doesn't make the doctrine false.
Hold tight to the rod and ignore those in the great and spacious building.
I hope you didn't swallow this Kool-aid. Jessie has been caught in changing quotes and making it seem that some opinion that was written is official doctrine. That is how good Christians are supposed to act, right?

I have been there done that. have the books so I won't be tricked again. at least not into LDS... again.
Jesus & Lucifer are not brothers. Jesus is part of the Trinity. Lucifer is an angel ( a dark evil angel as we know) who decided he wanted to be God. guess he kinda is, god of this world as he goes to & fro to seek & devour anyone he can. But when Jesus comes back Lucifer dil loose in the end. that is why he is so desperate to take as many as he can. he knows his time is short.
Anyone thinking on becoming LDS needs to Run away as fast as possible.
Jessie,wondering where I can show in the Bible regarding Everyman holding the Priesthood.
Every man.Not a singular word.Sorry.
@@elainebeard1320 In contrast to the Mormon Church's teachings, the Bible has quite different things to say about priesthood. First, the Aaronic priesthood was limited to Jewish male members from the tribe of Levi who were descendants from Aaron (Ex. 28:1; Num. 3:5-13; Heb. 7:5). The priesthood was inherited by descent from Aaron, not received through ordination. It was never supposed to be practiced by Gentiles (non-Jews). There is absolutely no teaching about this doctrine of the Aaronic priesthood being practiced by Gentiles in the Old or New Testaments.
Furthermore, the Aaronic priesthood was done away with through Christ as the final priest (Heb. 7:11-12) who fulfilled the Law as the eternal Priest (Heb. 7:11-28; 8:6-7ff). The Old Testament priests were mediators, but now Jesus is the only Mediator between men and God (1 Tim. 2:5; Heb. 7:24-25; Jn. 14:6). Therefore, there is no need for this Aaronic priesthood authority today. Finally, the High Priest in the Old Testament would enter the holy of holies once a year to make a sacrifice for sins of himself and others (Ex. 30:10; Heb. 9:7, 19-22). However, Jesus completed the work of salvation by being the High Priest and the sacrifice (Heb. 3:1; 9:11-12, 25-26)! Since Christ's work is finished (John 19:30), there is no need for a High Priest on this earth. Christ is the only mediator and High Priest in heaven (1 Tim. 2:5; Heb. 8:1-6).
Melchizedek Priesthood
Second, there is absolutely no mention in the entire Bible about a special class of Melchizedek priests. Melchizedek is mentioned briefly in the Old Testament in two places (Gen. 14:18-20 and Ps. 110:1). In Genesis 14, Melchizedek is a king and priest who blesses Abraham and to whom Abraham gives tithes. Psalm 110, a royal Messianic Psalm, applies this priesthood of Melchizedek to Jesus who is also a priest and king (cf. Matthew 22:44; 26:64; Mark 16:19; Heb. 5:5-6). However, nowhere in the Old or New Testaments do we see the practice of ordaining males to the office of the Melchizedek priesthood. Jesus alone is mentioned in the New Testament as a priest after the order of Melchizedek (Heb. 5:1-4ff).
The Priesthood of All Believers
Instead, the Bible teaches that all believers have priesthood authority (1 Peter 2:5, 9; Rev. 1:6; 5:10; 20:6). Even in the Old Testament, the nation of Israel was to be a kingdom of priests (Ex. 19:5-6). However, Jesus is the unique High Priest (Heb. 7:23-8:13). Each believer has the authority to preach the Gospel, baptize, and govern the kingdom of God on this earth. It is not something that is limited to males who are above the age of 12 or 18.
carm.org/mormonism/priesthood-authority-and-mormonism
As a baptist who studies theology for fun, I want to apologize to the entire mormonism community on our behalf. Some of these questions are genuinely worth considering. But some of these are gotcha questions that hold no ground.
@tapir rider some of these questions were worth considering like I said. That's kinda one of them. However, it's kinda silly to base whether or not you believe in a religion exclusively on archeological data.
@tapir rider I dunno. I can say similar things about the old testament
@tapir rider either way, that's something to consider. but that doesn't suddenly make the other 30 questions that were stupid suddenly valid
@tapir rider I was eating either way that the archeology thing is a genuine critique of the religion. A lot of the questions were either untrue, misinformed, outdated, or out of context. However the archaeology thing is a decent critique. So please get your panties out of a knot cuz I was agreeing with you.
@tapir rider my critique was over the overall video. Not on mormonism. So if doesn't matter if one of these questions was really good. That's twenty minutes of filler crap that makes people think untrue things about the religion. I'm fine with judging mormons but don't make up things like God had sex with Mary.
I’ll answer this one, it says he was born “at” Jerusalem which is the “land” of our fathers, it doesn’t say “in” Jerusalem. Bethlehem is very close to Jerusalem. In regards to referencing it as the land “And now as for Jerusalem-Behold this land belongs to the king” ~El Amarna tablets
So you believe the bom is historically accurate and the boa is a false translation of common Egyptian funerary papyrus?
My dear Jessie, Would you please look over
( Jeradites ) and give me your point of view!
This is interesting. I am so glad I left the LDS church almost 30 years ago...
This is my question where is America being the promise land in the bible from Genesis to Revelation, Where is America mentioned 1 time ,
James Wines, I have an answer for this question although I’m not sure how you’re going to take it. My answer for you is that the Bible takes place in the Jerusalem area of the world and is referred to as the “stick of Judah” and the book of Mormon takes place in America referred to as the “stick of Joseph.” I also want you to know that the book of Mormon is a sacred record of people in ancient America and was engraved upon metal plates. The book of Mormon talks about the “brass plates” which were brought by the people of Lehi from Jerusalem in 600 BC. These contain the “five books of Moses and also a record of the Jews from the beginning down to the commencement of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah and also the prophecies of the holy prophets” (1 Nephi 5:11-13) many quotations from these plates citing Isaiah and other biblical and non-biblical prophets appear in the Book of Mormon. Now you can believe what you wanna believe but I just want you to know that what I have said is true
You think the Bible is going to mention America by name? I think it's obvious that America has been a chosen land, but now I am worried that we are now facing God's wrath due to wickedness and corruption. Ether 2:8
@@heyman537 Not at all, God is with us, and satan is flipping out about it.

Whether or not america is the promised land, there's no reason for the bible to mention america. It wouldn't have made sense to anyone then. And saying "america is the promised land" would just lead everyone to name their place america.
Why do we see in various places the misuse of the word “ye” when a single person is being spoken to in the Book of Mormon?

VEry good video Jessie. God is going to rescue many Mormons in these last days. Most of them seem to be really nice people just deceived like the rest of us were at one time until we encountered the true Jesus.
What??? Ive never heard hardly any of this. Where did you find any of this and these questions?
That’s because the church doesn’t tell true history of itself. Maybe you should get information from sources outside the church.
Where did you come up with these brilliant questions? Are they your own?
Hey Sally! I got this specific list from a Christian source and I posted the link in the video description above! Through all of my research, I found this list to be so excellent!! I actually have compiled another list, like this one, that goes even deeper into LDS teachings and I'll share it in a future video. The list in this video mentions subjects of many of my past videos and also covers big questions that are presented in the CES letter, among other places, and I just love that. I left out a couple of the questions from my source that I didn't like but overall, I found it to be so helpful and necessarily and had to share it. 🙂
www.oneplace.com/ministries/abounding-grace/read/articles/50-questions-to-ask-mormons-13705.html
They are questions that have been around for almost as long as the LDS church has been around.
Don't forget Journal of Discourses, Vol. 7, page 289. "Only those approved by Joseph Smith shall enter into the celestial kingdom, for he holds the keys." A direct contradiction to John 14:6.
You are mixing up doctrine. Christ is the ultimate judge of every person who has ever lived on the earth because he is the one who suffered for our sins. He knows us intimately. I don't know if Journal of discourses is completely correct because it is not an official church document, but if Joseph Smith is standing at the head of the celestial Kingdom I personally will give him a hu for restoring the amazing gospel that I have today
@@misssue1824 Not mixing up doctrine, just pointing to the flawed doctrine of the Mormon Church. JS was a wolf in sheep's clothing, leading many people astray. Study your Bible, and it will shed a light on all the additional writings of men, including JS.
@@rwd2213 Do you believe in the Holy Spirit? If so, what does that Spirit do for us?
@misssue1824
But the anointing which ye have received from Him abideth in you, and ye have no need that any man teach you. But as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in Him. 1 John 2:27
@@rwd2213 Have you taken the time to actually study those additional writings and see how beautifully they mesh with and clarify the contradictions in the Bible? For example, I see people still arguing over the nature of the Trinity. I haven't met a Christian yet who can explain salvation without ignoring Mark 16:16 and all of Acts; John 6:28; 1 Cor 13:1-14; etc.
May I use your questions to my Mormon family members. No matter hard I try I think they think I am the lost one.....
My daughter tells me not to get in arguments or discussions as it only leads to hurt feelings. I do it because I fear for my loved ones. Y sister n brother in law, their 2 kids grandson and wife with soon to be new baby. That is just too many. One Mormon is too much a loss. I do get worked up
Excellent!
As a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, I am not here to quarrel amongst you, but this I will say, I too was in your shoes not believing it is true. But after feverent prayer, study and seeking the Spirit, there is this otherworldly feeling that belongs somewhere that is warm and light. No Devil can mimic this energy of how it can make me happy and join in with the fellow saints. I've cried many times reading, testifying to those it's true, I've known it and God knows it best. Joseph was definitely NOT perfect, but he was sure willing to be the Prophet of God. I hope y'all have a nice day and consider the testimony that I had spoke of.
What would you say to people from other religions who also have these warm feelings?
Some other mormon groups who are not LDS, also have them. You can't all be right.
Trust in the word of God and skip the satanic feelings...
I hear you, fellow Saint!
I caught Jessie changing words to make her arguments better and taking unofficial opinion and making them sound like doctrine. Sure, that's the Christian thing to do.
Yes. The devil can mimic that energy. I used to be in the new age and I felt that energy. I was deciceived. I would encourage you to study the Word of God. God didn’t need to create a new gospel. The gospel is the same gospel that was preached in the day of Noah. Repent of your sins and turn back to God and follow His ways.
@@cherylburnett2014 Satan cannot ever mimic that energy. Ever. Satan subs fun for joy, a mindless haze for wisdom, and babbling for the powerful but still voice. What I have is the same gospel Noah preached. It was repent and follow God. It is Christ-centered. I strive to repent daily and know God's will. I would again tell you that Jessie does not follow Eph 4:29-32. Get both sides and don't just hop on an emotional bandwagon of bashing what you don't really understand.
I love your video, I am not Mormon, but the only question I want to ask every active LDS member is if God was once a man of flesh and bone and he became God by following the ordinances of the Gospel, who wrote the Gospel? Who wrote the commandments? (considering the commandments were written thousand of years before the Book of Mormon)
So far not a single active member has been able to provide my a legitimate answer to either of those questions
Nice. I have asked them who created their god who was once a man. Nobody knows.
If you mean the 10 commandments they would say Moses wrote them. Jesus quoted the Old Testament to give the two great commandments, but later added one not found there, to love one another as I have loved you.
@@PhdAAA Moses didn't create the Ten Commandments. He translated it according to what God told him. I guess poor word choice on my part but my first question still stands....if God was once a man of flesh and bone and became "God" by following the Gospel (as the Book of Mormon states), then who created the Gospel? How can he possibly become God when in the Bible (specifically Old Testament) it states "there will be no God before or after me, I am the one and only. I am eternal". It's odd that Mormons say the Book of Mormon is more accurate than the Bible yet no archeological evidence has ever been of the Book (the Gold Plates) AND many archeologists have said civilizations during the time when Jesus visited "America" prove the Book of Mormon to be false.
@@ferg9401, are you sure archaeologists discovered proof that the Book of Mormon is false? Most people that jump to conclusions about archaeologists disproving a faith, wouldn’t have a need to ask people of that faith about their deep doctrine because they would not be open minded enough to believe in it. It wouldn’t benefit one knowing the deepest doctrine, if they aren’t willing to learn about or keep the simplest commandments, by following the example of Jesus Christ. This could also be applied to any other faith or religion.
The Book of Mormon actually doesn’t teach that doctrine, but it does hold water in modern revelation, as taught in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I imagine there are many LDS like me who know the answers to these questions you have, of where did God and the commandments come from. However, from the claims and conclusions you already made, If I gave an explanation, you would likely make fun of my beliefs (Matthew 7:6) and ultimately it wouldn’t do you any good (1 Corinthians 3:2). It just doesn’t seem like you sincerely want to know, or would be able to apply this knowledge to improve your life, if you found out. Please let me know if I’ve misread your post or misjudged what you are trying to say here about my beliefs.
Maricela daini I didn’t say archeologists have found evidence to prove the Book of Mormon to be false. I’m saying there’s a lack of evidence to proof it’s a true doctrine. Numerous archeologists have said the “historical” landmarks and tribes and people that are spoken of in the Book Of Mormon didn’t exist during the time of of the supposed person Mormon. I am less likely to believe a religious text is accurate or even real if there is lack of evidence or no evidence at all of said people and landmarks in that religious text.
As for you saying you have the answers I seek, I am genuinely curious. I’m not going to mock you but I will correct you if your answers have already been debunked by others
It’s Me Jessie: “26. Why do the Bible verses quoted in the Book of Mormon contain the italicized words from the King James Version that were added into the KJV text by the translators in the 16th and 17th centuries?” How do you know that they were added in the 16th and 17th centuries? What makes you think that they should be removed? The Book of Mormon was written in reformed Egyptian. Joseph Smith, Jr. did not write the Book of Mormon, he translated it from the plates “To come forth by the gift and power of God unto the interpretation thereof.”
Thank you
