I was a born and raised Mormon in northern Utah. I left during the end of my senior year of high school just recently. I was contemplating suicide and super depressed. But Jeff, James white, and mike wingers videos saved me. Im now going to a Baptist church and I’m tryin to reach my friends and family and take them to the true Christ of the Bible. God bless you all!
Married to a Mormon 11 years now. It’s very difficult for me. Two very different gospels, and yet my husband is so convinced that he has received his answer to prayer in his teens “is the Book of Mormon true”? His answer came from an undeniable feeling of love. It was an undeniable experience for him. When I married my husband I was very immature Christian and ignored that spiritual discernment I had because “the language was the same (kinda)” but had totally different meanings. Many years later, two small children and it’s hard for me to discern how to raise them with our two religions. Just sending a warning out to anyone who is contemplating dating a Mormon.
To: @A Sinners Journal ... the spiritual discernment that you have led you to marry the man who has the fullness of the Gospel. You need to become a Latter-day Saint. ... peace
To: @@glenmyers7019 ... I pray that you, your wife and your children, neighbors will come to a knowledge of the truth that the Church of Jesus Christ is the Church of Jesus Christ. The Church does not brainwash anyone. “Anti-Latter-day Saint critics repeatedly refer to the Church as a cult; and yet, favorably proportionate to other churches, individual cases show people who have freely and knowingly joined the Church and just as freely chosen to leave--hardly the mark of a cult” ...

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is God's and Jesus Christ one and only true church here on earth. We know and teach the Bible and gospel better than any other denomination. Join God and Jesus Christ in their Kingdom and join their true church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and learn all that they have to offer. Learn of their glory and mercy, learn of the plan they have of you.
As an atheist, I just have to say this is amazing. You have a great knowledge of not only the nonsense of Mormonism, but also really understand the gospels. I loved the video and keep it up!
I was born and raised in the Mormon faith (LDS church), I stopped going when I was 15, after having children I tried to start going, I'm I wanted to be the best parent I could to my children. Something always kept telling me to stop, so I did and I've been researching the church since.
You should be researching how to prepare your kids for the world they are going to live in. You don't have to be Mormon to see what they are doing is getting better results.
If you watch this, I'll break it down for you in two passages. Exodus 20: 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Ephesians 2: 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
And Mormons agree with both. Isn't the wife and husband one flesh? Are the husband & wife one person now? Aren't the church and Christ one? Does that mean the church is God? I'll tell you how they are one, because they have the same will & mind to work righteousness! And they all do it in Unison! Uni! One! "If ye are not one ye are not mine" he says! Let's go down aways & consider the ant and her hill, is it not counted as a Single unit? Why? Well you know the answer now. "I am the vine, ye are the branches" Just as the tree and its branches are one, so are we with him! And the ones that wither get cast into the fire. Adam & Solomon were both called a "Son of God" in Jesus's time by the Jews. But Jesus was called "The Son of Man" now "of Man" seems more important than "of God", why? Well I'll let you figure it out. The son is the seed of his father, and what do seeds grow into? Trees! "And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise." Abrahams seed=the seed of promise=the chosen seed=the elect of God. I'm saying that we are the seed, & God is the tree, & seeds grow into trees. Paul said we are children of God on Mars Hill, Acts 17:28-29; For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. John 1:12-13; But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Psalm 82:1,6--God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. 6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. Job 1:6, 2:1, 38:7; Gal. 3:26; Rom. 8:29; Eph. 1:11; 1 John 3:1-2; Luke 3:38; Heb. 2:10-11; Isaiah 45:11; Hosea 1:10, 11:10. It is all over the Bible how we are children of God. Joseph Smith taught the doctrine of the true god, the god of patience, hope, & peace. And IT IS one god that the followers of the restored gospel worship; I hope you understand.

I was a Mormon from birth. Pretty active all my life. Left 14 years ago due to exhaustion, and illness and finally realized none of them cared for me. It’s a terribly expensive club. Then, 2 years later I married an Independent Baptist and we are active in a lovely church now for 13 years. So now, for the first time in my life, I simply feel like a true Christian as that was all I ever wanted to be! The testimony that you get in the Mormon church is very much like the testimony you get over Walt Disney’s elevated emotion movies. I cried every Sunday because there’s so much talk of family & so much emotional music and The Mormon tabernacle choir giving you goosebump after goosebump & every time you hear them sing, it’s all LDS faith promotion but it’s not biblical truth. All of their faith is in “feelings,” not biblical facts. All these types of trappings are there to promote tremendous emotion and that is what becomes “your testimony” - not the simplicity of Christ as your savior - boom. End of story! There’s so much I could say but leaving the church or trying to talk a Mormon out of Mormonism is one of the hardest things on earth to do but that alone shows you right then and there how brainwashed the members have become. It’s frightening to me now. So grateful I now live for basic things Christ preached and not for the LDS club.
You are a fraud. 50 years a member and not going anywhere. This church is God's church. You play with your destiny at your own risk, lady. Your decision.
I’m sorry to hear you had a bad experience that caused you to have hurt feelings. I’ve grown up in the LDS church, and in spite of the claim to be the restored Church of Jesus Christ, where He (Jesus) is the literal head of the Church, we, his followers, have never claimed to be perfect. The early saints in the ancient church did their best, and I feel we are doing the best with our human weaknesses in the latter-days as well, but we are not immune to error. If we were a perfect people, Christ would likely have already come, as the world is already plenty wicked and in need of His return, but I believe His followers (I’m speaking not only of the LDS members, but all who claim to follow Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior) are not righteous enough to receive Him. I know I have a long way to go before I would feel worthy to stand in His presence, but am comforted by the knowledge that if I continue to try my best, repent when I fall, and endure to the end, exercising faith in His grace, that through His atoning sacrifice, I can be made worthy to stand in his presence. As far as an “expensive club”, I assume you are referring to the law of tithing, which was also part of the ancient church and so it should be part of the Lord’s true church on the earth. I absolutely think about the 10% of my income that I pay - that’s the natural man in me, but when I consider the blessings from that small sacrifice to give Him so little when He gives me everything I have, to the very breath I take, then paying my tithing is easy. And to say we are “brainwashed” is total nonsense. Nobody is forced to stay (as you yourself were once a member), and we are taught to not just blindly believe what we hear or read, but to study it out, pray about it, and then, when we receive a witness of the truth of it, we act on that witness. Anything that leads a man to do good comes from God, and that has helped guide my decisions as well. At any rate, I’m not trying to pull you back to the LDS faith, and I truly do wish you the best with your new path in life, but just wanted to respectfully disagree with some of the comments to made towards the general body of the LDS church based on maybe a more localized bad experience.
@@ACTURK61 He was not marrying women who were still married to their living husband's, he wasn't lying about it. He didn't have mother daughter combos, teenagers, and do all of this behind the back of his first wife!
Actually when I was a Mormon this was still being taught but was considered sacred knowledge only for those ready to receive higher light and knowledge. It was also taught by prophets and general authorities in general conferences for a very long time. It's still taught and believed by the most devout Mormons- who can receive "the higher truths" and not to the average Mormons or publicly (it's bad for PR and for retaining brand new converts). This is why he says Classic Mormonism, as years ago they would say this stuff publicly and to all their members. Now it's too sacred and reserved for those who have progressed enough and ready to accept it. Either way- it's still a held belief within Mormonism.
This guy comes up to me and asks me if I want to join his church and they’ll be reading the Book of Mormon. Then he asks me to read a scripture and asks me if I asked god if it’s true and I say no. He then follows to ask me if I ever plan to I say no.. he gave me so many red flags and I’m glad I didn’t join his church

@@dylanwilliams2202you basically say that the Bible that the apostles wrote and believed (plus the Old Testament) is fake but something that a man in the 20th century wrote by himself without any other collaboration is accurate? What about Peter, Paul, and all the apostles? Are you saying that they are in hell because they didn't believe in a book that came out in the 20th century? Dies any if that actually make sense when you examine it?
They visited us a couple of years ago in Namibia and we had their books throwed down the dustbins...and definitely burned down...at the dumpsite where they belong. Jesus Christ is the Way ,Truth and Life.

I went to a Mormon church for a girl one time and I was led into a young singles ministry class and they started anointing each other into the “Melchizadek” priesthood. I immediately got up and got out of there as fast as I could.
Wow- very well done! I was born in the covenant in a very devout Mormon family. I loved the Mormon church and never wanted to leave it. I was very happy but inside I felt I lacked peace and I really wanted to know God in this life instead of hoping I pleased God enough to make it. Exaltation (becoming a god) is the only way to know God in Mormonism- except there's a rare thing called having your calling and election made sure. I prayed daily and searched the scriptures daily- searching to truly know God. Long story short- God taught me to trust His word and answered all of my questions with Bible verses. God asked me to step towards Him in faith in Christ alone (which was one of the scariest things ever for me as a Mormon at the time). And God revealed himself to me through the Bible and His Spirit (which is very light, I was used to the heavy strong spirit within Mormonism). I now have peace with God- God is good. But for me, it meant leaving everything including my family but it is worth it to know Him. The only thing is even though I have this amazing peace beyond words and I have no desire to go back- I went through years of grief, similar to losing a loved one. Other Christian's had a hard time understanding this.
_"Exaltation (becoming a god) is the only way to know God in Mormonism"_ If that is what you thought then you were severely misguided and confused. You can know God before ever going through the Temple or even Baptism. _"God taught me to trust His word and answered all of my questions with Bible verses"_ I don't know what questions you had but if it is just the same old "your belief is unbiblical because of this verse I am misquoting" then I could easy answer any question you have. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is God's and Jesus Christ one and only true church here on earth. We know and teach the Bible and gospel better than any other denomination.
I'm happy for you finding the true God. I was raised Mormon too and loved it. It's so fun growing up Mormon. I found God too, gratefully and basically had to leave my family too because they're devout Mormons and even afraid of me. Praise God for leading us out of false religion!

@@jiovaani I don't know because there is no such thing as the "Mormon gospel". The gospel we teach is the same one taught by Paul. 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, Revelation 14:12) and not to purposefully sin (James 4:17) and/or repent when you have made a sinned (Acts 3:19, Acts 17:30, 2 Corinthians 7:9-10, 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, John 3:5, Acts 2:38, Acts 22:16, Romans 6:3-10, Colossians 2:12, Titus 3:5, 1 Peter 3:21), 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). That path is God’s and Jesus Christ's grace and walking on the path that was paved for us by Christ is our faith and continuing being on that path will allow their grace to increase in our life.
*I've recently met with 3 mormon chicks and we had an hour long discussion about our respective beliefs. They were really nice even if very uneducated on Biblical texts. I'm meeting with them again soon.*
So many Mormons will hear 'depart from me, I never knew you' and will cast into everlasting torment. You notice how every false gospel is about works. The true gospel is about grace through faith. Everyone wants to work their way into heaven. Jesus Christ already accomplished the work!!
Christ did not only create all things but also he created time.. the end and the beginning... written in the past tense, created. It is done he knows everything about you till ur end and he is still willing to forgive you. All this sins we did and will ever do.
I am an Ex-Mormon....I left the Mormons in 1975 and I NEVER looked back. Their doctrines turned my away and I was NOT allowed to question their teachings.... and also, the way they treated my parents was a bigger factor in my decision.
I've witnessed this , not firsthand but a close friend of mine and what they did to humiliate his mom (who was one of the sweetest people I've ever met ) turned me away thank goodness. I am saved because of Christ and what he did for me.

I am not a Mormon, but I do know, that if we read say the KJV Bible it says In the beginning God created... Mormon books say Gods. If we look at the oldest bible known, written in Hebrew, It say in the beginning Gods created... The oldest Bible uses the plural form for God. This is one of the reasons why the concept of the trinity is believed. The argument being that Gods in Genesis of the Hebrew bible is referring to the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost (remember centuries later Jesus said before Abraham, I am. Meaning he existed before him) Ultimately, no human will know who is correct, what we do know is that God only requires 3 things of us. Be Good, Do Justice and walk humbly with God (paraphrase of Micah 6.8).
1- so you read ancient Hebrew 2- I've asked many people to explain to me why it is that a version of the Christian Bible commissioned by James I/VI in 1604 is the only correct version. So far nobody has answered that. I just don't understand how a British/Scottish king paying for another English translation makes it the only valid one.

Not by any works of mine , but by the finished work of Christ Jesus on the cross. Praise His Holy name. Then Ephesians 2.10. Saved unto good works prepared before hand that we may walk in them. We do show fruit of our faith , but Christ within is the vine. We have been given a new heart . Nevertheless, it is by HIS grace we have been saved. All glory to God.

Hi there, I came at this talk after watching many LDS videos, trying to understand what they believe. I am a catholic priest myself, I loved this talk, especially about our hope and view of the future, and that is as you said, being with, being in God, that is what Christians believe. After examening the LDS faith, recognizing many good mormons, I have to conclude that their faith is abolishing God, but also humankind. For them, God, angels and humans are of the same species, that of spirit beings, different only becsuse of the stage they are in... That's really different from christianity..
If your Church/Cathedral teaches anything that is NOT Biblical never trust it. They may not do it with content but deny all that isn’t Biblical. 1. Mary never asked to be prayed to AT ALL, neither did she say that she was an interceder. She is a human and cannot hear prayers, only God should be praised. No where in scripture does it say that Mary will pray for you that idea is man made. “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5) 2. We are not to make any graven images and DEFINITELY NOT bow down to them. “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;” (Exodus 20:4-5) “I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.” (Isaiah 42:8) 3. We are not to call any teacher father except for our Father in heaven, it is prohibited in the scriptures. “And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.” (Matthew 23:9) 4. The rosary is not Biblical at all 5. We are not saved by works! “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) Open your eyes and get out of tradition. Anything that is not Biblical is false, as well as even many of the so called “Christian” holidays celebrated today, they have pagan origin.
Vey true, Mormonism is a pagan religion, they do not follow the bible, their doctrine is made up and false, i know, I am now a Christian and I was a Mormon.
He didn't though. You just mask, conceal and water things down until people are deep into the cult. That's when the pseudoscientific racial ideologies and secret temple masonic handshakes start coming out.
John 1 1 In the beginning was the Word (Jesus), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 14 And the Word (Jesus born in Bethlehem) was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. @@billgamelson9964
I love the description of the Calvinist/Evangelical Jesus Christ here. It’s so meaningful and beautiful to me. I can’t say the same for the description of the Mormon Jesus. I’m Mormon too
This is spot on. I remember when I was a latter-day Saint for 26 years reading the king Follett discourse. What he is saying is 100% true. Mormons say the same 5 things Lucifer said in his heart in Isaiah 14:12-15. They also 100% deny the trinity. They believe Elohim is someone else besides Yahweh (Jehovah) and they are polytheists. I had one commenter on a video I posted who is a Mormon telling me that the godhead is composed of three distinctly separate Gods. Latter-day Saints do not believe in the same Jesus that mainstream Christians embrace.
Thank you for taking time to tell us what we are commanded by your cult to believe. I think I will watch general conference instead of believing you. Thank you just the same.
Where does this kind of screwy idea come from? Can't touch Jesus? Mon oeil! Between the disaffected and the antis I have read more BS and excuses in the last couple of weeks than I have run across in the 60 years since my mission. Jesus promised he would send some to declare repentance and redemption. Redemption has been declared by the faithful since Adam, Abraham, Moses, Peter, Paul, some popes, Luther, King James, today's Christians, etc. Atonement, presented by William Tyndale, means "be at one with Him". Hold on tight!
My wife is an Ex-Mormon. Mormons are forbidden to discuss Anointing ceremonies prescribed by Creepy Joseph Smith, Jr. Mormons are forbidden to discuss these, even among spouses. They are changed these ceremonies after word spread about their creepiness. My wife was stripped naked during the pre-1990 anointing ceremonies and had a stranger anoint her genitals with olive oil. She began to question if these " most perfect" ceremonies were ordained by God, why did the Mormons change them in response to their Perverse nature? Also, the ceremonies performed inside the temple are stolen from Masonic rituals; Smith was a Freemason until expelled for immoral acts.
Typical Occult Mormon response. If it is untrue, give a details...You can't, because they are true. Unfortunate situation for the Mormon cult. They can no longer hide their creepy rituals and constantly changing " perfect religion" .
@@hollayevladimiroff131 Pre-1990 reforms...as the creepy rituals become known outside the cult, the Mormon god decides to instruct rituals be cleaned up. That is what happened in 1990. Imagine being led into the temple completely unaware of the oaths and ceremonies you have to pledge allegiance to.

Stick to the Biblical Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ said that he and God are two separate men, "It is written in your Law that the testimony of two men is true. I am one who witnesses of myself, and my Father who sent me, witnesses of me." Two men, Jesus Christ is one and God is the second. This alone destroys the man made Trinity. But it is not all. We are told it is impossible for God to lie, and God said many times that there is only one God. But this God who cannot lie also called men who had received his word gods, who if they weren't gods before, as soon as God spoke it into existence it was true. And Jesus Christ confirmed it to be true when he said "If he called them gods unto whom the word came, and the scripture cannot be broken, then why say ye that I blaspheme because I said I am the Son Of God?" So how can men be gods and there be only one God? Would not one or the other have to be a lie? Not if the term God is plural, covering multiple generations. Is it strange that only one church teaches what it actually says in the Bible? One way, one truth, one life. No it is not strange.
@Alex Diaz If you're studying the word of God (holy Bible) every day, you're on the right track. Look for a church (not denomination) that teaches only the Bible and has a strong community. My church has several bible studies each week that draws up to 30 people hungry for the truth of the word of God. Mormonism has no truth whatsoever. It came about by a man who came 1800 years after Christ and basically said everything Christians believe is wrong. If you study Joseph Smith's history, you can see that he was not a man of God.
@@dylanwilliams2202 no your church is not. A new testament from the last of Jesus . No the whole book of Mormon make no sense at all. Joseph Smith did a number on that one such a carn artist.

Not 8nba church for we are the church of Christ all true believers. A building doesn't save you. But faith and the commandments that were instructed to us. We are not gods never will be.
@@bartonbagnes4605 you just don't get it.. you still think God is like us. Do you even understand his power.. you don't get he 8s God Jesus 8s his word and the holy spirit is the connection you have with the creator as when Jesus got baptized the white dove resembles the holy spirit which 8s received after you been baptized and repent from sin and go out and preach the word of the gospel. You spend more time trying to pick it apart than reading it.. no matter what you think say feel does not matter for it 8s written and so it will be.. so you not a follower at all not to take the word of God as law and not question it but except it as it is for he is the creator not you.
If the goal of following the Christian life is to become gods ourselves, then the God of this world would have to be rather petty to not allow us to "be like God" in eating of the fruit of the tree in Eden. I also like the point that getting to Heaven is not the goal of ancient preaching, but of getting to God... however, I'd suggest that one equals the other: getting to God IS the definition of Heaven.
Be cautious thinking you are the ultimate source of truth, wisdom or knowledge and that you are the ultimate authority on the interpretation of scripture. The most important thing is to secure and defend religious freedom for all. If so many of these preachers focused on defending upright values and religious freedom, and most especially actually trying to alleviate true suffering in this world, instead of telling people where they are wrong, this world would be a better place.
This is a valid point. I do think pointing out error when we believe there is error isn't a bad thing. But when ones whole mission is to do so, that is off the higher path you pointed to.
@@ShareseVHatch Thank you for the respect. This comes from a good place and with respect - in your comment "pointing out error when we 'believe' there is error" could likely be on shaky ground. We are not the authority. We need to allow God to sort out what is right and wrong. Our job is to peacefully defend religious freedom and upright values.

If you procrastinate the day of your repentence, you are sealed to the devil according to Alma 34:31-36. Just to be clear, to repent is to forsake ALL sin: never sin again.
So, they want to be gods, and be like God. Wasn't Lucifer cast out of heaven for attempting to exalt himself over God? If God didn't approve of Lucifer attempting to be God, why do the Mormons believe He's okay with them doing the exact same thing!?!🙄 "For you have said in your heart: 'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High”' (Isaiah 14:12-14)
Question: Is understanding the true and pure nature of Jesus essential for salvation before accepting him as our lord and savior? If yes: then if we misunderstand even a small aspect of a Christ, are we not saved then? It seems like you are suggesting salvation is found in scripture study and theological understanding instead of seeking and accepting Christ. Is a Christian that is young in the faith dies while believing God has a physical body damned? If no: then, what is the problem with Mormons believing in a different view of Jesus?
I've come across this thought in my head, we must keep moving and strive for the kingdom so when we see others held back at points whether it mormonism, catholicism or drug abuse we must correct and prod them towards the correct target so they don't remain and shoot arrows astray. If you can think about understanding people in this position and want to ask what's wrong with that then you must just as easily be able to understand and say that those who chose to correct are doing nothing wrong either, correct?
@@AnthonyPearson4JesusofNazareth there is a difference between being a drug addict who likely knows what they are doing is wrong, and being a Christian that loves God and is seeking to do good, but hasn’t found the truth.
@@andthusitis3178 yes and there is also a difference between two people that love Jesus but one willing to go further and the other choosing to stay in comfort
@@AnthonyPearson4JesusofNazareth What if someone is seeking truth and feels strongly that the Bible teaches Christ and God the father are seperate? They go to hell because theologically they do not understand scripture? Salvation comes by being theologically correct, not by accepting Christ. Or say someone is just confused by it all, but is still deeply concerned about salvation so he prays and says “Christ, whatever form you are, O accept thee” and continues on his journey in trying to figure it out, but never quite does come to the trinity conclusion.
What did every monotheistic Jew believe? Deut. 6:4, "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one." What does the first commandment say? Thou shalt have no other gods before me. What does the Book of Mormon say about God having a body of flesh and bones? Nothing. What does the Bible say about God having a body of flesh and bones? Nothing. What does the Book of Mormon say about God used to be a man? Nothing. What does the Bible say about God used to be a man? Nothing? What does the Book of Mormon say about we can become gods? Nothing. What does the Bible say about we can become gods? Nothing. God gave us His word in order that we could know Him so it's not His fault if someone's stubborness causes them to fall. Christians are evangelizing Mormons with love and trying to show them the deception but they choose to believe a man with a shady past who came long 2000 years later and said everything in the bible was wrong, the churches were wrong, their professors were wrong and God was wrong because He said He has always existed and there are no other Gods before or after Him. No... we can't blame it on God. God is holy and in His sight, none are good: Romans 3:10-12 10 as it is written, “There is none righteous, not even one; 11 There is none who understands, There is none who seeks for God; 12 All have turned aside, together they have become useless; There is none who does good, There is not even one.” God wants us to seek for Him in His word and not the words of a false prophet.
Thanks for sharing, I’d like to share my own opinion..my question is after you apply the gospel and the teachings of Jesus Christ is that it? It seems to me the natural law would be to further your spiritual being after this life. Who knows what is planned for us after we die.. I don’t think we sit around in heaven in eternal comfort… why would it end there?maybe we do continue to grow and create more life… I’m not a Mormon but I have been reading the Bible and Book of Mormon… but I don’t understand why people are so harsh on this religion… it does far more good then harm… and that where I am split.. because in the bible it says by their fruits ye shall know them.
Heaven is the promise of the eternal presence of God, no man could achieve greater happiness than in heaven where Christ is and loves. There’s nothing boring about that the Bible describes it as things the ears have not heard and the eyes have not seen, it’s like our senses will be renewed and more. You’d have to presume that you know what it’s going on to call it semi boring or call it as the end, it’s the beginning of the promised love and peace in Jesus Christ. Mormonism is false because of it’s obvious intent which is to make Jesus Christ lesser than what the Bible professed. To become a god is the ultimate goal, sounds like what the Bible described to be Satan’s great sin; wanting to be god. And it deviates away from the one truth, as Jesus Christ said that He is THE way, THE truth and THE life and that no one comes to the Father except through Him (Jesus Christ) Seems to me Mormonism is something Satan would use to deviate people away from the truth, it’s just false enough that the core doctrines of Christianity are rejected; and still is able to use the name of Jesus Christ to hide the nature of its creation. Plus Mormonism says people are black if they were neutral angels when Satan and Jesus disagreed in heaven, like what?? And that those who are white it’s because they valiantly stood by God 💀 yeahhh no racial motive from Joseph smith huh? Funny enough the writers of the New Testament didn’t think Jesus’s skin colour as of importance and therefor didn’t mention it. Yet of course what you’d expect was made up by a man or corrupted by the devil takes a spin of that nature.
That is my thoughts also. If Jesus is our perfect example would the goal not be to become like him in the after life and continue our growth. Just like the bible says judge them by the fruits they bear and from my experience tge Mormon’s are very good people.
I'm reading a book by Hinslop from the 1830s detailing paganism, catholics and their relation to primeval religion of all religions from babylons. There are a few passages about holy pagan garments. I immediately thought of the mormon holy underwear, founded about after the time the book was first written. This was something that interested me about interconnection of mythologies. The insights of this book has me looking up recently in various religions, the idea of sanctifying water and fire. I found ample evidence of water in Islam. I wonder if such things are present in mormonism, a newer false religion? Like holy garments that you have to wear and be hopefully buried with.
from the oldest religions of Mesopotamia and Africa, water and fire are present as the primitive "gods" (chaos) and (creation), judaism -> christianity came from an even older faith following the God described with no name and (no english word for this) zero+many face/s - that is why in the first 5 books God is always described as having a no name (i am who am) that no humans can speak, and (panim) zero+many face/s
@@petrolmonkey4228 absolutely wrong about judeochristianity. There was no chaos in that. It was creation from nothing and he was above it, hence, I am, meaning he had no beginning and not present in natural forces like the gods worshipped at the time. This point is hammered in consistently, you shall no idols of me. I am not in the forces of nature, I create them. I am is a name, only it shall be holy and conserved to him alone. Never says him having many faces. addding, destruction of the world by flood is recorded all over the globe, and his version says he will never do it again. There is no special reverence for fire...although the world at end will be destroyed in fire.
@@petrolmonkey4228 " that is why in the first 5 books God is always described as having a no name (i am who am) that no humans can speak, and (panim) zero+many face/s " Who is YHWH in Exodus 3:15 in the original Hebrew text? God told Moses to tell the Israeiltes that, YHWH, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, sent him and that YHWH is His name forever.
The MAJOR difference is that Jesus is the fulfillment of things prophecied and promised in the Old Testament. The LDS view of the gospel is a complete hijacking and deviation from what the Old and New Testament actually say.
Correction to one of the verses you put up, it should actually be noted as John 1:18, not John 1:2-3. Just thought I'd point that out. 😉 John 1:18 "No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known."
that’s right, Jesus said that in John chapter 10 and he quoted that in Psalms 82, which if you read it in context the gods mention in Psalms were sinners. The God (capital “G”) is holy and not sinners like what Jesus quoted. brother pls don’t take that literally. God bless you
@@CommandoJenkins no it doesn’t. Have you ever read it? Lol. Jesus literally used it in the context of being equal to god. When he was rebuked for making himself like god, he said ye are all gods. This is because the trinity isn’t god it is salvation. The ultimate goal is to become one with God by participating in the Trinity through the Holy Spirit dwelling within us.
Hi Jeff! I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. You said that we believe that God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Ghost are 3 distinct and seperate individuals. You are correct! Who else would Jesus have been praying to in the Garden of Gethsemane if it wasn't to God the Father? Who else besides God the Father would have announced, "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased" when Jesus was baptized by John? It makes absolute sense to me that Jesus wouldn't pray to himself nor make a verbal pronouncement when he was baptized. To all who read this...think about it. It makes complete sense that the members of the Godhead are seperate and distinct individuals.
Yes Jesus was praying to his father and Jesus is the son but those are simply roles. Each person of the trinity has distinct roles but share the same divine nature. God the father isn’t the son, the son isn’t the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit isn’t the father they are not three separate gods but are united in one divine essence. Just like our spirit, body, and soul are not the same thing but it all lives inside ONE person.
@@kimberlyrayo953 Kimberly, please know that I am not trying to be a jerk when I say this. But think about it. Why would they all inhabit one body? In our day we would call that a split personality and is something undesirable. If you read the Synoptic Gospels and the book of John and take what Jesus says at face value, it becomes clear that they are one in purpose…but each of them are individual entities. This is my last comment concerning this. I hope that I have given you food for thought. You certainly don’t have to believe as I do. Thanks for your reply! 👍
What the hell does that have to do with anything? KJV? Really? That's your freaking apologetic?! Shit dude the bigger issue is that you read and believe and follow the Book of Mormon. Supposedly a function of a divine appointment with the angel Moroni in a secret cave with special tablets that nobody else saw using special glasses that nobody else saw. Smdh. 🤦🏻♂️
What a shame we don’t show more of the Saviour’s qualities in our dealings with one another 😢 Instead of being divisive, would it not be wonderful if we could LIVE what Jesus called the first and second commandments? Matthew 22:37, 38 and 39 . Let us rather focus on and spread love. GOD Is LOVE. I am sure that is how the Saviour will judge us. He loves all His Children and expect the same from us.
“I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.” -Revelations 22:18-19
Thats just talking about the book of revelation. To not add anything to that spicific book not about having more books. I get your point, but if you want to witness to mormons don't use that verse for proof on why the cannon is close.
The Book of Revelation was written before many of the other books in the Bible. John himself "added" to his words by writing other epistles/books after. The reason it was determined to be placed at the end was because it deals with the end times more than any other book. Logically it makes sense to put it at the end. However, my belief, and I know most on here will disagree, was that John was speaking of his own revelation, that specific prophecy, the "prophecy of THIS book" when he uttered those words. The Bible was not yet compiled at that time. I understand many do not believe that but that is what I believe.
@@bigtobacco1098 What is historically indefensible? The book of John was written around 100 AD. The book of Revelations was written around 95 AD (or so historians believe).
You seem to have researched LDS doctrine. Well done. However, your research appears incomplete in missing they key. I didn't hear you refer to praying to confirm the findings of your research. Love the plurality of God's thing. As I understand it the Torah, which "predates" any of what you referred to, in the first few lines talks of that plurality; Heavenly Father, The Holy Spirit & Jesus. And if we are created in His image why shouldn't God have a Mum and Dad? Only using the logic He gave me backed up with prayer. The essence of the Christian message is an eternal concept. Never ends, never has a beginning - a brilliant thing to get your mind round! Lastly, why to on the tube and appear to be arguing
@@abielferrin913 Time did not always exist. God is eternal. God has always existed. No one created God. If there were ever a time when there was absolutely nothing there would still be nothing. God is the first, uncaused cause of everything you see. Mormonism teaches an infinite regression of causes, which isn't logically possible. It's one of many reasons they are laughed at.
He shouldn't have a mom or dad because He's GOD and it's not in the Bible. End of story. If you say otherwise you preach a different gospel and will be accursed
The way all questions are resolved is not by looking up to men, it's by praying up to God who knows all things and can explain all things!! I don't listen to these preachings, they are of there own discernment!!!! I am a Mormon by conversion, i converted from baptism and I asked all the right questions to the missionaries and I was told that after, I needed to pray and ask God for myself, if what I had heard is true and I testify that they are because of the joy and relief I felt when they had tought me the plan of salvation it was beautiful and I felt the holy spirit of God come upon me and I felt joy and happiness 😊 I wish all and hope many to come unto the church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints!!!
"And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophecy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins." 2Nephi 25:26
Does anyone know who the speaker here is? He is very good at explaining things, I would like to hear more from him. I am Christian and I have known for a number of years that mormons are NOT Christians at all.
Im mormon and this is just my opinion he wants us become like him so to what degree become like him? Just a servant or just praising him forever, or will god in the next life give u responsabilities thing for u to do, to grow not just praising him for trillions of years not growing learning becoming something more then who u are like jesus and heavenly father, i thonk if u were with jesus and heavely father u would grow more and learn. Thats just my opinion. Peace be with u all.
In LDS doctrines, God learns, but in the Bible, God doesn't change in Malachi 3:6. Joseph Smith refuted God who was God from all eternity which is idolatry. Peace be with you too.
@LUKETHELOG Will you go to Heaven when you die? Have you lied, stolen used God's name in vain, or lusted {Which Jesus said was adultery, Mt. 5:28}? if so, God sees you as a liar, thief, blasphemer, and adulterer at heart. If you die in your sins, you will end up in a terrible place called Hell. But there's good news. Though we broke God's Law, Jesus paid the fine by dying on the cross: "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life" {John. 3:16}. Then Jesus rose from the dead and was seen by hundreds of eyewitnesses. He fulfilled all the prophecies of the promised Savior. Be intelligent: repent and trust Jesus today, and god will forgive you and grant you the gift of eternal life {Ephesians 2:8,9} Then, to show your gratitude, read the Bible daily and obey it, join a Christian church, and be baptized.
The Apostles shared ONE baptism and ONE faith. Because of Luther there are now over 47,000 contradicting sects. Mormonism has an invalid baptism and believe in multiple Gods and are a pseudo-Christian sect.
John 1:12 But to all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God, The Him in that verse is Jesus and the Mormon Jesus is not the biblical Jesus. If you love Jesus, why not come to the true Jesus?
Matt. 7:13 -- Enter through the narrow gate, because the gate is wide & the way is spacious that leads to destruction, & there are many who enter through it.
Bill Williams " 284 temples and 17 million members. Good luck but nothing can stop the Lord’s work. " Listen to Kevin 1066 because he knows that Scripture says, "MANY will find that wide path that leads to destruction." There was only ever one temple in the Old Testament and there was only one person, the High Priest chosen by God, that was allowed inside the Holy of Holies one day per year on the day of atonement to offer blood sacrifices for God's chosen people. No one else was allowed inside and no dead were baptized because baptism didn't exist and, according to Scripture, we die once and are judged upon death. That was the Old Covenant of the Law given to the people. Christians are not under the Old Covenant because we are not Jews being led out of Egypt thousands of years ago. Christians are under the New Covenant of Grace that was promised by YHWH in Jeremiah, chapter 31, verses 31-34. Jeremiah 31:31-34 31 “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a NEW COVENANT with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32 NOT LIKE THE COVENANT I MADE WITH THEIR FATHERS on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, MY COVENANT THAT THEY BROKE, though I was their husband, declares the Lord. 33 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I WILL PUT MY LAW WITHIN THEM, and I WILL WRITE IT ON THEIR HEARTS. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34 And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I WILL FORGIVE THEIR INIQUITY, and I WILL REMEMBER THEIR SIN NO MORE.” There is no New Testament temple. The veil that separated the Holy of Holies from the rest of the temple when Christ gave up His spirit was torn from top to bottom, signifying that we no longer needed priests to stand before God. Jesus is now our only great high priest and our way to God. God used the Romans to destroy the temple in 70 AD because priests and temples were no longer needed. You don’t need Mormonism, you don’t need a religion, you don’t need a church to be saved. All you need is a relationship with Jesus Christ and you only need faith in what He’s done for you. He did all the work that you are trying to do.

The greatest testimony I have read about Jesus Christ is the testimony Abindadi gives to the priests of Noah in the book of Mosiah. It connected the Law of Moses to the coming of the Messiah, and explained how redemption can only come through Jesus Christ. It impacted me in a way I have not previously known. I am so grateful that this story in the Book of Mormon caused me to believe in the Bible and most importantly, in the absolute power of our Savior Jesus Christ, for "He is mighty to save." Without this story in the Book of Mormon, I would still not even believe in the Bible. The power of that record is going to change the world.
There is no greater testimony of Jesus Christ outside the Bible. The Bible IS the word of God. It makes no sense to find a bigger testimony about Jesus in a book that isnt the word of God
@@sebastianperez8140 I know the Bible is the word of God, and I know this, because of the power the Book of Mormon had on me to soften my heart to accept God‘s word. There is no way you can believe the Book of Mormon, and not believe the Bible. In fact, Nephi gives a strong condemnation of those who have received this word, and aren’t thankful to the Jews for the record they gave us. Now, I know that I am saved from physical and spiritual death. It is a marvelous wonder, and it is only possibly through Christ; there is no other way.
The King Follette discourse is a second-hand accout of a speech given by Joseph Smith during a funeral. The accuracy of the account cannot be verified. The discourse was not given in an official church meeting or given as an official revelation and as such is NOT considered official LDS church doctrine but rather, personal opinion. If you want to know what the LDS people believe then stick to the "Standard Works" and the official words of the Prophets. That being said, the original Hebrew text of Genesis 1 does use the word "Elohim" which is a plural word meaning "Gods", just like Joseph Smith is reported to have said. So the account given in the LDS scriptures is accurate and true to the original Hebrew text. The "Gods" being referred to are the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
*djadams, when it comes to Mormon beliefs... what is the "final authority" on what MORMONS ACTUALLY BELIEVE? Is the "final authority" The Book of Mormon? Or... is the "final authority" the Holy Bible? Just curious. Respectfully yours. -Matthew Clay*@@djadams7795

The strange thing is that most of the "Christians" still believes that the paper form of the "Bible" is the word of GOD. Those who have had the Privilege of being introduced to JESUS one on one knows that the "Bible" is not the "WORD" of GOD. It is about the "WORD" of GOD. It says "In The Beginning Was The WORD" then it says "And The WORD Became Flesh and Dwelt Amongst Us" so everything in the "Bible" Old Testament was a historical foretelling of the "WORD" and the New Testament was a Diary of the physical birth, life, death, resurrection and after effects of the "WORD" of GOD.
I've been noticing that many people have actually made the Bible an idol of sorts, by rejecting the reality and tangibility of YHWH. Honestly I have been very surprised by believers that have been sincerely offended at the notion. They know about Him, but stop at the possibility of actually knowing Him.
@@TexasBig You do realize that this was a second letter written to Timothy not to us the reader, right . . . There is a difference between Scripture and The WORD Of GOD. JESUS is the WORD of GOD and the Scriptures are books written about the WORD of GOD. When we make the WORD of GOD into a book he becomes less real to us. That is why lots of people have a Bible but never read it. It just sits there and collects dust. The WORD of GOD on the other hand is a living breathing entity that walks amongst us every day.
@@anar3602 Yes, it is easy to know the Scripture without knowing the WORD of GOD. I ask this all of the time and get varied answers. Is is better to be a believer in Christ or for Christ to make a believer out of you. . . There is a lot that say To Believe and I say Peter Believed in Christ but denied him 3 times, Judas Believed in Christ but sold him out for 30 pieces of silver, Thomas was standing right next to Christ and doubted that Christ was there talking to him. Paul on the other hand wasn't a believer but Christ made a believer out of him on the Road to Damascus. When Christ introduces himself to us we will know it is truly him. Many Shall Come But Only A Few Will Be Chosen. . .
Sorry man reading from your comment just asking are you Christian? I’m not trying to attack you or judge by reading the comments we need the Bible it’s through that we know the scriptures and how we hear and know About God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit and everything else in the word.
I heard almost nothing that accurately expressed the accepted doctrines of the mormon faith, certainly little that matches my understanding as an individual member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We believe that we can return to live with God only through the name of Jesus, and only by His grace. Admittedly, many in the church have placed too strong an emphasis on our works to our detriment - but that is not our doctrine. Many of us don't understand grace. And fair enough, it's a hard thing to define. We believe that His atonement gives us grace to overcome our weaknesses. It is not held that Jesus was a polygamist. The focus of our worship is on Christ and following His gospel: faith, repentance, baptism, receiving the Holy Spirit. We don't walk around talking about how we can become Gods, our focus is on following Christ's teachings from the Bible, the Book of Mormon and modern prophets. But I must admit I'm confused why other Christians are so appalled by the theological conclusion that we can become as God is. He asked us to call Him father, it stands to reason that he wants us to inherit all that He has. Revelations 3:21 says "to Him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne." If we overcome and sit with Jesus in His throne, are we not also Gods? There is much more support had in the Bible for this conclusion that I don't have time to get into. We believe that God is still a God of miracles, and gives revelations to man on Earth through a prophet including things like a deeper understanding of His nature and our potential as human beings beyond that state explicitly in the Bible. Anyway, I'm done here but we believe in the Jesus of the Bible, that book informs our understanding of who He is more than any other.

The true and living God offers forgiveness of sins, salvation, eternal life, and exaltation for free if you are interested. That is how much God loves you. ❤️
@@Elizabeth-rk3doexactly. Grace and mercy are given, not earned. As we get closer to God we naturally do good deeds because we are closer to God and love pours out of us. Christians don't do good deeds to try and earn their salvation, which isn't even possible.
You all have incorrectly represented us. I’m an Active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and you have spoke so ill. I’m just a father who loves his family and God.

LOTS of defensive Mormons here, many asking "why are you criticizing us and seeking to divide us?", as if they are saying they are similar to we evangelicals, that we are all equal members of one body. So... honest question to those Mormons: do you truly believe that we are just fine in our faith, and that we do not need the Book of Mormon; that we have sufficient knowledge and practice to be full participants in the heavenly communion? I know for certain you do NOT believe that at all.
It's not about you, me, or anyone's opinion. The Truth will stand any scrutiny or criticism. It's about Jesus and redemption from his death and resurrection. In the end, nothing else matters.
Is that what mormonism is hanging its hat on now? A precolombian archeological site with NOTHING remotely Jewish or Israeli in it? LMAO. Being an LDS archeologist is like being a Harry Potter historian. I dare the LDS church to state that this is the tomb of ancient Jewish settlers definitively and defend that.
I had an apocalyptic dream/vision last year that involved the Mormons if anybody is interested…and no this is not an exaggerated description of what I saw nor am I telling this with any agenda other than to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ. My dream started with me walking around in a mall and there were some missionaries that came up to me and I didn’t think anything of it cuz I’ve encountered them a lot in real life before, but remember this is a dream lol. They began to tell me that they were building ships so that they could go to the planet God prepared for them and they invited me to go. I found it weird because 1. I’ve already learned about Mormonism and don’t agree with it and 2. Why were they trying to leave all of a sudden now? Anyway, I told them nah I’m good I got my family I gotta be there for. My dream shifted (as dreams do randomly) and now I was with my family in a house in top of a high hill that was more of just a huge rock the size of a hill. The sky turned dark grey and black, there was lightning and loud thunder, in the distance I could see different cities with their buildings poking out of the skyline and as I was looking, giant balls of fire the size of small towns began raining down on the cities. I could hear deep, agonizing screams that sounded like demons and then in the bursts of light that came with the balls of fire, I could see the demons silhouette along with minor details like dark, spiky/scaly skin with large claw/like hands. There were all different sizes of them. Some were HUGE and some were tiny. Kinda like they had ranks. After I saw that, I saw a light in the sky in my peripheral view so when I looked, I saw the ships of the Mormons attempting to leave Earth. Right when I saw them, my stomach dropped because at the same time, the Lord told me, “they will perish along with the false prophet they chose to follow instead of following me.” and then BOOM! Fire balls/meteors just came raining down on the ships and completely obliterating them. But the fire kept on raining and it was hitting everywhere except the house on the rock that me and my family were in. I remember my family was scared so we all gather inside in the living room but we could still see outside. As I began praying over my nephew Rocky, the clouds began to open up with a bright light breaking through them. There were very bright orbs like blue, green, yellow, orange, and I just remember them kinda shooting off in different directions from the sky. Some started coming out way but nobody was afraid of them and after all I could see was white, I woke up and I wrote all of it down. I still have the notebook I wrote it in along with the dream I had about being Paul when he got bit by a snake before I had even heard about that story let alone read it. I just wanted to share that dream since that’s the topic of this video/sermon and I’d like to hear what people have to say about it or if you’ve ever had a prophetic dream from the Lord before. I’ve never told anyone about this one specifically yet but I felt like this was a good place to do so
I think it’s so pointless that people argue on these things. If you are Mormon or not Mormon it doesn’t matter what matters is that you believe in Jesus Christ and what he did for you on the cross. If your Mormon and believe this, and you die and Jesus comes to you and says “what you have been taught is false I ask you to set it aside, then they will set it aside because they now know they truth. Same for non Mormons/other Christian’s, if after death Jesus comes to them and says, the Mormons were right, eternal progression is real and you really can become a God, then if they truly believe In Jesus they will fully accept that new truth now revealed to them. The devil wants us to waste our time tearing each other apart over these things. Just focus on being a good person that’s what you need to focus on
The apostles died horrific deaths for the sake of the truth of the gospel. We are to defend the truth of the gospel, and not exchange it for lies. If you are not on fire for God, you must be lukewarm.
Tell me you don't know anything about the Fully Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ without telling me you don't know anything about the Fully Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ
Eh, he got some things wrong and other things right. It's a given when a stranger doesn't fully study a subject matter. The one thing that threw me off was that Jesus was polygamous. What? He didn't marry anyone, or at least that's not mentioned anywhere. I've never heard anybody in the church say that. The default conclusion is that he was a virgin when he died.
Gabriel Jensen " Tell me you don't know anything about the Fully Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ without telling me you don't know anything about the Fully Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ " Someone who believes in the need of a "restored" gospel is biblically illiterate. Did God lie about protecting His Word and His church or was He just incompetent? Romans 1:18-25 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 CLAIMING TO BE WISE, THEY BECAME FOOLS, 23 AND EXCHANGED THE GLORY OF THE IMMORTAL GOD FOR IMAGES RESEMBLING MORTAL MAN and birds and animals and creeping things. 24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 BECAUSE THEY EXCHANGED THE TRUTH ABOUT GOD FOR A LIE AND WORSHIPED AND SERVED THE CREATURE RATHER THAN THE CREATOR, who is blessed forever! Amen.
@@abielferrin913 " It's a given when a stranger doesn't fully study a subject matter. The one thing that threw me off was that Jesus was polygamous. What? " According to one of one of the elders of your religious system, Jesus was married and a polygamist. Prophets of God cannot lie, something that would expose them as a false prophet. Apostle Orson Pratt, says in The Seer, page 172, says, “…the great Messiah who was the founder of the Christian religion was a Polygamist…the Messiah chose to take upon himself his seed; and by marrying many honorable wives himself, show to all future generations that he approved the plurality of Wives under Christian dispensation… The son followed the example of his Father, and became the great Bridegroom to whom kings’ daughters and many of the honorable Wives were to be married. We have also proved that both God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ inherit their wives in eternity as well as in time….” In answer to the question “Was Jesus married?” Joseph Fielding Smith, who was the president of the LDS Church in the 1970’s, said, “Yes, but do not throw pearls to the swine!” We can clearly see that the LDS church still believes that Jesus was married, but doesn’t want to “throw pearls to the swine” in other words, to reveal this to non-Mormons. Maybe the Mormon Jesus was a polygamist but he's definitely not Jesus of the Bible. Jesus of the LDS Church is not Jesus of the Bible. God of the LDS Church is not God of the Bible. Joseph Smith said that there is “A GOD ABOVE THE FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST…” In Mormon Doctrine, pages 322, we read, …If Jesus Christ was the Son of God, and… God the Father of Jesus Christ had a Father, you may suppose that he had a Father also. Where was there ever a son without a father? …Hence if Jesus had a Father, can we not believe that he had a Father also?” In 1844, Joseph Smith, as recorded in the Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pp. 344-347, first told the audience that: “…every man has a natural, and, in our country, a constitutional right to be a FALSE PROPHET, as well as a true one…” Then on the next page, he says: “I am going to tell you how God came to be God. We have imagined and supposed that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea and take away the veil, so that you may see.” He explains that “…God himself was once as we are now…and you got to learn how to be Gods yourselves… the same as all Gods have done before you. An infinite regression of prior causes would mean there is an infinite regression of uncaused causes, which is logically impossible. The God of the Bible says: “…Is there a God beside me? Yea, there is no God; I KNOW NOT ANY.” (Isa. 44:8) If God had a father and he had a father and so on, the God of the Bible surely would know that! In the Bible, God calls us to know, to believe and to understand who He is. God says: “Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may KNOW and BELIEVE me, and UNDERSTAND that I am he: BEFORE ME THERE WAS NO GOD FORMED, NEITHER SHALL THERE BE AFTER ME.” (Isa. 43:10) To Joseph Smith and to all Mormons, that simply means THEY WILL NOT BECOME GODS! They cannot “learn” how to become gods! God of the Bible says so! God says, “I AM THE LORD, AND THERE IS NONE ELSE, THERE IS NO GOD BESIDE ME…” (Isa. 45:5) God tells what happens to the false prophets who try to lead people after other gods: “If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou has not known, and let us serve them; thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or the dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. AND THAT PROPHET, OR THAT DREAMER OF DREAMS, SHALL BE PUT TO DEATH; BECAUSE HE HAD SPOKEN TO TURN YOU AWAY FROM THE LORD YOUR GOD…” (Deut. 13:1-5) It is interesting to note that within weeks after Joseph Smith had in April 1844 preached this sermon that men will and can become gods and that God was not God from all eternity, Joseph was killed! Coincidence?
Say what you will, but God sent his spirit to convince me that he lives and stir me to a remembrance of him. I actually remembered his spirit. That's how I know it is true. The spirit also showed me that the Missionaries are his acceptable laborers, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is true.

I just married a mormon... I don't know what to do
You've been led astray by the doctrines of men. Choices have consequences.
Christianity is a relationship not a religion. I'm going straight to Heaven when I die in the loving name of Jesus Christ.
Married to a Mormon 11 years now. It’s very difficult for me. Two very different gospels, and yet my husband is so convinced that he has received his answer to prayer in his teens “is the Book of Mormon true”? His answer came from an undeniable feeling of love. It was an undeniable experience for him.
When I married my husband I was very immature Christian and ignored that spiritual discernment I had because “the language was the same (kinda)” but had totally different meanings. Many years later, two small children and it’s hard for me to discern how to raise them with our two religions. Just sending a warning out to anyone who is contemplating dating a Mormon.
I pray your children grow to see the cult that Mormonism is. This life is s mist and then its gone.

Hey, may I ask u y u don’t believe in God:)?
Hope you find God. It is a journey.
Nice of you to stay! Prayers dude!
Atheists and anti Mormons get along swimmingly.
I was born and raised in the Mormon faith (LDS church), I stopped going when I was 15, after having children I tried to start going, I'm I wanted to be the best parent I could to my children. Something always kept telling me to stop, so I did and I've been researching the church since.
Jesus (the Word of God) is the way, the truth, and the life. You can't put your faith in anyone else.
You should be researching how to prepare your kids for the world they are going to live in. You don't have to be Mormon to see what they are doing is getting better results.
If you watch this, I'll break it down for you in two passages.
Exodus 20: 3
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Ephesians 2: 8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
And Mormons agree with both. Isn't the wife and husband one flesh? Are the husband & wife one person now? Aren't the church and Christ one? Does that mean the church is God?
I'll tell you how they are one, because they have the same will & mind to work righteousness! And they all do it in Unison! Uni! One! "If ye are not one ye are not mine" he says! Let's go down aways & consider the ant and her hill, is it not counted as a Single unit? Why? Well you know the answer now.
"I am the vine, ye are the branches" Just as the tree and its branches are one, so are we with him! And the ones that wither get cast into the fire.
Adam & Solomon were both called a "Son of God" in Jesus's time by the Jews. But Jesus was called "The Son of Man" now "of Man" seems more important than "of God", why? Well I'll let you figure it out. The son is the seed of his father, and what do seeds grow into? Trees!
"And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise." Abrahams seed=the seed of promise=the chosen seed=the elect of God. I'm saying that we are the seed, & God is the tree, & seeds grow into trees.
Paul said we are children of God on Mars Hill, Acts 17:28-29; For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
John 1:12-13; But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Psalm 82:1,6--God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. 6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. Job 1:6, 2:1, 38:7; Gal. 3:26; Rom. 8:29; Eph. 1:11; 1 John 3:1-2; Luke 3:38; Heb. 2:10-11; Isaiah 45:11; Hosea 1:10, 11:10.
It is all over the Bible how we are children of God.
Joseph Smith taught the doctrine of the true god, the god of patience, hope, & peace. And IT IS one god that the followers of the restored gospel worship; I hope you understand.

I was a Mormon from birth. Pretty active all my life. Left 14 years ago due to exhaustion, and illness and finally realized none of them cared for me. It’s a terribly expensive club. Then, 2 years later I married an Independent Baptist and we are active in a lovely church now for 13 years. So now, for the first time in my life, I simply feel like a true Christian as that was all I ever wanted to be! The testimony that you get in the Mormon church is very much like the testimony you get over Walt Disney’s elevated emotion movies. I cried every Sunday because there’s so much talk of family & so much emotional music and The Mormon tabernacle choir giving you goosebump after goosebump & every time you hear them sing, it’s all LDS faith promotion but it’s not biblical truth. All of their faith is in “feelings,” not biblical facts. All these types of trappings are there to promote tremendous emotion and that is what becomes “your testimony” - not the simplicity of Christ as your savior - boom. End of story! There’s so much I could say but leaving the church or trying to talk a Mormon out of Mormonism is one of the hardest things on earth to do but that alone shows you right then and there how brainwashed the members have become. It’s frightening to me now. So grateful I now live for basic things Christ preached and not for the LDS club.
That's nice to hear that you end up as an Independent Baptist not Catholic and other Christian sects.
"none of them cared for me. It’s a terribly expensive club"
bull.
Thank you for this, God Bless You, thank you for your testimony, I too have an ex-Mormon testimony!
You are a fraud. 50 years a member and not going anywhere. This church is God's church. You play with your destiny at your own risk, lady. Your decision.
I’m sorry to hear you had a bad experience that caused you to have hurt feelings. I’ve grown up in the LDS church, and in spite of the claim to be the restored Church of Jesus Christ, where He (Jesus) is the literal head of the Church, we, his followers, have never claimed to be perfect. The early saints in the ancient church did their best, and I feel we are doing the best with our human weaknesses in the latter-days as well, but we are not immune to error. If we were a perfect people, Christ would likely have already come, as the world is already plenty wicked and in need of His return, but I believe His followers (I’m speaking not only of the LDS members, but all who claim to follow Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior) are not righteous enough to receive Him. I know I have a long way to go before I would feel worthy to stand in His presence, but am comforted by the knowledge that if I continue to try my best, repent when I fall, and endure to the end, exercising faith in His grace, that through His atoning sacrifice, I can be made worthy to stand in his presence.
As far as an “expensive club”, I assume you are referring to the law of tithing, which was also part of the ancient church and so it should be part of the Lord’s true church on the earth. I absolutely think about the 10% of my income that I pay - that’s the natural man in me, but when I consider the blessings from that small sacrifice to give Him so little when He gives me everything I have, to the very breath I take, then paying my tithing is easy. And to say we are “brainwashed” is total nonsense. Nobody is forced to stay (as you yourself were once a member), and we are taught to not just blindly believe what we hear or read, but to study it out, pray about it, and then, when we receive a witness of the truth of it, we act on that witness. Anything that leads a man to do good comes from God, and that has helped guide my decisions as well.
At any rate, I’m not trying to pull you back to the LDS faith, and I truly do wish you the best with your new path in life, but just wanted to respectfully disagree with some of the comments to made towards the general body of the LDS church based on maybe a more localized bad experience.

@@ACTURK61 Only David did and he wasn't a prophet. Moses divorced his wife first before marrying the other.
@@ACTURK61 He was not marrying women who were still married to their living husband's, he wasn't lying about it. He didn't have mother daughter combos, teenagers, and do all of this behind the back of his first wife!
Actually when I was a Mormon this was still being taught but was considered sacred knowledge only for those ready to receive higher light and knowledge. It was also taught by prophets and general authorities in general conferences for a very long time. It's still taught and believed by the most devout Mormons- who can receive "the higher truths" and not to the average Mormons or publicly (it's bad for PR and for retaining brand new converts). This is why he says Classic Mormonism, as years ago they would say this stuff publicly and to all their members. Now it's too sacred and reserved for those who have progressed enough and ready to accept it. Either way- it's still a held belief within Mormonism.
There is no official doctrine in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that Jesus had more than one wife.
This guy comes up to me and asks me if I want to join his church and they’ll be reading the Book of Mormon. Then he asks me to read a scripture and asks me if I asked god if it’s true and I say no. He then follows to ask me if I ever plan to I say no.. he gave me so many red flags and I’m glad I didn’t join his church

@@dud3man6969 Yes.
Wow- very well done! I was born in the covenant in a very devout Mormon family. I loved the Mormon church and never wanted to leave it. I was very happy but inside I felt I lacked peace and I really wanted to know God in this life instead of hoping I pleased God enough to make it. Exaltation (becoming a god) is the only way to know God in Mormonism- except there's a rare thing called having your calling and election made sure. I prayed daily and searched the scriptures daily- searching to truly know God. Long story short- God taught me to trust His word and answered all of my questions with Bible verses. God asked me to step towards Him in faith in Christ alone (which was one of the scariest things ever for me as a Mormon at the time). And God revealed himself to me through the Bible and His Spirit (which is very light, I was used to the heavy strong spirit within Mormonism). I now have peace with God- God is good. But for me, it meant leaving everything including my family but it is worth it to know Him. The only thing is even though I have this amazing peace beyond words and I have no desire to go back- I went through years of grief, similar to losing a loved one. Other Christian's had a hard time understanding this.
_"Exaltation (becoming a god) is the only way to know God in Mormonism"_ If that is what you thought then you were severely misguided and confused. You can know God before ever going through the Temple or even Baptism.
_"God taught me to trust His word and answered all of my questions with Bible verses"_ I don't know what questions you had but if it is just the same old "your belief is unbiblical because of this verse I am misquoting" then I could easy answer any question you have.

@@dylanwilliams2202what is the mormon gospel ?
@@jiovaani I don't know because there is no such thing as the "Mormon gospel".
The gospel we teach is the same one taught by Paul. 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, Revelation 14:12) and not to purposefully sin (James 4:17) and/or repent when you have made a sinned (Acts 3:19, Acts 17:30, 2 Corinthians 7:9-10, 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, John 3:5, Acts 2:38, Acts 22:16, Romans 6:3-10, Colossians 2:12, Titus 3:5, 1 Peter 3:21), 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). That path is God’s and Jesus Christ's grace and walking on the path that was paved for us by Christ is our faith and continuing being on that path will allow their grace to increase in our life.

Yes. And not just lds.
Was the law of Moses a false gospel?

Join God and Jesus Christ in their Kingdom and join their true church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and learn all that they have to offer. Learn of their glory and mercy, learn of the plan they have of you.

Thank you!
I am not a Mormon, but I do know, that if we read say the KJV Bible it says In the beginning God created... Mormon books say Gods. If we look at the oldest bible known, written in Hebrew, It say in the beginning Gods created... The oldest Bible uses the plural form for God. This is one of the reasons why the concept of the trinity is believed. The argument being that Gods in Genesis of the Hebrew bible is referring to the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost (remember centuries later Jesus said before Abraham, I am. Meaning he existed before him) Ultimately, no human will know who is correct, what we do know is that God only requires 3 things of us. Be Good, Do Justice and walk humbly with God (paraphrase of Micah 6.8).
3 Gods distinct and separate beings same nature same power eternally together as one
I trust the KJV over any man. And it says GOD.
1- so you read ancient Hebrew
2- I've asked many people to explain to me why it is that a version of the Christian Bible commissioned by James I/VI in 1604 is the only correct version. So far nobody has answered that. I just don't understand how a British/Scottish king paying for another English translation makes it the only valid one.

Hi there, I came at this talk after watching many LDS videos, trying to understand what they believe. I am a catholic priest myself, I loved this talk, especially about our hope and view of the future, and that is as you said, being with, being in God, that is what Christians believe.
After examening the LDS faith, recognizing many good mormons, I have to conclude that their faith is abolishing God, but also humankind. For them, God, angels and humans are of the same species, that of spirit beings, different only becsuse of the stage they are in... That's really different from christianity..
You sir did very little research.
Catholicism is modern day Judaism. Mormons are not Christians.
Repent and believe in the gospel. Pray straight to Jesus ❤️
If your Church/Cathedral teaches anything that is NOT Biblical never trust it. They may not do it with content but deny all that isn’t Biblical.
1. Mary never asked to be prayed to AT ALL, neither did she say that she was an interceder. She is a human and cannot hear prayers, only God should be praised. No where in scripture does it say that Mary will pray for you that idea is man made. “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5)
2. We are not to make any graven images and DEFINITELY NOT bow down to them. “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;” (Exodus 20:4-5)
“I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.” (Isaiah 42:8)
3. We are not to call any teacher father except for our Father in heaven, it is prohibited in the scriptures. “And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.” (Matthew 23:9)
4. The rosary is not Biblical at all
5. We are not saved by works! “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Open your eyes and get out of tradition. Anything that is not Biblical is false, as well as even many of the so called “Christian” holidays celebrated today, they have pagan origin.

" That's really different from christianity.. "

I love the description of the Calvinist/Evangelical Jesus Christ here. It’s so meaningful and beautiful to me. I can’t say the same for the description of the Mormon Jesus. I’m Mormon too
This is spot on. I remember when I was a latter-day Saint for 26 years reading the king Follett discourse. What he is saying is 100% true. Mormons say the same 5 things Lucifer said in his heart in Isaiah 14:12-15. They also 100% deny the trinity. They believe Elohim is someone else besides Yahweh (Jehovah) and they are polytheists. I had one commenter on a video I posted who is a Mormon telling me that the godhead is composed of three distinctly separate Gods. Latter-day Saints do not believe in the same Jesus that mainstream Christians embrace.
Thank you for taking time to tell us what we are commanded by your cult to believe. I think I will watch general conference instead of believing you. Thank you just the same.
The difference between bible Jesus and mormon Jesus is you can't touch mormon Jesus
I see what you did here. LOL
He’s the one and only Jesus.
Where does this kind of screwy idea come from? Can't touch Jesus? Mon oeil! Between the disaffected and the antis I have read more BS and excuses in the last couple of weeks than I have run across in the 60 years since my mission. Jesus promised he would send some to declare repentance and redemption. Redemption has been declared by the faithful since Adam, Abraham, Moses, Peter, Paul, some popes, Luther, King James, today's Christians, etc. Atonement, presented by William Tyndale, means "be at one with Him".

My wife is an Ex-Mormon. Mormons are forbidden to discuss Anointing ceremonies prescribed by Creepy Joseph Smith, Jr. Mormons are forbidden to discuss these, even among spouses. They are changed these ceremonies after word spread about their creepiness. My wife was stripped naked during the pre-1990 anointing ceremonies and had a stranger anoint her genitals with olive oil. She began to question if these " most perfect" ceremonies were ordained by God, why did the Mormons change them in response to their Perverse nature? Also, the ceremonies performed inside the temple are stolen from Masonic rituals; Smith was a Freemason until expelled for immoral acts.
Yes, and because they won't discuss the Temple rites, you cannot have informed consent before you go through the Freemasonic Luciferian rites.😒😰
WOW, did not know about the anointing of the genitals, Very creepy!
Totally untrue.
Typical Occult Mormon response. If it is untrue, give a details...You can't, because they are true. Unfortunate situation for the Mormon cult. They can no longer hide their creepy rituals and constantly changing " perfect religion" .
@@hollayevladimiroff131 Pre-1990 reforms...as the creepy rituals become known outside the cult, the Mormon god decides to instruct rituals be cleaned up. That is what happened in 1990. Imagine being led into the temple completely unaware of the oaths and ceremonies you have to pledge allegiance to.

Stick to the Biblical Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ said that he and God are two separate men, "It is written in your Law that the testimony of two men is true. I am one who witnesses of myself, and my Father who sent me, witnesses of me." Two men, Jesus Christ is one and God is the second. This alone destroys the man made Trinity. But it is not all. We are told it is impossible for God to lie, and God said many times that there is only one God. But this God who cannot lie also called men who had received his word gods, who if they weren't gods before, as soon as God spoke it into existence it was true. And Jesus Christ confirmed it to be true when he said "If he called them gods unto whom the word came, and the scripture cannot be broken, then why say ye that I blaspheme because I said I am the Son Of God?" So how can men be gods and there be only one God? Would not one or the other have to be a lie? Not if the term God is plural, covering multiple generations. Is it strange that only one church teaches what it actually says in the Bible? One way, one truth, one life. No it is not strange.
@Alex Diaz
If you're studying the word of God (holy Bible) every day, you're on the right track. Look for a church (not denomination) that teaches only the Bible and has a strong community. My church has several bible studies each week that draws up to 30 people hungry for the truth of the word of God. Mormonism has no truth whatsoever. It came about by a man who came 1800 years after Christ and basically said everything Christians believe is wrong. If you study Joseph Smith's history, you can see that he was not a man of God.
@@dylanwilliams2202 no your church is not. A new testament from the last of Jesus . No the whole book of Mormon make no sense at all. Joseph Smith did a number on that one such a carn artist.

Not 8nba church for we are the church of Christ all true believers. A building doesn't save you. But faith and the commandments that were instructed to us. We are not gods never will be.
@@bartonbagnes4605 you just don't get it.. you still think God is like us. Do you even understand his power.. you don't get he 8s God Jesus 8s his word and the holy spirit is the connection you have with the creator as when Jesus got baptized the white dove resembles the holy spirit which 8s received after you been baptized and repent from sin and go out and preach the word of the gospel. You spend more time trying to pick it apart than reading it.. no matter what you think say feel does not matter for it 8s written and so it will be.. so you not a follower at all not to take the word of God as law and not question it but except it as it is for he is the creator not you.
According to Apostle John what was the last Inspired book of the Bible that Jesus revealed to him?
Anything is possible through god just cause u don’t understand it doesn’t make it wrong.

If the goal of following the Christian life is to become gods ourselves, then the God of this world would have to be rather petty to not allow us to "be like God" in eating of the fruit of the tree in Eden.
I also like the point that getting to Heaven is not the goal of ancient preaching, but of getting to God... however, I'd suggest that one equals the other: getting to God IS the definition of Heaven.
I mean, God never really shies away from jealousy and pettiness in the Bible.

Be cautious thinking you are the ultimate source of truth, wisdom or knowledge and that you are the ultimate authority on the interpretation of scripture. The most important thing is to secure and defend religious freedom for all. If so many of these preachers focused on defending upright values and religious freedom, and most especially actually trying to alleviate true suffering in this world, instead of telling people where they are wrong, this world would be a better place.
This is a valid point. I do think pointing out error when we believe there is error isn't a bad thing. But when ones whole mission is to do so, that is off the higher path you pointed to.
@@ShareseVHatch Thank you for the respect. This comes from a good place and with respect - in your comment "pointing out error when we 'believe' there is error" could likely be on shaky ground.

The "Mormon Jesus" is bringing about the visions and blessings of old. Nuff said.
So, they want to be gods, and be like God. Wasn't Lucifer cast out of heaven for attempting to exalt himself over God? If God didn't approve of Lucifer attempting to be God, why do the Mormons believe He's okay with them doing the exact same thing!?!🙄

@wvt5825 COME THORUGH!
Question: Is understanding the true and pure nature of Jesus essential for salvation before accepting him as our lord and savior?
If yes: then if we misunderstand even a small aspect of a Christ, are we not saved then? It seems like you are suggesting salvation is found in scripture study and theological understanding instead of seeking and accepting Christ. Is a Christian that is young in the faith dies while believing God has a physical body damned?
If no: then, what is the problem with Mormons believing in a different view of Jesus?
I've come across this thought in my head, we must keep moving and strive for the kingdom so when we see others held back at points whether it mormonism, catholicism or drug abuse we must correct and prod them towards the correct target so they don't remain and shoot arrows astray. If you can think about understanding people in this position and want to ask what's wrong with that then you must just as easily be able to understand and say that those who chose to correct are doing nothing wrong either, correct?

@@AnthonyPearson4JesusofNazareth What if someone is seeking truth and feels strongly that the Bible teaches Christ and God the father are seperate? They go to hell because theologically they do not understand scripture? Salvation comes by being theologically correct, not by accepting Christ.
Or say someone is just confused by it all, but is still deeply concerned about salvation so he prays and says “Christ, whatever form you are, O accept thee” and continues on his journey in trying to figure it out, but never quite does come to the trinity conclusion.

God gave us His word in order that we could know Him so it's not His fault if someone's stubborness causes them to fall. Christians are evangelizing Mormons with love and trying to show them the deception but they choose to believe a man with a shady past who came long 2000 years later and said everything in the bible was wrong, the churches were wrong, their professors were wrong and God was wrong because He said He has always existed and there are no other Gods before or after Him. No... we can't blame it on God. God is holy and in His sight, none are good:
Romans 3:10-12
10 as it is written,
“There is none righteous, not even one;
11 There is none who understands,
There is none who seeks for God;
12 All have turned aside, together they have become useless;
There is none who does good,
There is not even one.”
God wants us to seek for Him in His word and not the words of a false prophet.
Thanks for sharing, I’d like to share my own opinion..my question is after you apply the gospel and the teachings of Jesus Christ is that it? It seems to me the natural law would be to further your spiritual being after this life. Who knows what is planned for us after we die.. I don’t think we sit around in heaven in eternal comfort… why would it end there?maybe we do continue to grow and create more life… I’m not a Mormon but I have been reading the Bible and Book of Mormon… but I don’t understand why people are so harsh on this religion… it does far more good then harm… and that where I am split.. because in the bible it says by their fruits ye shall know them.
OK I guess - but what does the Bible say about whoever comes to us and does not acknowledge the truth of Christ.
Heaven is the promise of the eternal presence of God, no man could achieve greater happiness than in heaven where Christ is and loves.
There’s nothing boring about that the Bible describes it as things the ears have not heard and the eyes have not seen, it’s like our senses will be renewed and more.
You’d have to presume that you know what it’s going on to call it semi boring or call it as the end, it’s the beginning of the promised love and peace in Jesus Christ.
Mormonism is false because of it’s obvious intent which is to make Jesus Christ lesser than what the Bible professed. To become a god is the ultimate goal, sounds like what the Bible described to be Satan’s great sin; wanting to be god.
And it deviates away from the one truth, as Jesus Christ said that He is THE way, THE truth and THE life and that no one comes to the Father except through Him (Jesus Christ)
Seems to me Mormonism is something Satan would use to deviate people away from the truth, it’s just false enough that the core doctrines of Christianity are rejected; and still is able to use the name of Jesus Christ to hide the nature of its creation.
Plus Mormonism says people are black if they were neutral angels when Satan and Jesus disagreed in heaven, like what?? And that those who are white it’s because they valiantly stood by God 💀 yeahhh no racial motive from Joseph smith huh?
Funny enough the writers of the New Testament didn’t think Jesus’s skin colour as of importance and therefor didn’t mention it. Yet of course what you’d expect was made up by a man or corrupted by the devil takes a spin of that nature.
@@g.l9628 That is a way to cause something to be unobjectionable.
It is referring to false Prophets.
That is my thoughts also. If Jesus is our perfect example would the goal not be to become like him in the after life and continue our growth. Just like the bible says judge them by the fruits they bear and from my experience tge Mormon’s are very good people.

Ya, something Mormons not the Christian cult can do!
I'm reading a book by Hinslop from the 1830s detailing paganism, catholics and their relation to primeval religion of all religions from babylons. There are a few passages about holy pagan garments. I immediately thought of the mormon holy underwear, founded about after the time the book was first written. This was something that interested me about interconnection of mythologies. The insights of this book has me looking up recently in various religions, the idea of sanctifying water and fire. I found ample evidence of water in Islam. I wonder if such things are present in mormonism, a newer false religion? Like holy garments that you have to wear and be hopefully buried with.
from the oldest religions of Mesopotamia and Africa, water and fire are present as the primitive "gods" (chaos) and (creation), judaism -> christianity came from an even older faith following the God described with no name and (no english word for this) zero+many face/s - that is why in the first 5 books God is always described as having a no name (i am who am) that no humans can speak, and (panim) zero+many face/s
@@petrolmonkey4228 absolutely wrong about judeochristianity. There was no chaos in that. It was creation from nothing and he was above it, hence, I am, meaning he had no beginning and not present in natural forces like the gods worshipped at the time. This point is hammered in consistently, you shall no idols of me. I am not in the forces of nature, I create them. I am is a name, only it shall be holy and conserved to him alone. Never says him having many faces. addding, destruction of the world by flood is recorded all over the globe, and his version says he will never do it again. There is no special reverence for fire...although the world at end will be destroyed in fire.

They have pagan symbols on their temples and church buildings. The get their symbols from Freemasonry, Joseph Smith was a Freemason.
The sounds just like what the Jews would probably say about Christianity
The MAJOR difference is that Jesus is the fulfillment of things prophecied and promised in the Old Testament. The LDS view of the gospel is a complete hijacking and deviation from what the Old and New Testament actually say.
Jews forget that their own prophecy says that the messiah comes before the destruction of the second temple.
How about doing a video called, “The Calvinist Jesus and the Biblical Jesus.”
Correction to one of the verses you put up, it should actually be noted as John 1:18, not John 1:2-3. Just thought I'd point that out. 😉
John 1:18
"No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known."
Amen!!
I’m a Christian not a Mormon, but Jesus does say “is it not written in your scriptures ‘you are all gods?’”
that’s right, Jesus said that in John chapter 10 and he quoted that in Psalms 82, which if you read it in context the gods mention in Psalms were sinners. The God (capital “G”) is holy and not sinners like what Jesus quoted. brother pls don’t take that literally. God bless you
I was thinking so too
Plus no one is a greater prophet than John he Baptist Jesus Christ him self it’s the real bible the moron book is not a good book sounds weird
Ye are gods, means ye are judges.
@@CommandoJenkins no it doesn’t. Have you ever read it? Lol. Jesus literally used it in the context of being equal to god. When he was rebuked for making himself like god, he said ye are all gods. This is because the trinity isn’t god it is salvation. The ultimate goal is to become one with God by participating in the Trinity through the Holy Spirit dwelling within us.
Hi Jeff! I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. You said that we believe that God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Ghost are 3 distinct and seperate individuals. You are correct! Who else would Jesus have been praying to in the Garden of Gethsemane if it wasn't to God the Father? Who else besides God the Father would have announced, "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased" when Jesus was baptized by John? It makes absolute sense to me that Jesus wouldn't pray to himself nor make a verbal pronouncement when he was baptized. To all who read this...think about it. It makes complete sense that the members of the Godhead are seperate and distinct individuals.
Yes Jesus was praying to his father and Jesus is the son but those are simply roles. Each person of the trinity has distinct roles but share the same divine nature. God the father isn’t the son, the son isn’t the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit isn’t the father they are not three separate gods but are united in one divine essence. Just like our spirit, body, and soul are not the same thing but it all lives inside ONE person.
@@kimberlyrayo953 Kimberly, please know that I am not trying to be a jerk when I say this. But think about it. Why would they all inhabit one body?

What a shame we don’t show more of the Saviour’s qualities in our dealings with one another 😢 Instead of being divisive, would it not be wonderful if we could LIVE what Jesus called the first and second commandments?

Amazing comment! I’m happy to see the love of Christ through your words.
“I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.”
-Revelations 22:18-19
Thats just talking about the book of revelation. To not add anything to that spicific book not about having more books. I get your point, but if you want to witness to mormons don't use that verse for proof on why the cannon is close.
The Book of Revelation was written before many of the other books in the Bible. John himself "added" to his words by writing other epistles/books after. The reason it was determined to be placed at the end was because it deals with the end times more than any other book. Logically it makes sense to put it at the end. However, my belief, and I know most on here will disagree, was that John was speaking of his own revelation, that specific prophecy, the "prophecy of THIS book" when he uttered those words. The Bible was not yet compiled at that time. I understand many do not believe that but that is what I believe.

You seem to have researched LDS doctrine. Well done.
However, your research appears incomplete in missing they key.
I didn't hear you refer to praying to confirm the findings of your research.
Love the plurality of God's thing.
As I understand it the Torah, which "predates" any of what you referred to, in the first few lines talks of that plurality;
Heavenly Father, The Holy Spirit & Jesus.
And if we are created in His image why shouldn't God have a Mum and Dad? Only using the logic He gave me backed up with prayer. The essence of the Christian message is an eternal concept. Never ends, never has a beginning - a brilliant thing to get your mind round!
Lastly, why to on the tube and appear to be arguing
God doesn't have a mom or dad. You can't have an infinite regression of causes.
Who was the first God?
@@estherlewis7458 I don't see why not. They say God created time, so there was a time before time? Wouldn't that mean it already existed?
@@abielferrin913 Time did not always exist. God is eternal. God has always existed. No one created God. If there were ever a time when there was absolutely nothing there would still be nothing. God is the first, uncaused cause of everything you see.
Mormonism teaches an infinite regression of causes, which isn't logically possible. It's one of many reasons they are laughed at.
Here’s the key-Joseph Smith wrote a fictional book. QED
He shouldn't have a mom or dad because He's GOD and it's not in the Bible. End of story. If you say otherwise you preach a different gospel and will be accursed
We have never taught that Jesus is a polygamous. That's definitely false doctrine.
This video should be titled: "Mormon Jesus vs. Nicene Creed Jesus"
🤣 I like that, I think I'm going to start using Nicene Creed Jesus. It's a more accurate description than anything else.
So LDS is like multi-level marketing?
Like if Amway was a church?
Wow, that describes it perfectly. Thank you.
It's basically religious-themed MLM.
The way all questions are resolved is not by looking up to men, it's by praying up to God who knows all things and can explain all things!! I don't listen to these preachings, they are of there own discernment!!!! I am a Mormon by conversion, i converted from baptism and I asked all the right questions to the missionaries and I was told that after, I needed to pray and ask God for myself, if what I had heard is true and I testify that they are because of the joy and relief I felt when they had tought me the plan of salvation it was beautiful and I felt the holy spirit of God come upon me and I felt joy and happiness 😊 I wish all and hope many to come unto the church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints!!!

@LUKETHELOG Will you go to Heaven when you die? Have you lied, stolen used God's name in vain, or lusted {Which Jesus said was adultery, Mt. 5:28}? if so, God sees you as a liar, thief, blasphemer, and adulterer at heart. If you die in your sins, you will end up in a terrible place called Hell. But there's good news. Though we broke God's Law, Jesus paid the fine by dying on the cross: "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life" {John. 3:16}. Then Jesus rose from the dead and was seen by hundreds of eyewitnesses. He fulfilled all the prophecies of the promised Savior. Be intelligent: repent and trust Jesus today, and god will forgive you and grant you the gift of eternal life {Ephesians 2:8,9} Then, to show your gratitude, read the Bible daily and obey it, join a Christian church, and be baptized.
We Are all brothers and sisters in Christ! One Baptism one FAITH one Jesus Amen🙏

284 temples and 17 million members. Good luck but nothing can stop the Lord’s work.
Matt. 7:13 -- Enter through the narrow gate, because the gate is wide & the way is spacious that leads to destruction, & there are many who enter through it.
Bill Williams
" 284 temples and 17 million members. Good luck but nothing can stop the Lord’s work. "
Listen to Kevin 1066 because he knows that Scripture says, "MANY will find that wide path that leads to destruction."
There was only ever one temple in the Old Testament and there was only one person, the High Priest chosen by God, that was allowed inside the Holy of Holies one day per year on the day of atonement to offer blood sacrifices for God's chosen people. No one else was allowed inside and no dead were baptized because baptism didn't exist and, according to Scripture, we die once and are judged upon death. That was the Old Covenant of the Law given to the people. Christians are not under the Old Covenant because we are not Jews being led out of Egypt thousands of years ago. Christians are under the New Covenant of Grace that was promised by YHWH in Jeremiah, chapter 31, verses 31-34.
Jeremiah 31:31-34
31 “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a NEW COVENANT with the house of Israel and the house of Judah,
32 NOT LIKE THE COVENANT I MADE WITH THEIR FATHERS on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, MY COVENANT THAT THEY BROKE, though I was their husband, declares the Lord.
33 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I WILL PUT MY LAW WITHIN THEM, and I WILL WRITE IT ON THEIR HEARTS. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I WILL FORGIVE THEIR INIQUITY, and I WILL REMEMBER THEIR SIN NO MORE.”
There is no New Testament temple. The veil that separated the Holy of Holies from the rest of the temple when Christ gave up His spirit was torn from top to bottom, signifying that we no longer needed priests to stand before God. Jesus is now our only great high priest and our way to God. God used the Romans to destroy the temple in 70 AD because priests and temples were no longer needed.
You don’t need Mormonism, you don’t need a religion, you don’t need a church to be saved. All you need is a relationship with Jesus Christ and you only need faith in what He’s done for you. He did all the work that you are trying to do.

The greatest testimony I have read about Jesus Christ is the testimony Abindadi gives to the priests of Noah in the book of Mosiah. It connected the Law of Moses to the coming of the Messiah, and explained how redemption can only come through Jesus Christ. It impacted me in a way I have not previously known. I am so grateful that this story in the Book of Mormon caused me to believe in the Bible and most importantly, in the absolute power of our Savior Jesus Christ, for "He is mighty to save." Without this story in the Book of Mormon, I would still not even believe in the Bible. The power of that record is going to change the world.
There is no greater testimony of Jesus Christ outside the Bible. The Bible IS the word of God. It makes no sense to find a bigger testimony about Jesus in a book that isnt the word of God
@@sebastianperez8140 I know the Bible is the word of God, and I know this, because of the power the Book of Mormon had on me to soften my heart to accept God‘s word. There is no way you can believe the Book of Mormon, and not believe the Bible. In fact, Nephi gives a strong condemnation of those who have received this word, and aren’t thankful to the Jews for the record they gave us. Now, I know that I am saved from physical and spiritual death. It is a marvelous wonder, and it is only possibly through Christ; there is no other way.
The King Follette discourse is a second-hand accout of a speech given by Joseph Smith during a funeral. The accuracy of the account cannot be verified. The discourse was not given in an official church meeting or given as an official revelation and as such is NOT considered official LDS church doctrine but rather, personal opinion. If you want to know what the LDS people believe then stick to the "Standard Works" and the official words of the Prophets.
That being said, the original Hebrew text of Genesis 1 does use the word "Elohim" which is a plural word meaning "Gods", just like Joseph Smith is reported to have said. So the account given in the LDS scriptures is accurate and true to the original Hebrew text. The "Gods" being referred to are the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

The strange thing is that most of the "Christians" still believes that the paper form of the "Bible" is the word of GOD. Those who have had the Privilege of being introduced to JESUS one on one knows that the "Bible" is not the "WORD" of GOD. It is about the "WORD" of GOD. It says "In The Beginning Was The WORD" then it says "And The WORD Became Flesh and Dwelt Amongst Us" so everything in the "Bible" Old Testament was a historical foretelling of the "WORD" and the New Testament was a Diary of the physical birth, life, death, resurrection and after effects of the "WORD" of GOD.
I've been noticing that many people have actually made the Bible an idol of sorts, by rejecting the reality and tangibility of YHWH. Honestly I have been very surprised by believers that have been sincerely offended at the notion. They know about Him, but stop at the possibility of actually knowing Him.

@@TexasBig You do realize that this was a second letter written to Timothy not to us the reader, right . . . There is a difference between Scripture and The WORD Of GOD. JESUS is the WORD of GOD and the Scriptures are books written about the WORD of GOD. When we make the WORD of GOD into a book he becomes less real to us. That is why lots of people have a Bible but never read it. It just sits there and collects dust. The WORD of GOD on the other hand is a living breathing entity that walks amongst us every day.
@@anar3602 Yes, it is easy to know the Scripture without knowing the WORD of GOD. I ask this all of the time and get varied answers.

Sorry man reading from your comment just asking are you Christian? I’m not trying to attack you or judge by reading the comments we need the Bible it’s through that we know the scriptures and how we hear and know About God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit and everything else in the word.
I heard almost nothing that accurately expressed the accepted doctrines of the mormon faith, certainly little that matches my understanding as an individual member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We believe that we can return to live with God only through the name of Jesus, and only by His grace. Admittedly, many in the church have placed too strong an emphasis on our works to our detriment - but that is not our doctrine. Many of us don't understand grace. And fair enough, it's a hard thing to define. We believe that His atonement gives us grace to overcome our weaknesses. It is not held that Jesus was a polygamist.
The focus of our worship is on Christ and following His gospel: faith, repentance, baptism, receiving the Holy Spirit. We don't walk around talking about how we can become Gods, our focus is on following Christ's teachings from the Bible, the Book of Mormon and modern prophets. But I must admit I'm confused why other Christians are so appalled by the theological conclusion that we can become as God is. He asked us to call Him father, it stands to reason that he wants us to inherit all that He has. Revelations 3:21 says "to Him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne." If we overcome and sit with Jesus in His throne, are we not also Gods? There is much more support had in the Bible for this conclusion that I don't have time to get into. We believe that God is still a God of miracles, and gives revelations to man on Earth through a prophet including things like a deeper understanding of His nature and our potential as human beings beyond that state explicitly in the Bible.
Anyway, I'm done here but we believe in the Jesus of the Bible, that book informs our understanding of who He is more than any other.

I know for certain you do NOT believe that at all.

The Book of Mormon has NEVER been proven!
I had an apocalyptic dream/vision last year that involved the Mormons if anybody is interested…and no this is not an exaggerated description of what I saw nor am I telling this with any agenda other than to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ.
My dream started with me walking around in a mall and there were some missionaries that came up to me and I didn’t think anything of it cuz I’ve encountered them a lot in real life before, but remember this is a dream lol. They began to tell me that they were building ships so that they could go to the planet God prepared for them and they invited me to go. I found it weird because 1. I’ve already learned about Mormonism and don’t agree with it and 2. Why were they trying to leave all of a sudden now? Anyway, I told them nah I’m good I got my family I gotta be there for. My dream shifted (as dreams do randomly) and now I was with my family in a house in top of a high hill that was more of just a huge rock the size of a hill. The sky turned dark grey and black, there was lightning and loud thunder, in the distance I could see different cities with their buildings poking out of the skyline and as I was looking, giant balls of fire the size of small towns began raining down on the cities. I could hear deep, agonizing screams that sounded like demons and then in the bursts of light that came with the balls of fire, I could see the demons silhouette along with minor details like dark, spiky/scaly skin with large claw/like hands. There were all different sizes of them. Some were HUGE and some were tiny. Kinda like they had ranks. After I saw that, I saw a light in the sky in my peripheral view so when I looked, I saw the ships of the Mormons attempting to leave Earth. Right when I saw them, my stomach dropped because at the same time, the Lord told me, “they will perish along with the false prophet they chose to follow instead of following me.” and then BOOM! Fire balls/meteors just came raining down on the ships and completely obliterating them. But the fire kept on raining and it was hitting everywhere except the house on the rock that me and my family were in. I remember my family was scared so we all gather inside in the living room but we could still see outside. As I began praying over my nephew Rocky, the clouds began to open up with a bright light breaking through them. There were very bright orbs like blue, green, yellow, orange, and I just remember them kinda shooting off in different directions from the sky. Some started coming out way but nobody was afraid of them and after all I could see was white, I woke up and I wrote all of it down. I still have the notebook I wrote it in along with the dream I had about being Paul when he got bit by a snake before I had even heard about that story let alone read it. I just wanted to share that dream since that’s the topic of this video/sermon and I’d like to hear what people have to say about it or if you’ve ever had a prophetic dream from the Lord before. I’ve never told anyone about this one specifically yet but I felt like this was a good place to do so

I think it’s so pointless that people argue on these things. If you are Mormon or not Mormon it doesn’t matter what matters is that you believe in Jesus Christ and what he did for you on the cross. If your Mormon and believe this, and you die and Jesus comes to you and says “what you have been taught is false I ask you to set it aside, then they will set it aside because they now know they truth. Same for non Mormons/other Christian’s, if after death Jesus comes to them and says, the Mormons were right, eternal progression is real and you really can become a God, then if they truly believe In Jesus they will fully accept that new truth now revealed to them. The devil wants us to waste our time tearing each other apart over these things. Just focus on being a good person that’s what you need to focus on
The apostles died horrific deaths for the sake of the truth of the gospel. We are to defend the truth of the gospel, and not exchange it for lies. If you are not on fire for God, you must be lukewarm.

Romans 1:18-25
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 CLAIMING TO BE WISE, THEY BECAME FOOLS, 23 AND EXCHANGED THE GLORY OF THE IMMORTAL GOD FOR IMAGES RESEMBLING MORTAL MAN and birds and animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 BECAUSE THEY EXCHANGED THE TRUTH ABOUT GOD FOR A LIE AND WORSHIPED AND SERVED THE CREATURE RATHER THAN THE CREATOR, who is blessed forever! Amen.

" It's a given when a stranger doesn't fully study a subject matter. The one thing that threw me off was that Jesus was polygamous. What? "
According to one of one of the elders of your religious system, Jesus was married and a polygamist. Prophets of God cannot lie, something that would expose them as a false prophet.
Apostle Orson Pratt, says in The Seer, page 172, says,
“…the great Messiah who was the founder of the Christian religion was a Polygamist…the Messiah chose to take upon himself his seed; and by marrying many honorable wives himself, show to all future generations that he approved the plurality of Wives under Christian dispensation… The son followed the example of his Father, and became the great Bridegroom to whom kings’ daughters and many of the honorable Wives were to be married. We have also proved that both God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ inherit their wives in eternity as well as in time….”
In answer to the question “Was Jesus married?” Joseph Fielding Smith, who was the president of the LDS Church in the 1970’s, said, “Yes, but do not throw pearls to the swine!” We can clearly see that the LDS church still believes that Jesus was married, but doesn’t want to “throw pearls to the swine” in other words, to reveal this to non-Mormons. Maybe the Mormon Jesus was a polygamist but he's definitely not Jesus of the Bible.
Jesus of the LDS Church is not Jesus of the Bible. God of the LDS Church is not God of the Bible. Joseph Smith said that there is “A GOD ABOVE THE FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST…”
In Mormon Doctrine, pages 322, we read, …If Jesus Christ was the Son of God, and… God the Father of Jesus Christ had a Father, you may suppose that he had a Father also. Where was there ever a son without a father? …Hence if Jesus had a Father, can we not believe that he had a Father also?” In 1844, Joseph Smith, as recorded in the Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pp. 344-347, first told the audience that: “…every man has a natural, and, in our country, a constitutional right to be a FALSE PROPHET, as well as a true one…” Then on the next page, he says: “I am going to tell you how God came to be God. We have imagined and supposed that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea and take away the veil, so that you may see.” He explains that “…God himself was once as we are now…and you got to learn how to be Gods yourselves… the same as all Gods have done before you. An infinite regression of prior causes would mean there is an infinite regression of uncaused causes, which is logically impossible.
The God of the Bible says: “…Is there a God beside me? Yea, there is no God; I KNOW NOT ANY.” (Isa. 44:8) If God had a father and he had a father and so on, the God of the Bible surely would know that!
In the Bible, God calls us to know, to believe and to understand who He is. God says: “Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may KNOW and BELIEVE me, and UNDERSTAND that I am he: BEFORE ME THERE WAS NO GOD FORMED, NEITHER SHALL THERE BE AFTER ME.” (Isa. 43:10)
To Joseph Smith and to all Mormons, that simply means THEY WILL NOT BECOME GODS! They cannot “learn” how to become gods! God of the Bible says so! God says, “I AM THE LORD, AND THERE IS NONE ELSE, THERE IS NO GOD BESIDE ME…” (Isa. 45:5)
God tells what happens to the false prophets who try to lead people after other gods:
“If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou has not known, and let us serve them; thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or the dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. AND THAT PROPHET, OR THAT DREAMER OF DREAMS, SHALL BE PUT TO DEATH; BECAUSE HE HAD SPOKEN TO TURN YOU AWAY FROM THE LORD YOUR GOD…” (Deut. 13:1-5)
It is interesting to note that within weeks after Joseph Smith had in April 1844 preached this sermon that men will and can become gods and that God was not God from all eternity, Joseph was killed! Coincidence?
Say what you will, but God sent his spirit to convince me that he lives and stir me to a remembrance of him. I actually remembered his spirit. That's how I know it is true.
