- In this video, Jeff Durbin, of Apologia Church and Apologia Radio, gives the Gospel to Mormons. He explains what Mormonism teaches and compares it to Scripture. This video is a message of love for our Mormon friends and neighbors.
Have you ever wondered what Mormons teach? Have you ever wanted a video to share with people to show them why Mormonism is not a Christian religion? Have you ever wanted a video to share with Mormons that gives them the Gospel?
That's what we made this video. We pray that God uses it to bring Mormons to the True and Living Christ. We plead with our Mormon friends:
Be reconciled to God.

Didnt see that coming!!!! czcams.com/video/ezVvp5CxQvM/video.html
Absolutely. It breaks my heart they don't know the true gift and love of Christ.
Yes! As a former Mormon it is on my bucket list to witness to Mormons outside of the Salt Lake City temple. I'm going to have to be bold and get out there and do it!
Thank you for the excellent gospel presentation and scriptures! ❤️✝️😁
I have watch this video maybe a hundred times in the last 8 years and shared it as much because is beautiful message of hope that is only found in Jesus Christ.
Thank you guys for your amazing biblical content always edifying the church and bringing hope to the lost.
This made me cry. I was a practicing Mormon for 15 years and left about a year ago. Thanks for helping me on my faith journey.
Have you had a beer yet
Dear Jack, I'm so happy to hear your story and I hope you have found the real, biblical Jesus Christ ❤
Jack, I am so happy you have found the truth. Who the Son sets free, is free indeed! He who seeks truth, will find it, and you have found it my friend and brother,. God bless you on this journey,.
In 5 days, on October 15th 2016 I was scheduled to be baptized as a convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. By this man's kind voice of truth backed up by the Word of God I was able to realize that my heart had been deceiving me. I am no longer going to be baptized because God has revealed to me that this video was his way of guiding me back to his Truth.
Hello, how are you doing? My name is Tami and I live in Idaho.Thanks for sharing that. I know you don't know me but i have a passion for the lost,especially the Mormons to share with them the true Christ. Have you found a Bible believing church yet?
tamilovesjake I have. it's awesome. I'm loving it.
Kimball Pace the whole thing. why?
rachel fafard if you need any help understanding true scripture I'd be happy to help. it's very tough to know what you thought was so real, was not.
God Bless
praise the Lord Rachel Fafard!
Born and raised a devout Mormon, I only just learned about the REAL Gospel this past month. And yes, I do keep bursting into tears at the inexplicable, indescribable, earth shattering love and grace of Jesus Christ. 😂😍 I have a lot of learning, (and unlearning,) to do, and apologists like you are a huge blessing to baby Christians like me who are thirsting for righteousness. Thank you for your work!!!
If you are interested look at John MacArthur. I’ve found him very helpful. He is a great pastor. I thank Jesus for putting good convicted men out there to preach the true gospel. May God bless you and bring you ever closer to him through Jesus our lord!
So encouraged by your testimony, Laura.
May God continue to give you a hunger for His Word. May He use you and your testimony to share the true Gospel to other Mormons. God bless you sister❤️
Another Great pastor is Jack Hibbs. Real Life With Jack Hibbs. You can find him on his website and CZcams. God Bless you in your new walk with the true and Living Savior
Welcome to God's kingdom! Praise the Lord 🙌
Amen! Much love to you, sister! May Christ continue to bring you deeper into relationship and understanding of who he is by his grace through his word! Paul Washer, John Piper, and Durbin are great places to start! I would also encourage you to look into Charles H. Spurgeon!
This is beautiful. I was Mormon but now I'm saved in the truth of the Bible. Thank you.
People going to believe everything from the internet with out doing their own research is foolish and Arrogant
@@learningtime3935 Pretending you're going to become a god one day is foolish and arrogant. Even Satan knows better than that.
Ezekiel 28
Thus saith the Lord God; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
@@learningtime3935 and ignorant if you don't mind me saying God bless you in Christ peace be with you
czcams.com/video/ezVvp5CxQvM/video.html
@@learningtime3935 No, we do research. That is a weak assumption. We leave at great personal cost. We study very hard. To be honest. Lazy learners and lax disciples are those within the church who do not even bother to read the history or doctrine, but believe whatever their beloved leaders say. They are too intimidated to check it out. I used to be this way.
Please, we do care for you. We love the body of the Church. We too once believed, and were afraid to read the true history and deep doctrines. Please research. Peace to you in Jesus.
I cried 😭, I was going to become a Mormon at some point but God convicted me and showed me his Word and what it says 😭
I am not a Mormon I am of Christ. I do not support the man made doctrine and traditions that Mormons have blindly put up. However the Books contained are
ALL CORRECT AND IN NO WAY CONTRADICT THE BIBLE BUT RATHER COMPLIMENTS IT.
however just like many churches their are always demons tryin to corrupt and mislead the truth so many Mormons have implemented their own philosophy and traditions and been led astray. So the first thing I did was read the Records contained in the book of mormon and then looked up mormon doctrine and was shocked to find that none of the mormon doctrine is found anywhere in the scriptures. Nowhere in the book of mormon does it talk about becoming gods of our own or having multiple wifes and etc......that is of the enemy and unfortunately has crept its way into the mormon church. Much like free masonry has crept its way into the Church and has corrupted many of congregations
@@David557you Why are you lying?.
The Book of Mormon contradicts holy Scripture.
@@David557you if I read your comment correctly, it's false. The doctrine the Mormon church constructed and follows contradicts the Bible A LOT.
Thank you for sharing, Caleb!
Praise God Caleb 🙌
This isn't just the gospel for Mormons, it's the gospel for the world.
Amen. This is 100% truth. I am a former Mormon. Born and raised, but read the Bible like a child and am now a born again Christian.
google : we agree with moroni 8 18 . for cool 4-way folding tract google Moroni818.pdf
Awesome 👏
Praise the Lord!
Me too!
@@hollayevladimiroff131 Amen my friend!
Thank you for your heart to lovingly reach Mormons. I grew up 2nd/3rd generation Mormon. My 2 sisters and I are born again believers. Praying to reach my mom, brother, niece, nephews, and other extended family members.
My Mormon family it keeps bugging me to re-read the book of Mormon and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to me that it is true. It would be my third time reading it, and I get the exact opposite answer of it being true when I pray about it. You have any suggestions or ways to Help them see a new light?
@@c.j.r.02 pray that God helps them see the light. Direct them to these scriptures
@@c.j.r.02… Encourage them to Watch “Elder Micah Wilder’s testimony” It’s incredibly moving & touching, to say the least! WOW! “Those who have eyes WILL see (the truth) & those that have ears will hear (the truth). The “Prideful” sadly will NOT be able to see or hear the truth even if it’s starring them in the face. Ask them if they are Teachable? Are they Reachable? If their “cup” is already “full”, sadly they will not learn anything except what has been indoctrinated into them. Encourage them to Research The History of the Church & try to disprove the so called “false claims”…. that is EXACTLY how I came to know the truth. I am now a Saved Born Again Christian & absolutely LOVING an in-depth study of the Holy Bible & especially my new found relationship with my Savior Jesus…. it is closer than it has EVER been in all the decades of being a Mormon. Gods Grace is so AMAZING! ♥️🥹 It’s also a GREAT START for members seeking truth & also where they will be able to see the truth of Mormon History…but again they will ONLY be able to see the truth if they are truly & SINCERELY seeking it & using the gift of discernment. Trust me, if they are truly seeking truth & the Face of God, they WILL find both.
Anyone who “TRULY” & “SINCERELY” wants the truth, God WILL undoubtedly show it to them, they just have to desire it & sincerely seek it. “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you”.😉
No matter what though, continue to pray for them, that is what I am doing for my family too, every single day. God hasn’t given up on me yet & in turn, I will not give up on others either. Praise Jesus! 🙏♥️ I trust God & trust in his timing. Good Luck & God Bless…🤍✝️♥️🙏
I have watched this several times. I am a Christian college student who had the incredible honor of proclaiming the true gospel of faith in Jesus alone to a couple of Mormon missionaries. I found out that one of the Community Assistants who occasionally has desk duty in my dorm is a Mormon, and I want to share the gospel with her. Thank you for all of your resources for talking to Mormons. It has helped me throughout these different experiences. To anyone who reads this, please pray for these missionaries and the Community Assistant. They need to be transformed by the power that only Jesus has. I am simply a messenger.
Amen!!!

“Many will come in my name saying I am the Christ, and will lead many astray” - Matthew 24:05
Good thing no one in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints claims to be Christ, we simply believe in him
@@david.armstrong that’s what I thought for 43 years. You do believed in Jesus but it’s Joseph Smith’s Jesus. Very different from the Bible Jesus. Read John. Jesus will meet you there. God bless 🙏
@@CB-qt6kp what about the Holy Ghost ?
@Jhondy Suarez I respect your opinion
How do you know this church isn’t true man ?
@@johnhumble4240 simple duh. Read scripture. Yknow what destroys any thought of contradictions about the faith and theology? First looking into if the bible is preserved and if it's inspired by God. I urge you too do some video research.
God sent this video at the right time about 5 years ago.
My mom is very LDS. When I moved to AZ I got really sick and got back into drugs and adultery and everything else.
When I got really sick I told my mom I was done with the life I was living but knew I would need God in my life for there to be any real change. She sent me a lot of mormon conferences and I just couldn’t understand the importance of Jesus when He was never mentioned in the talks. After a few days my mother told me to fast and pray. I fasted from food for two days and after listening to one more conference I remember saying a prayer that went like this “God, I don’t know if this is your true church. It is all I know. But I know I am willing to dedicate myself to this if it is true..” I don’t remember finishing the prayer because this video started playing out of nowhere and I couldn’t get over how true what I was hearing is. I fell to my knees in tears and gave my life to christ. 5 years layer and I have had two friends, one being mormon, also give their life to Jesus. I am writing this today because I was fellowshipping with friends at church and they are talking to Mormons and they asked me about my testimony. I want to thank God for Jeff Durbin and for sending this video. I never got the chance to meet Jeff. I think I would get emotional if I did for how instrumental he was in my life..
Thanks for reading.
❤
Can everyone please pray for my family, I have 30 family members in Mormonism. They won't listen to me,😢😢😭 thank you family! God bless u all
Praying for them.
Have you read, 'Unveiling Grace?' Her parents and church prayed for 29 years.
Micah Wilder, her son, was saved first.

Also, send in your prayer requests to Breakthrough Intercessors. Six other people will fast and pray for three weeks for any prayer request. And as often as you like.
www.intercessors.org/prayer-request
I invite you to read the Book of Mormon, and then pray to our Heavenly Father asking him if everything established in this book is real, and he will give you an answer.
Jemmy Rosado the answer is found in Revelation chapter 22, you shall neither add nor remove anything from scripture.
@@kamalkhalil9090 ooooooh. Drop the mic. He cant refute that. Lol
JULIA HEDDERICH God bless your family! My brother is with Jehovas Witness I pray for him every day. Our father in heaven will finish the good job ! MY HOUSE AND ME WILL SERVE THE LORD ! AMEN
I was baptized into the Mormon church and thank God I fell away and became born again 4/24/2019. I now have such an intimate relationship with God and have the blessing of the Holy Spirit 🙏
Praise God. And may God be gracious to you. May he lift up his face toward you and give you peace.God bless.
it was a kind video. One of the kindest, and least combative I have ever seen him make. I think Christian churches do a lot of good. But the trinity? It makes no sense. Was Jesus talking to himself during his baptism? Was Jesus praying to himself in the garden of gethsemane? Was Jesus talking to himself while bleeding on the cross? Or was he pleading with his Father in Heaven? Joseph Smith restored the truth that the Father and Son are separate personages. ComeUntoChrist.org
@@Ether-pb5gb The Father is God. The Son is God. The Holy Spirit is God. Three persons, one god. That is the trinity which is revealed to us in the Bible.
@@FalconsWarrior but the Bible also speaks of a person named Jesus who prays to the Father.....who hears the voice of the Father at his baptism....who pleads with the Father in Gethsemane and on the cross. ComeUntoChrist.org
@@Ether-pb5gb Jesus is God the Son. He took on human form, but God the Father never stopped existing. That’s why.
Just came out of the church after 38 years . Thank you for what you do Jeff , this really helped me today, I have lost my family and many friends. It’s a tough road but I path I must take
Try your find a bible teaching church, God bless and comfort you
Praying God brings you to solid Christian friends and church family. Lone wolfing it will find yourself sliding back down into the lies of Mormonism. God bless you brother and I hope to see you one day in Heaven and point back to this comment with joy on Christ.
👏 awesome.
KG what made you leave mormonism?
@@donlechon9381I needed Christ. I did everything I could do as a Mormon and was never happy
Amen! Born into Mormonism and am so grateful for my Spirit filled companions as I left. Thank you all for your love and teaching. May this ministry be the message so many are searching to find while stuck in a lie of Joseph Smith.
I'm meeting with Mormons tomorrow, for the first time ever and I'm trying to share the gospel with them. Please pray a covering for me and thank you Lord for Jeff and these videos.
Will do I don’t know if you have already just stick to the word and trust God. He is with you.
Julie, if you would please share how it went. My husband (an ex Mormon now Christian) and I are going to invite them as well.
I would love to know your advice after having them.
Sister Julie, I pray everything went well with sharing the true gospel with the mormons. Do you have any updates, please?
How did it go?
All you need to do is trust God. Don’t bother with people. People lead people astray. God is the one you need to hear and listen to.
I nearly re-joined LDS Church two years ago, this video helped me back to the truth, of Biblical Christianity

@@Ether-pb5gb Haha a mormon talking about something that makes no sense
Wow! Glory to God! ❤
@@Ether-pb5gb I can offer you this. Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit are three beings of the same essence. They are all 100% divine and work in unison making them one God. Jesus is 100% divine but also willingly 100% human. So does Jesus get hungry? As God no, as a human yes. I’m using that to represent the way Jesus works, he is willing enduring the human condition which means as God he knows all but as a human he does not. So he communicates with the father and the Holy Spirit as they work in unison.
@@nolanbernhard1193 in John 17, Jesus prays that his apostles may be one, as Jesus and the Father are one. Are the apostles of the same essence?
Amen! I was raised Mormon and was led away from it to the Cross at Calvary, to the Lord JESUS CHRIST. June 18, 2009- my born again birthday! Hallelujah!!❤️🙌🏼😊

@@Ether-pb5gb Trinity is taught in the Book of Mormon
Book of Mormon: 2 Nephi 11:7: “For if there be no Christ there be no God; and if there be no God we are not, for there could have been no creation. But there is a God, and he is Christ, and he cometh in the fulness of his own time.”
This verse states two things: 1) That Christ is God and 2) That Christ is our Creator.
So then Jesus is not our elder brother because He is our Creator.
Also then Christ is God, the second person of the Trinity.
2 Nephi 31:21 reads: “….And now, behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and the only and true doctrine of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, which is one God, without end. Amen.”
2 John 9 reads:
“Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.”
The Apostle John is saying that, if you don’t believe in the doctrine of Christ (the Trinity), then you will not have the Father nor the Son. The Book of Mormon teaches the Trinity so if you don’t believe in the Trinity then you will not have the Father or the Son.
@@Nellebelll yes, Christ is a God. And yes, the Father made all things through Christ. John 1:3 "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." You are aware of the word Elohim, right? Used over 2500 times in the Bible?
"I do the good works not because I need saving but I do the good works because I am saved"
We are not made righteous through our own works but through Christ alone!
Ephesians 2:8-10
Matthew 25:31-46
@@DwaineWoolley we do the good works because we are saved, we do not do them in order to be saved. We serve the Lord because we have been changed and enlivened within. We are so grateful joyful, renuwed. We are saved UNTO GOOD WORKS WHICHHAVE BEEN PREPARED BEFORE HAND.
We are saved by grace alone by faith in the finished work Christ Jesus alone. Do you truly have faith in Jesus Christ? Or do you stand on the pride of your own merit? You would be more successful flying your car to the moon.
Revelation 20:12 (AKJV) "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
Amen!❤
As a former Mormon this is SOOOO needed! Thank you, Keeping your ministry in my prayers

A few people (including myself) from my church have been meeting with some mormom's... What would be good verse's from the "book of Mormon" that contradicts the true Word of God, the Bible?
No verse contradicts the Book of Mormon, I’ve read out of both the Bible and the Book of Mormon extensively my whole life and cannot find contradictions. The Book of Mormon does contradict several interpretations of the Bible though, just not the Bible itself.
@@LHJlives liar. He’s giving us contradictions right now
He has a very flawed understanding of our beliefs, such as when he says we have a Jesus that cannot save us. The Book of Mormon in multiple spots states that Jesus is the only way to salvation. Either he is severely misinformed about our beliefs or he is lying.
In all of the videos I’ve seen him quote from the Book of Mormon he tends to stick to his favorites like the one mentioned here. Almost seems like he’s only ever read those few verses and not any of the rest of the actual Book. Almost everyone I see saying bad things (more like repeating bad things) about the Book of Mormon has never actually picked it up and read from it. Isn’t that interesting?
Bless you all at Apologia and for your new church that is to be planted in Utah. Praying that you can bring people out of spiritual oppression and the spiritual abuse done to the kind and beautiful Mormon people and lead them all to true salvation and a relationship with the true Jesus Christ ❤️
Why do you think the "mormon people" are kind and beautiful? It is because they know the Lord and have a special covenant relationship with Him! Your belief in Him has come from an apostate understanding of the Oneness of the Godhead! Jesus is not the physical manifestation of a formless God without body, parts, or passions! That is an extra-biblical doctrine not found in the bible! Yes The mormon people are kind and beautiful!! The fruit is good because the tree is good! By their fruits ye shall know them!!
I was a Mormon. Born, raised, two years in Brazil. Married in the Temple. Kept every law and did everything. When I was 25, God sent me starvation. Spiritual starvation. I looked deeper into Mormonism, Masonry, and left only to become utterly lost, and on the verge of Atheism, or worse.
After looking for Him in every esoteric, mystic, and religious tradition, I had found nothing in the end, but stories. So many stories, and no where was He who I was longing for.
When I was 33, I cried out to God, and said I was tired. Broken. Blind. All my pride and works were in shambles. I was ruined. I felt worthless. I said, "I don't know how you'll do it, but I know you CAN do it, and I NEED to know you as you are. Just as you are. I am weary of anything and everything else."
I humbly started simply reading through the gospels. Alone. No other books. I wanted to hear Jesus speak for Himself.
And I did, for the first time in all my life.
But it wasn't till I saw it so clearly, so beautifully and wonderfully and terribly simple - to put all my faith in Jesus alone - it wasn't until then that something happened which to put words to somehow seems...beyond me.
Good souls, this is my testimony. I know that Jesus Christ is exactly and quite simply what He says in His word. The Work which He, the Father, and the Holy Spirit do for us - it is a pure gift, the greatest gift I have ever known. His Grace...it is more than I can even now pretend to imagine. He is more real and true than I am true to my own self, and I just want you to know that you may not know me, but you can know Him.
Thank you for your videos. You didn't lead me to Christ - the Father alone can do that, and has done so after a long wearisome road for me. But your love and care for my soul is so helpful to me right now.
Brother, for now we are brothers, I love and care for you as well. God bless you.
You nurtured doubt and skepticism in your moment of spiritual starvation. The food was plenty in front of you, but you went into fasting for the thru living waters. is not a complement. if you were honest and thrutfull you will remember that your spirit became negative and probably contentious against priesthood and maybe love ones. Your starvation was only a symptom of you straying and rejecting of the Holy Ghost that upholds and sustains the priesthood. It was not a one day starvation but many. The Lord did not reject you, but will give you accordingly. So stop lying.
The LDS church is true
@@jonathangatto nope it its not
@@ImAstroCodm Yes it is
@@jonathangatto did you not watch the video?
Thank you for your good work. So many Mormons will deny what you said about their beliefs. I was once one of those people. After my own independent studies I’ve come to realize you and others were spot on.
As a former Mormon, thank you very much for making this video. Mormon desperately need Jesus.
+Daniel Carter Which church did you go to? The Mormons I know have Jesus in abundance.
+Karl Clinger Jesus is nothing more than a magic word for Mormons. They put His Name in their church title and somehow are supposed to become Christians. They use His Name to close a prayer or testimony and that is supposed to make it official. Beyond that Jesus is pretty absent in Mormonism. All Mormon churches are nearly identical. I went to Mormon churches in Parowan, Cedar City, Enoch, and Santa Clara Utah.
+Daniel Carter That is a charming sentiment, but Christ is central to ALL of the teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
I always take ex-mormon opinions with a grain of salt. There always seems to be a story behind the seemingly innocent posts like this that explain why somebody feels compelled to say negative things about the LDS church. (A relationship gone bad, being offended, somebody forgot your birthday, etc.) I have found that the people in that camp would feel the same way in almost any congregation because they go to church for some reason other than to worship God. I am not saying that is you. There just seems to be more to the story in situations like yours.
+Karl Clinger I just got saved (born again John 3:3), and God led me away from the lies of Mormonism. Christianity is centered on worshiping Jesus Christ. Because He is God. Do you worship Jesus Christ? John 3:18,36. Isaiah 43:10,11 Jeremiah 17:5 Romans 11:6 Ephesians 2:8,9 First Corinthians 1:17,18.
+Karl Clinger i see you didnt take in any of the points mentioned in the video. well done...
OH MY GOSH... WHERE HAS THIS VIDEO BEEN ALL MY LIFE?! THANK YOU GOD FOR THIS VIDEO. THANK YOU GOD FOR SPEAKING THROUGH THIS MAN. THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING YOUR TRUTH.
Lol what truth??
False interpretations and hate =/= Truth. That's called "deception"
DID YOU GET TRICKED BY THESE LDS DEVILS?
Lol how do you mean? I live in Utah where I'm surrounded by mormons. This is just a very great tool that I have been searching for.
I am in Utah County its crazy ville!
Born into a 7 generation legacy of Mormonism; born again at 43 yrs. old in Jan 2020. The God and good news we find in the Bible changes hearts and minds❤️. Praying many will read it as if they never read it before, with new eyes and no assumptions. May Jesus lead many who find this video out of the wilderness and into his kingdom.
This is one of those rare videos that I occasionally come back to for the sheer compassion and sincere, honest love that Jeff has for misguided Mormons. I too, came out of Mormonism as a teenager and was later saved in 2021 at 44. It's been a long and tiresome journey, and I would not trade it for anything as I am reminded by scripture:
Philippians 3:7-11 ESV
[7] But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. [8] Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ [9] and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith- [10] that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, [11] that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.
All glory to God! 🥰
How glorious is the gospel and how beautiful the feet of those who bring the good news! Thank you for sharing.
I'm not Mormon but that was beautiful. "And the word became flesh and tabernacled among us..." Wow.
The past several months I have come out of Mormonism. I grew up in the Mormon church. I am currently 16. I never truly knew the gospel I would always go to church with my mom, sometimes I would feel the spirit but most of the time it was you need to do this and that and always depressing and only talking about going on a mission . I had fairly recently gotten a girlfriend who has had a very hard life and never had a religious home or a good home for that matter. So wanting to help her out I searched out the gospel for hour and hours on end day after and finally found the true gospel. I’m so glad I found the gospel and I have never felt more at peace with god. And I tried to talk to my mom about it but I can’t ague with her or have a honest conversation and all she does laugh or not let me talk but I tried I really tired but people have to have a open mind and true change of heart. My girlfriend wants help and I’m hoping with time I can help her heart and soul
Thank you for all your hard work. What an inspiration! I shared this with all my LDS friends & family for the 9 yr. anniversary of my Christian baptism this week. My entire family is LDS and sadly I haven't ever shared my conversion story or my baptism with my LDS family. This is golden!
What happened when you should them
Bless you, Julia. You are blessed to be out of LDS with it's different Good News of a different Jesus Christ. Here's a super way to help LDSers : read and know and share (google to find and read): we agree with moroni 8 18 ([against Joseph Smith, the covert Freemason agent.]), And to get the info as a 4-way one--sheet of paper folding tract, just google Moroni818.pdf
God Bless.
LDS church is true!
@@jonathangatto peace be with you. I am sharing this with you and I pray you will read and find your way.
Galatians 1:6- I wonder that you have been so quickly transferred, from him who called you into the grace of Christ, over to another gospel.
Galatians 1:7- For there is no other, except that there are some persons who disturb you and who want to overturn the Gospel of Christ.
Galatians 1:8- But if anyone, even we ourselves or an Angel from Heaven, were to preach to you a gospel other than the one that we have preached to you, let him be anathema.
2 Corinthians 11:13- For false apostles, such as these deceitful workers, are presenting themselves as if they were Apostles of Christ.
2 Corinthians 11:14- And no wonder, even for Satan presents himself as if he were an Angel of light. (Remember this was written 1800 years before the LDS religion was founded and this looks very familiar to what Joseph Smith had seen.)
Why would you believe you can become a god or that there are many gods, when God himself has revealed many times he is the one and only? He who has no beginning or end.
Where in the Old or New Testament does it say God would send an angel to restore the church?
Matthew 16:18 - And I say to you, that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it. (Again...written 1800 years before LDS religion was founded)

Thanks for this video! Praise Jesus! I implore all who read this comment to read your bible. I pray you all find God through Jesus.
It's thanks to your video debating Kwaku the Mormon that I was able to truly understand what we as mormons are missing. The beautiful and patient way you explained to him spoke to me. And all the study and research and Bible reading fell into place. And I began to have the courage I needed to step away. I'm still in the early phases of walking away but I am so grateful for Christ's gift of grace. I am a filthy sinner and I dont want God to look at me at all. I am so grateful to be covered by Christ. I never understood that scripture in the Bible about His yoke being easy and His burden being light till I came to realize my works don't matter. Not like I thought they did. They cannot save me or help me. Its so freeing to know I am not bound by all these laws but am set free through Christ!! Hallelujah! I am so grateful for Christ, my Savior and Lord!
Amen!
Thank you, Jeff Durbin! Such a beautiful video ! Highlighted all of the verses in my Bible and shared it with my daughter! We are born again Christians and have many friends and family that are LDS that we would love to bring to Christ! All glory goes to God!
I am LDS and love the Lord....I am Born again! I know He is my Savior and I have come to Him with a broken heart and accepted Him as my Lord and Savior......why do you all think you have a lock on His mercy??!!
Wow. This is so professionally organized, tenderly spoken, and factually rooted. Very good video. Seeing this 7 yrs after it came out, its cool to see all the comments of those it has impacted
Only by pride cometh contention.
I'm a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints 🙂
I live the gospel. I love it. The gospel is true!
If you're a doubting member, please know it's perfectly normal to have doubts in any faith. You can find peace in Christ! I went through a faith crisis in my 20's and 30's and came out the other end with an unshakable testimony that Christ restored His Church - His kingdom on earth in the latter days. I know He is my redeemer. He lived, taught, suffered, and died for all of us that we may live again (both spiritually and physically).
I love you regardless of how you feel about what I'm saying. I only wish Christ's peace to be upon you!
Here is the true, original and everlasting gospel. How does yours compare?
I Cor. 15
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
******
Jesus Christ already told us that the church would never need to be restored.
Matthew 16:18 The gates of hell will not prevail against the church. "And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
***
Only a proud and arrogant person would ever think that they could become a god one day, especially when God has already said that he is the only God there ever was, is or will be. Who are you that you know more than God?
Isaiah 43:10 “You are My witnesses,” declares the Lord, “And My servant whom I have chosen,
That you may know and believe Me And understand that I am He.
Before Me there was no God formed,
And there will be none after Me.
Isaiah 44:6 “For the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts says this,
‘I am the First and I am the Last;
And there is no God besides Me.
Isaiah 44:8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses.
Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
Isaiah 45:5 “I am the Lord, and there is no one else;
There is no God except Me.
Isaiah 46 “To whom would you liken Me And make Me equal and compare Me,
That we may be alike?
“Remember [carefully] the former things [which I did] from ages past;
For I am God, and there is no one else;
I am God, and there is no one like Me,
1 Kings 8:60 - That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and that there is none else.
If you sincerely drink poison, it will kill you: if you sincerely cut your throat, you will die. If you sincerely believe a lie, you will suffer the consequences. You must not only be sincere, but you must be right.
@@jlewis8145 (cont'd) "(cont'd) "Latter-Day Saints who have received the temple ordinances recognize that we can only inherit all things if we are married for eternity. This LDS principle, which is ridiculed by critics of the Church, is also taught by the Bible. “Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.”21 Latter-Day Saints are taught that only those who are married for eternity can become as God. Only a god can have spirit children of their own. Thus, the cycle continues, as does our relationship with our Heavenly Father. Why do you think marriage is such a sacred subject in the scriptures? It is not a coincidence that our earthly marriage is a step in preparation for us to reach our full potential of becoming as God.
In conclusion, when the Bible tells us that . . .
We were created in the image of God
God is the father of our spirits
We are the offspring of God
Christ calls us gods
Man has become as God
We will inherit all things
We will be co-heirs with Christ of all things
We will have glory
We will have thrones
We will be filled with the fullness of God
We will be partakers of the divine nature of God
We will be one with God
We shall be like Him
Our bodies will be fashioned like His glorious body
We can gain perfection
then yes, I believe we have the potential to become a god ourselves. It is tradition that teaches these things are not true. It is the councils of men that teach these things are not true; it is the Christian Creeds that teach these things are not true. It is the Holy Bible that teaches these things are true. I choose to believe what the Bible teaches."
@@oasisoflasvegas7925 Thanks for your post.
The Bible says that no one is born a child of God. Everyone is born spiritually dead, children of wrath, children of disobedience and without hope in the world. Ephesians 2
1. And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
12... having no hope, and without God in the world:
Our sins separate us from an infinitely holy and righteous God. Isaiah 59:2
*****
Only those who receive Christ become children of God. John 1:12
12 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:
Only then can you be adopted into God's family.
Ephesians 1
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Galatians 4:5
5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.
The LDS church mocks their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and says that he is a created being the brother of Satan. A child of God would never do that. Latter day Saints will not inherit anything except an eternity apart from God.
The first spirit to be born in heaven was Jesus,
(Mormon Doctrine, p. 129).
Jesus and Satan are spirit brothers and we were all born as siblings in heaven to them both, (Journal of Discourses, vol. 6, p. 8; Gospel Through the Ages, p. 15).
@@oasisoflasvegas7925 Romans 9:8 says that “it is not the natural children who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring.”
Instead of being born as God’s children, we are born in sin, which separates us from God and aligns us with Satan as God’s enemy (James 4:4; 1 John 3:8).
Jesus said, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me” (John 8:42).
Then a few verses later in John 8:44, Jesus told the Pharisees that they “belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire.”
The fact that those who are not saved are not children of God is also seen in 1 John 3:10:
“This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother.”
@@oasisoflasvegas7925
Only pagan gods are married. The true and living God is invisible and a spirit. He does not need or want sex. God created Adam out of the dust of the ground - no wife needed!
The Bible is true. I am glad you agree.
Hosea 11:9 for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee:
I Timothy 1:17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
Colossians 1:15 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
Hebrews 11:27
By faith Moses left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king, for he endured as seeing him who is invisible.
Job 9:32 “In truth I know that this is so; But how can a man be in the right before God?
“For He is not a man as I am that I may answer Him, That we may go to court together.
****
The true and living God is self existent. He does not need food, air, water, sex, sleep, shelter, clothing or anything else a mere created being might need. He is eternal. God has always existed. No one created God. Unlike the Mormon god, the true and living never had to work his way to godhood. He does not have a mom or dad.
God is the father of our spirits.
You came from your parents.
Acts 17
God does not live in temples nor was God the Father ever once a man, as Joseph Smith said. The God of the Bible is eternal, infinite and self-existent. He is not dependent on anyone or anything for His existence. He lives outside of time, space and matter because He created all things.
Acts 17:24 The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; 25 nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things;
Paul is quoting the poet Aratus. 'Phainomena'
27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28 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.
The expression, We are His offspring, doesn’t mean that we are begotten by God through some natural process like God has a wife, or that we possess an element of deity, but it’s very clear, you read it other places, that means that God created us.
He created man in His image formed him out of the dust of the ground and created him. We receive our very life and breath from God. The Athenians' and Latter day Saints very creation and continued existence depended on this one God whom they did not know!
Since human beings have been created by God, the divine Being, he cannot possibly be in the form of an idol, an image conceived and constructed by man. ie. an 'exalted man from another planet.' The city was full of idols and objects of worship, so this was amazing to the Athenians.
By the same token, the LDS 'God' who was 'once a man' does not exist. He is just a figment of your imagination.
Who created your god with a body of flesh and bone?
Who created the planet he came from?
Who created the star Kolob he lives near?
Who created his wives that he is out sleeping with?
Why does he damn people who deny the eternal principle of polygamy? D&C 132
The Bible answers all these questions.
please pray for me and whatever God is doing with me tomorrow; i have 3 lds sisters coming over to chat with me, and they themselves told me they felt like God was telling them to come knock on my door... if you see this anyone in Christ, please pray that God speaks truth through me; that i reflect the true Christ to them and to not speak foolishly. and that any light i can pass on from God soaks into them and that they see the truth of the biblical christian One True God and be saved; if not instantly, eventually. thanks all.
Oh my gosh this is the most beautiful thing

I left Mormonism a few years ago.
I thought Mormonism was another denomination of Christianity but this channel confirmed some questions for me and I’ve since made it my own personal mission to give the Word to my family to save them with the true Gospel of Christ and bring them out of the false gospel that is Mormonism. Thank you for plainly laying out the fundamental differences in this and your other videos witnessing to Mormons. This has truly intensified my studies in the word and brought me to a whole new level. Thank you
Robbie Dangerfield they want you to believe it is another denomination of Christian. It’s not!! Back before computers, I fell for that. “We are a family centered Christian religion” nope! I learned the hard way! Thankfully I have been saved & now believe in the Bible & follow Christ. I’m very happy that you found the truth as well.
Check out Dan Mohler!

My husband just ministered to a Mormon. He lead him back to Scripture and our son gave him a Gospel tract he received it. It’s in God’s hands 🙏🏽🎚️
This video started my burden for the LDS people. God, through this man and his ministry, set me on a path that would eventually introduce me to me to my wife and eventually convert her (before we got married of course). She is now a born again Christian and a member of the Baptist community. I sent Jeff Durbin a video of her baptism, because it wouldn't have happened without this ministry. Thank you. You've changed her life..and mine..forever. .

I’m weeping as my LDS dad is visiting me for the first time since God has saved me by His grace through faith in Jesus according to scripture. I’m so new to learning scripture, Reformed theology, and apologetics because I’m SURROUNDED by unbelievers or followers of prosperity gospel and “woke evanjellyfish” here in Seattle. I care about nothing else now than glorifying God in both displaying AND saying the Gospel by learning how to be a light to the lost. I truly grieve over my own wretchedness and grateful for a regenerative heart but sometimes struggle to love and have patience with the lost, especially those close to me and older who ask me so many questions that I don’t know every answer to and thus becoming a burden on me to teach them. I’ve been accused of arrogance for standing firm in Sola Scriptura, but I remember being so deceived growing up in the RCC and then falling into new age, and once I learned the Truth: I couldn’t believe how many Christians I encountered back then who never explained any of this! Thank God for you and your ministry!
I am glad your mortal father is near you. But cry not just for receiving the living in your life but cry for not knowing how to come back to those who you left behind in the premortal life and love you in a way you still not aware of. The Covenants and Ordinances that your LDS Mortal father can explain to you, will give you even greater Joy than the one you have from acknowledging the grace and power of atonement of Jesus Christ.
@@alfredomoreno301 Praise God, Jessita!
I was born and raised as a Mormon my whole life family neighbors everyone I know around is a Mormon but my girlfriend is a Christian and she knows I have my doubts about the Mormon religion and it’s teachings Jeff Durbin is helping me open my mind so I feel like I’m understanding more and more about exactly the differences really are between Mormons and Christians cause for the longest time I thought I already was one lol I’m gonna keep up on this this is awesome stuff I’m learning
God bless you.
If you ever need to talk you can email me ! I was Mormon and I’m getting the Jesus of the Bible more and more and he’s beautiful! Princezz_josie@yahoo.com
Please don't rely on a so CALLED prophet. Read your bible. Jesus is the only way.
Doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith, as a Latter-day Saint you are a Christian because you believe in Jesus Christ. Many Christians try to add on to the basic and pure definition of what a Christian is so they can exclude Latter-day Saints. Hold to what you know and the Lord will support you!
Let us know how much learning you have received since than. or how much light have you also lost.
Just sent this to a mormon and praying his ears and heart to be open
@Eric Langstroth what do u mean
Thank you Jeff for loving mormons and your work to demonstrate it
I have listened to this on repeat for almost an hour and I will keep listening for well over an hour then I will download this to keep listening. I never always believed in God at all but I got the help I asked for when I begged for him to help me and I still get more help. I hope the people who are lost find they way.
I love the Gospel. this is beautiful. Praise God for this message.
Shed a few beautiful happy tears listening to that. I have such a heart for Mormons.
So beautiful, Thank You God for your Word. We wouldn't know the depths of who you are without it. God The Father. God The Son. God The Holy Spirit. All working together PERFECTLY.

Thank you so much Jeff!!! I'm a 15 year old guy in the UK that was stopped by two mormons when walking home from college. I was asked to see them the next week and I was flustered as I knew very little about Mormonism but didn't want to do God injustice so I prayed to Jesus Christ and asked for him to give me wisdom. Someone at my church recommended this video to me and I thank the Lord so much that God has given you this calling that you can help me to pronounce the true faith in Jesus Christ and the Lord God in Heaven. You have provided solid scripture which has helped me back up my beliefs when I had none previous so I thank you for your help and I pray that God be with you and bless you!!

"Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand" - Mathew4:17.
Why should anyone repent?
@@hawkerdoo For anyone else who reads this comment and doesn't know what repentance is, here's a definition from the Lexham Bible Dictionary: " 'Repentance' refers to an event in which an individual attains a divinely provided new understanding of their behavior and feels compelled to change that behavior and begin a new relationship with God (Heb 6:1; Acts 20:21)"
God commands us to repent; repentance is necessary for salvation. People can say "I have faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God", but can they repent? Yes they can, but not everyone will. We must stay repentant, even though we all still sin.
Please Pray for the Mormons, they are very good people, just lost.🙏♥️ Let us not give up on each other, instead let us pray & serve one another, as Jesus would do. Jesus will never give up on us, let us go & do likewise.😉 Thank you for the work you do Jeff! All glory to God! God is so good! 🙏♥️ Praise Jesus! ✝️💜
Sir, Your works are so powerful, It tells me to stand before God's word. Beautiful. You are blessed. Jesus is the only way. Thank you!
Needed this. I'm not Mormon, I'm a Christian but I needed to be reminded of grace again, and what that means. It means I can quit trying to be perfect, because I can never make it on my own. It's funny how the Scripture Jeff quoted about how we've all fallen from grace could be talking specifically about me, based on some things I've realised about myself recently. Thank you Jesus.
Wow this is how I was also feeling and needed this reminder as well

Amen sister in Christ!!! We are all beautifully broken.
Man…I’m so unworthy and I am saved. Thank you, brother for inspiring my faith with this teaching.
It's always refreshing to hear the good news even as a Christian. It's a comfort to my soul. This is an excellent resource to direct Mormons to and may they listen with open ears and hearts to receive the truth. Amen.
+Sharif Shoker I listened. It was just more of the same modus operandi: 1) Find something Paul said and take it out of context. 2) Call it the simple truth. If you can't understand it then you must be dumb. 3) Tell people who don't agree that they must not believe in the Bible in hopes of intimidating them from actually reading the scriptures for themselves.
The Spirit testifies of truth. Ask God for it and He will give it to you.
+Karl Clinger Jeff is great to listen to because of his effective hermeneutics, so can you give examples of him missing the context of Paul?
+Daniel Mamnev Works, when reference by Paul, are most often a reference to the Law of Moses. Jeff conveniently omits this in support of his otherwise unsustainable argument that our own good works are not important to our salvation. In his references to the Old Testament scriptures he quoted in support of the nature of God he makes many assumptions. In regard to hermeneutics, the bounds of interpretation are defined by the premise and assumptions one starts with. Here, Jeff is making the poor assumption that God The Father and Jesus Christ are one being (rather than one in purpose, as we are encouraged to be).
Give me a specific verse from Jeff's video that you would like me to address. Remind me of the time he discussed it so that I don't have to go searching for it, and I will tell you why I think it is either not in context or misinterpreted.
+Karl Clinger well I don't think he's misinterpreting anything. he never said good works are not important, he said that good works are not means for salvation, but rather a indicator of it. Also, by scripture, God the Father and Jesus Christ are both God, but different persons or entities.
+Daniel Mamnev Do you agree that Paul is talking about observing the Law of Moses when he talks pejoratively about works? Do you agree that in contrast to works, grace is a reference to the Gospel as taught and accomplished by Jesus?
So happy to have found this video. After being a convert to the LDS church for 35 years and never feeling filled with the true knowledge or personal relationship with Christ I have decided to leave. I regret the years I spent struggling to find the true Christ where there was little to no possibility of doing so but also joyful to now have that opportunity back in my life. I know now that the whispers of discontent I was filled with every single day of the last 35 years is finally gone!
You are in Satan's hands now...I'm sorry
a wolf doesn't speak to sheep already following him, he goes after sheep still following the Shepard.. think on that.
Please 🙏 for me.. ive had 2 young ladies coming to see me from the Church of Mormon. I've been really struggling to keep my guard up. My Faith and knowledge of God's word is being tested. I know reaching these young ladies isn't my job but to have God lead my thru the Holy Spirit. I pray he guides my words and only allows the truth to prevail. May the angels battle for our safety and salvation. Thank you for the truth and light
My husband was a member for 62 years, I was in the church for ten years, we now know how much lies we heard from the church, how much money we had to pay just to go t9 the Temple, we found the true Jesus, we are finally free and happy, this video helps us to understand that we made the right decision!
Um. So going to the temple is free...
Dinie Madsen so glad for you both!
So, the Law of Tithing isn't only taught by our Church, you do know that don't you?
@L Where did I lie to people? If your church doesn't teach the tithe, then it is not Christ's church. I am not lying; it is taught in the Bible. Tithe literally means tenth. We are taught, in the Bible, "Thou shalt not steal". "Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me." Why would anyone be upset at paying tithing when we are promised that God will open up the windows of heaven to those who tithe? Why would you push false doctrine that would make it so that people won't receive blessings from God? Christ taught that the widow who cast in her mite cast in more than those who cast in of their abundance. Tithing is stock in Christ's Kingdom. It gives the tithed a stronger tie to God, with a desire for the church to grow and flourish.
We are also warned that those who rob God will be cursed with a curse. What is interesting is that I have a friend who is a baptist. He told me that he didn't always pay tithing. It wasn't until recently that he began to, and he told me that he has seen great blessings in his life since that decision.
Why do you doubt the Word of God? Why do you doubt His promises?
@L you mean like you calling me a liar when all I did was ask the person if they know that tithing isn't only taught in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? What words did I assign to you that you don't believe or intend? Why don't you be more specific. You are the one who responded to me first and called me a liar. Then you say that I twist people's words?
SO thankful for you and your ministry. I thank God for you and the way he uses you to convict my heart of complacency. Come, Lord Jesus. COME!
read the bible, this man is taking advantage of the ignorant and foolish. Read even the very bible he's quoting from and you'll find you're listening to a hypocrite with a forked tongue.
This is beautiful. Love, compassion, and truth on full display here.
+Nicholas Villarreal This is nothing less than an attack on the LDS church. Was it the beautiful music or the beautiful temple in the background that distracted you from what he was saying? Do you really think that calling a beloved figure in church history a liar and accusing Mormons of sharing a message of death is loving? Reading these "deer in the headlights" responses is damaging my opinion of society.
+Karl Clinger He's simply stating the truth. The LDS has lied.
+SoCalExile Even if you think that is true: Where is the love and compassion? You have nothing to support your claim. Millions of people have personally witness a spiritual confirmation of Joseph Smith's experience.
+Karl Clinger You should take a look at Jeremiah 17:9 and Matthew 15:19 in regards to trusting your own feelings over the word of God.
+Karl Clinger Love and compassion because he cares enough to share the truth with those who have been deceived. He is genuinely concerned and the presentation and demeanor testify to that.
I wish I had seen this 6 years ago when I left LDS at the age of 16 There is so much truth and Grace in these words period by the grace of God. I've come to this conclusion before watching this video. PRAISE BE TO JESUS! THE LVING GOD! Only he can save you!
Hey how things are going on for you my friend? What is your family saying about your decision? I know it is so hard to leave behind the LDS Church. Btw i am an Orthodox Christian and welcome to Christ my brother!
GOD bless you pastor Jeff. Keep up the incredible evangelism to this lost world. May God continue to pour out his favor.
You have given a beautiful message to the lost Mormons. Pastor Jeff. ❤
This is the first video I saw from Jeff and Apologia church some few years ago and loved it and I have continued to watch and follow Apologia church since alongside Alpha and Omega ministries and others. God bless!
Gods word just hits my heart more than anything in this world. Jesus Christ is Mighty and I'll serve Him Forever.
Amen. May the scales be lifted from the Mormons eyes and their ears be opened. I walked away from the Cult of Joseph Smith and found the Jesus I thought I loved!
I tried showing this to my Mormon mother, it did not go well. She didn’t even want to hear what he had to say.
Keep her in your prayers. I'll pray for her too. I don't think it's ever very easy for any Mormon to realize how much they've been lied to and taken advantage of.
The devil doesn't want the truth. There is a power grip over lies. Pray!
straight to the point video, no arguing with crowds or shouting scripture to people who just want to put forward there silly arguments, this is the best video by Apologia, educational for the believer.. thoroughly enjoyed this one.
Jeff, its Because of your ministry and what I have learned, that I spend as much time with the Mormon missionaries that have come by my home and those I have talked with that lived in the apartment communities I use to manage. Not many return to continue the conversation, but I know because of the teachings In This Video and the power of the Lords words, does His word go without void. There have only been 5 young missionaries, (3 women, and 2 men) out of about 100 that have stopped by my last three homes Ive lived in that have come back to continue the understanding and truth of who Jesus is and that He IS the finisher. Though they may return to argue the book of mormon, I know the Spirt is working. Thank you Jeff for equiping me to help lead these beautiful and loving souls to the Truth.
I grew up in a very strict Mormon household. It's what my friends and family believed in which led me to believe in as well. It's almost like the Mormon church took advantage of my youth to develop my brain into believing their church was true. I find it hard sometimes studying and reading the gospel as I feel I've been brainwashed in the Mormon church. All I can say is that I'm doing my best to know the true Christ of the Bible.
John 10:27-29
God bless you.
I believe God sees your desire and effort to know Him. And He knows the struggles you’ve faced doing so. I can definitely relate! But God is so good at helping us as we learn and grow. He’s passionately committed to us in whatever stage of growth we are in! When I was reading your comment, these are some verses that came to mind:
Isaiah 9:6 (Jesus is a wonderful counselor)
Hebrews 1:1-2 (God speaks to us by His Son)
John 10:27-28 (He knows us, and we hear Him; no one can take us from Him)
2 Chronicles 16:9 (He searches out those who belong to Him to strengthen them)
Hebrews 4:16 (come to the throne of grace with confidence)
1 Peter 5:7 (cast ALL your cares/concerns on Him)
Philippians 1:6 (HE will finish the work He started in you)
Matthew 28:20 (He is with us always)
Philippians 2:13 (He gives us the desire and power to seek Him)
Luke 12:6-7 (🫶🏼)
James 4:8 (He promises to draw near)
Hebrews 11:6 (come knowing He rewards those who seek Him)
Stand on these promises and be encouraged! You are seen and loved so much! We can surrender the process to Him, trusting He will walk us through getting to know Him, learning to hear and distinguish His voice, and learning how to follow His lead.
Bless you for what you are doing. If it saves one soul it’s worth it. I know how hard headed Mormons are
This video is the best apologia video it also saved me from staying in Mormonism God bless .🙏🙏
God bless you!
Faye Lewis God bless you to beloved Jesus loves you so do I .🙏❤️😇
I was a convert and member of this church for about 6 months. Baptism actually helped me because yes the Holy Spirit did speak to me and exposed the church. I even was told by the Holy Spirit to go to SLC Utah and that told/showed me allot. They idolize the temples and Moroni, gold statue on the top but devout Mormons have some sort of deep reasoning behind it. I even made a good friend and then when I left he stopped texting, calling, and visiting. I left because I was told I wasn't spiritually prepared to bless the sacrament because I wore dress shorts and my shirt wasn't white, was told I'd be a potential stumbling block to some in the congregation. I also went back to drinking coffee, which I realized this is all man made doctrine. Then told by missionaries only way to be exalted is through this church and that the Bible wasn't enough.
Thank you so much Brother Jeff for your hard work on sharing the true Gospel
Would love to see one for Jehovah's Witnesses!
Karl Clinger Woooooaaahhhh bro. I know what the Watch Tower is and how they operate / believe. I am only just one man and I can only tell a limited amount of people about the lies of the Watch Tower....
I am not saying that the Spirit would testify that the Jehovah's Witnesses are true. But, if you want to know about somebody's biefs you should ask them directly. Jeff is not going to give an accurate representation of anybody who does not believe as he preaches.
Karl Clinger I do know what they stand for, I have done my research. And I have spoke with them. It may not be an accurate but at least will raise questions on who JW is....
+Karl Clinger everyone will give a biased view on any topic based on their worldview. Objective truth should be the goal for everyone. What we believe is irrelevant unless it is objectively true. Watch "The Ultimate Proof of Creation" by Jason Lisle right here on CZcams.
Yes I love JW's!
Bro I just wanna say thank you for spreading the word to these people and that Jesus is the first and the last bro thank you for teaching and making these videos bro thank you I love you bro...gods with you
I’m a Mormon and I’ve been questioning my beliefs for about 2 years now, especially since now I’m 18 and I should be making an important decision (the LDS church has men as young as 18 go on missions to preach the gospel). This video has been a nice way to open my mind, thank you. When/if I convert, I’m heavily considering Baptist
Joseph Smith and every LDS prophet since him have preached a gospel of “do,” negating the gospel of “done” that Jesus preached and was. The LDS church is all about what it and its members must still do and be if they want to live with God (and be a god) one day.
The true church is all about proclaiming what Christ has DONE to make us right with God now for all eternity. It’s a certainty.
Jesus Christ canceled the record of debt that was held against us when He shed his blood, on the cross, died and rose again. All you need to do is accept Christ by faith. It isn't because of who you are and what you must do for God. It is because of who God is and what He did for you in sending Jesus to be the sacrificial offering for your sins. To be your substitute on the cross and to satisfy the demands of God's law that stands against you.
Christ has done the one work that was necessary to reconcile you to God. Christ has done the one act of righteousness that could bring justification and life to all men. All Christ is asking with open arms is for you to lay down your religiosity and works at the foot of the cross and allow Christ to take it.
Salvation is quite simple.
Luke 18 And He also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt:
10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11 The Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself: ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
12 I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.’
13 But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, the sinner!’
14 I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Jesus said, "Take up your cross and follow me." Jesus is the good Shepherd. Jesus will never let you down.
John 10:27-29
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
Micah Wilder read the New Testament twelve times on his mission.
Here is what happened.

God bless you.
Reformed Baptist is closest to scripture. imo
@@jlewis8145 Thank you!
To have forgiveness of sin and God’s gift of eternal life in the presence of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, is through faith and trust in Jesus Christ of the Bible only and not through any church or ritual or rules, that includes the Mormon Church, Jehovah’s Witnesses Church (Kingdom Hall), Catholic Church, Lutheran Church, Protestant Church, Methodist Church, The Pentecostal Church, Baptist Churches, Russian Orthodox Church, Jewish synagog or temple, Islam, etc. Jesus said, “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” (Romans 3:23)
“For the wages of sin is death; but THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST our Lord” (Romans 6:23)
It is written, “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)
Jesus said, “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” (John 17:3)
Jesus said, “…know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32)
@sethwright8870 - will be praying for you. Have you read Micah Wilder’s book Passport to Heaven? It’s good and may help you on your journey. Also, don’t worry so much about which denomination to join. The main thing is that you have a personal relationship with the Jesus of the Bible. God bless!
This is amazing. I desperately wish my Mormon family would watch this video. They won't listen to me, but only close their ears. God Bless and Thank You!
Not to say you're the fool, but you are, and have clearly never read the passages he's referencing which contradict himself no less than 8 different occasions.
praying for your family to get saved
Hands down best video ever explaining the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ to Mormons. Your videos are such a blessing.
This video is a lie. He didn't actually tell a single truth
I know how you feel! When Pope Jeff speaks I just get goose bumps all over my body. WHAM BAM THANK YOU POPE JEFF AND JESUS! I'M SAVED, OH LORDY I'M SAVED! Take the time to find the real truth.
Lauren Barney If you want to know the truth about the church ask an active member and honestly read the Book of Mormon
naya go to the source. Always best.
@@hayteren What specifically did Durbin lie about. He quotes verses and explains the Christian view of salvation. Again, where is the lie?
Please do more of these videos so we can learn more and be encouraged and used by God to preach the truth in love to those bewitched by all of this.
I listening to your preaching with the music in the background, it like a smooth whiskey going down, but it will rot your soul.
Thank you so much for the Bible verses listed here! They have launched a deep dive Bible study for me and my family. God bless. hallelujah and amen!!!
Praise the Lord! Awesome testimony paster, and so right! I was saved from Mormonism many years ago. A dear paster cared enough to be a witness of the Christ 1 evening. I was raised in another, Bible believing, faith.
But converted to Mormonism around 12. Left the cult around 17. Then saved at 23. Praise God! There are so many false teachings in Mormonism. Folks, these people NEED OUR PRAYERS! They are truly lost souls. Please keep this paster and his ministry in your prayers as well!
The way that this cult is set up, it encloses your ENTIRE life! Everything is tied to some aspect of the cult. They make you feel like there is no life outside of it! There's the cult, then there's the rest of the world. You just CAN'T be happy in the outside world, that's they want you to believe. That's what they tell people!
There are rules for EVERYTHING in this cult! That's how they control you. From what your allowed to eat/drink, to who (and how) you marry! They brainwash you. And, if you don't fallow the program, your treated as "not good enough"! I saw it happen!
These folks are VERY sincere in their beliefs. Even though the Bible proves them wrong, they are so brainwashed that they truly can't see the light!
"Just read the Bible"! Yes, but they've been told that its not been "properly translated"! So that they should ONLY believe what their leadership tells them about it! And looking for your own answers is highly discouraged here! They even tell the members to ONLY use offical "church" sources.
Why NOT look at other references? Because they know that you'll learn the truth, and just may leave! Keep in mind, this is also a $100+ billion buissness as well!(yep, with a "B"!) Did you know that the top leaders get 6 figure pay for their "service"? Really? When did running a "church" become a professional level job? They recently got in trouble for HIDING that wealth FROM THE MEMBERSHIP as well! Just some things to think about. Praise God!
God bless Jeff ❤
Thank you Jeff for your love of our Lord
Thank you for your boldness and Love Jesus and the gospel according to the Bible.
I was speechless and I was so close be a Mormon on may 1rst I was suppose to be baptized and I got in a car accident that day and was scheduled to be baptized again on June 21rst but I was not comfortable with it because I didn’t know what to do I was lost but god definitely spoke truth to me and saved me and I was thankful for my neighbors to be my past highschool youth pastors who’ve been there for me since I was 14 they showed me this video and they’re still there for me now I’m a proud Christian playing for worship for a Christian church. I was being fed lies by my missionaries and started accepting those lies but in God’s words the lies weren’t true I’m so thankful for my pastors being there for me and saving me out of it these Christian pastors all saved me and helped me out of it I’m thankful for them.
I just want you to know apologiaradio. I have watched this video about 2 dozen times and there isn’t a single time that I don’t tear up. Thank you for the great message
I pray the Lord helps me witness to my good doctor Mormon friend.. I had the opportunity to talk to him about his faith last week when he came to me venting about his marriage and how basically he’s unhappy… I keep praying perhaps he softens him heart again. He told me he had fallen out of the faith but since it’s a cult obviously went straight back after a “podcast” ..
Pastor Jeff, you are a witnessing encouragement to me. I am not a Calvinist (I am a Molinist), but I see you as a brother and a powerful instrument of the Lord...and an example to the Church in many wonderful ways. The Lord is using you mightily and I will pray for your health, strength, and the power of the HS on you as you spread the Gospel.
My heart hurts for my lds friends. I know that It’s Gods will to change their hearts, but I fear they will never soften their hearts enough to give this a chance. I just want my friend to open up to the idea that it’s possible
Pray for them, preach them the Gospel. We plant the seed but it's up to God make it grow. U just do as Jesus commanded us all,"Go and preach the Gospel to every creature". God bless you my friend.
Ex mormon here
I am LDS and my heart is soft! I have a relationship with Jesus Christ! I am not "earning " heaven but learning heaven! If we were an evil cult as you say I would never feel His presence at church, but every week when I partake of the sacrament I feel His love and mercy!!
Thanks pastor Jeff. This message is what brought me out of the religion of Mormonism and into a a relationship with Jesus the living Christ. It not only brought me but a family of 8, and counting. Praise God for your willingness to preach his good news.
That is so encouraging. Praise the Lord.
I just learned about this church last month, praise be to God of our Lord Jesus Christ,Who bless us His Word n thank pastor Jeff,only in dis teaching u hv coded +-32 biblical scriptures, that's amazing God bless you
Fantastic message, as a ex Mormon, he is 100 % right, I have always loved the Bible teachings, but lost my way when a Mormon, as it just niggled at me, there was something quiet not right, and after studying and knowing that the LDS church was not for me, I was a lot happier when I decided to leave, But Hearing Pastor Jeff Durbin speak, it is like Wow, opened a lot of meaning and understanding, thank you, for making the gospel come alive again for me.
