This is actual footage from outside of the Mormon Easter Pageant at the Temple in Mesa, Arizona. Pastor Jeff Durbin of Apologia Church/Radio/TV spoke with a young Mormon couple about God and the Gospel. This is a fantastic conversation to share with the Mormons in your life. Apologia produces these videos so that Mormons can hear the Gospel and so that Christians can be encouraged and equipped to share their faith and create relationships with their Mormon neighbors.

I had a man much like Jeff listen to the discussions during my Mormon mission. God used the Truth and the man's gentle demeanor to show me the fallacies of what Joseph Smith taught and established. Praise Jesus for saving me from nearly 30 years of Mormonism!

@107964978632468172820 No, I endured 30 years of the Mormon cult (including a mission), so I know what Mormons believe. I have now read the Bible and have many scriptures to prove that Mormonism is antichrist.

Yes but he is an elder. This couple will loose all their family connections and etc. This Ben is an elder. Pray they have the strength to walk away. The wife is so scared, she is leaning against her husband's shoulder. She grew up in the church, so she is so indoctrinated. Personal experiences again. It;'s all about the spirit. We do need fresh revelation today, and the Holy Spirit does, but it should never deny or contradict any previous revelation. I am praying for them. It often takes years for people to break free. There is such a good social network they have of belonging. Any apparent contradictions in scripture are cleared up if you study the whole of scripture. Let's keep Ben and Rachelle in prayer and hope that they will contact Jeff again and keep up the dialogue.

Ephesians is saying I didn't receive the Holy Spirit because I kept the lae but because of faith.. UNTO good works because the Holy Spirit is said to bring all things into remembrance and teach us.

Paul Gregersen The problem with the 'church in Salt Lake' is that it follows the teachings of Joseph Smith instead of the teachings of Jesus Christ.. The Apostle Paul clearly warned Christians to reject anyone that preaches any other gospel because false teachers would lead many astray. When i read the teachings of Joseph Smith and compare them to the Bible i see completely opposite messages so why should i follow the ideas of Smith?

Hey everyone! I just wanted to share some good news with you all. Let's just put it this way, the Ten Commandments are called the Moral Law. Ask yourself this. How many lies have you told? Have you ever stolen anything? Have you ever used God's name in vein? Have you ever hated someone or ever looked with lust? This is for you to judge yourself, but chances are that you are a lying, thieving, blasphemous, fornicating, adulterer at heart and you HAVE to face God on judgement day. Now ask yourself this. If God judges you on judgement day by these Commandments, will you be innocent or guilty? Of course you'll be guilty because we've all done these things. The truth is that none of us are good people and we NESD God's grace to make it to heaven. We judt simply cannot do it on our own. These Commandments arecalled the Moral Law. You and I broke the law, Jesus payed the fine. So now what we must do to be saved is to repent of our sins and trust alone in Jesus Christ! To repent doesn't mean to just say I'm sorry, but to turn from our sins and let Him truly be our Lord continually. He said that many will say to Him, Lord, Lord I have done all of these things for you. And He will say I never knew you. Depart from Me, ye who work iniquity! And those will be cast into outer darkness and raging hellfire and loneliness for all of eternity!!! Because we broke His law, He is very, very just to send us to hell. If someone had murdered 4 people and said to the judge, I've done nice things too and have tried to treat people nice but it was just one time, the judge would then say, okay but you're going to jail. And the judge is very just to do that. One last thing, if you were 10,000 feet in the air and you had to jump, you wouldn't jump out and flap your arms and try to save yourself. That's ridiculous! You would put on the parachute. It is the same with Jesus. You must trust Him as you trust the parachute. We are not good and we cannot save ourselves with our own goodness. We must trust alone in Him to save us. In just a moment of time you can pass from death to life. Jesus said, "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again." That is how we enter heaven. Through the blood and grace of Jesus Christ!!!!✝️If you ask someone how to enter Heaven, they will most likely say, "Be a good person." Well the Bible says that none is good, no not one. We like to compare ourselves to guys like Hitler and say, "Hey, I'm a pretty good guy compared to him." But when we compare ourselves to God's standard, we realize that the Bible speaks truth when it says that we all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God!!! When we see this ( our sin in its TRUE light), we see how much trouble we are in and we say, "Well then there's nothing I can do. I'm going to hell for sure then." It's true that there is nothing that WE can do, but there is something that has already been done for you! God sent His One and Only Son to die on a cross as a sacrifice for our sins! So to recieve that eternal sweet sweet forgiveness, all we must do is repent of our sins (meaning to continually turn from them and confess them) and trust alone in Christ as you trust a parachute. If I was to push you out of an airplane, you'd want the parachute for sure! Don't try to flap your arms and save yourself, trust in the parachute!! His finished work on the Cross IS ENOUGH!! He is the only way to Heaven, He said it Himself!! These other religions teach that we must he good and do good things and then maybe if we've been good enough, we will enter Heaven. But if that is true then we are all doomed to eternal hell because none of us are good. That's why this makes sense. Look at the Ten Commandments, they are written on your heart right now!! I promise that you have violated them. And you might still be doing that today.. Therefore God is just to poor out His wrath on us because we deserve it! But Christ died for us so that we can spend eternity in Heaven with Him!! Turn to Him today, and He and only He will save your soul!! "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again ( to go to Heaven)."✝️

The reason the Bible seems to contradict is found in 2 Peter 3:14-17. None of the law or prophets passes until heaven and earth do. Matthew 5. Jesus laid the example that we are to follow..read 1 John 2:3-7 to know how to make sure you know him after being reborn (John 3:3)...we aren't once saved always saved. This is why it says endure until the end to be saved and strive to enter the narrow gate that few find because many will try to enter and will not be able.

@@someoneofgods2620 most of the post modern day church is screwed up on the Law tho.. including Jeff himself. Jeff did grow up listening to Pastor MacArthur, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but John does split Gods Law into moral and ceremonial and says the moral law remains. Most pastors mimic the same words too. I just recently last year was lead to Torah and that, that’s what Christ was coming to teach and walk out. Christians today will say, they want to live more like Jesus did..but yet they throw out half of Gods Laws. It’s so silly to think Jesus came to walk out and teach His Fathers doctrine (Him and the Father are one) to have Christians say as soon as He died on the cross everything changed...🤷🏼‍♂️😆.

See the real Jesus says that's it's by grace and faith alone in Jesus that we are saved. We don't have to work our way into heaven. Let me ask you a question, what proof do you need? What is proof to you? Because God's word tops Joseph Smith. There is so much proof that Joseph Smith is a false prophet. One example is that he claimed to see Jesus, Moses, Elias, and Elijah. The funny part about that though is that Elias and Elijah are one person they aren't two different people... You'd think Joseph Smith would know that though right?

Jesus said, "Follow Me." Jesus is the good Shepherd. Jesus will never let you down. John 10:27-29 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; 28 and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. You are wise not to gamble with your soul. You are a soul. Your soul is eternal. You will spend eternity in heaven or hell. Nothing could be more serious. Read the New Testament as a child. God the Father was never once a man. God is eternal, infinite and self-existent. In order to create the universe He has to live outside of time, space and matter and be independent of it all. God is the first uncaused cause. He has always existed. Jesus existed with the Father before time began. Jesus is not the brother of Lucifer. Jesus created Lucifer. John 1:1 In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. 2 He was [continually existing] in the beginning [co-eternally] with God. 3 All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him not even one thing was made that has come into being. 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; Here is a Mormon missionary's experience.

*The true nature of God in the Bible:* John the Baptist referred to Christ as a man: “This is he of whom I said, After me cometh *_A MAN_* which is preferred before me: for he was before me” (John 1:30). The apostles referred to Christ as a man after his ascension into heaven: “Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, *_A MAN_* approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” (Acts 2:22). “Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by *_THAT MAN_* whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” (Acts 17:31). “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, *_THE MAN_* Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5). “For *_THIS MAN_* was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honor than the house” (Hebrews 3:3). “But *_THIS MAN,_* because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood” (Hebrews 7:24). “For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that *_THIS MAN_* have somewhat also to offer” (Hebrews 8:3). “But *_THIS MAN,_* after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God” (Hebrews 10:12). We also read in Philippians 2:8-9 that Christ was “found in fashion as *_A MAN”_* and that God *_“EXALTED HIM.”_* In the King Follett ddiscourse that Dave mentions, the Prophet Joseph Smith said, “God himself, the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth, the same as Jesus Christ himself did.” Jesus Christ himself said: “The Son can do nothing of himself but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. For the Father loveth the Son and sheweth him all things that himself doeth” (John 5:19-20). You might want to read that again. Christ clearly stated that he cannot do anything unless the Father has already done the same thing, and Christ stated that his Father showed him “all things” that he, the Father, has done, which means our Heavenly Father “dwelt on an earth, the same as Jesus Christ himself did.” And since Jesus Christ was in the “form of God,” when he took upon him flesh to become a man, and was then “exalted” to sit down at the right hand of the Father, then God is clearly a MAN who is “exalted.” The Biblical scriptures cited above prove without a doubt that: “God himself was once as we are now and is an exalted man . . . . God himself, the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth, the same as Jesus Christ himself did” (Joseph Smith, the King Follett Discourse, April 1844). Joseph Smith never said or implied that God was at one time “sinful.” Joseph Smith said that our Heavenly Father “dwelt on an earth, the same as Jesus Christ himself did,” and we know Jesus Christ led a sinless life so that, as the Son of God, he could atone for the sins of man. Christ was once as we are now. He was “perfected” on the “third day” (Luke 13:32) and rose from the dead with a glorified celestial body. He is now seated in heaven at the right hand of the Father. Our Heavenly Father did what Jesus Christ did, and our Heavenly Father led a sinless life when he dwelt on an earth. Yes, all the Biblical scriptures cited above tell us that “God himself was once as we are now and is an exalted man.” If you skipped reading any of them, go back and read them all. It is, after all, the Bible. And 1 Peter 5:6 states: “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God that he may *_EXALT YOU_* in due time.”

*Pray to our Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ:* “I say unto you that ye must pray always and not faint; that ye must not perform any thing unto the Lord save in the first place ye shall pray unto the Father in the name of Christ, that he will consecrate thy performance unto thee, that thy performance may be for the welfare of thy soul.” “And I pray the Father in the name of Christ that many of us, if not all, may be saved in his kingdom at that great and last day.” The Savior said to the ancient inhabitants of America, “Therefore ye must always pray unto the Father in my name; “And whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is right, believing that ye shall receive, behold it shall be given unto you. “Pray in your families unto the Father, always in my name, that your wives and your children may be blessed.” “And the twelve did teach the multitude; and behold, they did cause that the multitude should kneel down upon the face of the earth, and should pray unto the Father in the name of Jesus. “And the disciples did pray unto the Father also in the name of Jesus. And it came to pass that they arose and ministered unto the people. “And when they had ministered those same words which Jesus had spoken-nothing varying from the words which Jesus had spoken-behold, they knelt again and prayed to the Father in the name of Jesus.” “Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure.” “I am mindful of you always in my prayers, continually praying unto God the Father in the name of his Holy Child, Jesus, that he, through his infinite goodness and grace, will keep you through the endurance of faith on his name to the end.” Concerning the Book of Mormon, Moroni wrote, “And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost. “And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.” Nephi, a Book of Mormon prophet, wrote, “And if they are not the words of Christ, judge ye-for Christ will show unto you with power and great glory that they are his words at the last day; and you and I shall stand face to face before his bar; and ye shall know that I have been commanded of him to write these things.” These are just a few of the multitude of testimonies of Jesus Christ in the Book of Mormon. To learn more, contact the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to speak with the missionaries. They will bring you a Book of Mormon so that you can read it and decide for yourself if it is true. The Book of Mormon truly is a testimony of Jesus Christ and has been brought forth by the power of God in these latter days.

If your point is to deny Christ's divinity, then you've missed all biblical context, including the reason the Word became flesh (man), to be a true saviour after the declaration of Isaiah 43:10-11: "Before Me there was no God formed, And there will be none after Me. "I, even I, am the LORD, And there is no savior besides Me" John 1 makes things plain: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome[a] it. 6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. 9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God- 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. 14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."

*These are God's eternal truths:* “For there is a God, and he hath created all things, both the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are, both things to act and things to be acted upon . . . . For it behooveth the great Creator that he suffereth himself to become subject unto man in the flesh, and die for all men, that all men might become subject unto him.” “O how great the holiness of our God! For he knoweth all things, and there is not anything save he knows it. And he cometh into the world that he may save all men if they will hearken unto his voice; for behold, he suffereth the pains of all men, yea, the pains of every living creature, both men, women, and children, who belong to the family of Adam. “And he suffereth this that the resurrection might pass upon all men, that all might stand before him at the great and judgment day. And he commandeth all men that they must repent, and be baptized in his name, having perfect faith in the Holy One of Israel, or they cannot be saved in the kingdom of God.” “He denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile.” “And as I spake concerning the convincing of the Jews that Jesus is the very Christ, it must needs be that the Gentiles be convinced also that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God.” “They must appear before the judgment-seat of the Holy One of Israel; and then cometh the judgment, and then must they be judged according to the holy judgment of God . . . . O the greatness of the mercy of our God, the Holy One of Israel! For he delivereth his saints from that awful monster the devil, and death, and hell, and that lake of fire and brimstone, which is endless torment.” “O then, my beloved brethren, come unto the Lord, the Holy One. Remember that his paths are righteous. Behold, the way for man is narrow, but it lieth in a straight course before him, and the keeper of the gate is the Holy One of Israel; and he employeth no servant there; and there is none other way save it be by the gate; for he cannot be deceived, for the Lord God is his name.” “And moreover, I say unto you, that there shall be no other name given nor any other way nor means whereby salvation can come unto the children of men, only in and through the name of Christ, the Lord Omnipotent.” “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.” “For behold, did not Moses prophesy concerning the coming of the Messiah and that God should redeem his people? Yea, and even all the prophets who have prophesied ever since the world began-have they not spoken more or less concerning these things? “Have they not said that God himself should come down among the children of men and take upon him the form of man and go forth in mighty power upon the face of the earth? “And have they not said also that he should bring to pass the resurrection of the dead and that he, himself, should be oppressed and afflicted?” “For behold, my beloved brethren, I say unto you that the Lord God worketh not in darkness. He doeth not anything save it be for the benefit of the world; for he loveth the world, even that he layeth down his own life that he may draw all men unto him.” “And also that ye may believe the gospel of Jesus Christ, which ye shall have among you; and also that the Jews, the covenant people of the Lord, shall have other witness besides him whom they saw and heard, that Jesus, whom they slew, was the very Christ and the very God. And I would that I could persuade all ye ends of the earth to repent and prepare to stand before the judgment-seat of Christ.” “Behold, this is a choice land, and whatsoever nation shall possess it shall be free from bondage, and from captivity, and from all other nations under heaven, if they will but serve the God of the land, who is Jesus Christ, who hath been manifested by the things which we have written.” “And he shall be called Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father of heaven and earth, the Creator of all things from the beginning; and his mother shall be called Mary.” “But behold, I will show unto you a God of miracles, even the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; and it is that same God who created the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are.” “Repent of all your sins and iniquities, and believe in Jesus Christ, that he is the Son of God, and that he was slain by the Jews, and by the power of the Father he hath risen again, whereby he hath gained the victory over the grave; and also in him is the sting of death swallowed up. And he bringeth to pass the resurrection of the dead, whereby man must be raised to stand before his judgment-seat.” “O then, my beloved brethren, repent ye, and enter in at the strait gate, and continue in the way which is narrow, until ye shall obtain eternal life. O be wise; what can I say more? Finally, I bid you farewell, until I shall meet you before the pleasing bar of God, which bar striketh the wicked with awful dread and fear.” These are just a few of the multitude of testimonies of Jesus Christ in the Book of Mormon. To learn more, contact the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to speak with the missionaries. They will bring you a Book of Mormon so that you can find out for yourself that the gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored. The Book of Mormon truly is a testimony of Jesus Christ and has been brought forth by the power of God in these latter days.

It is so sad to see such long and convoluted reasonings trying to sell another gospel. Joseph Smith wasn't the first and won't be the last man to try to add and take away from scripture. Revelation 22 ends the way it does because Christ knew many would try to co-opt scripture for their own gain. "until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming." Ephesians 4:13-14 Matthew 24:5 For many will come in My name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many. Matthew 24:24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible.

Hey everyone! I just wanted to share some good news with you all. Let's just put it this way, the Ten Commandments are called the Moral Law. Ask yourself this. How many lies have you told? Have you ever stolen anything? Have you ever used God's name in vein? Have you ever hated someone or ever looked with lust? This is for you to judge yourself, but chances are that you are a lying, thieving, blasphemous, fornicating, adulterer at heart and you HAVE to face God on judgement day. Now ask yourself this. If God judges you on judgement day by these Commandments, will you be innocent or guilty? Of course you'll be guilty because we've all done these things. The truth is that none of us are good people and we NESD God's grace to make it to heaven. We judt simply cannot do it on our own. These Commandments arecalled the Moral Law. You and I broke the law, Jesus payed the fine. So now what we must do to be saved is to repent of our sins and trust alone in Jesus Christ! To repent doesn't mean to just say I'm sorry, but to turn from our sins and let Him truly be our Lord continually. He said that many will say to Him, Lord, Lord I have done all of these things for you. And He will say I never knew you. Depart from Me, ye who work iniquity! And those will be cast into outer darkness and raging hellfire and loneliness for all of eternity!!! Because we broke His law, He is very, very just to send us to hell. If someone had murdered 4 people and said to the judge, I've done nice things too and have tried to treat people nice but it was just one time, the judge would then say, okay but you're going to jail. And the judge is very just to do that. One last thing, if you were 10,000 feet in the air and you had to jump, you wouldn't jump out and flap your arms and try to save yourself. That's ridiculous! You would put on the parachute. It is the same with Jesus. You must trust Him as you trust the parachute. We are not good and we cannot save ourselves with our own goodness. We must trust alone in Him to save us. In just a moment of time you can pass from death to life. Jesus said, "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again." That is how we enter heaven. Through the blood and grace of Jesus Christ!!!!✝️If you ask someone how to enter Heaven, they will most likely say, "Be a good person." Well the Bible says that none is good, no not one. We like to compare ourselves to guys like Hitler and say, "Hey, I'm a pretty good guy compared to him." But when we compare ourselves to God's standard, we realize that the Bible speaks truth when it says that we all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God!!! When we see this ( our sin in its TRUE light), we see how much trouble we are in and we say, "Well then there's nothing I can do. I'm going to hell for sure then." It's true that there is nothing that WE can do, but there is something that has already been done for you! God sent His One and Only Son to die on a cross as a sacrifice for our sins! So to recieve that eternal sweet sweet forgiveness, all we must do is repent of our sins (meaning to continually turn from them and confess them) and trust alone in Christ as you trust a parachute. If I was to push you out of an airplane, you'd want the parachute for sure! Don't try to flap your arms and save yourself, trust in the parachute!! His finished work on the Cross IS ENOUGH!! He is the only way to Heaven, He said it Himself!! These other religions teach that we must he good and do good things and then maybe if we've been good enough, we will enter Heaven. But if that is true then we are all doomed to eternal hell because none of us are good. That's why this makes sense. Look at the Ten Commandments, they are written on your heart right now!! I promise that you have violated them. And you might still be doing that today.. Therefore God is just to poor out His wrath on us because we deserve it! But Christ died for us so that we can spend eternity in Heaven with Him!! Turn to Him today, and He and only He will save your soul!! "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again ( to go to Heaven)."✝️

I feel a lot of sympathy for those born into the religion. For them to become Christians, they have to risk losing friends, family, their whole community. Their whole lives are so tied up in the church. Becoming a Christian is a huge deal all by itself, it causes a lot of upheaval in everyone's lives as we turn from sin and put Jesus as the lord of our lives. To add drama on top of that is extremely difficult, it might break your parents' hearts, no one wants to do that. I don't think the shunning is as bad as it used to be, since so many have left in recent years, it would destroy too many families, but it's still a big deal, and is a big reason many of them end up staying even after they no longer really believe, it's just easier. I've noticed when he talks to couples, the women seem to be especially fast to try to shut him down, whereas the guys seem more willing to talk and listen to him. LDS women have more to lose, they are dependent on their husbands to call them from the grave on Judgment Day, their hubbies are the priesthood holders, etc. A man who stays in with a wife who leaves is in a much better position in the church than vice versa. Many LDS wives have been counselled to divorce their non believing husbands and remarry another LDS man, it's that big of a deal. I can see why they'd be so scared of him leaving if they wanted to stay. It's just sad all around, it's a religion of works and bondage, and there is such freedom in Jesus. Most of them are nice people, and it's awful they have to live like that, feeling like they are constantly failing at "doing all that they can do" or feeling judged by others, or like they never measure up to their own impossible standards. I pray this couple can find the truth and have the courage to leave, it will be hard but, of course, worth it.

That's why spreading the gospel is not coming out of judgement. If we look at all the people in the bible that God used it should be easy to see why we share our faith we know the power of God. Ben is incredibly humble , and just by the way he listens when it it conflict to his beliefs is so sweet.

Wow, and what a gamble it is. I felt the same once. I was an initiated member of a Vaisnava Hindu Temple, had a massive library of books written by temple Gurus mostly translations of ancient hindu texts with their own commentary. I had invested a decade or so into hours daily of study, prayer, and deity worship in the temple and my own home alter. Many things happened in my life that started to prove the existence of Yahwah Elohai. I knew I would look like a confused fool, and that I would have to give up the comfortable lie I had built up around myself, but I considered the fact that drove me to religion in the first place: the only certainty in life is death. And my whole life had revolved around preparing for and becoming ok with that. So when I realized I had it wrong, I swallowed my pride, repented, and changed my course. It's been a bit over a year now. I'm 36 years old.

It definitely helps to know the text and doctrines of the people you're trying to reach. But when old boy pulls out Psalm 82... You HAVE to know the Bible and the context. Love this couple. I know we can't see the hearts of men, but I really love Mormons. Such genuine people, almost always respectful(for the most part). The way they act is how I wish more Christians acted. I'd love these two to be my neighbor. God please be merciful to them.

I know so many wonderful Mormons. They are so deceived. I have had pastors who have fallen and it caused many to fall away. I came to realize that my relationship with God is a one on one thing. No middle man! I still attend church but I know we should never follow any man or woman.

Jesus Christ said, 'I am the way, the truth and the life." John 17:17 Thy Word is Truth. I enjoy a civil discussion, also. But it is hard for me to understand how anyone could worship a god that was once a man. It is logically impossible. Greek mythology of course. But we are long past that time period or so I thought.
