Just a random thought! Why is it easy to belief someone can say “I am legion” being one body with a thousand demonic spirits but the trinity is beyond comprehension for some that 3 spirits can be One God? He is formed(the literal body of Christ) as one God and none shall be after! It baffles me that 1,000 in one makes sense but no way 3 in 1 does! 💁🏼‍♂️ The Son of Man will be revealed at His second coming as a Father, Son, Holy Spirit but because Gods spirit is infinite and proceeds from the Father it can cover ALL who believe in His son Jesus Christ.

He was a terrible Bishop if what you say is true. Bishops encourage searching for the truth.

@@Jdaniel2000us He honestly believed, and counseled, that troubling truths should simply be ignored. I think that’s the way he limped through his own doubts.

@@Jdaniel2000us Through the white-washed sources approved by the church. If you seek truth outside of the LDS church, you're going to be deceived.

He didn't say to "stop seeking truth". Those are your words, not his. Another ex-mo story embellisher here. My bro in law is a speaker at ex-mo conferences and has been a pathological liar since he was a teenager. He makes up shocking stories about Bishops too and claims to people that he was a Bishop, but was barely a councilor in a tiny Branch Presidency for a short time. For a long time he pretended to be a devout Mormon for the sake of trying to look good. Eventually after years of cheating on his wife the truth has come out and thankfully they are divorced. My point? you can't believe everything an Ex-Mo says is anymore accurate than anyone else. People on every side of the fence change the words and give a different impression for their own personal agenda. "troubling truths" is a contemporary anti-Mormon phrase, he didn't say that phrase in 1978, those are also your words. People often change words a bit and claim they are honest even though those words changes illustrate a completely accounting of the interaction than what really happened.

@@beheadedforthewitnesofjesu3445So.. which of the “thousands” of Biblical truths is Apologia missing?

@jasongriffin4475 That's just a myth with no fact to back it up. You would have to give evidence to buttress your claim and not a common myth. The problem you fail to see is even if you listen to a modern day prophet, you still go to the bible you claim to be altered to confirm its validity, unless your prophet is your Bible and is the authority you hold dear to. But if you validate using scriptures, then you really don't need the prophecy, you just need to read your Bible more. And if you are in the hunt for fresh prophecy, it's a dark road. I would suggest you not go down on, the Bible is sufficient and if you think its false, you have no standard for the Christian life we are called to live.

I was just about to comment this.😂

Wrong. Again. David was sent apologia links by his evangelical friends when he was investigating the church. It was the dishonest tone of what he saw, in contrast to the church and missionaries teaching him, that made him respond. Apologia, because of their tactics, pushed David toward the church of Jesus Christ and he now has towards 250 videos out there. He is a machine. Apologia can take a lot of the credit.

​@@anonanon2396why are you afraid to use your name? Why are you hiding. Is it because you know you are not being truthful?

@@bricksandconcrete Clearly you are not encouraged to do any of that. There are many instances I have seen across the LDS where they say not to interact with people trying to point out the flaws and contradictions with the Bible in Joseph Smith’s teachings. LDS follows a false prophet, it’s as simple as that and he is leading thousands to hell. That’s why it’s a cult. I am glad you are searching truth out. And I pray you run as far away from LDS as possible and actually read the word of God, not Joseph Smith.

I’ve been a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for 29 years and have never heard leadership ever tell me not to listen to someone that was trying to persuade me that that the gospel was false. Not sure where this “Cult” ideology ever came from? 🤔🤔🤔

And this is why people shouldn't make content like this! I'm LDS and I wouldn't listen to this guy. He's horrible! And does not speak in a way that our leaders say we should!

JWs do the exact same thing. Nearly weekly, they are telling the congregations to not listen to anything that contradicts, especially from former members or the media. I think it's in Pennsylvania the congregations are probably in a frenzy.

Then you must be in a cult.

Ah so you were the one that helped convince him he did want to join us by sending that video. Nice

@@lukehanson_no I don’t think so. I have known David for more than three years. He had already made up his mind to turn even further from the truth of the gospel and Scripture to follow the LDS teaching that damns souls to hell.

@@awatchman-um7vy I think I'll use The Holy Bible for this example. KJV / NKJV 1- The true church must have a foundation of Apostles and Prophets. Ephesians 2:19-20 2- Christ organised the church & the true church must have the same organization as Christ's church. Ephesians 4:11-13 3- The true church must bear the name of Jesus Christ. Ephesians 5:23 4- The true church must claim divine authority . Hebrews 5:4-10 5- The true church must have no paid ministry . Isaiah 45:13 1 Peter 5:2 6- The true church must baptise by immersion. Matthew 3:13-16 8- The true church must bestow the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands. Acts 8:14-17 9- The true church must practice divine healing. Mark 3:14-15 10- The true church must teach that God and Jesus are separate and distinct individuals. John 17:11 John 20:17 11- The true church must teach that God and Jesus Christ have bodies of flesh and bone. Luke 24:36-39 Acts 1:9-11 12- Officers must be called by God. Exodus 28:1, Exodus 40:13-16 13- The true church must claim revelation from God. Amos 3:7 14- The true church must be a missionary church. Matthew 28: 19-20 15- The true church must be a restored church.

And so he seemed to imply anyone (other than a Mormon) who is certain and solid in his faith is arrogant and not worth reaching out to.

Putting false words into someone’s mouth is…dishonesty.

@@anonanon2396 I am just curious. What false words did he put into someone's mouth??

It is wonderful that you express your opinions in a loving way. That is how we should always communicate our disagreements. However, and very unfortunately, you are not a spiritual brother to Jeff. You do not believe in the one true God. Jesus Christ has taught us about all of the mysteries that we need to know about in order to be saved and born again. You’ve been misled onto the broad road to hell and I am praying for you and those like you with all of my heart. I know many people in false Christianity and my heart breaks for them all, especially when they talk as if they are saved when their beliefs are going to be the cause for Jesus telling them on judgement day, “Depart from Me you worker of iniquity, for I never knew you!” And they will yell things like, “But Lord, we did this in your name…” There’s a reason Jesus told us that. Please ask Him to help you to understand His truth.

Here’s what I don’t get - any LDS person who ever comments on these videos is very kind and respectful, and all we get in return are comments on how we are on the road to hell. Christ himself was called a blasphemer by religious leaders of his time…and I am happy to align myself with him.

@@mycatwould Hi, just saw the same happening under David Alexander's video when a former LDS believer very kindly and respectfully commented there. Probably the only one, that was not commenting how great and right David Alexander was. David Alexander's response? "Fire and brimstone". Just writing this to state that this happens everywhere, to kind and respectful LDS believers commenting and to kind and respectful non LDS believers commenting. I do not judge you about being a true brother in Christ or not. I cannot see into your heart and I do not know what / in whom you truly put your trust in for you spending eternity in the presence of God. If you trust in the atonement provided by Jesus Christ alone for this because you recognise that you need Him dying in your place, bearing your sin---and that following Him is a consequence of being inhabited by the Holy Spirit, who transforms you into being more and more like Jesus Christ, than I believe you to be a brother in Jesus Christ. If you believe that one needs the LDS Church to be a mediator to the mediator so to speak (a similarity with the Catholic Church) to be with the Father forever than this is a different gospel. Please read what the criminal crucified next to Jesus Christ had to do to be with Him: Believe that He was, who He said He was and that he himself was crucified because he was guilty but that Jesus Christ was not. (See that man s conversation with Jesus and the other criminal). Lots of Christian love to you!

@@chriscross5188 The beauty of Christ’s atonement was that it saves all from physical death through his resurrection. Spiritual death is also overcome through His sacrifice, as the unblemished lamb on our behalf, on conditions of our repentance. Faith in Jesus Christ and baptism, however are specifically required for Salvation. When Jesus told the thief he would be with him that day in paradise - he could not be implying his eternal state, as the judgement is not happened yet. He was instead referring to the spirit world where he and the Saviour would soon be entering. There is so much more wonderful insight that has been given by the Lord through his prophets over the past 180+ years that helps explain and understand so much more - but until one is willing to accept that God is not finished speaking to His children and once again, as in ancient times, speaks through His chosen prophets, any reply I make will likely be shrugged off. I don’t blame anyone for this. I was born into this church - and feel extremely blessed to have been, as I wonder sometimes if I would have been humble enough to seek it out on my own, or have been receptive to the message if delivered to me with any pre-conceived notions I may have had. More in my young adult ride and on (I’m in my mid 40’s now), I have studied scripture, fasted, prayed, and practiced to my religion as best as a fallible man can, and repented daily - as not a day has passed that I didn’t need forgiveness and the Lord’s grace to help keep me on the path.

@@mycatwould Dear Mike, please clarify for me: I understood my LDS friends in the following way: Only those that will go to the celestial kingdom are in spirit paradise until the judgement that comes at Christ's return. The others are in spirit prison, where they can get the offer of baptism, if LDS people have been baptised on their behalf and thus get also the chance to go to the celestial kingdom after the judgment. Did I get that right?

Southern Baptist liberalism? What? This is the first I’ve heard of this, what happened?

As a Reformed Baptist who is a member of a church that is in association with the SBC, the entirety of the convention is not liberal, my church certainly is not, praise God. However, if the church you were a member of is indeed becoming liberal and you can’t locate another SBC church that is biblical and faithful to Christ, I will pray you locate a gospel centered fellowship brother!

There are some individual churches within the SBC that have gone woke & not held true to the bible but to say that the whole SBC is liberal is a gross overstatement. The SBC just kicked out Saddleback Church (Rick Warren's church!!) for it's liberalism!

@CP-dk8oi due to liberalism?

@CP-dk8oi I can see that. I thought you were referring to the liberal churches leaving. My church has said if it gets too bad, we would also part ways. But now isn’t that time. It is sad though.

@jmjm4860 I agree completely. I started here on you tube back in 2007 because I came across so many people saying words like... "Secrets that the Mormons don't want you to know about." I would answer... well that is untruthful. How did you find out the secrets they didn't want you to know about?? These things you call secrets and just things we find sacred. And people who are non believers in our faith...don't understand that when we share things that are sacred... and then we watch people do exactly what Christ said they would do. He said this when gave the Sermon on the Mount: 6 ¶ Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. For some reason... the words chosen here did not feel very upsetting. So I looked up what rend means. rend verb verb: rend; 3rd person present: rends; past tense: rent; past participle: rent; gerund or present participle: rending tear (something) into two or more pieces. "snapping teeth that would rend human flesh to shreds" h Similar: tear/rip apart tear/rip in two tear/rip to pieces split rupture sever separate cleave tear/rip asunder sunder rive dissever archaic wrench (something) violently. "he rent the branch out of the tree" literary cause great emotional pain to (a person or their heart). "you tell me this in order to make me able to betray you without rending my heart" Now I understand why it is not so wise to share things that are sacred.

@@MrNirom1 so Racism murder and pologamy are sacred? Go away with your nonsense. Oh btw the darling of your church spent years in the 12 tribes cult. I knew he needed his head tuned up.

Can you explain why the Book of Mormon has a lot of New Testament scripture and verse that make seem like you are reading the Bible. When during that time the New Testament wasn’t even written yet, that way speaking or language or certain words weren’t even a thing yet. I’ve been studying it myself and keep reading it. The Bible says to show that you are studying and know His word. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15! If we study and study it and something still doesn’t seem right and doesn’t add up to scripture. The Lord tells what to do with that, to test and or rebuke it. As a Christian the more I study and read the Book of Mormon and D&C and Pearl of Great Price they all seem nice and have good words but something still appears confusing and fishy. God is not the author of confusion And it’s seem to me, the I read them, makes seem like they were around before the Bible, and some parts of the Word of God are false. But we know as Christians, that the Bible is the Word of God and sharper then any two edge sword.. that’s why it offends people and make them uncomfortable when you try to compare it to anything else!

could you use that same argument on your church leaders?

Could you clarify what you’re referring to?

@@mycatwould can a member of the LDS church openly refute a revelation of a LDS church leader because it contradicts the Bible. Like how Jesus refutes the religious leaders of his day.

Members are indeed entitled to their own opinion, and indeed we are encouraged to gain a personal witness of anything that is taught. Here’s the thing - unless you can get on board with the LDS church being the restored church of Jesus Christ, led by Him, none of this will make sense to you. God speaks through his chosen leaders. Jesus was told he was breaking the Mosaic law in many cases; but went on to explain the law - and later that he would fulfill the law, and as we know, even changed the law. Before him, (after Moses) only the Levites were allowed hold the priesthood. After Jesus, the priesthood was given to all worthy men, including his apostles. The Mosaic law said gentile people were unclean. After Peter’s vision, God showed him that the gospel was to go to the gentiles. The Lord governs his church - not the other way around. Have LDS leaders said things that need to be questioned? Absolutely. Doctrine never changes, but policy will as is needed, but only after unanimous agreement from the First Presidency and Quorum of the 12 Apostles, who will have each received personal witness from the Lord. So yeah, they can be questioned or refuted - but I can guarantee the wisdom, experience, and direction of these 15 men, who have no personal agenda - as there is no selfish gain for them (most have left successful and lucrative careers to serve the Lord full-time, and receive a living allowance for their time, which is less than my brother makes as a school teacher) is going to be hard for me to even want to refute with only my own logic. But I can also tell you this - the Lord will NEVER let his leaders lead his church astray.

@@mycatwould Jesus was given authority over heaven and earth, even the authority over Sabbath wich the Pharisees said he broke but also broke in secret. Now Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 4:6 to not go beyond what is written and Jesus condemns the Pharisees for upholding tradition over scripture in Matthew 15. Now if a church leader speaks against what is written and exalts as high as Gods revaluation are they held accountable. The point I'm making is that the Mormon leadership has spoken revaluation and prophecies in Jesus name that contradicts his words. Then there's a revelation that contradicts the previous revaluation for the conveniences of the new generation.

I served from 89-91 (similar time). Where did you go?

@@dallinpolson3218 quakers on the moon, for starters

The problem is that they will disregard the Bible when it bumps against their faith. They'll likely say "that part hasn't been translated correctly" or say it means something else; because they're taught it means something else (I'm an ex-Mormon). One conversation won't make them see. They're programmed with cult programming and it's very difficult to break it. (See Steven Hassan's BITE model)

@danvan2683 Well it might be that way for you... but I would disagree: Objective thinking is based around a set of logical, goal oriented standards. Subjective thinking is solely based on an individuals perspective, feelings, & thoughts for a product. LDS beliefs are NOT SOLEY based on feeling and thoughts for a product. Unless that product is the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. The one things that Christians do not have is the words of Jesus Christ in these the last days before his 2nd coming. You only have his words of 2000 years ago. The light and knowledge they contain are based around a set of logical, goal oriented standards. Standards that Jesus Christ has given to us. There is no doubt that when touched by the Holy Ghost, it can bring on extreme feelings. Why if you have not read in the Bible how that works... here is an example: 30 And it came to pass, as he (Jesus) sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. 31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. 32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? So.. it seems others have even had a subjective thought concerning Christ.

The Bible does not teach to be true to yourself based on your experience. Quite the contrary, actually. Jesus calls us to deny ourselves and to obey His word in spite of our experience. When one is true to himself, anything goes and you lose all foundation for truth. When one is true to Christ and Him alone, the Bible alone is the objective standard for truth and life.

A personal euphoric experience can happen in satanism, it could happen in santeria. If truth is based on personal experience then who is right?

He is duped by satan

Mormon's claim to read the Bible and the Book of Mormon which contradict one another. If 2 things contradict one another that means using plain logic that one is right and the other is wrong. Then you need to find who you trust Joseph Smith who's arrest wrap sheet is quite lengthy and is know to be a liar and a false prophet or all the historical evidence of scripture.

Nope lol

@@dahokage1043 Yep.... it does. Christ in person out weighs Apostle 2000 years ago.

To: @jenniferhwaddington Re: Brother David Alexander YOU ASKED Honest question: how did this gentleman rise to influence in the LDS circle if he’s newly converted? ABEL In compliance with a self-imposed rule of full disclosure: I am an adult convert to the Church of Jesus Christ. . When you join the Church, you join a family. He is not influencing the circle; he is part of the circle. Nevertheless, I would attribute Brother Alexander's "success" to Brother Alexander. Members like him. That's all there is to it. . He is a fresh break from all the academics, endless debates, and contention. He breaks the chains of the devil with the power of his testimony ... and with his mastery of the scriptures and his ability to judge the tree by its fruit. and with pure love. . Many of us were just like him before we became members. Brother Alexander reminds so many of us of what it was like when we were first born again and we rejoice with him ... and he loves us and we love him. And he plays guitar and sings ~ and who doesn't like that :) . peace

Until David comes clean about his past, I have no interest in David Alexander or what he has to say.

Agreed. He acts like a used car salesman.

I believe he was making a comment about the other Pastor Jeff’s video that he watched.

I left Mormonism in 2023. I now attend the Assemblies of God church.

Does hello saints view Mormons as Christian’s? Is he converting ?

@@ProtestantKing7 I've heard him say Mormons and Christians have a lot in common. The only thing that I see we have in common is our vocabulary but they use a different dictionary. They have a different Jesus, a different God, a different Holy Spirit and a different Gospel. If you haven't watched him, I would recommend it. Something is definitely amiss. I have a friend who is exmo and has a KZfaq channel and she has not been able to find anything out about the church that he allegedly pastored.

I think that's true of mainstream Mormonism in general these days. They all call themselves Christian unfortunately.

@@beheadedforthewitnesofjesu3445 Your comment says everything we need to know about you. Repent and come to Jesus.

@@beheadedforthewitnesofjesu3445 I’ve seen you post a few of these comments. How can you say that when, as this poster says, Christians and Mormons have different definitions of Jesus, God, Holy Spirit, Gospel, as well as afterlife, and more distinctions. Especially when looking at Joseph Smith’s writings and justification for beginning Mormonism, that all the other churches are false… Christian’s and Mormon’s do not have the same beliefs. Please explain your point.

To: @mr400meter Re: The Book of Abraham I am a convert to the Church. The truth about the Church and the Book of Abraham starts with a testimony of the Holy Spirit that God lives and Jesus is the Christ. Nevertheless, here is a small sampling of the academic research that is being done on the subject: The idolatrous Gods of Libnah, Korash, and Mahmakrah have been identified as Gods worshipped by ancient Mesopotamians. Along with the commentary of scholars below, Hugh Nibley has shown how the names of these deities would be associated with the canopic jars depicted here in his book "An Approach to the Book of Abraham". Michael Rhodes: The names of the idolatrous gods mentioned in facsimile 1 provide another example of the validity of the Prophet Joseph’s explanations. If Joseph Smith had simply made up the names, the chances of their corresponding to the names of ancient deities would be astronomically small. The name Elkenah, for example, is clearly related to the Hebrew ttt ‘el q?n?h/ q?neh “God has created / the creator.” Elkenah is found in the Old Testament as the name of several people, including Samuel’s father (see 1 Samuel 1:1). The name is also found as a divine name in Mesopotamian sources as dIl-gi-na / dIl-kí-na / dÉl-ké-na. Libnah may be related to the Hebrew leb?n?h “moon” (see Isaiah 24:23) from the root l?b?n “white.” A city captured by Joshua was called libn?h (see Joshua 10:29). The name Korash is found as a name in Egyptian sources. A connection with K?reš the name of the Persian king Cyrus (Isaiah 44:28), is also possible.

@@harryabelpotter9630 We feel sad for our Mormon friends and family who are tricked into believing lies that serve only to scratch the itches of their unregenerate ears. That is why we witness day and night.

To: @@BrendonKing Re: THE CHURCH OF J E S U S C H R I S T of Latter-day-Saints . The Church of Jesus Christ is 100% God's Church. The Church of Jesus Christ is 100% God’s Gospel Truth. . Latter-day Saints are true Christians; their worship is the pure, unadulterated Christianity authored by Christ and accepted by Peter, James and John and all the ancient and modern apostles and prophets of God. The religious beliefs and practices of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are Christianity. Christianity and the Church are one and the same thing; and, they cannot be distinguished from each other in even the slightest detail. . Our message and testimony to you is that God continues to guide His children today through living prophets, and we also testify that the Church of Jesus Christ has been restored to the earth. Like the original church, the restored church of Jesus Christ is directed by twelve apostles and a living prophet. Speaking about the Church, Jesus said, “[It is] the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth, with which I, the Lord, am well pleased.” . RE: Protestantism . Protestantism is the religion of the reformation. Protestantism was started by men who understand that the Roman Catholic Church is not the one true church but rather that Catholicism is apostate and heretical. Protestant churches are the result of the efforts of men like Martin Luther & Calvin to return the church to its primitive roots by reformation. . RE: Non-denominational Christianity & Independent Christianity . Non-denominational Christianity historically rejects confessionalism and, or creedalism, but for the main part follows Evangelical Protestantism. . Independent Christianity, is the ideal of worshiping God according to the dictates of our own conscience; where each person is called to diligently search out the Scriptures to see whether what they are taught is true or not; and, where every man, woman, and child has a God-given 'Right of Private Judgment.' . RE: The Principle or Right of Private Judgment . Private Judgment, regarding the subject of religion, is defined as the reaching of a conclusion when searching the scriptures on the basis of personal thought and insight unhindered by political or ecclesiastical interference. . There are two types of independent and non-denominational Christians. The Two Types: PTL & Private Judgment . (I) PTL, Personal Transformational Leader … (leader with a charismatic personality) … PTL worship is religion where You follow a leader, and the leader you follow can be yourself & you can be a religion or church of one. . (II) Private Judgment … Private judgment worship is religion where We search the scriptures and discern the word for ourselves ~ without a PTL but there always is a leader, even if the leader is you, yourself ~ even if your religion or church consists only of one person ~ you. . RE: so ...What Type of Christian Are You? . 1. Are you Catholic, Orthodox, or Protestant? … If so … which denomination are you? 2. Are you a non-denominational Christian or an Independent Christian? 3. If you are non-denominational or independent ~ Do you follows a leader with a charismatic personality? (for example: Minister Joyce Meyer, Televangelist Paula White, Victoria Osteen, Pastor Juanita Bynum) 4. If you are non-denominational or independent ~ Do you follow the principle of Private Judgment? FYI: Private Judgment is the right to follow the dictates of our own conscience based on reading and studying the Holy Bible. 5. Are you an ex-member of the Church of Jesus Christ? 6. Are you a professional religious scholar? 7. Are you clergy? … If so, by name, what type of clergy are you? For example: Are you a pastor, priest, deacon, minister? 8. or, Are you a lay member of the congregation? 9. Do you have a ministry of any type? If so, what type of ministry do you have? For example: Are you a worship service leader or a class teacher or do you cut grass? 10. Is your ministry a paid vocation … or … Is your church service voluntary? .

You have spoken absolute unbiblical ignorance and have showed why you have been snared into this 100% ungodly, false, manmade cult. Repent!

You are describing a cult.

@bigga5406 It is hard to debate about a book like the Bible that has been re translated already correcting the errors of the past. Anytime I am reading the Bible I pay close attention to the footnotes to see if it has a JST. If it does... I always read that first so that I don't swallow the changes that the Church Father's made to the book.

He initially agreed to discussed the Gospel Topics Essay "The Translation and Historicity of the Book of Abraham" but then suddenly changed his mind and ignored my emails to him when he asked me to email him.

@@mr400meter that's because addressing any of the Gospel Topics Essays is too risky because of the exposure of the lies of Mormonism and its corrupt foundation (I'm ex-Mormon, lol)

What's wrong with saying every church is wrong except one?

You can say it all you want to but that doesn't make it so- also- if you're going to say it, be prepared for backlash of some kind, like others saying your church is wrong. @@ramsrnja

@@ramsrnja the reason its wrong is because he's condemning 2000 years of Christianity. Mormonism teaches heresy.

@lcwalker2920 No one is condemning Christianity or followers of Christ through the ages. We simply believe that someone's relationship with Christ must also involve formal ordinances and covenants, like baptism, done with legal Priesthood Authority, which can then be ratified and sealed by the Holy Ghost.

@@ramsrnja according to smith he was told all the creeds of every existing church were an abomination and all the professors were corrupt I call that condemning.

Because David Alexander refuses.

I am sorry to hear that. I love listening to Pastor Jeff and Dr White. I believe they are Godly men. Bless you 🙏

To: @@andreatimmers1720 ... They are indeed academics. Pastor White has always prided himself as the greatest and most experienced debater of all Evangelicals. Pastor Jeff has visited colleges and deals in philosophy and so he also dabbles in a little bit of that particular brand of black magic. I am sure that when they are not in academic, debate mode that they can also say something uplifting for you because you agree with them. But for those of us who believe in Free-will, Predestination is not uplifting. And I am sorry to hear that you don't understand why predestination is antithetical to an all merciful God. ... peace

@@harryabelpotter9630 ,....Those of you who believe in (have been deceived by) the 100% false manmade freewill gospel are those who are completely Biblically illiterate. You are all the accursed of God, the spiritually dead and blind. Repent, and learn what the gospel and Christianity of the Bible actually is.

Not once, ever, does David actually approach the text. Then again, that's how Mormons tend to prefer the Bible.

One might reasonably hold the opinion that Joseph was wrong, but in the face of the documentary evidence it is dodgy at best to argue that he and his associates were insincere or that they were practicing their religion only for power and to satisfy carnal desires. Those who insist that “sex is the motivation” probably reveal more about their own limited perspective than they do of the minds of the early Saints.

@@harryabelpotter9630 Do your research please. This church is a cult. Point blank period.

Yeah, but there are multiple sects of Mormonism too... LDS, RLDS, Remnants, FLDS, Kingstons etc. All have their own prophet

These are secondary issues, we all believe in One God, Jesus Christ, crucified and risen on the 3rd day, we still all believe salvation comes through him by grace resulting in good works and a changed life, the necessity of repenting and having a personal faith in Christ, and of course His return to earth. I’m sorry but I have plenty in common with brothers and sisters in Christ across many denominational lines even as we work out and wrestle with these doctrines which have mystery. Now Mormonism teaches God is not the One and Only but one of a zillion gods, isn’t this a weightier issue in your mind?
