Did God lie in Psalm 82 when he called men that received his word gods, speaking it into existence, even if they weren't gods before? And Jesus Christ also when he used it as a defense against an accusation of blasphemy for saying he is the Son of God in John 10: 34-36? Or was Jesus Christ lying when he said that he and the Father are two separate men in John 8: 17-18? No, of course not. Nor was he lying when he said no other gods were made before or after God. For God is plural, encompassing many true gods, from multiple generations. That is the only way Hod and Jesus Christ aren't liars, destroying the Bible, and with it the Trinity. Is by having everything they say be true, still destroying the man made Trinity. You find the church that teaches this and you have the Jesus Christ of the Bible. All others teach a false Jesus Christ, and are an abomination to God. But I believe you already knew this, and have been intentionally bearing false witness.

I absolutely LOVE how Apologia cares so much for the Mormons, you can feel it…they are truly amazing disciples of Jesus Christ!🥹 We♥️love our fellow Mormon Family, I hope we all continue to pray for them & continue to share biblical truth & connect with them. They are good people & I believe most of them truly do want to know God’s truth. Let’s not give up on each other. When I was Mormon, God pursued my heart & never gave up on me, he showed me the truth because I was searching for it. Anyone truly searching for Gods truth, I promise you, God WILL show it to you, it may not be easy, but trust me, JESUS IS WORTH IT!😉 Thank you Jesus for this channel & the incredible work these men of God are doing to help bring home the lost. God is so good!💪 🙏🥹♥️ Praise Jesus! God Bless🙏♥️✝️

Be careful when listening to Calvinists, they teach one has to be regenerated before they can even hear the gospel and believe it, the epistles teach the opposite. See Ephesians 1:13. Spirtual life is when one is born again, receiving the Holy Spirit, not before one hears the gospel, which is how one receives faith, see Romans 10:17;Acts 10; Galtians 3:2 Ephesians 2:8-9.

@@JoseLopez-il4se I do read very carefully (nice insinuation that I don't though; that's called poisoning the well). Do you? I frequently go back to the original languages when I read the Bible. I think you are getting hung up on the wrong word. Ginomai is defined as the following (emphasis added by me): "Strong's Exhaustive Concordance be brought to pass, happen A prolongation and middle voice form of a primary verb; to cause to be ("gen"-erate), i.e. (reflexively) to become (come into being), USED WITH GREAT LATITUTE (literal, FIGURATIVE, intensive, etc.) -- arise, be assembled, be(-come, -fall, -have self), be brought (to pass), (be) come (to pass), continue, be divided, draw, be ended, fall, be finished, follow, be found, be fulfilled, + God forbid, grow, happen, have, be kept, be made, be married, be ordained to be, partake, pass, be performed, be published, require, seem, be showed, X soon as it was, sound, be taken, be turned, use, wax, will, would, be wrought." You notice the emphasis on the LATITUDE of it's use and FIGURATIVE meaning so that it can often be a non-literal interpretation. John is rife with figurative speech, as is Jesus and God. John also does not have a birth story. Which is probably good because the other two birth stories contradict; but I digress. The holy spirit started leading him immediately AFTER his baptism (Matt 4:1 and the ending of Matt 3, Mark 1:10-12). A strong case could be made that THIS is when the Logos was manifest in the flesh. Further even if you want to take it as his birth, it means that whatever the Logos was before Jesus' actual birth wasn't Jesus per se. So you still have a problem. See I can reconcile it being a Unitarian, I don't believe you can being a Trinitarian without making non-sensical doctrines of man. And I don't say this to be insulting (I used to believe in the Trinity). But it's simply doesn't hold up even from a scriptural basis.

@@JoseLopez-il4se And to reiterate a comment I made on the main message board. People throw out these Bible verses thinking they have proven something when in actuality they usually do the opposite and expose further problems with the Trinity (or other things they think God is or wants): John 1:1 is horribly translated. The way Trinitarians understand it, Jesus appears to be the Father! Jason BeDuhn shows the theological dishonesty of most trinitarian translators in this passage. It could be translated a number of other ways that aren't contradictory. But let's look at how the Trinitarians view it to start: In the beginning was the Word (Jesus), and the Word (Jesus) was with God (The Father), and the Word (Jesus) was God (The Father?). First off, there is no definitive article on the last theos. Meaning something closer to the NW translation is probably one of the most accurate translations. Although something like, "the word was divine" would be more appropriate as it denotes a category. Secondly, there is no punctuation in Koine Greek. So any capitalization is translators choice and often bias. They capitalize Word to make it see like a person. They often do the same with "The Holy Spirit". See my notes on that in other comments. Further, Logos can also mean PLAN (or any other number of non-personage things). So if God's plan was with him in the beginning then became manifest through Jesus, that gives an entirely different connotation as well. Neither of which denote Jesus needing to actually be THE GOD (ho theos).

@@JoseLopez-il4se So fallacy of dismissal. Also, you did not read my replies. And I don't mean that to be rude. I am just to the point where instead of trying to argue with fallacious arguments I just label them and move on. I did provide alternative word and linguistic options. If you would like me to completely spell them out for you here are a few. The NW translation: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god. You don't even need to capitalize it to denote personhood by the way. An alternative could equally be: In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God and the word was divine. As I mentioned the word Logos can also mean plan. So you could translate it thusly: In the beginning was the plan, and the plan was with God and the plan was divine. The key thing to note is there is a linguistic difference between Ho Theos and simply Theos without the article. That is clearly distinguished here. It's a very nuanced passage.

Well my testimony is that many years ago I did something aggergious against God and the church and was excommunicated back in 1996. Best thing that ever happened to me.

Jayse Ruiz The religion of the Saints is not based on scripture. Its based on revelation. These men are trying to argue squares with circles. It is easy to confuse revealed religion with scripture because revealed religion uses scripture to show that revelation through the living Apostles and Prophets is consistent with the revelations to passed Apostles and Prophets. So the saints do not get caught up nor are motivated to use scripture to defend every misuse of scripture. The fundamentals of our faith are not geared to do that.

Modern Vintage Lifestyles They listened, gave twisted explanations for the scriptures that describe the nature of God and Jesus. I emphasized the importance of relying only upon the righteousness of Christ for exaltation (the mormon term for living in the presence of Jesus and God). I told them about the peace that comes by exaltation by grace thru faith. They thanked me. On their way home they all texted me individually not send them anything that would undermine their faith or discuss religion with them ever again. One of my older relatives said that she would never look at any anti-Mormon literature after I sent a video (by Mike Winger) that explained the different definitions for the terms used by Mormons and Christians. I continue to pray for them.

acrazyeagle1 If one is too scared to see opposing views then their faith is weak. There is no writings that will shake my faith. I MET GOD THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS. ITS TOO LATE, I ALREADY HAVE EXPERIENCED TOO MUCH OF GOD ! My flesh may be fooled but the Holy Spirit in me is not! My flesh will say, “man, that does make sense” while my Spirit says,” YOU MET ME THROUGH THE GOSPEL!” WE NEED SUPERNATURAL POWER TO HAVE AN ENDURING FAITH THST CAN ONLY COME FROM GOD. We cannot generate a faith on our own that will survive . CALL ON THE LORD AND RECIEVE GRACE AND POWER FROM ON HIGH TO BE HIS WITNESS , then go and make disciples! GOD BLESS U SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH GOD.

He didn’t explain what really happened in the councils… the entire Christian faith is based on it. 2 guys have a difference of opinion and Alexander won. Making his opinion the doctrine that would be forced upon all resulting in the idea of a Trinity God and murder of any who disagreed with Alexander’s opinion. But just because he won the argument doesn’t mean he was right? The Bible doesn’t teach the trinity idea. Nor did Christ ever refer to him self that way.

My siblings, whom I love deeply, and many other people I know and care for, are still entangled.

Beautiful witness? Jeff was antagonistic. The only time Jesus went out of his way to confront people was in the temple to stop temple sacrifices/slaughtering. This was outlines in ALL the gospels and it was after this pinnacle event that the chief priests and scribes wanted him dead. Pretty much every other case of "antagonism" would be when Jesus was preaching to his disciples and the leaders CONFRONTED HIM trying to find fault in his sayings. Sounds a lot like what Jeff was doing...

I wasn’t morman growing up. I believed closer to what Jeff believes + a ton more works and law and a big splash of gobblygook. But because of my background as a young adult I would also defend what I was raised to believe. The best advice I can give to someone struggling to know the true gospel is read your Bible. Let the word become quickened to you. Stop relying on someone else’s interpretation. Romans was a good place for me to start. I see the struggle in the young man. When you have a belief system it’s like a house of cards. Remove one and it’s likely the house will tumble.

What’s up Jeff! Bro I am learning so much from you in light of defending one’s faith. I appreciate you. Keep it up! My opinion as to why so many people misinterpret scripture is due to not clearly understanding the literary genre of the narrative. They seem to think that they can interpret at face-value (literal) what is written in a poetic form such as most Psalms or Jesus’ allegories/parables... and vice-versa. This is why they are more ably able to say, “Well I have a different interpretation than you.”

There has ever been one God to the covenant people of God, and that God is the Holy One of Israel, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Beside Him there are no other Gods and shall never be any other Gods for his people of the House of Israel. The Saints preach this now and will preach it ever more. What exists in the Eternal realm has nothing to do with the revealed word that the Holy One of Israel imparts unto his prophets and apostles on Earth. The argument against the Saints for believing that we can become gods and like God the Father and Jesus Christ is fodder. The belief bears no significance to the written and preached word of the Apostles and prophets, only so far as it gives us a bit of understanding of the Eternal realm which is totally independent to our mortal realm and the scriptures that mankind possesses on Earth.

David Baker What? I was responding directly to what this guy said on the video. The Latter-day Saint tried to explain that the council helped corrupt the Church and the Reformed Baptist said it wasn’t about that “at all.” Yes, it was.

Berkey Family I don't know much about that. I was commenting on the logical comment/question at the end that stumped Stephan. If you have any reference material about the council I will check it out.

*sigh* Jeff.. once again, you're using a needed scalpel rather than a machete on a ppl whom I love and desperately want to know the truth. There are times, brother, that it is just heartbreaking for me to see the conditioning and the reluctancy to receive the truth and to know that that young man might as well be my own family. I am known as being strong, extremely politically incorrect and often hard but this... It causes me to weep as an ex-mormon w/ family still Mormon just as "conditioned" to reject the truth. This is about as emotional as I can stand to get on this subject. Mormons do such good in this world, live wholesomely ... Jeff, I know that I know this answer but I suppose I have to be reminded... Didn't Yeshua say to the Samaritan woman that she did not know God (the way an Israelite knows God); she does not know whome she worships but yet He still revealed himself to her. He still rcvd her and stayed w/ her people who rcvd Him, even in their ignorance? Could this, at all/ in any way remotely relate to Mormonism and their misconception of Yeshua? The only response I want to this question is from Jeff.

If you notice Mormonism is so appealing because it appeals to our fleshly desire (I.e. becoming a God) That’s why Mormons are willing to believe this doctrine despite the many contradiction. When Jeff provides biblical contradiction they say “it’s been translated so many times” yet they “follow” the Bible. But when it comes to sexual mortality they appeal to the Bible. How does that make sense I thought it was translated and corrupt?.

It's nice to debate and what not to provide the truth but remember there's no point to the debate if you don't get to the point,which is sharing the Gospel(the most important part)

Darso M sharing Bible verses to prove your argument right isn't going to do anything unless you get straight to the message.I advice you to watch Ray Comfort on youtube.
