Beware of any "religion" that says they hidden knowledge that you are not yet ready to digest. There is nothing hidden in Christ Jesus...and I am so thankful for that!

Just saw this video. I was raised Mormon and even went on a mission. Lost interest in the Church a couple years after my mission and basically stayed away from all religion. In the past 2 years I found Christ and the bible with new eyes and heart. I am amazed at how different it is now to actually study the Bible and follow Jesus now in my life. The more I follow Christ there is a larger division from my family who are actively involved in the Mormon denomination. Fortunately my wife and I with our kids are now learning more about Jesus and the Bible.

Reminds me of my experience growing up in a very legalistic Christian home. I didn’t truly understand grace until I was in my 50’s.

Pretty much every LDS missionary that has approached me, asked me to read the book of Mormon & then really tune into how I feel. If I feel elated, or even good/positive feelings afterward, then that's proof/confirmation from the Holy Spirit that the Book of Mormon & doctrine is the one true religion. And they very much strongly emphasis how, basically, I should focus on/depend on my feelings. Of course, we know that Yahweh warns about letting our feelings run our lives & about leaning on our own understanding.

Thanks so much, Melissa. I became Mormon in high school because I asked if they were Christian and they said yes, and I was so naive I just took their word for it. There were the nicest people there, and they were so kind to me. It was hard for me to leave. I have so much love and respect for anyone who was raised in it with family who leave. Honestly, there are still parts of the culture I miss, but there is so much pressure on people because it is VERY works based. Thanks for sharing your story and speaking truth in love. That is rare to find anywhere today.

I was born and raised in it and was raising my family in it til I fell away, and 10 yrs later am saved. It is a total mind control from birth on, using fear to keep you within its parameters of what you can and can’t think about, let alone question. You stay in the box until someone miraculously gets through to you. It truly is a miracle when God pulls us out of these kinds of situations. When you think about it, everyone has long held beliefs (not necessarily religious) that are very untrue, but if nobody challenged those beliefs, would you ever discard them?

Please pray for my mom.she has been Mormon since I was 9/10. They were very supportive to her as a newly single mom of 2 kids. I always knew it was not true.. She and I had an argument when I was 14 where I told her the religion is false. It has definitely continued to be a source of contention for us. Pray over my heart and to have the True words to say to her. My sister has definitely been indoctrinated; however she is pushing back a bit. Since I primarily went to church with my dad, who is not Mormon, I was not truly raised to be Mormon and had been exposed to the Bible before my mom converted, so I had a True foundation.

I am also a former Mormon. My brother is actually still a Mormon and is currently a bishop of the church in his Ward. One of the things that Mormons believe as part of their Doctrine is that marriage exists in heaven. Which is a direct contradiction to the Bible. The Bible says over and over again that marriage is not honored in heaven or no longer exists in heaven. When I discussed this with my brother he said that he believed as a Mormon in continued revelation. I told my brother that Jesus Christ his word is unchanging. If in the scriptures he says marriage does not exist in heaven he won't just change his mind and then now say and another book that it does exist. I said that continued Revelation would be an add-on to what he has already said not a direct contradiction. So that right there solidifies the fact that Mormon Doctrine is not based on biblical truth. Therefore should not be followed. There are many other Mormon doctrines that are also direct contradiction to scripture.

As an ex Mormon, I am so excited that the Holy Spirit is drawing people out of the Cult of Joseph Smith. I love Mormons, and it is so heartbreaking to know that so many of them will continue on their path to destruction, not ever seriously doubting what they believe!

Woahhh this gave me a heart for Mormons and understanding for how their minds work!! Thank you so muchh

Leaving Mormonism was hard. But so easy too.

I lived not far from Gainesville in the 2000's and I was always so worried about the LDS missionaries in the summer because it would get so hot. I told the ones that stopped by my home to please feel free to fill their water bottles or sit and rest in the shade even if we weren't home. If we were home I would invite them in so they could cool down a bit. I asked them if I read their literature if they could in turn read what I had. (southern Baptist), but they said they were forbidden to read other material and stopped coming to my door.

I appreciate this. It's hard to listen to as a born again believer. I was in tears trying to grasp the way to talk to people. I'm still not ready, and I am very sorry deception is so deep. Pray for me to get ready for real talks with people that believe this stuff

I have a 1924 edition of the book of Mormon....there are a lot of changes.....

The sad thing is that people do have real spiritual experiences to confirm their asking if the Book of Mormon is true and Joseph Smith was a prophet. But they are not coming from God. And if we don’t have enough knowledge of the biblical text in order to judge our experiences, we can lose our way. Jeremiah 25 is also a great chapter for Christians to be familiar with. In there God admonished us that false prophets do exist and they will speak to us “visions of their own minds, and advise us to follow our own hearts”, which is a bad plan. Jeremiah 25:17-17

Thanks for what you do and the effort you put in, Melissa.

No COFFEE??? No chance of ME getting sucked in! PS: I actually already knew that. I have a few mormon aquaintances. Everyone of them is amongst the kindest humans I've known & they are very very grounded in their beliefs. I have to keep reminding myself "You don't do the saving, Dolly! Speak lightly, then get out of God's way.!"

Thanks Melissa and Dan. I have a friend who is a Mormon and this has been so helpful to explain about their beliefs. As always Melissa your kindness and respect shine through in all your interviews. Bless you both and keep up the good work.

Loved this. I live in NM and have several Mormon friends that I’m praying for and have had wonderful opportunities to ask questions with 🙏🏼.

Melissa, you are such a great interviewer because you ask great questions and are a good listener. I enjoyed this interview and learned a lot!

Really enjoyed this....thankyou both for such eloquent discussion

The book of Abraham stuff is a huge issue that Mormons have to answer too, along with many others. I love learning about this stuff, and thanks for all the great stuff. Thank you both and God bless

I agree that we can never help another by using hate speech. I have been wrong before and I repent of hatefulness.

I’m an ex-Mormon as well. I only stayed in it for a year then left after I found out that they believed God is married and we are his spiritual babies. N that there is no hell as written in bible.

So interesting. Love your channel.💖

Thank you and God bless all of you..

I am also an ex Mormon and that Book of Mormon is what finally made me leave .i have done baptism for the dead and wore the special underwear. But there is a verse in Revelation that basically says if you add or take away from this Book you will be lost. And the fact that they believe in a works gospel I could no longer be a part of this . 8 years of these teaching was just too much There is only one book THR BIBLE And you cannot save dead people from their fate , they are dead Mormons are very nice and I felt very.comfortable with the people even though I was a person of color in an all white church . I enjoyed being around them to a point. But a heavenly mother and this Book of Mormon was just too much

Very interesting. Great interview.

New Sub. Love your channel!

Liked the interview. Perhaps the references and links talked about would be helpful to follow with the interview. Thanks you both. God continue using you to minister to the Mormons.

Well explained. Thank you.

Interesting. Very helpful. I spent a lot of time in the Salt Lake City area a couple years ago. Very nice people but didn't know how to talk to them. I'm learning so much from Dr. Heiser about the Bible. I think many Protestant churches behave just like the LDS in refusing to understand the Bible in its original ancient near east context.

This is so good!!!

God bless you guys

This was very helpful!

Sure is a big difference in what a testimony is to me!!

I just left mormanism and want to become a Christian. What do I need to do to become a Christian?

It's REALLY interesting how similar the testimony part of Mormonism is to how I thought and "defended" my faith when I was decieved by Word of Faith/New Age/Prosperity...

Very good/intelligent point at 30:30. “If I feel I’m being persecuted then my being a victim of that persecution proves what I believe is true”. That applies to every aspect of life and society, especially in our current reality. That false idea is preached, shouted from the roof tops and jammed down our throats from school age to adulthood now and it is extremely harmful. It’s not only crumbling/destroying the world but also people themselves (inside). Instead of building people up with the positive knowledge that nothing and no one can destroy you or hold you down, they’re purposely and destructively tearing people down by insisting that how ever much they feel victimized proves their own beliefs and holiness. That idea gets people nowhere, it never has. But it so easily takes root because one of our weaknesses as humans is to take the path of least resistance and to believe whole heartedly in whatever gets us the most of what we want. Destroying people in that way on such a grand scale is purely for the increase in power of the ones doing it. All you get out of it as an individual is to feel proven right or to feel that you’re winning. But what are you winning? Nothing

I love my Mormon friends. They're awesome people and I'm hoping to plant seeds and show them the truth in Jesus and our bible..

Great interview. A really good book/scrapbook to use if you’re trying to reach people of the LDS Faith is called, Witness to Mormons in Love, written by, Daniel G. Thompson. It’s an excellent guide to reaching our LDS friends and loved ones.

Very informative

Thank you 💜🌟

Hi melisa, you have a video about the dos and don'ts when it comes to sharing our faith ?

I have just recently became friends with a Mormon and we haven't had any conversations on religion yet. I grew up in a church that was very hard core on instantly debating them and not letting them into my home but I don't think that is the right approach as it seems to dehumanize another person and I'm not for that. I'm really here to understand the world of Mormonism and approach things with compassion so this is helpful. I have a question. If they are following the ways of Jesus, why do they need to see it through the lens of someone in the 1800s? I don't bank my beliefs in Jesus/God solely in what Calvin or Wesley, etc believed.

Hi Melissa. I'm not sure if you've done anything on the JW. But I would be interested to see it sometime if you ever get around to it (it's my own family's background).

Dan is awesome. Saw him on Apologia. Praise God! All religions are about DOING. As in, you have a part of your salvation. With Christ, it is DONE!

The Old Testament is ALL about Jesus Christ. The Bible is one cohesive book that can’t be separated.

Only a few minutes in and reminded yet again (as a Christian who has studied Mormonism for over 10 years) of how it's interesting that there is so much to be explained...there is so much to be learned from the Bible, but all you *really* need to know is simple. The devil deceives us using our guilt and tries to make us believe that the pathway to salvation must be complicated..."It can't be that easy."

I used to live in Mesa, Az. Its a long, narrow town going east & west that seems like 2very different towns. New aquaintances would ask me, "Do you live in MESA-Mesa or MORMON-Mesa. There is (or was, atleast) a very large LDS community in East Mesa. Its very pretty, clean, well-manicured, and the NICEST, most HOSPITABLE & GRACIOUS community of people I've ever seen, personally, in the USA. That makes it even more brutal to know that they are on a wrong path to eternal life with the one & only truin God.

Oh! Interview me. I was a Mormon that is now Christian. I still love my Mormon culture and heritage even though I now don't believe the doctrine.

There have been Mormons in my town a lot recently. I got chatting with them. They're so young & far from home. My heart goes out to them bcos they are so pure & sincere. I should have known more about Mormonism to refute their claims bcos they were trying to convert me. I was baptized in water in 1996. They said I'd have to be re-baptized into their faith. They gave me a Book of Mormon which I wanted to read to understand them better. But don't they see that right on the front of the book it says "Another Gospel of Jesus christ"? I don't want to debate them on the basis of here's what I believe vs what you believe, with no claim that either is right. I've noticed Steven Bancarz, even in his video with Marcus Rogers, comes at the start claiming here is the truth, not just what I believe. You accept the truth or you don't, but no ground is given. Hope that makes sense.

Grace is not "unmerited favor" It actually comes from the Greek word "Charis" which means "Divine influence on the heart"

30 times. Wow! The Holy Spirit wasn't letting him give up.

So similar to RC. I was Catholic for 43 years and went to Catholic school to boot! We know Nothing about the Bible!!! So sad!!

Speak the truth in Love…..Ephesians

4:05 That explanation is completely incorrect. D&C is NOT just teachings about JS to the people of his time. For the most part, is the actual voice of God. Have you read the writings from the prophets of old times? Like Ezekiel, for example. He goes a lot along the lines of: " Then the word of the LORD came to me: 'Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel and say to them...' " That's what D&C is for the first LDS people in Modern America. Misleading former Mormons can be misleading. I would suggest anyone wanting to know about the LDS faith, not just rely on the testimony of people like this man, but to talk with other faithful LDS active member, read the BoM on their own judgement and go and ask God about it (with sincere faith, of course).

An interesting thing just happened: You apparently had a poll question about whether or not we use tik tok, and I replied. Then I went away for a little bit to do something, and came back and it said the post was no longer available... that's a little odd. Just wondering.

Can you put a link to the cultish interview

One of the things that struck me was a speech I listened to by one of the former presidents of the church, who basically said that God was not omnipresent because that was a ridiculous and unreal concept, that he must be just a glorified man. So my thought was that this man seemed very against anything that could not be understood with our senses, as in modern science, that the thought of someone being omnipresent and omniscient, since it couldn't be quantified by our human experience, must be false. So this rules out faith and again, only appeals to our own senses as verifying what we believe.

Hi! I admire your beautiful testimony of Jesus Christ and the lovely way you bear testimony of him and his doctrine! I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (or Mormon). The concern was mentioned in the comments, that our teachings go against what is written in the book of Revelation about not adding anything. If you mean not adding anything to the Bible chronologically, then you would have to reject a chunk of the New Testament, since quite some of it was written after the book of Revelation was. If you mean doctrinally, then I say the Church doesn't add anything to the doctrine. Through the Church the Lord has clarified doctrine and restored ordinances. So, I thought it would be fun to have a little challenge: I wager, that there is not a doctrine in our church that I can't find a verse in the Bible for that supports that doctrine. The doctrine of a Mother in Heaven was mentioned for example. Genesis 1:27 "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." Doesn't that indicate, that, if we were created in God's Image, male and female, that God is an entity of a male and a female? Baptisms for the dead were mentioned. 1Corinthians15:29 "Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?" Doing baptisms for the dead was a practice already in the ancient church. In fact, it is interesting because he is making a point to clarify that there will be a resurrection, but the baptisms for the dead are treated as normal - why else would they do it, if the dead didn't rise? A living prophet? Amos 3:7 "Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets." The devil is a brother of Christ? In the understanding, that we are all Spirit Brothers and Sisters of Christ and were together with Him in Heaven before we came to earth: Isaiah 14:12 "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!", shows that lucifer was once with us in heaven- our Spirit brother. Also Revelation 12:7-9: "And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." The fact that their place was not found any more in heaven implies, that their place was once found there. "Hidden" knowledge? What about what Christ said in Mark4: 9 "And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. 11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:". This shows, that Christ waited until he was alone with them to expound on that, he waited for those who were ready with "ears to hear". The phrase "mystery of the kingdom" already implies that there are things, that were to be mysterious to some, but to them that were with Him, they were to be made known. Matthew 17:9" And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead". It is the same principle with those things in the Church which are not public. The Lord sometimes has reasons to not reveal everything to everyone at once. Also, in the ancient temple it was also very exactly regulated who was allowed to enter which parts of the temple, we can read about that in the old Testament as well. Garments were mentioned. Exodus 29:4-5 " And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation (a part of the temple), and shalt wash them with water. And thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the curious girdle of the ephod". Ritual clothing has been a part of temple worship for a veery long time. Also, if you believe in the ten commandments, and the commandment to Love God and your neighbor, don't you also believe that works are necessary as well as faith? Obviously, we are saved because of what Christ did, not because of what we do. But God wants us to become a certain Type of people, which requires us to Act and Change certain things. There is a beautiful Verse in the old Testament, before God gives the Israelites the 10 commandments He says he wants to Make them His "peculiar treasure". That required the commandments - our action! I Love my Saviour Jesus Christ. I am definitely a seeker of truth and believe I have found it in His church. But I also believe that anyone who does their best to live a good life according to their knowledge and understanding will ultimately be saved - why would a loving God condemn someone who is doing their best? Which is also the reason for performing baptisms for the dead, since, as it says in Luke 3: 5 "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God". And of course our loving Father would also want to save those who do not know or understand baptism in this life. But of course, everyone has to decide for themselves, whether or not they want to accept that baptism, just as everyone baptised needs to decide to continue to follow Christ after their baptism. If we do not agree on the interpretation of these scriptures, doesn't that also show how loving it is of our Heavenly Father to call a Prophet in our day as well as in the time of the old and new Testament? What other doctrines would you like to know about?

Mormon Missionary Bible Cherry Pickers ! lol So True

Has Mr. Tate ever been on the Ex- Mormon Files with former LDS bishop, Earl Erskine? This ministry consists of former Mormons who give their 'new' testimony of coming out of the church and finding true grace in Jesus. This ministry can be found on the webpage for Main St. Church in Brigham City, Utah. Also, who is this 'Jeff' he's talking about?

What is your thoughts on Cochran Ministries his name is Steve he talks about in times and God tells him things. He stands in with John Pall and just a few of others

Can anyone figure out what he said at 23.05 when Melissa was speaking at same time as him .. "something was massive" wrong for any church to Harbour. Ty.

The LDS faith is so deceptive. Recently, I was going over different worldviews and religions with my kids. We went straight to the websites for Jehovah's Witness, LDS, etc. The others were very easy just looking at their statements of faiths to see that they did not align with biblical Christianity. However, the LDS one seemed like it would align with biblical Christianity. We had to go deeper into it in order to see why Christians do not consider the LDS faith to be Christian. They also will take the words that Christians use, but they have different meanings which makes having conversations with them confusing if you are not aware of this. It has truly been eye opening since moving to Utah 8 years ago.

Wow the “testimony” explanation is so similar to WoF...

am protestant, but that the one thing i learnt off a mormon(work mate) dont consume cafeinne....have not had almost any since 92

Even Christians can be deceived. The third commandment doesn't actually say that you shall not misuse the word god. Exodus 20:7. From the original Hebrew we can see that the word translated to 'misuse' means 'to carry'. Hmm... That gives it a whole different purpose. Also the word god is not His name. It is His title. We know the Bible tells us His name is His Character. Therefore the third commandment really says: When we choose to be a member of God's family we are to represent His Character. No if's and's or but's. Another miss interpreted verse is translated to say: "on Sunday" or "on the first day", when it actually says: At the ending of the Sabbath... Acts 20:7. People are taught this verse is the recorded keeping of the first "Christian Sabbath" but it doesn't say anything about being the first anything Christian. The verse says the purpose was to eat dinner... The people were hungry... I assume they had listened to Paul speak all day. The verse also says that Paul continued to speak while they were eating. The purpose was a seminar conference on what Paul had learned from his trip to Damascus. It also says that the reason Paul continued to speak through the night was because the following morning he planned to get on a ship and take a trip. So you can see that from proper translation the early church observed the 7th day Sabbath and went on trips on the 1st day of the week.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Can anyone show me where in the bible it says old covenant or that a covenant was done away with? or new covenant meaning to replace another? Doesn't Jesus say in Matthew 23:1 to do and observe the law of Moses? Didnt Jesus model this for us by doing and observing it? Food for thought.

I agree we need to speak to mormons AND other believers of false doctrine with love and compassion BUT to assume there is only one type of conversation to have with them is silly..although it was nit said in the video that there is only one type of convi to have with them..there were examples of "how we should speak to them" to that I say, instead of following that remedy, I suggest we pray to Jesus, then just talk to them. Having said that..we do need to know what they believe, for instance..multi gods..just because its nit in their book of mormons..I guarantee you they believe this and instead of them asking you where it is in THEIR book..ask them simply if that is a belief of theirs..I have.

In response to 10:30, I believe it's 2 Nephi and Isaiah that are almost word for word? Not sure yet. But he may have plagiarized to say "hey guys look my book also has doctrine from the Bible, it must be true" that's kinda how I was taught.

Should we as non Mormons study the book of Mormon or stay away from it? 🙏🙏🙏

It surprising to see someone so young to be so knowledgeable, I enjoy your videos . How do people , who normally seem intelligent believe something so preposterous as the Book of Mormon . Isn’t it enough to compare the book with what we actually know about the pre history of America and Hebrew history of the same time period . How about all those made up names that in no way Match actual Hebrew names ? How can people believe this ? Might as well be a Scientologist

Are Subliminals safe or are they like the law of attraction?

Also i've heard from fellow Christians that studied cults and did a lot of witnessing to people on the streets with... Joseph was quoted to have not copied any text as proof of his ability to understand and translate the golden tablets.... The thing that is interesting, Joseph's copy of the Bible had the same spelling and punctuation errors as the KJV of the time, amazing, talk about miracles :)

I thought it was the 4 in one so the father the song the Holy Spirit

Interesting concept about the veil meaning that prophets are no longer needed. I disagree with this from a biblical view as we are told that our sons and daughters will prophesy in the last days. Joel 2:28. Prophecy is also a gift to the church by the Holy Spirit.1 Cor 12:10, so Luke 16:16 concerning John the Baptist is not saying he is the last prophet, but that the previous prophecies all pointed to Christ who was there at the time of John…so John’s message was that the kingdom of God was at hand. Jesus is our perfect sacrifice and is our high priest so no longer is an earthly sacrifice or priest needed. The rending of the veil upholds this. We are indeed the temple in which the spirit dwells and through Christ he can give us the power and desire to keep our bodily temple undefined in word, deed and even food. ❤️🙏🏻

Gainesville???

I've dug never shelfed. Shelving isn't doctrine and the doubt your doubt quote isn't either. If you want to know Mormons you should get a member. This is HIS perspective of why he left.

Speaking of not taking away or adding to The Bible why is The Bible after the reformation The Bible most Christians use? It has less books in it.

Why Is the Book of Mormon So Focused on Jesus Christ? See ​`@`​

Do Mormons believe in the same Bible as Christians? I know they have extra books but besides those other added books? I believe that as a human being my brain cannot fully comprehend every meaning and intention of every word He wrote. Beyond just His exact meaning, I think it’s the same for parts that sound like impossible stories. They’re only impossible to fallible human minds. That’s where faith comes in to play. I know Lucifer was originally an angel who was cast out of Heaven because he wanted to be equal to God. I don’t understand how your soul can feel any type of peace while striving to become equal to God or become god during your time on earth. It feels wrong even typing it. I’m not standing on a soapbox, I genuinely would like to understand. I believe there are Mormons who are just as genuine in their concrete belief as I am in mine. That’s why it’s easy to write them off and shut the door in their face. But God never said “don’t bother giving the truth to someone who is too sure of something wrong”. Inside I am wrong for judging them in those moments and have failed them and myself in a big way. The thought is “it’s too hard to get through so I don’t want to bother and waste my time”. I have faith in His grace that I’m forgiven of falling short so often but I still know I need to do better. Grace isn’t a get out of jail free card that can be used as a loophole of sorts. This was a very helpful video that I hope acts a mental tool when I’m trying to do better.

10:20 Its 2 Nephi - plagiarizes a lot of Book of Isaiah from Old Testament.

Are we responsible of telling people the Truth? Yes. Lord Jesus said to His disciples go out there and preach the Gospel...anyone can share the Truth...as brotherhood and sisterhood...loving one another as Lord Jesus said if you abide in my love...I will abide in you...

I’m Mormon ( the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) and I’m so happy. Best church ever. These people don’t get it.

It does not take a village to raise a child

I DO KNOW that YAH ELOHIM is OUR CREATOR. YAHshua MESSIAH is ONLY FIRSTBORN SON WE NEED MESSIAH to SAVE US. . And RUACH ha Qodesh is YAHs SPIRIT. Scripture TORAH, PROPHETs & Gospel are TRUTH. 🙏🎉💖

Enlil and Enki are 1/2 brothers.The sumerian lost tablets that predate the old testament tell about the gods that came from heaven. I believe there's some truth there to help us piece together the missing pieces. Dont dismiss this there's truth there! Search for truth.Blessings and peace to all for we all have been deceived.

Old testament Law has not been done away with. The Law of sin and death is what's done away with. There is a difference. If the Old testament Law, the Torah, is done away with, and breaking the Law is sin, then there would have been no reason for Yeshua (Jesus) to die. For sin IS lawlessness (1 John 3:4). If there is no Law, then there is no sin. And His sacrifice was for nothing. Yeshua said, "if you love Me, keep My commandments" (John 14:15). And He said that the only doctrine He has comes from the Father (John 7:16). Many point to Paul saying he explains how Yeshua supposedly did away with the Law, or certain parts of the Law so we wouldn't have to do it anymore. But, Paul Himself testified that he knew and believed the Law and the prophets (Acts 24:14), so it doesn't make sense for Paul to write to the churches saying that the Law is done away with. Which means that the reasonable conclusion is that Paul's letters are misunderstood, which makes sense since Peter, a fellow apostle who knew Peter, said in 2 Peter 3:15-16. The reason we can't make sacrifices like they did in the Torah is because there is no Tabernacle for them to do it. But this isn't because "we don't need it." But because the physical temple was destroyed. If you study the prophets, they prophesy that when Yeshua comes back to establish His kingdom on earth, the sacrifices will be reinstated again.

the title seems to be clickbait .... i was not effectively reached :/ but to be fair, i grew up discussing my beliefs on ARM.

Also the religion is designed such that men can take advantage of women and women think they are in a special position in life.

And think about a 18 year old teaching you the Bible. Like they would know much at 18. So it’s just a program.

I have never met a Mormon I didn't like....

I believe we are to separate ourselves unless they are interested in knowing more about a personal relationship with Jesus Christ we are to shut the door not let them in any cults bible instructs us to I follow Jesus Christ I shut the door unless they are truly interested I don't let them in our home Jesus Christ follow Jesus not me or anyone. I'm praying he will seperate himself from the Mormons leave it behind permanently

Well, I'm wanting to find somebody who explains kind of simply and starting from scratch what exactly Mormons believe in. This guy and girl are jumping all over the place, and I have no idea what they're talking about.

Did you know that the Bible contains prophesies about the Book of Mormon and the Book of Mormon testifies of the Bible? Isaiah 29:11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed (a Part of the golden plates was sealed), which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: (This happened when a friend of Joseph Smith brought copies of the characters on the plates to a scholar)12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned (Joseph Smith had only about three years of official schooling; please read the book and tell me again that it is not revelation!), saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned. 13 ¶ Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: 14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid." Also, to those who reject the Book of Mormon because of the scripture found in Revelation 22 that nothing should be added, die you know there is also a similar scripture found already in Deuteronomy 4:2 "Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you." Does that make the rest of the Bible invalid?

This is interesting, but it’s like asking Judas about Jesus Christ. And he is talking about stereotypes. And wherever the two of you are now (church wise) there can be people who critics that church like you do with other, because you won’t.

Who murdered the Church of England?
