Not a modalist or a trinitarian. God both became a man like us and is God for all eternity. (That's kinda the foundational teaching of all of Christianity.) And did he ever contradict? Maybe, nobody's perfect. He was an illiterate farmboy, not a theologian. That's why it's so impressive that he managed to produce such a perfect and profound theological framework at the times he acted as a conduit for God's revelations, it's what makes him a prophet.

​​@@KnuttyEntertainmentLOL 😂😂 try and block me Mormon boy!!!😂😂

@@davidjanbaz7728 Why would I block you when stalking me is one of the few sources of satisfaction in your life. I couldn't just take that away from you.

There sure are a lot of people who feel threatened and have a need to attack what they don’t understand. Kinda childish really. Why don’t you just focus on Jesus and follow him? Why this need to bring down other Christians?

@@KnuttyEntertainment it’s really early enough to quit the LDS and spend your time in the truth. Do it before it’s too late.

I’ll be praying for you big time, check this out: About ten years ago I was getting really deep into apologetics and started with Mormonism. I was supposed to go to Utah for a specialized training for my job then my training was changed to California but then, there was an issue where they had to change it back to Utah, then I learned that Utah was huge in Mormonism, I got very excited and started pushing even harder to learn the LDS movement. I was studying on my flight and was praying “please Lord, let there be a seasoned brother so we can hit the streets and have conversations with many Mormons. Well, the Lord honored it 150%. my car driver also my partner on the training, seasoned in Mormonism was a believer and wanted to evangelized also We spent ten days, every single day and night witnessing to Mormons. We took the tours and the free passes to museums, we asked and challenged every tour guide and was very rewarding. We got kicked out twice and were threatened that on the third we were going to be arrested, our picture was placed somewhere for missionaries to ignored us. We ended up connecting with a group of 10 singing and worshiping in front of the main temple entrance. Anyway, pray and be bold, be respectful and kind and please chose which mountain is worth dying on, they are very cultish and have a lot of hidden stuff. Also, many of the contemporary missionaries are not too familiar with the real dark pass of the cult so be ready with evidence to present.

If this is representative of what you think you know about Mormonism, then you may be surprised to find that you still know nothing of it.

@@davehooper885 let me guess, another Mormon denying the truth and defending a cultish false teaching

Yeah, he was an illiterate farm boy with maybe a 3rd grade education. That's why the Book of Mormon is a miracle. It's not possible for anyone to have written it in the conditions he did. (orally dictated it blindfolded in one draft over two months with no materials.) Much less someone like Joseph Smith.

​@@KnuttyEntertainmentThat's why it has a lot of issues as well. That's why the church won't canonize the entirety of the JST, and that's why the amount of changes made to the D&C in just 87 years (1833 to 1921) are astounding. In fact, had the bible been changed at the rate the D&C was changed, it would have been unrecognizable. Entire sentences and paragraphs were added or removed from the D&C. Which is ironic, coming from a church that condemns the manipulation of scripture.

@@rhamsesmartinez5007 I don't see why prophets aren't allowed to curate their own revelations. Plus, you can always just go look at the earlier versions if it bothers you, nothing is being suppressed. Also the Bible has been changed that much. Not only are there textual variants galore, but there's centuries of dead space between the authors and the earliest manuscripts. Untold amounts of corruption could have happened in that space. Especially because manuscripts become more standardized and harmonized as time goes on. The earlier the manuscript the greater the variation.

@KnuttyEntertainment With all the changes made to the Bible and the "untold amount of corruption" that could have taken place during the "centuries of dead space," its surprising that a church with at least 15 prophets, seers, and revelators, at any given time, still uses the KJV and encourages its members to study it as the word of God. So, is the Bible reliable or not? Not even the JST or "Inspired Version" is referred to as the word of God. As for the D&C, one thing is to update a revelation; to give new instruction that supersedes the former, but what JS and other leaders have done is revised the "revelations," changing their meaning, and presented them as the originals, as if nothing had been modified- as if God had spoken only once on the matter. This is deceitful. However, it is evident that changes had to be made because conflicting doctrines were being taught and/or practiced. Furthermore, you stated that nothing is being suppressed, yet LeGrand Richards, Joseph Fielding Smith, John A. Widtsoe, Hugh B. Brown, and others, all stated that nothing from the D&C had been changed. But you and I know that's not true. In fact, in 2013, Steven E. Snow, former church historian and member of the Quorum of the Seventy stated, "I think in the past there was a tendency to keep a lot of the records closed or at least not give access to information. But... with the access to information on the internet, we can't continue that pattern." In other words, the LDS church would have continued suppressing information had it not been forced to be transparent.

Lucifer hasn't always been a satan

@Scott23882 he was a Cherub which was a creation of Jesus.

@@Callahan757575 scripture only says what was created in Christ

​@@unmeritedfavour48 That is an oxymoron.

@@josephodoherty7864 not everything is in Christ

Careful to quote the Bible to them because they will say it is corrupt. With their own scriptures, they can’t say that.

@ChristOverAllJeremy Perhaps but they would be wrong. That quote is Old Testament which is verifiable since the dead sea scrolls exist and have been directly translated from the original text and match with the standard Old Testament works of today's Bible. They could say it. Wouldn't make it true.

@@ChristOverAllJeremy We just say the Bible should be translated correctly. Or do you think any and every translation of the Bible is scripture, including the new world translation? It doesn't mean that we just throw out passages we don't like.

The problem with quoting Isaiah is that Isaiah isn't a monotheist, he believed in other gods. He's using a common figure of speech from those times. The same figure of speech is used to say there are no other cities other Babylon or Nineveh, or that there are no other swords than this sword. He's basically saying "my God can beat up your god." Here's a video by evangelical scholar Michael Heiser on the topic: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rdN_eMx81K69lIk.html

And, Latter-day Saints don't believe that YHWH started out as a man. He started out as God, and then became a man... named JESUS. We also don't believe that Heavenly Mother gave birth to other gods, nor that we achieve godhood through polygamy or through our works in this life. There are also several instances of man seeing God in the Bible. Joseph Smith essentially saw the same thing Stephen saw in Acts when he saw the Son standing at the right hand of the Father. Also, the idea of becoming like god is called theosis, and it’s been taught in Christianity for 2,000 years. The idea is still taught in Catholic and Orthodox churches, and that’s because the idea is biblical: First, we are outright called gods, the very children of God (Psalm 82:6/John 10:34) and children can grow up to become like their parents (Romans 8:16-17). And just as Jesus was glorified to rule like his Father, so shall we rule as they do (Revelation 3:21), for we shall also be like them in that way (1 John 3:2). Indeed we are commanded to become perfect like God the Father is perfect, and God would not give us a commandment that would be impossible for us to keep (Matthew 5:48). And in so doing we may become one with Jesus and the Father the same way they are one with each other (John 17:20-23).

May god the father bless you and you be saved through Jesus the sons death so that the Holy Spirit can touch your heart because your god in the book of morman is pagan

If you want to say Joseph Smith was deceived by the devil, I'm sorry but that's just not possible. All the angels that visited Joseph Smith had physical resurrected bodies. So they couldn’t be devils because devils are just spirits. Joseph Smith also casted out demons, so Matthew 12:24-28 proves that he must have the spirit of God. He also fulfilled, Revelation 14:6 which says that an angel will deliver the gospel in the last days, and finally all the angels that visit Joseph Smith pass the test of 1 John 4:1-3.

@@KnuttyEntertainment Then they aren't Angels. Because Angels don't have those bodies.

@@KnuttyEntertainment Deuteronomy also has a test for a Prophet. Which is that all his predictions must come true.

@@johnrockwell5834 Angel literally translates to "messenger" I am not claiming that they are seraphim or cherubim. malakim/angels in the Bible are always represented as physical people that are often mistaken for regular humans. The idea of resurrected human messengers has precedence in the Bible. e.g. the prophecy of Elijah's physical return, Moses and Elijah on the mount of transfiguration, the resurrected Christ.

@@johnrockwell5834 Those verses in Deuteronomy do not say that every statement from a prophet must come true. It's not even really a test for prophets. It's a test for individual prophecies, it basically just says that if it doesn't happen then it's because the prophet got all uppity and presumptuous and gave his opinion when God didn't command him to say that. An example of this is when Moses strikes the rock and makes water come out when God didn't tell him to do that. There are also occasions in the Bible, such as Jonah's prophecy of Nineveh's destruction, where God does command Jonah to say that, but it still doesn't happen because God changes his mind. There are examples all over the Bible of prophets sinning and not doing what God told them, that doesn't make them false prophets, it just makes them human. As for Joseph Smith, his track record is pretty impeccable, over 400 fulfilled prophecies so far, and of the few that critics like to hold up as failed, I have yet to see one that actually holds up to muster.

Dude, it’s a crock of shit. You’d have to be an idiot to believe it. You can’t look at it objectively and take it seriously. You’ve got to suspend your disbelief in order to give it even the slightest bit of credence.

Didn't Satan promise Jesus the world if he would bow to him? Are you certain that LDS "wealth & power" is coming from Jesus Christ or is it a demonic source attempting to distract & deceive you?

Please cite your source. Because from what I find, Islam is the fastest growing religion. Does that mean Isalm is the true church of Jesus Christ- they believe in Jesus as well? I was a devout Latter-Day Saint my entire life with no reason nor desire to leave my faith. Then one day, unexpectedly, God showed me the Catholic church. I can assure you that the Catholic Church is the true church of Jesus Christ; that it has the fulness of the gospel. It is His church of which He said the gates of hell would never overcome. And I can say, as fervently as you have for the LDS faith, the Catholic church is the Kingdom of heaven on earth. And as much as the rest of Christindom cries "Apostasy!" and spreads myths and misinformation of its origin and doctrine, it will stand forever.

I haven’t come across Mormons who believe the BOM are fallible. But I’ll keep that in mind too.

@@ChristOverAllJeremy that’s one of the other issue why you can’t quote scripture is because one you asked 10 Mormons the same question they’ll give you 10 different answers. a lot of them will straight up tell you that all scriptures are fallible because they do believe by their own logic that all profits are fallible so if the scriptures are written by prophets, the scriptures are also fallible, so they can’t make that argument

@@williamdai8796 sure. Then use that against them. I would ask them how do they know their religion is infallible? How certain are they that they will go to heaven and become a god? Have you asked that before?

@@ChristOverAllJeremy someone believe that some of them don’t again you have to understand who you’re talking to every Mormon believes differently. That’s a tough thing about dealing with a cult you’re not debating someone in a religion. You’re debating someone who is literally in a cult that’s harboring demon spirits within them for their whole lives, they simply tell you that everything is subjective truth is subjective religion is subjective so you can’t really change your mind a lot of will actually go there

​@@ChristOverAllJeremyyou both sound like the pharisees and the sadducees. Blinded by your own interpretations you ignore the teachings of Jesus completely.

Bruh 😂 Your telling me Joseph was greater than the prophets of old that he got to see Gods face??

Okay, but if Hebrews 1:2 is teaching closed canon, then Hebrews itself isn't scripture because it is written by a prophet after Jesus. Might also want to check out Revelation 11, 14:6 and Matthew 23:29-39

I know it's scary to think about it being wrong, because that means everything you have been raised in is false. But is it not more important to know the truth? I pray Jesus of the Bible opens your eyes to the many historical abuses and theological falacies of the Mormon church.

​@@ChristOverAllJeremy Just to pick on the one point here, you stated that the lds church says JS did more for us than Jesus, which is a flat-out lie. Hang on, I'll address another one - Jesus is the father and the son like this - He is the son of God. He is also the creator of the heavens and the earth - the father of them. Are you a father ? Do you also HAVE a father? That's how Jesus is both a father and a son. And as for God being eternal, well, he is, but yes he does change - didn't Jesus get born and become mortal ? And then die and get resurrected ? Seems like a change to me. And yet he has always existed, the same person. But not in the same form. You're misrepresenting doctrine, and worse, preying on latter-day saints who aren't scholars. Not everyone is able to delve into all the deepness of doctrine, and I'm sure that's true of many of your people too.

@@ChristOverAllJeremy He taught what the Bible teaches, that there are three distinct beings united as the One God.

Same being. God doesn't share his glory. Jesus says to yhe Father the glory I had with you before the world 🌎 was

@@albusai Jesus said he received all glory from the Father - Revelation 3: 21 - a scripture with a warning to not change. The Father spoke of Jesus in the Bible “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased, hear Him.” Language used for offspring and a separate being. God cannot lie. You don’t call yourself him, or refer to yourself as a son you love. The culture of Abraham knew what a son was, why don’t you?

@@albusai He also says in John 17:20-23 "and the glory you have given me, I have given them. That they may be one with us the SAME WAY we are one with each other." And in Romans 8:16-17 it says that we are joint-heirs with Christ glorified together. So God definitely does share his glory. That's actually kinda the whole point of making man in the first place.

There is not 3 God's, only one, why is this do hard for false Trinidadian to believe? Are there 3 thrones in heaven or one? Is there 3 kings? 3 lords? This 3 person trinity thing is a cancer among Christians. It's disgustingly blasphemous

Hoe do you get past him saying 'I am the father' though? I'm still just learning stuff, I'm not sure how you interpret that statement any other way

Satan can read the Bible 100 times and still be a damned to hell. Can you then tell me why Joseph smith cleats Jesus is the Father and the Son? Address the points, instead of telling us to read the book again.

@@ChristOverAllJeremy Jesus is the Father because we are spiritually begotten through His sacrifice. He is the Son because of His flesh and also in Ether, He appears in His Spirit body. Ether 3:9 Because of thy faith thou hast seen that I shall take upon me flesh and blood; D&C 130:22 - The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s; the Son also; but the Holy Ghost has not a body of flesh and bones, but is a personage of Spirit. Were it not so, the Holy Ghost could not dwell in us. Mosiah 5:7 - And now, because of the covenant which ye have made ye shall be called the children of Christ, his sons, and his daughters; for behold, this day he hath spiritually begotten you; for ye say that your hearts are changed through faith on his name; therefore, ye are born of him and have become his sons and his daughters.
