Amen. GOD has Raised Up Men who can Breath Fire when necessary and Flow Forth Living Water the same. All Glory to GOD (In CHRIST)

@@Chesterchurch just go to Utah if God is calling you to go.

The "witness of the Spirit" can be the witness of ones subconscious desires. That is why God provided us with inspired people and works. Prophets and scripture. I've asked people of many faiths, including my own, why they think their tradition is correct and others are wrong. Most answer that they've prayed about it and feel a peace. That means most people feel good about the faith they express. That doesn't mean that its from the Spirit. The Bible tells us to vet "revelation" because people tend to like what "tickles the ear." I'd wager there hasn't been many Mormons who went kicking and screaming into the church crying out, "Spirit, Spirit, leave me alone... You've made it clear. I submit."

@@blusheep2 The witness of the Spirit is unmistakable, only those who truly experienced it know how distinguishable it is from human subconscious desires. Those that did not yet experience the Holy Ghost may say that it was only a human feeling because the only thing they have to try to compare to is a human feeling, since they themselves have not yet experienced the Spirit. They do not understand that what comes from God is infinitely superior than human feelings. That is exactly why Jesus said that “every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven” even blasphemy against Jesus Himself will be forgiven, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. The reason for that is because the witness of the Spirit is the ultimate witness, coming from the Holy Spirit to our spirit, something impossible to confuse or compare to any human feeling. In my view, you inverted the order of things when in your comment you said the following: "witness of the Spirit" can be the witness of ones subconscious desires. That is why God provided us with inspired people and works. Prophets and scripture.” I would argue that you totally inverted the order of things. God provided the witness of the Spirit to attest to us if the scripture we are reading or the prophet we are listening to are true, simply because a scripture can be altered by evil man and evil man can say that he is a true prophet, but no one, no one can imitate the REAL witness of the Holy Ghost. Just remember the words of Jesus to Peter: “for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.”

@@claytondaddy Don't give me that crap. That is a claim that can't be substantiated. Do you not think I believe that I've heard from the Holy Spirit? Of course I have. So where does that leave us? We both claim to have a witness from the Holy Spirit. I wonder what the Bible said about this. Hmmm. It told us multiple ways to "test the spirit." Scripture, fruits of the prophets, and of course asking the Spirit for wisdom. Honest question here... Why would God through His inspired apostle John have Him write, "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world," if the witness of the Spirit was so obvious that only those who experienced it would understand? Does that make any sense? It doesn't. Its inconsistent to say that there is this unmistakable voice of God and then see in scriptures we are told to test the Spirits to make sure they ARE from God. _ God provided the witness of the Spirit to attest to us if the scripture we are reading or the prophet we are listening to are true... but no one, no one can imitate the REAL witness of the Holy Ghost._ I cannot afford to make up my own theology. I follow the inspired works of scripture as I understand them. The Scriptures don't say what you say. It says quite the opposite. Yes, to Peter was revealed the truth about Christ, but did you notice how Jesus had to tell Peter this had happened? Never does Christ tell the Pharisees to pray about Him and the Holy Spirit will reveal the truth of who He is. He appeals to the power He came in and the scriptures. John, as discussed, tells us to test the Spirits and make sure they are of God, which would be unnecessary if the "witness" was as unmistakable as you claim. Do you not think that the enemy can also have a strong presence in your life? That he can't scream lies into your "ears?" And think about it. As a missionary you share your testimony to a stranger. The stranger is interested and so you give them a BoM and ask them to pray and tell them the Holy Spirit will provide a witness. This person may have never prayed before in their lives. Most likely they have never listened to the Lord much less built any skill of discernment to know the Lord's voice. They have already agreed to read the book and pray meaning they are poised to hear something positive. Its psychosomatic. They hear what they want to hear. They label it the Holy Spirit. You all label it the Holy Spirit, and then this feeling is pushed on them OVER and OVER and OVER again. Ignore the fruits of Joseph. Ignore the absence of any direct evidence for the BoM. Ignore the ponzi scheme bank. Ignore that he lied about his plural marriages to the church and his wife. Ignore that the papyri didn't say what he claimed and weren't written by who he claimed them to be written by. INSTEAD, just trust your witness. Trust your witness, trust your witness, OVER and OVER and OVER again. I truly believe that the Holy Spirit works in our lives, but it takes a real relationship with God to know His voice from our own. I don't have the luxury to ignore scripture and the scripture tells me to test all the spirits and it teaches me to look at the fruits of the "prophets." When I do this Joseph and his teachings fail so miserably. There is a real Jesus and its blasphemous to say he is the brother of Lucifer.

@@blusheep2 I’m at work now and will eventually answer you. Meanwhile I’ll just tell that there’s no need to loose your temper and be aggressive by using words like “don’t give me that crap”, let’s just be Christlike in our conversation, that is a way to demonstrate that we truly have the Spirit with us, “by their fruits…”

@@claytondaddy Take your time, man. Ill be around. Don't hurry your response. I'd rather you think through it carefully. I'm patient. I wasn't mad or triggered but I will be blunt at times. I responded that way because essentially you were putting yourself on a pedestal and making the claim that I haven't heard from the Holy Spirit.

They haven’t changed the KJV, but it wouldn’t hurt to steer him away to a different audio version.

They have most definitely changed the King James version of the Bible. Joseph Smith wrote himself into it with a Joseph Smith translation Essentially Joseph Smith added versus that would make him appear to be a prophet that would come in the future

Did you know that the book of Revelations wasn’t the last book written in the Bible

@@rockywalker6298 it was the last book written in the Christian Bible. Written by John AD 95-96

if you read your bible well, you would see baptism for the dead being performed.

@@bagonza9593 We are baptized for the dead because we know that they will rise. 1 Corinthians 15:29. I'm glad you're into literal meanings because now you can't deny the Trinity. Baptism is metaphorical here. Baptism is used metaphorically many times like in Matthew 3:11 when John tells us he baptized with water for repentance but one will come after him who will baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire. No one lights anyone on fire, it represents spiritual cleansing. You're either saved (& Mormons are not) and you're baptized with the Holy Spirit or you're not saved. Baptized with fire in Revelation is used as the lake of fire. I don't know why you'd think you need to baptize the dead anyway because being baptized is not a condition of reaching Heaven. Being born-again is though. Doesn't do any good to baptize someone who wasn't born-again.

@@kristinelabounty6856 but is there baptism for the dead? yes or no? or does it become metaphorical to support your opinion?

Jesus never started any religion he only had started perfection.

@@henkaistudio neat I started perfection too.

Yeah, but it’s not blind faith at all. One trip to Israel can prove that. I’m still looking for the ancient ruins of Maroni… maybe the Jewish mayflower? Or American Indian blood test that show direct link to Jewish ancestry?

@@dfoster4234 lol what would a trip to the birthplace of any religion prove?

To you, it will prove nothing. Millions of people disappearing around the world instantaneously will prove nothing to you. 144,000 jewish evangelist will prove nothing to you. A booming voice from the upper atmosphere, proclaiming the gospel will prove nothing to you either. In the coming, darkest time of the world, if you’re even lucky enough to have a choice, you will choose to serve your own personal interest. Our mission is to spread the gospel around the world, it’s not our job to make you believe it or not. I hope you get a second chance. Have an amazing day.

@@dfoster4234 I hope you get a third chance. It's obvious people are lying to you. God's mission is to magically inspire people and instead we have cultists telling us about the virtue of gullibility.

@@w4rsh1p Your pretty sure of yourself. You don't even know what Biblical faith means. You can be snarky but snarky doesn't mean intelligent or informed. You come here to insult people having a religious conversation but you only demonstrate your own arrogance. If your going to try this schtick, then at least give us a challenge.

Wow, you are so lucky because even though you're not saved, you're still here so it's not too late because of great God's mercy. If you don't turn to Jesus, the moment you die, you will be in unimaginable horror for eternity. I hope that doesn't happen to you.

@@allieReformed oh no fear based mythology. Don't worry I'm not interested in being saved as it's 100% impossible. I commit blasphemy as often as possible. We've invented 4000+ religions and unjustified fear in only one of them is supposed to save me?

@@w4rsh1p Well, I used to believe the same way about religion not long ago. So, I'm still hopeful for you. Paul the apostle used to kill Christians, so you're not a hopeless case.

@@w4rsh1p I do not wish hell for anyone, but when we make our choice to deny our Lord God and openly reject him, should you die and not have a true belief in Jesus Christ, your mind will be flooded with all these conversations over and over again, as you suffer the righteousness of our Lord God, in eternal separation from Him. I would not wish this on my worst enemy. Every day we wake up the next day is a blessing, for our Lord God is full of mercy and patience, but there will come an appointed day and time when we all must die, and once we die, there is no second chance, for the judgement comes immediately after.

@@brotherinchrist72 I prefer having true beliefs instead of beliefs indistinguishable from imagination. There's not a single verse in the entire Bible or a single thing any Christian has ever done that couldn't be explained by someone lying or having cognitive biases. You should realize that many religions invent hell-like after deaths to convince their believers to be scared enough to join the religion. Don't fall for the scam. I'm a brother in earth. Not a brother in imagination and cheap lies.

What did he say that was false?

@@JohnChapt.6.Verse.68 because it's based on faith which means "unseen evidence" which could justify any imaginary concept.

@@w4rsh1p Do you really want to be that person, a scoffer? Congratulations, you've fulfilled Bible prophecy (2 Peter 3:3). Do really want to be a troll and a heckler? We're not making fun of your beliefs. Your life must be so empty.

@@JohnChapt.6.Verse.68 jeez ill have to remember when I write a magically inspired scripture to predict that people will doubt it. My lord you are dense. Do you really want to pretend a God exists because you're gullible? Your life must be so empty to be so dependent on a delusion.

I’ve seen many medically verifiable miracles when we prayed in Jesus name. I’ve seen demons casted out of people. And the gospels are historical documents written by eye witnesses during the lifetime of other eye witnesses.
