When we agree I think it a mistake to argue over semantics. Thanks for commenting though.

I fully understand your point, and you are right but getting caught up in a semantic that is causing you to miss the mark. Yes Jesus is the Rock. He's the foundation the pillars and the roof. He is the centerpoint of the entire church. But he is not here running his church, so he calls prophets. This has been a pattern from the beginning of the Creation, that continued through the Old and New Testaments, and continues today. Peter's job as "the Rock" as Jesus named him, was to do all he could as Prophet and Apostle, to represent Jesus Christ and do what He would do.

God forbid I miss the mark. There’s no room for semantics in scripture. The instruction to the church in 1 Corinthians 4:6 is not to go beyond what is written because everything is explained and interpreted in the gospels and epistles by the apostles and chosen disciples. Those scriptures survived despite the heavy persecution of the early church because the will of God regarding them is in 2 Timothy 3:16. When Paul said his last goodbye to the Ephesians in Acts 20:32 he committed them to the word of God as their guide to sanctification, not an existing nor upcoming prophet. Nothing essential to our salvation was left untaught by the apostles or they would had failed their mission and ministry. Until now, the apostles are still preaching the gospel of the Lord through the scriptures we have at hand. The apostles are not prophets. Paul explained their distinction in 1 Corinthians 12:29. There are prophets in the new covenant like the daughters of Philip in Acts 21:9. Peter’s job is the same as the rest of the apostles which was to preach the gospel, including the word of the prophets commanded in 2 Peter 3:2 through the apostles. The only apostle tasked to prophesy the details of future events was the last living one. John in Revelation 10:11.

A couple questions: How can you claim this? "Nothing essential to our salvation was left untaught by the apostles or they would had failed their mission and ministry." And how can you be certain we have their complete writings?

@@WhatBibleSay The simple answer is because I have faith in my Lord. I believe his words and his promise to the apostles are true in Matthew 28:20. How do you suppose those apostles are able to preach the gospel to ALL nations, and how do you think Christ is with them as they teach ALL nations to obey ALL his commandments until the end of age, if Christ is not with the gospels and scriptures they first taught by mouth and next by letter to this day? See what Paul says about how they taught the church in 2 Thessalonians 2:15. The scriptures survived and will continue to survive until the end of this world because Christ has spoken it in Matthew 24:14. I don’t know what you believe. But I believe no man not even an empire, nor the coming beast could stop my Lord from his will regarding his gospel. It’s as complete then as it is now and as it will be til the end. May you find the truth about God through Christ who saves you. I hope you hear.

Hey Thanks! I’ve been wanting to launch this channel for several years, but didn’t think I wanted to be in the videos myself. After sharing the idea with many others and nothing happening, I finally decided I better just do it myself. 🙂

Yes. I know when Jesus visited the people in 3 Nephi he instructed them to pray to Him while he was with them. Very interesting.

Thanks for sharing.

Amen

Yes, i've met a couple false prophets. It's sad to see other people convinced and follow them. These false prophets take the focus away from Jesus Christ, or they mix half truths with lies.

What's the opposite of false prophets?

A prophet is either a true prophet or a false prophet. Either he is a spokesperson chosen by God and authorized to speak for Him, or he is not.

@@WhatBibleSay I think the key word here is authorized. By whose authority are they preaching?

Thanks for sharing!

Glad you enjoyed it.

You don't need a prophet to guide you! Just the Holy Spirit. He will tell you what you need to know. Don't listen to these half wit religions that say "it's not done anymore." You can be filled with God's Holy Spirit. It is His will that you are. God visited Adam in the cool of the day. He wants a "personal" relationship with you. It's in his word!

If you listen to the living prophet today, you’ll hear Him guide you to develop a personal relationship with God as well. For me I’ve learned to hear the voice of The Holy Ghost over time. I cherish this relationship and ability to tune in. But it takes constant effort to maintain. Things I do to maintain this relationship are studying the Bible, studying the Book of Mormon, and studying the words of modern day prophets like Russell M Nelson.

Glad you enjoy it. Thanks for commenting!

I have not read it. Throughout history God has regularly called prophets as His spokesperson. This began with Adam, and continues today. There have been many times of apostasy when the people become wicked and kill the prophets. So God calls more prophets. While I don't know much about the Quran, it's very possible that God called a prophet that lead to the writings in the Quran. But modern day prophets who quote heavily from the Bible and Book of Mormon, very rarely if ever quote anything from the Quran. So I haven't felt directed to learn from it myself. Have you read it? What are your thoughts?

@@robertputt7794 a religion by man and for men. Nothing about love and grace. Violent

Great idea!

For sure. You and I aren’t allowed to add to scripture, or like you said, add to the meaning. Only prophets can do that. That’s the role of a prophet only.

Hey good to hear from you again. Just what the Bible says. He’s Jehovah of the Old Testament. He’s the messiah and redeemer. He came to over come death and sin through faith in his sacrifice and resurrection.

Also, the Son of the most high God. I appreciate your question. Even as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints I still desire to know Christ more and more.

Would you mind sharing who Jesus is to you?

Thanks for participating in this conversation!

@@WhatBibleSayJesus is one with the Father. He has no beginning or end. He created everything (including satan) and apart from him not one thing was created that has been created.

Thanks for asking. I’ll try to answer. I believe in Amos 3:7 as a pattern that began with Adam, and has never changed. God calls prophets to speak His word. The Bible itself references many other writings of prophets that have been lost to time. At the similar time as the prophets Isiah and Jeremiah, there was a prophet named Lehi that lived in Jerusalem. God commanded him to take his family and a few others, and leave. They traveled on land, and after 8 years God instructed this people to build a ship. These people became some of the ancestors of the ancient inhabitants of the americas. God continued calling prophets among that people until 400 AD. Any written word we have from a prophet is called scripture. When a modern day religion decides to claim the Bible is the only truth, that’s when we have a problem. It’s as if they are telling God, sorry, but you can’t call any more prophets. No man has that power, obviously. When God calls someone as a prophet. It’s our job to discern whether they are a true or false prophet. I’ve studied the Book of Mormon deeply and find it certainly written by prophets of God who testify of the divinity of Jesus Christ. I follow Jesus Christ.

@@WhatBibleSay My friend, I really want you to know the truth so I'm posting some things to think about. --- You wrote: I believe in Amos 3:7 as a pattern that began with Adam, and has never changed. God calls prophets to speak His word. I understand you believe new revelation can still happen after Jesus death and resurrection brought in the New Covenant. You also believe there can be new Holy Scripture after Revelation was written. I believe Prophecy can still happen, as you said we cannot put God in a box-but Prophets of God will also never contradict Scripture. There are plenty of contradictions in the Book of Mormon to the New Testament. If you want more information, I can get into this. I also believe we don't need any more Holy books after the New Covenant had been established. We already have all the instruction we need, remember that Jesus has sent the Helper, the Holy Spirit to us. --- You wrote: The Bible itself references many other writings of prophets that have been lost to time. Which passages say that? I really want to warn of the dangers of how we decide which books are Scripture, for example what is the reasoning that the Gospel of Thomas or the Shepherd of Hermas should not be included in Scripture? We cannot judge by our own feeling what should be Scripture and what shouldn't. We know the early church fathers followed Christ, the writings of the early church fathers are reliable on determining what is Scripture. --- You wrote: At the similar time as the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah, there was a prophet named Lehi that lived in Jerusalem. God commanded him to take his family and a few others, and leave. They traveled on land, and after 8 years God instructed this people to build a ship. These people became some of the ancestors of the ancient inhabitants of the americas. God continued calling prophets among that people until 400 AD. I'm wondering how could this be when we know Jesus said in Matthew 15:24 "He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” --- You wrote: Any written word we have from a prophet is called scripture. When a modern day religion decides to claim the Bible is the only truth, that’s when we have a problem. It’s as if they are telling God, sorry, but you can’t call any more prophets. No man has that power, obviously. I think we can both agree there are false prophets. So how does one discern which Prophet is from God? We must keep in mind 2 Corinthians 11:14 says: "And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light." The early church father's listed which books are Scripture and they studied under the disciples of Jesus. We have great confidence that none of the books are lost(from the codexes we found from the early church age, finding of the Dead Sea Scrolls is hard proof the Jewish Old Testament has been unchanged for over 2000 years, we can reconstruct 99% of the New Testament from the writings of the early church alone.) We know that what we have in Scripture are God's words. If there are any contradictions then we know it is not from God but from the Devil. The Devil will use something that is mostly correct but slightly wrong to deceive us from the Truth.

Many of the above claims you make above just aren’t true. There used to be a list of over 100 supposed “contradictions” but do you know how many of them have actually been crossed off that list? I’ve studied the Book of Mormon deeply and have learned the pattern for recognizing truth. James 1 is a great example. So is Alma 32.

@@WhatBibleSay I want to respond but I have to ask why my first reply is not here anymore.

@@BrandonRocksSauce what about all the fulfilled prophecies? He was right about so much. I can tell that you have heard a bunch of controversial things about Joseph Smith, but have you honestly sought truth? You should look at Don Bradley. He knows Joseph Smith better than almost any living person. He left the church, but came back because he couldn't deny that Joseph was a man of God

What would you say is the difference between a prophet and holy man of God?

@@WhatBibleSay you could say that every prophet is a holy man, but not every holy man is a prophet

@@missys7823 ooh. I like that! Yes I agree!

The Bible is a record of Gods word revealed to prophets. I know you’ve been told that the Bible is a closed book, but it’s a collection of many small books written by gods spokesperson. God has always spoken for us through prophets, and I’m so grateful!

@@WhatBibleSay the Bible is God's word. It is a "library" of documents written by different men in the ancient world. Those documents floated around along with other very similar documents, like the Epistle of Barnabus, The Shepherd of Hermas, 1st and 2nd Clement. There were also other documents that were talked about but not very similar to the core documents, these are like Maccabees, Tobith, Judith, the Martyrdom of Perpetual and Felicitas, The book of Enoch, ect. And then there were stait dubious books like the Gosple of Thomas, the Gosple of Mary Magdalene, or Gosgla of Judas. (What the Davinci Code was partly encouraged by) The early Christians knew quiet well what documents were the good and best, which ones were ok and close but not the core ones, which ones were ok and not secondary but tertiary, and then which ones were strait dubious. These early Christians knew this and talked about it as early as 100ad. Then they got together and roughly all agreed to Muratorian Cannon in 170ad, then a handful of additional councils over the next 200year. These councils only officiated/verbally/collectively declared/approved that the books they had all separately already parsed out into the different levels were indeed all shared across the ancient world. The early Christians knew the best and core texts were from the core disciples of Jesus Christ in the first century. All other works by Christian leaders, disciples of the disciples, philosophers and sect leaders were to be understood as "not scripture" but as secondary, tertiary, or dubious works. The book of Mormon falls somewhere in those categories... But it is not Scripture in the slightest, by any historic, academic, council, or otherwise affirmation.

I’m very grateful we have those records.And I’m also grateful for the writings of other ancient and modern prophets.

@@andrewmorgensen326 My friend, the Bible you could say is a collection of it being “added to” and receiving more love and joy and peace from God because of Revelation. Through the Holy Ghost is God’s love shed in our hearts and where we are sanctified by the Atonement of Jesus Christ, cleansed and purified. Without revelation, you don’t have the Gospel, am I right in saying that? Without revelation, this is no power, no healings, no miracles, spiritual manifestations, etc. We teach the original Gospel spoken of by Christ’s original apostles. Acts 2:36-44 is a good example while the early Christian Church is being birthed. All this is made possible because of the Atonement. I thought the Bible mentioned other Books of scripture also that we do not have yet. If God’s the original source for these things, why not go to Him and pray about the Book of Mormon on whether or not it’s scripture. It’s a matter of seeing who the Lord’s servants are and the fruit they’ve borne. Christ’s being abundant and never-ending life.

@@AlexBlas215 Thank you for the thoughtful and well-voiced reply. 😄And It is soo good to see the Gospel (as you shared from Acts 2:36-44) declared! That is amazing and such a joy to see! Well done! So cool! On Revelation and Bible: Yes, some books/letters of the Bible do mention other texts, and topics of the ancient world. books like Enoch, and the War Scroll of the Essens are among that. but luckily the early Christians knew quite well which ideas, and letters, and resources were the "best" and "core" and which ones were secondary, and which ones were tertiary, and which ones were straight dubious. In the Christian church, there are not "additions" or "adding too," for Jesus Christ was the prophesied one of the OT, and he is the Alpha and Omega, the first and last. So all of the OT prophesies and various books were leading up to God coming in the flesh. That is what all the OT prophesies are about, the Messiah, Immanuel, God with us. The NT is those men who saw the God-Man: Jesus Christ, who suffered under Pontius Pilate on the Cross. So the bible of 66 books as it stands OT and NT. Was understood from the earliest days as those "core" books/letters about Jesus specifically. Other books and resources like Maccabees, Judith, Tobith, etc were highly regarded but secondary texts. and then some texts like the Shepherd of Hermas, Epistle of Barnabas, Letters of Clement 1 and 2, The Martyrdom of Felicitus and Perpetua etc were also highly regarded and read by lots of early Christians as supplements to their faith but they knew and were very clear these too were secondary or tertiary texts, and not "core" scripture and then there were also dubious writings, like the Nag-hammadi texts; like the Gospel of Mary Madalene, Gospel of Judas, Gospel of Truth. etc. (the things movies like the Davinci Code was based on). The early Christians and Christians now are very clear on these different levels of distinctions. 😄 God Bless!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I’m grateful for the pattern of God calling prophets.

What do you think is the solution?

@@WhatBibleSay that you admit that you are all making this up and that your cult is based on ignorant writings from ignorant humans. Curious how not a single self-professed christian can do what jesus promises to his true followers, so there is no reason to think any of you has the "right" version or that there is any "right" version at all.

Ok, are you saying you don’t believe in God? Just trying to understand the point you are making.

It wasn't goat herders who wrote it.

Good point

Would you be open to the idea that the Bible is a collection of many small books of scripture?

WhatBibleSay is right. The Bible is only a partial collection of many scriptures that Israelite prophets wrote. There are many things that were considered scripture during the time of Christ that were removed by men later, including the Book of Tobit, the Books of Enoch, the Book of Zenos, and many others. Therefore, the Bible is incomplete and therefore does not contain all of God's word, nor should we suppose that he can't cause more to be written.

Well, I agree with you. The words of past prophets are valuable, but the words of the living prophet are the most valuable!

Let's look back at the Bible for useful examples here. In Matthew 5, for example, Christ says he is coming not to destroy the prophets, but to fulfill them. That is, the words of the prophets of the past were true and would be fulfilled, but the time had come for something more. The Lord has to be able to give *new* instructions to the world adapted to their time and circumstances. Indeed, this is described in Ephesians 4 as one purpose of the roles in the Church - the organization of the Church prevents the members from being tossed about "with every wind of doctrine," or in other words they are guided with respect to the false doctrines present in whatever time and place they may be in. The New Testament is full of inspired instructions that the Apostles were giving real time for experiences and challenges the members were then having. They didn't just refer them back to previous prophets. Revelation from the past is valuable, but the most important prophet to you is the prophet of the time you are living in. Could you imagine someone rejecting Jesus' instructions because Moses said something different? Well, yes, that did in fact happen, and those who did were not justified. So it is with any current prophet. Remember that Peter and the other Apostles received new revelation that overturned the practices that Christ Himself had maintained while He was on Earth personally. And that was because they were authorized to update these things by the inspiration and authority of God. The example I am thinking of is the taking of the Gospel to the Gentiles and all the world, which was not the ordained practice prior to Peter's vision of the sheet with four corners.

@@WhatBibleSay I just struggle where they are diametrically opposed without reconciliation or even recognition for potential changes in the future.

Love this

Glad you enjoyed it!

The Book of Mormon takes place from 600 BC to 400 AD. 😊

Correct

It’s both. Most of it was written in the centuries leading up to the ministry of Christ when the New Testament was written. But some of it was written in the centuries after Christ’s Resurrection.

@@ameyers67 If true then it still means it was hidden until the 19th century by the Mormon god (not Jesus but the Father) who was once a man but later was elevated to Godhood.

There is not a single Manuscript of the Book of Mormon before ~1830ad. We have thousands of New Testament and Old Testament manuscripts dated to the 1st and 2nd century ad. (See dead sea Scrolls and other Manuscript collections held in Academic institutions) *and even back in the first century sects of pseudo-Christianity were writing their documents and starting their groups. (See the Nag-Hammadi Library manuscripts. Or any of the early "heresy's" and their leaders documents. Arian, Nestorian, Mani, or other Gnostic writers, ect. )

Thanks for your comments. You nearly wrote a book. 😀 I’m just grateful for a living prophet that removes all question.

Great question. From my perspective these verses have caused confusion, because we don’t seem to have the verses Jesus was referring to. I’m grateful for the passages we have in Doctrine and Covenants that provide a lot more clarity on the topic.

How did you come to these conclusions? Have you ever attended a Latter-Day Saint church meeting? Have you ever read the Book of Mormon for yourself? Or are you just believing what someone else says?

I know my Bible well. Iv been a pastor for 17 years. Working on my masters in ministry. Here is thing, Joesph Smith wrote a fictional story, his “interpretation,” clearly shows that it was developed by a yet to be fully mature adult mind. Any fiction author today can point to this. Here is an example, he understood Christ to be a literal son of God… in the sense that God bore a child with a woman, however this is not the meaning of the expression son of God. Son of God, means one from God. A child sees the word son and immediately connects that to concrete examples, adults can understand the what the terms meaning is. The same goes for his understanding of satan. (Brothers with Jesus?) This is a common problem for young minds. The childish fictional theme is so clear. It is becoming more and more obvious as time goes on what Mormonism is. This is why they are rapidly declining. You should stop trying to find your identity in this, pick up a trusted Bible, and just do a word study of Knowledge, Light, and The Word. These are all abstract terms, that when applied to the nature of God, Christ, the Spirit, our Mind, heart, and Soul, will help you understand the truth vs. the fiction of this cult.

Good point. Do you see this as a good thing or bad thing?

Sort of but you are missing two important points. 1.Scripture interprets scripture and cannot be divided (say two different things or mean two different things, they must be in harmony. This requires much study, original language translation that is faithfully translated) and 2. The Holy Spirit. Nothing, not even our salvation is accomplished without the Holy Spirit and we need to walk humbly before our Father and seek Him for clarification and wisdom. We will get it wrong sometimes but there’s a difference between misunderstanding that can be corrected by those wiser (like Peter who was corrected by Paul) and those who willfully lead others astray for their own glory and status (false teachers)

As far as being a good or a bad thing it depends on the person reading it. If it makes the reader find fulfillment in their life it is a good thing and I find nothing wrong with that. However, if the reader uses it as infallible proof in order to push their beliefs onto others it is bad. I personally do not believe that the Bible is the word of any god. In the old testament the Isrealites are God's chosen people, where does that leave everyone else? Does this mean that all of the people that come before the "word of god" are doomed to he'll for all eternity? In my opinion the gospel of Thomas is the only one that holds any value for our modern world.

​​@@cleaningupforfive if the scriptures are the word of god given to the disciples why would one need to correct the other? This does not make sense to me. Please elaborate on this. Is it not possible that the earliest Christians manipulated scriptures for the betterment of their religion they were trying to establish?

@@dangerclose191 they don’t need to correct each other. That’s not what I said. What I said is that all of scripture is in perfect harmony with itself. Our interpretation must also not go against any other scriptures. Paul correcting Peter was not a scripture issue but Peter was lead astray by false teachings and influences of the time. You can read about it in scripture. Paul corrects him and he repents. I brought that up as a point between our misunderstanding scripture and in our best efforts, we don’t get it right or we are influenced by a false teacher (like Peter) vs someone who deliberately picks and chooses scripture to make their point.

I appreciate your opinion, but for you to say that, you clearly haven’t read it.

Everything in the Bible has pointed to there being a restoration. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is meant to be proof that God has not given up on His people the House of Israel, neither on the world! He will not not fulfill His covenant that He made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and His successors. The Book of Mormon is a sign of the fulfilling of that covenant. I know Jesus and His mission, I know that he has a purpose for me and you. This Kingdom is rock solid my friend, no matter what you say. Shall the standard of truth not be erected in such a lost and dying world! That’s why we have our Apostolic and Prophetic Authority to rightly divide the word and expound the scriptures unto the people and give us new revelations today. It’s a normal process. Test these things. I know the Spirit of the Book of Mormon, it’s one of peace and hope and Joy. It’s one of new beginnings, it’s one of bringing back together mankind to God through Christ’s Atonement. I have felt such inexpressible joy at the age of 13 when I gained that testimony of the Book of Mormon, nothing else in this word matters to me, please try living our teachings with real intent. It’s important to learn from the past but we’ve got problems today that are bigger than you and me, there are people out there that need us. God is really the source of true joy.

@@WhatBibleSay Lord Jesus confirmed the OT and Apostle Paul stated the full Gospel have been revealed. 1800 years later the Book of Mormons pops out and we learn that the Mormons believe the God the Father was once a man but later was elevated to Godhood. If so then that means he is not the God of the Bible.

what about thr book of mormon saying dark skin is a curse I don't think that would've came from Jesus

what about all of joseph smith false prophecy thr bible says is a prophet is wrong even once they are a false prophet

Thanks for commenting… so what do you think about all the verses I shared in this episode that say otherwise?

There is a clear difference between reading the Bible and trying to understand it. There is basic interpretation. But if your interpretation goes against Church authority and what they determined to be doctrine. For example you can’t just read John 6 and say that Jesus is speaking figuratively about Holy Communion. But all Protestant denominations differ on their opinions. Or let’s say Baptism. Most Protestant Christians at least pastors say that when a person is Baptized no miracle occurs it’s just a symbol. Problem is Jesus gave authority to individual teachers to protect the Word of God. If Jesus doesn’t establish one Church which He did than there’s no reason to be Christian. The entire ancient not just in Rome but all over the Middle East. Never interpreted ever that these things were just symbols. So who is a real Prophet that can interpret big issues. We can interpret the Bible as far as we don’t transgress go against Doctrines on Faith and Morals that have there root Sacred Scripture. But all these Protestant groups all differ on serious issues that can lead to hell. For example the sexual sin of Contraception, Divorce and Remarriage, the sin Pornography Masturbation etc…. Many now which are excepted in Protestant Churches and at one point weren’t but they changed with culture of death. Jesus has and Must establish a Church that’s why he does in Matthew 16 regardless of individual corruption of people the Faith and Morals of the Catholic Church cannot be changed or altered not even by the Pope himself. If it’s True it’s always true. God Bless you.

@@WhatBibleSay Jesus The Bible says we must come to a "life saving knowledge" of the truth

​@WhatBibleSay your confusion of The JST just being different interpretations . Protestants hold to similar interpretations on the CORE saving doctrines. You R confusing intentional corrupted Mormon interpretations from the Book of Mormon. Nothing was lost from the New Testament: your indoctrinated statements are pathetic ignorance.

The hardest task you and I have is learning to recognize the voice of the Holy Ghost. It’s a life long process that I’m still developing, however one thing I’ve learned for certain, and that I know to be true in my bones, is that the Book of Mormon verifies the truth of the Bible. Before you make such claims, I encourage you to sincerely read the Book of Mormon with a soft heart. You’ll find your relationship with Jesus Christ and your understanding of your dependence upon Him will deepen.

I agree. What does this mean to you?

@@WhatBibleSay to me it means to really study the Scriptures asking the Holy Spirit for discernment. He never disappoints.

The highest and true worship must have a sacrifice. Worship with sacrifice was not only done by the Jews in the Old Testament. Pagans also made sacrifices when they worshiped their idols. For the Jews, they used lambs as sacrifices in their worship of God. But for Christians, Jesus is the sacrifice. He is the perfect sacrifice for the true worship. When you preach, pray, sing, or dance only, you are not yet worshipping in the highest way.

The Jews sacrificed lambs or other animals as a symbol of Jesus Christ.

I believe Enoch was a righteous prophet. I also believe the writing of the ancient prophets have been altered or manipulated. So it’s important to read all ancient scripture in context of the writing of other scripture and prophets.

Well, we know that the Pharisees in the time of Jesus, who were in charge of the sacred records, had a version of the law of Moses that was quite different from when Jehovah originally gave it to Moses. Jesus, who knew God will perfectly had no problem picking corn or healing on the Sabbath, as an example. Do I believe all the writing of the Jews to be scripture?… well as long as it was written by a prophet of God, and its purity and truth have been preserved.

Good point.
