- Animation of the church growth globally from 1820 to 2021. The animation includes major church events, countries with missions, and operating temples.
It's fun seeing the exact moment that Gordon B. Hinckley started flooding the Earth with temples.
Its slowly returning to the jews just like in jacob. Antis are our biggest fans. Thanks for the video counts.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Kingdom of God on the earth. It will continue to roll forward to fill the whole earth as prophesied in Daniel. No unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing!
😂
The rolling forward of the kingdom seems to be moving at a snails pace...I mean what is the percentage of Mormons right now...1%??
Most churches act like (and say) Jesus is coming any minute now...
Growing up Mormon, they assured us that he would come within our lifetime....??
You aren't a God in embryo. You will never be a god. Your religion is false. Repent
This is amazing!
It was really cool cause when the USSR fell, all the countries part of it were soon flooded with missions
How are those missions in Russia doing now?
There are 2 come back podcasts filled up with people who have come back i read one third have left the church but at the same time it is growing and always will
So crazy to see when I was gathered under president hinckleys watch the earth was being flooded with temples I was gathered at the precise time.
You should show the numbers of inactive members, apostates, and ones that left the church as a whole as well
You first! Post your religions' map of the same!
There was a study recently that 61 percent of LDS are active, and being the most active religion, with 30% Protestants and catholics, are active
@@unitedempireofamerica6414 cool. But what's the growth rate? What's the ratio of people being baptized and active to leaving the church or becoming inactive
@christopherhardy8937 In 2012, there were 14 million 73% were activity 2024 17.25 million, 61% activity. It's been consistently. 10.5 million active members for the past 12 years. non activities and people who left the church, it's hard to till because unactive members could still believe in the church and the book of mormon, and the people who left the church could have naver had there records removed
@@unitedempireofamerica6414 so it's been steady is what you are implying
This got me thinking.. say if I lived in Nigeria back in like the 80’s and 90’s, far away from any temple, would that make me less faithful and worthy than someone who lives in Utah whom would have easier access to a temple and would be able to go like every other week?
As a formon(former Mormon) I can't understand why the organization that tried to instill values like honesty and integrity into it's members, would struggle so hard with being transparent with it's finances and basic history.... That being said, I think that ALL churches should have to show ALL their financials, just like every other non-profit organization does...Especially if they are receiving the awesome tax exemption (and they most certainly do!)
I mean, why do they deserve special treatment over other non-profit organizations?? Have the churches proven that they are immune to financial scandals or misappropriation of funds??
Of COURSE they haven't!!
The more emphasis which is put on growth to support truth claims, the harder it is to swallow as the church begins to decline.
It’s a peepee size contest
Ok, so how many are actually active? Now show a map of the growing inactive members.
Where is your religion's map?
@@cameronvantassell9483 Our church is only true church, owned and operated by Jesus Christ. In order to be a member all you must do is believe in him. So to see a “map” of our religion? Check the globe. 🫶
@@cameronvantassell9483imagine needing a theology to think for you
@advocate7643 That's the funniest part about criticism like this. You understand the theology so little that you believe what you are saying is right. It's better than denying any theology but then stealing from it to make your worldview work.
@@cameronvantassell9483oh cameron, hear the words of my mouth
More and more members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are now embracing, studying and sharing latter-day revelation:
Chapter 12
Chapter 18
Chapter 20
Of the complimentary book to the "Book of Mormon PDF", which is:
"The Sealed Portion, The FINAL Testament of Jesus Christ PDF"
Wow
And the mormon church lies about its membership numbers too
And to think that the current Prophet, President Russell M Nelson has now announced half of the Lords Temples.
Do you need to pay 10% of your income to the LDS church, in order to enter the temple?
Yep. And then they take that money and use it to make more money for themselves, but if you don't pay, no temple. It's ok though since the temple ceremony is just a bastardized version of the masonic ceremony shoehorned into a pseudo Christian theology based on a myth of Adam and Eve who never existed.
Yes
@@wesleykarnes does that mean that to enter the celestial kingdom you must pay the church 10%?
Is our exaltation held do a different standard than those before the church was restored? eg. everyone before 1830?
@@mikkifrompreston4396 If you really do a deep dive into Joseph Smith, you'll see that most of what he wrote as doctrine was pulled directly from his ass! He translated NOTHING! He was giving revelation and the church admits this on their website in the Gospel Topic Essays...So, I wouldn't put too much stock into his breakdown of the hereafter....
THAT, coupled with the fact that the first presidency(and the one before that, and the one before that, etc, etc) have been sitting on all the dirty little secrets of Joseph Smith for decades...
.....just sayin'
Malachi 3/10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it
Numbers 18/26
Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the Lord, even a tenth part of the tithe.
Malachi 3/8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
Luke 18/12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess
15 millones?
Lol and now membership is shrinking.
Then why are there new temples being built then?
@RichardHolmes-ll8ii because Nelson is on an announcing Spree to have the all time record for most temples built to beat out Hinkley. You realize how many temples are understaffed? Most struggle to keep enough members in there the keep them running because Nelson stopped following the criteria for how one gets built and jury started naming them willy nilly. Most won't see the light of day for over a decade, and by then, it will be too late. Not to mention, temples are built often by member owned companies with ties to general authorities, and much of that work is done at sometimes 3-4× the cost of standard prices, funneling that sweet tithing money into their pockets.
lol
@@nello1591
Dude you sound like a conspiracy theorist 😄
@Robert-rw5lm perhaps the leaders of the church are literally conspiring to obtain members, tell them how to live, how to give their money, how to give their time to the church, to volunteer, clean buildings, go on missions, share their beliefs, all in an effort to get more tithe paying members. It's not a theory, it's what's happening.
Yeah but what’s the attrition rate? It would be interested to see how many active members of the church there are coordinated with the adoption of social media
Activity rates are pretty low. Somewhere between 40-55 percent depending on the country.
The attrition rate is high. Only 60% of the members hold a 'temple recommend.'
Less than half of those eligible never serve a mission. Half of all missionaries leave the church after returning. The Great Salt Lake is drying up exposing all those around it to toxic chemicals.
The internet has certainly been a huge factor in exposing this religion.
What is your response to the reality of Paul Gregersen debunking the arrogant Egyptologist opinions against Joseph Smith?
@@RichardHolmes-ll8ii didn't Paul gregersen take the approach that the papyrus was a catalyst and not a direct translation?
@RichardHolmes-ll8ii
Jesus Christ never required anyone to believe the Book of Mormon is true to get to the 'top level' of heaven. ❤️
That is good news. Most people in the United States have never heard of the Book of Mormon, much less the billions of people around the world. Only the word of the Lord endures forever.
There's a sucker born every minute....
Mate this is great thank you!
I love LDS classical music, I no longer attend the LDS church and now that I attend an evangelical church I really enjoy modern Christian music.
I agree, whether classical or modern, there is something special about music devoted to Christ. You can feel the heart and soul put into it and feel the Spirit testify of its truth! 😁
Might I ask why you left?
There will be 12 to 15 temples finishing construction this year
Just imagine for a second that the church is not true and how much money those12-15 temples cost (plus the man hours..)and how many people that would feed...
@wesleykarnes the Temple Provide jobs In construction, maintenance, and landscaping. You can also put this the other way around and say what if the church is true and say what about the billions of people that need the saving ordinances of the temple for the living and dead
@@unitedempireofamerica6414 I guess my question to TBM's is Who called on the Mormons to be the saviors of the world? Don't you guys have a savior already? It just seems a little arrogant to think that God and Jesus needs your help saving all the souls...I was raised in the church and have been recovering for many years...I call it my DE-conversion...
@wesleykarnes if the church is true, then we are the only ones who have priesthood authority to do the work for dead. John 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.
1 Peter 5/6
For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
1 Corinthians 15/29
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?
@wesleykarnes But at the end of the day, millions of people believe in the church. We are not gonna give up what we believe in because others disagree. We believe the works in the temple are needed
And that the Temple is the house of the Lord will you can Escape Wickedness of day-to-day life and feel the love and peace in the Temple and it represents heaven will we can be in the Presence of God, the father and his son, Jesus Christ.
It's confusing to me, I have a learning disability, it's hard for me to follow.
