Satan has Gentiles out fighting against Jesus Christ's only true Church all the time, but the Apostle Paul explained that Gentiles are “without Christ” and “strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope.” They are “without God in the world,” and all because they are “aliens from the commonwealth of Israel” (Ephesians 2:11-12).

Brother this man is Anointed by God. And well versed and studies. Believe you me he is a broken man just like the rest of us he has simply been anointed and gifted to retain and understand and share what such wisdom be encouraged we can grow in such things as well. Reckon ourselves dead and allow Jesus to live through us. It is finish!
Jeff Durbin never gives interpretation, in do not hear him say "I think...." he simply quotes the Bible. It's clear and concise, whether or not you believe it is up to you. You choose.
Raul Navarrete, he never interprets, because he cannot, he does not have the Old World education on the meaning of Hebrew, Egyptian & Greek. He does not have the inspired credentials a living prophet & living Apostles have. His channel/church doesn’t even bear the name of Him who is the Cornerstone of his church, even Jesus Christ. 😊
Respect to those boys, being told their beliefs were wrong and that they worshiped a false Christ. Not one word of disagreement or contention came from their mouth. Great examples.
Carlos Valdez Jr Mormons believe in most of the same things as other christians. The only reason most don’t agree with them is because they have another testament of Christ. They don’t discount the Bible. They use both the Bible and the Book of Mormon. The Bible is Jesus’ time in the Middle East. The Book of Mormon is Jesus’ time after he was resurrected and visited the people in the americas. time They just don’t believe in the trinity. They believe the father, the son, and the Holy Ghost are three separate people. While there are differences, those Mormons are not too different from the rest of Christianity.
@@BlueFlame414mdftw 100% false. They believe in a COMPLETELY different christ. Like it or not that is true. Jeff Durbin shows this over and over and over again and backs it with scripture. I pray you truly listen to what he says with an open heart. The book of mormon simply can not be true. It gives testimony about things that just can not be true. It mentions metals in the new world that just did not exist yet. It mentions animals that were not in the americas yet. It mentions plants that did NOT exist here yet. Joseph smith is a snake oil salesman and i pray you realize this before it is too late.
He is just not gonna interrupt because they feel no need to rant off to him about their religion as this man does. Just because they are not completely knowledgeable doesn’t mean that they’re wrong. They are being respectful and not forcing anything on him like this man does to every person he meets telling them they need to repent, a true and loving gospel wouldn’t act that way. Whether a 40 yr old man who has dedicated his life to prove against the Mormon church can say more words then 22 yr old men or not doesn’t mean one is true. Just look at which one seems more at peace. All im gonna say
I genuinely burst out laughing at this comment. The image of his demeanour and that he was 'literally' hungry for the Gospel hit some sort of nerve in my funnybone. God bless.
Agreed. You can tell by his facial expression, even for just the first few minutes, that he's listening with pure intent. Whereas the other guy is like 'go ahead and say what you want, not changing my mind.'

Amen, ultimately, (when you're ministering to someone) you may be speaking with your future new good friend in Christ. So precious the way we love and approach someone. My brother always tells me; the less you're loving the someone, is the most you're loving God. In what he means is, we love Christ even through how we love others, and if we aren't loving others then how can we say we're loving Christ?
Pastor Jeff is an artist of persuasion, he is one of the many Antichrist the Holy Bible forewarns us of. He is evil and he is sucking you all in if you think he was in any way teaching the truth. I wished that I was the one there asking him about the scriptures he doesn’t touch on. He is a deceiver of men, he is teaching the philosophies of men not God, If you can’t see this the it is my guess you are not understanding the words of the prophets, Paul is one of the greatest apostles teaching the people the word of God very simply and Jeff twist and turn his words around so the majority of God’s children don’t even understand them. Jeff is a servant for the Devil, he is is eloquent in telling lies, and making a mockery of the Holy Bible.
Jan Leyba Actually it was the other way around. Joseph Smith did not like Christianity. It was of the devil, all wrong, anti Christ (like you just posted), Christians were deceived by Satan...... So, Joseph Smith invented his own god who was once a man and a sex addict just like he was. This is called idolatry, when you make a god that you feel comfortable with. A god of your imagination. Then he told his followers that they, too could have endless sex in the afterlife. This is called lying. Jesus said we would be as the angels and that death ended marriage. I Cor. 7:2 Joseph Smith was also a blasphemer. He mocked God and said God was once a man and he mocked Jesus Christ and said he was the brother of Lucifer. And of course everyone knows that Joseph Smith was an adulterer. He married 15 women in 1842 alone and lied about it four times in writing that year, married eleven women who were already married to other men (so much for their 'forever' families), married two sets of sisters, two sets of a mother and her daughter, ordered a printing press destroyed that printed things he didn't like, had himself anointed king of the earth during the millenium, etc., etc.. Your LDS 'heavenly father' approves of such wicked behavior. And you even worship him. How sad. If Joseph Smith were alive today he would be arrested. More importantly he would be diagnosed as having Bipolar Disorder, hpersexualization and delusional thinking. You are following the teachings of an extremely mentally ill man. Do you know of any married man who thinks he will be married to other men's wives in the afterlife? How many married men do you know married 15 women last year? How many married men are married to two sets of sister? Two sets of a mother and a daughter? Your heavenly father has very low morals.
This is why us as Christians need to be rooted in the word... The way he points to direct passages and backs them up is incredible. The Holy Spirit was at work in this video ✝️
Yes, Daniela, it must be, for some. It wasn't so much for me. I still knew the people I'd grown up around had my best interests at heart, but, like me, they were also deceived. It is such a joy to receive the Holy Spirit of God that all else pales in comparison! :)
Daniela M. I was thinking the same thing. We need to pray for these young men. The one on the right looks as if he is hearing the gospel for the very first time and soaking in every word. Lord Jesus, give him the faith and courage to turn away from the false gospel of Mormonism.
To have someone approach you and with the use of scripture disprove the false church and belief system you grew up in and instead of arguing you have a discussion and show nothing but respect well done to all involved. I pray since this conversation these guys have found truth and are saved with Christ. God bless them
Dude with the glasses is about to kick Mormonism to the curb lol. He's takin it all in like oh man oh man! I believe! I believe! Pick me! This other guy is not havin it. His countenance just exudes pride. But hopefully he will one day be a believer!
Haha. I was thinking the same thing. The kid with the glasses was like oh my god this sounds sooo good. His mouth was open the whole time just like in awe.
+Theresa Welsh it might not be that he didn't want to believe, it's just a lot to take in at once, maybe he needed time to absorb it all in. It's not as easy as 123 . I love Mormons. They are the most passionate people I've met. Most humble, I believe he will find the truth some day.
Lol god I hope so. You. An see him connecting taking it in I this makes sense not the stuff you've been telling me. I so hope he leaves the lds church. He just seems to connect more with Jeff's preachings
Good is an adjective, adjectives describe nouns. A “good explainer”. Well is an adverb, adverbs describe verbs, “explains well” You can tell because they usually end in “ly”. He explains beautifully, eloquently, quickly, but there are exceptions, like “well.”
Wow, you can tell the quiet guy was really listening! Praise God! I'm 4 years late seeing this, but praying he has or will come to know the true God! Praying both of them will!
i cant imagine being the amount of confusion these kids must be feeling. The kid on the right looks so shook. Jeff is doing gods work planting these seeds and opening these kids up to the true gospel.
I think of J.C. Ryle when he said “humility and silence are beautiful graces in young people.” These two have shown that here. It truly is beautiful to see.
Love your ministry, Jeff! Our pastor said during a sermon a few months ago regarding the cults, and this has always stuck with me, that 'Jesus cares so much for us that He would never leave our salvation up to us' . Meaning no amount of good works will ever be enough. Keep up the good fight, brother.
pastor Jeff voice and tone are so authentic and calming. I love his demeanor. regardless who he's talking to or the settings he's never upset or combative. Holy Spirit all over him.
But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully. 2 Corinthians 11:3-4
Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
I was an atheist too and never thought any ‘real’ atheist could be converted. Thank the Lord, Jesus Christ that He pursued me. I pray you too find Him. He loves you.
@Kevin Johnson I would like to add that my intellect and need to feel smarter than others led me to atheism. I didn't like authority in religion or school or parents but didn't realize I was trading their authority for authority in atheists and scientists without investigating for myself. I was lazy and found a home for a while to hang my hat in the 'comfort' of ignorance of God. God had other plans for me, praise the Lord.
Bman I have a good friend who is a Christian believer that lived in Utah for 10 years. He said he had snow shoveled off his driveway for the first two years he was there by Mormons, but when they figured out he was never going to convert to the LDS church they quit shoveling snow. Why? Because they are fake.
As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints I can tell you we love Christ and his teachings. We know it's only though him and his grace that we are saved. We learn of him and do our best to keep his commandments. It's interesting to hear people say we are not Christians or that we don't know him. I beg to differ.
I've been to the Mormon church as I was searching for a high power at the time. What I learned is Mormons don't even preach the Bible they teach from the book of Mormon , and pick out passages from the Bible out of context to explain what the book of Mormon says. What I don't get are the cult like activitys in the temples. Similar to free masonary. Mormon people are some of the best people I know. Most of them are 3 generations into the church so they are stuck and indoctrinated into Mormonism. Jesus warned of false prophets and false religions im Sorry your not a Christian because there's only one Jesus Christ and he's not Satan's brother like Mormons believe, that's so blasphemous it makes me sad. The book of Mormon was created from Joseph Smith a known con artist , so many things wrong with the cult makes it so obvious that it's fake. But it's okay we all get judge one day , all I can say is at least atempt questioning your religion and if there are to many unanswered question the real Jesus will guide you too the truth. God bless 🙏 . I hope you find jesus
When I watched this 4 years ago it was just the beginning of understanding what I wasn't and what I was to become! God used Jeff and these mormon videos to bring me to the truth. I had never heard the gospel like this nor a thing about apologetics!! God is do good!!
Jeff! God bless you, brother. Thank you for loving by patiently and graciously revealing the word of God. I am so inspired and grateful for this channel. Love Love Love
Where can we get a copy of the tract that you hand out to Mormons? Great job! The guy in the hat was taking it all in. It looked like he heard the gospel for the first time. Praise the Lord.
*"It looked like he heard the gospel for the first time."* He was probably just pleased that Mr. Durbin was saying things that match with what LDS believe.
Wow! I’m captivated by the young man on the right, he’s so hungry for what this minister of the Word is saying....he’s ripe for the picking!! My heart is moved to tears over this. I have such a love and burden for the Mormons. God bless you and your ministry. I take comfort and encouragement in your videos. Look at these young men LISTENING to the truth. I hope God grants them a deeper desire for more and to have the courage to face it!!! ♥️💕♥️💕♥️
What a lovingly and beautifully presented gospel! The young man on the right, as many have noticed, is soaking in every word. Around the 12 minute mark, the guy on the left glances over to the young man in the glasses, as if he’s concerned that his friend is actually listening to Jeff and considering the truth of the Christian gospel. I’m praying that this young man, who was born and raised a Mormon, believes on the Lord Jesus Christ and is saved.
I’m a born again Christian that has loved the LDS people since 2010. I’m like Jeff that way. God has put it in my heart to love the LDS people and share the gospel with them as well. Unfortunately sometimes they don’t understand my purpose for discussing the matter with them. I’m not interested in debating. I’m interested in sharing the Gospel with them. And I know that it’s not just me and Jeff Durbin that love the LDS. There are many born again Christians that do. Sometimes we don’t always no the best way to share the Gospel. And listening to Jeff helps me to understand better how to do it.
This is definitely the best conversation between great Christians this is very humble and Christlike so I know the spirit was with them all and they came prepare God is always good and faithful this is love.😇
*" I believe that when a LDS reads the NT to search for truth, the truth will be found!!"* Of course truth will be found. The entire bible (KJV) is very much a part of official LDS doctrine. In fact, everything the Book of Mormon says about Jesus Christ and his teachings, the Bible agrees with.
JediMormon so sence the entire Bible is where the Mormons get their doctrine, I'll just pick one verse sence they believe in the entire Bible. Isaiah 43:10-11 KJV "Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. 11. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
I’m impressed with how Jeff is able to engage with people, even those who would be hostile toward him, in love. He can very clearly and firmly disagree with them without being personally offensive. If they are going to be offended, it will be by the truth of scripture, not by his conduct. It is a gift.
Great work, God bless the work you do. The boy with the hat never budged, he was mesmerized hearing the truth of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ for the first time! I pray they both come to know Jesus and look back on this night!
Wow, goosebumps! This should be shown to all people who think that 'religions always cause wars and disagreement'. This was a really good conversation, Jeff said more times that he loved them and that he wasn't holding the conversation to condemn them. This was led by the Holy Spririt!
Dude your clearly Holy Spirit inspired. I so love the way you share the gospel with mormons. I Pray blessings and wisdom over Gods servant Pastor Jeff !!!!! I know I’m not telling you anything different than God the father has showed you, but I just wanted you my brother n Christ to know We true Christians stand with the calling God has put on your life . Jesus is Lord!!!
You do this with complete honesty and love that's were I go wrong your great man I could break in tears for what you are doing for these young men I hope god helps me do the same god bless
God bless you and your ministry. I have been inspired by your gentle approach toward believers of false doctrine. Your knowledge of scripture and jw/mormon doctrine is an example for all followers of Christ Jesus, our Lord. Thank you.
Prayer to God the the storehouses of heaven be opened up and that blessings will be poured out of Apologia church. To God be the Glory, keep up the great work Jeff.
Thank you Jeff, Glory to God, for the truth! Jeff you are called by God to do this, I am so impressed by your patience and compassion, you are a true man of God, thank you again!!
Wow, Pastor Jeff. God is so much more and will speak to you personally If only you will get to know him through his word. I worry bout those believing with blind faith trusting there minister to do the reading.so much respect for you. Im learning how to make disciples of all nations.
One of the things I struggle with when sharing the gospel with mormons is that they seem to agree with what you are saying, and this ofcourse is because we use the same language as Jeff said here. It can be hard to break these moulds. I remember mentioning the trinity and getting a chance to explain it and the young guys basically said, "yup, we believe that too". It's hard. I think the right thing to do is point to Jesus I'm the scriptures and what he has to say unto things. Well done Jeff.
I absolutely LOVE how Apologia cares so much for the Mormons, you can feel it…they are truly amazing disciples of Christ!🥹 Yes, We ♥️ love our fellow Mormon Family, I hope we all continue to pray for them & continue to share biblical truths & connect with them. They are good people & I believe most of them truly do want to know God’s truth. Let’s not give up on each other. When I was Mormon, God pursued my heart & never gave up on me, he showed me the truth because I was searching for it. Anyone truly searching for Gods truth, I promise you, God WILL show it to you, it may not be easy to accept at first, but trust me, JESUS IS DEFINITELY WORTH IT!😉 Thank you Jesus for this channel & the incredible work these men of God are doing to help bring home the lost. God is so good!💪 🙏🥹♥️ Praise Jesus! God Bless🙏♥️✝️
I Love this preacher all his points are exactly why I was able to untwist my mind and heart from the Mormon church. The Bible warns against it and completely contradicts the Mormon teachings.
Looked like a ton of conviction came down on those young men Jeff, praise God. You ministry is a blessing in my life and it makes me want to be a better Christian.
MeDaryl2112 I would agree with you about the pleasant nature of Mormons. But the cult they have fallen into is a deadly and difficult trap to escape from. Satan is most effective when he’s subtle. Mixing truth with lies and playing to the pride of man through good works.
I am a Mormon and this man just doesn’t understand what is true and what isn’t, he has clearly done his research. This doesn’t mean he tells facts, he preaches only by word, when Mormons preach through doctorine and revelation given to us through our prophet. We can pray and feel for ourselves what is true, this man only blabbers facts. And cults are a newly found religion, you simply can become new again without conversion.
cult noun a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object. If Mormons are a cult, so is all religion. The term “cult” is commonly misunderstood.
EveryThingYouNeed This pastor has a deep knowledge of scripture and Mormon doctrine. These kids didn’t dispute his knowledge of Mormon scripture. The great thing is that these kids didn’t get agitated and flea once they had no response as many more “trained” Mormons are triggered to do once confronted. There is only one Truth and that amazing Truth is my savior and has always been. He didn’t aspire to become God, nor did the Father. We cannot become the Father, the Son or the Holy Spirit. Grace is something available to those who know who Christ Jesus is and are willing to sacrifice themselves for Him. I pray you will. Thank you, Lord.
I enjoy watching these videos as a Jewish person because what Christians think of Mormons (believing in more than one God, adding to scripture, contradicting the word of God, contradicting previous revelations from God, believing in idols, etc) is exactly what we think of Christians.
WOW! This pastor is very loving and full of light but knows how to shine it properly. It would be a disservice to praise this man so I will praise Christ. God bless!
John Patricio, I don’t agree and I most certainly pray that I am right. I think he was flabbergasted at how easy it was for Jeff to lie about the meaning of scriptures etc.

Praise Him! Your story gave me shivers!

Jan Leyba Actually it was the other way around. Joseph Smith did not like Christianity. It was of the devil, all wrong, anti Christ (like you just posted), Christians were deceived by Satan......
So, Joseph Smith invented his own god who was once a man and a sex addict just like he was. This is called idolatry, when you make a god that you feel comfortable with. A god of your imagination. Then he told his followers that they, too could have endless sex in the afterlife. This is called lying. Jesus said we would be as the angels and that death ended marriage. I Cor. 7:2
Joseph Smith was also a blasphemer. He mocked God and said God was once a man and he mocked Jesus Christ and said he was the brother of Lucifer. And of course everyone knows that Joseph Smith was an adulterer. He married 15 women in 1842 alone and lied about it four times in writing that year, married eleven women who were already married to other men (so much for their 'forever' families), married two sets of sisters, two sets of a mother and her daughter, ordered a printing press destroyed that printed things he didn't like, had himself anointed king of the earth during the millenium, etc., etc..
Your LDS 'heavenly father' approves of such wicked behavior. And you even worship him. How sad.
If Joseph Smith were alive today he would be arrested. More importantly he would be diagnosed as having Bipolar Disorder, hpersexualization and delusional thinking.
You are following the teachings of an extremely mentally ill man. Do you know of any married man who thinks he will be married to other men's wives in the afterlife? How many married men do you know married 15 women last year? How many married men are married to two sets of sister? Two sets of a mother and a daughter? Your heavenly father has very low morals.
This is why us as Christians need to be rooted in the word... The way he points to direct passages and backs them up is incredible. The Holy Spirit was at work in this video ✝️
How crushed must someone be to learn something since a child and now know that it is false. Please pray for them
Yes, Daniela, it must be, for some. It wasn't so much for me. I still knew the people I'd grown up around had my best interests at heart, but, like me, they were also deceived. It is such a joy to receive the Holy Spirit of God that all else pales in comparison! :)
Daniela M. I was thinking the same thing. We need to pray for these young men. The one on the right looks as if he is hearing the gospel for the very first time and soaking in every word. Lord Jesus, give him the faith and courage to turn away from the false gospel of Mormonism.
that's why im glad im not religious... must suck for them when they find out it was all just man's idea.
Rational stance for me.
ThadoS "must suck for them when they find out it was all just man's idea"
Says a man, with finite knowledge, who has an idea. :)
you dont need to have infinite knowledge to know Gods do not exist, you just need an active brain... :)
Very nice! The young man on the right was focused on Jeff's words like a laser beam!
Praying for these guys.
Yeah, I noticed that too!
To have someone approach you and with the use of scripture disprove the false church and belief system you grew up in and instead of arguing you have a discussion and show nothing but respect well done to all involved. I pray since this conversation these guys have found truth and are saved with Christ. God bless them
Dude with the glasses is about to kick Mormonism to the curb lol. He's takin it all in like oh man oh man! I believe! I believe! Pick me! This other guy is not havin it. His countenance just exudes pride. But hopefully he will one day be a believer!
Haha. I was thinking the same thing. The kid with the glasses was like oh my god this sounds sooo good. His mouth was open the whole time just like in awe.
You don't know what's going through his head, he may be taking it all in just like the other dude
Cobrauh Maybe maybe not! 😊
+Theresa Welsh it might not be that he didn't want to believe, it's just a lot to take in at once, maybe he needed time to absorb it all in. It's not as easy as 123 . I love Mormons. They are the most passionate people I've met. Most humble, I believe he will find the truth some day.
Lol god I hope so. You. An see him connecting taking it in I this makes sense not the stuff you've been telling me. I so hope he leaves the lds church. He just seems to connect more with Jeff's preachings
Jeff durbin explains the bible really good . thanks jeff
He isn't explaining anything. He literally reads it. Amazing how God can reveal his word, if we seek him. Thanks be to God for his mercy.
Austin Mathew95 really well* and he doesn't.
Good is an adjective, adjectives describe nouns. A “good explainer”. Well is an adverb, adverbs describe verbs, “explains well” You can tell because they usually end in “ly”. He explains beautifully, eloquently, quickly, but there are exceptions, like “well.”
Wow, you can tell the quiet guy was really listening! Praise God! I'm 4 years late seeing this, but praying he has or will come to know the true God! Praying both of them will!
i cant imagine being the amount of confusion these kids must be feeling. The kid on the right looks so shook. Jeff is doing gods work planting these seeds and opening these kids up to the true gospel.
I think of J.C. Ryle when he said “humility and silence are beautiful graces in young people.” These two have shown that here. It truly is beautiful to see.
Wow, that was amazing! God bless you, Jeff!
How many people are praying for these men that they may be saved and God will give them a new heart and put His Spirit within them?
Love your ministry, Jeff! Our pastor said during a sermon a few months ago regarding the cults, and this has always stuck with me, that 'Jesus cares so much for us that He would never leave our salvation up to us' . Meaning no amount of good works will ever be enough. Keep up the good fight, brother.
The amount of grace and love shown in this video is amazing. Thank you Holy Spirit for speaking through this man of God
pastor Jeff voice and tone are so authentic and calming. I love his demeanor. regardless who he's talking to or the settings he's never upset or combative. Holy Spirit all over him.
"The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately sick; Who can understand it?
Jeremiah 17:9
But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully.
2 Corinthians 11:3-4
Proverbs 3:5-6
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding
in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
I find this to be very interesting as an Atheist.
Like watching Marvel fans debate with D.C. fans, am I right :D
@@enigmaticvaran6597 no
Jesus Christ is LORD and he put this in your path to see how Jesus Christ is the way to the father ✝️
I was an atheist too and never thought any ‘real’ atheist could be converted. Thank the Lord, Jesus Christ that He pursued me. I pray you too find Him. He loves you.
@Kevin Johnson I would like to add that my intellect and need to feel smarter than others led me to atheism. I didn't like authority in religion or school or parents but didn't realize I was trading their authority for authority in atheists and scientists without investigating for myself. I was lazy and found a home for a while to hang my hat in the 'comfort' of ignorance of God. God had other plans for me, praise the Lord.
I love Mormons. I've never met more kind loving people in my life.
Yeah they are kind but it's almost a fake patronizing kind to dupe you in their cult. Same w Scientology, same w all cults. They want your money
@@deathlarsen7502 Harah and wrong. genuine people just trying to follow God
Bman I have a good friend who is a Christian believer that lived in Utah for 10 years. He said he had snow shoveled off his driveway for the first two years he was there by Mormons, but when they figured out he was never going to convert to the LDS church they quit shoveling snow. Why? Because they are fake.
Julia Peach you said condescending twice lol.
I was Mormon my entire life, so I know it first hand. It’s a tactic that they do. They’re under so much pressure as well
Absolutely LOVE how our Lord is using you and your ministry! Can't get enough of it.
As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints I can tell you we love Christ and his teachings. We know it's only though him and his grace that we are saved. We learn of him and do our best to keep his commandments. It's interesting to hear people say we are not Christians or that we don't know him. I beg to differ.
I've been to the Mormon church as I was searching for a high power at the time. What I learned is Mormons don't even preach the Bible they teach from the book of Mormon , and pick out passages from the Bible out of context to explain what the book of Mormon says. What I don't get are the cult like activitys in the temples. Similar to free masonary. Mormon people are some of the best people I know. Most of them are 3 generations into the church so they are stuck and indoctrinated into Mormonism. Jesus warned of false prophets and false religions im Sorry your not a Christian because there's only one Jesus Christ and he's not Satan's brother like Mormons believe, that's so blasphemous it makes me sad. The book of Mormon was created from Joseph Smith a known con artist , so many things wrong with the cult makes it so obvious that it's fake. But it's okay we all get judge one day , all I can say is at least atempt questioning your religion and if there are to many unanswered question the real Jesus will guide you too the truth. God bless 🙏 . I hope you find jesus
When I watched this 4 years ago it was just the beginning of understanding what I wasn't and what I was to become! God used Jeff and these mormon videos to bring me to the truth. I had never heard the gospel like this nor a thing about apologetics!! God is do good!!
Excellent job Jeff. Very encouraging.
The kid in the hat looks like he’s on the verge of my tears. I pray he truly heard Gods word. ❤️
Jeff! God bless you, brother. Thank you for loving by patiently and graciously revealing the word of God. I am so inspired and grateful for this channel. Love Love Love
Where can we get a copy of the tract that you hand out to Mormons?
Great job! The guy in the hat was taking it all in. It looked like he heard the gospel for the first time. Praise the Lord.
DaJuanbobo thanks so much. It will be put to good use.
DaJuanbobo thank you
Sure Deal
Thanks DaJuanbobo
*"It looked like he heard the gospel for the first time."*
He was probably just pleased that Mr. Durbin was saying things that match with what LDS believe.
Wow! I’m captivated by the young man on the right, he’s so hungry for what this minister of the Word is saying....he’s ripe for the picking!! My heart is moved to tears over this. I have such a love and burden for the Mormons. God bless you and your ministry. I take comfort and encouragement in your videos. Look at these young men LISTENING to the truth. I hope God grants them a deeper desire for more and to have the courage to face it!!! ♥️💕♥️💕♥️
So professionally done. He lovingly showed them the differences, yet still brought up similarities to keep them engaged. Keep going Jeff. God bless
The guy in the hat looks like Jeff just slayed his whole life 😱😱😱😱😱👍🏽
Kid with glasses was definitively intrigued by the very, very good explanation! God bless you Jeff!
What a lovingly and beautifully presented gospel! The young man on the right, as many have noticed, is soaking in every word. Around the 12 minute mark, the guy on the left glances over to the young man in the glasses, as if he’s concerned that his friend is actually listening to Jeff and considering the truth of the Christian gospel. I’m praying that this young man, who was born and raised a Mormon, believes on the Lord Jesus Christ and is saved.
I have a friend who is a Mormon. I pray that I get the chance to tell him about Christ some day and he comes to know Christ.
He’s in a Church that teaches that coming to Christ is absolutely required, have you visited his congregation before?
@The Rooted Pilgrim No. (Hey thank you for reminding me about this)
I’m a born again Christian that has loved the LDS people since 2010. I’m like Jeff that way. God has put it in my heart to love the LDS people and share the gospel with them as well. Unfortunately sometimes they don’t understand my purpose for discussing the matter with them. I’m not interested in debating. I’m interested in sharing the Gospel with them. And I know that it’s not just me and Jeff Durbin that love the LDS. There are many born again Christians that do. Sometimes we don’t always no the best way to share the Gospel. And listening to Jeff helps me to understand better how to do it.
Sooooooooo gooooood! Thank you for doing what you do. To God, be the praise and glory.
This is definitely the best conversation between great Christians this is very humble and Christlike so I know the spirit was with them all and they came prepare God is always good and faithful this is love.😇
the guy in the hat looks like he is about to convert. praying he does!
Jezz Johnson Right?! His face looked like he was hearing the truth for the first time! Glory!
Jezz Johnson The spirit was clearly convicting him✊✊
*" I believe that when a LDS reads the NT to search for truth, the truth will be found!!"*
Of course truth will be found. The entire bible (KJV) is very much a part of official LDS doctrine. In fact, everything the Book of Mormon says about Jesus Christ and his teachings, the Bible agrees with.
JediMormon so sence the entire Bible is where the Mormons get their doctrine, I'll just pick one verse sence they believe in the entire Bible. Isaiah 43:10-11 KJV
"Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
11. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
JediMormon You have to be a troll.
I’m impressed with how Jeff is able to engage with people, even those who would be hostile toward him, in love. He can very clearly and firmly disagree with them without being personally offensive. If they are going to be offended, it will be by the truth of scripture, not by his conduct. It is a gift.
Great work, God bless the work you do. The boy with the hat never budged, he was mesmerized hearing the truth of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ for the first time! I pray they both come to know Jesus and look back on this night!
Wow, goosebumps! This should be shown to all people who think that 'religions always cause wars and disagreement'. This was a really good conversation, Jeff said more times that he loved them and that he wasn't holding the conversation to condemn them. This was led by the Holy Spririt!
What an encouraging video! God bless you Jeff. I can imagine how this conversation moved so deeply these two gentlemen.
I enjoy to watch how he refutes, corrects, and educates only through the BIBLE and absolute truth. I support you Pastor Jeff bro.
Dude your clearly Holy Spirit inspired. I so love the way you share the gospel with mormons. I Pray blessings and wisdom over Gods servant Pastor Jeff !!!!!
I know I’m not telling you anything different than God the father has showed you, but I just wanted you my brother n Christ to know We true Christians stand with the calling God has put on your life .
Jesus is Lord!!!
There is hope for these kids. Thank you for your work of love, Brother. May our Lord Jesus Christ bless you and your labour!!
5 years later, I pray they've come to faith!
You do this with complete honesty and love that's were I go wrong your great man I could break in tears for what you are doing for these young men I hope god helps me do the same god bless
God bless you and your ministry. I have been inspired by your gentle approach toward believers of false doctrine. Your knowledge of scripture and jw/mormon doctrine is an example for all followers of Christ Jesus, our Lord. Thank you.
I'm always so impressed by Jeff's gentleness when he speaks to people.
Prayer to God the the storehouses of heaven be opened up and that blessings will be poured out of Apologia church. To God be the Glory, keep up the great work Jeff.
I wish I had the clear mindedness as this pastor it's awesome thanks for your works
God bless these two gentlemen
Beautifully done with such love and respect. Praise Jesus in the highest!
God bless you Jeff. Thank you for sharing the real Jesus.
Thank you Jeff, Glory to God, for the truth! Jeff you are called by God to do this, I am so impressed by your patience and compassion, you are a true man of God, thank you again!!
Those young men were at the right place at the right time.
Absolutely beautiful!
Beautiful
Wow, Pastor Jeff. God is so much more and will speak to you personally If only you will get to know him through his word. I worry bout those believing with blind faith trusting there minister to do the reading.so much respect for you. Im learning how to make disciples of all nations.
Amazing just amazing!!!
These young men seem honest and like they are seeking the truth. I pray the scriptures illuminate their minds and hearts. Good teaching, Jeff!
One of the things I struggle with when sharing the gospel with mormons is that they seem to agree with what you are saying, and this ofcourse is because we use the same language as Jeff said here. It can be hard to break these moulds. I remember mentioning the trinity and getting a chance to explain it and the young guys basically said, "yup, we believe that too". It's hard. I think the right thing to do is point to Jesus I'm the scriptures and what he has to say unto things.
Well done Jeff.
I absolutely LOVE how Apologia cares so much for the Mormons, you can feel it…they are truly amazing disciples of Christ!🥹 Yes, We ♥️ love our fellow Mormon Family, I hope we all continue to pray for them & continue to share biblical truths & connect with them. They are good people & I believe most of them truly do want to know God’s truth. Let’s not give up on each other. When I was Mormon, God pursued my heart & never gave up on me, he showed me the truth because I was searching for it. Anyone truly searching for Gods truth, I promise you, God WILL show it to you, it may not be easy to accept at first, but trust me, JESUS IS DEFINITELY WORTH IT!😉 Thank you Jesus for this channel & the incredible work these men of God are doing to help bring home the lost. God is so good!💪 🙏🥹♥️
Praise Jesus! God Bless🙏♥️✝️
Mormons can be very good listeners
Yes some can, if they are not brainwashed too badly.
Very gracious young men!! Makes for a great loving conversation!
*.*
Powerful Indeed! Praise God, divine appointment right there!
The Mormons seem that they listen with an open heart, mark 4:9 " He who have ears to hear ,let them hear "
But Jeff says dont listen with your heart,lol
One of the best, most loving conversations I have seen on this channel.
I Love this preacher all his points are exactly why I was able to untwist my mind and heart from the Mormon church. The Bible warns against it and completely contradicts the Mormon teachings.
watching this makes me think of prov 27:6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.great job Jeff
Yes, Romans 3:20-22: “By the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in his sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.
Well done brother. Preaching the Gospel with love confidence and meekness. God bless
Awesome!!! They were listening!! Praise the Lord God Forever!!❤❤❤
wow - beautiful!
Awesome Job Jeff! Keep leading these lost Mormons to the true and living Christ!
I wish I was there
Wow this is awesome! Grace and truth in perfection.
Looked like a ton of conviction came down on those young men Jeff, praise God. You ministry is a blessing in my life and it makes me want to be a better Christian.
Your doing a good job Jeff. How you conduct yourself to Mormon people, without being angry. May you be truly bless
LDS are great people. They have just fallen into a cult.
MeDaryl2112 I would agree with you about the pleasant nature of Mormons. But the cult they have fallen into is a deadly and difficult trap to escape from. Satan is most effective when he’s subtle. Mixing truth with lies and playing to the pride of man through good works.
All religions are cults.
I am a Mormon and this man just doesn’t understand what is true and what isn’t, he has clearly done his research. This doesn’t mean he tells facts, he preaches only by word, when Mormons preach through doctorine and revelation given to us through our prophet. We can pray and feel for ourselves what is true, this man only blabbers facts. And cults are a newly found religion, you simply can become new again without conversion.
cult
noun
a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.
If Mormons are a cult, so is all religion. The term “cult” is commonly misunderstood.
EveryThingYouNeed
This pastor has a deep knowledge of scripture and Mormon doctrine. These kids didn’t dispute his knowledge of Mormon scripture. The great thing is that these kids didn’t get agitated and flea once they had no response as many more “trained” Mormons are triggered to do once confronted.
There is only one Truth and that amazing Truth is my savior and has always been. He didn’t aspire to become God, nor did the Father. We cannot become the Father, the Son or the Holy Spirit. Grace is something available to those who know who Christ Jesus is and are willing to sacrifice themselves for Him. I pray you will. Thank you, Lord.
I enjoy watching these videos as a Jewish person because what Christians think of Mormons (believing in more than one God, adding to scripture, contradicting the word of God, contradicting previous revelations from God, believing in idols, etc) is exactly what we think of Christians.
Absolutely fabulous apologetics! Thanks for posting!
God bless you Jeff.
Oh wow I thought it said powerful conversion and I watched the whole video waiting for a conversion haha
Keep waiting. It'll shine when it shines. You can have a powerful conversation with God after you give up the Ghost.
It was more like a monologue.
All because of the restoration. It proves to us that God has never stopped talking to his children. That's so hopeful. It's real. It's true.
Does anyone have an update on these guys?? Would love to know!
This is so awesome.
WOW! This pastor is very loving and full of light but knows how to shine it properly. It would be a disservice to praise this man so I will praise Christ. God bless!
Great, peaceable, respectful way to share the gospel. Thanks for sharing.
I think Jeff was reaching the kid on the right. He's really hanging on Jeff's words. I pray that he prayed on it and his eyes were opened.
John Patricio, I don’t agree and I most certainly pray that I am right. I think he was flabbergasted at how easy it was for Jeff to lie about the meaning of scriptures etc.
@@TheJlleyba Hi, I hope you are doing well. Are you Mormon by any chance? Which scriptures are you referring to that Jeff is in error about?
