Epic Talk - What is truth ? by Dieter F. Uchtdorf
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 янв 2013
- The connection between seeking truth and increased understanding of others was one of the messages shared Sunday night by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, second counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, at a worldwide Church Educational System (CES) broadcast.
"As you accept the responsibility to seek after truth with an open mind and a humble heart, you will become more tolerant of others, more open to listen, more prepared to understand, more inclined to build up instead of tearing down, and you will be more willing to go where God wants you to go," President Uchtdorf said.
President Uchtdorf also relayed the fundamental Latter-day Saint beliefs (found in the Articles of Faith) in seeking after anything that is "virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy" whatever the source may be, and that God "will yet reveal many great and important things" to His children.
Additionally, President Uchtdorf said that Latter-day Saints are "not asked to blindly accept everything they hear." Rather, members are "encouraged to think and discover truth" for themselves and "to ponder, to search, to evaluate and thereby to come to a personal knowledge of the truth." #followersofchrist, #NachfolgerChristi , #churchofjesuschrist

I was baptized Mormon many years ago and have been inactive for a long time. As a pilot myself, I'm drawn to Elder U's ability to weave aviation into his talks. He is a powerful speaker and his message always captivates me.
@justsnappy I don't know what's happened to you since you listened to this talk but I hope you have felt that you are loved, that it was your Father in Heaven who was talking to you and that He wants you to fulfill what you have once promised to him.
justsnappy ... God bless you and your family today and always!
You're great. We need your spirit's strength in our ward and stakes. It is about quality not quantity.
Come back! With Love - Steve
You KNOW it’s true, so put your soul on auto pilot for the Lord and land it safely home in heaven!
I found truth by devoted prayer. Before My family and I were baptized, I prayed and ask a whole night, tears in my eyes, for His true church in our lives. The response was immediate. The next day someone came to me and invited my family and me to His true church. I could not believe it, and would have not believed it, had I not prayed in faith for this truth I was looking for. It has been 21 years, I am immovable. I know this is the truth. And no one, nor nothing, can make me doubt of what my family I, positively know. We have been through a lot of trials inside the church. But nothing matters. We know what we know. In the name of Jesuschrist. Amen.
magdalena puga how blessed you are!
I need not to make any investigations Buck Snort. Whoever Joseph Smith was, he WAS, I didn't live when he did, niether did you. I know all I have to know about him, that he was the means to restore the true Gospel of God. I prayed, I asked, received the answer I needed (from God himself), I have been active since then, I am as happy as I ever was. I am thankful for Joseph Smith, his qualities and defects. He was as human as your and I are. Vulnerable as you and I to maker mistakes, to be tempted. Who am I to judge someone whom the Lord trusted as much as to restore His true Gospel. It could have been you, and you wouldn't have to be perfect. Nobody is in the flesh. NOBODY IS. I love the Gospel. I trust Heavenly Father and His decisions. I sustain my leaders, they are not perfect either. But I choose to believe until I know for a surety of the beautiful truths and mercies of my loveable Father.
magdalena puga beautifully said. And don’t bother interacting with Buck. There’s opposition in all things, so we expect that on this stream. 🙏

You are an inspiration. Your words should pierce through the hearts of these faithless nonbelievers. Keep up the faith and may God bless you and your family. Ofa atu.
Amen 🤗
A very wise man and I admire him greatly
Humanity is fortunate to have spiritual giants that speak truth and inspire goodness love and righteousness, truly the foundation of true happiness.
Bonnie Slade if we are fortunate, why these spiritual giants discourage us to Google about our church, to doubt our doubts and not to be a free thinker? If we have the truth brother, it cannot be harmed no matter what. Truth means, all informations should be open to all.
Bonnie Slade grow a brain
Bagnas Bayabas our minds are easyly misled. Thats the reason.
Bagnas Bayabas Not sure if they discourage using Google, but using Google is like buying the lottery XD
Kevin D. Najera cult leaders won't allow their followers to search information using Google because it is by the devil.
i believe that our church THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY'S SAINT leads the way to know the teaching's of JESUS CHRIST..and JESUS CHRIST is my way the truth and the light..
After 23 years 'less active', the truth was restored in my life. I feel my Savior's love. Each of the christian churches I attended had part of the truth but all were wrong.
How do you know they were wrong? There's a mountain of evidence against the LDS Church but you just chose to obviate it to return to something that was familiar for the sake of being comfortable and feeling like you belong? If you stand on the shoulders of fools, you are the tallest one.
@@r.dreiling1064 Because of the Holy Ghost, dumbass.
Jah, so cool you came back. I wish I would.
JAH RASTA so happy for you. True peace lies in the gospel of Jesus Christ 🙏
@@r.dreiling1064 I am a convert to the LDS church. It was neither familiar or comfortable for me to join but I knew the missionaries had told me the truth. Now after many years as a member I can still say the Church of Jesus Christ of LDS is true.
You are wonderful, President Uchtdorf. Thank you for all that you do in the service of our Lord. I hope you understand the love we have for you, and are so glad that you are bringing us the words of God. May He bless you.
I always love your talks in all the conferences done by the church. In time of trials, I resort to reading your talks that always give me hope that all challenges will pass on.
Pacita Gerdan. Thank you President Uchdirf. Your inspirational messages are helping me so much. It always make my testimony get stronger.
Food for thought in this talk for me. Earnestly discover truth sounds like a good goal and while doing a university diploma I can see how many people have different opinions of truth. Instead of spreading the seeds of doubt I will endeavour to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Joy is a wonderful outlook to have in life no matter the sorrows or worries. I Like President Uchtdorf's talks.
happy I stumbled over this talk.
We're grateful to the First Presidency for your continual prayer and directions. Once again thank God bless us
President Uchtdorf's talk is very inspiring. He encourages us to ask better questions and seek higher answers, the essence of the pursuit of truth.
We love you President Dieter
The best speech ever talked. It has a great teaching to be applied at any moment and at any day. ❤
how inspirational and refreshing, I feel the Lord at work with him and even brother uchtdorf probably finds himself unworthy... I feel the Holy Ghost at this very moment, 26 years old, at work. I feel this in my heart and I feel the devil just as much.... I am not weak I am not strong, I am humble and beg for mercy and wisdom for the things I have done. amen.
Eddie Baray if you feel the Lord is at work, then you are not alone brother. All followers of any religion feels exactly the way you do.
I know that our Father in Heaven loves us very much and truth is he is Almighty. He created us in his own image and his Son Jesus Christ die on cross for us and thy Holy Ghost let us know the truth and we must Repent and be baptise and follow Jesus Christ thur thy prophet on earth today in the name of Jesus Christ.
The fact that you feel the devil pulling at you so much means you are not desensitized to his presence. Keep up the good work, and God will bless you.
Marvelous and very applicable to all of us.
Thank you so much! We should watch this and do our best to apply this principle.
Truth is always based on eternal principles, with saving redeeming effects, if we seek and apply truth to our lives.
He is my favorite speaker :) Another great and inspiring talk💕🌹💕
This is a hidden gem.
I absolutely love this !
Thanks so much president uchdorf ..Amen
The Truth: Jesus is With me..I am Okay and can Be in Peace. I Love 💕 Dieter! 😊❤
Thank you for a wonderful message
A very wise man, infinitely talented , a force for good!
praying to have good things happen 🙏🏽
praying more success over my career 🙏🏽
This is an epic talk, I really love it
25:26 "We seek for truth wherever we maight find it"
His Talks aww full of Truth and Wisdom❤️❤️❤️
If you ask of God the truth will be given unto you. Yes. It will and it is given unto you.
Magrrem Caihar the problem is, all members of all religions feel the way you do. They pray the you do, they read sciptures the way you do and ponder the way do.
...and that's a good thing. There is relative truth and there is absolute truth. It takes faith on the part of the believer to discern it no matter what religion is practiced.
Thank you for your thoughtful response.
Magrrem Caihar how do you distinguish absolute truth from relative truth? Feeling good after you pray is subjective. That is why there are so many religions because each member of any religion, considers his faith to be an absolute truth.
Let me give you an example;
My neighbor is Roman Catholic. She uses a Rosary (prayer beads) to ask God what is right.
I do not use a Rosary because I do not believe in the Nicene creed which is one of the prayers said. But there are times I have asked her to say the Rosary for me when I have needed help in my life.
I ask because her faith is so strong I know God will answer her prayers on my behalf. In turn, she has asked me to pray for her in our Temple.
There are good people in all religions and God answers prayers according to what each church teaches.
It's OK to believe that your church teaches absolute truth because God grants us good things according to our faith.
Magrrem Caihar I agree many religious people are good people. But my point here, is that you can't say you know your church is the only true church because of what you feel after you pray. Because all of the members of all religions they also feel good after they pray about their religion. They also feel absolute truth about their religion. Now that's the problem. Im a returned missionary way back 2003. I also read, pray and ponder about my church.
Thank you
Just what I needed.
I want to hear him say "I'll be back".
Ha ha ha! I get it!
He is from Germany and Czechoslovakia, Arnold is from Austria.
Love the council of President Uchtdorf.
Our comment it makes us feel better when you believe in Jesus name Amen
Love this guy!!!!!!!!!
John 7:17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
Moroni 12:6 And now, I, Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these things; I would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith.
Hi stalkers are all Wisdom, love his messages, Wonderful man
He's the best
TRUTH MEANS YOU ARE OPEN TO ALL QUESTIONS. BECAUSE TRUTH CAN NOT BE HARMED.
Bagnas Bayabas truth is unchangable. That is what makes it truth. Yes, everyone should be open to the truth. You are right.
Tracie Wintch that is why, church leaders should not discourage us to Google whenever we ask questions about the church.
Bagnas Bayabas no but people are harmed by lies. There are plenty of those.
Tracie Wintch if we have the truth, it can not be harmed. If I have the truth, I can confront millions of lies in front of me.

Enteresting
A wonderful talk, but what a strange way for it to end, with the room darkening until you can't see him, before he can finish his talk.
To know truth, it's gotta be objective. You can not confirm truth by just relying only on feelings.
The elephant, é tão grande e tão crível de admirar, parece mesmo muito incrível de se ver de perto e a distância, e também é inteligente e forte. Quanto tempo se leva para estudar a verdade e o elefante e acreditar que é real para o Espírito testificar as maravilhas celestiais no coração. O Pai Celestial é maravilhoso!
Oh my gosh has the Church changed, since 2013!
I feel the same way and I'm so saddened. I'm wondering why you think so?
I lovehim when he gives a takl
yes
I grew up in the church and became inactive in my mid teens. Despite that i have always had some belief in the church and have went to church sporadically in the past several years. I became interested in the Truth (with a capital T) in regards to the truth movement and things i have researched and discovered since then. I have always believed in God and Jesus but have not been able to decide if the church is actually the truth or not. There is so much negativity and bias out there and i was looking for some positive information on the church here on RUclips (typing in the LDS church is true etc) only to get bombarded with all kinds of anti LDS videos, ex members and a host of the watered down 'Christian' channels who continually bash the church. I am not going to give up but it is a serious and overwhelming struggle. Good talk btw
tambien revice predente los codigos de compañias he inclusibe la compalia del templo de aqui de honduras, gracias recuerde que estoy muy enfermo algun dia disfrutaremos que Dios bendiga A AMRICA YESTADOS UNIDOS.
AMEN
praying for my rap career to be a success 🙏🏽
Those word just spread a few minutes ago can see how our head also transfer to our children's head too because moses didn't see his promise land but Joshua complete it to the promise land, from head to toe to see why Noah and his family enter a new land on Earth after the storm. Book of Mormon also tell it, don't let your children's married yet, let them carry it for you because they are not yet married in body and flesh yet, they can see your promise land with them.
Excellent talk. May I suggest from the book of mormon the proper way to discern between truth and error. This discovery of the Book of mormon has always blessed my life not to become deceived. The proper way to discover truth is found in Moroni 7:10-19. Read and study these verses carefully. It mentions 3ctimes that we can have a PERFECT KNOWLEDGE. not many times in the scriptures does it say we can achieve perfection. But according to these verses, yes, we can have perfect knowledge of the Book of mormon of the prophet Joseph Smith. I love the Book of mormon.
If you ever question if something is true or false in your life, use Moroni 7: 10-19, and you will not become deceived.
Is there a difference between the travelers with their elephant and us with our reality?
Yes.
The travelers are _completely capable_ of not only investigating the _whole_ elephant, but also capable of _independently verifying_ each other's observations. No known capability exists for those of us who profess the existence of supernatural realms, entities or interactions.
The story gives a strong depiction of his argument, but a story doesn't make a proposition true. The proposition describing the facts of reality to an absolute degree is what makes it true. It is _this_ that must be demonstrated.
Thomas Davis But did they verified with each other? it doesn't say, even though they could've very well done that :/
How do I walk in the path of Jesus Christ? I hear that but don’t think I understand.
On this earth I have to walk my own path.
seek and you shall find, knock and it will be opened. In other words, study and then ask Godd. you will know
Read the Bible starting in John
This was 10 years ago? It sounds like what has recently been taught. 🎉

Here's a thought why not ask the only person in the universe that knows the truth! God himself, Of course that will require you to do something that you obviously don't believe in,
Siosifa Heimuli I've done that, God has told me. More than once. Many times. You cannot deny the Holy Ghost when he gives you answers.
Siosifa Heimuli not knowing and not believing are two different aspects, in order to not believe there is a predisposition to abstain from God, just like in order to believe there is an effort to come to Him. You can believe and not know, but you can also both believe and thus know.
In any case it is safe to believe to check for results and then know for oneself.
Yea I did ask him. I went over to His house and he said it was right.
The time for this man glorifying himself will soon be over...

Some of us think the truth is like a leafless desolate tree, but a tree without leaves is never the full truth. The abomination tree comes about from head knowledge Hebrews 13 diverse and strange doctrine. The heart must be established by grace and only then will truth follow, because what we know in our heart we will find words for in the mind. Once God said to me: Repent and live to 500 years of age and up to 900 is possible. The truth is eternal and so is not limited by the historical period it is expounded in. We should not believe fully in science, for scientists love the world and so the love of the father is not in them 1John. Scientific truth is the truth of minor miracles, such as getting a cancer patient to live a bit longer, or moving things or people from A to B, so let us worship God not science. Scientists are human and make mistakes such as thinking the earth is heavier than the moon and for this reason attracts the moon. However if we could see the vast auras of the earth and moon then we would know the earth is lighter than the moon and the moon is attracted to a position in the earth of similar intelligence ( weight is inversely proportional to intelligence: which means the heavier something is the less intelligence it has and the lighter something is the more intelligence it has). Note however, that the moon and earth do not exude an aura, or somehow bend space around them, the truth is the earth is God's footstool and heaven is his throne, so the throne comes first and the earth comes later; that is, the aura of earth has a solid centre and not the other way around. We must be very careful then to not worship science blindly. In our blind state our truth can be like a tree without leaves because a tree without leaves is close to the truth but not the actual truth, a tree without leaves is desolate: of the abomination spirit. Hebrews 13 says be not carried away by diverse and strange doctrine (desolate trees) for it is a good thing that the heart be established by grace and not by meats that do not profit. Hebrews 5: but strong meat belongs to those who exercise their senses to discern both Good and Evil -- not merely cops and robbers but true good and true evil. There are four senses corresponding to Body, Heart, Mind and Charity or love; taste the pinnacle of touch, smell the pinnacle of feeling, speaking and hearing, and sight. Hence, Paul is saying exercise ALL the senses to discern truth. Proverbs: Trust in God with all thy heart and lean not apon thy own understanding. The error of assuming the earth is heavier than the moon is an example of abomination thinking: a tree without leaves -- and why, along with scientists, do we make this error? Because we trust too much in what our senses reveal to us, not realizing we are a fallen people with fallen senses. The only reason I know the truth about earth and moon is because God has revealed the truth to me.
Jesus
"I am the way, the truth, and the life no man comes unto the father but by me."
Thoes who believe in him shall not perish but ever last life.
Not temples, baptism for the dead, or sacred covenants or ordinances, not the word of wisdom, not by wearing "sacred " garments, or even elternal marriage for at the time of the reserection no one will be married or given in too marriage (mathew 22 verse 30) But faith in Jesus alone.
There is nothing the book of mormon or the lds leaders can do or say to change that.
Ever lasting life
Nobody is trying to change anything, just bring enlightenment to ones hardened heart

The truth is that many people of your faith do not realize you are worshiping a different God and Lord, it might be wise to let them know that you believe that God is a man and also the Lord is a man, these things are not from the bible. John 1:13 "Who were born, not of blood nor the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man but of God". Romans 1:22-23 "Professing to be wise, they became fools. and changed the story to incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man."
These talks are always full of wond
He's doing damage control, he's on the defensive
C Eldredge He is not on the defense. He has nothing to be on the defense about. You sound like you have an ax to grind. Don't confuse your opinion with what this talk is about. I'm sorry if anyone made you feel you need to be angry.
+Tracie Wintch he knows its a sham ,poor guy ,trapped in a false religion ,with no connection to god
+Tracie Wintch no anger. just facts ,there are no nephite swords or arrowheads ,no bones ,no battlegrounds ...especially no DNA evidence .....not a shred ..none ..
hes as spiritual as a sore dick
C Eldredge you know nothing of him nor my religion. You can say it's not true. You can sit and talk as if you know what is happening. You don't. You are just angry. I'm sure you take everything out of context. You don't have any knowledge of him. You also have no understanding of who those people were in the Book of Mormon. Because you don't understand something, does not mean it isn't true.
This is NOT the TRUTH!!!
There is a real heaven and a real hell. And telling people that no matter what they freely choose to do here on earth whether you choose to believe in the Gospel of the bible and be born again in the spirit and follow jesus and surrender your life to him for forgiveness of sin or follow the ways of the world and choose death in Sin. Jesus gives us the free will to choose Life with him (John 3:16-17) or Death, "Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." On the other hand the LDS teach that if you are Perfect you can become a God which is heresy does not ensure people ticket to Heaven but it does make false converts. Joseph Smith taught you can become a god. That is false. By believing in Jesus (of the Bible) you can be adopted into Gods family. (John 1:12; Gal 3:28 )
2 Corinthians 11:2 - For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present [you as] a chaste virgin to Christ.
Galatians 3:28
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave[a] nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Jesus Christ the eternal triune God and Creator of the Universe. See: John 1:1-14, John 10:30; 1 John 5:20; Colossians 1; Hebrews 1,7-8; NOT the LDS jesus who was a created being born from natural relations of god the Father made of flesh who had carnal sexual relations with the Virgin Mary as the LDS Doctrine teaches taught about hell more than heaven in the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark).
Matthew 10:28
28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.[a]
Matthew 25:41
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
Mark 9:43-45
43 And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to hell,[a] to the unquenchable fire.[b] 45 And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell.
Matthew 13:41-43
41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all law-breakers, 42 and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
Jesus Christ of the Bible is the one true God.
John 1:1, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
John 1:14, "And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth."
John 5:18, "For this cause therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God."
John 8:24, "I said therefore to you, that you shall die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you shall die in your sins."
Note: In the Greek, "He" is not there.
John 8:58, "Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.'"
Exodus 3:14, "And God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM'; and He said, Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’"
John 10:30-33, "I and the Father are one." 31 The Jews took up stones again to stone Him. 32 Jesus answered them, "I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?" 33 The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God."
John 20:28, "Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!"
Col. 2:9, "For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form."
Phil. 2:5-8, "Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
Heb. 1:8, "But of the Son He says, "Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of His kingdom."
Quoted from Psalm 45:6, "Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever; a scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Thy kingdom."
God of the Bible is:
Isaiah 44:6, "Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: ‘I am the first and I am the last, and there is no God besides Me."
Rev. 1:17-18, "Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, 18 and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades."
Compare the differences between these two citations. Ephesians 2:8-10 vs. 2 nephi 25:23
The Letter to Ephesians is from the New Testament of the Holy Bible and it was written by the Apostle Paul and it is Dated to 60-62 A.D. It was written to the Church in Ephesus which is located in the Asia Minor and was under control of the Roman Empire at the time the letter was written. This letter to the Ephesians was physically written by Paul when he was imprisoned in Rome. (cite: MacArthur Bible Handbook, John MacArthur, Pg. 399; Published in 2003.)
- Ephesians 2:8-10
8 For it is by Grace you have been saved, through Faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Where as you can read below the Book of Mormon (the story of View of the Hebrews plagiarized) quote that speaks about the LDS definition of Grace, Joseph Smith warping the Biblical definition of Grace. He taught diffrent gospel, basically LDS church members are taught by the LDS Leadership they MUST Work to Earn Salvation. LDS Church Members have to work for the rest of their lives to Earn Salvation.
Check list:
Required 10% tithing (Jesus stated you can not buy your way into Heaven)
LDS Baptism
Temple Endowments
Marriage in the LDS Temple
Law of Consecration
Sealing your Family
Genealogy (baptism of the dead)*
Believe in Joseph Smith (oxymoron)
.... and many more items....
All so that the man can become a god.
But according to the Bible it's a Gift from God that is given you because you have Faith that Jesus is Lord and the Holy Spirit raised Him from the dead on the 3rd day. (Romans 10:9) Jesus was the perfect Sacrifice. (And he is the ONLY priest. Read Hebrews 7-8)
The whole story of the BoM and Smith the story of the Angel Moroni can be summed up by ONE N.T bible verse.
- Galatians 1:8 (KJV)
8 But though we, or an Angel from Heaven, preach any other Gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Smith taught of a different gospel and he created a Polytheistic godhead. When in 1 John 5:20 the Bible which has plenty of verifiable evidence that Jesus is the Only ONE True God!
1 John 5:20 (KJV)
20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
THE SECOND BOOK OF NEPHI
CHAPTER 25
23 For we labor diligently to write, to persuade our children, and also our brethren, to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God; for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do
He (Smith) was a cunning and manipulative man who tricked 35 women to marry him some where teenage girls. Smith then later proclaimed that Salvation is ONLY through Plural Marriage D&C 132:1-7. Jesus never said anything about Polygamy or Polyandry* (Smith was also in to Polyandry) Smiths claims about Polygamy was to cover his tracks because he was a man who was both charismatic and manipulative who was Governed by LUST.
Do you read the bible? Specifically the two greatest Commandments that Jesus gave to his disciples? I will go ahead and post them below incase you do not have quick access to the Bible.
Gospel of Matthew
- Chapter 22:36-40
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a]
38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b]
40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
God condemns Anger as the same as committing Murder in your Heart. Or looking in lust at a man or woman is committing adultery in your Heart. And God does indeed see into the Hearts of Men and Women.
Ref. (1 Samuel 16:7) - > But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
Because the Gospel of Jesus Christ says that we have broken the Holy Laws of God. And the punishment for sin is death. But God is his mercy sent his son Jesus Christ to take the punishment for our Sin on the Cross. and in one swift Act of God's Love and Mercy He defeated Death and Sin forever.
You are literally exemplifying his point about believing one thing and rejecting any which seem to contradict it without considering that your own current understanding is limited and wrong.
Mormons are on the fast track to the eternal lake. These wolves in sheep's clothing like to tickle their ears with satanic beliefs....
Religion is the product of our imagination.

more then doing real experiment that lead you to the truth
what???
What a scam. I once was a devout member. I loved the authorities, especially Dieter. I am German, 100%. I went to Germany on my Mission and I attended the German speaking ward in Salt Lake. What a liar!
D Michel doubt your doubts brother, to be a free thinker is bad. Do not Google cause it has no truth filter.
What a sad thing to see a man become an apostate, it looks like you didn't gain a personal testimony of the Book of Mormon. It behooves you to do it because you're risking your salvation!
Michael Alonzo if it works for you, just stay there. As for me, I just woke up from religious dogma.
The Book of Mormon is no dogma, you probably never asked God to know if it is true right? But whether in this life or the next, you will come to know that it is a gift to humanity; as another witness that Jesus Christ is the redeemer of mankind. Pls Give yourself the opportunity to know because if you don't, you'll wake up to this reality as soon as you depart from this world! I'm sure deep down in your heart you know that it is true but probably, someone in the Church did something to you, or perhaps you read something that challenges the B of M. Read it again as if you never did, and let the spirit testify to your soul that the book is true! Guys like you once they come back to the Church, become like Alma the younger who probably did exactly what you're doing now. The Lord loves you my brother, don't turn your back on him.
Michael Alonzo first of all, I love the members of the church and that includes you brother.
I would like to ask you just two questions... can you describe the feeling after you pray about the book of mormon? Then can you also describe the feeling of a DEVOTED muslim what he felt after he prayed the quran?
My point here is how you feel is exactly the same feeling he felt of his quran.
This Impostor Wouldn't know the truth if it hit him in the face. It's all about the $$$MONEY$$$
chuck s how much do you think he makes?
We love you brother
