Hey saints! This interaction is unlike any we’ve ever had. Prior to Pastor Wade and our deacon Andrew coming up to this man he had been distracting and harassing our team for over 30 minutes. Pastor Wade had to respond with firmness to this man because: 1. He said he receives direct revelation/inspiration from God. 2. He said he was our mediator between God and us, making himself out to be like our Savior Jesus Christ. 3. He said blasphemous lies about the Scriptures and of the Lord. It is important that, when necessary, we identify a false teacher/prophet. We were considering not showing you this interaction but the Bible demonstrates we ought to identify and avoid false prophets. Pray for him. [Mt. 7:15; Acts 20:28-29; Eph. 5:11; 2 Thess. 3:6; 1 Tim. 1:19-20, 5:20; 2 Tim. 1:15, 2:17, 3:5, 4:10; 2 Pet. 2, 2 John 10; see also Deut. 13:1-18, 18:15-22.]
Hey guys, thank you actually so much for this, it was encouraging to stand up to the wolves in sheep's clothing around us that twist the Word of God. If we don't get righteously angry with people that spit on the Word of God like this then we need to check our own hearts.
Thank you for rebuking this false prophet and you showing us the video because it exposes the techniques this guy uses to confuse. One of the primary techniques which is used by liars and deceivers is to talk over those who question them.
Your dogmatism has shown through in this video for more than any other video I’ve ever seen. You were so prideful you couldn’t understand that he was trying to say the positive things that Buddha taught will help those who were taught Buddhism and adhered to its positive fruits will help them have softened hearts to accept the gospel of Christ. Learn from this and beware even those with truth can be prideful. That was so entertaining to hear what he was saying go so far over your heads because your conversations are always follow the same format because it is a manipulative way of sharing the gospel not spiritual.
Wow, well done, brothers! I imagine this is what Joseph Smith sounded like when he was deceiving people with his nonsense. Appreciate all you guys, do, Apologia UT!
37:00 It comes down to exercising authority and dealing with the demon possessing that man instead of trying to reason with it. Baptists, though saved, yet stuck in the elementary doctrines and a mouth full of "Sola Scriptura" and having not progressed towards maturity and authority have no idea how to apply the power they are given by the Holy Spirit. This man was obviously possessed by a principality overseeing the area and "standing between them and the kingdom of God". And they're asking the man "I'm not sure what you're getting at"... 👋 😔 The fire of the coming persecution will change this and the church will learn it's authority to handle these snakes and scorpions.
Wow... that was rough, guys. You can't reason with someone who is unreasonable to the core and a blatant deceiver. Thank you for standing strong for the truth of the gospel and the true God of Scripture. That conversation is the epitome of casting your pearls before swine.
Or perhaps someone with active Schizoaffective disorder. This feels like a disorder instead of demonic. Could be wrong, but I bet if someone knows this cat personally, they'll say there is a history of mental health lockdowns in hospitals.
I would like to see Jeff Durbin talk to this guy. This guy is so confused . Its scary when they use the same terminology as Christians. You guys did a great job.
Not confused. Possessed. 👇😮💨 At 37:00 onward he openly said he's there to "stand between them and the Kingdom of God" and admitted that he doesn't care to damn people to hell. He's an admitted servant of the devil and unfortunately the street ministers could not overcome him and could not tear down this stronghold due to their specific denomination's indoctrination that limits their understanding of the God-breathed Word which hinders their faith as a result. This will change in due time. Come Lord Jesus!
Keep going brothers God bless you and your faithfulness to God’s word and rebuking a false prophet. Thank you for sharing because this is important to discern false prophecy
Romans 16:18 comes to mind. "For such as they serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple."
Thank you for this channel it's very Enlightening as I have Lds coming to my house every Sunday and I want to somehow Crack the dam and show them the light
Man thank you all so much for each of your contributions to this conversation. He's clearly extremely lost but if God can save me he would save him too. Let's all pray for his salvation and that he will find the TRUE Christ!
LDS say you know truth by the spirit testifying of it , JW’s say you know the truth through their organization. However the Bible says His word is truth and His spirit will lead us unto truth which is found in His word

Oh my!!! Wow, he is very important to himself…Yikes 😬 You guys were very patient. Praise God for y’all’s boldness, patience, perseverance, and true gospel sharing 🙏🏻
Thank you all at Apologia Utah for your consistent work and witness for the Lord. In the heart of Mormonism in Utah, standing firm and preaching boldly the Word of God
I have to give it to him: when he said "I'm going to share something with you that you guys have never heard and no man has ever discussed" @1:02 my bar was set very low, but he did not disappoint with the absurd novelty of "Buddha is Job"!
I love the Lord and I love His word. When my time comes to stand in front of Him i will drop to my knees and wash His feet with my tears. To run up and give Him a big hug has never entered my mind. Yes he is LDS. He strives to become a god. Not like God they always say that but be a god. This mans beliefs even go againt Mormon belief. He lied about being LDS you had to force him to say it then he wouldnt stop! I thank you for this video.
The man said he wasn't a prophet, if the pastor doesn't know that we can receive direct Revelation from God who is the Holy Spirit and that we can receive direct inspiration from God then this pastor is spiritually dead!!!
Ok so I’ve had encountered situations like this. I’ve learned that all this does is distract away from other witnesses. You have to just rebuke and walk away. It’s hard but necessary
I only disagree with that because the truth needs to be defended boldly. The Mormons use the term spirit of contention when they realize someone is well versed in the scriptures and therefore not open to their doctrine. We need to never back down because we have the actual truth to stand on.
Demonic possession has not ended, we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against powers and principalities thrones and dominions. The fact he said he's been doing this longer than you've been alive is telling.
This reminds me of John 8:44-45. I can only imagine how our God felt when he was alone talking with the Jewish paharasis (is that spelled right?). Anyway, awesome job standing firm to our father’s word.
Wow, it’s amazing how prideful we are as humans and there are many like this man who believe because they feel they are special can have revelation and be of GOD!!! Wow, in pray for this man that he sees the truth and reads scripture
After this video ends I ended up having more conversations till dark with them. Allowed them to get vulnerable and tell me their life a bit and why they believe what they believe. I explained why we were out there. And it is ultimately to unite Mormons to Christ. The true biblical Christ who is our God creator. I was trying to show them what they believe is categorically different than Christianity and that it’s not about what church is true but about the truth of God’s gospel that he has already revealed. I even tried Pascal’s wager. Which I’m not proud of. That if Mormonism is true, as a Christian I’ll go to “middle kingdom” with ability to keep progressing but if God and the Bible is true then they go to Hell. I was trying to express that the stakes are high and that is why we go to share the gospel to them because if we love someone we don’t want them to be damned. We Christians takes God’s word seriously.
There we see again another LDS preaching ecumenism. That seems to be the current message: we are the only one true church but let’s unite with everyone and everything else. Mormonism is a walking contradiction.
Oh my word! I'm speechless. Seriously. I thank every last one of my brothers in Christ, who stood so strong for as long as you did. Obviously, this man is lost, but it's equally as clear that there was a straight up demon speaking through him. I mean, at what point do we accept that someone has made a conscious choice to rebuke and defile the Word of God? At what point do we shake the dust off our feet and walk away? This was straight up BLASPHEMY!! Which, by the way, is the only unforgivable sin.
I will tell you how much I love those characters. If they had any respect to their own welfare, they would come forth and say, whether Joseph Smith was a Prophet or not, ‘We shed his blood, and now let us atone for it;' and they would be willing to have their heads chopped off, that their blood might run upon the ground, and the smoke of it rise before the Lord as an incense for their sins.”
I will say God is the same yesterday today and forever, God's word says in the last days yours sons and daughters will receive dreams and proficiency. So to say that God can't speak to someone is false. And how we can tell if God's speaks through someone is if what they say comes to pass.
Agency is a biblical concept. It is "essential" to god's laws of mercy and justice. Its the one free gift we are given for his plan. (Satan's plan was the opposite) These guys seemed to get really agitated (and catch him in his words) sorta like the Pharisees, lol? Even Jesus said "Are ye not Gods" (Joint Heirs with Christ). That's biblical! (What would they say about those scriptures). Anyway food for thought :)
@codyapperson4064 Those blessings are reserved for all that believe in Christ ( and not any particular denominational affiliation) Because God is no respecter of persons! (Even you and me) That concept of becoming more like him and living with him is often misunderstood. (We can become more than just angels) Eternity is a long time 😇
@codyapperson4064 in the Bible Jesus told us we can become "joint heirs" with him and the father if we follow his lead believe and obey the commandments
Apologia quote Isaiah to try and prove that men cannot become gods because it says there only is ever one god. They say, with some relish, that such a notion of men becoming gods is blasphemy. The Bible says Deuteronomy 10:17, Joshua 22:22, Psalms 82:6, Psalms 136:2, Daniel 11:36, Matthew 5:48, John 10:34, Romans 8:17, 2 Corinthians 3:18, Ephesians 4:13, 1 John 3:2, Revelation 3:21.
Wow, imagine coming across a false prophet / teacher, and he contradicts himself many times. He doesn't even know the word of God, can't quote scriptures, even asks, "which scripture passage did Joseph Smith Jr use..." unbelievable! And the sad thing is, he could likely fool some people into believing these false doctrines. I am so very glad that I have God's truth, (Bible) and we can go to them to test all spirits, all prophets, and all teachers to see if they are in the word, or not.
The man on the street made alot of good points (1) Yes, we are all the sons / daughters of god (literal) - yet the street preachers said no (2) He quoted James - which the street preachers "conveniently" said it was out of context. I feel like they are used to asking the questions (and this time - it went both ways). Which is why they (street preachers got a little upset). The man asked some really good questions (which I think perplexed them). As per budha - I think he was trying to show them that buddha was a man (like all people) who were born from god. All of us who lived in heaven and where born on earth chose to follow christ. Now here on earth many have good messages that steer people closer (the "golden rule") which is what christ taught on the sermon on the mount. Anyway I have seen them in other conversations as well - but this one went a little different, however was interesting too. I think in the end that this man was just trying to be show some "multi-dimensional" examples of goodness - and think outside the box (as all good things lead back to christ) vs just only using the bible alone. Okay food for thought :)
It's so ironic because the questions you ask that show his logical fallacies are the ones he responds to with another question. As soon as he's caught, he asks YOU for the answer😂😂 "exactly, thats right and why did that happen?" Without ever answering because he wants to wait for your reponse to critique it instead of seeing the truth conquering over his falsehood. ~The Maze of Mormonism
The person made a good point (on how to "discern" between the truth). Most of us go by only the "physical" of things (sight, words, etc). The spirit however is a higher form that confirms things as well. God also speaks to us to our minds to. So those three things testify and teach which are (1) Physical (2) Spiritual (3) Intellectual. So three is an important number also - God (the Father), Jesus (the son) and the Holy ghost make up one "godhead" (or team) but are individuals. However trinitarian calls it one god instead (perhaps these definitions are nuances, or semantics). God teaches us individually in many ways (and not just one). But the question is when we go to the next life - is (as per the nature of god) is God a person we can see, talk with and hug in heaven? (or just an essence?) That is why its important to know the personal "nature" of God. All these concepts are basic and even backed up in the biblical scriptures.
Thank you for standing for the truth of Jesus Christ! ✝️ Satan is deceiving, and I am not one to say that he is deceived by satan because I do not know him or his true beliefs (just what Ive seen here in this video and that does say a lot) but it clearly seems like he is being extremely manipulated by something that doesn’t come from truth. I feel for this young man and I hope that he can get a better understanding of the gospel, and that Jesus Christ can take over his heart and I know that is very possible because it happened to me. I feel like he truly believes what he is saying but he needed people like you to bring the true gospel to his attention and possibly open his eyes to something different! I’m very thankful for you having a discussion with him so that maybe he opens his heart. Being humble and having 100% love for our savior can change us in the most unimaginable ways. We have to wipe out all of our selfishness, turn to the bible, and welcome the true Christ into our hearts to know how it feels to be saved and be a true disciple of Christ❤️✝️🙏
How else would God's Spirit of truth communicate with man? The Feeling of the spirit is not of man and therefore you can not compare with carnel feelings. These street preachers are so closed to what the scriptures actually say.
The apostle "stephen" (in the bible) saw "both" God (The Father) and Jesus (the son) together! The "trinity" concept was created up 100s of years after the death of the apostles.
Apologia correctly say that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever but they clearly misunderstand what that means. The bible also says Romans 8:17.
This longhaired guy does have a point. Apologia should grant his point. Regardless of how someone comes to the Biblical Savior, does it matter how they did it? If helping a Buddhist look at their lifetime of belief as a good stepping stone and that Buddha may be a 'typification' of Christ....then it would be so much easier to convert them to Christ. I like the approach.
Be wise as a serpent and innocent as a dove. You got it right when you said you were casting pearls before swine. This guy was there to try to confuse you. Stay strong and in the Word.
God doesn’t have to use counterfeits (Buddah) of Himself to save anyone! See Acts 4:10-12 10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. 11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Apologia says this man is a false prophet and “rebukes” him for being a false prophet because he says the Holy Ghost has witnessed to him. The bible says 1 Corinthians 12:3, Matthew 16:17, Ephesians 1:17.
I’ve had so many conversations that go almost exactly like this I Believe Gods will was done thank you guys for standing firm on the word of God and proclaiming his truth boldly God bless
This man doesn’t represent the average Latter Day Saint, but they refuse to respect him. You can tell people all day, that they have the wrong Christ. It’s counterproductive.
Interestingly enough, there is a lot of this type of thing going around right now. I encountered someone who I knew decently well, begin telling me a lot of the same things this guy is claiming. In the end, it was drugs...
Buddha taught that desire is the cause of all suffering but no where is that taught in either the Hebrew Bible or the NT but contrary to that desiring good things is commanded and only desiring evil things is condemned
2 Corinthians 11:14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Not every spirit nor feeling is to be teusted. Thus the reason you need objective scripture to override subjective feelings.
How does Apologia test their assumptions??? If there are mistakes in Apologia's doctrinal approach or biblical interpretation, how is this Apologia pastor to determine or see the err of his ways. This pastor is above reproach by relying on a 2000 year old book that has so many flaws and so much violence, it strains credulity that he can be so sure of his position.
Modern day mob (lol) Sometimes they have done a good job, but this time - they were throwing some accusations around that aren't necessary etc. (Almost never see mormons in front of a baptist , evangelical church - giving out anti literature). He made a good point. They said he's a prophet (and then accuse him). Its like they got a taste of their own medicine and then decide to leave (which is sad) as most of these meetings are more peaceful. Heck - though everyone can have a rough day sometimes (as we are all humans).
Mormons cannot picket a "Baptist" church because there is no scriptural justification for their beliefs. They are a cult and the internet age has exposed them.
This man is obviously misguided and midled. However, we are called to love him. The goal should not be to win an argument but to plant a seed of truth and bear witness of the true and living God. There is no way this man walks away from this conversation questioning his false beliefs. If anything, I'm sure this emboldened his false beleifes and misconceptions. Way too much condescending and sarcastic rhetoric. Valid points made, but not out of love, therefore the points are made in vain.

“Pastor” and “Deacon” - you’re Protestant - you might as well toss on “M.D.” as a suffix after you graduate 2nd grade!
This was necessary

What this man needed more than anything was deliverance. I pray he is delivered from the demons speaking out of him.

And they're asking the man "I'm not sure what you're getting at"...
👋 😔
The fire of the coming persecution will change this and the church will learn it's authority to handle these snakes and scorpions.
Wow... that was rough, guys. You can't reason with someone who is unreasonable to the core and a blatant deceiver. Thank you for standing strong for the truth of the gospel and the true God of Scripture. That conversation is the epitome of casting your pearls before swine.
Yes, agreed.
Or perhaps someone with active Schizoaffective disorder. This feels like a disorder instead of demonic. Could be wrong, but I bet if someone knows this cat personally, they'll say there is a history of mental health lockdowns in hospitals.

John 16:13 When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth.. With love in Christ 🥰🙏
The ramblings of a mad man...
Oh my!!! Wow, he is very important to himself…Yikes 😬 You guys were very patient. Praise God for y’all’s boldness, patience, perseverance, and true gospel sharing 🙏🏻
Ephesians 6:12 kept coming into my mind while watching this. Wow. You guys were awesome standing firm and calling him out, praise God ♡♡♡
He’s like an anti-theologian. Feelings over scripture.
no one:
this man: Buddha is job
Fake prophet: says something
Also fake prophet: I never said it
Looks like a gypsy to me. Excellent rebuke and witnesses from Apologia Utah.
Thank you all at Apologia Utah for your consistent work and witness for the Lord. In the heart of Mormonism in Utah, standing firm and preaching boldly the Word of God
“Depart from me for I knew you not”
Love this. Keep going my brothers exposing the false LDS church
I have to give it to him: when he said "I'm going to share something with you that you guys have never heard and no man has ever discussed" @1:02 my bar was set very low, but he did not disappoint with the absurd novelty of "Buddha is Job"!
I love the Lord and I love His word. When my time comes to stand in front of Him i will drop to my knees and wash His feet with my tears. To run up and give Him a big hug has never entered my mind. Yes he is LDS. He strives to become a god. Not like God they always say that but be a god. This mans beliefs even go againt Mormon belief.
He lied about being LDS you had to force him to say it then he wouldnt stop! I thank you for this video.
Have you fed my sheep? ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.’”
Luke 17:10 Amen 🙏
“Buddha is Job.”
He’s right, I’ve never heard that spoken by man before.
The man said he wasn't a prophet, if the pastor doesn't know that we can receive direct Revelation from God who is the Holy Spirit and that we can receive direct inspiration from God then this pastor is spiritually dead!!!
That revelation can’t contradict previous revelation which the long haired heretic in this video did
Ok so I’ve had encountered situations like this. I’ve learned that all this does is distract away from other witnesses. You have to just rebuke and walk away. It’s hard but necessary
We typically do that. Thankfully, we had a team of 12 other guys covering the other corners for tracting/conversations.
I only disagree with that because the truth needs to be defended boldly. The Mormons use the term spirit of contention when they realize someone is well versed in the scriptures and therefore not open to their doctrine. We need to never back down because we have the actual truth to stand on.
This is what happens when one thinks they pray and receive burning in bosom to find truth. His self deception is strong in this one
Guys, your audio... can only hear the guy with his back to us. You need a hand-held mic or something
Nutcase should be locked up before he hurts someone. Keep safe guys
That man is extremely creepy and wrong. I don’t know what his problem is outside of being severely possessed.
Demonic possession has not ended, we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against powers and principalities thrones and dominions. The fact he said he's been doing this longer than you've been alive is telling.
Epic yet so hard to watch.
Interesting I’m glad you guys stood your ground. You meet all kinds of different people when you’re evangelizing❤🥰🎚️⚔️🛡️👑💯
This reminds me of John 8:44-45. I can only imagine how our God felt when he was alone talking with the Jewish paharasis (is that spelled right?). Anyway, awesome job standing firm to our father’s word.
Wow, it’s amazing how prideful we are as humans and there are many like this man who believe because they feel they are special can have revelation and be of GOD!!! Wow, in pray for this man that he sees the truth and reads scripture
Can’t argue with crazy guys. Pray this guy gets out of his delusions.
After this video ends I ended up having more conversations till dark with them. Allowed them to get vulnerable and tell me their life a bit and why they believe what they believe. I explained why we were out there. And it is ultimately to unite Mormons to Christ. The true biblical Christ who is our God creator. I was trying to show them what they believe is categorically different than Christianity and that it’s not about what church is true but about the truth of God’s gospel that he has already revealed. I even tried Pascal’s wager. Which I’m not proud of. That if Mormonism is true, as a Christian I’ll go to “middle kingdom” with ability to keep progressing but if God and the Bible is true then they go to Hell. I was trying to express that the stakes are high and that is why we go to share the gospel to them because if we love someone we don’t want them to be damned. We Christians takes God’s word seriously.
There we see again another LDS preaching ecumenism. That seems to be the current message: we are the only one true church but let’s unite with everyone and everything else. Mormonism is a walking contradiction.
Oh my word! I'm speechless. Seriously. I thank every last one of my brothers in Christ, who stood so strong for as long as you did. Obviously, this man is lost, but it's equally as clear that there was a straight up demon speaking through him. I mean, at what point do we accept that someone has made a conscious choice to rebuke and defile the Word of God? At what point do we shake the dust off our feet and walk away? This was straight up BLASPHEMY!! Which, by the way, is the only unforgivable sin.
Oh he admits he is Mormon. They do attract vulnerable people
There's a great little church right there in Provo. Had a great time when Matt slick and I were there last month to witness to Mormons at conference
How has he calibrated his method of personal revelation to ensure accuracy?
So if there are false prophets…who are the true prophets?
None today
Mormonism is tower of babel all over again.
Is anyone know his name ?
Commenting for algorithm
"Dictionary Jester". 😂😂😂
I once met a mormon very similar to this in speech/new revelation, other than claiming to be a prophet. One false doctrine leads to another it seems.
I don't think he was mentally capable of having a conversation with you. Good try, though.
I will tell you how much I love those characters. If they had any respect to their own welfare, they would come forth and say, whether Joseph Smith was a Prophet or not, ‘We shed his blood, and now let us atone for it;' and they would be willing to have their heads chopped off, that their blood might run upon the ground, and the smoke of it rise before the Lord as an incense for their sins.”
Mr. Prophet: isnt it written in the scriptures to pray to know all things?
Wade: no
That cracked me up.
I will say God is the same yesterday today and forever, God's word says in the last days yours sons and daughters will receive dreams and proficiency. So to say that God can't speak to someone is false. And how we can tell if God's speaks through someone is if what they say comes to pass.
Agency is a biblical concept. It is "essential" to god's laws of mercy and justice. Its the one free gift we are given for his plan. (Satan's plan was the opposite) These guys seemed to get really agitated (and catch him in his words) sorta like the Pharisees, lol? Even Jesus said "Are ye not Gods" (Joint Heirs with Christ). That's biblical! (What would they say about those scriptures). Anyway food for thought :)
Yikes are ye not gods is referencing psalms 82 it’s talking about false gods lmao you Mormons make me laugh
@codyapperson4064 Those blessings are reserved for all that believe in Christ ( and not any particular denominational affiliation) Because God is no respecter of persons! (Even you and me) That concept of becoming more like him and living with him is often misunderstood. (We can become more than just angels) Eternity is a long time 😇
@codyapperson4064 in the Bible Jesus told us we can become "joint heirs" with him and the father if we follow his lead believe and obey the commandments
@ yea that means we inherit everything Christ has that doesn’t mean we become Gods 🤣
@ hush pagan
@37:00 WOW....
Do you think of what you comment people
Wow that was intense! Hard to see so many people be this deceived and far from God’s word. Way to go Apologia!
Apologia quote Isaiah to try and prove that men cannot become gods because it says there only is ever one god. They say, with some relish, that such a notion of men becoming gods is blasphemy. The Bible says Deuteronomy 10:17, Joshua 22:22, Psalms 82:6, Psalms 136:2, Daniel 11:36, Matthew 5:48, John 10:34, Romans 8:17, 2 Corinthians 3:18, Ephesians 4:13, 1 John 3:2, Revelation 3:21.
Wow, imagine coming across a false prophet / teacher, and he contradicts himself many times. He doesn't even know the word of God, can't quote scriptures, even asks, "which scripture passage did Joseph Smith Jr use..." unbelievable! And the sad thing is, he could likely fool some people into believing these false doctrines. I am so very glad that I have God's truth, (Bible) and we can go to them to test all spirits, all prophets, and all teachers to see if they are in the word, or not.
The man on the street made alot of good points (1) Yes, we are all the sons / daughters of god (literal) - yet the street preachers said no (2) He quoted James - which the street preachers "conveniently" said it was out of context. I feel like they are used to asking the questions (and this time - it went both ways). Which is why they (street preachers got a little upset). The man asked some really good questions (which I think perplexed them). As per budha - I think he was trying to show them that buddha was a man (like all people) who were born from god. All of us who lived in heaven and where born on earth chose to follow christ. Now here on earth many have good messages that steer people closer (the "golden rule") which is what christ taught on the sermon on the mount. Anyway I have seen them in other conversations as well - but this one went a little different, however was interesting too. I think in the end that this man was just trying to be show some "multi-dimensional" examples of goodness - and think outside the box (as all good things lead back to christ) vs just only using the bible alone. Okay food for thought :)
It's so ironic because the questions you ask that show his logical fallacies are the ones he responds to with another question. As soon as he's caught, he asks YOU for the answer😂😂 "exactly, thats right and why did that happen?" Without ever answering because he wants to wait for your reponse to critique it instead of seeing the truth conquering over his falsehood.
~The Maze of Mormonism
The person made a good point (on how to "discern" between the truth). Most of us go by only the "physical" of things (sight, words, etc). The spirit however is a higher form that confirms things as well. God also speaks to us to our minds to. So those three things testify and teach which are (1) Physical (2) Spiritual (3) Intellectual. So three is an important number also - God (the Father), Jesus (the son) and the Holy ghost make up one "godhead" (or team) but are individuals. However trinitarian calls it one god instead (perhaps these definitions are nuances, or semantics). God teaches us individually in many ways (and not just one). But the question is when we go to the next life - is (as per the nature of god) is God a person we can see, talk with and hug in heaven? (or just an essence?) That is why its important to know the personal "nature" of God. All these concepts are basic and even backed up in the biblical scriptures.
I don’t believe you, but I believe in a talking snake. 😂
You are made in the image of God, Adam came from Gid, you came from Adam. Simple as that.
You guys sound like people arguing Star Trek v Star Wars 😂
Isaiah 43:10 "Before me there was no God formed, nor shall there be after me."
Well.. that's just your interpretation. HUH???
Thank you for standing for the truth of Jesus Christ! ✝️ Satan is deceiving, and I am not one to say that he is deceived by satan because I do not know him or his true beliefs (just what Ive seen here in this video and that does say a lot) but it clearly seems like he is being extremely manipulated by something that doesn’t come from truth.
I feel for this young man and I hope that he can get a better understanding of the gospel, and that Jesus Christ can take over his heart and I know that is very possible because it happened to me. I feel like he truly believes what he is saying but he needed people like you to bring the true gospel to his attention and possibly open his eyes to something different!
I’m very thankful for you having a discussion with him so that maybe he opens his heart. Being humble and having 100% love for our savior can change us in the most unimaginable ways. We have to wipe out all of our selfishness, turn to the bible, and welcome the true Christ into our hearts to know how it feels to be saved and be a true disciple of Christ❤️✝️🙏
you have a beautiful country honestly
How else would God's Spirit of truth communicate with man? The Feeling of the spirit is not of man and therefore you can not compare with carnel feelings. These street preachers are so closed to what the scriptures actually say.
Yeah the guy they are talking to is crazy but the street preachers aren't any better lmao
He is definitely a false prophet, portraying himself as a minister of light but is not.
The apostle "stephen" (in the bible) saw "both" God (The Father) and Jesus (the son) together! The "trinity" concept was created up 100s of years after the death of the apostles.
Genesis 1:1 let US create man in our image.
Apologia correctly say that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever but they clearly misunderstand what that means. The bible also says Romans 8:17.
This longhaired guy does have a point. Apologia should grant his point. Regardless of how someone comes to the Biblical Savior, does it matter how they did it? If helping a Buddhist look at their lifetime of belief as a good stepping stone and that Buddha may be a 'typification' of Christ....then it would be so much easier to convert them to Christ. I like the approach.
I know this guy from facebook i always had arguments with him as well
Be wise as a serpent and innocent as a dove. You got it right when you said you were casting pearls before swine. This guy was there to try to confuse you. Stay strong and in the Word.
God doesn’t have to use counterfeits (Buddah) of Himself to save anyone!
See Acts 4:10-12
10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
There are times when you debate and discuss…then there’s times to rebuke the messenger of Satan.
Apologia says this man is a false prophet and “rebukes” him for being a false prophet because he says the Holy Ghost has witnessed to him. The bible says 1 Corinthians 12:3, Matthew 16:17, Ephesians 1:17.
I’ve had so many conversations that go almost exactly like this I Believe Gods will was done thank you guys for standing firm on the word of God and proclaiming his truth boldly God bless
Well that happened...
This man doesn’t represent the average Latter Day Saint, but they refuse to respect him.
You can tell people all day, that they have the wrong Christ. It’s counterproductive.
Someone who can't accept a hypothetical analogy is not debating in good faith
Interestingly enough, there is a lot of this type of thing going around right now. I encountered someone who I knew decently well, begin telling me a lot of the same things this guy is claiming. In the end, it was drugs...
Apologia says we are not all sons and daughters of God. The Bible says Psalms 82:6, Acts 17:28,29.
Buddha taught that desire is the cause of all suffering but no where is that taught in either the Hebrew Bible or the NT but contrary to that desiring good things is commanded and only desiring evil things is condemned
At 3 minutes he said "We are not a prophet." And it was very demonic sounding.
2 Corinthians 11:14
And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Not every spirit nor feeling is to be teusted. Thus the reason you need objective scripture to override subjective feelings.
Did he say he models as Jesus?
I felt sick when he said that.
How does Apologia test their assumptions??? If there are mistakes in Apologia's doctrinal approach or biblical interpretation, how is this Apologia pastor to determine or see the err of his ways. This pastor is above reproach by relying on a 2000 year old book that has so many flaws and so much violence, it strains credulity that he can be so sure of his position.
Modern day mob (lol) Sometimes they have done a good job, but this time - they were throwing some accusations around that aren't necessary etc. (Almost never see mormons in front of a baptist , evangelical church - giving out anti literature). He made a good point. They said he's a prophet (and then accuse him). Its like they got a taste of their own medicine and then decide to leave (which is sad) as most of these meetings are more peaceful. Heck - though everyone can have a rough day sometimes (as we are all humans).
Mormons cannot picket a "Baptist" church because there is no scriptural justification for their beliefs. They are a cult and the internet age has exposed them.
Apologia is passing some kind of divine judgment on this guy. Matthew 7:1.
Get behind me satan!
Excellent example of how if you let a mormon talk long enough the koo-koo will flow like water.
why do evangelicals and protestants always look beer dads
This man is obviously misguided and midled. However, we are called to love him. The goal should not be to win an argument but to plant a seed of truth and bear witness of the true and living God. There is no way this man walks away from this conversation questioning his false beliefs. If anything, I'm sure this emboldened his false beleifes and misconceptions. Way too much condescending and sarcastic rhetoric.
Valid points made, but not out of love, therefore the points are made in vain.
