I love your channel! I The way you present Christianity in a no nonsense way really reaches me. I’ve been a Christian since middle school but my faith has grown since my daughter came into this world. I meet with the Morgan and JW missionaries in my town and your content has really helped in trying to bring Gods grace and message to them. The dedication and commitment those missionaries have is amazing if only they could use that same devotion in true Christianity! God Bless and keep up the good work
@trentsheldo1966 Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm delighted that my work has encouraged you in your own evangelism. I totally agree with you- if only they'd redirect their zeal towards the truth, they'd be mighty instruments in the hands of God. Thank you for watching!
Hey Seth. Good to see you came through and made the video. I know the theology is quite dense so I’m kinda surprised you were so well read. The first thing I would like to touch up is one the race theory parts. Although not exclusively Mormon doctrine it might’ve been nice to have mentioned “The Curse of Ham”. This was a common belief among religious American groups at the time used to justify slavery all the way from the time of Noah. Additionally about polygamy, I would’ve mentioned that polygamy is still practiced through eternal marriage. That even if your spouse has died you are still married and encouraged to marry again. At 49:33, in the Book Of Moses, Chapter 4 1:4, it does discuss a similar thing. It’s about Lucifer wanting to take the glory of saving mankind and all its glory would be for him which is why he lost to Jesus because Jesus knew the glory would be Gods glory for it was his plan he sat in place. The goal was never to replace God because He has so much time to grow and become wiser so we never could become Him. I’m not really gonna touch on much else about your video because it fills out quite nicely and I can’t really justify the early days of the Church. Thanks for the video and hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Years. I really appreciated your response to my last comment. -Edit: Also it may be good to tell people in your next video, that there is multiple denominations that formed after Joseph Smith’s martyrdom and that the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint is the branch, which is the largest, formed from Brigham Young and lead to the settlement of Utah, formally known as Deseret to them. Some denominations go back to the trinity and have different temple ordnances. Some of the popular leaders of these denominations include Brigham Young, Oliver Cowdry, and Joseph Smith’s own son. Oliver Cowdry was Joseph Smith writer as he translated plates. Most of these people were considered at the time to be big figures in the community.
Hi @uncleriktovan, I was hoping you'd see this! I'm very glad you took the time to watch the video. You raised a fantastic point about polygamy still happening in Heaven via eternal marriage and multiple sealings, etc. I meant to cover that! Somehow I forgot to mention it during the polygamy slides. But I plan on talking more about polygamy at some point in this series so I'm sure it will come up again. And yes, you're right about the "curse of Ham" teaching being a prominent idea even within mainstream Christianity back then. It did occur to me to mention that, but I felt like I'd already spent too much time on it and didn't want to make it much longer. I will say, the difference is, the leaders of mainstream denominations (like the Southern Baptist Convention for example) don't claim to be Prophets and Apostles in the way Mormonism teaches so it's easier for modern Christians to dispense with those old ideas than it would be for a Mormon. But good call out, nonetheless. The subject of multiple denominations of Mormonism is definitely interesting to me. I may just dive into that at some point too! Thanks again for watching and for your detailed comment. God bless!
Fasten those seat belts and buckle up, this will be another fascinating ride in confronting those that believe that they can be become God, and have their own planet to rule over. (I've just got to finish watching Wes Huff on the JRE first. 👍)
Great video, but I feel sick to my stomach after hearing some of this. I didn't realize just how far off-base Mormonism really was! I appreciate you taking the time to shine a light on this complicated, yet crucial topic. God bless you, brother!
Blessings ❤ Former JW here. I see many similarities with the Jehovah witnesses but definitely the Mormon theology is far more confusing. I found it interesting the believe of the 3 kingdoms of heaven. Compared to JW theology would be: Telestial= Hell where the wicked will end up. Terrestrial= paradise earth where the resurrected faithful witness and resurrected unjust will live after the final test. Celestial= heaven where only the 144 thousand anointed witnesses will live and rule. God, Jesus and the 144 will always live here and will never go down to paradise earth. They will rule over the earth in heaven.

Perfect timing...after several weeks of JW studying today I began a deep dive into Mormonism...excellent. watched most of your JW vids...Great job
@michaelgalietta5623 It must be the Lord's timing! Thanks for checking in and I hope the content continues to be a blessing to you!
Holy smokes! I knew Mormonism was different, but I had no idea it was THAT different. Thank you for the video, Seth!
@sarahstevens3050 It's very different indeed! Thank you for watching!
Almost 1 hour long video! Yey let's Go!
@anthoprsp Haha thanks for checking it out, Anthony! I hope my content continues to be a blessing to you

We're back boys! Happy new years and God bless!
@camjames7327 Amen!
I’ve been waiting for this series for so long!!! Can’t wait to see where it goes
Same!

@GreggBuckley I heard about that JRE episode! I can't wait to watch it myself. Glad to see you here again and I hope you enjoy the Mormon series!
Great video, but I feel sick to my stomach after hearing some of this. I didn't realize just how far off-base Mormonism really was! I appreciate you taking the time to shine a light on this complicated, yet crucial topic. God bless you, brother!
lets goooo!
@howardparkes8787 I was just about to notify you! I know you've been looking forward to this topic so I hope this series is a blessing to you!
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏿
His grace and mercy be upon you and your loved ones 🕊️🥛🍯
Prayers going out for those who subscribe to the LDS doctrine 🕊️

Blessings to you as well!
Holy smokes these guys are even worse than the JW’s😂😂😂😂😂
42:05 They even baptized adolf hitler. It's hilarious.
7:12 "Elohim" is just a polite way to say "God" in Hebrew. Making it into a personal name is equally stupid as prophet mo calling his "god" allah.
The socks they smoke are strong! Some of this sounds a bit like Scientology.
