Wondering if Jeff will respond to the RUclips video titled: Jeff Durbin gets destroyed by facts and logic? By the way, has Jeff ever actually debated a known LDS scholar or are all the video of him getting into it with 19 year olds and lay members?
@@SacaPuuntas LDS 'scholars' think that they will become a god one day as well.
@@estherlewis7458 We believe that we (you) are truly sons and daughters of God. And as sons and daughters, our Father wants us to be with Him and Like him. HE wants us to inherit all that He has. There are biblical scriptures that attest to this that I hope you take time to take in. Romans 8:16-17, John 10:33, Matthew 5:48, Revelation 3:21. Godspeed!
@@estherlewis7458 FYI. I got an email saying you replied to my last comment but I don’t see it. Didn’t want you to think I was ignoring you.
@@SacaPuuntas No one is born a child of God. Everyone is born spiritually dead in their sins, children of wrath, children of disobedience and without hope in the world. Ephesians 2
Our sins separate us from an infinitely holy and righteous God. Isaiah 59:2
John 1:12 But as many as receive him to them gave he power to become sons of God.
Latter-day Saints mock Jesus Christ and say he is a created being the brother of Satan. It is blasphemy of the highest order and will not be forgiven. That is why they are not children of God.
John 10:30-33 Jesus Christ claimed to be God. How did you miss that part? 😔
Satans oldest lie: "you can become gods"
By your reckoning Jesus is a liar??? Just like this judgemental preacher you lot think you know everything but don't even know the bible.
Psalms 82
6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
John 10
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
@@Apbt-rv7zw How is he judgmental???
@@Jedi_Are_Scum The preacher asks the Missionary where is it written that we can become gods?
Jesus spoke Himself and said in Psalms 82:6 and John 10:34.
The Preacher not knowing the scriptures, then passes judgement on the Missionary to repent for having a belief that is scriptual and spoken by the Messiah our Lord and Redeemer.
I would have thought seeing the condescending attitude of judgement this preacher has was self evident.
@@jacobschwartz2968 Elohim in the Hebrew is Gods/gods plural.
Elsewhere in the bible there are different terms for Kings, Rulers, Emperor etc.
Elohim is reserved specifically Gods/gods/deity
@@Apbt-rv7zw Psalm 82 does not say you can become a god. It says ye are gods.
If you are a god where do you live so I can come and worship you?
Ez 28 Thus saith the Lord God; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God,
I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas;
yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
You planted the seed. He will be in deep thoughts about this
This dude is a flunk...him and his camera crew walking looking for challenges and degrading other religions instead of sharing the word of God to those in real need...
@kristen.mariex u have no idea what mormons believe and yes I was a mormon but I know the gospel they teach.....13 articles of faith chapter 1; We believe in God, the Eternal Father and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
I wish you all will actually get to know a mormon....just like any other religion there are wolves in sheep clothing....
Amen.
@@MariaSilva-hv5dw it's a church problem, not a people problem. I'd say most mormons are absolutely wonderful people, they just get fed disgusting lies and some people really take those lies to heart
I love how he’s not afraid to tell people to repent
Who? The missionary or the necio? Both called each other to repentance…
You need to repent Jac
for what?
@@usaforever8601 for sins. What you saying he's another Sinless Jesus Christ? Then you must be the same too then.
@@daixer3156 no, everyone sins, but just going up to random people and telling them to repent when they are doing God's work is a bit weird.
Keep in mind guys, this is an 18 yr old. He doesn't know everything, and they aren't really prepared for people specifically looking to degrade them
Well said
Degrade? He's directly confronting the indoctrination.
No degrading. This young man is out to recruit people into a cult. No one should get special protection from that.
I didn’t get a vibe that he was degrading him. I got the vibe he was taking it serious and was impressing that seriousness.
Telling someone the truth in a respectful way is not degrading them.
God saved me from 35 yrs of Mormonism and brought me into the most incredible relationship with Him. I was lost but now am found. I was blind but now I see. Praise God.
Powerful testimony. Thanks for sharing.
Even after all of the chiasms found in the Book of Mormon, you left? I don't think a Joe Schmo could pull that out of his seer hat all by himself.
@@Ether-pb5gb what about all the contradiction that exists just between the B/M and D&C that leaves one wondering which book is the most important that you trust one over the other?
A light bulb can't be ON and OFF at the same time, it must be one or the other. The problem with B/M and D&C has the problem where the lightbulb is on AND off at the same time creating so much confusion.
For example: Who was tempted by Satan in the garden?
The Bible tells us it was EVE that was tempted, which corresponds to 2 Nephi 2:18 “Wherefore, he said unto Eve, yea, even that old serpent, who is the devil, … Partake of the forbidden fruit …”
But according to D&C 29:40, 41 Eve is not mentioned.
We know Adam was NOT deceived because the New Testament gives us this info: 1 Timothy 2:14
It seems this contradiction would make anyone question the validity of the D&C book.
That is awesome!!!!
@Jayvc Trust the Lord Jesus my friend. You will serve a mission even greater than the one your earthly father wanted you to be a part of. “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters-yes, even their own life-such a person cannot be my disciple. And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple."
Luke 14:26-27
It’s not actually that hard to leave a missionary speechless, they are 18 years old
Even still, he refutes the doctrines they were steeped in from the time they were small children.
Exactly, they shouldn't be preaching, they should be studying. A church that sends out 18-year olds to preach in its name and in God's name can not and should not be trusted.
They go through a year of training alone. Mormons have a mass conversion plan. Know your scripture. Jesus knew people would try to distort his father’s message and planned accordingly
@@JuanLagunas0 bro I’m agreeing with you. I said a year minimum
@@JuanLagunas0 Juan, I would just like you to know that the church you love oh so much hides many, many things from you. They teach compassion, but will not open their doors to the homeless during these cold winters? Because you plan to go on a mission, I will give you information that is directly going to affect you. Many missionaries get assaulted, mugged, and attacked during their missions. You would think that with that happening, their parents would be made aware of this happening. Do you know what actually happens? They are directly told to NEVER tell anyone what has actually happened on their mission. Why do all missionaries only send letters that are positive? I'll tell you why, because they are not allowed to send any information about the scary assaults they typically experience. They hide many, many things from you.
One of the prophets once said that god told him humans will never touch the moon. As you know now, humans have indeed touched the moon. So tell me, why was he wrong? Is it that god lied to him? No, of course not. You know god would never lie right? So then, surely the lie was from the prophet. Another prophet said that african americans will never receive the same rights because god does not view them as human. Was this prophet correct? No, as we know, he was not. So why are we believing these prophets who claim they speak from god? To believe god has lied would be silly right? Of course the prophets were the liars. So then.... why is it "prophets" who have been proven by history to have lied about what god has told them, why is it that they are controlling what you are taught in church? How are you meant to know that any of what you have ever been taught in this church is true, when you are being taught this by a human - a human fully capable of lying to you. While your religion may not be fake, while your god may not be fake, there are many, many corrupt liars who exist in your religion who care more for money than they do for people. Did you hear that the church spent billions of dollars on an industrial facility, with tithing money? The reason why they've bought a military industrial facility is unknown, but the bigger quest is - "Why is that money not being spent on members? To help people in need? To do kind things, such as what the bible teachers?" Do not fully believe the people in your church, for they are man, and they are fully capable of lying. The devil disguised himself as a snake to trick Adam, an evil person can disguise themselves as a prophet, a bishop, or a church leader, and they can trick you.
I feel bad for him, he is just doing what’s expected of him. God bless him.
I agree, I hope Jeff comes around some day.
2 John
9Anyone who goes too far and does not remain in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who remains in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.
10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting;
11for the one who gives him a greeting participates in his evil deeds.
Bless these elders❤
Too young for that. His brain is not even fully developed yet 🤣mormon a joke. Gotta blame on their old folks sending out young man
True, it’s grilled into you by your parents and church from when your baptized. I would frequently get asked in high school “where I was hoping to serve my mission” like it was already set in stone despite supposedly being voluntary, though it’s not spoken directly it is made known what they think of people who don’t.
He didn’t walk away speechless at all, he literally had to go he was ready to talk
No he was bumbling excuses the whole time and stumbling.
I love how the Word of God silences lies
You silent fart. lol
ME TOO!

Guy pulling him away..."He's making too much sense, we have to go". 😂
That’s exactly what he said. Good job
@@Awpos Yeah, no he didn't. I did. Clown. 🤡
He's an 18 year old kid. He's not gonna know everything.
Such a well spoken guy. He knows how to talk to people
Who?
It would be nice if he also knew how to listen to people instead of waiting for his next turn to talk.
@@RatmanSays To be frank, wanting the powers of a god shows an eerie level of arrogance and psychopathy. You nor I nor anyone else in their extremely flawed judgement should be given those powers, let alone deserve them. And that king you alluded to, Jesus, along with our Father in heaven and the Holy Spirit, do certainly deserve the praise we give them. God gave us paradise, our salvation when we rejected that paradise, and the ability to communicate with Him while we wait for that paradise to return.
@@RatmanSays But also, you're right. This guy wasn't very kind. He needs to real in the sharp tone.
@@JackChatelle lol it has absolutely nothing to do with psychopathy. Unfortunately, people are taught certain beliefs when they are young and these beliefs can be pretty far out there. With that being said, psychopathy is associated with anti-social behavior, lack of remorse/empathy, boldness, etc.
Funny how he pulled the “the Bible has been translated many times” card lol
He definitely was using a lie for a refuge. But he's not alone on that part
its not a card. it is a truth. translations and additional words added to fill out the pages is a truth man does not wish to understand or take note of. if you can not read greek then you are hoping white men translated correctly.
@@MultiMagnis negative you can translate it anywhere and it will be the same message there are different versions but the SAME MESSAGE
@@aaliyahwright8284 actually it won't. Translations from one language to another always has gaps and short coming. You would know this if you went online and translated from one bible to another. For instance no where in the original text of the king James does it say homosexual or heterosexual. No where. Also the common word or tongue of British english is not used the same as american english. If you ever had a language class you would know this and understand this. Each language can have common words but not the whole sentence will be the same or said the same or have the same context. Nice try though.
@@MultiMagnis of course its different words why do you thinks its called a translation its used to help people who don't understand the texts that's given to them. so they translate it , different langues talk completely different then what IS taught so what you're being taught in your little classes isn't completely accurate either take Shakespeare as an example "thou" means "you" in English it THE SAME MESSAGE IN DIFFERENT WORDING
Also, prove to me that in the (kjv) they don't talk about homosexuality.
Two people arguing over which fictional story should be considered canon.
Eh, missionaries are easy prey. As a seminary teacher I spend four years trying to get these young men to pay attention and get off their phones, and the truth is 95% couldn't care less about learning the gospel until about a month before their missions. That gives them about a month of seminary and three weeks of the MTC - where they only learn the most basic doctrines of the gospel- before they're sent out to be lambasted on youtube. I'd be a lot less fun for Jeff, but I'm also a lot more up for the challenge, so I'll take a swing at it.
First, this is a super deep dive topic. Meaning the only place you can find it is not from the pulpit numerous times but from a funeral more than 150 years ago. We define our official doctrine as anything that is taught collectively and continually by the twelve apostles and first presidency. So our views on theosis wouldn't even be considered official doctrine. Having said that, just because something isn't official church doctrine doesn't make it false. I'm someone who wholeheartedly believes that we can becomes gods and my belief doesn't even come from Joseph Smith. It comes from the New Testament.
Before you say that's impossible then explain C.S. Lewis. Was he not a Christian? He didn't need to read the Book of Mormon or study teachings of Joseph Smith to form his beliefs. What about the entire Eastern Orthodox church? They believe in theosis. Is that because of Joseph Smith? Do they need to repent? Are they not Christians? You see, this isn't a "Mormon" thing. Jeff asked the missionaries something like "do you not believe Jesus when he says ______?" Well, I can throw the same question back at Jeff... in Matthew 5:48 when Jesus commands His followers to be perfect even as their Father which is in heaven, the Greek for perfect does not mean "without sin" (thank goodness or we'd all be in big trouble) It means "complete/fully developed." Does Jeff not believe Christ? Does he not believe that God is all powerful? Or is it that God is all powerful just not all powerful enough to help His children become like Him? Why don't you believe Jesus, Jeff?
How about John 10:34-36 which echoes of Psalm 82:6...Ye are gods...does Jeff not believe Christ there. Christ doesn't correct that statement by the way. He uses it to say listen, if you're gods for receiving his word than why do you call me blasphemous for saying I'm the Son of God?
How about the voice from heaven at Jesus' baptism? How about Jesus talking to the Father on the cross? How about Jesus talking to the Father in Gethsemane? Isn't Jesus a god? isn't God the Father a god? Isn't that two beings? This is where Jeff has to do all sorts of mental gymnastics to make the scriptures work. "Jesus was there but not there...Jesus' will was to not suffer but Jesus' other will was that he does suffer....Jesus forsook Jesus on the cross..." hurts your head just to defend the concept of Jeff's version of monotheism. In other words, Jeff's view of what Christianity should be makes it so Jeff is left defending monotheism rather than the word of God. He has to ignore certain scriptures to make it all make sense. I don't. Here's my response to the scripture Jeff used: Christ is clearly alluding to the Ten Commandments which say that we are to have no other gods BEFORE Him. He could have just said there are no other gods so stop worshipping them. This scripture doesn't say there are no other gods, it's saying they're worshipping other gods before God and are breaking the commandment.
I appreciate Jeff's heart, but if you want to have an actual discussion to see if there is any merit to another faith's beliefs, how about arranging an actual conversation with someone who has actually studied the topic at least as much as you rather than catching some 18 year old kid off guard at night with a question you know he hasn't prepared for? Is it really about helping Latter-day Saints or is it about getting the most likes and subscribes? If it's the latter, good on you. But if you sat down with me, I'd have three times as many scriptures from the Bible that'd make you feel this uncomfortable as you tried to explain them.
Hahahah thanks for that! Was a fun read!
Couldn’t have said it any better. I’d love to see you be in one of his videos, or even better the prophet!
Jeff approaches every conversation understanding how important the moment is and what is at stake.
Facts that’s why we have to be humble and meek.
Eternal life , that is
What is at stake is his soul, for he just passed up the only path to eternal salvation.
Much of what Jeff Says is easily rebutted. People lose sight that Jeff seems to only have these debates with untrained lay members of the Church. It would be nice to see him actually debate a known LDS scholar. There is a good rebuttal on RUclips titled Jeff Durbin get destroyed by facts and logic if you are truly interested in the truth of what we believe. I’m not a big fan of the title but the content is very good. There are three videos, I recommend them all.
@@SacaPuuntas They have debated Mormons on their show that know their stuff. When it all comes down to it Mormons just like Muslims, Catholics, JW's, and Jews all take salvation in their own hand. We followers of Christ lay our trust at the cross and understand that only God can save us, and if even .000000001% of our salvation required us we would burn with the rest. You trust your works yet cannot keep from sin, therefore it isn't enough. God Bless.
“Why can he (God) be something that we can’t become” - that’s exactly what got Lucifer condemned.
Idk if that’s correct but ok
@@cobyswitzer6846 read the Bible. It’s 💯 correct. It’s why Adam and Eve weren’t allowed to eat from the tree of knowledge. No one is capable of understanding as Our Father does. He is the creator and author of it all. Until you create the heavens and earth and every creature in it - you have massive arrogance to think you’re worthy of that kind of knowledge or power. It’s the worst kind of blasphemy out there & exactly what makes Lucifer evil to the core.
@@firesondiego7666 ever hear of the tree of knowledge and it being forbidden? Are you that arrogant that you think you could handle the knowledge Our Father has? We are not “gods”, there is one God.
@@firesondiego7666 where is that in scripture exactly? 😂 And yes, Eve took the fruit AGAINST Gods will.
@@firesondiego7666 you’re very correct we al can make our own choices. And yes, I could refute whatever Scripture you want to twist. May God show us both truth and give us the ability to call out falsehoods. 🙏🏼
He is just a 18 years old boy. He doesn't know a lot it's logical.. Thank you Jeff for the divine work!
That poor boy is probably 18 or 19 years old and trying to spread the gospel, taking years out of his life (unpaid) to do so. It’s people like you who really de motivate people. God bless the missionary. Regardless of what denomination anyone is, the common feature is that you are all followers of Jesus. That’s all that matters.
So instead of confronting and starting war amongst Christians, try to stay connected
Mormonism is not Christianity.
@@mgd2000rb You foolish man. They're probably more faithful than you 🤣
@dhruvsaini781 I strongly encourage you to do some research into what Mormons believe. Mormons are Christians is an equivalent to saying Sonic is like Temple Run
I was born and raised a Mormon. I did love attending church but knew something was missing. I could feel it. I found Jesus on my knees at the floor of the Cow Palace in San Francisco, CA. I found what had been searching for nearly 19 yrs. I left the Mormon church. I found truth and Jesus and wasn't going to throw it all away.
Go back sister, you have not been there yet. You faith were tested and like many others like me had fallen away. Thru the mercy and grace of God I found my way back thru repentance. To be honest the church of Jesus Christ of Lattet Day Saints is true and Gods kingdom on earth. It us who failed, not the Lord or the Church.
@@tuerisenikuraciri9912 God said not to add to His word and the Book of Mormon does that. I know what I found and I'm not going back. The only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ. Jesus is returning for His church, not Joseph Smith. I do not and will not put my faith in man.
@@melissamiddleton2135 thank you for speaking the truth

@@melissamiddleton2135 wow, powerful words from someone once trapped by the lies of men. Thanks for sharing this and shedding much needed light.
the idea that a person can become a god, is an idea that comes *directly* from the devil.
Straight up 'Bino! Genesis 3:5 - "For GOD doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil". After 1st lying 2 Eve that they won't die, The Serpent tells them this. I find it so hard that Mormons, in their so-called diligent study of "the scriptures" cannot see the blatant, dissonant contradictions & question their beliefs. It breaks my heart.
Yes! You're right
@@seadawgg65 In the garden, lucifer told a half-truth. One thing he said was true, and another was a lie.
In Genesis 2:17, God commands Adam to not partake of the fruit, because "he shall surely die"
Genesis 3:4 is lucifer speaking to Eve, saying "You won't surely die" (here's the lie)
Genesis 3:5 is lucifer continuing, saying "your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." (here's the truth; pay close attention to the word "as")
Genesis 3:22 is God speaking, saying "man is become as one of us, to know good and evil.." (God confirms the truth. Man did become "as" one of them, i.e. the gods).
It's important to note that adam and eve didn't "become Gods". That's not what the scripture says. They become "as" gods, or, put another way, the ability to determine between good and evil is a god-like attribute. Perhaps the process of becoming god-like started the day that Adam fell. Perhaps this is important to not only ponder if you are saved by grace, but if you are changed by grace as well.
@@dill-pickles1 - Genesis 3:22 KJV - And the LORD God said, "Behold, the man is become "as" one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree." - Yes, but, the LORD God said" "AS" one of us. It is not written "IS" one of us i.e. "gods". There is a difference, even The Serpent says "as" gods.
@@dill-pickles1 Spot on.
“And the serpent said unto the woman, ye shall not surely die: for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.”

I genuinely feel bad for the guy. He seems like a nice guy and he is just being lied to and manipulated by his church. I hope he can find God one day.
And I hope rational thinking can find you one day.

They both are being lied to by their church. Jeff believes in calvinism, which teaches that only some are chosen for heaven, and that everything is determined by God including sin. Both men are wrong.
@@livingforjesus8551 Gotta luv the certainty and mutual cancellation by the believers on these topics. The day all of you Christians finally reconcile and figure out what the truth is, please let me know. I won't hold my breath. If only we had a God that intervened and revealed himself and told us what he expects of us, these disputes might be settled. It's almost as if "he" is not there at all...
God saved me from Mormonism after I prayed to Him. I asked for "The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob" to hear me. I called upon "The God of the Bible" in a sincere prayer. A few days later I came across Jeff Durbin on RUclips, and that started a quest within me to search the scriptures as the Bereans did.
I learned that my heart is "deceitful above all things", and God's true word began to debunk all the falseness of Mormonism. Thank God, and thank you Jeff! I no longer fear the false prophet Joseph Smith's erroneous teachings.
You just went from one bad book to another man
@@victorr6391 it's win win. If I believe in God as I do, the outcome for me will be good. If He doesn't exist, I'll be in an eternal slumber. If I don't believe and He's real...that's not a risk I'm willing to take. That's what I call a safe bet.
@@maverickhunterx8533 i dont see how thats a win win. What if you believe in the wrong God? What makes you so sure yours is the right one?

I have come to the realization that I'm doing the best I can with what I'm given. Since I was a young child, something about Jesus drew me to Him. Based on that, and reading the Bible, I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to be a Christian. I'm not worried about any other "god" at this point (If I'm wrong, I'll deal with that person then).
I can live with my decisions...if future generations of mine believe or not, I can't speak for them. That's on them, but I'm trying to set them up for a shot at being correct.

We may not agree in a belief of god, i used to be catholic but left after being questioned by a nonbeliever and not having the answers then reading the bible myself and seeing all the horrible things in it and its contradictions and just the overall pain religion has caused, but you are true to yourself and thats what matters
Dude you did that so well, so calm & knowledgeable. I agree w/the comment about you planting a seed cuz someone’s kind words to me once led me to think, research & leave the Mormon church over 40 years ago. 🙏
So it IS possible!!! This gives me great hope as I’m loving on a couple LDS Elders. As long as they’re drawing breath, there’s hope.
You could have done it a lot but he could have said in other parts inside just Isaiah 43 which should be to the backlash and Reserve you should have quoted Ezekiel you should have quit Jose I should have quoted Corinthians you should have quit ask you should have quoted Thessalonians you should have quoted Revelations he should have called the Quran just to make a point that man is nothing upon nothing like a god in the least at least the least.
Father Jehpvah is an absolutely different thing and person and character and power than we mankind are.
you know that’s just a teenager they spent 1 month training and sent him out, he dosent know everything he’s just somewhat of a starting guide and you can find the answers to those questions yourself through the book of morman, the amount of hate is unreal, idk why religions can’t just leave other religions alone, whoever that guy is, he is just trying to make money off of all of you. everyone who commented hate are all stupid.

@@ToxicFangX1the only way to study the works of god is to go back to the old manuscripts and seek the evidence out, the root is the manuscripts. From that we learn that we are to follow the teachings as it is written in those original manuscripts and not follow anything that is outside the teachings of those very manuscripts, and this is why I love the catholic doctrine and not the Orthodoxy Mary veneration Jesus relagating sect.
@@Shsishsgsk So there can be no more words to add to our knowledge about the gospel or anything direct from God himself that is valuable of scripture? If God is our Father, he clearly won't stop speaking to us through more scriptures. If John 21:25 states that Jesus did more than just that written in the scriptures, who is to say that someone didn't write more than what we have in the translations today that were lost or were brought back up and we're treating them like false scripture?

These young missionaries have more courage sharing their beliefs in the face of manipulative adults than the grumpy men harassing them…
Lol they learn under a cult. He’s not being manipulative. He’s teaching them that they have been falsely taught their whole life. The Mormons supposedly believe in both their book and the Old/New Testament but their book contradicts the words of God himself.
@@memesouls8653 I know I'm not one to argue or bash, but genuinely, what is the right way? How do we achieve salvation? Why can I be baptized into different churches and be taught different things about salvation. Does that mean they are all different and only 1 can be right? If so, which is it that can baptize with the correct authority like Jesus Christ and John the Baptist baptized?
@@ToxicFangX1 Well Baptism is more of a side issue within the Christian world. Some believe you need it, others don’t. Jesus said in the Bible that Salvation is achieved through him and him alone. I tend to stick to what the Old and New Testament teaches and don’t get sidetracked on what other expect me to believe because they say so. Just trust your relationship with God and he will answer your prayers.
@@memesouls8653 Gotcha, but what about this scripture?
Acts 2:38 (KJV): "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."
Shouldn't we be baptized like everyone else? Even Jesus Christ was baptized.
@@ToxicFangX1 baptism IS essential. Jesus said a man MUST be baptized to enter the kingdom of God. And by the proper authority.

The King Follett Sermon, one of the classics of Church literature, was given by the Prophet Joseph Smith at the April 7, 1844, conference of the Church in Nauvoo, Illinois. Some twenty thousand Saints were assembled. The account of the talk noted that it was the funeral sermon for Elder King Follett, a close friend of the Prophet’s who had been killed in an accident on March 9.
[...] I will go back to the beginning before the world was, to show what kind of a being God is. What sort of a being was God in the beginning? Open your ears and hear, all ye ends of the earth, for I am going to prove it to you by the Bible, and to tell you the designs of God in relation to the human race, and why He interferes with the affairs of man.
*God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens! That is the great secret.* If the veil were rent today, and the great God who holds this world in its orbit, and who upholds all worlds and all things by His power, was to make himself visible-I say, if you were to see him today, you would see him like a man in form-like yourselves in all the person, image, and very form as a man; for Adam was created in the very fashion, image and likeness of God, and received instruction from, and walked, talked and conversed with Him, as one man talks and communes with another.
[...]
Here, then, is eternal life-to know the only wise and true God; and *you have got to learn how to be gods yourselves,* and to be kings and priests to God, *the same as all gods have done before you,* namely, by going from one small degree to another, and from a small capacity to a great one; from grace to grace, from exaltation to exaltation, until you attain to the resurrection of the dead, and are able to dwell in everlasting burnings, and to sit in glory, as do those who sit enthroned in everlasting power. And I want you to know that God, in the last days, while certain individuals are proclaiming His name, is not trifling with you or me.
[...]
When you climb up a ladder, you must begin at the bottom, and ascend step by step, until you arrive at the top; and so it is with the principles of the gospel-you must begin with the first, and go on until you learn all the principles of exaltation. But it will be a great while after you have passed through the veil before you will have learned them. It is not all to be comprehended in this world; it will be a great work to learn our salvation and exaltation even beyond the grave. I suppose I am not allowed to go into an investigation of anything that is not contained in the Bible. If I do, I think there are so many over-wise men here that they would cry “treason” and put me to death. So I will go to the old Bible and turn commentator today.
[...]
*In the beginning, the head of the Gods called a council of the Gods; and they came together and concocted [prepared] a plan to create the world and people it.* When we begin to learn this way, we begin to learn the only true God, and what kind of a being we have got to worship. Having a knowledge of God, we begin to know how to approach Him, and how to ask so as to receive an answer.
When we understand the character of God, and know how to come to Him, he begins to unfold the heavens to us, and to tell us all about it. When we are ready to come to him, he is ready to come to us.
Now, I ask all who hear me, why the learned men who are preaching salvation, say that God created the heavens and the earth out of nothing? The reason is, that they are unlearned in the things of God, and have not the gift of the Holy Ghost; they account it blasphemy in any one to contradict their idea. If you tell them that God made the world out of something, they will call you a fool. /But I am learned, and know more than all the world put together./ The Holy Ghost does, anyhow, and he is within me, and comprehends more than all the world; and I will associate myself with him.
No it is written they beacome there own god on there own planet
+Michael Naughtin thats ridiculous
Satan convinced Adam and Eve that they would become like gods. God bless
Adam Smith was not a freaking great prophet. Jesus left towns with distinction because he spoke truth people needed to hear, rather they wanted it or not. Smith was just a dick people thought would never be taken seriously ever because he was obviously selling his book. He was the worst least profitable door to door sales person on earth. But a prophet? Come on
I hope he does explore that inconsistency in his religion and he can come to find the truth through it someday. Great clip.
It's not even the only inconsistency. The only thing consistent about the LDS church is the inconsistency.
All religions have huge inconsistencies
@@sdrrshock5594 religion was created by man. Jesus nor the Bible teach us to believe in religion. Both the Bible and Jesus told us to have faith in God and trust in Him alone. Man, religious leaders and organizations, are not the way. They should only provide structure and guidance, but their own pride turns them into false teachers.
Let's pray every Christian denomination do.
Interesting how the young man is called away by the others when Jesus and the Bible is being explained to him. Very, very telling.
That you are all insane?
It’s safe to say that most people have a built-in Compass that’s why they feel bad when they do things that are wrong. The word of God is easy to recognize because it’s pure having said that the church and religion. It’s very easy very easy to abuse power using the Bible. Just because there’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing, doesn’t mean the church is corrupt. It just means the followers need to keep their eyes ears open and keep their brain working.

ZOAR Zoar well said
When I was in college (in the dinosaur days), there was a "fire and brimstone" preacher who would stand there and yell at people about how they were going to hell.
One day, a student walked up and said, "Do you know the Bible well?"
"I know it better than anything!"
The student said, " Then, can you quote 2 Timothy 2:24-25?"
The preacher admitted he didn't have all of it memorized and pulled out his Bible and began to read it aloud:
"And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness..."
The preacher realized he was being hypocritical by yelling at everyone else for not knowing the Bible. He actually apologized and thanked the student. It was amazing to see. 😊
Which shows he was a true servant but misguided. Always love when people can humble themselves and accept they're wrong.
@@MarvelGamer2023 I love that also. It is rare
@@vhagerty If you know your Bible, John the Baptist was known as a "wild man," for he often spoke loudly and boldly before the people to repent. Nice try.

@@Tecom38415 A relationship with God's Holy Spirit in you is beautiful. Following a man or a book is wrong. We get to follow GOD the Most High directly.
@@JohnCephas are you saying we shouldn’t follow the Bible?
@@kareemmitchell7357 if you do you'll just be sitting there. Books don't move on their own. Holy Spirit does.
@@JohnCephas I think I see what you’re saying, but I rather not assume. I believe you’re saying that you can’t simply just read the Bible, although we’re instructed to by God himself, the prophets, and apostles. If that is what you’re saying, I agree, but the Bible is a gift of God to us, without it we wouldn’t know God as deeply as some of us do. Without the Bible, we wouldn’t even know who the Holy Spirit is, so it’s definitely very much needed still. But again, I agree mostly with what you’re saying.
Everything I've seen of Jeff Durbin has been completely spot on. I'm glad I found this channel and hope to minister in similar ways. Thank you for the inspiration.
I don't just now remember what his church is but I remember he believes that God choices some people who are saved. So it isn't our choice - it's God's choice. This has no doctrinal support if I'm right. Like he believes that whatever we do in our life, God has decided to safe someone before we were born. Not matter what we do in life.
@@MultiJejje Thank you for saying this. I commented this before I watched more videos of Jeff, and I found I disagree as well with this topic and how he approaches SOME people. He believes in predestination which says that God pre-orders who goes to hell and who gets eternal life; however, Jeff doesn't mention 2 Peter 3:9 which reads
The Lord does not delay and is not tardy or slow about what He promises, according to some people's conception of slowness, but He is long-suffering (extraordinarily patient) toward you, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should turn to repentance.
2 Peter 3:9 AMPC
It would be a contradiction of God's character, who is love, and a loving God doesn't send people to hell without a chance to repent. The opposite of predestination is free will, which says that God has given every man the choice to serve Him or not. Throughout a person's lifetime, God regularly gives a person the chance to come to Him and be free of their sin. God doesn't send anyone to hell who hasn't had their chance because, again, it is a start contraction of Who God is and what the Bible says about him.
Another thing about Jeff is while I love that he is informed about beliefs of his target group (non-believers of Christ, or of the Bible that we have today), it seems he tries arguing people into believing and it doesn't, most times, work that way. Love should abound above all, not a good argument. Sometimes, there is a place to argue, but then another to just listen. Jeff, as much as I appreciate him, seems to argue with people instead of loving on them and winning them that way. How you say something can make all the difference instead of one shoving truth down people's throats. It is the goodness of God that wins people. No one wants to serve a God who you hear hell about all the time.
Why would he (God) be something we can't become... Oh the pride of man kind, I thank the Lord I no longer long to be like the most high and I understand that the highest honor I can have is to be at His feet in worship. God bless my brothers and sisters in Christ.
If there is a god he should be at my feet as I am much more worthy than the god of the bible and so are you.
I would not condone genocide, kill children, kill animals, support slavery etc. I would not allow a rapist to rape a child and stand by watching without doing so. If I did that you would think I was a freaking monster, yet god apparently does it every day.
Be proud of yourself, you are likely a good and worthy person as our most and don't worship the god of the bible who isn't worthy to lick your feet.
Jason Smith um no cause god said no idols youd become his and thats a sin
*I would not allow a rapist to rape a child and stand by watching without doing so*
And yet, that's what we, as a society, do. WE allow these things to happen. Why should God swoop down and clean up OUR messes?
For example; these young men who are allowed to get away with raping young women, just because they are good in sports, or rich and priviledged.
We, as a society, allow this to happen all the time.
Don't put words in my mouth, ok?
Society has been walking away from it. And those who have money and power will always get away with it.
"So you disagree with GOD when He says ,my word will not pass away ? " GOOD ! POINT !
? What Christian disagrees with that?
That’s very arrogant in it self to tell someone to repent because they believe in Christ. I’m a member of the church and I would never tell another person that he needed to repent because of his faith
When you worship an exalted man from another planet, you are an idolater. You are breaking the first and second commandments
When you deny Christ and say he is a created being the brother of Satan, you are a blasphemer. You are breaking the third commandment.
When you believe the first lie of Satan ' "Ye shall be as gods," you are a liar.
God commands all men everywhere to repent.
Come on as RM and as ex Mormon i know the church also trained the missionaries to tell people to repent, to rebabtized at the church even the people whose come to the lds they are already has their baptism, the lds church itself trained the missionaries to invite ask the people to repent, meanwhile no one see jesus, even the prophets today they are never seen Jesus or God, does the Mormons are the arrogance too??
A grown man and a pastor with years of experience blindsiding a 19-year-old kid. Yeah, that's a fair fight lol.

Hebrews4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

PLEASE BRING THESE BACK!! 🙏
Thank you for this video. I grew up in a ‘strict’ Mormon family. (My uncle still holds the priesthood here in UT). ‘Strict’ meaning they drank caffeine and didn’t follow the sacrament. They excommunicate everyone in the family that disagrees with them. I grew up singing “families can be together forever…”; they were very hypocritical. And it totally ruined religion for me. (The Book of Mormon was crazy enough too; I was forced to take seminary and young women’s).
My mom and I were excommunicated from the family; look up David Ragsdale UT shooting. That was my other uncle and it split our family apart. I lost sense of myself and religion. It wasn’t until 2020; when my mother died that my relationship has grown. I’m a Christian now and this channel has helped me grow . So again, thank you ❤
why were you excommunicated?
@@masondavies905 We were never excommunicated from the church. However, we were excommunicated from the family. Because...
My uncle shot and killed his wife in an LDS parking lot. Him and his wife had two young boys at the time. There was a huge custody battle between my family and the wife's family. My mother knew my family was too mentally ill to take care of them and how she put it: "We already took away their daughter, now we're going to take away the boys?". She went to the wife's family lawyer and basically told them we were incapable of raising them, etc. Well, my family didn't like how she went 'behind their backs'. So long story short, they haven't communicated with us really since 2009.
I'm thankful however. After my mom passed I talked to the mother of the wife (she has custody). She thanked me for what my mother had done, and told me to stay away from my family. She is the sweetest Christian woman I have met, and I'm thankful the boys have her.
🙏
I hope to encourage you. Jesus doesn’t care about religion. He cares about our faith in Him alone and wants us to seek a relationship with Him. ❤
I left the church and tonight was baptised to become a real Christian!!! N have a proper relationship with my saviour and my Heavenly Father ❤. Still love some of the members, still really good friends ❤️, but I just don't believe in there gospel anymore!!! Sorry
@@laurenworlton7941 Somehow you tied the Mormon Church being bad and excommunication, to your uncle murdering people in a parking lot! Man what kind of stretch is that?
I would encourage this pastor to share and argue a Latter Day Saint who is as educated in their own religion as he is in his. These elders have been taught simple doctrines of their religion in efforts to share them with others, but they are not educated in the way this pastor is. Please “pick on someone your own size”. I’d love to see that video. God bless.
He has several times and they don't even have it either even though they're smarter they're not well-founded either just here is using information that always refutes apologists of thiz cult. The so called "educated" mormons are just as stupid and ignorant and WILLFULLY DISHOESNT AND FORCEFULLY DECEITFULLY with all their sidestepping and deflecting and gaslighting they do. It exposes their brainwashing and desperation. So there's no point go to the active people like the "mission" kids and stop all them and slowly or quickly tear the moron kulllttt apart. Pardon I mean this satanic moron kulllttt apart.
There you go ma'am.
Then those missionaries should not be out recruiting for a cult.
The missionaries look for people who don't know scripture. The sheep far from the sheperd are not protected and are easy pray.

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.”
Yeah 18 and 19 year olds, old enough to learn to be able to handle debates and disagreements that won't align with their beliefs. If they don't want their cute fantasy bubbles being threatened then they should've just stayed home
Tough! I'm 16 and am learning how to defend my faith. If they want to have it easy and not be questioned especially when there's literally zero history to back mormonism up, then they shouldn't try to convert people to their religion!
My wife is a Jehova's Witness (I know, I know) and she walks away just like that on the rare occasion she feels like bringing it my way. I am confident in the Lord that she will see the Light one day.
The Lord says not to be unequally yoked?
@marrisakate1622 He does. He also says to proclaim his holy name to all. I have faith that she will soon see the light. I was an unbeliever at one time, and the woman I was with at that point in my life got me to Jesus. I should try and do no less.
They say that the Bible had been translated many times.

BelleAfricaine faith is believing in things you cannot prove!
Latter-day Saints aren't brought up to argue with each other and poke at the supposed falsehoods of others. As missionaries we preach faith in Christ and repentance. Speaking if defending, you don't plan on telling me that there is a single Christian or pastor on Earth that can honestly defend the Trinity? I mean, Jesus praying to himself, really? Jesus saying on the cross "Jesus why has this thou Jesus forsaken me?" Or Jesus telling himself during his baptism " This is me, Jesus, and I am well pleased in myself"??? What kind of made up BS is the Trinity? Joseph Smith had it right. The father and the Son are two separate persons
Mormonism is super pathetic like walking a drunk retarded Seal trying to sing
Thank you for this video.
I have met many members of many denominations, and the young Mormons I met were seeking for truth to become more in and of them For they were not violent, nor forceful, nor perverse, nor sinners in their manner of presentation, just manuscripted led by a false savior. So in parting, “finding of truth inside and out in acts,” was our goodbye
I was in Durango County jail when God told me the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is His Church. That was 20 years ago. I was in and out of institutions for 10 years, lost forever it felt like. I was asked to pray about the Church and the Book of Mormon while awaiting a prison sentence. God rescued me that night, and now I share my testimony freely and I live a completely different life. Jesus Christ is coming again let's all get along and glorify His name and be ready to receive Him when He comes.
Glad to hear you’ve been released from prison. That’s truly great. Do you have a response to Jeff’s question about Isaiah 43:10 in the video?
@@realitywins6457 reading it over. Could it be that Jesus Christ is applying this to himself as the Son of God? That God has had no Son before, nor any Son after? That the distinct role of Savior belongs alone to Jesus Christ? In the context of our world and our salvation as His children? I mean if you keep reading it doesn’t get into big picture rather it talks about the small details of their day, of Babylon. Are there not many gods and idols to worship at this time? So Jesus Christ reiterated His position as the only Son of God now or ever? Was he applying this to the whole universe and galaxy or to us?? If we apply it to the whole galaxy are we not adding scriptures to the prophecy? Honestly curious. Because in this scripture it is all historically speaking of the Israelites falling away from the one true Son of God. This is important because they were seeking a Savior? A messianic religious ruler? To this day actually. But Jesus defines himself as that Savior. The one and only. To take this scripture and then interpret it for your own points. To say. See Jesus said there has been no Gods before me, or will there be after and to completely ignore the context and fill it in with your own seems to make one guilty of the sin they are accusing this missionary of. Which is twisting the truth? Thoughts?
This is the result of being prideful. We've been conditioned to believe what is desirable, not the objective truth. Therefore we must humble ourselves to the truth even if we dont like them.

Believing in Christ and what he did for mankind. The tricky part is sticking to your convictions, and deny yourself, picking up your cross and following Jesus... even through the hard times. I believe it is during our hardships we grow the most through the Lord.
There is no easy way into heaven. If you die before you get there, you've been manipulated by false doctrine.
@@GriffinWelch Actually there is. The Word has said if you believe in Jesus, you would never perish and have everlasting life. Yes, we may die in our flesh. But afterwards? That's gonna be the best thing I would have ever experienced. Jesus is the Way, Truth and the Life. No one can enter Heaven and except through Him, bro.
I keep cracking up when Jeff calls him "elder" 😂😂
Thank you Jeff
Thank you for spreading the gospel truth, God bless you and protect you!
What is a god? How do you define it?
Do you agree or disagree:
1. god created EVERYthing, including you
2. god KNOWS everything
3. god is all powerful and can do anything and god Controls everything
4. god is perfect by definition and cannot make mistakes
Do you agree to all that?
Then why pray? God can read your mind and already knows what you feel and think.
What kind of a god would be petty enough to require you to grovel and beg?
What kind of a god demands that you murder animals and your own children as "worship"?
You reply: Oh, that was the Old Testament, we only take seriously the parts of the bible we enjoy, such as hating gays and ignoring logic.
Jesus said " I AM HERE TO UPHOLD THE LAW, NOT TO OVERTURN IT" So you are required to take every word of the insanity of Leviticus LITERALLY.

If you are flawed / sinful, whose fault is that? YOURS or the god that deliberately made you that way?
Oh, you had a choice to be sinful or not?
WHY would a god set up a trap like that in the first place? How is that loving or rational?
As a parent of your children, do you put out candy, hide, and if they eat the candy you told them not to eat, do you jump out of hiding and BEAT the shit out of your kids?
Your god is pretty enthusiastic about judgement, threats and punishments. You must enjoy that very much, judging and condemning others every day, as if you were a god.

Why should you be "tested"? GOD MADE YOU so if you're flawed, that is the fault of GOD, who could have simply made you perfect to begin with.

If there is suffering, who created it but god, who invented and controls EVERYTHING?
Why would you respect, obey or worship a cruel sadist?

Why would god set humanity up to fail>?
IF god is INFALLIBLE, what is the logical explanation for god's creation of EVIL / satan / sin?
If humanity is too imperfect to understand these questions,, then how are YOU so perfect that you can write / interpret a book or invent a church or preach and arrogantly claim to speak for god?
x
Why would an all powerful god bother to use books, churches, messengers, signs, angels, prophets, threats, punishments and other bull when it could simply SPEAK DIRECTLY and unambiguously directly to every person?
Isn't it a LOT more likely that religion is a con game scam invented to manipulate desperate and weak minded people?
A DRUG for the weak and desperate and stupid. A tool for the spiteful and judgmental. An easy way to make money for the con man. That is religion.

If you are too stupid to understand the bible and need a church to explain it to you, HOW are you smart enough to know which of the thousands of churches and books is real?
FEELINGS are not facts, they're subjective whims.
If Christ is so peaceful, why are there literally DOZENS of churches that have MURDERED and TORTURED and PERSECUTED each other in his name for CENTURIES of religious WARS?
Why are there literally HUNDREDS of versions of this "perfect" book, and why have so many christians tortured and executed non christians for centuries?

Oh, "god loves everyone"? Then why in church do you baptists and catholics and other psychotics yell at people, tell them that they are "sinful" and threaten them with hell? I think that's called bullying, not loving.
Oh, "salvation is free"? Then why do churches like the mormons and catholics and evangelical TV creeps constantly strongarm people to give huge amounts of money?

Your own organization teaches the Trinity through the books you believe:
2 Nephi 31:21
Alma 11:44
D&C 20:28
And yet, your organization will deny the Trinity because they don't seriously believe these books, only what the leaders of LDS will say despite contradictions. Here are more contradictions:
D&C 75:25
_"Behold, I say unto you, that _*_it is the duty of the church_*_ to assist in supporting the families of those, and also to support the families of those who are called and must needs be sent unto the world to proclaim the gospel unto the world."_
Is ANY money (not how much) given to EACH family for the boys to spend 2 YEARS proclaiming the gospel unto the world? I know for a FACT (not opinion) that the church spends ZERO money and the family must raise *ALL* the funds on their own. In order to just "ASSIST IN SUPPORTING" these families, each boy should receive at LEAST $6,000 a YEAR or $12,000 for the 2-year duration of their service from LD$ with global funding to be a minumum of $8 million a year.
This contradiction, not with the Bible, but LD$ published books that Mormons regard as true. Where there is smoke ... there is fire and many other contradictions can be easily reviewed.
We can finally say with valid confidence that contradictions in the books of Mormonism do exists and these should be carefully examined by anyone seeking TRUTH to know that LD$ is not a true organization.

Who is this Jeff bigot?
Christ said, "Blessed are the peacemakers." It is sad to see so much contention and misunderstanding. @apologiastudios took advantage of a young boy. I would be more than happy to sit down and have a real discussion with them on live stream of what LDS believe. There is not a single doctrine or teaching of the LDS faith that can't be substantiated by an appeal to the bible.
The ignorance on this page needs to stop. People who claim that Mormons worship Joseph Smith or other men lie. Stop believing lies that other people have told you about the LDS faith. LDS people worship God only. We only pray to God. We believe that only through Christ can we or anyone be saved. It is by his grace.
As to the doctrine of becoming "gods," let me first ask you if you sincerely believe Christ and the bible? If I were to show it unto to you, would you believe it? Probably not. For those sincerely seeking the truth though, here it is from the Bible and Christ himself. The Jews sought to condemn and kill Christ because he claimed to be the Son of God. To claim he was the Son, made him equal with God, because it meant he would be an heir to God. His response to them is classic, because he uses the Old Testament Psalms 82:6, to not only answer that he was the Son of God, but to point that they themselves were sons of God, and thus destined to be gods themselves. "Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scriptures cannot be broken." John 10:33-38. Those of you who have ears, let them hear.

The Book of Mormon does not teach that there is more than one God. It also does not support polygamy. These beliefs were introduced by Brigham Young after Joseph Smith’s death. This was proven in a U.S. federal court on February 26th, 1880 in Lake County, Ohio. The court ruled that the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was the legal continuation of the church established on April 6th, 1830. Joseph Smith designated his son Joseph Smith III to be his successor, not Brigham Young.
I'm agnostic, raised as a Lutheran... Mormons are crazy.
He brought up that the Bible has been "translated several times" as if that justifies him thinking he'll become a God of his own world someday... Lmao
He's saying that some things in the Bible have been changed because it's been translated so many times so it could be wrong
Cat gods real matey fly into it
Cat....excuse me but if you have everlasting life...you are immortal..and an immortal by definition is A God...not The God but a God. So be an antagonistic person if you wish that is fine, but at least use an argument that makes sense.

+Meat Dude, I had a similar experience, except they got so upset by their own Bibles refuting what they were saying, they literally ran away without another word. I mean, they just turned around and stormed off my property. It was very, very strange. I never once said a bad word to them about their beliefs, and I never raised my voice (I dislike angry people), but I couldn't just nod my head and agree with something I know is unfounded by Bible teachings.
About two years later, two female missionaries came to my house, but they were so happy to see what I was showing them from their own Bibles that they were literally crying happy tears. "Wow!" was the exclamation they kept using. After about an hour, they asked me not to cut the conversation short so I could attend a funeral! They were so happy when they left. I was happy, too. The next time I saw them, they refused to acknowledge or speak to me. That hurt. I assume they took what they were learning to their superiors, who put a stop to it. I hope they're both okay. I wish those girls only the best.
+Coldandugly Now that's a story that speaks to my heart. Those female missionaries will always remember that you were kind enough to take the time to share with them something from their Bible, something that they definitely never saw or heard before. If they're asking you not to leave for a funeral, just so you can continue the conversation, you know what they learned from you and the Bible touched their hearts. Nobody can remove that seed from their hearts, not even their superiors. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks, man.
You tried your best, Cold And Ugly (cool name, btw). I was a missionary also, and let me tell you, that same scenario happens all the time. My companion and I were read the Riot Act by one of our superiors when news reached him that we were sharing with investigators what we were personally learning from the Bible (things that were in contrast to church writings). He didn't kill my joy. I doubt the girls in your story lost theirs either. They were just scared.
Dear Gorilla, we don't have our own Bible... We use the KJV of the Bible..all day, every day, Sunday school, scripture study, personal study, etc. If you have any questions for me...please feel free to ask and I will use the bible that you use to discuss any concern you have...If you used The Book of Mormon to prove something to the sister missionaries, please share it with me. One minute you said you used their bible, the next you said you couldn't agree with something that wasn't found in bible teachings... so, what exactly were you trying to point out to the sweet young ladies.
nannykiki in Moroni 8:18 it says Heavenly Father God is unchangeable. However, LDS teaches from the words of Joseph Smith that He is progressing. My dictionary says those things words are opposites. We have a contradiction between the BoM and LDS.
There are contradictions between the BoM and D&C as well. It comes down to which one is right and which is wrong. Which book is true and which is false. That is how contradictions work and the reason why LDS fails.
Hopefully he went home and read the Bible New Testament ❤️
You are so wise praise the lord for you
Why are people so bent on attacking us: calling us a cult, calling us Satanists, simply because you do not agree with us. If someone could please explain this I would be most grateful.

How do you actually justify missionary work trying to convert little groups of people to God when your Vatican organization holds the wealth to do anything they want in the world? 2.7million people dying per year in Africa from preventable mosquito borne illness, is it part of God that allows them to be saved with your specific ways of recruitment? You could easily wipe out the deaths of millions of people with actual good faith, but they need to accept Jesus and conform for you to allow yourselves to build them schoolhouses churches and homes.
I do not beleive Christians deserve respect, not a single one. The fact that you can blindly unquestioningly "know" and have "faith" in a fantasy that anything bigger than you has good intentions for anything to do with you or the people around is nothing but a fantasy the 1% invent to keep you in line and productive little worker bees for the empire that controls the slave and sweatshop zones of the world.
Take in more information, the world is displayed unforgivingly on the internet and theres nothing but support to show Christianity was a forced religion, opposers were slaughtered and many religions have been eradicated because of the dictator that went down mythologically as Jesus, who's descendants still hold power over the commoners descendants it has continued to oppress for the last 2000 years.

@@yauker You don’t know me.
@@jaqenhghar2970 Right, they’re both fallen men. One of them is a false prophet…
I am a Christian who has befriended a Mormon. Pray that he sees the truth in Jesus Christ and how Jesus is the only way.
Jesus seals up vision and prophecy [Daniel 9:24]. This verse shows Muhammad and your buddy’s prophet Joey Smith false. These wolves in sheep’s clothes are blatantly shown wicked by their fruit.
If anyone still prophesies, his own parents will stab him. Cf. Zechariah 13:3-4. The Mormon view repudiates the finished work of Christ.
God now sends his messengers to the churches, as there could not be prophets. I.e. Revelation 2 & 3.
Joseph Smith received revelation that the garden of Eden is actually in St. Louis Missouri. Anyone believing that ol’ Joey is a prophet is mentally deficient.
@A Proud Believer Q7:157 is confirmed in Deuteronomy 18:20, not 18:18. Why would Allah claim Muhammad is mentioned in the Scriptures of the Jews and Christians, unless their texts were reliable?
@A Proud Believer the following verse emphatically declares and adroitly shows that our belief in Easter is central to our salvation.
Romans 10:9 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
To summarize, YOU WILL BE SAVED! That is, if you do not believe, you will be humbled (not proud).
Are we gullible stooges for believing in Easter?
If Islam is true, (Surah 4:157-58) why would Allah fake Jesus’s cruxifixction and intentionally deceive people for six hundred years, only to later reveal this to Muhammad? Truly silly.
Satan is the greatest of deceivers, not God. (Surah 3:54)
If Muhammad was not illiterate, he would have read the secular historical accounts of Christ’s crucifixion written by Jesus’s contemporaries. Anyone today, can still find these discoverable documents.
Lucian of Samasata was a sarcastic atheist who verified his public crucifixion, a fact confirmed by the Babylonian Talmud.
Jesus’s public crucifixion was also confirmed by neutral parties such as Tacitus, Josephus and Pliny, not to mention the many others who loved and followed him.
His death and resurrection defines who we are in God and distinctly separates us as proud believers of what he did for us.
I’m not sure how anyone could believe in someone that received divine revelation, that the sun sets in a pool of muddy water? Q18:86
@A Proud Believer if “Islam is truth,” as you claim, why have you not responded?
As originally stated, Daniel 9:24 provides a specific Time-Text, for precisely when “all vision and prophecy” was “sealed.” I.e. More than two thousand years ago.
As Jesus is the Messiah or the Christ; our Lord fulfills Daniel’s prophetic mission statement of the “Anointed One.”
This verse clearly shows that anyone since fulfillment, [two thousand years] claiming to be a prophet, false.
Nothing to say? I didn’t think so.
Think this is my favourite Jeff Durbin video yet! Love the calmness but the preciseness
He is 0% calm and extremely dismissive. Because he has "rational arguments" against Mormonism. Yet, he has none against the Bible. Because the Bible is correct, of course. Naturally. That story makes 100% sense.
We are all brothers in Christ! One Baptism one FAITH 🙏
The Bible is clear that all people are God’s creation (Colossians 1:16), and that God loves the entire world (John 3:16), but only those who are born again are children of God (John 1:12; 11:52; Romans 8:16; 1 John 3:1-10).
In Scripture, the lost are never referred to as God’s children. Ephesians 2:3 tells us that before we were saved we were “by nature children of wrath” (Ephesians 2:1-3). Romans 9:8 says that “it is not the natural children who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring.”
Instead of being born as God’s children, we are born in sin, which separates us from God and aligns us with Satan as God’s enemy (James 4:4; 1 John 3:8). Jesus said, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me” (John 8:42). Then a few verses later in John 8:44, Jesus told the Pharisees that they “belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire.”
The fact that those who are not saved are not children of God is also seen in
1 John 3:10: “This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother.”
We become God’s children when we are saved because we are adopted into God’s family through our relationship with Jesus Christ (Galatians 4:5-6; Ephesians 1:5). This can be clearly seen in verses like Romans 8:14-17: “…because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now IF we are children, then we are heirs-heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.” Those who are saved are children “of God through faith in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:26) because God has “predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will” (Ephesians 1:5).
It’s very strange the whole I’m going to become God thing ... seems almost egotistical. Who they hell are we to think we could be like God ?! Lol that’s satan speaking in the garden
Thats how people interpret it, but the actually meaning is because we love God God made it possible to become like Him, we do that through first acquiring Christlike attributes. The most important being to Love God with all the heart, mind, might, and strength and the second to love your neighbor as yourself.
The New Testament and Early Christian teachings prior to Nicea dictated theosis. A Early Christian Father said, God became man to that man can become God” and Biblical passages support it and it makes sense, that if God is our literal father, what good father doesn’t want their children to improve and be like Them?
Almost as egotistical as how most modern christians see God. As some greek deity figure that wants us to sit around and blast trumpets and praise for eternity
When we become exalted, God will always be our king

No, the Mormon was doing the translation argument that they usually throw out first as an explanation. You’re good, Steve. We gotcha.
The one true Bible and God never ever said that we can become other God’s and that’s what Satan wanted to be and that’s why God threw Satan out from Heaven! The Ten Commandments clearly says that you shall not have any other Gods before me( God ) cause God is also a jealous God!

You forget that it just defeats the whole entire premise of the Bible. That it's idolatry, becoming a god. Satan wanted to be God, decieved Eve into that. It just defeats the whole foundation of Christianity.
That was great
It’s not very polite to walk up to a 18 year old missionary with a camera and put a lot of pressure on him on a random subject he may not know all the information of compared to someone else who does in his church. There are lots of misconceptions of their church and people who make “exposing” videos are very hurtful and misleading. Everyone in their own church has a certain knowledge of the gospel and everyone is different. We’re all human after all, some people just know certain topics or facts better than others just like in anything else in life. that’s why in the lds church there is 2 elders serving together one is usually more experienced and the newer missionary can learn a few things from and grow.
On a side note It’s a very courageous thing to take 2 years of your time to preach the gospel you believe in. if you want to have a productive discussion I suggest you don’t walk up with a camera and shame him for views, if you’re genuinely curious of what their gospel has to offer then just set up a time to meet up and they can talk with you here and there if you have any questions and if you’re willing to take the time to hear them out.
Hope this helps someone, don’t judge a book by its cover.
