It's a good thing you're not endorsed by The Catholic Church. Because of you trully new ANYTHING about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- Day Saints, you would know that truth is that we know and practice The Bible, and we abuse by its teachings so long as it is translated correctly. And THAT IS THE TRUTH. We know as well as any other Christian Faith. Lastly the TRUTH IS we are NOT MORMONS. We are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Short for calling us Latter-Day Saints, and THAT IS TRUTH. We are not Mormons any more than Catholics are Lutherans or Baptists are Methodist. The Ancient Prophet Mormon abridged and compiled the other books in The Book of Mormon. God does not call His Church - The Church of Jesus Christ of Mormons. That dear folks IS TRUTH.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial I do too so why do you give 💰 to a church that hides pedophiles. Not to mention it's history of hiding things like the Bible...
Prove that the Catholic Church hid the bible. Give me some facts from now on to back up your overzealous claims. The Catholic Church never hid the Bible. Rather, the Catholic Church made the bible, copied the bible for over a thousand years, and translated it into different languages. The Church also taught the bible to people, quoted it often, and even taught it in seminaries to priests, like Luther for example, who was commissioned to teach the Bible by the Catholic Church when he was a priest. Also, the Catholic Church is not a pedophile club lol. That is just ignorance. Pure and total ignorance. Which is why I made a video on the topic for uninformed people like yourself who has not studied this topic. ruclips.net/video/4GK2Z6lTdAo/видео.html If you are going to make claims, start giving facts. Otherwise, they are just your biased opinions.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial pretty sure the "reformation" was about getting the scriptures into the hands of the common folks... which history teaches the "church" opposed?
First off, I’m not Catholic. As someone who was born and raised in the Mormon world for 56 years, I’ve never heard it all stated more perfectly and more hysterically! All true! I left the church after a lifetime in it for a lot of other reasons 14 years ago. As this young man is stating, he could go on and on, and he indeed could. And it’s not to be mean. The Mormon people are basically fabulous people but that’s the problem. Their deeds and their kindnesses, and with some, their wealth is all quite impressive but that’s the problem! All the far out things you must do, unfortunately, are not going to save them, but it “feels” like it especially if you’re living all those rules. You develop a sense of entitlement and feel special because you do all those right things. Understanding the word of God, venerating him and giving him your heart, and simply loving others as he would is Christian and way too “simple” but is what it takes, yet it’s very difficult for them to see since they are so busy “working.” A confusing, exhausting, religion that will take everything you have from you, along with our Savior, Christ himself, which is the saddest thing of all.
I became a believer in Jesus at age 22, after years of Catholic indoctrination. Over 15 yrs. of Cath. education, and never once was the substiutionary atonement of Christ mentioned. Instead, they taught that because you are a sinner you made Jesus suffer and die because of your sins...therefore you need to do tons of things to attain salvation.....sacraments, confession, make someone else a Cath. who isn't one, go to Mass, etc. So I was overjoyed to discover i didn't have to worry about those things anymore....Christ took the penalty for sin upon himself. I liken Catholicism to what's spoken in Romans 7......all the terms of the law cannot justify you before God. And that's what Catholicism taught all of us......blind obedience to terms of the law. There are some Catholic believers, like me now, but possibly stumbled onto the gospel by accident, like I did.
This is a misinterpretation of our faith. The real name of our church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. How did the Savior pray to the Father so many times in the New Testament. Jesus was also resurrected after His Cruxifixction and has a body of flesh and bones like our Father in Heaven. The Holy Ghost is Spirit. 😇❤️
No not everything he said is true. He got some things right but some things were completely off. I am a Mormon, always have been always will be. I am not sure where he is getting this information but it is not right. I think he is talking about a different religion, because this doesn't sound like Mormonism at all.
As a former Mormon, I can attest that this is all true! I asked my dad (practicing Mormon) about the "we will become a god of our own planet" belief when I was still Mormon because I had learned of it from someone else, thinking surely this is just crazy talk, and he told me it's actually true!! Unbelievable!!!
Our belief is, ‘as man is now, God once was, and as God is now, man can become. This belief explains how God is Not infinite, because it is impossible to exist before infinity.
This doesn't make sense. God is infinity. God is infinite and God is eternity. Saying that God had a beginning makes him a lousy God and from a Christian perspective is blasphemy.
@@samuelclarkson8237 ye of little faith doubt the power and glory of God almighty? As He said in Isaiah to osraohrase: there are no other gods before me, and their will be no other gods after me. And when he presented himself to Moses, He stated "I AM"
@@rafael502 no matter what, there is beginning to existence, which means that there was a beginning for our God. He told Moses "I AM", however, he told Moses to tell this to the Hebrews, I interpret this as telling them that He is their deliverence, their God, Their Sheperd guiding them to the promised land through a prophet with his priesthood, neither of which are believed to exist today except in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
My neighbors are Mormon Have been here twenty five years. They are so awesome and kind, also I have spent hours studying with the missionaries. I knew all this weird stuff. I was raised Catholic, n as soon as I told them no way am I converting they lost interest. Yes I found them weird just not my cup of tea.
Yes, the majority of Mormons are VERY nice and salt of the earth type of people. We must remember to be charitable towards them WITHOUT compromising our Catholic faith. I had to remind myself of this several times when engaging in conversation with them. It becomes difficult at times to debate or point out an inconvenient truth to them because of their overall sweet demeanor. Thanks for commenting!

@@zamuraishogun2731 Pardon me, I would like to know… out of everything that Catholic man said in his video, which part was a lie and can you explain why it’s a lie? I’m just curious.
As a son of a mormon mother. I need to correct you in a small detail. Coffee and tea are not allowed. Yet drinks with caffeine in them are allowed. The church never "upgraded" the "laws" to include cafinated drinks. Joseph Smith claimed that God told him that coffee, tea, and tobacco were bad. Yet it took a couple of generations to eliminate them. Historical records show that Joseph Smith, among many others, still ordered coffee for their trip out of N.Y. The younger generation, however, was not allowed to partake. As for these days. The Mormon church claims that it has nothing to do with caffeine. It is all about doing what God tells us to do. Therefore, coffee is not allowed because God fobid it. However, God does not forbid redbull, or many types of chocolate that are high in caffeine.
@@johngallagher8775 I drink coffee and im LDS. Its a guide, its not law. The argument is, we may not know why coffee is in the words of wisdom yet. For instance, tobacco was in the words of wisdom way before it was known to cause cancer. Theres been some recent studies that link hot drinks to causing throat cancer. I think it has to do with booze. Back then they put booze in everything. He's not correct about the caffeine thing either. Its hot drinks which Joseph Smith said were coffee and tea. Every mormon I know drinks energy drinks or soda. Personally I think coffee is a way better choice, that's just me. At the end of the day it's between me and god.
I'm on a personal journey to learn more about Jesus. I'm talking to Mormons weekly now. They are super kind and very caring about me and my family. Atleast appear to be. They want me to attend their church and be baptized. I'm not sure about it, as I attend a Baptist church already & was baptized there. I have no intention on converting or anything like that. I just enjoy talking to them about God and they make me feel better about myself. I've been in recovery for about 7 years now and trying to strengthen my relationship with God and teach my kids about Him also. But anyways, yes, i find them a little strange but I feel as I'm helping them feel like their mission isn't for nothing. I'm sure they get turned away and shunned on a regular. So I talk to them and allow them to visit and pray with me and for me. I text them throughout the week and let them know someone cares about them. I have seen videos on how they are treated and sometimes looked down upon if they aren't doing enough of this or that. I feel extremely sad that this happens to such good young people. I figure they don't realize what's going on in their church at such a young age (as they are about 19 or so).. but anyways, I'd consider them a friend. As they grow, they'll become more aware and probably leave anyways..as many already have. They aren't pushy about anything in my experience with them.. they just seem genuinely good-hearted & loving. I wish the best for them and hope they have a good future. I pray for all that are lost. Much love - from a stranger in WV. 🙏✝️❤
@jeRm I've been LDS my entire life, served a mission and have no intention of leaving my faith. Kudos to you for your love and kindness to the missionaries. It can be a thankless and difficult two years. Be blessed!
One thing about Mormons is they have a value system. Their beliefs are cockeyed and odd and cultish bigtime. I'm Traditional Catholic which is not Catholic of today.
I would cation you about inviting them into your home to pray. They believe in a counterfeit jesus's which means he is of the devil,in fact they teach he is the devils brother. Being kind or nice is great but you have children to protect. Inviting a false christ into your home is dangerous.
They told my husband who had long hair at the time was going against God because only women should have long hair because it's a veil.What I found amusing was that one of them was a woman with short hair lol. My husband is Catholic and he let me continue to point out every contradiction they continued to speak to us.I had recently converted to Catholicism and I loved that I had so much fun explaining things to them and they never stopped at our house again lol
@Ramon-800 I know exactly what religion they were because they told us when we opened the door. I live in Kentucky and they may practice different from you. I have no idea, I just listened and politely told them I already practice a different religion and they left. I don't like how some people treat them because I respect all religions that cause no harm.
@@Firewind1969 its really sad that you had that experience! some members make mistakes like that because, afterall, we all do. We are all sinners. So we have people like this inside the church, but thats not really how she should act. Hope you dont get me wrong ^^
I'm a home health aide. one of my clients was LDS. I kept my beliefs to myself (raised Catholic) and politely listened when he was trying to convert me. I know it was nonsense, everytime he started in on LDS beliefs, I would feel ill.
My dad is not Mormon but he had heard of the missionaries and stories about them talk about Good Works so he reached out and ask if they'd help clean his house and yard that he wouldn't mind a few lessons. After cleaning he lost some of his old smoking pipes that were given to him by his Grandfather from the Apache tribe. When he asked the missionaries if they had seen them they said "oh yeah we threw them away." These were almost 100 year old smoking pipes and my dad never smoked out of them, but kept them because of memories. That in my opinion was fucked up
Wouldn't it have been respectful and proper for them to have asked your father if he wanted them saved ? Just taking the liberty to throw them away sounds like something self annointed " saints " would do.
So your dad thought he could take advantage of these people for some free labor and they did teach him a lesson. He just didn’t know the lesson was don’t be a mooch 😂
@@daveyjones9930 You, a god, would create a planet with no religion? What if people figured out you existed? Wouldn't you want them to worship you? If religious wars are what you're worried about, why not just tell them yourself what the rules are? After all, you're God. Far be it from them to tell you you're wrong
@@daveyjones9930 I have to admit, I'm struggling to understand how you'd make your presence blatantly known to all your creations, and do all kinds of wonderful things for them, but not want them to worship you at any cost
I was raised Mormon but broke away in ‘07. By 12 I knew I wanted out. Several of the points you make were taught in the church before my time. Theories and stories have been swept under the rug throughout the past century and a half. Nobody believes that they get their own planet anymore for example. But the whole “skin of darkness” thing. Yeah that’s true. It’s still in the book. Messed up! I get a kick out of uncovering more and more about this “church” my parents and friends are still in
@@wendymccullough7909 it's hard to say because their doctrines keep changing to make them more palatable to the average person. Generally they still believe in exaltation for they can become gods like God is now, but don't really talk about the other parts. The new speaking points are "we can become like our Heavenly Father."
@@wendymccullough7909 sorry for the wait! It pretty simple really. You go to heaven. They really push the family aspect though. They believe if you are all “sealed” together in the Mormon temple, you’ll be able to be together in the afterlife. Or yeah the “becoming like a god” has been dimmed somewhat too throughout the last few decades. Always finding new ways to sell it lol.
But thank you for revealing the truth. May God continue to use you and reveal to you more and more, so that you help the church to know the truth. This is so encouraging to know you are a catholic!! Traditionally only catholic priests, actually bishops are allowed to open the Bible and teach the truth.
Today I was confirmed into the Catholic church 🙏🙏 I left the Mormon church to become Catholic and I'm so grateful to finally be a part of God's true church!
Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
God walked among us. On Earth. Genesis 3:8 says, “And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.
I too feel so blessed to be catholic as I child I never really understood or appreciated the gift my parents gave me by raising me as a cradle catholic. What a blessing.
There isn't much to be proud of in the Catholic faith. I was raised and went to Catholic schools for 12 years. The cover -up of the priests molesting the children and their involvement in right wing politics is a no no and criminal. You can't tell me that any of the popes didn't know what was going on. A lot of people got bought off. There's not a word that could be used to say how disappointed and let down I've felt. A priest that I really liked when I was in grade school, in my parish, turned out to be an abuser. Sad
@@CatholicTruthOfficial because I live in reality. When I was young I thought I must have been doing something. I stopped thinking that a very long time ago.
Ask your Mormon leader who has read the Mormon doctrine if being Black is a curse and the sign given to Cain after killing his brother? They believe all black people are cursed.
I am a member of The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I have heard others talking bad about our church and this man is no different. I do not like to hear others talk badly about the LDS or any other church. I feel that if someone has a love for others they respect others. I don't believe that the Catholic church or any other church for that matter is free from being attacked by someone with hate in their heart. Let me say some of the things he mentioned in his assault on the LDS church are true but twisted to distort the truth. I have read the Book Of Mormon Another Testament of Jesus Christ and have found it to be the word of God. If you really want to learn about the church don't listen to haters but find out for yourselves. Many of the comments that have been shared are from people that are looking for their Heavenly Father, my advice is to find out for yourselves and not take the word of someone that is laughing and insulting someone else"s beliefs.
Telling the truth about another religion is not the same thing as talking bad about them. I actually love Mormons and loved all of our dialogues and meetings. They were all very loving and cordial, but yet, Mormons have a very white-washed presentation of what they believe and it's not fair to others looking in. If Mormons were up front and honest about all of their beliefs, we never would have had to make this video. God bless and thanks for the comment.
I have read the Book of Mormon and God has told me it is false. Even without that confirmation I know that I Nephi 1 is historically and linguistically incorrect.
Thank you so much for this video, Bryan! I was raised Catholic and converted to the Mormon church 45 years ago. After 3 years I learned these teachings you are talking about in this video and I left the Mormon church and returned to the Catholic church. All their teachings are an attempt to deify man and humanize god!
@@CatholicTruthOfficial 1) nowhere in the bible does it say confess all your sins to a priest who then gives you a way to pay for your sin and get back into God's good graces. It also doesn't say you have to go to confession BEFORE taking communion or else you may be in danger of going to hell. 2) Nowhere in the bible does it say priests or nuns must be unmarried 3) Nowhere does it say Mary's birth was an immaculate conception 4) Nowhere in the bible does it say pray to Mary for intercession or any dead person, but instead, cautions people AGAINST it, calling it sorcery. 5) Nowhere does it say to repeat prayers someone else has written down over and over, but it does tell us not to do that 6) nowhere does it say there needs to be a Pope standing in for Jesus as a Vicar on the earth (that is the Holy Spirit's job) 7) Nowhere does it say tell everyone how to interpret the bible and discourage them from coming up with their own interpretation cause they haven't had enough formal, theological training to be smart enough for that. 8) The bible doesn't say make the scripture interp so confusing no one can follow it, but memorize the interp along with the verse for maximum confusion. 9) The bible does not say to take a vow of poverty, or to take a vow of silence, or to whip yourself to make your flesh come under subjection 10)The bible does not support the notion of purgatory and nowhere does it say we can pray anyone out of their own accountability for their own sin. It's the end game when people die and they alone are responsible for their own lives. I am sure there are more, but there is 10ish...just to get you started. :)
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Catholics also get some stuff right. Right to life, birth control, and marriage forever to one person until death, and taking care of the poor, feeding the hungry. Protestant churches fall short in all these areas, hopefully the Catholic church will stop compromising and fearing man. But they have so much extra biblical stuff going on. They overthink it, just like the Jews did. :)
@@CatholicTruthOfficial The Catholic church hides alot of evil satanic stuff. There's a video called "Evidencias 777" that reveals with raw evidence. Too bad the video hasn't been translated from Spanish to English
We were invited to a going away party for a friend of ours before he went away on his mission. He couldn't make a move without being watched by an elder. There was Mormon literature all over the house for us to pick up and the place was full of "elders" in their Mormon uniforms (short sleeves white shirt, black tie, black trousers and name tag). I e never seen anything so cultish.
This is for everyone's protection. If they are together, they have each other's back. They are less tempted to do something bad, and more encouraged to do what they need to do. They can't be in a situation where someone could "bear false witness" against one of them. What they wear separates them and tells everyone who they are. There is method to the madness!
I’ve been an active member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints since 2013. I even served a mission for 2 years for the church in my mid 20’s. I’m extremely familiar the doctrine the church teaches. Everything that was said in this video has been falsely said about the church and it’s belief for years, this guy just read a bunch of Anti Mormon books and is regurgitating them. He has not actually studied what members of the church believe. As an actual member who knows what’s taught and believed in the church, almost everything that was said is either completely misrepresented or is false. As a member of the church I have a very personal relationship with my savior Jesus Christ, I am often influenced by the Holy Ghost which influences me to want to do good and serve others like Christ served. I believe it is only through faith in Jesus Christ that I am saved. I have felt the guilt and shame of sin washed from me because of my faith in the Lord which faith has lead me to repentance. All the blessings I enjoy in this life have come from my Heavenly Father and my Faith in my Savior has come to me because of the doctrine that’s taught in the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Everything said in this video is false? You are either ignorant of teachings or you are lying. You don't teach a baptism for the Dead? Your own website says you do. I'm not alone you can't say that everything was wrong. In fact, many Mormons and former Mormons have all said the things in his video were true. We're mostly true but with a few understanding. That's more accurate than your extreme position with shows you probably didn't even watch the video. Another thing, the Mormon website says that the father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three separate beings and three separate Gods. We stated that in the video. So again, everything in the video was wrong. They were correct, with the exception of maybe the caffeine one because you like everything else the Mormons have changed at this also subsequently.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Your exact words: "They actually baptize people who are already dead." Really? We baptize dead people? No, in the temples, baptisms FOR the dead are performed by proxy. There are millions and millions of people who lived on the earth and never had the opportunity to hear the gospel, and many didn't even know of Jesus Christ, the Savior. Our Father in heaven is a loving, just God, and He wants everyone who ever lived to have the opportunity to hear the gospel and have the chance to accept or reject it, so if they didn't have the opportunity to hear it in this mortal life, they will be given the chance to hear it in the Spirit world after they die. And in reference to your comment about an atheist; just because someone does the proxy temple work for someone else who has died does not guarantee that he will be saved in the Celestial Kingdom. Only God knows our hearts, and if we have the chance to accept the gospel in this life and fail to do so, well good luck with that! But God is our final judge. It's not for me or you to judge who goes to the Celestial Kingdom (heaven, if you like that word better) or not. But, again, everyone who didn't have the chance here to accept the gospel in this world will have the chance in the spirit world. The Bible makes reference to "work for the dead", in other words, proxy baptism. 1 Corinthians 15:29 in the New Testament says, " Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
When I was a kid two young Mormon missionaries came to our house, my parents were JW'S they both tried converting each other I'm sure both my parents and the Mormons thought they were right..at the end of the day all the extreme versions of Christianity are pretty blinkered and toxic also extremely hypocritical just in different ways.
The jewish faith died when the pharisees and saddeusees rejected the son of God, the 2nd person of the Holy Trinity. In the bible it also mentions that you no longer need to follow all the laws of moses, just the 10 commandments of God etc. It's no longer required to be circumcized as a first born to be presented to the Lord. Now we have Christianity, Jesus said he is the way the truth and the life. Btw, what's hypocritical about Christianity? If you're talking about the people, remember this quote, "if you find the perfect church, don't go there because you will make it imperfect"..... we are all sinners. Imperfect. Tha's why Christ died for us on the cross.
@@catholicfemininity2126 What do you mean the Jewish Faith died?? The Jews are alive and well. I have close and active Jewish friends. They go to temple on Saturdays. There's a Jewish temple just down the street from where I used to live. Hmmm.... I wonder if they know their Jewish Faith died???⁸
I have a friend thats mormon. But when i ask about their religion and faith. They cant answer it because its not yet revealed to them as a whole. 😔 and she said that not all mormons can enter their church/temple anytime they want....
So not true kind of ? ANYONE a can come into church! No questions asked What everyone CANT do is go in the temple . That’s for ages 12 and up to do baptisms for the dead , and 18 + to actually go through the temple , and that’s the stuff they don’t talk about .
@@robertwilber1909you must be in a state of Grace (not committed any grave sins, if you have you must go to confession first) if you are not in a state of Grace the priest will give you a blessing
Mormons feel so entitled and better than anyone else. During a recent storm where we had 120 mph winds that knocked out power in places in Tulsa not one of mormon neighbors asked the 4 non mormons if they needed anything. I tried to tell one of them that there was something in one of their trees he would not even acknowledge me. It has been up there for 7 days and they have children. If it is heavy I hope it doesn't fall in one of them. Also a year and a half ago this neighborhood did not have any Mormons in it. They started moving in after I found out that my husband was having an adulterous affair with a much younger Mormon woman. He doesn't live here with me now, but this young hussy has changed the house she stays in 5 times since the affair started. He, my estranged husband lies and says she doesn't exist, even though she and all her protectors drive by my house at least 20 times a day. They hacked my phone and were stalking me until I was left without a car by my oh so rotten SO. He has lied to our grown kids too. Playing innocent. Even though his colleagues at work and security have seen her daily with him They also team up to sneak him into her "home" nightly and out again the next day. He manipulated our youngest, 36, to go to court and sign me in to a place for observation because he made her believe I was paranoid. His little jezebel has a license from the state to counsel people who have mental health issues. Imagine that. Also she is from the Stclair family, part of the Sinclair family. Money. He made sure that I have no money, no car and am living in a house that should be condemned trying to blame me for it. I do not know carpentry. The roof has been partly gone for 5 years. Have to empty lots of buckets when it rains. Mold is growing and I cannot get any help. I called the local law enforcement when this all started, they are no help, in fact the female cop showed up and the only question she asked me was "does Dementia run in your family??" Are you kidding me. These people have had me terrified on lots of occasions. They feel that it is ok to harass and scare a 65 year old woman who has no resources at her disposal. The mormons do not care. I cannot talk to anyone at the local morman churches, or at the Temple in Salt Lake City. They are the most ungodly people I have ever known. They all are driving new cars now, hell I would love to have a used. car. I cannot get to the grocery, my daughter and her sperm donor go. I have been out only about 10 times in a year if I can find a ride and I have to pay someone. I gave every dime I had to our family and did everything for everyone. But no one stands up for me. He is in debt as am I but he has a retirement account. We had to use mine so it is gone. We bought a house after we married using my VA loan but the house was foreclosed on after he lost his job. I still have $10,000 to pay on the house..We are behind o doing taxes by 16 years. He never does anything to fix any of the messes. But blames me. I gave up. I am tired of being a nobody to this family if you can call it that.
This reminded me a bit of Scientology. Until the recent series about it, only people that were committed to Scientology were given the doctrine of the faith. That alone tells you everything you need to know. There is no need to hide the truth, if what you're teaching is true. The only reason to withhold your teachings is because you need to groom your subjects first so they'll believe your twisted words. Our doctrine is available for all to see, The Catechism of the Catholic Church. Nothing is hidden.
Mormons use the term "milk before meat", as justification for non disclosure of their more bizarre beliefs. I guess once you are sucked in and jump through their hoops, you can then be told what you actually are supposed to believe.
You are spot on with EVERYTHING except the caffeine. They cannot drink coffee or tea, but Coke and energy drinks are ok-although frowned upon. I went to class at BYU with a Diet Coke in hand everyday (not caffeine free). I was Mormon my whole life until about a few years ago. I didn’t know my beliefs were out of the ordinary, so I didn’t “choose” to not tell- I just didn’t know that they were so different from other Christians. Most missionaries are really young, and they might not know half of what you taught here-especially the dark skin curse. I didn’t know until I researched it. It’s terrible.
Yes, correcr. We realize this has changed since, and even Mormons have said the church changed it and since clarified their position. Thanks for the comment.
@@annettedeem5252 You cannot drink regular coffee or teas (non herbal) if you want to keep your LDS temple recommend (and if you want to follow the word of wisdom). That question is asked in an interview. If you don’t care about a temple recommend and you don’t have a bishop interview coming up, feel free do anything you want.
@@hulagirldeedee Hula, we are not controlled by anybody. If someone wants to drink coffee or tea they can. If someone wants to have a coke or Pepsi they can. There is no church police that come and get you if you drink coffee or tea. My dad drank Sanka, a decaffeinated coffee. I don't even know if they make it any more. I have never cared much for tea. There's no coffee in my house either. So, as for my next interview with the Bishop, no worries.
Please pray for my family. I'm feeling at the end of my rope, I'm so sad and have been praying for help for my family and my children for so long. The Bible tells the story of the persistent widow and the corrupt judge and says that God will help us if we persist because He is the perfect just Judge and loves us.
I can understand and relate. I prayed for my family for many years. And it took many many years for them to come around after some extreme circumstances. Unfortunately, God can't force people to change or interfere with their Free Will, and so sometimes it takes a long time. But I will pray for your family and for you. Sorry you are feeling at the end of your rope. I understand that feeling. Keep strong. Keep persevering. Keep finding strength in prayer yourself. Knowing that God has all things in control.
Milly Esther I understand your frustrations. I am in the same place. Praying for your family now also please pray for mine. Together we pray as intercessors in agreement for their salvation. God bless you. 🕊
My imaginary friend says that all sandwiches should have the crust cut off, but their imaginary friend says that all sandwiches should leave the crust on. How crazy is that?!
As an ex-Mormon who used to be a missionary let me correct you on some falsehoods. Do mind that as an ex-Mormon I have no love for that church but if there is anything I believe in as someone who doesn't believe in any god anymore, it's accuracy and honesty. As much as I agree with you that Mormonism and Catholicism are not the same, when I was in the church I never professed that they were similar. So this also depends on the member I would say. So let's look at the points you try to make and I will give some comments: 1) Mormon Doctrine does NOT call the trinity three gods. They do say they are separate entities but since you need to have had a physical body first and have a minimum of one eternal marriage, it's impossible for the Holy Spirit to be a god at this stage as he is a spirit being and has not had a chance to have a body yet etc. So by Mormon definition the Holy Spirit is currently not a god. As for Jesus he might have had a body in this world and he may have temple endowments done but he is not considered god as he will be god to his own children and not his father's children. Christ is considered an older brother to all of us in a rather more literal sense. Christ is called the only-begotten however because of the immaculate conception being unique. They do believe that there are many gods but each one is the only god to his children. This still means that in Mormon doctrine God the Father is the one true god. Jesus plays a role as his representative and mediator between us and god the father. If Mormons told you that they see the trinity as three actual gods, they do not understand their own doctrine. 2&3) Here you show another misunderstanding. Mormons believe that we are literally children of god. All of us. So in the pre-existence (time before we came to earth), God and his wife or wives had many billions of children that were born in spirit. Then the plan was presented that we could come down here and earn a body that would then be exalted afterwards if we merit it. If we do and have one or more wives then we can start our own spirit family and do the same for them. That also means that the God of our God is our grandfather, literally. It's not some random other god. This also explains why Mormons are so family oriented because at the core this is one big family thing. And an eternal family as such as the family continues forward eternally, it also goes backward eternally. There is no first god in that sense but an eternal family. The reason that we only speak of god the father and not the mother is because of the priesthood being the role of the man. This is actually something that is very catholic also. So god essentially to the outside is the person but the role of the mother is also very important in that equation so it's a shared responsibility in which the man and wife or wives have separate roles. 4&5&6) The pre-existence as I mentioned already is the spirit world that they say we lived in before coming to earth. Not only were Lucifer and Jesus brothers, they were our brothers and the eldest ones at that. Again they are seen as our literal brothers. The bible does have references to the war in heaven as it's called when Lucifer took off which one third of the angels, which in Mormon doctrine means a third of the children of god and his wife (wives). The mark of Cain being black skin is something that needs a bit more context. It is true that this is the doctrine and it's why black men were not allowed to hold the priesthood. However, it has to be said that in the time that the Mormon church was founded in the 19th century this was actually a more common belief and as their church was founded in that period it became part of their doctrine. Also other faiths subscribed to this idea but as their doctrines were set already before it wasn't added or seen as needed as an addition. So yes, they do believe it but I also believe this to be a Zeitgeist element that coincided with the creation of their church. Unlucky you could say but it wasn't until the 1970s that they rescinded this saying god had forgiven them and from then on they could get the priesthood. Railing on polygamy is disingenuous from your side since polygamy and having concubines was normal in the Old Testament and prophets of your god participated in this, so I'm not sure why this is an issue for you. The Mormon church still has polygamy in the sense that if you get married in the temple (which is for eternity) and your wife dies and you remarry in the temple, both marriages count for the afterlife. You will effectively have two wives after your death. But again it's rather disingenuous to complain about a practice that is normal and ok for prophets in the bible. 7&8) There are indeed three degrees in heaven but also within the celestial level. So you can be in the celestial level as a single but only get the highest grade if married. The caffeine thing is false. Joseph Smith at some point wrote down what is known as the word of wisdom, which later was changed from advice to church law. In that law it is said that hot drinks should be avoided as they are considered bad for the belly. This was later interpreted as tea and coffee. This caused a lot of members to believe that the reason for this was the caffeine but this is not doctrine. In fact Coca Cola won a lawsuit about that and the church has been careful about this. But from a doctrinal point of view it's not forbidden to take caffeine like in soft drinks, just tea and coffee. This is of course ironic because they will drink herbal teas for example and the reason for this advice was probably just to not drink your tea too hot because that is bad for you. But caffeine itself is not forbidden by church doctrine. Any Mormon who says it is, again, doesn't understand their own doctrines. 9) Baptisms for the dead are a thing, as well as performing marriages for the dead. However, it must be noted that this is a matter of law to them. Everybody who ever lived should have the chance of accepting or rejecting what they see as the true church. So these temple rites are performed to give the deceased the opportunity to accept OR reject them. Therefore it's not that people are automatically saved or members of the church by these baptism. As far as I know baptism is also key for Catholicism as they do baptize newborns (which Mormons don't). This is their way of dealing with the question of: what happens to people who never had a chance in their life to embrace the true faith? I could ask the same of Catholics and if the answer is that they don't need to be baptized to be saved, then what's the point of having baptisms at all? Strange as the whole concept may be, it does fit within the logic of a religion that hasn't had the chance to reach every person alive ever. 10) One of the reasons Mormons believe John is still alive and never died is because of John 21 (verses 21-23). I'd like to hear your interpretation of that. However, if god had indeed decided that John would stay alive till the return of Christ on earth as it seems to say in that bible passage, then why would there be sightings and news reports? Is god not all powerful? So you're actually questioning the ability of god to do this. Also please note that there are NO records reporting that Jesus existed during the time he was supposedly alive. None. It's all AFTER and it's all based on what the early Christians wrote down at least 50 years after Christ supposedly died and resurrected. But no one reported this at the time. Also there are no historical references for King David, Abraham etc. So why rail on the Mormons for believing someone was alive but have no sightings when most of the players in the bible are historically unconfirmed. That should bother you too. Listen, you don't like the Mormons. That's cool. I don't either. But then I don't like Christians over all because they all believe weird things that only have become normalized in our society because it was forced down people's throat with violence if needed. The Mormons added a book to the bible. A lot of Christians hate that. But these Christians forgot they did the same with the Jews. The Christians took a translation of that Tanakh and added some things to it and made some interesting translation and punctuation differences that actually changed the meaning of certain things and even changed the order of the books. Then it was called the Old Testament and a New Testament was added. In essence you took the Jewish faith and said they were wrong and you knew better and added stuff to it. So with all due respect but all you Christians are crazy to believe what you believe from where I'm sitting. Also your bible says judge not lest ye be judged and you seem very interesting in judging others, particularly Mormons. I guess the end justifies the means? It's things like that why I can't take Christianity seriously. But if you must insist on ignoring the wise words of your bible, can you at least be accurate with your accusations and play fair? I have demonstrated mistakes in what you said and it's also clear that you accuse them of things that your own faith also does. I think that it's rather a case of the pot calling the kettle black in that respect.
EyesofGehenna well done. I made a big no no by rationalizing with him and the simple rule that I selfishly and stupidly overlooked; when your child is telling you a big lie and they're angery usually at themseves. Through the arguement he became a Phd in Psychology an english Proffesor any pro that suited his needs while I was told I was an immature out of my league mentally slow then bamb! All of a sudden I realized it was 25 yrs ago and I just caught one of our 5 children sneaking cookies from the cookie jar and with a mouth full spitting crumbs while telling more BS I giggled and said "make sure ya keep your hands behind your back when ya run in your room and finish those! Dinners in an hour see ya then and after we'll count the cookies and divide em up" sure enough eyes swell up, tears drop, "dad I took some cookies"! Put em back and hurry and swallow what ya ate and just you and me know, "This time"! Those were great yrs! 25 yrs later great adults! Always my boys and girls. The difference; they own responsibility instead of blaming any and everybody else. Maybe someday Bryon you'll know that freedom
EyesOfGehenna Now this is a more accurate statement. As a disciple of Jesus Christ I applaud you on being honest and apologize for any of my fellow members who would have any ill feelings in any way. I wish you the greatest happiness in pursuing whatever you find meaningful.
Yes He is!! Which is why the Mormon conception of Jesus and exaltation, and Him growing and becoming more perfect doesn't line up with true theology. Neither God the Father nor Jesus are growing toward perfection. They are and have been perfect from eternity.
Well, not exactly. Matthew 5:48 King James Version (KJV) 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Jesus does not here claim to be perfect. But on the cross, he declared, "It is done". Later, after his death and resurrection, he says, King James Version "Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God." but later he has Thomas feel his wounds which presumably were maintained for this purpose. So, Jesus goes through a number of state changes.
Thomas, Jesus does not go through any changes. Jesus is God, the very eternal wisdom and power of God. Therefore, He has always been and always will be perfect. The Bible even says: "Which one of you can accuse me of sin." He was perfect. However, He emptied Himself of His glory and became a perfect human for our sake. However, He ascended back into heaven into his former divine glory. There were no state changes going on, and the Bible doesn't really subscribe to this.
What about Hispanics who are naturally blond?, dark skin and black skin are actually very different. There are many mormons who are dark skin despite their ethnic background.
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A lot of this video is not what we believe. Sadly many of our missionaries aren’t well versed enough in our doctrines to feel confident talking about most of these things. It’s a bad look. Any member who understands what we believe shouldn’t be afraid of talking about all of these things.
@@mikemh6831 He change God word he said gay people can go to heaven and you need the vaccine in order to reach heaven and he also said that Mary is the connection between us and Father not Jesus
Yep. That's what my Mormon sister told me. They have to tell you in dribbles because it would be too difficult for mere mortals to absorb this all at once.
It also serves the purpose that a person is enmeshed and aligned to the institute before they are given all the information they should have been given from the beginning to make an informed, rational choice about whether they want to be a part of it.
That's why Jesus spoke in parables. But he told the truth and didn't withhold the truth or put on a facade or stephord smiler face and feign niceities just to get you to follow him.
Barbara we are taught line upon line, precept on precept, that is how he guides us that is how he teaches his children. How would want to be taught?? Line upon line or have dumped on you all at once??
In my life, I'm 47 yo, I met just one north American that could speak my language, Italian.🇮🇹 An American🇺🇸 woman, a missionary from the Mormon temple of Rome. I sincerely don't care about their doctrines, but she was very nice, humble, talkative and friendly. She was not of Italian descent, probably Mormon missionaries study the language of other countries for their propaganda.
They only study less than half the language they only give the support only get the words they need to support their cult to get people to come to their satanic cult they're feeling it miserably and their terrmmmpills are being destroyed too.
I’m so glad you brought up the skin color curse. I grew up in rural Utah. I’m half black, half white, and not Mormon. Growing up in Utah for me, was hell. Also Utah Mormons are different than out of state Mormons. They are even more self righteous, judgmental, and all of the other fun traits. I know all of this information and plenty more that you didn’t speak about. I felt that I knew more about their religion than they did. Thank you for putting out this truthful information about Mormons.
I've heard there at clusters of Utah Mormon who aren't especially very tolerant. I'm not exactly sure what might be the cause but it might not be something they're responsible for. People are sometimes given bad information. Maybe that's why.
People who are not LDS and attack us always THINK they know more about what we believe, practice and live when actually they know very little. You are one of those people. From your statements, your ignorance is quite obvious. The guy in the black shirt is floating in the same boat as you. Except he spends all of his time attacking The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and little else. I think he needs to get a life and do something positive and helpful to make our world a little better. Not pooping on it.
@@annettedeem5252 I don’t know it all, but I did live there for like 20yrs. My mom’s side is all Mormon and my mom use to be. I have also read portions of the BofM and their other doctrines. I’ve also looked through the Mormon version of the Bible. Which is altered compared to the “normal” Christian bible. Passages changed, Song of Songs is considered not inspired scripture. A lot of my friends were individuals who left the church, so we would fill in the missing places that each other had. You do realize that the Mormon religion changes it’s stances and contradicts it’s own doctrine more than any other Christian faith that I know of. Actually Mormon or the LDS use to hate being associated as Christian. Until everyone called them a cult. Then it changes to “no we are Christian”. Joseph Smith was not a prophet, he was a con artist. Does the Book of Abraham mean anything to you? The early Mormons also started a war for independence against the U.S. government. Wanting to form the land of Deseret. Look if you want to be Mormon, and it makes you happy, then do it. But know your history. I also love when ppl tell others that things that they have personally experienced. Didn’t happen and they are oblivious, nice.
@catholictruth The Church of Jesus Christ of later day saints changes so often because as the times change we need to change too otherwise we lose our faith and you cannot have a church that functions the same way for thousands of years without changing. And when you say that you are getting the facts from members and what the church teaches then why is it that what you say is so far off from what I have been taught growing up in the church? Do you get statements from people who have turned away from the church and no longer have faith and want the church to die off or do you get your facts from good strong and faithful members who know the truth of the the church of Jesus Christ of later day saints. Try looking beyond what others may view and start truly looking at what is taught and what our modern day prophet and apostles are trying to tell and teach us because what they say can benefit everyone not just members of the church.

@@DaveTalkin well according to the scriptures Jesus himself established a church. Matthew 16 18 Matthew 18 15 Luke 10 16 John 20 21 St. Paul even reaffirms that the church is the pillar and foundation of truth. Because Saul was persecuting the church in the acts of the apostles when our blessed lord appeared to him.
@@versatilelord8893 im glad you brought up Paul. Catholics teach that the way to salvation is through personal righteousness, not by faith alone. Which is unbiblical and the exact OPPOSITE of what Paul teaches in ephesians. You can't just make up things to fit your narrative and call yourself a Christian. Catholics do this continuously and I didnt even mention the idolatry.
Hey! I am a Mormon. What this man is saying is kind of true, but its totally wrong. For example, we do not baptize dead people. What we do is we find family members or members families and we take upon the baptism for them. We DONT BAPTIZE DEAD PEOPLE. We do not believe in multiple gods. We believe in our Heavenly Father, and Jesus and the Holy Ghost just work together to serve the same purpose: to help guide us in the plan of salvation. We dont know how god was related, so i dont know where he is getting that god was created by another one. Ive always wondered that. Satan did not rebel, but he wanted to force everyone to choose the right, but we are giving free agency, the ability to choose. We DO NOT believe that Cain participated in the rebellion, because there is no way he old have gained a body. It is not black skin he was cursed with. He had a black mark on his forehead and he was the only one that was cursed. I’m frickin brown, so, guess im a devil spawn. We do not believe in POLYGAMY AND WE DID NOT HAVE TO PRATICE THAT. He is talking about B.C and this is bull rap, and he is stating all these things that are not true. We do also believe in the Bible, and we also read it! We believe that we should not really consume coffee or tea because its not your body naturally creating energy. But, you still can! We just dont recommend that, I have so many family members that do though. I LOVE SODA SO IDK WHAT HES TALKING ABOUT.
So I’m an atheist and I always find it interesting when one religious person turns the microscope on another religion and sounds incredulous at some of their beliefs. This guy is spot on with his analysis of Mormons believing some outlandish things. But, um, so do Catholics and Christians in general...
We are discussing within the realm of religion. There is a reason Christians don't accept Mormons as Christians (whereas most accept Catholics as Christians) because Mormon beliefs are so far out there, more than most religions. There is a reason archeology has found many many things within the Bible but cannot find anything to verify the Book of Mormon. And to be fair, atheists believe some outlandish things too. We all came about by nothing, from nothing, because of nothing, it just happened. Nothing made nothing, and even though only nothing existed, nothing somehow made something, and even though that something is dead, that dead stuff somehow made everything. ... Or worse, it was all just there for eternity. No explanation.
Catholic Bryan I don’t know any atheists that would say that’s what they believe. Most would say first and foremost that they don’t know how everything started. But modern science currently points to a universe that began close to 14 billion years ago.
@@rkane19 I know countless atheists who postulate this. So I would agree with you that many admit that they don't know. To which I respond, "If you don't know, then how do you know it's not God?" But in reality, it's hypocritical for them to demand that Christians have all the answers,when they themselves admit that they don't have any. Yes, I understand the big bang and how the universe came to be. And that a Catholic priest was the one who discovered and outlined that theory. Where did the Big Bang come from? Where did all the time, space, matter, and energy come from that created our universe?
Catholic Bryan I don’t “know” it’s not God. That’s kind of my point. At this time I don’t see any actual evidence that a god exists though. I don’t expect you to have all the answers and I don’t know what happened before the Big Bang (thanks to Lemaitre for that) but, and maybe I’m assuming this, you, other Catholics and religious individuals do claim to have insight into this.
@Mr X 100% of what you just said is off in one way or another. We do not worship Mary, we venerate her. We do not pray to statues, we pray to the people those statues represent. There is a lot to go into on the claim that the Catholic Church is pedophilic but to begin with, lets just say a lot of the "information" on the sex scandal is false. And the Catholic Church is too big to be a cult.
Jared Kauffman : Paul in the new Testament defined who is the Holy Spirit. He said that the Holy Spirit is the one who know the things of the CELESTIAL FATHER because live inside the FATHER. So because the FATHER is OMNIPOTENT and GLORIFY then HE can send His Spirit to enter into the LORD JESUS when he was Baptized the Spirit of the FATHER come and enters in JESUS as a dove. So is the FATHER and SON.
@@napolionbonaparte6804 the Bible does not say that the Holy Spirit lives in the Father. It said He it is the Spirit of the Father, not that he lives inside of Him. That is one of the big problems with Mormonism if they have a false conception of who God is.
I was born in the Mormon faith, Salt Lake City,1950, baptized in 1958. I left the church in 1965 because their beliefs did not make sense to me. Most of my relatives are still staunch Mormon or shall I say brainwashed?
The part about becoming a god they claim they don't believe and never did. My wife and I were both raised in the LDS church and grew up hearing this for literal years. We've since left the church and now they're all saying they never believed it.
Obiron... We are literal spirit children of a loving, kind, merciful Father in heaven. Because we are literal spirit children of God, why would we not be able to become as he is?? To be as he is we have to be as he is. And it is through our Savior Jesus Christ that we get to him. There's no other way. As far as the having your own planet. I haven't heard it in years and years and years. I'm 60...its a lot of years since I last heard it. It was like when I was oh 12 or 13 and every body was saying it was against our religion to drink coke.... it went as fast as it came. I don't want a planet. My only desire is to return to my Father in heaven and my Savior and live with them and my family forever. Nothing more, nothing less. 😊😊
So many Mormons say so many different things it's hard to even figure out what they believe. Even the Mormon hierarchy itself continually changes its story on what they believe and don't believe.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial You think we're confusing??? The first time I looked at a Catholic Bible it sent me into dizzying confusion making me wish I had taken something for nausea before I looked at it. It made no sense to me at all. It was my dear friends Bible. She was Roman Catholic. She just laughed at me. I baby sat for my Catholic neighbors who lived one street up from me. They had all their two daughters communion things and rosary beads, pictures, christening gowns and everything else all beautifully displayed in a beautiful display case. I felt that dizzying feeling again as I stood there scratching my head and thinking... Huh???? We're confusing??? Right back at ya!!! 🤣🤣🤣

@@daveyjones9930 I never said I hated their religion, I respect their and I honestly think that they should have the privilege of getting to worship their own churches.
@@daveyjones9930 Davey, you understand the irony in your statement, right? By accusing him of being part of the "wrong" church you are doing the very same thing you are accusing him of (which is a strawman fallacy by the way).
Davey Jones It’s not what you read that matters but how you read it. My best friend was a lifelong atheist who gained a testimony of the Book of Mormon and the church before he even touched it. He completely changed his life, abandoned his whole lifestyle and was rejected by his partner and family as a result yet continues to press forward. The doctrine of the church is true because it works. It produces a people with the highest sense of well being and happiness which is the principle purpose of life and the promise you are given if you live the principles. This is scientifically proven as well in massive studies that have taken place at UPenn and elsewhere that I read and converted me and other atheists to that way of life. Any denial of that truth is petty cognitive dissonance for the fruit is good and the rest is clearly rotted.
Actually, I think what you might be referring to is, that someone Catholic (I forget who) said to someone Mormon "There are only two churches that could be the true Church of Christ; either the LDS church, or the Roman Catholic church".
OK, I'm an older Mormon/LDS. It is my desire to understand and try to follow what the Lord wishes me to do. With that said, here's the real deal with caffeine. Many LDS think that since coffee and tea are currently "forbidden", it must be because of caffeine. Dumb, easy, incorrect reason. Maté which is drunk in South America has more caffeine and is not counseled against because of the caffeine. It's because everyone sucks on the same drinking gourd. The original statemen in the "word of wisdom" was about "hot drinks". Drinks that burn the mouth are known to cause problems. Early Mormon pioneers drank coffee and tea made with buffalo's left over water, while on their wagon trips to Utah. Boil the water, kill typhoid, dysentery, etc, add tea or coffee, let it cool then drink it. The counsel says it is "for the weakest of the saints or those or those who would be called saints." That would be youngsters and those thinking about joining the church. Christ is saying, "Here is something tangible you can do. Here is an easy way to begin to know me. Also you can read the Book of Mormon. You do your part, I will do mine. Follow me, I will help you". Most if not all who are thinking of joining the church will probably be using coffee, tea, alcohol or tobacco, the things specified in the "word of wisdom. They are things specified by the Lord so that He can provide blessings to those who wish to begin a relationship with Him. It's not caffeine, it's "Hey, there, here is something you can do to follow me. Want a hug? Try it."

Ex member who’s wants nothing to do with church anymore and has sone tons of deep dives Into the church . Abs I almost found my self like defending the church 🤣after this video .
@@rosejladybugvideos I’m a devoted member too. None of these false accusations are true. I have a list of things Catholics don’t tell ppl or rather they deny it. Latter-day Saints never deny mistakes etc. Some things Catholics don’t tell you: Praying to Virgin Mary is not right Intercession of saints seem more important than Jesus They think Jesus is God and that he is some interchangeable being. Paganism corrupted the Catholic Church a long time ago and isn’t the original church Christ put on this earth. The Catholics have been known for burning many innocent ppl for standing against the oppression and even the corruption of pedophilia towards children and even homosexuality. Being homosexual or anything along that is a serious sin. Thou shalt not commit adultery! His Commandments still ring true to this day. The trinity is the center of their beliefs even tho it’s not three in one. Lastly, the pope declared sexual sin isn’t serious. Well let me tell you this, I will never leave the true church restored upon this earth. Joseph Smith was a true prophet. The Book of Mormon is true. Just as the bible is. Catholics seem to deny verses in the bible and cherry pick parts to bible bash Latter-day Saints. The trinity is false man made doctrine because Constantine and the Nicene councils made it up. Peter never went to Rome when he was alive but his corpse was moved to Rome and he was turned into some saint. Jesus is the Son of God and isn’t a baby. Mary is the mother of Christ not the mother of God. I have spoken the truth of Christ. Matthew 7:13-14 speaks of how few find and enter the narrow gate that has truth and life within it. Many walk through the wider gate that unfortunately leads towards lies, deception, destruction etc. Most denominations will accuse Latter-day Saints of not being Christian. Yet did Jesus teach you to falsely accuse a fellow believer? No. So I will say, we Latter-day Saints are the few who choose the narrow path towards life and truth. We solely believe in the original teachings of Jesus Christ. I have spoken absolute objective truth. Opposition’s opinions are subjective and will be debunked without hesitation. The Catholics have admitted somehow they’re Baal worshipers aka sun worshipers aka Nimrod and his mother being the center of attention. Jesus isn’t the Sun deity and Nimrod’s wife apparently became the “mother of god” to turn nimrod into her son. It’s twisted but true. For Jesus foretold that there would be false Christs who twist and pervert the gospel. I testify it has come true. Nimrod is not Jesus but many don’t realize they’re worshiping the sun god “sola invictus” aka nimrod in the Roman dialect.
And God isn’t the God of confusion. The adversary aka the devil is the father of all lies. He is causing so much confusion within many church communities who decide to bash on “Mormons”. Proper term is Latter-day Saints. I’ve done my research and I will not hesitate to share these truths with the ppl who want to know more about us.
I had a friend who was ready to convert and in the last interview they asked if she had ever had an abortion. In medical terms a miscarriage is called a spontaneous abortion. She had a miscarriage [spontaneous abortion] and replied she had a spontaneous abortion in her late teens. They refused her baptism. When it became clear after weeks later it was what lay people called a miscarriage then everyone was oh so sorry and let's go ahead. My friend said her God was a forgiving God not a vengeful God.
@@lindalds when you are suddenly asked if you had ever been pregnant and not given birth, at a time when you were expecting to be completing everything prior to baptism and it is only then the subject of any pregnancy issues come up imagine the confusion of being faced with a less than accepting and suddenly cold reception into what had previously been the type of welcoming atmosphere she had experienced. It actually made her speechless and then her mind told her take a breath and pray about this some more. Perhaps if it were known women are given the roasting over the coals during the last visitation before baptism .... and if it was known women are not allowed to join if they had an abortion. I did not know that until I was listening to her talk of her experience.
@@maryblack5246 Women have been able to join who have had an abortion. However, some people just don't know what a spontaneous abortion is, and all they hear is "abortion". She should have just said, no, but I've had a miscarriage.
Well look who likes to call names and try to subjugate women who do not and will not submit to the big mean name-calling man - to start calling people a liar and then a nazi...how proud your parents must be of your eloquence.
I'm a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I would never tell anyone that we are the same as the Catholics. I also want to go over the 10 things brought up by this guy in the video so you will get a perspective from a "Mormon" about what we believe about these topics: 1. Are there millions of Gods? First off we do believe as Paul taught in 1 Corinthians 8:4-6 that there are gods many and lords many but to us there is but one God the Father and one Lord Jesus Christ whom we worship. Why would Paul say this? Because this is what the Lord also taught in Psalms 82:6. He taught that we are all gods. Some deny this and try to say that this verse means "judges" but Jesus reiterated this in John 10:31-36 when he taught that, "I said, ye are gods". You can't replace "gods" with "judges" in John 10 and make it work. And it was Jesus quoting Psalms 82:6 in John 10:34. So if Jesus believe we were all gods, then how many have people have lived on the earth? I would say at least millions. He mocks us when we say that the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are 3 separate and distinct Gods yet they all represent the one true God. What I can never believe that the Catholic Church teaches is that the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are the same being. Where does it ever teach that in the Bible? The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are 3 separate and distinct persons and beings and each of these Gods represent the one true God who is the Father. They all 3 are united in purpose, doctrine, and glory. They all represent a single idea of God and thus they are all a representation of the one true God. Even Jesus taught that we too can become one even and the Father and Jesus are one. This also does not mean that we become the same being but that we too become united in purpose, doctrine and glory. John 17:20-23 20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be cone in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. 2. Did God become a man like us? It is obvious that Jesus was God before the foundation of this earth. A simple reading of John 1:1-3, 14 tells us that Jesus is the Word of God and that he was with God the Father in the beginning and he also was God (part of the godhead). It was through him that the Father created all things. Anyone who reads or understands the Bible knows that God the Son became flesh and dwelt among us. Yes. Jesus became a man. He was perfect but still a man. In Genesis 1:26 it tells us that God said, "Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness" Who do you think these who are God are who spoke this? What it not God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ? Yes!! And the made mankind in their very image and likeness. God the Father is in the image of man and so is Jesus. They are mankind. In Paul's epistle to the Hebrews 1:3 he taught that the resurrected Jesus with his body of flesh and bones (Luke 24) was the very express image of the person of the Father. The truth is that man and woman became a man and woman just like God. They were both created in his image and likeness. 3. Can man become a God? Would Jesus give us a commandment if we could never fulfill his commandment? In Matthew 5:48 has Jesus command us to be perfect even as our Father in Heaven is perfect. Can we be exactly perfect as our Father in Heaven and not be what he is? In John 17:20-23 above we understand that we can become one with the Father and Jesus even as they are one and receive the same glory. It states that we may be made perfect in one with the Father and Son. Can we truly do this without become just like them? We read in Psalms 82:1 that God judges among the congregation of the gods. Yes, we do believe that the purpose of God is that we become like him and actually become one of the many gods that Paul refers to in 1 Corinthians 8:4-6. If man can become a God then why is it strange to believe that God himself became what he is? If Jesus does nothing but what he has seen the Father do(John 5:19-20), then why is it so hard to believe that maybe the Father was once a Christ on his own world. Did Jesus see the Father suffer for the sins of the world? If God has his own universe and if we are become what he is, is it so hard to believe that we could one day have our own universe and kingdom? Man cannot become a God without the woman the same as a woman cannot become a God without the man. Paul the Apostle taught the neither is the man without woman nor the woman without the man in the Lord. (1 Corinthians 11:11). In Genesis we also read that when the man and woman marry that they are to become one flesh (Genesis 2:24). Also in the the New Testament we are taught that through the priesthood that whatsoever a man seal or binds on earth can be bound in heaven. (Matthew 18:18). We exercise that right and seal a man and woman on earth to be eternally married in the heavens. We believe that man and woman are to be sealed in marriage for not only time but also for eternity and family members can also be bound together in eternity as a family. Yes we believe that just as Jesus is the express image of the Father we believe the Father also has a resurrected immortal body the same as Jesus. We believe that he has been sealed to an eternal wife which is our Mother in Heaven who gave birth to our spirits before we came to this earth. This we believe is the eternal purpose of man and woman. I will comment on the other 7 later.
Thank you for this they been talking to me for some time and I asked God was this the right move I thank God for answering my prayer now I see time for me to turn away from this and continue to follow the right way✝️🙌❤️🙏🏾

Growing up and living in Utah my entire life, I've never understood the coffee thing. Some will say it is because of the caffeine but I can guarantee that the VAST majority of Utah Mormons are HUGE Coke heads. Like coca-cola. They drink so much caffeinated soda. Just a baffling contradiction among LDS "doctrine"
BYU honor code talked about no caffeine drinks. Really has nothing to do with LDS. They have no hot drinks in word of wisdom. Emma tried to poison Joseph twice buy putting stuff in his coffee. No wonder they did away with it
It’s the addiction part. And members of the church should not be drinking Coke if they have a serious addiction that can affect their health. again we will not excommunicate and member who does drink coffee
@@daveyjones9930 Not for drinking coffee. It’s the act of addiction we worry about. Also the temple recommends are not revoked for that, but things like drug addiction and crimes does get it revoked. For addictions you can get it back when you get some help
He was close to right on a lot of it but with just about every one of these, he got some internal part wrong or attributes a incorrect motive or idea to each.
Your enthusiasm is infectious. I'd like to make a sizable donation to your ministry. Just one question: What means "Thou shalt have no other gods before me?"
You can't know any truth from any scripture until you've acted it out. When Christ says follow me, I beleive he means to where He is. We are here to prove that we can be a light in the darkness, like Him. I dont care what religion you are in, do you act like Him...?
@@annettedeem5252 acting out a life filled with Christ like attributes. Acting out God's will and not your own. Listening to God's promptings to have experiences serving and teaching others. If you want to know a principal from the scriptures is true, ask God to give you an experience concerning that thing so you have an understanding. For example... If you want to understand the blessings that can come from paying tithing, you would pay tithing having faith you will experience that blessing. The testimony of that experience is oil in your lamp.
Funniest part is that Bible wasn't fully put together until 351 AD. Jesus even said to hold to his teachings whether by word or mouth. So for a while the word of God was spread by word of mouth and Jesus' traditions. Then after 1500 years some random smart men decided to start their own religion and call themselves "christians." From this we got them crazy Mormons 😂
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Jesus started the christian church and soon after the church was split into orthodox and catholic. You can’t claim you’re christ’s church if any other religion can’t.
I would tell people these 10 things, but correctly. You told quite a few untruths along with what you mentioned. Please get your information correct before making such a video.
I did my best to make sure that it was accurate, and most of it was accurate, as admitted by many Mormons and ex-Mormons. I put quotes in the description section above if you are interested.
It was mostly accurate as many Mormons and ex-Mormons have admitted. It's also why i backed it all up with quotes in the description section above and more in the comments section below. You have made countless erroneous anti-Catholic statements, including your indulgences statement above (and you have not the slightest idea of what an indulgence is). Further, you have never backed any of assertions up. At least I verified mine with many quotes. You have yet to do that.
Honestly I’ve heard the blacks are cursed by Kane comments before so even if all the other stuff is not true, that makes lds ppl look extremely unevolved and retarded
I'm an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. While I don't speak for the church, upon watching this video, I felt there were a number of points that were either very misleading or just incorrect, and I would like to attempt to set the record straight for anyone who is interested. I'm really not interested in engaging in a debate on this, so please do not expect me to respond to comments. There are millions of gods: FALSE While it is true that the LDS belief in the godhead is that they are three distinct beings, there is no doctrine of the church that claims there are millions of gods beyond the godhead. While personal opinions among members of the church may vary, this is not something that I personally believe and should not be attributed to a position of the church. God was once a man like us: FALSE I suspect this is attributed to the quote by Lorenzo Snow, "As man is, God once was; As God now is, man may become." To clarify, the church teaches eternal progression including a progression of glory; something we all engage in as we evolve mentally and spiritually. This does not mean that God was ever mortal, a sinner, or that His terms of progression look anything like ours. It also doesn't mean we ever become equal to God. God didn't create the universe: FALSE Again, I believe this idea comes from an evolution of the above misunderstanding, but this is unequivocally false. The church teaches that God created the universe, and the laws therein which dictate the means by which one can receive salvation. Additionally, there is no doctrine of the church that teaches that "God worshiped another God" or anything comparable to this, and it is not something I personally believe. We can become like God: TRUE The entire principle behind eternal progression is to become like God; to inherit all the He has. To reiterate, this does not mean that we ever supersede or become equal to God, or that we ever stop worshiping Him. In much the same way that we are spirits and posses a physical body, likewise the church teaches that God is also a spirit and possesses a physical body, and we are created in His image. We receive a planet as a reward for salvation: FALSE I've heard this before and I don't understand the origin of it - I suspect it is a deviation of the teaching that we can become like God and thereby populate worlds. However, the specifics of what that looks like, or the terms with which it is engaged is not taught by the church. Personally, I think if becoming like God includes the power to create universes, why would I be concerned with inheriting a planet here? Women are not ostracized of the same blessings as men. Preexistence (Spirit Realm) / Satan rebellion against God: TRUE While I'm not a huge fan of the flippant way in which this information is delivered, this is basically accurate. Curse of Cain: MOSTLY FALSE While it is true that God has occasionally marked people as a means to distinguish them from his people, the first issue I have here is that implication that those descendants who are "not white" are cursed as a teaching of the church, which is not accurate. The method of marking has varied, but has at times included skin color, which is passed on genetically. This should NOT be attributed to mean that those of any race are any less children of God, less valuable, or less worthy of salvation, as stated in 2nd Nephi 26:33, "... and he inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female..." Cain committed the first murder and was rebuked for it. The church does not teach that he conspired with Satan when he rebelled against God (or else he would have been cast out with those who followed Satan). The idea that those born with dark skin were followers of Satan and/or aided in the Satan's rebellion against God is blatantly false. The church teaches that those who followed Satan were indeed sent to earth, but they are bodiless spirits - they were NOT born with bodies like you and I. Polygamy was an eternal doctrine one must practice to get into heaven: FALSE While it is true that the church practiced polygamy (as has also been practiced in the history of Christianity), the idea that one must practice it as a means to get to heaven is false, and sounds more like an FLDS teaching. When it was practiced in the church, it was a calling, and certainly not something one could aspire to, or choose to practice because they felt like it. There is no doctrine of salvation specifically surrounding polygamy. While I believe that Christ was likely married (Jewish tradition at the time also seems to support that), I don't know of any church doctrine that claims He was a polygamist, and that's not something I personally believe. Various sects / turmoil within "Mormonism": MISLEADING It is true that there are a number of offshoots of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I don't know exactly how many, but most all of them are very insignificant. I'm familiar with the FLDS, but their current teachings have little resemblance to that of the church. "Mormons" you see today are almost exclusively members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Three different heavens: TRUE Not much to say about this - the description given is basically accurate. No Caffeine: FALSE The "Word of Wisdom" is the law being referenced here, which dictates certain substances from which members should abstain. This includes substances such as alcohol, tobacco, green tea and coffee. Many have speculated that the reason green tea and coffee are included is because of their caffeine content. While I won't argue that caffeine isn't particularly healthy, there's no doctrine of the church that specifically prohibits caffeine, and many members do drink soft drinks such as Coke. As an addendum, with regards to the missionary story and the coffee maker, I don't know any member of the church that would support breaking into someone's home and removing a coffee maker (or any property, for that matter), nor is that anything that would ever be condoned by the church. Baptism for the Dead: MOSTLY TRUE A few points of clarification: Baptisms for the dead are conducted by proxy (we don't actually baptize dead bodies). As many have come and died without having had the opportunity to accept baptism, the purpose is to give them that opportunity. This does not mean, nor does the church teach, that these people have accepted the church or its teachings. John the Apostle living today: TRUE This actually comes from the Bible, NKJV - John 21: 20-23. I wouldn't say that this is a critical point of doctrine within the church. John's whereabouts are unknown.
Matthew 6:24, 24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and Mammon.
@@iankammerman1998 that doesn't make any sense. So thats like saying you can't have more then 1 job or 1 boss. There are good righteous Christians the will still do some sinister things sometimes.
I think Mormonism shines a very noticeable light on all other religions. People like to act like Mormons are “way out there” but truth be told, if you break down any religious theology, they all sound about as logical to one another.
its interesting how you have several instances of what the church actually teaches, paraphrased...with some added tabloid gossip sprinkled in lol. As a former member...you are off the mark on most of this mate lol
That's funny, because most former members on these comments at I got it almost all correct with a few misunderstandings. Second of all, I quoted extensively in the comment section above from the LDS website and from there prophets and leaders.
I grew up Mormon. I went to church every week growing up, as well as seminary class in my teens, and some institute classes during college. Mormons call the Trinity the Godhead to emphasize that it's made up of three separate beings. I don't think that's strange at all. Actually, I think it's really weird that some religions think they're the same person. They're only one in PURPOSE. How could Christ pray to God when he was on earth if they were the same person? "Father, remove this bitter cup from me..." I never heard of millions of Gods currently existing, only that we can become gods ourselves, which is a potential for millions or more gods in the future, which is part of God's plan. I see nothing strange about this. I was only told that God became perfect and that's why he understands my trials, nothing about him worshipping other Gods. Actually, I always thought that I as a god, might inhabit my own universe, not just a planet. I don't think that's weird either since I'm a son of God and am born to have his potential. I was never told anything about dark skin and blacks. Never heard it. I've never been taught that I'll be REQUIRED to have multiple wives. If he wants to highlight schisms as an example to doubt a church's validity, he should use Catholicism and Protestantism as an example instead of Mormonism and breakaway cults. Celestial, Terrestrial and Telestial are different kingdoms in heaven, not separate heavens themselves. Those rewards are assigned according to our works in this life. This is not strange. Strong drink is forbidden in the LDS church as the result of a revelation to the prophet. I have no problem with a prophet receiving revelation as in days of old, because.... they're prophets. Mormons perform baptisms for the dead to give them the opportunity to accept or reject it on the either side. It's not a done deal, just an opportunity for them. I've never heard anything about about John walking the earth. By the way, I think it's really weird and blasphemous that Catholics pray to Mary as well as create idols of her.
We are only asking for Mother Mary's intercession. That why we say "Pray for us" to her and "Have mercy on us" to Jesus.😊 The statues are only a reminder of our Mother, the mother of Jesus, because we are humans, we depend on our senses, and it is with these statues that we are reminded of the saints in heaven. Why don't you call out the government for the statues of national heroes? The images of a person in your coins and bills? Why don't you call out artists for making portraits of people? Why don't you burn or hide the pictures in your wall? Idols. You mean like those countless gods of Hindus? Worshipping the statues of gods of many titles. Offering them their clothes, foods, possessions? Mother Mary loves you. Jesus loves you. All praise and glory be to God.🙏
@@ite_ad_iosep this is ridiculous it does not matter what church you go to as long as you have faith and love god and know that god is our father. There should be no reason people argue over which church is true or not. I am a Mormon and some people go to church because they feel like they need to be there every Sunday but forget the real reason we are supposed to be there I mean people who don’t go to church every Sunday can have more faith in Jesus Christ then members or the church.
They do not call the Holy Trinity the Godhead as they do not believe in the Holy Trinity. We call the Holy Trinity the triune Godhead. 3 Persons, one God. You are making the mistake Mormons do in saying we believe in Modalism. No, we don't. Mormons make idols out of Joseph Smith and subsequent "Prophets". They even had a walking stick of his that they reverenced. I absolutely do not want myself to be mentioned in their temples for "baptism". I don't care their explanations. No means no. It will be in my Will.
Latter-day Saint here. I can't cover all the points, but here is one: Actually, I think the reason we don't talk about some of those things is because we don't understand them fully ourselves. The important thing is the gospel of Jesus Christ, and that is what we want to convert people to. The deeper things, you can ponder later. I'll give you one example from the Bible: Revelation 3:21 "To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne." What does this mean? It sounds like we will all gain the same throne as Jesus Christ, through his atonement. Why don't Christians teach that one to new converts? It is probably because they barely understand it themselves. Yes, we do have scriptures about becoming like God (exaltation). But there is no detail about what this means, other than that it involves "the continuation of the seeds forever and ever" (having spirit children in the same way that God does, with references to the Abrahamic Covenant and God's promise to Abraham that his seed would be as numerous as the sands of the seashore. We get the same promise in the temple) and "overcoming all things" and general words like "thrones, principalities, powers, dominions" etc. I've never heard once in Church (or the temple) that there are "millions of Gods." This is an extrapolation of some of our scriptures, so it could be true in an obscure sense (although in any case there is only one God relevant to us and our universe). So it becomes a bit of a game of semantics.Respect for Catholics though! Keep up the faith.
I was raised Catholic, and have alway been intensely interested in religious beliefs. I don’t really see any of the Mormon revelation as being any more strange than the stories in the Bible that Christians believe about Jesus and other characters.
You don't think that we can all become God's and on our own planets is strange? That is way out there. Which is why no Christian history actually is believed that. And that is just one example.
Hocus Smokus maybe, but I don’t think the holy spirit is the issue... I am filled every day with an absolute peace and knowing that God has me and every other creature, and object, and empty space in his hands, at all times. It is religion that I take issue with. It is when humans organize around the idea of the divine, and their own ego’s and inadequate minds try to explain and rationalize God, that things get messed up. Every religion I have ever lived, or explored (for me) has fallen short of the amazing awesome wonder of the divine and the infinite love available to all of creation. It is religion I am critical of, and skeptical of, not the Holy Spirit.
I grew up LDS...I'm not anymore....but I just wanted to say, I was never taught, or taught to say, that LDS and Catholic beliefs were basically the same. But I do want to add...as someone who learned how to deconstruct their faith...its funny to watch people like the fellow in this video wonder about "the odd and weird" beliefs of others, then go on to express their belief in prayer, miracles, virgin births, and all the rest of those weird and odd beliefs. Every religion is "weird" to someone. Even yours.
@@LadyMaria If you're raised in religion and told a God is necessary for us to exist and that people who don't believe are decieved, yeah, I guess it is. If you're raised in atheism and taught that nature is the architect and that no supreme being is watching, keeping records, and is going to judge you after you're dead...religion is weird. Depends what you're taught. Its culture, its not a "chosen" situation.
@@michaelfisher7170 People choose their path either way. That's reality. My only point was you pointing fingers at religion when atheism is just as weird. That's all.
@@LadyMaria Pointing fingers? Why shouldn't fingers be pointed? When you have a cadre of very, VERY powerful authorities in Salt Lake City who control what you wear, what you watch, what you read, what you can decorate your body with, and who would (if they thought they could get away with it) have a corral of teenaged wives to whom they were "entitled" by Joseph Smith's and Brigham Young's statements about the "necessity of polygamy as the final and great revelation", that cadre of very very powerful authorities SHOULD be questioned and challenged, particularly in their ridiculous claim that their authority stems from a direct phone line to God. No...don't tell ME that MY daughters need to bow to such disgusting commandments and the men proclaiming them. Not going to happen and, no atheist is calling on this kind of repulsive behavior. Not one.
@@michaelfisher7170 The Bolsheviks of Russia were atheist and look where that went. Not well. They controlled much more than clothing or TV. I'm not Mormon so you really can't take your anger out on me. 🤷♀️ I'm only leveling the field. Have a good night.
One of the things that makes a cult a cult is believing/teaching that Jesus sacrifice wasn't sufficient and you need some sort of additional help to be saved, like the Catholic church teaches that we need Mary.
Ex Mormon here, wanted to chime in. 1. In my experience at least, Mormons are open about the divinity being different beings. I have never met another Mormon who considers all three to be gods. 2. You may be right about them believing in multiple gods? To be honest I'm unsure. I've never heard that directly, only that our God will one day give us the chance to be like him if we do what we should. 3. Your third point ties in with what I said above. It's accurate but I've personally never heard someone say God went through a trial like us to potentially one day become God. 4. Your point about the devil being brothers and certain skin colors rebelling is accurate. 5. Your point about polygamy is true. 6. Your point about different heavens and coffee is true. However, most Mormons don't forbid caffeine. It's specifically coffee and green / black tea. Anything else is just not recommended. 7. We are obsessed with ancestry LOL 8. Your last point is accurate too. Overall I think you did a good job, there are multiple different sects so what I was taught may be different from what you were told.
Actually, normally I would say go straight to the source. But since the source won't tell you all of these things until after you join, I think people should have the information upfront so they can make a mature and informed decision. That's why the lot felt to me. If the Mormons were upfront and honest about who they thought God was, and their beliefs about God, then I would never have had to make this video.
UniWolf - Thank you for your comment. It's only sacred it's true. If it's not true, then it's blasphemy against the real God and the real Jesus Christ.
Hello Watson, Then please get rid of any pictures you have in your home or wallet. Get rid of any posters or statues of sports figures. Also, I am sure you are pro tearing down all the founding fathers statues around the US too? What about Mount Rushmore?
It's amazing how many people claim to be authorities on something that they really know nothing about.. The Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ. Anyone who seriously wants to draw closer to our Heavenly Father should study it along with the Bible.
The Book of Mormon is not another Gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus himself said there is no other gospel in the Bible. And any other gospel that contradicts the Bible is a false gospel in that person is accursed. Mormonism tries to bring a different gospel, and therefore its accursed. The person who made this video has read the book of Mormon, doctrines and Covenants, the great apostasy, the book of Abraham, the word of wisdom, and a lot more. So he knows what he's talking about. He also put many quotes in the description section of this video.
i know something about mormonism, i was raised mormon. and i'm here to say mormonism is a cult. your "testimony" of the book of mormon is a lie. you're lying to all non mormons, and you may very well be lying to yourself. lies come as natural as a babies smile to mormons. the big lie you're trying to advance is that mormons believe in the book of mormon and that tmormonism advances biblical christianity. let's put truth to the lie. what you really believe is that there is more than one god and you can become a god too. does the book of mormon teach polytheism? no. name one verse in the whole b/m that teaches polytheism. so, putting truth to the lie, what is the big advantage you seek with the b/m. it's very simple. once you get people out of the bible, they're susceptible to any blasphemy the mormon church wants to present. when exactly do you think the general populous will be ready for the "meat"? i may be of assistance on that matter right here and now. embarrassing mormoisms: adam is our god the only god we have to do with god and mary had sex and that's how jesus came to be the blood of righteous jesus does not cover all sins. there are sins a man must atone for with his own blood there's no heaven and no hell. no hell, no need for a saviour to save from hell. there's 3 degrees of glory. you save yourself in a degree of glory according to your works. if you keep all the commandments you become a god in the highest degree of glory. polygamy is absolutely necessary to be a god. all gods have lots of wives that they copulate with to make spirit babies and populate other worlds with.
I believe although there are many different regions, we should all respect other for what we believe or what we are. I am a Mormon and I believe that respecting others religions are IMPORTANT. I respect Catholic people , if us Mormons respect you, and other. Show the same kind of respect back. Some Mormons may do that, but It doesn't mean disrespect them because their different.
I agree, respect is very important. We might not agree on everything, or even on very little, but we can still dialogue about the truth in a respectful way as Christ would want. God bless you.
I do not respect what other's believe, but I can be kind to people of other religions. Just because we don't agree does not mean we cannot be kind or civil. It does say that we cannot be friends or hang out or eat together unless we are witnessing to you. My discussions with Catholics usually end with me quoting verses to prove my point and them quoting the interpretation(s) of the church which never have anything to do with the very simple topics at hand. It's like we both say we follow the teachings in the bible, but we are speaking a different language. These are English-speaking people with an Bible written in the English language.
@@jamesmorgan2064 Do you believe Jesus is the Christ and the Lord of the whole world? Do you know that there were other people on earth in biblical times in different parts of the world? If you believe Jesus is the Lord of the whole world then you would believe that Jesus would make himself known to the whole world. After Jesus was resurrected he came to his disciples. If he can do this then he can appear to anyone else in different parts of the world. I really think it is nieve to think that Jesus would not make himself known to all of the people. Also, I think no one has the right or permission to say where Jesus can go and where he can't.
I've been a Mormon in Ireland for 40years, served a mission and open minded. I've looked into the arguments and always look for rebuttal to every accusation. This seems sensible to me. Videos by professor Dan Peterson,Fair Mormon or Jeff Lindsay are good starting points. The Church of Jesus Christ.org is another excellent resource. (Our dear missionaries are not that informed I assure you.) The person making this video has decided on Catholicism and that's great. But he ain't the source of Mormon doctrine ( Why would he be?) As a side note. You won't find an anti Catholic video from Mormonism. This just decides Christianity and in a world where we are increasingly losing influence we actually need each other. There are far more non Christian people on earth than Christian. The message of Christ does not come across in this video. I kinda wonder what this guy would find in looking at Catholic History. Much to question.
There is no anti-mormon sources. The church makes you think there are anti-morment site like people that want to burn down the churches and stuff like that and that's absolutely not true. All these people are doing are reporting on what your church has taught in its history and the history of how your church became an existence. But the men in Utah don't want you to know the truth in the dirty little secrets. You say you've been in the church for 40 years haven't you seen the changes that have happened in your church. Hasn't that ever made you wonder. Even the temple ordinances have changed which are supposed to be eternal.
I was baptized in the mormon cult when I was 8 years old. I spent most of my younger years doing everything a mormon is expected to do. When you're in the bubble everything is fine and dandy; until you allow yourself to see what's outside of the bubble and that's when you realize that your're actually in a bubble. I quit religion completely because I realized that all religions are weird and keep people in their own bubble. Since the creation of Christianity by the romans it's been the same, keep people under control.
I am what people consider “Mormon” but we are actually The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I wanted to correct one thing we still drink coke and soda with caffeine we just don’t drink coffee or tea. I know that the church is true and that it blesses my everyday life and that I am overall more happy when I’m at church and studying the Book of Mormon then when I’m doing or watching things that make me feel lost and disappointed there is nothing anyone could say that would make my not believe. I hope each and everyone of you has an amazing rest or your day and finds it in your heart to get to know us the people better personally not the church before you judge all “Mormons” 😊
My testimony is the same as yours. Let the mainstreamers take the path of destruction. They’re hypocrites. Unless they turn and say, “okay let’s get to know these Latter-Day Saints before jumping to conclusions. Ppl can change through Jesus Christ but some choose not to. It is what it is.
A catholic talking about anyone else's religion being "ecentric" and "whacky" is funny at best. Catholics have some major idolistic, eccentric and whacky beliefs themselves. But hey, let's look past our faults while pointing out everyone else because that's a great coping mechanism.
The reason I made this video is because it annoys me that Mormons are not upfront about these things when you study with them. Moreover, most Christian religions don't actually think Mormons are Christian because their beliefs are so far removed from real Christianity. It's not so with Catholics. While all religions might be said to have some odd beliefs, some have a lot more than others as acknowledged universally by the different religions.
Are you referring to the fact that the catholic church CONDONES child molestation by moving the pervert priests from place to place to give them access to new kids to molest ?!
Catholics back up our claims with evidence, and there is a ton of it out there. If you ask other religions for evidence, there is always some shady reason why they don't have any. Like, it got lost in the desert, or something like that.
@@GuilhermeSilva-lt6rw : Evangelicals misquote the Bible to justify an imaginary Gospel that they invented. When you give them the exact chapter and verse that is the opposite of what they claim, they resort to saying that it is a bad Bible translation. I don't know how many times I have heard that excuse when the exact quotes of Jesus contradict their doctrines, "It's a bad translation." Yeah, like it was accepted for 2,000 years and now someone with no academic training in theology is going to tell professional translators that they got it wrong. Really now?
@@GuilhermeSilva-lt6rw : I hear you, but I'm talking about the quotes directly from Jesus that are not vague. For example, take the Eucharist. Jesus said you cannot have eternal life unless you eat his flesh and drink his blood. Here is an exact quote from a Protestant Bible: “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you." "Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise that person at the last day." "For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink." "Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him." "I am the true bread that came down from heaven." "Anyone who eats this bread will not die as your ancestors did but will live forever.” (John 6 : 53-58 NLT) Notice that Jesus repeats this over and over, and also in other places in the Gospel, but non-Catholics deny it is necessary for eternal life. I don't know how much clearer it could be. Jesus lost thousands of followers when he originally said this, but he never retracted it and said it was just symbolic in order to bring people back to his ministry. This is but only one example of how evangelicals make up their own theology then change the meanings in the Bible to suit their own doctrines which they invented. I could give you a dozen examples, but that would take too long.
@@finaldays1455 : If Jesus was speaking figuratively, then why did he repeat the part about "this is my body and this is my blood" about 10 times? Why did he not say he was just using a metaphor? And why did the early Christian under St. Paul practice the Eucharist EXACTLY the same way we Catholics do it today? (1 Cor. 11 : 26-29) "For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves."
There can't be more than the 'One True Church' and it certainly isn't the Mormons, a modern construct of human origin. God, through Our Lord Jesus Christ founded the Catholic Church as the One, Holy, Catholic Church. 'Catholic' means 'Universal' and that is what it is. So many 'churches' have sprung up around the world claiming to proclaim the truth, but have no God given authority to do so.
Im sure that isnt the case and you dont need to be mean about it. The reason people disliked it was probably because it is suggesting that we are decieving people, when me and the majority of mormons i know do not hide this kind of thing, so it is unfair and not true to say that we try to decieve people, because the majority dont. and the majority dont say we are the same as cathlics because we arent, we are very different.

When I was taking classes to become Catholic I was shocked by how many things Joseph Smith got from the Catholic church. He just called them by different names.
That's because protestants didn't exist unto 1500. Prior to that it was only the true catholic church that Jesus established. We have 2000 years of church history no one else can say that. Protestants are apostates and anyone else who is not a catholic is an apostate.
@@KyrieEleisonMaranatha Catholicism did not come about until hundreds of years after the first church was started. Christians have always been, since the time of Christ. If you took the time to read the Bible, you would know that the true, original church was nothing like Catholicism.
@@estherlewis7458 that's not true and you will be held accountable for every vain word you utter about Catholicism. cyprian of carthage wrote this in 251 a.d. "[After quoting Matthew 16:18f; John 21:15ff]...On him [Peter] He builds the Church, and to him He gives the command to feed the sheep; and although He assigned a like power to all the Apostles, 👉🏻yet he founded a single Chair,👈🏻 and He established by His own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed, the others were that also which Peter was; 👉🏻 *but a primacy is given to Peter👈🏻, whereby it is made clear that there is but ONE CHURCH AND ONE CHAIR* So too, all are shepherds, and the flock is shown to be one, fed by all the Apostles in single-minded accord. 👉🏻 *If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he imagine that he still holds the faith? If he desert the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he still be confident that he is in the Church* 👈🏻 (Cyprian, THE UNITY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH [first edition] 4, c. AD 251) That's 251 a.d. right there 👆🏼
Ive always found it interesting that a person of one particular faith finds solace in picking apart another faith. How insecure in your faith do you have to be to try and tear down another faith that does so much good for the world. Im so glad you made this video. It shows me first hand just how insecure the catholic faith is about other faiths.
It has nothing to do with finding solace. It has everything to do with mormons not being honest and up front about their beliefs. We just think people should have as much information as possible so they can make as informed of a decision as possible. The fact that mormons ask you to be baptized after the second Meeting says everything. That's like asking a woman to marry on the 2nd date. You don't even know the person.
No their not separate gods. Heavenly Father, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost are separate and only Heavenly Father is god. We don’t nessiserily believe that we will become gods... and girls and boys would be rulers if that happened. We are not sexist or racist or anything. And no. We dont believe that black people are evil or anything. We dont believe that black people are evil anymore. That’s what we believed in like, 1762 or something. Polygamy was dumb, and that stuff like, faded... and we never did it or believed it and then it became official way later. Ok, and almost all of my family (we’re Mormons) like, all of my grandparents, parents, nieces, nephews, aunts, and uncles all drink coffee or soda with caffeine sometimes, or all time. My dad drinks coffee every morning. Some Mormons dont drink that stuff, and that’s cool. But its not against the religion or anything. We dont believe caffeine is evil. We dont believe that john is still on the earth. We just are like, “oh... i wonder if john the aposile is on the earth haha😂”.......so ya. But thanks for trying to educate people on Mormonism!
@@jliefn I would encourage you to actually do some homework your dates are wrong 1762? We weren't even a country then and Mormonism wasn't even a blip on the radar. And polygamy the practice of polygamy is still on the books in Mormonism you may not be practicing it but it's still a thing in Mormonism and in fact you can't get into the kingdom of heaven without being spiritually sealed to three wives. That would be polygamy. And yes Mormons do believe that you get to have your own planet and you get to be a God over that planet because I was taught that all through my upbringing and I was in mainstream Mormonism. Also they believe that God is not actually God God but the god that rules over this planet and he was once a man. Also Brigham Young taught the Adam God Theory to where he said through revelation that God came down and was Adam from Adam and Eve. And that was taught throughout the church 50 years after Brigham Young died so if the men of the church were receiving Revelation from God why would God let that slip for 50 years. And in your book of Mormon it talks about the light skin in the dark skin and how God cursed dark-skinned people in the book of Mormon and he lifted the curse later on and they became "White and delightful". So for you to say that the church isn't racist is a flat-out lie yourself personally may not be racist but the church is sitting on top of racist doctrine and has never taken accountability for it. And in fact because of the racism in the church and there was a priest hold band on black men up until 1978 and they only changed that and they claimed it was a revelation but they only changed it after they were getting pushed back from the outside world because of the civil Rights movement.

It's a good thing you're not endorsed by The Catholic Church. Because of you trully new ANYTHING about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- Day Saints, you would know that truth is that we know and practice The Bible, and we abuse by its teachings so long as it is translated correctly. And THAT IS THE TRUTH. We know as well as any other Christian Faith. Lastly the TRUTH IS we are NOT MORMONS. We are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Short for calling us Latter-Day Saints, and THAT IS TRUTH. We are not Mormons any more than Catholics are Lutherans or Baptists are Methodist. The Ancient Prophet Mormon abridged and compiled the other books in The Book of Mormon. God does not call His Church - The Church of Jesus Christ of Mormons. That dear folks IS TRUTH.
I'm not Mormon anymore but a Catholic complaining about a church "hiding things" is beyond hillarious
Actually, I find that hiding stuff is not hilarious but really sad.
It's really just a Pedifile club.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial I do too so why do you give 💰 to a church that hides pedophiles. Not to mention it's history of hiding things like the Bible...
Prove that the Catholic Church hid the bible. Give me some facts from now on to back up your overzealous claims.
The Catholic Church never hid the Bible. Rather, the Catholic Church made the bible, copied the bible for over a thousand years, and translated it into different languages. The Church also taught the bible to people, quoted it often, and even taught it in seminaries to priests, like Luther for example, who was commissioned to teach the Bible by the Catholic Church when he was a priest.
Also, the Catholic Church is not a pedophile club lol. That is just ignorance. Pure and total ignorance. Which is why I made a video on the topic for uninformed people like yourself who has not studied this topic. ruclips.net/video/4GK2Z6lTdAo/видео.html If you are going to make claims, start giving facts. Otherwise, they are just your biased opinions.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial pretty sure the "reformation" was about getting the scriptures into the hands of the common folks... which history teaches the "church" opposed?
First off, I’m not Catholic. As someone who was born and raised in the Mormon world for 56 years, I’ve never heard it all stated more perfectly and more hysterically! All true! I left the church after a lifetime in it for a lot of other reasons 14 years ago. As this young man is stating, he could go on and on, and he indeed could. And it’s not to be mean. The Mormon people are basically fabulous people but that’s the problem. Their deeds and their kindnesses, and with some, their wealth is all quite impressive but that’s the problem! All the far out things you must do, unfortunately, are not going to save them, but it “feels” like it especially if you’re living all those rules. You develop a sense of entitlement and feel special because you do all those right things. Understanding the word of God, venerating him and giving him your heart, and simply loving others as he would is Christian and way too “simple” but is what it takes, yet it’s very difficult for them to see since they are so busy “working.” A confusing, exhausting, religion that will take everything you have from you, along with our Savior, Christ himself, which is the saddest thing of all.
Your view.
I became a believer in Jesus at age 22, after years of Catholic indoctrination. Over 15 yrs. of Cath. education, and never once was the substiutionary atonement of Christ mentioned. Instead, they taught that because you are a sinner you made Jesus suffer and die because of your sins...therefore you need to do tons of things to attain salvation.....sacraments, confession, make someone else a Cath. who isn't one, go to Mass, etc. So I was overjoyed to discover i didn't have to worry about those things anymore....Christ took the penalty for sin upon himself. I liken Catholicism to what's spoken in Romans 7......all the terms of the law cannot justify you before God. And that's what Catholicism taught all of us......blind obedience to terms of the law. There are some Catholic believers, like me now, but possibly stumbled onto the gospel by accident, like I did.
You was a Latter Day saint for 56 years and still think the reason you can't drink coffee is because of caffeine?
This is a misinterpretation of our faith. The real name of our church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. How did the Savior pray to the Father so many times in the New Testament. Jesus was also resurrected after His Cruxifixction and has a body of flesh and bones like our Father in Heaven. The Holy Ghost is Spirit. 😇❤️
No not everything he said is true. He got some things right but some things were completely off. I am a Mormon, always have been always will be. I am not sure where he is getting this information but it is not right. I think he is talking about a different religion, because this doesn't sound like Mormonism at all.
As a former Mormon, I can attest that this is all true! I asked my dad (practicing Mormon) about the "we will become a god of our own planet" belief when I was still Mormon because I had learned of it from someone else, thinking surely this is just crazy talk, and he told me it's actually true!! Unbelievable!!!
Thank you for sharing!
Our belief is, ‘as man is now, God once was, and as God is now, man can become. This belief explains how God is Not infinite, because it is impossible to exist before infinity.
This doesn't make sense. God is infinity. God is infinite and God is eternity. Saying that God had a beginning makes him a lousy God and from a Christian perspective is blasphemy.

@@tommcconville4270 And not the Mormon idea.
As a son of a mormon mother. I need to correct you in a small detail.
Coffee and tea are not allowed. Yet drinks with caffeine in them are allowed.
The church never "upgraded" the "laws" to include cafinated drinks.
Joseph Smith claimed that God told him that coffee, tea, and tobacco were bad.
Yet it took a couple of generations to eliminate them.
Historical records show that Joseph Smith, among many others, still ordered coffee for their trip out of N.Y.
The younger generation, however, was not allowed to partake.
As for these days. The Mormon church claims that it has nothing to do with caffeine.
It is all about doing what God tells us to do.
Therefore, coffee is not allowed because God fobid it.
However, God does not forbid redbull, or many types of chocolate that are high in caffeine.
Me watching this as I drink my coffee:
"Interesting".
I would be laughing as I drink my coffee.
Mormons don’t drink coffee, which makes me VERY suspicious. I don’t trust people who don’t drink coffee.
I'm having tea
@@johngallagher8775 oh, I heard about that. They have very unusual beliefs...
@@johngallagher8775 I drink coffee and im LDS. Its a guide, its not law. The argument is, we may not know why coffee is in the words of wisdom yet. For instance, tobacco was in the words of wisdom way before it was known to cause cancer. Theres been some recent studies that link hot drinks to causing throat cancer. I think it has to do with booze. Back then they put booze in everything. He's not correct about the caffeine thing either. Its hot drinks which Joseph Smith said were coffee and tea. Every mormon I know drinks energy drinks or soda. Personally I think coffee is a way better choice, that's just me. At the end of the day it's between me and god.
I'm on a personal journey to learn more about Jesus. I'm talking to Mormons weekly now. They are super kind and very caring about me and my family. Atleast appear to be. They want me to attend their church and be baptized. I'm not sure about it, as I attend a Baptist church already & was baptized there. I have no intention on converting or anything like that. I just enjoy talking to them about God and they make me feel better about myself. I've been in recovery for about 7 years now and trying to strengthen my relationship with God and teach my kids about Him also. But anyways, yes, i find them a little strange but I feel as I'm helping them feel like their mission isn't for nothing. I'm sure they get turned away and shunned on a regular. So I talk to them and allow them to visit and pray with me and for me. I text them throughout the week and let them know someone cares about them. I have seen videos on how they are treated and sometimes looked down upon if they aren't doing enough of this or that. I feel extremely sad that this happens to such good young people. I figure they don't realize what's going on in their church at such a young age (as they are about 19 or so).. but anyways, I'd consider them a friend. As they grow, they'll become more aware and probably leave anyways..as many already have. They aren't pushy about anything in my experience with them.. they just seem genuinely good-hearted & loving. I wish the best for them and hope they have a good future. I pray for all that are lost. Much love - from a stranger in WV. 🙏✝️❤

One thing about Mormons is they have a value system. Their beliefs are cockeyed and odd and cultish bigtime. I'm Traditional Catholic which is not Catholic of today.
I would cation you about inviting them into your home to pray. They believe in a counterfeit jesus's which means he is of the devil,in fact they teach he is the devils brother. Being kind or nice is great but you have children to protect. Inviting a false christ into your home is dangerous.

My dad is not Mormon but he had heard of the missionaries and stories about them talk about Good Works so he reached out and ask if they'd help clean his house and yard that he wouldn't mind a few lessons. After cleaning he lost some of his old smoking pipes that were given to him by his Grandfather from the Apache tribe. When he asked the missionaries if they had seen them they said "oh yeah we threw them away." These were almost 100 year old smoking pipes and my dad never smoked out of them, but kept them because of memories. That in my opinion was fucked up
Wow! They definitely shouldn't have done that without permission. Thanks for sharing.
Totally fucked up and way out of line!
Wouldn't it have been respectful and proper for them to have asked your father if he wanted them saved ? Just taking the liberty to throw them away sounds like something self annointed " saints " would do.
So your dad thought he could take advantage of these people for some free labor and they did teach him a lesson. He just didn’t know the lesson was don’t be a mooch 😂

I was raised Mormon but broke away in ‘07. By 12 I knew I wanted out. Several of the points you make were taught in the church before my time. Theories and stories have been swept under the rug throughout the past century and a half. Nobody believes that they get their own planet anymore for example. But the whole “skin of darkness” thing. Yeah that’s true. It’s still in the book. Messed up! I get a kick out of uncovering more and more about this “church” my parents and friends are still in
Glad you are out! How are you doing with your walk with God? Take care!
If they don't get their own planet - what is their reward now? (Asking respectfully. I am a baptist Christian with morman family.)
I'm glad you escaped.
@@wendymccullough7909 it's hard to say because their doctrines keep changing to make them more palatable to the average person.
Generally they still believe in exaltation for they can become gods like God is now, but don't really talk about the other parts. The new speaking points are "we can become like our Heavenly Father."
@@wendymccullough7909 sorry for the wait! It pretty simple really. You go to heaven. They really push the family aspect though. They believe if you are all “sealed” together in the Mormon temple, you’ll be able to be together in the afterlife. Or yeah the “becoming like a god” has been dimmed somewhat too throughout the last few decades. Always finding new ways to sell it lol.
But thank you for revealing the truth. May God continue to use you and reveal to you more and more, so that you help the church to know the truth. This is so encouraging to know you are a catholic!! Traditionally only catholic priests, actually bishops are allowed to open the Bible and teach the truth.

I did it all including a mission... Mormonism is a business and everyone in it is expendable. Truth is Truth.
God walked among us. On Earth.
Genesis 3:8 says, “And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.
Wow I didn't realize all this about the mormon church thank you for sharing. I m catholic and very proud of it
I too feel so blessed to be catholic as I child I never really understood or appreciated the gift my parents gave me by raising me as a cradle catholic. What a blessing.
I believe most of what Catholics believe, not all. Alcohol is not good, but who am I to judge anyone?
Just follow Christ please!
There isn't much to be proud of in the Catholic faith. I was raised and went to Catholic schools for 12 years. The cover -up of the priests molesting the children and their involvement in right wing politics is a no no and criminal. You can't tell me that any of the popes didn't know what was going on. A lot of people got bought off. There's not a word that could be used to say how disappointed and let down I've felt. A priest that I really liked when I was in grade school, in my parish, turned out to be an abuser. Sad
Catholic church is way darker sorry. Not sorry.
May God's presence, wisdom and love be with you and your family now and forever more,Selah.
Amen! Thank you!

Ask your Mormon leader who has read the Mormon doctrine if being Black is a curse and the sign given to Cain after killing his brother? They believe all black people are cursed.
I am a member of The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I have heard others talking bad about our church and this man is no different. I do not like to hear others talk badly about the LDS or any other church. I feel that if someone has a love for others they respect others. I don't believe that the Catholic church or any other church for that matter is free from being attacked by someone with hate in their heart. Let me say some of the things he mentioned in his assault on the LDS church are true but twisted to distort the truth. I have read the Book Of Mormon Another Testament of Jesus Christ and have found it to be the word of God. If you really want to learn about the church don't listen to haters but find out for yourselves. Many of the comments that have been shared are from people that are looking for their Heavenly Father, my advice is to find out for yourselves and not take the word of someone that is laughing and insulting someone else"s beliefs.
Telling the truth about another religion is not the same thing as talking bad about them. I actually love Mormons and loved all of our dialogues and meetings. They were all very loving and cordial, but yet, Mormons have a very white-washed presentation of what they believe and it's not fair to others looking in. If Mormons were up front and honest about all of their beliefs, we never would have had to make this video. God bless and thanks for the comment.
I have read the Book of Mormon and God has told me it is false. Even without that confirmation I know that I Nephi 1 is historically and linguistically incorrect.
Thank you love it
Thank you so much for this video, Bryan! I was raised Catholic and converted to the Mormon church 45 years ago. After 3 years I learned these teachings you are talking about in this video and I left the Mormon church and returned to the Catholic church. All their teachings are an attempt to deify man and humanize god!
Next video: 10 Things Catholics WON'T Tell You
I'm thinking about doing that actually...
@@CatholicTruthOfficial
1) nowhere in the bible does it say confess all your sins to a priest who then gives you a way to pay for your sin and get back into God's good graces. It also doesn't say you have to go to confession BEFORE taking communion or else you may be in danger of going to hell.
2) Nowhere in the bible does it say priests or nuns must be unmarried
3) Nowhere does it say Mary's birth was an immaculate conception
4) Nowhere in the bible does it say pray to Mary for intercession or any dead person, but instead, cautions people AGAINST it, calling it sorcery.
5) Nowhere does it say to repeat prayers someone else has written down over and over, but it does tell us not to do that
6) nowhere does it say there needs to be a Pope standing in for Jesus as a Vicar on the earth (that is the Holy Spirit's job)
7) Nowhere does it say tell everyone how to interpret the bible and discourage them from coming up with their own interpretation cause they haven't had enough formal, theological training to be smart enough for that.
8) The bible doesn't say make the scripture interp so confusing no one can follow it, but memorize the interp along with the verse for maximum confusion.
9) The bible does not say to take a vow of poverty, or to take a vow of silence, or to whip yourself to make your flesh come under subjection 10)The bible does not support the notion of purgatory and nowhere does it say we can pray anyone out of their own accountability for their own sin. It's the end game when people die and they alone are responsible for their own lives. I am sure there are more, but there is 10ish...just to get you started. :)
@@HisWordisLife4U very well said. You've really enumerated all of it
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Catholics also get some stuff right. Right to life, birth control, and marriage forever to one person until death, and taking care of the poor, feeding the hungry. Protestant churches fall short in all these areas, hopefully the Catholic church will stop compromising and fearing man. But they have so much extra biblical stuff going on. They overthink it, just like the Jews did. :)
@@CatholicTruthOfficial The Catholic church hides alot of evil satanic stuff. There's a video called "Evidencias 777" that reveals with raw evidence. Too bad the video hasn't been translated from Spanish to English
We were invited to a going away party for a friend of ours before he went away on his mission. He couldn't make a move without being watched by an elder. There was Mormon literature all over the house for us to pick up and the place was full of "elders" in their Mormon uniforms (short sleeves white shirt, black tie, black trousers and name tag). I e never seen anything so cultish.
This is for everyone's protection. If they are together, they have each other's back. They are less tempted to do something bad, and more encouraged to do what they need to do. They can't be in a situation where someone could "bear false witness" against one of them. What they wear separates them and tells everyone who they are.
There is method to the madness!
@@lindalds Nonsense!

@@jacoboneil1524 they will be the first to tell you it’s not nonsense.
Also, they don’t have to wear a black tie. They can wear any color as long as it’s not too garish or disrespectful.
I’ve been an active member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints since 2013. I even served a mission for 2 years for the church in my mid 20’s. I’m extremely familiar the doctrine the church teaches. Everything that was said in this video has been falsely said about the church and it’s belief for years, this guy just read a bunch of Anti Mormon books and is regurgitating them. He has not actually studied what members of the church believe.
As an actual member who knows what’s taught and believed in the church, almost everything that was said is either completely misrepresented or is false.
As a member of the church I have a very personal relationship with my savior Jesus Christ, I am often influenced by the Holy Ghost which influences me to want to do good and serve others like Christ served. I believe it is only through faith in Jesus Christ that I am saved. I have felt the guilt and shame of sin washed from me because of my faith in the Lord which faith has lead me to repentance. All the blessings I enjoy in this life have come from my Heavenly Father and my Faith in my Savior has come to me because of the doctrine that’s taught in the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Everything said in this video is false? You are either ignorant of teachings or you are lying. You don't teach a baptism for the Dead? Your own website says you do. I'm not alone you can't say that everything was wrong. In fact, many Mormons and former Mormons have all said the things in his video were true. We're mostly true but with a few understanding. That's more accurate than your extreme position with shows you probably didn't even watch the video. Another thing, the Mormon website says that the father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three separate beings and three separate Gods. We stated that in the video. So again, everything in the video was wrong. They were correct, with the exception of maybe the caffeine one because you like everything else the Mormons have changed at this also subsequently.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Your exact words: "They actually baptize people who are already dead." Really? We baptize dead people? No, in the temples, baptisms FOR the dead are performed by proxy. There are millions and millions of people who lived on the earth and never had the opportunity to hear the gospel, and many didn't even know of Jesus Christ, the Savior. Our Father in heaven is a loving, just God, and He wants everyone who ever lived to have the opportunity to hear the gospel and have the chance to accept or reject it, so if they didn't have the opportunity to hear it in this mortal life, they will be given the chance to hear it in the Spirit world after they die. And in reference to your comment about an atheist; just because someone does the proxy temple work for someone else who has died does not guarantee that he will be saved in the Celestial Kingdom. Only God knows our hearts, and if we have the chance to accept the gospel in this life and fail to do so, well good luck with that! But God is our final judge. It's not for me or you to judge who goes to the Celestial Kingdom (heaven, if you like that word better) or not. But, again, everyone who didn't have the chance here to accept the gospel in this world will have the chance in the spirit world.
The Bible makes reference to "work for the dead", in other words, proxy baptism. 1 Corinthians 15:29 in the New Testament says, " Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
When I was a kid two young Mormon missionaries came to our house, my parents were JW'S they both tried converting each other I'm sure both my parents and the Mormons thought they were right..at the end of the day all the extreme versions of Christianity are pretty blinkered and toxic also extremely hypocritical just in different ways.
The jewish faith died when the pharisees and saddeusees rejected the son of God, the 2nd person of the Holy Trinity. In the bible it also mentions that you no longer need to follow all the laws of moses, just the 10 commandments of God etc. It's no longer required to be circumcized as a first born to be presented to the Lord. Now we have Christianity, Jesus said he is the way the truth and the life. Btw, what's hypocritical about Christianity? If you're talking about the people, remember this quote, "if you find the perfect church, don't go there because you will make it imperfect"..... we are all sinners. Imperfect. Tha's why Christ died for us on the cross.
That sounds like the start of a really good joke

@@catholicfemininity2126 What do you mean the Jewish Faith died?? The Jews are alive and well. I have close and active Jewish friends. They go to temple on Saturdays. There's a Jewish temple just down the street from where I used to live. Hmmm.... I wonder if they know their Jewish Faith died???⁸

What everyone CANT do is go in the temple . That’s for ages 12 and up to do baptisms for the dead , and 18 + to actually go through the temple , and that’s the stuff they don’t talk about .

Mormons feel so entitled and better than anyone else. During a recent storm where we had 120 mph winds that knocked out power in places in Tulsa not one of mormon neighbors asked the 4 non mormons if they needed anything. I tried to tell one of them that there was something in one of their trees he would not even acknowledge me. It has been up there for 7 days and they have children. If it is heavy I hope it doesn't fall in one of them. Also a year and a half ago this neighborhood did not have any Mormons in it. They started moving in after I found out that my husband was having an adulterous affair with a much younger Mormon woman. He doesn't live here with me now, but this young hussy has changed the house she stays in 5 times since the affair started. He, my estranged husband lies and says she doesn't exist, even though she and all her protectors drive by my house at least 20 times a day. They hacked my phone and were stalking me until I was left without a car by my oh so rotten SO. He has lied to our grown kids too. Playing innocent. Even though his colleagues at work and security have seen her daily with him
They also team up to sneak him into her "home" nightly and out again the next day. He manipulated our youngest, 36, to go to court and sign me in to a place for observation because he made her believe I was paranoid. His little jezebel has a license from the state to counsel people who have mental health issues. Imagine that. Also she is from the Stclair family, part of the Sinclair family. Money. He made sure that I have no money, no car and am living in a house that should be condemned trying to blame me for it. I do not know carpentry. The roof has been partly gone for 5 years. Have to empty lots of buckets when it rains. Mold is growing and I cannot get any help. I called the local law enforcement when this all started, they are no help, in fact the female cop showed up and the only question she asked me was "does Dementia run in your family??" Are you kidding me. These people have had me terrified on lots of occasions. They feel that it is ok to harass and scare a 65 year old woman who has no resources at her disposal. The mormons do not care. I cannot talk to anyone at the local morman churches, or at the Temple in Salt Lake City. They are the most ungodly people I have ever known. They all are driving new cars now, hell I would love to have a used. car. I cannot get to the grocery, my daughter and her sperm donor go. I have been out only about 10 times in a year if I can find a ride and I have to pay someone. I gave every dime I had to our family and did everything for everyone. But no one stands up for me. He is in debt as am I but he has a retirement account. We had to use mine so it is gone. We bought a house after we married using my VA loan but the house was foreclosed on after he lost his job. I still have $10,000 to pay on the house..We are behind o doing taxes by 16 years. He never does anything to fix any of the messes. But blames me. I gave up. I am tired of being a nobody to this family if you can call it that.
This reminded me a bit of Scientology. Until the recent series about it, only people that were committed to Scientology were given the doctrine of the faith. That alone tells you everything you need to know. There is no need to hide the truth, if what you're teaching is true. The only reason to withhold your teachings is because you need to groom your subjects first so they'll believe your twisted words. Our doctrine is available for all to see, The Catechism of the Catholic Church. Nothing is hidden.
Not secret, sacred
@@annettedeem5252 Sacred things can be known. Therefore it is secret.
Mormons use the term "milk before meat", as justification for non disclosure of their more bizarre beliefs. I guess once you are sucked in and jump through their hoops, you can then be told what you actually are supposed to believe.

@@annettedeem5252 Thank you so much for playing. I'm not Catholic, never was.
You are spot on with EVERYTHING except the caffeine. They cannot drink coffee or tea, but Coke and energy drinks are ok-although frowned upon. I went to class at BYU with a Diet Coke in hand everyday (not caffeine free). I was Mormon my whole life until about a few years ago. I didn’t know my beliefs were out of the ordinary, so I didn’t “choose” to not tell- I just didn’t know that they were so different from other Christians. Most missionaries are really young, and they might not know half of what you taught here-especially the dark skin curse. I didn’t know until I researched it. It’s terrible.
Yes, correcr. We realize this has changed since, and even Mormons have said the church changed it and since clarified their position. Thanks for the comment.
We can drink tea or coffee if we want to. We can drink coke or Pepsi if we want to.
@@annettedeem5252 You cannot drink regular coffee or teas (non herbal) if you want to keep your LDS temple recommend (and if you want to follow the word of wisdom).

Please pray for my family. I'm feeling at the end of my rope, I'm so sad and have been praying for help for my family and my children for so long. The Bible tells the story of the persistent widow and the corrupt judge and says that God will help us if we persist because He is the perfect just Judge and loves us.
I can understand and relate. I prayed for my family for many years. And it took many many years for them to come around after some extreme circumstances. Unfortunately, God can't force people to change or interfere with their Free Will, and so sometimes it takes a long time. But I will pray for your family and for you. Sorry you are feeling at the end of your rope. I understand that feeling. Keep strong. Keep persevering. Keep finding strength in prayer yourself. Knowing that God has all things in control.
Milly Esther I understand your frustrations. I am in the same place. Praying for your family now also please pray for mine. Together we pray as intercessors in agreement for their salvation. God bless you. 🕊

My imaginary friend says that all sandwiches should have the crust cut off, but their imaginary friend says that all sandwiches should leave the crust on.
How crazy is that?!
Is it just me or does anyone else also think that Mormonism sounds a lot like Islam.
Nice comment! Yes, there are a lot of similarities. They both reject the trinity and believe God sent a "final" Prophet of Prophets. God bless :)
As an ex-Mormon who used to be a missionary let me correct you on some falsehoods. Do mind that as an ex-Mormon I have no love for that church but if there is anything I believe in as someone who doesn't believe in any god anymore, it's accuracy and honesty. As much as I agree with you that Mormonism and Catholicism are not the same, when I was in the church I never professed that they were similar. So this also depends on the member I would say. So let's look at the points you try to make and I will give some comments:
1) Mormon Doctrine does NOT call the trinity three gods. They do say they are separate entities but since you need to have had a physical body first and have a minimum of one eternal marriage, it's impossible for the Holy Spirit to be a god at this stage as he is a spirit being and has not had a chance to have a body yet etc. So by Mormon definition the Holy Spirit is currently not a god. As for Jesus he might have had a body in this world and he may have temple endowments done but he is not considered god as he will be god to his own children and not his father's children. Christ is considered an older brother to all of us in a rather more literal sense. Christ is called the only-begotten however because of the immaculate conception being unique. They do believe that there are many gods but each one is the only god to his children. This still means that in Mormon doctrine God the Father is the one true god. Jesus plays a role as his representative and mediator between us and god the father. If Mormons told you that they see the trinity as three actual gods, they do not understand their own doctrine.
2&3) Here you show another misunderstanding. Mormons believe that we are literally children of god. All of us. So in the pre-existence (time before we came to earth), God and his wife or wives had many billions of children that were born in spirit. Then the plan was presented that we could come down here and earn a body that would then be exalted afterwards if we merit it. If we do and have one or more wives then we can start our own spirit family and do the same for them. That also means that the God of our God is our grandfather, literally. It's not some random other god. This also explains why Mormons are so family oriented because at the core this is one big family thing. And an eternal family as such as the family continues forward eternally, it also goes backward eternally. There is no first god in that sense but an eternal family. The reason that we only speak of god the father and not the mother is because of the priesthood being the role of the man. This is actually something that is very catholic also. So god essentially to the outside is the person but the role of the mother is also very important in that equation so it's a shared responsibility in which the man and wife or wives have separate roles.
4&5&6) The pre-existence as I mentioned already is the spirit world that they say we lived in before coming to earth. Not only were Lucifer and Jesus brothers, they were our brothers and the eldest ones at that. Again they are seen as our literal brothers. The bible does have references to the war in heaven as it's called when Lucifer took off which one third of the angels, which in Mormon doctrine means a third of the children of god and his wife (wives). The mark of Cain being black skin is something that needs a bit more context. It is true that this is the doctrine and it's why black men were not allowed to hold the priesthood. However, it has to be said that in the time that the Mormon church was founded in the 19th century this was actually a more common belief and as their church was founded in that period it became part of their doctrine. Also other faiths subscribed to this idea but as their doctrines were set already before it wasn't added or seen as needed as an addition. So yes, they do believe it but I also believe this to be a Zeitgeist element that coincided with the creation of their church. Unlucky you could say but it wasn't until the 1970s that they rescinded this saying god had forgiven them and from then on they could get the priesthood.
Railing on polygamy is disingenuous from your side since polygamy and having concubines was normal in the Old Testament and prophets of your god participated in this, so I'm not sure why this is an issue for you. The Mormon church still has polygamy in the sense that if you get married in the temple (which is for eternity) and your wife dies and you remarry in the temple, both marriages count for the afterlife. You will effectively have two wives after your death. But again it's rather disingenuous to complain about a practice that is normal and ok for prophets in the bible.
7&8) There are indeed three degrees in heaven but also within the celestial level. So you can be in the celestial level as a single but only get the highest grade if married.
The caffeine thing is false. Joseph Smith at some point wrote down what is known as the word of wisdom, which later was changed from advice to church law. In that law it is said that hot drinks should be avoided as they are considered bad for the belly. This was later interpreted as tea and coffee. This caused a lot of members to believe that the reason for this was the caffeine but this is not doctrine. In fact Coca Cola won a lawsuit about that and the church has been careful about this. But from a doctrinal point of view it's not forbidden to take caffeine like in soft drinks, just tea and coffee. This is of course ironic because they will drink herbal teas for example and the reason for this advice was probably just to not drink your tea too hot because that is bad for you. But caffeine itself is not forbidden by church doctrine. Any Mormon who says it is, again, doesn't understand their own doctrines.
9) Baptisms for the dead are a thing, as well as performing marriages for the dead. However, it must be noted that this is a matter of law to them. Everybody who ever lived should have the chance of accepting or rejecting what they see as the true church. So these temple rites are performed to give the deceased the opportunity to accept OR reject them. Therefore it's not that people are automatically saved or members of the church by these baptism. As far as I know baptism is also key for Catholicism as they do baptize newborns (which Mormons don't). This is their way of dealing with the question of: what happens to people who never had a chance in their life to embrace the true faith? I could ask the same of Catholics and if the answer is that they don't need to be baptized to be saved, then what's the point of having baptisms at all? Strange as the whole concept may be, it does fit within the logic of a religion that hasn't had the chance to reach every person alive ever.
10) One of the reasons Mormons believe John is still alive and never died is because of John 21 (verses 21-23). I'd like to hear your interpretation of that. However, if god had indeed decided that John would stay alive till the return of Christ on earth as it seems to say in that bible passage, then why would there be sightings and news reports? Is god not all powerful? So you're actually questioning the ability of god to do this. Also please note that there are NO records reporting that Jesus existed during the time he was supposedly alive. None. It's all AFTER and it's all based on what the early Christians wrote down at least 50 years after Christ supposedly died and resurrected. But no one reported this at the time. Also there are no historical references for King David, Abraham etc. So why rail on the Mormons for believing someone was alive but have no sightings when most of the players in the bible are historically unconfirmed. That should bother you too.
Listen, you don't like the Mormons. That's cool. I don't either. But then I don't like Christians over all because they all believe weird things that only have become normalized in our society because it was forced down people's throat with violence if needed. The Mormons added a book to the bible. A lot of Christians hate that. But these Christians forgot they did the same with the Jews. The Christians took a translation of that Tanakh and added some things to it and made some interesting translation and punctuation differences that actually changed the meaning of certain things and even changed the order of the books. Then it was called the Old Testament and a New Testament was added. In essence you took the Jewish faith and said they were wrong and you knew better and added stuff to it. So with all due respect but all you Christians are crazy to believe what you believe from where I'm sitting. Also your bible says judge not lest ye be judged and you seem very interesting in judging others, particularly Mormons. I guess the end justifies the means? It's things like that why I can't take Christianity seriously. But if you must insist on ignoring the wise words of your bible, can you at least be accurate with your accusations and play fair? I have demonstrated mistakes in what you said and it's also clear that you accuse them of things that your own faith also does. I think that it's rather a case of the pot calling the kettle black in that respect.
We're you raised in the lds church?

All of a sudden I realized it was 25 yrs ago and I just caught one of our 5 children sneaking cookies from the cookie jar and with a mouth full spitting crumbs while telling more BS I giggled and said "make sure ya keep your hands behind your back when ya run in your room and finish those! Dinners in an hour see ya then and after we'll count the cookies and divide em up" sure enough eyes swell up, tears drop, "dad I took some cookies"! Put em back and hurry and swallow what ya ate and just you and me know, "This time"! Those were great yrs! 25 yrs later great adults! Always my boys and girls. The difference; they own responsibility instead of blaming any and everybody else. Maybe someday Bryon you'll know that freedom
EyesOfGehenna Now this is a more accurate statement. As a disciple of Jesus Christ I applaud you on being honest and apologize for any of my fellow members who would have any ill feelings in any way. I wish you the greatest happiness in pursuing whatever you find meaningful.
Jesus Christ is the same Yesterday today and for ever!!!!!! And I Love Him!!!!!!!!
Yes He is!! Which is why the Mormon conception of Jesus and exaltation, and Him growing and becoming more perfect doesn't line up with true theology. Neither God the Father nor Jesus are growing toward perfection. They are and have been perfect from eternity.
Well, not exactly. Matthew 5:48 King James Version (KJV)
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Jesus does not here claim to be perfect. But on the cross, he declared, "It is done". Later, after his death and resurrection, he says, King James Version
"Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God." but later he has Thomas feel his wounds which presumably were maintained for this purpose. So, Jesus goes through a number of state changes.
Thomas, Jesus does not go through any changes. Jesus is God, the very eternal wisdom and power of God. Therefore, He has always been and always will be perfect. The Bible even says: "Which one of you can accuse me of sin."
He was perfect.
However, He emptied Himself of His glory and became a perfect human for our sake. However, He ascended back into heaven into his former divine glory. There were no state changes going on, and the Bible doesn't really subscribe to this.
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and for ever"
How do you reconcile this with Luke 2:52?
Amen!
What about Hispanics who are naturally blond?, dark skin and black skin are actually very different. There are many mormons who are dark skin despite their ethnic background.
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A lot of this video is not what we believe.
Sadly many of our missionaries aren’t well versed enough in our doctrines to feel confident talking about most of these things. It’s a bad look. Any member who understands what we believe shouldn’t be afraid of talking about all of these things.
I am shocked by this. It is scary. I am so grateful I was born into a Catholic family with a super religious mother.

Yep. That's what my Mormon sister told me. They have to tell you in dribbles because it would be too difficult for mere mortals to absorb this all at once.
LOL. Truth.
Yup. Milk before meat.
It also serves the purpose that a person is enmeshed and aligned to the institute before they are given all the information they should have been given from the beginning to make an informed, rational choice about whether they want to be a part of it.
That's why Jesus spoke in parables. But he told the truth and didn't withhold the truth or put on a facade or stephord smiler face and feign niceities just to get you to follow him.
Barbara we are taught line upon line, precept on precept, that is how he guides us that is how he teaches his children. How would want to be taught?? Line upon line or have dumped on you all at once??
In my life, I'm 47 yo, I met just one north American that could speak my language, Italian.🇮🇹 An American🇺🇸 woman, a missionary from the Mormon temple of Rome. I sincerely don't care about their doctrines, but she was very nice, humble, talkative and friendly. She was not of Italian descent, probably Mormon missionaries study the language of other countries for their propaganda.
They only study less than half the language they only give the support only get the words they need to support their cult to get people to come to their satanic cult they're feeling it miserably and their terrmmmpills are being destroyed too.
I’m so glad you brought up the skin color curse. I grew up in rural Utah. I’m half black, half white, and not Mormon. Growing up in Utah for me, was hell. Also Utah Mormons are different than out of state Mormons. They are even more self righteous, judgmental, and all of the other fun traits. I know all of this information and plenty more that you didn’t speak about. I felt that I knew more about their religion than they did. Thank you for putting out this truthful information about Mormons.
I've heard there at clusters of Utah Mormon who aren't especially very tolerant. I'm not exactly sure what might be the cause but it might not be something they're responsible for. People are sometimes given bad information. Maybe that's why.
People who are not LDS and attack us always THINK they know more about what we believe, practice and live when actually they know very little. You are one of those people. From your statements, your ignorance is quite obvious. The guy in the black shirt is floating in the same boat as you. Except he spends all of his time attacking The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and little else. I think he needs to get a life and do something positive and helpful to make our world a little better. Not pooping on it.
@@christopherfoote4643 No matter what church you attend you will find people who are less tolerant than others. Not one church is exempt from that.
@@annettedeem5252 I don’t know it all, but I did live there for like 20yrs. My mom’s side is all Mormon and my mom use to be. I have also read portions of the BofM and their other doctrines. I’ve also looked through the Mormon version of the Bible. Which is altered compared to the “normal” Christian bible. Passages changed, Song of Songs is considered not inspired scripture. A lot of my friends were individuals who left the church, so we would fill in the missing places that each other had. You do realize that the Mormon religion changes it’s stances and contradicts it’s own doctrine more than any other Christian faith that I know of. Actually Mormon or the LDS use to hate being associated as Christian. Until everyone called them a cult. Then it changes to “no we are Christian”. Joseph Smith was not a prophet, he was a con artist. Does the Book of Abraham mean anything to you? The early Mormons also started a war for independence against the U.S. government. Wanting to form the land of Deseret. Look if you want to be Mormon, and it makes you happy, then do it. But know your history. I also love when ppl tell others that things that they have personally experienced. Didn’t happen and they are oblivious, nice.
Hold to the iron rod an press forward brother's and sisters peace be with you.
Don't hold anything if it is not true.
Catholic Truth you look at what others view of the church that don’t even know what they’re talking about and tell it to others
@@eastynellsworth5154 To the contrary, I look at what the Mormon church teaches and holds to be true, even though it so often changes.
@catholictruth The Church of Jesus Christ of later day saints changes so often because as the times change we need to change too otherwise we lose our faith and you cannot have a church that functions the same way for thousands of years without changing. And when you say that you are getting the facts from members and what the church teaches then why is it that what you say is so far off from what I have been taught growing up in the church? Do you get statements from people who have turned away from the church and no longer have faith and want the church to die off or do you get your facts from good strong and faithful members who know the truth of the the church of Jesus Christ of later day saints. Try looking beyond what others may view and start truly looking at what is taught and what our modern day prophet and apostles are trying to tell and teach us because what they say can benefit everyone not just members of the church.

@@versatilelord8893 im glad you brought up Paul. Catholics teach that the way to salvation is through personal righteousness, not by faith alone. Which is unbiblical and the exact OPPOSITE of what Paul teaches in ephesians. You can't just make up things to fit your narrative and call yourself a Christian. Catholics do this continuously and I didnt even mention the idolatry.
Researching about Mormonism is so fun I can’t stop researching it
It's a rabbit hole. :)
I am orthodox but you’re one of the very few Catholics I watch
Hey! I am a Mormon. What this man is saying is kind of true, but its totally wrong. For example, we do not baptize dead people. What we do is we find family members or members families and we take upon the baptism for them. We DONT BAPTIZE DEAD PEOPLE. We do not believe in multiple gods. We believe in our Heavenly Father, and Jesus and the Holy Ghost just work together to serve the same purpose: to help guide us in the plan of salvation. We dont know how god was related, so i dont know where he is getting that god was created by another one. Ive always wondered that. Satan did not rebel, but he wanted to force everyone to choose the right, but we are giving free agency, the ability to choose. We DO NOT believe that Cain participated in the rebellion, because there is no way he old have gained a body. It is not black skin he was cursed with. He had a black mark on his forehead and he was the only one that was cursed. I’m frickin brown, so, guess im a devil spawn. We do not believe in POLYGAMY AND WE DID NOT HAVE TO PRATICE THAT. He is talking about B.C and this is bull rap, and he is stating all these things that are not true. We do also believe in the Bible, and we also read it! We believe that we should not really consume coffee or tea because its not your body naturally creating energy. But, you still can! We just dont recommend that, I have so many family members that do though. I LOVE SODA SO IDK WHAT HES TALKING ABOUT.
So I’m an atheist and I always find it interesting when one religious person turns the microscope on another religion and sounds incredulous at some of their beliefs. This guy is spot on with his analysis of Mormons believing some outlandish things. But, um, so do Catholics and Christians in general...
We are discussing within the realm of religion. There is a reason Christians don't accept Mormons as Christians (whereas most accept Catholics as Christians) because Mormon beliefs are so far out there, more than most religions. There is a reason archeology has found many many things within the Bible but cannot find anything to verify the Book of Mormon.
And to be fair, atheists believe some outlandish things too. We all came about by nothing, from nothing, because of nothing, it just happened. Nothing made nothing, and even though only nothing existed, nothing somehow made something, and even though that something is dead, that dead stuff somehow made everything. ... Or worse, it was all just there for eternity. No explanation.
Catholic Bryan I don’t know any atheists that would say that’s what they believe. Most would say first and foremost that they don’t know how everything started. But modern science currently points to a universe that began close to 14 billion years ago.
@@rkane19 I know countless atheists who postulate this. So I would agree with you that many admit that they don't know. To which I respond, "If you don't know, then how do you know it's not God?"
But in reality, it's hypocritical for them to demand that Christians have all the answers,when they themselves admit that they don't have any.
Yes, I understand the big bang and how the universe came to be. And that a Catholic priest was the one who discovered and outlined that theory. Where did the Big Bang come from? Where did all the time, space, matter, and energy come from that created our universe?
Catholic Bryan I don’t “know” it’s not God. That’s kind of my point. At this time I don’t see any actual evidence that a god exists though.
I don’t expect you to have all the answers and I don’t know what happened before the Big Bang (thanks to Lemaitre for that) but, and maybe I’m assuming this, you, other Catholics and religious individuals do claim to have insight into this.
Atheists believe the most crazy things
This guy’s voice is extremely irritating.
I know! I could not even listen to it for more than a minute.
@Todd B Yes, just comment.
@Mr X 100% of what you just said is off in one way or another. We do not worship Mary, we venerate her. We do not pray to statues, we pray to the people those statues represent. There is a lot to go into on the claim that the Catholic Church is pedophilic but to begin with, lets just say a lot of the "information" on the sex scandal is false. And the Catholic Church is too big to be a cult.
Jared Kauffman : Paul in the new Testament defined who is the Holy Spirit. He said that the Holy Spirit is the one who know the things of the CELESTIAL FATHER because live inside the FATHER. So because the FATHER is OMNIPOTENT and GLORIFY then HE can send His Spirit to enter into the LORD JESUS when he was Baptized the Spirit of the FATHER come and enters in JESUS as a dove. So is the FATHER and SON.
@@napolionbonaparte6804 the Bible does not say that the Holy Spirit lives in the Father. It said He it is the Spirit of the Father, not that he lives inside of Him. That is one of the big problems with Mormonism if they have a false conception of who God is.
I was born in the Mormon faith, Salt Lake City,1950, baptized in 1958. I left the church in 1965 because their beliefs did not make sense to me. Most of my relatives are still staunch Mormon or shall I say brainwashed?
I have seen evangelical/pentecostal Christians who are WAY more brainwashed than we "LDS" would ever be.
The part about becoming a god they claim they don't believe and never did. My wife and I were both raised in the LDS church and grew up hearing this for literal years. We've since left the church and now they're all saying they never believed it.
Obiron... We are literal spirit children of a loving, kind, merciful Father in heaven. Because we are literal spirit children of God, why would we not be able to become as he is?? To be as he is we have to be as he is. And it is through our Savior Jesus Christ that we get to him. There's no other way. As far as the having your own planet. I haven't heard it in years and years and years. I'm 60...its a lot of years since I last heard it. It was like when I was oh 12 or 13 and every body was saying it was against our religion to drink coke.... it went as fast as it came. I don't want a planet. My only desire is to return to my Father in heaven and my Savior and live with them and my family forever. Nothing more, nothing less. 😊😊
So many Mormons say so many different things it's hard to even figure out what they believe. Even the Mormon hierarchy itself continually changes its story on what they believe and don't believe.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial You think we're confusing??? The first time I looked at a Catholic Bible it sent me into dizzying confusion making me wish I had taken something for nausea before I looked at it. It made no sense to me at all. It was my dear friends Bible. She was Roman Catholic. She just laughed at me. I baby sat for my Catholic neighbors who lived one street up from me. They had all their two daughters communion things and rosary beads, pictures, christening gowns and everything else all beautifully displayed in a beautiful display case. I felt that dizzying feeling again as I stood there scratching my head and thinking... Huh???? We're confusing??? Right back at ya!!! 🤣🤣🤣

@@daveyjones9930 Davey, you understand the irony in your statement, right? By accusing him of being part of the "wrong" church you are doing the very same thing you are accusing him of (which is a strawman fallacy by the way).
I had a Mormon friend tell me also that the Catholic Church and LDS were similar. I'm a Catholic and I said, " I don't think so. "
They have some similarities, but they are not even close to similar in the end.
I’m Christian and my mormon friends say the same thing
Catholic Bryan Sure, both claim to be the true church and to have infallible doctrine. Can’t get more similar than that.
Davey Jones It’s not what you read that matters but how you read it. My best friend was a lifelong atheist who gained a testimony of the Book of Mormon and the church before he even touched it. He completely changed his life, abandoned his whole lifestyle and was rejected by his partner and family as a result yet continues to press forward. The doctrine of the church is true because it works. It produces a people with the highest sense of well being and happiness which is the principle purpose of life and the promise you are given if you live the principles. This is scientifically proven as well in massive studies that have taken place at UPenn and elsewhere that I read and converted me and other atheists to that way of life. Any denial of that truth is petty cognitive dissonance for the fruit is good and the rest is clearly rotted.
Actually, I think what you might be referring to is, that someone Catholic (I forget who) said to someone Mormon "There are only two churches that could be the true Church of Christ; either the LDS church, or the Roman Catholic church".
OK, I'm an older Mormon/LDS. It is my desire to understand and try to follow what the Lord wishes me to do. With that said, here's the real deal with caffeine. Many LDS think that since coffee and tea are currently "forbidden", it must be because of caffeine. Dumb, easy, incorrect reason. Maté which is drunk in South America has more caffeine and is not counseled against because of the caffeine. It's because everyone sucks on the same drinking gourd. The original statemen in the "word of wisdom" was about "hot drinks". Drinks that burn the mouth are known to cause problems. Early Mormon pioneers drank coffee and tea made with buffalo's left over water, while on their wagon trips to Utah. Boil the water, kill typhoid, dysentery, etc, add tea or coffee, let it cool then drink it. The counsel says it is "for the weakest of the saints or those or those who would be called saints." That would be youngsters and those thinking about joining the church. Christ is saying, "Here is something tangible you can do. Here is an easy way to begin to know me. Also you can read the Book of Mormon. You do your part, I will do mine. Follow me, I will help you". Most if not all who are thinking of joining the church will probably be using coffee, tea, alcohol or tobacco, the things specified in the "word of wisdom. They are things specified by the Lord so that He can provide blessings to those who wish to begin a relationship with Him. It's not caffeine, it's "Hey, there, here is something you can do to follow me. Want a hug? Try it."
it’s true i’m an exmormon (17F) and they tried telling me in my seminary class that black people were a curse INFRONT OF MY AFRICAN AMERICA CLASSMATES. that was the final straw so i left i literally did not wanna listen to this bs anymore

I agree I am new to the church but I have asked the missionaries a lot of questions like a lot. And a lot of the dosent sound what the church teaches and I was reading in to it this sounds like a branch off theres a branch called flds and some of the thing he said matched that but not match to lds
Ex member who’s wants nothing to do with church anymore and has sone tons of deep dives Into the church . Abs I almost found my self like defending the church 🤣after this video .
Exactly. Catholic truths? More like Catholic lies and deception to cause confusion
@@rosejladybugvideos I’m a devoted member too. None of these false accusations are true. I have a list of things Catholics don’t tell ppl or rather they deny it. Latter-day Saints never deny mistakes etc.
Some things Catholics don’t tell you:
Praying to Virgin Mary is not right
Intercession of saints seem more important than Jesus
They think Jesus is God and that he is some interchangeable being. Paganism corrupted the Catholic Church a long time ago and isn’t the original church Christ put on this earth. The Catholics have been known for burning many innocent ppl for standing against the oppression and even the corruption of pedophilia towards children and even homosexuality. Being homosexual or anything along that is a serious sin. Thou shalt not commit adultery! His Commandments still ring true to this day.
The trinity is the center of their beliefs even tho it’s not three in one.
Lastly, the pope declared sexual sin isn’t serious. Well let me tell you this, I will never leave the true church restored upon this earth. Joseph Smith was a true prophet. The Book of Mormon is true. Just as the bible is. Catholics seem to deny verses in the bible and cherry pick parts to bible bash Latter-day Saints. The trinity is false man made doctrine because Constantine and the Nicene councils made it up. Peter never went to Rome when he was alive but his corpse was moved to Rome and he was turned into some saint. Jesus is the Son of God and isn’t a baby. Mary is the mother of Christ not the mother of God. I have spoken the truth of Christ. Matthew 7:13-14 speaks of how few find and enter the narrow gate that has truth and life within it. Many walk through the wider gate that unfortunately leads towards lies, deception, destruction etc.
Most denominations will accuse Latter-day Saints of not being Christian. Yet did Jesus teach you to falsely accuse a fellow believer? No. So I will say, we Latter-day Saints are the few who choose the narrow path towards life and truth. We solely believe in the original teachings of Jesus Christ. I have spoken absolute objective truth. Opposition’s opinions are subjective and will be debunked without hesitation.
The Catholics have admitted somehow they’re Baal worshipers aka sun worshipers aka Nimrod and his mother being the center of attention. Jesus isn’t the Sun deity and Nimrod’s wife apparently became the “mother of god” to turn nimrod into her son. It’s twisted but true. For Jesus foretold that there would be false Christs who twist and pervert the gospel. I testify it has come true.
Nimrod is not Jesus but many don’t realize they’re worshiping the sun god “sola invictus” aka nimrod in the Roman dialect.
And God isn’t the God of confusion. The adversary aka the devil is the father of all lies. He is causing so much confusion within many church communities who decide to bash on “Mormons”. Proper term is Latter-day Saints. I’ve done my research and I will not hesitate to share these truths with the ppl who want to know more about us.
I had a friend who was ready to convert and in the last interview they asked if she had ever had an abortion. In medical terms a miscarriage is called a spontaneous abortion. She had a miscarriage [spontaneous abortion] and replied she had a spontaneous abortion in her late teens. They refused her baptism. When it became clear after weeks later it was what lay people called a miscarriage then everyone was oh so sorry and let's go ahead. My friend said her God was a forgiving God not a vengeful God.
She should have just said miscarriage. I'm sure she knew that they meant elective abortion.
@Gabriel Mondragon judge not least YOU be judged. Bles you and I wish you well
@@lindalds when you are suddenly asked if you had ever been pregnant and not given birth, at a time when you were expecting to be completing everything prior to baptism and it is only then the subject of any pregnancy issues come up imagine the confusion of being faced with a less than accepting and suddenly cold reception into what had previously been the type of welcoming atmosphere she had experienced. It actually made her speechless and then her mind told her take a breath and pray about this some more. Perhaps if it were known women are given the roasting over the coals during the last visitation before baptism .... and if it was known women are not allowed to join if they had an abortion. I did not know that until I was listening to her talk of her experience.
@@maryblack5246 Women have been able to join who have had an abortion.
However, some people just don't know what a spontaneous abortion is, and all they hear is "abortion". She should have just said, no, but I've had a miscarriage.
Well look who likes to call names and try to subjugate women who do not and will not submit to the big mean name-calling man - to start calling people a liar and then a nazi...how proud your parents must be of your eloquence.
I'm a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I would never tell anyone that we are the same as the Catholics. I also want to go over the 10 things brought up by this guy in the video so you will get a perspective from a "Mormon" about what we believe about these topics:
1. Are there millions of Gods? First off we do believe as Paul taught in 1 Corinthians 8:4-6 that there are gods many and lords many but to us there is but one God the Father and one Lord Jesus Christ whom we worship. Why would Paul say this? Because this is what the Lord also taught in Psalms 82:6. He taught that we are all gods. Some deny this and try to say that this verse means "judges" but Jesus reiterated this in John 10:31-36 when he taught that, "I said, ye are gods". You can't replace "gods" with "judges" in John 10 and make it work. And it was Jesus quoting Psalms 82:6 in John 10:34. So if Jesus believe we were all gods, then how many have people have lived on the earth? I would say at least millions.
He mocks us when we say that the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are 3 separate and distinct Gods yet they all represent the one true God. What I can never believe that the Catholic Church teaches is that the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are the same being. Where does it ever teach that in the Bible? The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are 3 separate and distinct persons and beings and each of these Gods represent the one true God who is the Father. They all 3 are united in purpose, doctrine, and glory. They all represent a single idea of God and thus they are all a representation of the one true God. Even Jesus taught that we too can become one even and the Father and Jesus are one. This also does not mean that we become the same being but that we too become united in purpose, doctrine and glory.
John 17:20-23
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be cone in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
2. Did God become a man like us? It is obvious that Jesus was God before the foundation of this earth. A simple reading of John 1:1-3, 14 tells us that Jesus is the Word of God and that he was with God the Father in the beginning and he also was God (part of the godhead). It was through him that the Father created all things. Anyone who reads or understands the Bible knows that God the Son became flesh and dwelt among us. Yes. Jesus became a man. He was perfect but still a man. In Genesis 1:26 it tells us that God said, "Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness" Who do you think these who are God are who spoke this? What it not God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ? Yes!! And the made mankind in their very image and likeness. God the Father is in the image of man and so is Jesus. They are mankind. In Paul's epistle to the Hebrews 1:3 he taught that the resurrected Jesus with his body of flesh and bones (Luke 24) was the very express image of the person of the Father. The truth is that man and woman became a man and woman just like God. They were both created in his image and likeness.
3. Can man become a God? Would Jesus give us a commandment if we could never fulfill his commandment? In Matthew 5:48 has Jesus command us to be perfect even as our Father in Heaven is perfect. Can we be exactly perfect as our Father in Heaven and not be what he is? In John 17:20-23 above we understand that we can become one with the Father and Jesus even as they are one and receive the same glory. It states that we may be made perfect in one with the Father and Son. Can we truly do this without become just like them? We read in Psalms 82:1 that God judges among the congregation of the gods. Yes, we do believe that the purpose of God is that we become like him and actually become one of the many gods that Paul refers to in 1 Corinthians 8:4-6. If man can become a God then why is it strange to believe that God himself became what he is? If Jesus does nothing but what he has seen the Father do(John 5:19-20), then why is it so hard to believe that maybe the Father was once a Christ on his own world. Did Jesus see the Father suffer for the sins of the world? If God has his own universe and if we are become what he is, is it so hard to believe that we could one day have our own universe and kingdom?
Man cannot become a God without the woman the same as a woman cannot become a God without the man. Paul the Apostle taught the neither is the man without woman nor the woman without the man in the Lord. (1 Corinthians 11:11). In Genesis we also read that when the man and woman marry that they are to become one flesh (Genesis 2:24). Also in the the New Testament we are taught that through the priesthood that whatsoever a man seal or binds on earth can be bound in heaven. (Matthew 18:18). We exercise that right and seal a man and woman on earth to be eternally married in the heavens. We believe that man and woman are to be sealed in marriage for not only time but also for eternity and family members can also be bound together in eternity as a family. Yes we believe that just as Jesus is the express image of the Father we believe the Father also has a resurrected immortal body the same as Jesus. We believe that he has been sealed to an eternal wife which is our Mother in Heaven who gave birth to our spirits before we came to this earth. This we believe is the eternal purpose of man and woman.

Growing up and living in Utah my entire life, I've never understood the coffee thing. Some will say it is because of the caffeine but I can guarantee that the VAST majority of Utah Mormons are HUGE Coke heads. Like coca-cola. They drink so much caffeinated soda. Just a baffling contradiction among LDS "doctrine"
Haha "Coke-heads"
BYU honor code talked about no caffeine drinks. Really has nothing to do with LDS. They have no hot drinks in word of wisdom. Emma tried to poison Joseph twice buy putting stuff in his coffee. No wonder they did away with it
It’s the addiction part. And members of the church should not be drinking Coke if they have a serious addiction that can affect their health. again we will not excommunicate and member who does drink coffee

Your enthusiasm is infectious. I'd like to make a sizable donation to your ministry. Just one question: What means "Thou shalt have no other gods before me?"
You can't know any truth from any scripture until you've acted it out. When Christ says follow me, I beleive he means to where He is. We are here to prove that we can be a light in the darkness, like Him. I dont care what religion you are in, do you act like Him...?
When the Savior says "Come Follow Me," he means do as he does.
What do you mean acted out??
@@annettedeem5252 acting out a life filled with Christ like attributes. Acting out God's will and not your own. Listening to God's promptings to have experiences serving and teaching others. If you want to know a principal from the scriptures is true, ask God to give you an experience concerning that thing so you have an understanding. For example... If you want to understand the blessings that can come from paying tithing, you would pay tithing having faith you will experience that blessing. The testimony of that experience is oil in your lamp.
"I'm not yet. I'll be 2000 October the 16th." ~ Mel Brooks, "The 2000-Year-Old Man"
Funniest part is that Bible wasn't fully put together until 351 AD. Jesus even said to hold to his teachings whether by word or mouth. So for a while the word of God was spread by word of mouth and Jesus' traditions. Then after 1500 years some random smart men decided to start their own religion and call themselves "christians." From this we got them crazy Mormons 😂
Psalms 37: 28
For the Lord loveth judgement, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
Amen! Jesus started the Catholic Church, and He will not forsake His Church. That's why He said the gates of hell will not prevail against the church.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Jesus started the christian church and soon after the church was split into orthodox and catholic. You can’t claim you’re christ’s church if any other religion can’t.

I’m not a Catholic.
@@iankammerman1998 well i meant for anyone who watches thos video to learn more about our church
I would tell people these 10 things, but correctly. You told quite a few untruths along with what you mentioned. Please get your information correct before making such a video.
I did my best to make sure that it was accurate, and most of it was accurate, as admitted by many Mormons and ex-Mormons. I put quotes in the description section above if you are interested.
It was mostly accurate as many Mormons and ex-Mormons have admitted. It's also why i backed it all up with quotes in the description section above and more in the comments section below.
You have made countless erroneous anti-Catholic statements, including your indulgences statement above (and you have not the slightest idea of what an indulgence is). Further, you have never backed any of assertions up. At least I verified mine with many quotes. You have yet to do that.

It's false....you lie about the LDS church...search before talk
Honestly I’ve heard the blacks are cursed by Kane comments before so even if all the other stuff is not true, that makes lds ppl look extremely unevolved and retarded
I was told I chose my life from that spirit place. I was raised Mormon. Not anymore.
I'm an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. While I don't speak for the church, upon watching this video, I felt there were a number of points that were either very misleading or just incorrect, and I would like to attempt to set the record straight for anyone who is interested. I'm really not interested in engaging in a debate on this, so please do not expect me to respond to comments.
There are millions of gods: FALSE
While it is true that the LDS belief in the godhead is that they are three distinct beings, there is no doctrine of the church that claims there are millions of gods beyond the godhead. While personal opinions among members of the church may vary, this is not something that I personally believe and should not be attributed to a position of the church.
God was once a man like us: FALSE
I suspect this is attributed to the quote by Lorenzo Snow, "As man is, God once was; As God now is, man may become." To clarify, the church teaches eternal progression including a progression of glory; something we all engage in as we evolve mentally and spiritually. This does not mean that God was ever mortal, a sinner, or that His terms of progression look anything like ours. It also doesn't mean we ever become equal to God.
God didn't create the universe: FALSE
Again, I believe this idea comes from an evolution of the above misunderstanding, but this is unequivocally false. The church teaches that God created the universe, and the laws therein which dictate the means by which one can receive salvation. Additionally, there is no doctrine of the church that teaches that "God worshiped another God" or anything comparable to this, and it is not something I personally believe.
We can become like God: TRUE
The entire principle behind eternal progression is to become like God; to inherit all the He has. To reiterate, this does not mean that we ever supersede or become equal to God, or that we ever stop worshiping Him. In much the same way that we are spirits and posses a physical body, likewise the church teaches that God is also a spirit and possesses a physical body, and we are created in His image.
We receive a planet as a reward for salvation: FALSE
I've heard this before and I don't understand the origin of it - I suspect it is a deviation of the teaching that we can become like God and thereby populate worlds. However, the specifics of what that looks like, or the terms with which it is engaged is not taught by the church. Personally, I think if becoming like God includes the power to create universes, why would I be concerned with inheriting a planet here? Women are not ostracized of the same blessings as men.
Preexistence (Spirit Realm) / Satan rebellion against God: TRUE
While I'm not a huge fan of the flippant way in which this information is delivered, this is basically accurate.
Curse of Cain: MOSTLY FALSE
While it is true that God has occasionally marked people as a means to distinguish them from his people, the first issue I have here is that implication that those descendants who are "not white" are cursed as a teaching of the church, which is not accurate. The method of marking has varied, but has at times included skin color, which is passed on genetically. This should NOT be attributed to mean that those of any race are any less children of God, less valuable, or less worthy of salvation, as stated in 2nd Nephi 26:33, "... and he inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female..."
Cain committed the first murder and was rebuked for it. The church does not teach that he conspired with Satan when he rebelled against God (or else he would have been cast out with those who followed Satan). The idea that those born with dark skin were followers of Satan and/or aided in the Satan's rebellion against God is blatantly false. The church teaches that those who followed Satan were indeed sent to earth, but they are bodiless spirits - they were NOT born with bodies like you and I.
Polygamy was an eternal doctrine one must practice to get into heaven: FALSE
While it is true that the church practiced polygamy (as has also been practiced in the history of Christianity), the idea that one must practice it as a means to get to heaven is false, and sounds more like an FLDS teaching. When it was practiced in the church, it was a calling, and certainly not something one could aspire to, or choose to practice because they felt like it. There is no doctrine of salvation specifically surrounding polygamy. While I believe that Christ was likely married (Jewish tradition at the time also seems to support that), I don't know of any church doctrine that claims He was a polygamist, and that's not something I personally believe.
Various sects / turmoil within "Mormonism": MISLEADING
It is true that there are a number of offshoots of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I don't know exactly how many, but most all of them are very insignificant. I'm familiar with the FLDS, but their current teachings have little resemblance to that of the church. "Mormons" you see today are almost exclusively members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Three different heavens: TRUE
Not much to say about this - the description given is basically accurate.
No Caffeine: FALSE
The "Word of Wisdom" is the law being referenced here, which dictates certain substances from which members should abstain. This includes substances such as alcohol, tobacco, green tea and coffee. Many have speculated that the reason green tea and coffee are included is because of their caffeine content. While I won't argue that caffeine isn't particularly healthy, there's no doctrine of the church that specifically prohibits caffeine, and many members do drink soft drinks such as Coke.
As an addendum, with regards to the missionary story and the coffee maker, I don't know any member of the church that would support breaking into someone's home and removing a coffee maker (or any property, for that matter), nor is that anything that would ever be condoned by the church.
Baptism for the Dead: MOSTLY TRUE
A few points of clarification: Baptisms for the dead are conducted by proxy (we don't actually baptize dead bodies). As many have come and died without having had the opportunity to accept baptism, the purpose is to give them that opportunity. This does not mean, nor does the church teach, that these people have accepted the church or its teachings.
John the Apostle living today: TRUE
This actually comes from the Bible, NKJV - John 21: 20-23. I wouldn't say that this is a critical point of doctrine within the church. John's whereabouts are unknown.
Matthew 6:24,
24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and Mammon.
Well thats not true.. People serve more then 1 master all the time.
@@stevenhenderson9005 Everyone only truly serves one master or the other.
@@iankammerman1998 that doesn't make any sense. So thats like saying you can't have more then 1 job or 1 boss. There are good righteous Christians the will still do some sinister things sometimes.

@@rachelczumaya2806 you keep commenting that this video is all lies, but you don't even attempt to tell us which is a lie and what is the truth.
I grew up Mormon. I went to church every week growing up, as well as seminary class in my teens, and some institute classes during college.
Mormons call the Trinity the Godhead to emphasize that it's made up of three separate beings. I don't think that's strange at all. Actually, I think it's really weird that some religions think they're the same person. They're only one in PURPOSE. How could Christ pray to God when he was on earth if they were the same person? "Father, remove this bitter cup from me..."
I never heard of millions of Gods currently existing, only that we can become gods ourselves, which is a potential for millions or more gods in the future, which is part of God's plan. I see nothing strange about this.
I was only told that God became perfect and that's why he understands my trials, nothing about him worshipping other Gods. Actually, I always thought that I as a god, might inhabit my own universe, not just a planet. I don't think that's weird either since I'm a son of God and am born to have his potential.
I was never told anything about dark skin and blacks. Never heard it.
I've never been taught that I'll be REQUIRED to have multiple wives.
If he wants to highlight schisms as an example to doubt a church's validity, he should use Catholicism and Protestantism as an example instead of Mormonism and breakaway cults.
Celestial, Terrestrial and Telestial are different kingdoms in heaven, not separate heavens themselves. Those rewards are assigned according to our works in this life. This is not strange.
Strong drink is forbidden in the LDS church as the result of a revelation to the prophet. I have no problem with a prophet receiving revelation as in days of old, because.... they're prophets.
Mormons perform baptisms for the dead to give them the opportunity to accept or reject it on the either side. It's not a done deal, just an opportunity for them.
I've never heard anything about about John walking the earth.
By the way, I think it's really weird and blasphemous that Catholics pray to Mary as well as create idols of her.
I completely agree
We are only asking for Mother Mary's intercession. That why we say "Pray for us" to her and "Have mercy on us" to Jesus.😊 The statues are only a reminder of our Mother, the mother of Jesus, because we are humans, we depend on our senses, and it is with these statues that we are reminded of the saints in heaven.
Why don't you call out the government for the statues of national heroes? The images of a person in your coins and bills? Why don't you call out artists for making portraits of people? Why don't you burn or hide the pictures in your wall?
Idols. You mean like those countless gods of Hindus? Worshipping the statues of gods of many titles. Offering them their clothes, foods, possessions?
Mother Mary loves you. Jesus loves you. All praise and glory be to God.🙏
@@ite_ad_iosep this is ridiculous it does not matter what church you go to as long as you have faith and love god and know that god is our father. There should be no reason people argue over which church is true or not. I am a Mormon and some people go to church because they feel like they need to be there every Sunday but forget the real reason we are supposed to be there I mean people who don’t go to church every Sunday can have more faith in Jesus Christ then members or the church.
They do not call the Holy Trinity the Godhead as they do not believe in the Holy Trinity. We call the Holy Trinity the triune Godhead. 3 Persons, one God. You are making the mistake Mormons do in saying we believe in Modalism. No, we don't.
Mormons make idols out of Joseph Smith and subsequent "Prophets". They even had a walking stick of his that they reverenced.
I absolutely do not want myself to be mentioned in their temples for "baptism". I don't care their explanations. No means no. It will be in my Will.
Latter-day Saint here. I can't cover all the points, but here is one: Actually, I think the reason we don't talk about some of those things is because we don't understand them fully ourselves. The important thing is the gospel of Jesus Christ, and that is what we want to convert people to. The deeper things, you can ponder later. I'll give you one example from the Bible: Revelation 3:21 "To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne." What does this mean? It sounds like we will all gain the same throne as Jesus Christ, through his atonement. Why don't Christians teach that one to new converts? It is probably because they barely understand it themselves. Yes, we do have scriptures about becoming like God (exaltation). But there is no detail about what this means, other than that it involves "the continuation of the seeds forever and ever" (having spirit children in the same way that God does, with references to the Abrahamic Covenant and God's promise to Abraham that his seed would be as numerous as the sands of the seashore. We get the same promise in the temple) and "overcoming all things" and general words like "thrones, principalities, powers, dominions" etc. I've never heard once in Church (or the temple) that there are "millions of Gods." This is an extrapolation of some of our scriptures, so it could be true in an obscure sense (although in any case there is only one God relevant to us and our universe). So it becomes a bit of a game of semantics.Respect for Catholics though! Keep up the faith.
I was raised Catholic, and have alway been intensely interested in religious beliefs. I don’t really see any of the Mormon revelation as being any more strange than the stories in the Bible that Christians believe about Jesus and other characters.
You don't think that we can all become God's and on our own planets is strange? That is way out there. Which is why no Christian history actually is believed that. And that is just one example.
Oh yes, it is strange. Don’t get me wrong, Mormon beliefs are odd... I just think that christian beliefs are also odd... not really more or less.
Hocus Smokus maybe, but I don’t think the holy spirit is the issue... I am filled every day with an absolute peace and knowing that God has me and every other creature, and object, and empty space in his hands, at all times. It is religion that I take issue with. It is when humans organize around the idea of the divine, and their own ego’s and inadequate minds try to explain and rationalize God, that things get messed up. Every religion I have ever lived, or explored (for me) has fallen short of the amazing awesome wonder of the divine and the infinite love available to all of creation. It is religion I am critical of, and skeptical of, not the Holy Spirit.
I grew up LDS...I'm not anymore....but I just wanted to say, I was never taught, or taught to say, that LDS and Catholic beliefs were basically the same. But I do want to add...as someone who learned how to deconstruct their faith...its funny to watch people like the fellow in this video wonder about "the odd and weird" beliefs of others, then go on to express their belief in prayer, miracles, virgin births, and all the rest of those weird and odd beliefs. Every religion is "weird" to someone. Even yours.
Atheism is weird too.
@@LadyMaria If you're raised in religion and told a God is necessary for us to exist and that people who don't believe are decieved, yeah, I guess it is.

One of the things that makes a cult a cult is believing/teaching that Jesus sacrifice wasn't sufficient and you need some sort of additional help to be saved, like the Catholic church teaches that we need Mary.
Except that Catholics don't teach that. Seems like you need to brush up on what Catholics actually believe.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Do Catholics believe it is faith alone, as the Bible teaches?
Ex Mormon here, wanted to chime in.
1. In my experience at least, Mormons are open about the divinity being different beings. I have never met another Mormon who considers all three to be gods.
2. You may be right about them believing in multiple gods? To be honest I'm unsure. I've never heard that directly, only that our God will one day give us the chance to be like him if we do what we should.
3. Your third point ties in with what I said above. It's accurate but I've personally never heard someone say God went through a trial like us to potentially one day become God.
4. Your point about the devil being brothers and certain skin colors rebelling is accurate.
5. Your point about polygamy is true.
6. Your point about different heavens and coffee is true. However, most Mormons don't forbid caffeine. It's specifically coffee and green / black tea. Anything else is just not recommended.
7. We are obsessed with ancestry LOL
8. Your last point is accurate too.
Overall I think you did a good job, there are multiple different sects so what I was taught may be different from what you were told.
So IF I wanted to learn more about the Mormon church, I should go ask a Catholic? Is THAT what you're doing here?
Actually, normally I would say go straight to the source. But since the source won't tell you all of these things until after you join, I think people should have the information upfront so they can make a mature and informed decision. That's why the lot felt to me. If the Mormons were upfront and honest about who they thought God was, and their beliefs about God, then I would never have had to make this video.

It's amazing how many people claim to be authorities on something that they really know nothing about.. The Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ. Anyone who seriously wants to draw closer to our Heavenly Father should study it along with the Bible.
The Book of Mormon is not another Gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus himself said there is no other gospel in the Bible. And any other gospel that contradicts the Bible is a false gospel in that person is accursed. Mormonism tries to bring a different gospel, and therefore its accursed. The person who made this video has read the book of Mormon, doctrines and Covenants, the great apostasy, the book of Abraham, the word of wisdom, and a lot more. So he knows what he's talking about. He also put many quotes in the description section of this video.
i know something about mormonism, i was raised mormon. and i'm here to say mormonism is a cult.
your "testimony" of the book of mormon is a lie. you're lying to all non mormons, and you may very well be lying to yourself. lies come as natural as a babies smile to mormons.
the big lie you're trying to advance is that mormons believe in the book of mormon and that tmormonism advances biblical christianity.
let's put truth to the lie. what you really believe is that there is more than one god and you can become a god too.
does the book of mormon teach polytheism? no. name one verse in the whole b/m that teaches polytheism.
so, putting truth to the lie, what is the big advantage you seek with the b/m. it's very simple. once you get people out of the bible, they're susceptible to any blasphemy the mormon church wants to present.
when exactly do you think the general populous will be ready for the "meat"?
i may be of assistance on that matter right here and now.

polygamy is absolutely necessary to be a god.
all gods have lots of wives that they copulate with to make spirit babies and populate other worlds with.
I believe although there are many different regions, we should all respect other for what we believe or what we are.
I am a Mormon and I believe that respecting others religions are IMPORTANT. I respect Catholic people , if us Mormons respect you, and other. Show the same kind of respect back. Some Mormons may do that, but It doesn't mean disrespect them because their different.
I agree, respect is very important. We might not agree on everything, or even on very little, but we can still dialogue about the truth in a respectful way as Christ would want. God bless you.
I hope you read the Holy Bible and leave all the other stuff behind.
GOD bless
Thank you! You took the words right out of my mouth!
I do not respect what other's believe, but I can be kind to people of other religions. Just because we don't agree does not mean we cannot be kind or civil. It does say that we cannot be friends or hang out or eat together unless we are witnessing to you. My discussions with Catholics usually end with me quoting verses to prove my point and them quoting the interpretation(s) of the church which never have anything to do with the very simple topics at hand. It's like we both say we follow the teachings in the bible, but we are speaking a different language. These are English-speaking people with an Bible written in the English language.
@@jamesmorgan2064 Do you believe Jesus is the Christ and the Lord of the whole world?
Do you know that there were other people on earth in biblical times in different parts of the world? If you believe Jesus is the Lord of the whole world then you would believe that Jesus would make himself known to the whole world. After Jesus was resurrected he came to his disciples. If he can do this then he can appear to anyone else in different parts of the world. I really think it is nieve to think that Jesus would not make himself known to all of the people. Also, I think no one has the right or permission to say where Jesus can go and where he can't.

Videos by professor Dan Peterson,Fair Mormon or Jeff Lindsay are good starting points.
The Church of Jesus Christ.org is another excellent resource.
(Our dear missionaries are not that informed I assure you.)
The person making this video has decided on Catholicism and that's great.
But he ain't the source of Mormon doctrine ( Why would he be?)
As a side note.
You won't find an anti Catholic video from Mormonism.
This just decides Christianity and in a world where we are increasingly losing influence we actually need each other.
There are far more non Christian people on earth than Christian.
The message of Christ does not come across in this video.
I kinda wonder what this guy would find in looking at Catholic History.
Much to question.
There is no anti-mormon sources. The church makes you think there are anti-morment site like people that want to burn down the churches and stuff like that and that's absolutely not true. All these people are doing are reporting on what your church has taught in its history and the history of how your church became an existence. But the men in Utah don't want you to know the truth in the dirty little secrets. You say you've been in the church for 40 years haven't you seen the changes that have happened in your church. Hasn't that ever made you wonder. Even the temple ordinances have changed which are supposed to be eternal.
Yes
There are more people of color on this planet than whites
I was baptized in the mormon cult when I was 8 years old. I spent most of my younger years doing everything a mormon is expected to do. When you're in the bubble everything is fine and dandy; until you allow yourself to see what's outside of the bubble and that's when you realize that your're actually in a bubble. I quit religion completely because I realized that all religions are weird and keep people in their own bubble. Since the creation of Christianity by the romans it's been the same, keep people under control.
Thanks for the comment. However, the Romans didn't start Christianity. Jesus did.
I am what people consider “Mormon” but we are actually The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I wanted to correct one thing we still drink coke and soda with caffeine we just don’t drink coffee or tea. I know that the church is true and that it blesses my everyday life and that I am overall more happy when I’m at church and studying the Book of Mormon then when I’m doing or watching things that make me feel lost and disappointed there is nothing anyone could say that would make my not believe. I hope each and everyone of you has an amazing rest or your day and finds it in your heart to get to know us the people better personally not the church before you judge all “Mormons” 😊
My testimony is the same as yours. Let the mainstreamers take the path of destruction. They’re hypocrites. Unless they turn and say, “okay let’s get to know these Latter-Day Saints before jumping to conclusions. Ppl can change through Jesus Christ but some choose not to. It is what it is.
A catholic talking about anyone else's religion being "ecentric" and "whacky" is funny at best. Catholics have some major idolistic, eccentric and whacky beliefs themselves.
But hey, let's look past our faults while pointing out everyone else because that's a great coping mechanism.
The reason I made this video is because it annoys me that Mormons are not upfront about these things when you study with them. Moreover, most Christian religions don't actually think Mormons are Christian because their beliefs are so far removed from real Christianity. It's not so with Catholics. While all religions might be said to have some odd beliefs, some have a lot more than others as acknowledged universally by the different religions.
Are you referring to the fact that the catholic church CONDONES child molestation by moving the pervert priests from place to place to give them access to new kids to molest ?!
@@just_peachy11 And it's even worse outside the Catholic Church (so be careful where you point your finger)
@@fishwax6371I am athiest...I pray to no one.
@@just_peachy11 So?
It amazes me how religious leaders can use great tactics to disprove other religions, but fail to use the same tactics on their own religion.
We do apply the same standards to other religions as to our own.
Catholics back up our claims with evidence, and there is a ton of it out there. If you ask other religions for evidence, there is always some shady reason why they don't have any. Like, it got lost in the desert, or something like that.
@@GuilhermeSilva-lt6rw : Evangelicals misquote the Bible to justify an imaginary Gospel that they invented. When you give them the exact chapter and verse that is the opposite of what they claim, they resort to saying that it is a bad Bible translation. I don't know how many times I have heard that excuse when the exact quotes of Jesus contradict their doctrines, "It's a bad translation." Yeah, like it was accepted for 2,000 years and now someone with no academic training in theology is going to tell professional translators that they got it wrong. Really now?
@@GuilhermeSilva-lt6rw : I hear you, but I'm talking about the quotes directly from Jesus that are not vague. For example, take the Eucharist. Jesus said you cannot have eternal life unless you eat his flesh and drink his blood. Here is an exact quote from a Protestant Bible:
“I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you."
"Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise that person at the last day."
"For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink."
"Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him."
"I am the true bread that came down from heaven."
"Anyone who eats this bread will not die as your ancestors did but will live forever.”
(John 6 : 53-58 NLT)
Notice that Jesus repeats this over and over, and also in other places in the Gospel, but non-Catholics deny it is necessary for eternal life. I don't know how much clearer it could be. Jesus lost thousands of followers when he originally said this, but he never retracted it and said it was just symbolic in order to bring people back to his ministry.
This is but only one example of how evangelicals make up their own theology then change the meanings in the Bible to suit their own doctrines which they invented. I could give you a dozen examples, but that would take too long.
@@finaldays1455 : If Jesus was speaking figuratively, then why did he repeat the part about "this is my body and this is my blood" about 10 times? Why did he not say he was just using a metaphor? And why did the early Christian under St. Paul practice the Eucharist EXACTLY the same way we Catholics do it today?
(1 Cor. 11 : 26-29) "For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves."
There can't be more than the 'One True Church' and it certainly isn't the Mormons, a modern construct of human origin. God, through Our Lord Jesus Christ founded the Catholic Church as the One, Holy, Catholic Church. 'Catholic' means 'Universal' and that is what it is. So many 'churches' have sprung up around the world claiming to proclaim the truth, but have no God given authority to do so.
They won't tell you about the Second Anointing.
1.7k are Mormons who wont research their own religion.
One of them already did. Worth the read. cesletter.org/Letter-to-a-CES-Director.pdf
Im sure that isnt the case and you dont need to be mean about it. The reason people disliked it was probably because it is suggesting that we are decieving people, when me and the majority of mormons i know do not hide this kind of thing, so it is unfair and not true to say that we try to decieve people, because the majority dont. and the majority dont say we are the same as cathlics because we arent, we are very different.
most mormons probs know all these things. but it is because of the fact he is suggesting we decieve people that has probs caused mormons to dislike it
THANK YOU Reese Forsberg i am a teenage mormon who can not tell a lie and I know what i'm talking about. We love to share the gospel and why would we keep it to ourselves when we want to share it

The most honest name for the Mormon Church is “The Church of Satan’s Brother of Latter Day Satan’s Brothers and Sisters” .... that way the world would know the false entity Mormons actually believe in.... also that name would not offend any Mormon because it is in perfect harmony with Mormon doctrine! Wake up! You’re in a cult and you don’t even know it... I truly pray God will give you “eyes to see and ears to hear” in HIS name Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏 God Bless ❤️✝️😍
Tally Shippen so then tell the truth about how for the first 150 years of Mormon history.... millions and millions of Mormons (including me) acted like we were slicing our throats, chest and bowls open in the Mormon temples... and while acting like we were killing ourselves we chanted “I would suffer my life to be taken”!! That was not even taken out of the temple ceremony until 1990!!! So sick... tell the truth about how joseph smith lied to all the Mormon church and the surrounding community that he had over 38 wives ... some young teenagers... one only 14 when he was 36! Some mother daughter combos ... some sister combos ... some actually still married to their (still living) first husbands!! ... tell the truth about how the Mormon “jesus” is Satan’s. Brother. Stop parroting your false prophets and apostles whitewashed, covered up deceiving, and out right lies about Mormonism’s real history! If you and the false prophets and apostles were actually honest they would name the Mormon Church an honest name.... the most honest name for the Mormon Church is “The Church of Satan’s Brother of Latter Day Satan’s Brothers and Sisters”. That way the world would know the false entity Mormons actually believe in... Also... that name would not offend any Mormon because it is in perfect harmony with Mormon doctrine! Your in a Cult and you don’t even know if... I truly pray God will Bless you with “eyes to see and ears to hear” in HIS name Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏 God Bless ❤️✝️😇

When I was taking classes to become Catholic I was shocked by how many things Joseph Smith got from the Catholic church. He just called them by different names.
That's because protestants didn't exist unto 1500. Prior to that it was only the true catholic church that Jesus established. We have 2000 years of church history no one else can say that. Protestants are apostates and anyone else who is not a catholic is an apostate.
@@KyrieEleisonMaranatha Catholicism did not come about until hundreds of years after the first church was started. Christians have always been, since the time of Christ. If you took the time to read the Bible, you would know that the true, original church was nothing like Catholicism.

cyprian of carthage wrote this in 251 a.d.
"[After quoting Matthew 16:18f; John 21:15ff]...On him [Peter] He builds the Church, and to him He gives the command to feed the sheep; and although He assigned a like power to all the Apostles, 👉🏻yet he founded a single Chair,👈🏻 and He established by His own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed, the others were that also which Peter was; 👉🏻 *but a primacy is given to Peter👈🏻, whereby it is made clear that there is but ONE CHURCH AND ONE CHAIR* So too, all are shepherds, and the flock is shown to be one, fed by all the Apostles in single-minded accord. 👉🏻 *If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he imagine that he still holds the faith? If he desert the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he still be confident that he is in the Church* 👈🏻 (Cyprian, THE UNITY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH [first edition] 4, c. AD 251)
That's 251 a.d. right there 👆🏼
Ive always found it interesting that a person of one particular faith finds solace in picking apart another faith. How insecure in your faith do you have to be to try and tear down another faith that does so much good for the world. Im so glad you made this video. It shows me first hand just how insecure the catholic faith is about other faiths.
It has nothing to do with finding solace. It has everything to do with mormons not being honest and up front about their beliefs. We just think people should have as much information as possible so they can make as informed of a decision as possible. The fact that mormons ask you to be baptized after the second Meeting says everything. That's like asking a woman to marry on the 2nd date. You don't even know the person.
So it has nothing to do with insecurity. That's a false judgment on your part. I don't think anyone is threatened by the mormon religion lol.
You have a very nice way on presenting information ☺️
a very nice way OF presenting information
No their not separate gods. Heavenly Father, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost are separate and only Heavenly Father is god. We don’t nessiserily believe that we will become gods... and girls and boys would be rulers if that happened. We are not sexist or racist or anything. And no. We dont believe that black people are evil or anything. We dont believe that black people are evil anymore. That’s what we believed in like, 1762 or something. Polygamy was dumb, and that stuff like, faded... and we never did it or believed it and then it became official way later. Ok, and almost all of my family (we’re Mormons) like, all of my grandparents, parents, nieces, nephews, aunts, and uncles all drink coffee or soda with caffeine sometimes, or all time. My dad drinks coffee every morning. Some Mormons dont drink that stuff, and that’s cool. But its not against the religion or anything. We dont believe caffeine is evil. We dont believe that john is still on the earth. We just are like, “oh... i wonder if john the aposile is on the earth haha😂”.......so ya. But thanks for trying to educate people on Mormonism!
@@jliefn I would encourage you to actually do some homework your dates are wrong 1762? We weren't even a country then and Mormonism wasn't even a blip on the radar. And polygamy the practice of polygamy is still on the books in Mormonism you may not be practicing it but it's still a thing in Mormonism and in fact you can't get into the kingdom of heaven without being spiritually sealed to three wives. That would be polygamy. And yes Mormons do believe that you get to have your own planet and you get to be a God over that planet because I was taught that all through my upbringing and I was in mainstream Mormonism. Also they believe that God is not actually God God but the god that rules over this planet and he was once a man. Also Brigham Young taught the Adam God Theory to where he said through revelation that God came down and was Adam from Adam and Eve. And that was taught throughout the church 50 years after Brigham Young died so if the men of the church were receiving Revelation from God why would God let that slip for 50 years. And in your book of Mormon it talks about the light skin in the dark skin and how God cursed dark-skinned people in the book of Mormon and he lifted the curse later on and they became "White and delightful". So for you to say that the church isn't racist is a flat-out lie yourself personally may not be racist but the church is sitting on top of racist doctrine and has never taken accountability for it. And in fact because of the racism in the church and there was a priest hold band on black men up until 1978 and they only changed that and they claimed it was a revelation but they only changed it after they were getting pushed back from the outside world because of the civil Rights movement.
@@jliefn the Mormon website disagrees with you. It's specifically says they are three different beings and three different gods. We have the quote in our description section below if you're interested
@@madmonkee6757 except he isn't telling the whole truth and in some cases downright dishonest in the LDS info he presents.

This makes me confused and sad for people who believe that Mormonism is good.
