Hey All! Jessie here. I just filmed the PART TWO to this video and it is fully sourced with LDS documents. Please go check it out! (Especially those of you who have questioned the validity of the points made in this video.) Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/EF9lIlK9j8k/видео.html
Hey Jessie, got any sources for this video? I was wondering because in the first minute and a half, that you said about a half dozen claims with no factual backup behind them. Where are the sources for this video, I would love to help clear up any confusion that you may have.You made all of these claims, but I have no idea where they are coming from.
@@gingerbrettman5665 You just replied to the comment with the direct link to the video where it is all sourced! I did a part 2 to this video that was published today and every single point is sourced out with LDS sources.
My friend is a former Mormon and she hob-nobed with "Mormon royalty" in the seventies..... She dated an Osmond, rode horses with apostle Boyd K. Packer's kids, was a winner in the Miss Provo and Miss Utah Pageants, ran for Miss USA, was Belle of the Y Princess, and did her PhD and taught at BYU. She knows all there is to know about Mormonosm, and she says this video is 100% TRUE and accurate! And my friend would LOVE to go on this podcast and help support Jesse---because Jesse is telling the Truth!
Married a mormon woman in 1998. I know this religion as I took lessons early on which made me decide it was false. Just this week my family decided to leave the church and you helped me open the eyes of stout mormons. Thank you for your help.
I have been a member for 2yrs and have found so many things wrong with the church that doesn't add up with the Bible. This yr I am getting back with my Christian ways and moving away from the Mormon beliefs
When I used to live in California, I went to a ward where people were kind, sociable and friendly to me. But one day, when I was at a grocery store, I went to a check out line behind a lady who goes to the ward and is usually kind to me at church. I called out her name with a greeting, no reaction from her. I tapped her on the shoulders with a greeting along with her name, no reaction from her. Then when I saw her at church the following Sunday, she greeted me with a smile. I decided to look at her as if I didn't know her, and didn't react to her.
When i was in a dark place, 2 missionaries knocked on my door they were the sweetest girls from america, i met with them several times, they wanted me to be baptised!!! I started to read the book of mormon.. but had never read old or new testament. So i started to read them first.... at this time id only jus accepted that there was a god!!!!!!! Something about the book of mormon jus didnt feel right even then... so i googled and found out most this stuff that was in the video. Jesus is the way.. no sequels.
@Taiwan92Abarth I'm a former Member, actually. If Moroni's challenge only has 1 answer and that answer is God is real and the church is true then that is an unfalsifiable claim. I received the opposite feeling about the BOM than yourself. Why is my experience less valid?
From the frying pan into the fire. If you really have a personal relationship with Jesus, you don't need a middle man. You are trying, but you are not free to worship as you were intended to until you can do it one on one, without someone in between telling you how you should be doing it. You know in your heart how to do it without interference or instruction Feel God in your heart and welcome Him all on your own. That is a relationship.
@@543US21 why do you assume l or he requires a middleman other than Christ Jesus. Speaking for myself, l do not need a middle man. I place my trust in Christ alone. He is my living hope.
I am currently working for a mormon family…They have been tryng their best to drag me to their church…At first they asked the missionaries to come share the gospel with me…When they did i was so drawn to what they were saying and believed them…They have a way of manipulating and getting into your heard…The second time they came they had their bible with them and a copy for me…From the moment they left i had a lot of questions and doubts about their teachings because they were contradicting with what i have learnt from the bible and so i went on a 3 day fast…That is when the Holy Spirit spoke to me..I thank God i ddnt give in to temptation because their approach will make you believe in whatever they teaching…Very sweet,kind people you wouldn’t second guess them…I asked them to stop calling me and they must not bother coming to give me lessons..Its been weeks now and they are still texting me and tryng to manipulate me…Even the family im working for is busy trying to lure me to their gospel each and every day…I know i am in the right path with God and i will hold on to him forever
Had Mormon girls come to my home and tried to convert me to Mormonism.Something felt off and I prayed to God for discernment and was led to your videos....
OMG!!! Same here same here!! The boys were so sweet and their talk was so smart that I felt we were the same category of christians but still something was off I felt like there were so much hidden things
@Taiwan92Abarth my profession involves deconstructing brainwashed cult members. LDS bears all the characteristics of a cult, it's very similar to Scientology in that it's polytheistic and members believe they can 'work' their way upwards and eventually become "Gods".
@Taiwan92Abarth Calling somebody ignorant is very childish. And second, you're in a cult! You're blind! Poor you! You are certainly brainwashed. Jesus is no brother of Satan. There is no polygamy in Heaven. Sex in Heaven??? NOT TRUE! Joseph Smith is a fraud! He took orders from Satan. Oh yeah! He had contact with the Devil. Mormons have been decieved, and are doomed for Hell. I'm glad I'm not a Mormon! I once attended a meeting. I'm never going back! The book of Mormon replaces the King James Bible. Any book that speaks other than the Bible, is Satan talk. You missed the point! I said I belong to no religion. I only believe in God, not man! What's also misleading is that Jesus came where the Aztecs were, and called it the New Jerusalem. No where does that say in the Bible! The New Jerusalem is yet to come. Not of this world!
I became a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints last April... but I’m very skeptical and am seriously thinking of leaving the church. I was a Christian before and need my real God and Savior back
April it is never too late to do what you know is right, to follow the truth and to come to know the one true God who loves you, created you in His image and desires a relationship with you. Call upon the name of Jesus to be saved, through repentance for your sin and faith in Christ's death on the cross, knowing that this was done as an atonement for your sins so that you might be saved! You are saved through faith alone, by God's grace. There is power in the resurrection of Jesus.. He is alive! Can I share some verses with you that clearly show Salvation? I will share them in the next comment. Also, feel free to email me so we can talk further and help you find a solid Bible preaching church in your area. Itsmejessieo@outlook.com
The Bible says: 1 John 5:11-12 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. The one who has the Son has this eternal life; the one who does not have the Son of God does not have this eternal life. Isaiah 59:2 But your sinful acts have alienated you from your God; your sins have caused him to reject you and not listen to your prayers. Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. All have sinned and fall short of the glory (the perfect holiness) of God, Rom. 3:23 There is no one righteous, not even one, Rom. 3:9-10 Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; it is not of works, so that no one can boast. Titus 3:5-7 he saved us, not by works of righteousness that we have done but on the basis of his mercy, through the washing of the new birth and the renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us in full measure through Jesus Christ our Savior. And so, since we have been justified by his grace, we become heirs with the confident expectation of eternal life. Romans 4:1-5 What then shall we say that Abraham, our ancestor according to the flesh, has discovered regarding this matter? For if Abraham was declared righteous by the works of the law, he has something to boast about (but not before God). For what does the scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” Now to the one who works, his pay is not credited due to grace but due to obligation. But to the one who does not work, but believes in the one who declares the ungodly righteous, his faith is credited as righteousness. Romans 1:4 who was appointed the Son-of-God-in-power according to the Holy Spirit by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 4:25 He was given over because of our transgressions and was raised for the sake of our justification. 2 Corinthians 5:21 God made the one who knew no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we would become the righteousness of God. 1 Peter 3:18 Because Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, to bring you to God, by being put to death in the flesh but by being made alive in the spirit. John 1:12 But to all who have received him--those who believe in his name--he has given the right to become God's children John 3:16-18 For this is the way God loved the world: he gave his one and only Son that everyone who believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world should be saved through him. The one who believes in Him is not condemned. The one who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God. This means we must each come to God the same way: (1) as a sinner who recognizes his sinfulness, (2) realizes no human works can result in salvation, and (3) relies totally on Christ alone by faith alone for our salvation. If you have just trusted in Christ, you need to learn about your new life and how to walk with the Lord. I would LOVE to talk to you more and to send you resources that will help you grow in your understanding of God and your new relationship with Him. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints teaches a false God, a false Jesus Christ and false prophets. I have this ministry here on RUclips and I expose all of the problems and lies in Mormonism through MANY more videos than this one. I encourage you to watch them and to study these issues for yourself. Becoming a Christian is the best decision of your life! :) Sounds like you were once in a Christian church but then got led into the LDS church. I highly encourage you to seek out the truth and details behind Mormonism and it's history and doctrine and to cling to the truths of the Bible.
@@aprilmckinney6856 Blessings to you! I'm here if you ever want to talk more. I'll pray right now that you will find a great church with solid Biblical doctrine and that you will seek the one true God and truly find Him and know Him and that you will come to have eternal security as a born again Christian. ❤ I believe you when you say you love Jesus. Jesus is the best thing to ever happen to me. I love that you are searching and admire you for speaking up about it.
My favorite LDS catch phrases: 'It's not secret, it's sacred' 'Put your questions on the shelf' 'Swearing is like a cockroach in the sundae' 'Keep sweet and pray'
@Vincent Regimbal There is a difference between secret and sacred. Because we don't talk about sacred things, people like to exaggerate and say that it is secret.

@@φαρμακεία-πρωταρχικός Ah.. another ticked off person concerning MY religion... NOT YOURS!! I am sure you have told many people about what Books you read have to say about things. Books teach subjects to people when they can't spend the time gathering everyone around the campfire. My Book tells me many things. Other Books tell me many more things. And I am the one who gets to decide if the Book teaches things that are true... or things that are false. Not sure what your problem is but it is always nice that I just got you so riled up that you have to call me names. I know you are but what am I??? LOLOLOLOL
@@MrNirom1 “Oh bad man use bad word, and hurt my feelings, bad man must be wrong.” Using an argument from ignorance fallacy, and circular reasoning just further proves my point. You have no evidence to support the ladder points of the cult you hold so near-and-dear. Those of us who don’t just take the first thing we read at face value, and apply it to our everyday lives as fact tend to be more reasonable then those who lack the courage to research anything that conflicts with their singular understanding of reality. Learn to think for yourself, and stop relying on religion to think for you.
@@φαρμακεία-πρωταρχικός LOL you just think you know everything. I have researched my faith for the last 45 years I have been in it. There is nothing that anyone has come up with to show me anything different than what I believe. You have no idea what my life has been. But you are so arrogant you think you have it all figured out. You will put my religion down without revealing what your religion is. And I have noticed that you have not said one thing worth while that would even make me stop and consider you are right. If you can't control what you have to say...; then you are a bad man. A very immature one. You certainly didn't hurt my feelings. LOL Why don't you show us all how really smart you are and point out all those "ladder" points. hehehe
@@rbwinn3 As a person who was adopted by a Mormon family, and who "was" a Mormon for over 10 years, I can tell you that you are the flaming liar, and I would call you a liar in your face while DARING you to do something about it. Wanna try me?
@@rbwinn3 Oh, and here is a FACT. Joseph Smith WILL NEVER be a "God" to make planets to rule over. And neither will you since there is only one Creator and since there will ALWAYS only be one Creator. Deal with it, there's NOTHING you or anyone else can do to change this fact.
@@richardstorm4603 Well, what I plan to do is wait until I am resurrected and let Jesus Christ decide what I am going to do. You concerned Christians all think you are sent here to be judges of mankind. That comes from praying to a god without body, parts or passions. Satan does not have a body or parts. He does have a passion, which is hatred for the people who pray to him.
My husband was born in the Mormon church. He became a Christian about 15 years ago. His mom, who is a very nice lady, but under the Mormon spell, kept sending missionaries to our home. I was the one usually home & would nicely say “ We are happy in our church, he is not home” They started trying to go behind my back to get ahold of him. Thankfully we moved last year & are in a gated community.
Christopher Foote Let me interpret for you: His mommy and daddy were Mormons. When he was born his family was Mormon. He was raised in the Mormon church. Or said succinctly: he was born mormon.
@@christopherfoote4643 hayy! We know what she Mean about being born mormon its about born and grown Up with brainwash mormonism endoctrinement process For 8 years before get baptise.Peoples are not dumb .we get it ,Nice try but your Little sect Tactic don't work here.
Christopher Foote My friend Christopher. It does matter because A) the Book of Mormon contradicts God’s revelation. B) we care for you guys and believe that you deserve better than living a life in a false teaching and doctrine. If you choose to remain Mormon then God will still be the judge. The difference is, if you join orthodox (correct teaching) Christianity then you will discover a relationship with God that you never experienced before.
I left the Mormon church almost two years ago and am now attending a non-denominational Christian church. Having said that, I think it's important to remember that just because a Mormon said something at some point, does not mean that it is what all Mormons believe today. Many of the things that were shared in this video are simply not at all what I was taught in my 42 years of weekly attendance at the Mormon church. I realize there are probably references for all of the "facts" that were shared here, but that does not mean this is what all Mormons believe today. Mormons throughout its young history have said all kinds of things that are not considered to be the doctrine of the church today. I also know many Mormons who hold personal beliefs that do not necessarily reflect what is always said at the pulpit. This makes the whole conversation endlessly complicated. It is my hope that we can all offer one another the same grace that we EACH so desperately need in this life.
I understand fully what you're saying. Yes, I can back up every claim made in the video and I do admit that yes, some of the things are not taught today (but were at some point by a "prophet!") so I can't just dismiss the past stuff and pretend it wasn't taught. Most things stated are current beliefs, though, and are not disclosed unless you search it out and learn it for yourself. So many secrets. So much kept hidden. Even people who join the church usually have NO IDEA what is done in the temples or that the goal is to become a god one day. Most people are unfamiliar with Joseph and Brigham and other's polygamy and contradicting teachings about who God is.... etc!! And this info needs to be made known. I also hear you when you say to extend grace to one another but I simply cannot extend grace to people who are living in ignorance (many willingly) while they are serving an absolutely false god/gods. I need to proclaim the truth! As a Bible-believing Christian who loves Jesus and wants the world to come to know Him as their personal Savior, I have to expose false beliefs and proclaim the truth of the Word of God and I want to share the one and only true God and make Him known.
To be honest, I wasn't looking for a video such as this but the title caught my attention. Reading a lot of these comments, I have to say I agree with you. I had been a Mormon for over 30 yrs & I wasn't taught a lot of the things in this video & I have never heard of families not being able to be with their family members if they were excommunicated from the church. But hey, it seems a lot of church leaders in a lot of different denominations have never even read the Bible. So, the way I look at it is, if you want to be close to God, read the Bible, gain a close relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus and don't sweat the small stuff. We can cant self righteousness till the cows come home and point the finger at any Church and go on a fault finding campaign but that will not make us better people. Just saying... probably good to ask questions and choose your lifestyle with care and thoughtfulness.
i don't want to detract from jessie's comment, but i do have a question for any mormon. how do you know what the true teachings of present day mormonism is? if you can't get it from reading the standard works, or elders quorum lesson manual, or sunday school manual, or the official online mormon website? how do you know for yourself what the true mormon doctrine is, and h ow do you know that jessie is not repeating official modern mormon doctrine? if there is no written documentation for what you believe, aren't you then in danger of leading yourself and others astray with false teachings?
@@longnamenocansayy My take is, if you can't find the info by reading the official works, manuals & etc. then you have to consider the frame of reference. Then too, look at all the changes in the Catholic church. People don't question the changes so it shouldn't be surprising that the Mormon church makes changes. I believe there is such a thing as spiritual growth so maybe... It's why we need to keep studying the Bible. God opens our eyes when we're ready and able to understand.
Julia Dawn Olson Just to throw my two cents in; I come from a very heavily influenced Mormon home and my mother believes every single point made in this video. The bottomline here, in my opinion, is not whether all Mormons believe the LDS church doctrine or have even heard of most of these things. It’s that this church was not founded on biblical principals and biblical account of Christ Jesus. Which makes it a false Christ (Matthew 24:24) and because they think works and baptism and repentance saves they will be cast out (Matthew 7:21-23) Ignorance is not the same as innocence and we should be mindful of what people who speak “Christianese” say. That’s my take
I'm an ex mormon and a lot of the contradictions, awful past evils of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young are never taught. I didn't know that the star symbol was satanic until this video. You live in a bubble that brainwashes you and I stayed out of terror of going to hell if I left. I suffer from Scrupulous OCD (constant obessive thoughts that one wrong move will send you to hell) and the Mormon church completely messed me up to the point I wanted to commit suicide because I was going to hell anyway. Since leaving I still have the OCD but being a Christian is healing me not destroying me. God is merciful and is my Savior who will not push me to hell for being human. Leaving the church was the hardest and most freeing thing ever.
sometimes there is healing from intrusive thoughts. sometimes it's a poisonous plague in the brain that you can't get rid of. i had it for 60 years because of something in my childhood. for me it was just taking name of jesus and rebuking the evil spirits that had been tormenting for so many years. but not everyone has the same thing. a lady at work has terrible intrusive thoughts that drive her to thoughts of suicide. so i know it happens to a lot of people. i hope for sure you find peace of mind somehow. praise god.
As someone who was adopted by a Mormon family at the age of 9, I can positively tell you that I was taught most of the stuff that she is talking about during Sunday school and also during 'Sacrament" (same thing as listening to your pastor but it's different speakers for the Mormon church). I'm so glad that my mom got out of this church and that she didn't push me to get out, too. If she would have pushed me, I would have not listened to her. Instead, she let me come to her to ask her why she left. She told me and showed me how she was fooled into believing in a pagan religion after she was raised a Baptist. Before I was adopted at age 9, I believed in Jesus Christ, but I really didn't understand Christianity. So, it was easy for me to get sucked into that pagan religion of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (BIG contradiction in that name). I've been out since 1993 after I joined the military and got stationed in Germany. Oh, and here is a FACT. Joseph Smith WILL NEVER be a "God" to make planets to rule over. And neither will you or anyone else since there is only one Creator and since there will ALWAYS only be one Creator. Deal with it, there's NOTHING you or anyone else can do to change this fact.
@richardstorm4603 In 1974 I joined the Army and was stationed in Germany until I got out in March of 1979. It was there that I went to Germany as a Catholic and left as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. One thing I learned was that the facts I thought were facts were not. I now know I have the correct facts. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Lord's Church upon this earth. It was created for the humans who would be sent to this planet right before the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ to prepare the people of this world for the changes that will be made for the millennium. What is the major sign to mankind that the 2nd coming will happen soon? Here is a revelation from Joseph Smith to the world: “I have asked of the Lord concerning His coming; and while asking the Lord, He gave a sign and said, ‘In the days of Noah I set a bow in the heavens as a sign and token that in any year that the bow should be seen the Lord would not come; but there should be seed time and harvest during that year: but whenever you see the bow withdrawn, it shall be a token that there shall be famine, pestilence, and great distress among the nations, and that the coming of the Messiah is not far distant.’” The bow has been seen this year. And remember this... it does not have to rain to see the rainbow. You can often see it when spraying water on the lawn on a sunny day. I find it funny that you can state a FACT yet because it is a future event you are proclaiming yourself to be a prophet and declaring that what Joseph Smith will or won't be. The only FACT your presented was that you "believe" Joseph Smith will never be a God. And it is amazing to me that you say "planets" to rule over, when I would say "Galaxy" to rule over. Ever notice when looking at Galaxies from the Hubble Telescope... that you can not see the center of any of them because the center of all of them is lit with a light so bright? In the center of each Galaxy is where the Glory of the God of that place shines forth. That is what I believe. So you thinking that any one who becomes like our Father in Heaven only rules over a few planets is just silly.
People rarely hear that M-O-R-M-O-N is one letter from M-O-R-O-N. It is believed that Joseph Smith had a hatred of religion and was a con man, so he chose to add the second M. Mormons claim that they believe the Holy Bible, but the Book of Mormon and their other books contradict the Holy Bible many times. When people are talked to about becoming Mormon, many of them ask questions that the young people don't know the answers to, so they research to answer and then find out many wrongs in their religion, then some quit.
@chrisspiller4443 the fact that Evangelicals give a pass at nonsense like calling us Morons just shows the truth behind the so-called Christianity of protestant Evangelicals
Thanks for your comment! I really appreciate it. I want to encourage your family to seek out the true God of the Bible. I know that coming out of a belief system that is false in so many ways may cause you to feel angry or exhausted or just over it... But I have many, many commenters here on my channel as well as great friends who have left the LDS church and have found truth within Biblical Christianity. They are now living lives of freedom, hope, joy and peace knowing truth and having a personal relationship with the true Jesus Christ. If you would like to talk further, I am here. And I will be praying for you and your decisions ahead. Much love, Jessie
John Lee who said I’m staying out? I’m in so I can lead others to truth! Now shut up and get back to your job! Nelson needs a new suit! Guess who’s gonna buy it for him?
I was once visited by two fine young missionaries. I was invited to join the church. I asked them for help in suderstanding the Book of Mormon. I asked, "Do I understand that the Book of Mormon is the latest information from God for the human rase?" "Yes." I asked them to help me understand Mosiah 13:16-19. "Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy... The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God." They had no answer for me. I asked them why they did not follow the "latest" information from God for the human race. Answer, "We would get in trouble if we did that." I told them that my church followed that commandment, how could I join a church that only followed 9 out of 10 commandments. I prayed for them.
Another mind blowing fact is that missionaries are tremendously pressured to baptize as many people as possible. In fact, missionaries make use of physiology techniques to deceive people and achieve their daily goals. The LDS church is a billionaire global organization which promotes missionary work and marriages in order to increase its membership and therefore its profits.
Here's a mind blowing fact. Tricking people into joining doesn't work, and is counter productive, and if a mission president can't see that, he should be released from his calling. Missionaries teach the gospel and the Book of Mormon. No psychological tricks, no deceptions. Also, the Church does not need money. The Church has plenty of money. So, that blows up the theory that we need members so they give more money.
@@lindalds I was a full time missionary! I know how things work! At that time I didn't realize I was doing such things cuz I was brainwashed. It's been 5 years since then and now my mind is clear to see things people like you do not want to see. When it comes to the money, how do you thing the church made its fortune? It's obvious. Missionary work, temples and marriages are investments foe the chuch, however, they sell those to its members and investigators as blessings, salvation, exaltation and happiness.
People sadly get drawn in by the awesome fellowship that they experience and it is no wonder that “feelings” are so strong to join. But start asking the wrong questions and not accepting the bogus answers and see how long that fellowship lasts. Sinners don’t get to be accepted in the LDS church while Christians understand that church is specially for the sinners, all of us.
Not true. Everyone sins sometimes, however small. That is only true if they commit something horrible like rape, and don't every say sorry and repent for it.
Bro I was literally taught about Polgamy when I was 14-15 in Institute and was curious to know more and context and ask and was given source material from religious teachers, and became informed about anything I wanted to learn and was given historical references and learned alot and prayed about it and understood some of the possible purposes. But I was never denied answers rather given references and encouraged to pray and study.
am a recent convert...and within 4 months in already a 'jacked' Mormon. Why? They're as bad as the catholic church when it comes to hiding child predators. One ex-bishop has a pizza place, ONLY hires young teenage girls. His wife hired me. He was angry. I SAW him being inappropriate with teen girls. I went to the bishop and was immediately gas-lit. Likes it NOT effing 2023. Then i was fired. These schmucks are PATHETIC!
I rented a basement from a Mormon lady for a while. I went to the ward or stake or something a couple of times. A couple of missionaries came out and talked to me and you are right. it seems like we hit it off so well. They wanted to baptize me right away. Oh my goodness. But I got busy and started researching everything on the Internet. When I came across the part where they think that God the father is a human being, that was it for me. I went to her and said”You believe that God is a man? So who created God?” She said to God was created by another God who was in turn created by another God before him, etc., ad infinitum. I told her, “when you find the first God who was not created by any other god, That’s the God I’ll be worshiping!” I mean I guess I’m supposed to be merciful and compassionate, but really what I want to say is “how dumb can you be?”
You don't know even the first things of "The Word of God", but yet you DEMAND to know who the FIRST being was? That's like not even knowing how to count from 1 to 10, but yet you REFUSE to believe in numbers until you are told "who invented the first number"?- And you ask "How dumb can you be?"
I need help with prayer my wife won't leave the mormon church shes been there 7 years and I recently left few months ago I was there for 5 years but I never believed in there gospel or there book. I was going to be with her and my son but I dicided to leave because the holy spirit helped me to break out of there. I still have problems with my wife every day and she don't believe in the holybible or any Christian church she gets mad when I go to my church on Sunday and all week I try and read the bible daily. I'm sad because she wants to lead my kids to her false religion and don't want to listen to me. So please brothers and sister can you pray for my wife norma lindan. Thank you God bless you all.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Apparently she is has never been to an LDS Church. Because most of what she is say is absolute BS. Love how she is like “I tell my Mormon friends and they never heard any of this”. Yes, because you are making up or repeating rumors you heard that don’t exist 🤦🏼♀️
I've been to the Sacrament meeting and classes afterwards. In recent months. I have LDS sources for every single point in this same video that I redid.. ruclips.net/video/EF9lIlK9j8k/видео.html
My Mormon Mission... God forgive me. So I was raised LDS, my father served an LDS mission. Growing up in a small Utah town all of my friends went on missions, but I didn't want to because I felt in my heart that the LDS church was not true. I never believed in Joseph Smith or the BOM. So I went to college, also in Utah. There I met other friends who were confused as to why I wasn't on a mission at the age of 19. I was under so much pressure from my family and friends to go. I was told that I would never get married and that I promised to save people before I was born, but that I would be letting them down if I didn't go. So I caved in and went. I never read the BOM until I was in the MTC. I still felt that the church was not true and that the BOM was invented. On the mission I followed all the rules to the exact detail (it's my personality). But every time I taught about good ol' Joe and his book I felt horrible and never believed it. I feel like the mission was an incredibly aggressive sales pitch for Mormonism. I was required to keep statistical data that was reported to the HQ every week. It's honestly like trying to sell a used car with no tires. But I grinned and bore the two year event and "returned with honor." Now I feel really bad because I drove people away from the true Christ (if he actually exists). So God please forgive me.
I know we spoke in a comment under one of my other videos... can I encourage you to read the book of John in the Bible? And also Romans? Just pick it up and read and seek God. Let Him show you exactly who He is. He is absolutely a God of forgiveness and you have always seen that Mormimonism was a lie... so because you are now free from that, my encouragement to you is simply to seek out God and find Him through His written Word, the Bible. If you read the New Testament like a child... just let it speak to you so you can discern for yourself who God is and what is truth. The RUclips video on Micah Wilder and his testimony while on his LDS mission is very powerful. I'm praying for you, Jeremy! God loves you so much.
@@johnlee1352 You're right. I never read the Book of Mormon before my mission. I should have clarified to state from cover to cover. I read portions in church, seminary, family home evening etc... Do you have to eat an entire pie before you know it's bad? Thanks for the personal attack. Peace be with you.
@@johnlee1352 Why are you making this personal. My intellectual reasoning is in part thanks to BYU where I earned my masters degree. It was also through reason that I learned the LDS Church is not true. I invite you with love to do the same. God bless.
Hi Jessie, you are very informative. I grew up in a Reorgaized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints family home. ( Not Mormon but shared some main beliefs. ) I Believed our church was the only way to salvation and that every one else is going to hell and that the Catholic church was the church of the devil. I was a non active member for years because I kept silent. To make a long story short, at the age of 40 I came out of my bubble when I started asking questions and was not happy with the answers I received. I explored other Faiths. It says in the Bible that God wants us to question everything because in doing so we will find the truth. Wow has my journey of faith changed since coming out of the bubble. I have so many stories of how God has blessed me and those I love. All I need is my Bible. God's salivation is for everyone, not just a chosen few. There is good and bad in all religion........but I also believe more than anything what my Grandfather told me. He said salvation is not how many times you go to church......or what church you go to......it's how you live your life, how you treat your next door neighbor, our actions and the kind of person you are in your heart. God loves everyone. There is good and bad in everyone. I would also like to point out that in the Bible it says why satan was kicked out of heaven and who he is/was. The Bible are the only words I need. I pray you will be blessed in your search for the truth. You are definitely on the right track. Thanks for listening or reading my post. Peace Out.
My answer should not sound harsh to you as it is difficult to show how I really mean it by writing. I mean it with love. Sorry you´re wrong! You think your way is the same as for example the Christian way. But the way with Jesus Christ is unique. He is the way, the truth, the life and no one cometh to the father but through him. It´s about our sin before God. That made the gap between God and men. (the spiritual and also bodily dead).True repentence is what God wants and always wanted from us. He loves us but will judge correctly. As everybody is somehow guilty he would have to judge all of us. The wages of sin is death. This is also what you might have heared about heaven and hell. I know that in some famos east religions they talk rather of reincarnation and drop hell. But hell is real. So God in his love for us send his only begotten son that he would pay our wages. He suffered and died instead of us. When you truly repend and accept Jesus Christ as your savior and give your live to him in a serious prayer, you will be free of sin (wages of..) immediately and will receive his holy spirit which also means that you will be bornagain. A bornagain Christian. You would notice the difference. Please then (go on ) praying to Got in Jesus Name or to Jesus Christ and read the bible. It´s not about being rich and always of promised good health. It´s not about energies. It´s not about wishes to be fulfilled. Its not about meditating and hearing inner voices (I had my experiences... with "Angels", "Jesus" and others) Find out. It´s really serious. Please find out. There are also many false preachers. It´s not about (trying) to be good. It´s about accepting his salvation. But , as I am not native english speaking I don´t know many, but you may listen to Paul Washer, John Lennox, ...and of course going on reading the bible. Please excuse me if I misunderstood something. May God bless you.
Am exmormon. Almost all of this is true. I can't say all of it is true because there were things I didn't even know about, but theologically speaking make sense with the church gospel.
I started investigating the church over a year ago. It fell apart really fast. The CES letter sealed the deal. Christianity followed soon after. So glad to be free of those cults.
Although you know how thrilled I am you are free of Mormonism, you know from past comments that my heart breaks that you have also rejected Christianity. You don't need to go into details on why or anything, as we've spoken in the past. But please know that you are still in my prayers RB. ❤
"It's not secret, its sacred". "The church is perfect, its members are not". "We are a peculiar people". "Doubt your doubts". "Its a higher law, we cannot understand as mortals"....blah, blah, blah. The Mormons have a lot of canned answers at the ready when you bring up questionable stuff. Anytime you challenge someone, expect the canned answers to come out.
It's Me Jessie Oh and when I said whom the Lord call He qualifies, I meant those who are call by the authority of the Holy Priesthood. If you are not called to preach by that Priesthood authority you should not speak at all.
Burke Shields No, Our Heavenly Father is a God of order, he has one faith, one , baptism, and one church. He call women and men but that priesthood to preach and teach the Gospel. No man and that includes women take to this honor unto himself but he that was ordained as was Aaron. And how was Aaron ordained? By the laying on of hands by those who are in authority to administer the ordinances of the Gospel.
❤ thank you for sharing and standing for TRUTH. I was raised mormon and now born again. I've got many loved ones and friends who are mormon and I feel God has called me to be a witness to them as well as wherever the Holy Ghost leads.
Truth is it’s a Masonic gang stalking cult that get their blessings from meth ghettos also run by masons They make mentally challenged people feel special then have them act stupid to normal people of society
The LDS church has a very beautiful shell but the inside is quite ugly. I was an extremely active member up to a year ago and I loved the church. One day I decided that I would investigate the "rumors" I've heard about the organization and I was completely shocked to learn about the confirmed lies and cover-ups that the leaders have said and done through the years. It's bad guys. A warning, don't buy into the current leaders' lies. The members are super ignorant and most are very apologetic, you are very looked down on if you question the the teachings or history of the church. It saddens me to say that the church can NOT be true and those who don't agree have not done their research. Be brave and go into Sherlock Holmes mode. You will thank me one day. Thank you Jessie for making these videos, God bless!
MATMAN The mormon religion has a dark past but I assume you refer to the church’s current state. Ok I give you one reason among many: The church encourages preteen girls and teenage girls to talk about their masturbation habits with old men behind closed doors. Thats sick and NOT ok.
@@MATMANYT following the mormon false prophets and its religious path killed me. That is ugly. My short version of my testimony is under Sean O'Brien's comment.
What I don't get is if the church is as bad as you say it is, I wonder why since I became a member and began reading the book of mormon and the bible at Church, I've been blessed like never before and have made drastic changes to my life? I have a testimony in jesus Christ and Heavenly father because of my my faith that the church helped me gain.
Paul Schultz This is not reasonable, all good thing come of Christ. In the Bible we find the Savior making this statement to some those who would not believe. “You are of you Father the devil, he was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth because there IS NO TRUTH IN HIM” the devil never supports those who follow him with spiritual gifts, he is not capable. He may give that which will not last, which is temporal thing, but by and by these thing fade away. He cannot enlighten with spiritual truth or make you have feeling like the Holy Ghost, again he is not capable of this kind of love, which love come from our Heavenly Father.
I gave this religion a chance once. I prayed that if the book was "true" for God to send me a sign. I fell asleep reading the book and woke up to a tornado siren (we all had to go to the shelter due to a massive tornado touching the ground). I prayed that if this was the sign to make the tornado go away. The sun and nice day came about 5 mins later. I tell missionaries this when they come visit and they are speechless.
I did all that Mormon stuff including going on a mission… the day I walked off the plane from a mission…got a honorable release and never went back to church…The interesting thing… no one ever called… not even the bishop that just released me. I found out the most important thing, the truth…I was extremely expendable. Bottom line… LDS church is a business. I was played a fool and now I have found true spirituality.
@ Joe Cox. Oh come on Joe. There is much more to the story that what you are telling. I wonder why no one called? Not one person? No one! Wow Joe... this smells awful fishy to me. Honorable release and never went back to church. LOL Something stinks to high heaven.
My step dad verbally and physically abused me most of my life and he was a cop and follows the Mormon faith and when I went to his bishop to ask for help I was told go back and say I’m sorry and obey him with out question
Im sorry that you were so mistreated by your father and those who are meant guide and nurture- that is not Christ-like at all. I hope you are healing now!
@@Kyraaa-rb3vc some days I wonder I’m an emotional train wreck most days do to ptsd anxiety depression anger outbursts plus I’m autistic my own family denies my step dad or the church for that matter we’re wrong for allowing this
@@Kyraaa-rb3vc I haven’t ben back to that church or any church not after the life I’ve led not after I became nothing more then a monster to everything I was once told that I am I ended up becoming homeless and lived out in a desert i have bounced from one side of the country to the other never truly having anyone to call friend or family
I learned of this almost 2 years ago I was devastated, as was my children. My children are the ones that helped me to see the truth and the light. I am thankful to be out of the lds church. I was a member for 32 years. My husband at the time had dementia/Alzheimer's and he died this past November. Going through faith crisis watching my husband passed away and having to come to the realization that everything I believed in was false was extremely hard to bear. I have been sharing the truth to friends that are willing to listen. Have you noticed that when you try to help friends or family see the truth of the lies of this church how angry they become and pull away from you? I remember going through all of that I was so afraid that my whole life was going to come crashing down on me, which it did I went through the process of denial and unbelief. But now that I am free and my eyes are wide open I have never been happier. Thank you for your beautiful videos. It's true that the truth will set you free. You are so lucky to of recognize all of this while you are young. So many years of wasted time in the temple so many wasted hours that I could've been doing something more productive. Such a waste of money paying tithing to a church that I didn't even realize that they were paid men. No more being afraid that if I say anything or do anything that I'm not worthy to be in the presence of God. I know different now. And I'm not afraid.
RED VELVET CUPCAKE and the truth will set you free. I am not a Mormon, but I see so many testimonies from ex Mormons that say what your church is all about. My God is not secretive..... I have a relationship with Jesus Christ and it is all FREE. Why do you get so defensive?
@@colleenbaida7690 I've heard alot of ex Mormon statements aswell. I say statements instead of testimony because a testimony is a spiritual witness of the Gosple of Jesus Christ that is given by The Holy Ghost. However I've heard there statements aswell. And every single one of them, is a lie. So far that I've heard. They don't tell the truth or they tell half's truths and mix it with their lies or their own understanding.
Clayton Knight Your statement is exactly what the Mormon church teaches. You have no human thought process and if you believe differently it is a lie and possibly from the devil. On the other hand, followers of Christ are just that! We follow Christ teachings and nobody else’s. All this is in the Holy Bible. There is so much Scripture to back up false prophets, and your teachings (I don’t have time to write down), I know the Mormons believe that the Bible has many flaws and they do not believe. However, they will pick and choose the Scriptures they want to quote so they can feel like they are Christ like. I myself, have a personal relationship with the true Jesus and He has given me so much peace and joy. I don’t deserve it, but He is a gracious God and only He is the one I go through in prayer. My prayer for you and the others, is that you search out what is happening in the church of Mormonism. God Bless.
I was in the church for 53 years and only became a Christian a little over 3 years ago. I When I questioned the cross they always told me we don’t celebrate it. That’s the only info they would say. I knew there was more behind because I felt deceived.
@tonyawhaley1781 If a family member dies in automobile crash... do you hang a picture on your wall of them dead in the crash? The world has enough pictures of Christ hanging on the cross that no one forgets how he died. And yet there are still many who will say that many many many men also died on the cross.... so Jesus wasn't the only one. The LDS choose to show pictures of How he Lived.
It’s not the same. Have you read the Bible the true Bible not the Mormon version? I suggest you visit different religions and make your decision based on that not what you grew up with. The Bible states there should be no idols except him. Morning idolize Joseph Smith not God. You should study the Bible more.
@@MrNirom1 that’s all in good but you aren’t getting his life story. I feel bad you all that only celebrate his. His life, his whole life setting is before he came, while he was here and his death. I bet you don’t have a clue of his last words on the cross. It is finished. I suggest you research his whole life.
@@tonyawhaley1781 Well Tonya I will tell you this. His last words are totally dependent upon which version you read. Right? Let's see... in Matthew he says that the last words of Jesus are: 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Then Matthew says: 50 ¶ Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. Now let us look and see what Mark has to say: 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? So Matthew and Mark say the same thing. Let us see what Luke has to say: 46 ¶ And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. And now for the last testimony of what his last words were... from John: 30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. So there ya have it Tonya. 4 versions, 2 are the same... 2 are different. So let me now ask you. You said I bet you don’t have a clue of his last words on the cross. It is finished. Now you know that that might not have been the last words he said. We really don't know do we????? But I think you would like it to be.. It is finished but as you can see ... that was just one of four.
I spent most of my life in the church. Off and on again. Was not really active until later in my life. I took out my endowments at the age of 40 . I left at age 55 now 60. My family was always active in the church and they turned their backs on me as well as my wife and a couple of my children. I'm still married but not much longer. We agreed to just not talk about religion. But my wife has never passed up the chance to remind me of the huge mistake. And I just can't go on that way. Our marriage isn't a marriage anymore. Not even friendship remains at this point. Pretty miserable living with someone who you no longer have anything in common with. I'm pretty lonely aside from my relationship with my savior. I need a woman in my life. And because of my age and the fact I haven't dated in over 40 years. Just don't know where to start. Pray for me.
Sir, you need Jesus. Jesus said, "Follow Me." Jesus is the good Shepherd. Jesus will never let you down. John 10:27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; 28 and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. Jesus is my substitute (i.e. Isaiah 53:4-6). He is way more than my example. A substitute does it for us. An example shows us how but we must still do it. He personally paid the penalty for all my sin. As a result, of His mercy I want to obey His commandments. Jesus as my righteousness, as our law-keeper (i.e. Romans 5:19, 1 Corinthians 1:3; Isaiah 61:10) The biblical truth is that Jesus kept the law for us I know for sure that I have been completely forgiven (i.e. Hebrews 10:14-17) and am accepted by God (i.e. 1 Peter 2:9). I know God is with me, providing and protecting me (i.e. Romans 8:31-39, Psalm 23). I know for sure that when I die I will live eternally with Heavenly Father (i.e. Philippians 1:23). I have no doubts because my acceptance by God depends entirely on Jesus’ work for me and he has already accomplished it (John 19:30). ruclips.net/video/r0mckI8Xfl8/видео.html
Sir, please dont give up. You did the right thing. I will pray for you okay. I just turned 60 this month. I am alone also, aside from having the Dear Lord in my life. Hang in there, my Friend.
That's what I used to think. I've never been happier since I've decided a woman isn't what I need. What I needed was to be ok with being alone. It's not only liberating, but I don't worry about trying to make someone else happy. Remember, you at one time thought your current wife was what you needed, how did that work out? No one to waste your time trying to do the impossible of jumping through hoops to make them happy... No one to disappoint=no one who will disappoint you. Think of being alone as a win-win situation.
Of course they won't tell someone all these things on an initial visit. They usually have about 10 minutes to introduce themselves. I can't imagine a salesman knocking on my door and saying, "Hi, I'm Dave. I wear secret underwear. Would you like to hear what I have to sell you?" This is the same reason we don't teach about mortgages or sex in kindergarten. Or why a university professor teachers things in a certain order. You start with the basics and add to it as the deeper information will be understood. Of course those blasted Mormons won't tell you any of this when they first knock on your door.
they aren't blasted, just highly indoctrinated kids, that if they don't fulfill their mission their WHOLE family doesn't get blessed. It is really a sucky thing but that is what they do. These SHELTERED kids are turned out into a very scary world and told they MUST convert people or their family's STANDING in the celestial kingdom suffers. They get guilted into ALL they do, and it is such a tragedy. The pressure on these KIDS is so enormous. If they bomb or don't complete their mission most of the eligible girls SHUN them as a bad candidate for marriage. They MUST marry, and reproduce to be a TBM, and in good standing with their ward.
@@savannahsmiles1797 Thank you for your post. Didn't know the kind of pressure the young missionaries are under. Have a great New Year. God Bless you, your friends and family.
I grew up Mormon. I just want to throw up when I hear anything about this church. It’s totally a cult. I denounced the church and everything that has to do with Mormonism. I’m so glad God open my eyes to the truth I am now a follower of Jesus! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I’m sorry you were led astray. Maybe at some point in your life you will realize that whatever information you learned that made you hate the church so much was false.
As a current Mormon I can tell you that much of what you said in this video is true. Though I don't see most of it in the sinister light that you try and paint it. Most differences between what you believe and Mormons believe are not sinister, they are just different. A few specific things I want to point out. 1. "satanic" star symbols on the temple. There are actually several different version of both 5 and 6 pointed stars on many temples. The 5 pointed start was used in early Christianity to symbolize the 5 wounds of Christ (two in his hands, two in his feet, and 1 in his side) So not satanic. If the bottom point is elongated is represents Jesus coming to earth. The 6 pointed stars if they are displayed prominently are a reference to the star of David. Sometimes they are just supposed to look like stars, the twinkly kind. 2. The mountain meadows massacre. 100% agree this was a horrific event. We all know that, but Brigham young was hundreds of miles away when it happened and had no idea about it until weeks later. So he was not involved. The Mormons were a persecuted people, they had been driven from their homes in Missouri and Illinois, often in the dead of winter and in the middle of the night. Governor Lilburn Bogs had even passed the Mormon extermination order making it legal to shoot Mormons on sight. (that law stayed on the books until 1976) So yes, these settlers were a little on edge. It was still wrong, nobody is trying to justify it, but context matters. 3. Was Brigham young an evil racist? By today's standards, absolutely! By the standards of the 1860's he was pretty tolerant. Really anyone who was not actively hunting down runaway slaves and hanging them from trees was a bleeding heart liberal back then so lets keep things in context. It should also be noted that nobody was ever actually sentenced to death for having relations with a person of color. Now you can say his words were still evil but prophets from the Old Testament say a person should be killed for wearing clothing of mixed cloth, so I guess we all have a little crazy in our background. Interesting note, near the end of Joseph Smiths life he became an abolitionist himself and in 1844 wrote a lengthy letter calling for all slaves to be freed. If you are really trying to spread truth then you need to include the context.
LDS. Huge push on FAMILY VALUES. As long as your LDS ( I'm no Mo). And stay married. I got divorced from a Mo and I was instantly excommunicated from the entire family. Which is fine. Seeing her father walk around the house in his Jesus jammies used to make my eyeballs throw up. And watching a bunch of grown adults crying their eyeballs out with their speeches aka "testament" about how much they believe in "the prophets" and Joey Smith (the pedophile) was depressing.
I take it you don't understand about divorces. When you get a divorce the person you are getting a divorce from their family will stop having anything to do with you because they're taking their family member side.I also have a feel they never liked you in the first place because you sound like real dumbass.
I'm very happy I left the LDS church. Left 3 months ago and have adapted to my new life after religion. I choose to live my life without any religious training now.
Well, I am happy you left the LDS church. I will pray that you seek out the truth of the Bible. Just because the Mormons distorted and corrupted it and twisted it's meanings to promote their cult does not mean that there isn't a true God. He loves you! And He is so real!!
Judge not, judge not I hear it all the time But all these people, quickly change their tune When it comes down to their dime Had they been passed A bunch of counterfeit cash And someone say, “Hey wait!” I can tell from the print on that money That all that money is fake! They would jump for joy Be glad not mad Had that person not spoken up They would have been had So let’s get the matter straight What this lady is saying is great She’s tested the spirits and found them lacking She most certainly deserves our love and backing
Mormons are legendary for their "newspeak" . as a jr high kid I was told not to tell people what church I attended, but to invite kids to church. That people would prejudge us without getting to know us...they were right. In high school i went to seminary classes before school, they had us study the KJV in my sophomore year. I kept reading it and by my senior year had many difficult questions and deep misgivings about what they were saying to outsiders vs. what they were teaching me, as i was preparing for missions, we had been to the temple and participated in baptism for the dead, and that KJV kept coming up, you know, John 3:16&17...Eph 2: 8-10...stuff like that...so I started asking questions. The questions were not welcome. And after a period of time, I wasn't either. Fast forward 2 years I join the Marines...on Sunday if you go to church you can escape the watchful eye of the drill instructors for 2 hrs! So I went to the LDS service...within 2 weeks of filling out the visitors card, tha minister in charge met me at the door and explained where all the other denominations met...I was blackballed! Not that I'm hurt, just a fun example of LDS love....the holy spirit got ahold of me a few years later, and I'm saved now. Pray for your LDS frieds, the indoctrination theye been through is powerful...they're convinced if they lose their membership they're eternally cursed...it's sad really, no assurance of salvation. Your telling the truth, keep it up. Titus 3:5-7 "according to his mercy"
YOur experience is completely different from mine Being Raised LDS (church of Jesus Christ of) I was taught to tell everyone what church I attended and to be proud of it. I did and I"m glad. Then my pentecostal friends invited me to their church when I was about 12. I asked my mom what I should do. She said I should go (which I did, those drums were pretty cool even though i sure wasnt used to them but still pretty cool) Then she said invite them to your church which I did. this was over 20 yrs ago and to this day I'm still friends with them. It sounds like your problem is with certain members and how they act but not "the church"
@@dukeball4ever1 I would say the problem is the church. The church wants you to worship a god that was once a man, wants you to make fun of Jesus Christ and say that he is the brother of Lucifer and wants you to believe another gospel. The Bible calls this idolatry, blasphemy and believing another gospel damns you to eternal torment in hell. Gal. 1:8 I had four LDS missionaries in my home and they wanted me to read the Book of Mormon and pray about it and God would automatically tell me it is true. I showed them from the word of God that I do not pray to their heavenly father who was once a man, so I would not get the answer that they would get. I worship the Creator. The true and living God the Father, who loves you and created you, was never once a man. Job 9:32 “In truth I know that this is so; But how can a man be in the right before God? “For He is not a man as I am that I may answer Him, That we may go to court together. I Tim. 1:17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. The true and living God was never once a man. He exists by His own power. He is self-existent. He lives outside of the time, space and matter because He created time, space and matter. He has no mother or father, does not need air, food, water, sex, sleep, shelter, clothing, etc.. He is omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, immutable, infinitely holy, eternal and so much more. The highest heavens cannot contain Him. He created Adam out of the dust of the ground. No wife needed. No pre existence. Why don't you worship your Creator? Jesus Christ never said you had to believe the Book of Mormon was true to get into heaven. Jesus Christ never said you had to believe Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God to get into heaven. Jesus Christ never said there was salvation only in the LDS church.
Actually I was disfellowshipped, the chaplain told I was welcome to attend any other service on the base....he did not say I was not welcome to attend theirs, but I was asked to leave (kinda the same thing)
@@dukeball4ever1 l once defended the church as you do, untill l researched and saw through the deception. You have simply not discovered the actual truth of the Mormon Corp yet. So many are taken in by their manipulative behavior. They change doctrine like most change underwear. God is not the author of confusion.
I was recently asked come to their church under the guise of Christianity. I had no idea they were Mormons until I got there. Soon as they talked about going to temple, gold plates and Joseph smith. I was totally confused because I know true Christians do not believe in that. Then one of their missionaries was talking to me and opened their bible and at the bottom it said Mormon. That’s when I was even more puzzled because I had no idea about Mormonism. Literally recently I am learning about it and another missionary asked me what my religious background is, in front of their followers. When I said I was raised in Islam but I don’t agree with the religion. That’s when one of their followers told me it’s all the same and most religions come from the Middle East have similar beliefs. So later through text I asked their missionary if they practice polygamy, which I am totally against and one of the reasons I don’t subscribe to Islam, the missionary told me they used to do it under the directions from God. So I have been telling them I’m busy and don’t have time to come over for “bible” study. Honestly I’m kind of afraid to offend them so I’m trying to respectfully decline their offer to “save my soul.” Thank you for exposing who they are because I almost fell into that cult but luckily I always do my research before committing to anything. 😅 you’re right they definitely lie about a lot of things until you catch them in their lies.
Get away from all organized religion. Nature is what we should worship. I was born into a Muslim family but we were never super devout. My older sister is now a Christian. I don’t believe in either. I pray to higher power and Mother Nature.
@@Gangsterkitty401meow good to know I’m not alone. Same here I feel like ancient spiritual ways are more effective but all organized religions look down on them and demonize the old ways yet many religions have holidays that are pagan holidays and they have changed the rituals. I know relatives who do black magic and have good results but then they pray for forgiveness from Allah. Which is an oxymoron if you ask me.
My mother is Mormon and she finally admitted that she believes in a different Christ because I showed her an article by one of their “profits”, Gordon B Hinkley, and he said that this was the case. Please pray for my mom... Thank you for your video :) Godbless
@@raymondellis1454 You should try believing in Christ Jesus, the God of the Bible as opposed to following a murderers doctrine. yep, that's right, you beloved Joseph Smith was a murderer as well. He has also helped lead countless millions to the Lake of Fire.
When i was younger and going through trauma i got baptised into a mormon church, however i dont remember being baptised but i went away for a while, like 15 years and learned about freemasons etc, i bumped into the elders again a few months ago and ive told a few of them about a few things you mention in this videobut its the arrogance of them and no chance of changing their minds, as they have pre programmed responses to everything and i didnt even get a chance to explain my case, cause you know they're right haha, ive just told them im not getting involved with them now
Only one correction: Freemasonry is not occult. It is a fraternity. Freemasonry is not a religion and it is not a substitute for religion. Freemasonry is open to any religious man that believes in a god. Atheists are not acceptable in Freemasonry. BTW, the Shriner's Hospital is a Masonic endeavor.
This is so sad to watch. I feel sorry that you feel the need to attack the LDS church. I am a proud and deeply converted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. LDS general conference is coming up next weekend! I hope that many of you will take the time to watch it and see what the Church really is about.
hey, I was the same way about 2 years ago, then I took a step back an analyzed things. Sure, the church teaches generally good things that will make you happy, but ultimately it can not be true (or highly unlikely anyway) as the claim of it can not be verified. For this, consider a simple experiment. Since 2 people from two different religions can pray about something and both feel a confirmation of their beliefs, while it is not possible for them both to be correct, then we must conclude faith is not a good measure of truth. Since faith is really the only way to justify belief in a religion, that means, believing in the church (or any church for this matter) is an act that can not be justified, thus since it can not ever be shown to be a justifiable action, it makes no sense to believe in one. This is a hard pill to swallow but is ultimately the logical conclusion.
That leaves me out at 55...and I would not submit to slavery by pregnancy . Also it's by faith we are saved not by works we are saved. However, faith without works is dead.
@Rhonda You are saved by Having Faith in Christ, You will receive Grace. It is a gift of God.once you have Grace. God will guide you to do his Works, not Man's works
James 2:26, it's in the context of James talking to the twelve Jewish tribes about their materialism in their ideas about works getting you into heaven. I love James, my favorite book that I've studied
you guys are silly. no one makes you have any kids .....just like outside of the church. you and your spouse determine how many kids you have. No one else even has a say. Just more lies being spread about Christ's church. Its' OK it was happening 2000 yrs ago and still goes on today.....i guess we are used to it :)
Salvation only occurs after death, and only for those who lived righteously after accepting Christ - it is impossible to be “saved” while still in this life, which is a false doctrine Christ directly states that you must endure to the end before salvation can be applied to your life - Matthew 24:13 We are saved by Christ's grace, but only after being judged by our works - Titus 3:5, Titus 1:16, Rev. 22:12-14 Perform the Lord’s statutes even until the end - Psalms 119:112 Worldly people despise Christ's true plan of salvation and dangerously invent their own - 1 Cor. 1:19-29 We save ourselves by pondering the doctrine and doing it - 1 Timothy 4:16
I was Mormon for 18 years, i’m now 23. I never knew about a lot of the creepy shit that went on in the temple, only that my bishop had to approve me to go and that it was “sacred.” I’m just now seeing all these videos about the temple ceremonies and it reminded me of the time that they had me baptize dead people inside a fountain with statues of cows around it…. very scary as a child. I also never got to see any of my siblings get married because it was “sacred”. Creepy af.
@Dustin Hirschi Rams??? Really? You look at bulls and see sheep? Yea... Baptizing the dead was a real hard thing to do. Too bad you don't have the gift to see the dead. If you did, you would see them standing in line to watch the two people who are involved in their baptism. And to feel the joy that come from them finally able to start progressing. Yea... but because you can't... you need faith. It is probably better for you who never had a testimony of the Gospel to be involved in any way. Yet here you are on a anti-LDS site criticizing your families faith. How proud your parents must be.
@Distin Hirschi Jesus said “Except a man is born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” Jesus himself got baptized and he received the Holy Ghost. His Apostles baptized believers and conferred the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands. How about those who died without the gospel. Jesus’ words are clear: They cannot enter into the kingdom of God. How can they receive the gospel if they’re dead? 1 Peter 4:6 says, “For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.” But how can they be baptized? Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15:29, “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?” Baptism for the dead in the Church is by revelation a vicarious ordinance of the gospel which is performed in the temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. There are now 168 such temples in operation, and more will continue to be constructed till the second coming of Jesus Christ.
@@MrNirom1 You're a wackjob. You're also spending your time on anti mormon videos and writing crazy comments. You're no better than I, though you and the weirdos in your religion think you are.
@@dustin7405 Oh I have been called worse than a wackjob by people like you. My comments are not crazy. Perhaps you would like to share with me what YOU consider to be a "crazy comment"? It is not that we are better than you... it is that we are better at understanding our faith than you are. You were of my faith but never got it. I wasn't born into this faith... but I got it. And when I explain it... you don't want to believe it so you call us names and tell us we are crazy. It must make you feel better when you can do that. You kind then feel like you know more than I do about my faith and my understanding of it. Of course I am on anti-mormon sites like this one defending my beliefs. I have been doing this since 2007 when I saw critics and ex members of the Church say "crazy" things about my faith that were NOT true. So instead of letting these people get away with it without someone bringing the lies to light... some people would believe what they have to say. As I have said many times and in different places. I have never spoken ill of my past faith and nor demeaned the people who still believe it. When I left that church... I also left it alone!
What's helped me honestly is accepting that the church's history is, in fact, not squeaky clean. The church has been working to be more transparent in recent years which is awesome, and I welcome it! But for so many years church leaders encouraged a perfectly tidy vision of church history, and it was simply not a complete picture. Prophets were never perfect people, many church leaders have said and done questionable things, members have wrongly acted in the name of the church, and so on. However, the church is in a constant process of receiving revelation to improve upon it's past and to advance forward. I've found comfort in the fact that Christ himself is perfect, and that he chooses to work through imperfect people to build his kingdom. This means that sometimes mistakes are made, people are hurt, and reputations are marred. But this doesn't mean that Christ's gospel is untrue, or that the church he's established on earth is unworthy of our membership. It just means that we still have work to do to learn from the mistakes of our past and the past of the church. My Dad would take me and my brothers and sisters to Church history sites while we were growing up. Plural marriage... Always knew about that. Bank failure in Kirtland... Always knew about that. Problems Saints had with the pro-slavery Missouri militia... Always knew about that. Smith destroying the Expositor, then getting protected and exonerated by the Nauvoo courts, then killed for it... Always knew about that. Young was a controversial leader who harbored racist ideologies while also leading The Saints... Always knew about that. History was part of my life. And I knew about those things when I had a miraculous experience as a teen, and felt the Spirit of God, and knew The Church was true. I still had a hard time as a missionary when I encountered anti-Mormon materials. Some of it is asked in a way that makes the antagonism not necessarily a question that is easy to answer. And sometimes anti-Mormons did not allow an answer, or tried to frame what they expected the answer to be. Sometimes the honest answer is, "I have faith." Sometimes that is the honest answer. I think sometimes Saints think that there is an easy answer for everything, and there isn't and antagonists play that to their advantage. I guess it was and is easier to me because I was exposed to antagonistic material and the more difficult aspects of Church history prior to my conversion. It would probably be harder for someone who was converted, then experienced anti-Mormon material. The scriptures are clear that spiritual things can only truly be understood through a spiritual lens. Take the spiritual lens out of the equation (which is what antagonists do) and it is harder to explain or justify the controversial aspects of Church history. Smiths plural marriages... Taken in the context against Biblical plural marriages is understandable (to me). It was practiced in the Bible. It was practiced by Smith and Young and the early Latter-Day Church. Bank failure in Kirtland.... Smith was trying to help people, and there was a broad global recession at the same time. Lots of banks failed. Smith and many others lost everything with everyone else. Tragic. Sad. But The Church now has safeguards (lol) against recession and financial loss, and the current Church assets have to be understood against Church history of The Church being destitute in Kirtland, assets taken in Missouri, and assets left in Illinois. Smith translating The Book of Mormon and Book of Abraham... Smith had power and spiritual insights and gifts you and I and Egyptologists or antagonists to The Church do not have access to-- or really an understanding of (without a spiritual lens). If you want to know The Book of Mormon is true then you have to pray to God. That is where the spiritual answer to the Book of Mormon is found. That is not an answer that satisfies many antagonists to The Church. Despite my sincere efforts to understand Jesus Christ, I find myself facing questions from others who interpret the Bible differently. As for how it all ends, I believe it remains a mystery until God chooses to reveal it. Until then, the quest for understanding continues. Imagine having a personal spiritual experience, feeling its goodness deeply within yourself, only to have someone else speak against it. In such moments, it may seem as though the very essence of what you felt or believed in-the spirit-has been called into question. This raises profound questions: Is God truly real? Could it be that the spirit is deceiving us? Do we genuinely experience the love of God? If God will punish me of believing on something is not true or believe someone saying something that you belong in a wrong faith. So be it!
Jesus said in Luke The law and the prophets were until John now its the kingdom of God and everyone is pressing into it. There's no more prophets. The veil was torn in the temple and that signified open access to God because Jesus brought a better covenant. My favorite scripture is Hebrews 10:14-19 and 1 John 5:10-13. It tells you everything you need to know.
Then you know nothing of the doctrine of the restored Gospel of Christ. The "cross" is everywhere in LDS theology, but Latter-day Saints understand it correctly whereas you do not.
@@rodinutah Then please explain to us how it is that a woman who does not have the opportunity to marry will not be able to enter the celestial kingdom. If the husband is an adulterer- what them becomes of the children that were sealed to their parents in the temple? Are they now no longer going to the celestial kingdom since their dad fell from grace and now they are no longer sealed to him? It seems like a family's salvation/making it to the celestial realm is dependent on a faulty man. If I am wrong here- please feel free to explain in a way we can all understand. Thanks in advance.
Well, my only answer to you is that Heavenly Father is a loving father. He will not deny any blessings to those who are worthy of them. A woman who has not had a chance to marry in this lifetime will be given that chance in the eternities. Children are innocent and will be also be blessed with those blessings they deserve. It will all be worked out in the end.
That is exactly what Satan wants you to believe. That there are many ways to Heaven. Jesus is the Way (only ONE way) the Truth (only ONE truth) and the Life (without Jesus your Spiritually Dead). Thru truth hurts 🤷🏻♀️
@@miamlatindiva You've spoken with Satan and he explained to you his agenda, I presume? Beware that you don't become a permanent resident of Naraka, it is a most unpleasant afterlife.
Satan is the Master of Deception he confuses everyone in the world to turn him away from following Jesus. Because everyone will reject Christ & the Anti-Christ will appear. There will be a 7 year Tribulation before God destroys the world. I am a Disciple of Jesus & my final destination is Heaven. I’m just trying my best under the power of Jesus who’s Spirit is inside me to spread the Gospel. Jesus died for you it’s a gift meaning you can’t earn the love of God.
@@miamlatindiva Which flavor of Christianity is this that you follow? Catholic? Baptist? Seventh Day Adventist? Latter Day Saint? The Church of Wells? "Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ." Ephesians 5:1-2 Jesus often spoke in parables; so I shall tell a parable: 'There was once a man of Christ named Josef who made a middling wage in the world he lived. A religious man in a white robe, blue of eyes, speaks to him and says, "I am a shepherd of Jesus flock, give me your tithe and together we shall build the church of Christ." Another man in white, but brown of eyes, speaks to him and says, "I am a shepherd of Jesus flock, give me your tithe and together we shall build the church of Christ." Another man, disheveled and in rags speaks to him and says, "I am hungry. Can you help me?" Josef thinks to himself for a moment, and wonders to himself, of these three... who is beggar, who is shepherd, and who is charlatan, for I honestly cannot tell the difference. He gave his tithe to the disheveled man, for it seemed, to him, the most Christ-like thing to do.'
I think you are both missing the point here. Grace and faith are two different things. Grace is decided by Jesus and faith is decided by us and both are required to achieve the maximum outcome in an afterlife... So we come across an argument that I see so many times, but actually both sides of the argument miss the context of the point... Our faith cannot save us nor can our works if Jesus decides not to apply his grace... Grace is a decision based on how Jesus considers our situation.. Now to go with the Mormon point of view, Jesus grew in favour of God as he practiced doing his will, which means that as Jesus said as a warning "by there works you shall know them". If you believe his words you will follow the two parables as Jesus taught.. 1. Not to hide your light 2. To be a good Samaritan. Jesus also talks of what keeps you out of heaven, and it's not Based on false beliefs, false prophets etc, which were rife during Christ time. Rather than do what this post tries to do,bwhich destroys good faith in what are called "true believer Mormons", but is more on the fact in how well you live your life.... Can a Hindu be saved? Or a Muslim be saved? Even if they have no passing mention of Jesus between their ears? Grace applies here as Jesus will say, these lived their lives as good people etc, it won't matter of the false doctrine they were taught. If a Mormon keeps their values as the ancient Essenes did and serve man and woman in their best capacity according to their beliefs, god's grace is more lightly apply to these than professors of faith who like the Pharisees taught good things but their hearts were far away... I think both sides of the argument miss the point and neither understand grace or works...
Calibration Technique you have a very good point, which in retrospect is almost exactly what I believe but couldn’t articulate nearly as well as you, nor did I really try as I should have. Thank you for your perspective!
It's easy to see the indoctrination and ridiculousness in other churches and religions, but most people are blind to the indoctrination and ridiculousness in their own. Religion is the great divider of people.
That is certainly accurate. It is difficult, but we need to turn our scrutiny upon ourselves, the beliefs we hold and behavior of groups we are part of and support. I think getting to know people and learning is one beneficial road. Any other ideas?
I’m a Christian and I agree. I try my best not to be ignorant of my own faith as well because of the fact that these different versions of Christianity exists. What makes what I believe any different?🤔
“The” CoJCoLDS is based on division, so is the Bible to be fair, but Mormons take it to the next level and then add another set of stairs to climb after you scale a rickety ladder to get there
If you ever attend a Mormon meeting, it's quite striking how little Jesus is ever mentioned at all. Jesus is almost an afterthought as they spend most time discussing the importance of the organization's growth, money, recruitment efforts, the legacy of Joseph Smith, the leadership, and lessons on how to be more obedient.
I saw something on RUclips that I had never known before about Joseph Smith. I have not researched or verified this, but if it's true it very much impacts the credibility of Mormonism. The RUclips video made the claim that typhoid swept through the Smith family while Joseph was six years old. The disease initially settled in a gland in his armpit which a doctor then lanced and drained with no pain medication. The typhoid then was said to become systemic finally settling in the tibia of his leg. From the report, there were three separate occasions where they cut open his leg, with no pain medication or anesthesia, on three occasions and scraped the infection off the bone and out of the muscles. The psychologist stated that this sort of trauma in early childhood would cause dissociation from reality, and that this could be a lifelong issue. If this is true, it makes me see Joseph Smith in a different light - not as a liar and con man, but as a human being suffering PTSD, and deflecting difficulty or trauma by fantasizing. This, however, does not change the fact that Mormonism is a man made, false religion, and people caught up in Mormonism would be much better off finding the real Jesus of the Bible.
This is crazy seeing this comment because I was taught that Joseph Smith was sick and the infection went to his leg and the were going to amputate it but it miraculously healed through painful treatments of taking the infection out of his leg. I was taught he was even offered whisky and he turned it down because it wasn't good for him. It would make a lot of sense if the trauma made him have these fantasies. It is fascinating to learn stuff like this after being raised LDS.
T Thinker: Well your conclusion is fantasy with no evidence. How could some psychologist who never met Joseph Smith make such an outrageous diagnosis and conclusion? lol Here are some facts with corroborating evidence and witnesses that would stand up in court. Joseph and Oliver were visited by John the Baptist, Peter, James, John, Jesus Christ, Moses, Paul, and Elijah--"In the mouths of two or three witnesses shall every word be established" according to the bible. At least five people saw the angel Moroni and wrote a testimony of that fact. 13 people saw and handled the gold plates and wrote a testimony of that fact. Numerous people observed the translation process of the Book of Mormon wherein Joseph Smith gazed into the Urim and Thummim, saw the Egyptian figures in the upper portion of the device and the English translation below which he read aloud so that Oliver Cowdery could write it down. Oliver then read it back to make sure he had written it correctly. If he had, the images would disappear and new images appeared and so on. When they returned from a break, Joseph never asked where they left off because he had no idea. He just began reading what was in the Urim and Thummim again. Joseph did not know Egyptian and could not have possibly translated it in normal translation processes. The entire text of some 525 pages was translated in 60. Joseph said it was translated "by the gift and power of God." Try reading the book and ask yourself if such a book could have been written by anyone in 60 days without any revisions. Unlike the bible the Book of Mormon comes with a guarantee that "if you will read with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truthfulness of it unto you by the power of the Holy Ghost." Millions, including myself, testify that they have received that testimony. There is and always has been only one Jesus Christ, the son of God. He is spoken of as the coming Messiah in the Old Testament and the Redeemer and Savior in the New Testament. It is he who revealed his word to the prophets of the tribe of Joseph which are found in the Book of Mormon. See Ezekiel 37 It is he who said in the New Testament that "other sheep I have which are not of this fold, them also I must bring." He visited the tribe of Joseph and declared himself to be the Christ, the risen Lord. You can read all about his visit and his teachings in the Book of Mormon. He also told them he still had other tribes to visit--the Lost 10 tribes described in the bible. Jesus Christ began fulfilling the prophecy of Acts 3:19-21by calling a prophet (see Amos 3:7) restoring the fulness of his gospel a second time, restoring priesthood authority so the saving ordinances of baptism and giving the Gift of the Holy Ghost could be accomplished, restoring His church with the same organization and authority it had when he was on the earth, and naming his church. There is nothing man made about it. It's "built on a foundation of apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone" just as it was in the primitive church.
@@cornyplays8766 You got the first two sentences exactly right. The last two are nonsense. Just wild speculation and accusation without a particle of evidence. Sounds like you decided to leave the straight and narrow path and go and live in the great and spacious building. You are always welcome back. Hope to see you return.
@@troll-tx4mp The word cult refers to an unorthodox sect whose members distort the original doctrines of the religion. In a Christian context, the definition of a cult is, specifically, “a religious group that denies one or more of the fundamentals of biblical truth.” A cult is a group that teaches doctrines that, if believed, will cause a person to remain unsaved. A cult claims to be part of a religion, yet it denies essential truth(s) of that religion. Therefore, a Christian cult will deny one or more of the fundamental truths of Christianity while still claiming to be Christian. The two most common teachings of Christian cults are that Jesus was not God and that salvation is not by faith alone. A denial of the deity of Christ results in the view that Jesus’ death was insufficient to pay for our sins. A denial of salvation by faith alone results in the teaching that salvation is achieved by our own works. The apostles dealt with cults in the early years of the church: for example, John addresses the teaching of Gnosticism in 1 John 4:1-3. John’s litmus test for godly doctrine was “Jesus Christ has come in the flesh” (verse 2)-a direct contradiction of the Gnostic heresy (cf. 2 John 1:7). The two most well-known examples of cults today are the Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons. Both groups claim to be Christian, yet both deny the deity of Christ and salvation by faith alone. Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons believe many things that are in agreement with or similar to what the Bible teaches. However, the fact that they deny the deity of Christ and preach a salvation by works qualifies them as cults.
even though I don’t want to be a member of the church anymore, and I am finding my way, a lot of the things you claim in the video aren’t true/way over exaggerated and misunderstood. There are definitely things about the church that have caused me to leave, but some of this is just not true.
I will talk of my experience. I was going through a very difficult time. Really at rock bottom. I had to go to the church to get help. When more than anything I needed spiritual help. It ended up in years of spiritual torture. I never got a chance to get fully into the church because I had been struggling for so long. I’ve been using my bible app and have been praying and now I know that God was protecting me from going any further.
I grew up in a small southern Utah town, and was one of 9 non members in a class of 48 kids. I received “extra credit” in high school from a teacher by agreeing to meet with the missionaries at her home. I showed up with all sorts of questions about these things you’re mentioning, and the things I didn’t agree with about the religion. The missionaries had not only ZERO answers for the questions I had, but they, as missionaries, hadn’t heard of 90% of these principles their precious religion had been built on. I transferred out of this teachers class shortly after she chewed me out for how badly I “embarrassed” her in front of the missionaries.
enlil7billion ok and you know everything about your religion? Please keep yourself humble. P.S. I don’t call BS, but since when has one person’s faults made an entire religion false? Even if you’re telling the truth, that’s hardly ammo against the Church. Maybe a nerf bullet.
enlil7billion maybe the questions you asked weren’t as basic as you thought. And again, since when has one person’s faults made an entire religion false? The missionaries not knowing how to answer your questions doesn’t make my church false. And who knows, maybe your question was confusing because we don’t believe there were two tribes that came to the new world. Maybe we do believe in the same event, but the way you phrased that I have no idea what event you’re talking about.
I love this video!! I was raised in the LDS “religion” and left just about four years ago. I wanted to leave my whole life but it was terrifying. It has been the biggest blessing to leave. Minus the hurt from family etc. Apparently I’m “humiliating”. Anyways... thank you for spreading truth. Most of these things I did not at all know which is so sick.
There's a lot of unincluded context surrounding a lot of the scriptures mentioned. It's important to emphasize that no one is forced to do anything in the church. People are invited to pay tithing and go on missions to get closer to God and at their own pace. Just because no one told you about some controversies in Sunday school doesn't mean that it's "hush hush". There have long been resources and people that can answer tough questions.
I’m a recovering Mormon, and while most of what Jessie says is accurate, there were a few things that aren’t. The LDS Church is not a good organization and anyone who’s investigating it should do serious research into the church’s history & less often discussed practices before committing themselves to its bizarre practices, emotional pressures & misleading leadership/teachings.
Ba-humbug. Look into past history? Yes, mankind has come from a bad history...so what are you complaining about NOW? Just because you are afraid to commit to a religion you can say all kinds of bad things about any of them... So what. You have it so great already in your life that you don't need religion? Well, most people have found peace and salvation in their religions and so much more, thus not afraid of their vulnerability and imperfections, yet go to church and welcome their Christian community and compassionate hearts. It makes a difference in their lives, because they WANT to.
birdlynn hubbard what are you talking about? For someone who doesn’t know me you have a lot to say about what religion I choose to follow (or not follow). Does it make you feel better to make assumptions about those who have been able to recognize the absurdity that is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints? Mankind doesn’t come from “a bad history”, although there have been bad people & events. Joseph Smith was one of those bad people. As so many Mormons do you want to claim all of humanity descends from bad to lighten the glaring truth that Mormonism was born out of the mind of a narcissist with delusions of grandeur. I wish you luck with that.
birdlynn hubbard I should add that having grown up Catholic I have seen this story play out before. I believe that Christianity is an overall good for the world, churches and religious organizations that use their power & influence to undermine the constitution, hide their undesirable history & protect pedophiles should not be counted as truly Christian. Even though many of its members probably are Christian in their hearts & practices, being naive or turning a blind eye to corruption isn’t the Christian thing to do. When I learned about the church’s history it was only the icing on top of the cake. It’s what’s happening now that caused me to walk away from the LDS church, and I will fight against any organization that protects those who harm children.
@@damienjstepick It is in the world, Damien. Not just in the churches. (The Pediphiles) I too believe all religions have their place and do belong. But it is a very individual thing where one is called to or where one feels at home. Hopefully, the spirit will help them there because I do believe we are all called to gather together and to hear the word of God. As we are called, and that is what is free. It also can take away your loneliness wherefore people are reminded they are loved by God and community. That is a pretty important in my book. ;) It is so easy for people to criticize churches, or anything these days, but what do they NOT criticize anymore? I'd rather be in church or Mosque hearing the spirit of God and truth which enlightens me and heals me while walking through this world. If and whenever a church I hear criticize another, it is a turn off to me. Immediately. I find that offensive, therefore I go to where it is right for me. It can only be that way. Until people find that way for themselves too then they will feel something beautiful in church that resonates with their heart, mind, and spirit and it makes you want to return again and again and again. That is how church should be. Peace.
birdlynn hubbard I wasn’t the one who assumed to know someone I don’t. That was you. I am happy for anyone who finds peace and happiness, but any organization that claims to be the moral authority on earth while protecting pedophiles, undermining the constitution & harming its members through lies doesn’t deserve to be left alone because its active members enjoy it. Most Nazis enjoyed their way of life. I feel for those who haven’t woken up to the deception of the Mormon church, and I hope one day they find peace as part of a church that doesn’t act in a vile & deceptive manner. Just as members of any mosque should alert authorities to members who may want to commit terrorism in the name of God, so should Mormons who know about corruption within the church. I shared my feelings based on MY experiences. YOU threw stones. If you truly felt peaceful about being a member of the church I doubt you’d care what I think, I doubt you’d be watching this video and I doubt you’d have started by attacking & assuming if you did desire the chance to open up a dialogue.
As a new convert to the church, I would like to say that I was told many of the things that you identified in the first third of the video before my baptism by members of the church. Specifically having to do with the after life. These things are not a secret. There are a few things that you claim are doctrines that actually are not considered doctrine. The Bible, The Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and The Pearl of Great Price are the scriptural books of the church. Not Journal of Discourses. That means the Adam God theory and the theory that God the Father impregnated Mary through physical intercourse are false. I can understand that you might have a personal distaste for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but please be sure to fact check before you upload. Have a blessed day.
I fully sourced this video out with Latter Day Saint sources: ruclips.net/video/EF9lIlK9j8k/видео.html And you are mistaken in your claim that the virgin birth denial is not official accepted teachings. It's been taught in tons of official church curriculum, has been said in First Presidency Statements, official teachings. For example, Ezra Taft Benson taught it very clearly in Come Unto Christ, pg. 4, "Five Marks of the Divinity of Jesus Christ", Ensign, Dec. 2001, 8. and also The Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, pg. 7. Joseph Fielding Smith taught it in MANY official places including Doctrines of Salvation 1:18. Oh man, I have literal pages upon pages of sources for every single point. You should definitely find all of this out for yourself before claiming you have all the answers. Mormonism is an endless maze of hidden teachings and "accepted doctrine." Hope you search for yourself! The true God of the Bible loves you very much. I pray you seek and find Him!
I do not believe I ever once claimed to have all of the answers. We are all living and learning, no one individual will ever know everything that there is to know on this mortal plane: it just is not possible. Please do not put words in my mouth. I also do not appreciate your condescending tone. I between work and school, I dedicate all remaining time to the study of theology - of both church doctrine and of other faiths because I find theology as a field to be fascinating. I did not take lessons with the missionaries until I'd studied everything out and learned what was true and what wasn't for myself. My beliefs and religious practices in no way restrict you and your personal freedoms, so I do not understand why you are so concerned with tearing down other people's faith to make yourself feel better. No good comes from that. Faith is a personal choice and I support everyone's freedom to find out what they believe and to practice their faith however they see fit as long as their faith doesn't encroach upon the freedoms of anyone else.
@@rachelkennedy6097 I wasn't trying to put words in your mouth. Sorry if that was implied. I just meant that before stating that something isn't true, you should search it out, that's all. I'm not trying to be condescending at all. Sometimes with written text, we read things in a tone they're not written. I'm writing this calmly and kindly. I have no desire to be rude to you! The reason I have this channel and speak out against Mormonism is that my Bible teaches of a real and literal Hell and says that whoever is not saved, Biblically, by placing their faith and trust in the one and only true Jesus Christ for the Salvation of their souls, will be eternally tormented in the Lake of Fire where there will be weaping and gnashing of teeth. Mormonism contradicts the Bible completely and preaches a totally different gospel. Because I know this, I am concerned for the souls of the Latter Day Saint people. I have around 30 videos so far on my channel and they discuss the beliefs of the LDS and I give sources for every single point I make. I read from Mormon Scripture, direct quotes and teachings from prophets and apostles and lots from the official website, lds.org. As a Christian, all that matters is sharing the true Gospel and telling people how they can have a real relationship with God and have eternal security through Biblical Salvation. I refuse to "leave people alone" who I believe wholeheartedly are in a false belief system. I want Mormons to truly get saved and to know Christ. That's my mission. I want that for you too! I'm not being condescending. I'm being honest. I will be praying for you as you continue to study and seek truth. I mean that. And we are not enemies. I'd love to talk to you more if you ever feel inclined. I want you to be saved and hopeful and joy filled. 💕
@@itsmejessie Heavenly Father, as I personally know Him, is kind and loving. He knows that not all will understand or be able come to the truth in a world full of confusion and deceit. As I see it, the most important part of any faith is a person's honest intention to follow truth, seeing as whenever they are actually confronted with it if they are set on following truth, they will recognize it and follow it. Coming to know Christ is the best thing that ever happened to me. Through His grace, and Heavenly Father's plan, I am conquering things that have plagued me for a majority of my life and finding peace within myself for the first time. I know this gospel to be true, and I understand that your belief system has you fearful for us. That being said, I do appreciate both your apology and your concern. If it any point you'd ever like to talk more in-depth, you're more than welcome to reach out to me.
Rachel, listen to some of the testimonies on the ex mormon files .com..... Joseph Smith added and subjected from Gods Holy Bible. He was a false prophet who twisted the whole gospel. The Jesus of Mormonism is a false one. The angel who came to him in the cave was a demon disguised as an angel of light. GALATIONS 1:8. Pls leave this cult.
As a LDS for almost 40 years, and a previous convert from Methodist. All what she said are wrong. She tried to take things out of contents, twist things around so she can lead people to the false understanding. People all learn things line upon line precepts upon precepts. It is the same like many other church they join church and then learn more and more. As an educator, I have studied about teenager depression, that is the situation of the whole nation. She just said things without any research base. Not professional at all. I wonder if she can feel peace by attacking God’s church. I know evil can never bring happiness.
I'm a former Mormon and I really appreciate what you are doing here! Lots of these things not even lifelong Mormons really know. It's insane. The only correction I'd make is that Mormons aren't polytheist but henotheists. Polytheists worship multiple gods while henotheists worship one god but believe in multiple gods.
Thank you so much for your comment! I'm so happy you are no longer Mormon. Are you a Christian now or mind if I ask what you believe? Regarding Polytheism: what about Heavenly Father, Jesus and the Holy Ghost being three separate gods? Would you say that Mormons don't worship them as separate gods? Did you only worship Heavenly Father as a LDS? What about Jesus?
It's Me Jessie I think this is where it gets tricky for actual Christians in understanding what Mormons believe around Christ. Because true Christians worship Christ but Mormons only really view him as their Messiah or Savior but not their God. The Heavenly Father of *this* Earth is their God and the only one they treat as such. Jesus and the Holy Ghost are instruments of God and aren't "deserving" of the same sort of treatment. Did I worship Jesus as a Mormon? Absolutely not. In fact, it was one of the big issues I started to have as I got older (I was raised Mormon). Mormons will point to "Jesus Christ" being in their name and they truly think that's sufficient. It's not. At all. They don't emphasis Jesus nearly as much as Christian churches do. They respect and revere their version of Christ but he is only a god to them no THE god. The funny thing is for them to push back on the idea that they are polytheist means they have to admit they don't worship Christ. And I know this will be unpopular but I went Catholic after leaving Mormonism. However, I am always so happy to see any former Mormon turn to Jesus and the Trinity. Catholics acknowledge the baptism of Protestants because Protestants are correct in their belief in God. As a former Mormon I had to be baptised into Catholicism because, well, I was never a Christian. I was never baptised in the name of our true Lord.
I want to clarify- like with most thing Mormons use familiar terms that mean something different to them. Many will likely tell you they worship Christ. My argument is that they don't. They don't pray to Christ, for example, only to God in Christ's name. The "worship" of Mormonism looks very different from the worship of those who believe in the Trinity.
@@margaretphillips1137 Yes, I understand the concept of what you said and that was my understanding as well. I think you adding the point that Mormons saying that they're not Polytheistic means they have to deny worship of the Mormon Christ was a major point. My Mormon friends do not agree with what you told me (or should I say, don't *admit* what you told me) about Jesus. They all tell me that he is absolutely a God and equal with Heavenly Father and that they worship him. I never know when my Mormon friends are actually being completely honest with me. Sometimes I believe that they are being honest because maybe they just don't have all the answers and don't fully know how to answer. But then other times I feel like I'm being deceived. When talking about doctrine, I get the answers like, "Yes, we absolutely believe that. The same as you do!" But I know what they're saying is false and that they don't believe that at all. *sigh* It's exhausting. Anyways.. I appreciate your explanation and the time you took to write. And had I left Mormonism and converted to a Christian denomination, I absolutely believe in getting baptized again for real. 🙂 ..Baptized into a Bible-believing faith. And though I disagree with Roman Catholicism, I don't doubt that there are Catholics who are truly born again and who have fully accepted the true Gospel message of the Bible and Biblical Salvation. I do disagree with all works-based religions as well as the mediators placed between God and man, such as priests and the Pope and all. The Gospel message of the New Testament is so clear that Jesus is our mediator with the Father and that we can go directly to Him in prayer and in relationship. And Ephesians 2:8-9 tells us that it's not by our works that we're saved but through our faith in Jesus, by the grace of God and as a free gift from Him.. not of works lest any man should boast. But anyway.. just sharing my beliefs. Glad you commented! I'm always looking for exMormons to join me on my channel to discuss things like this so if you're ever willing, shoot me an email. 😊 God bless! Itsmejessieo@outlook.com
This was disturbingly incorrect. Most points were flat out false and others were totally out of context. I would pray that everyone be truth seekers and not take these claims to be truth. Feel free to reach out to me for any fact checking or clarification. I will actually provide sources and context. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is true and offers so much light and truth.
Can you please point out specifically what parts were false and out of context? I'm curious to know which part was not true. I have a general understanding and this video filled in most of the blanks. Can you point out which part specifically was not true so I can learn about it correctly? Thanks!
Hi George, I don’t have much time to do a full rebuttal of all of the claims here, but I’m happy to try to shed some light. Do you mind if I connect with you via email? The overarching claim of this video is that the missionaries of the church will lie or omit parts of the gospel, in essence tricking people into joining the church. Its just not true. I was a missionary for two years and serve now as a ward missionary in my community. I’m well versed in the doctrine of the church, as well as the church history. The church is very transparent about its doctrine and its history. See the Joseph Smith Papers project josephsmithpapers.org, Saints history.lds.org/saints?lang=eng&cid=rdb_v_saints_eng, church history topics history.lds.org/, gospel topic essays www.lds.org/topics/essays?lang=eng, and churchofjesuschrist.org which houses all teachings from the church. The church and its members are good, honest people and I would never omit or lie to prospective members. The way she paints the church and its members is totally out of character. “Your church is wrong. Your beliefs are an abomination to God. Your pastor is a hireling of Satan. Salvation is found only in our church. There is no way to achieve any form of salvation outside of the church.” This is not true. Especially the part about the pastor. Just not true. The church believes in an apostasy and restoration. www.lds.org/topics/apostasy?lang=eng#_ www.mormon.org/site/jesus-christs-church/jesus-church-restored “They will not tell you that they are wearing temple garments”. Not true: www.lds.org/media-library/video/2014-01-1460-sacred-temple-clothing?lang=eng ruclips.net/video/5vvN4qJRBM0/видео.html Although this is a sacred and personal practice, so it usually isn’t spoken of lightly and frequently. “Temple garments are meant to protect against evil…YOU”. Nope, not you. Nothing like that is remotely taught. As you will see in the videos above, garments are an outward reflection of an inward commitment to God. “They will not tell you about their temple rites at all.” Not true. See videos for example: ruclips.net/video/Fd8tVXN9y6Q/видео.html ruclips.net/video/gA6aTiMDYho/видео.html ruclips.net/video/RzCSrMJhWeQ/видео.html ruclips.net/video/xSiwmYzSYTM/видео.html “Temple worship is taken from Freemasonry and Satanism cults.” Freemasonry was influential in the temple endowment. Satanism cults is completely false. Here is a great reference. www.lds.org/study/history/topics/masonry?lang=eng
“Familiar spirits are good and Book of Mormon has a familiar spirit.” I’m not even sure where this comes from. Members of the church believe in the Holy Ghost. www.lds.org/topics/holy-ghost?lang=eng “Mormon women find salvation only through their husbands.” This is just not true. www.lds.org/topics/women-in-the-church?lang=eng “Mormon women will be pregnant through all of eternity so they can populate planets.” Not true and not based in much of anything. This is designed by critics based on the idea that God intends for us to become like him. Creating and populating planets is as good as a description of heaven for members of the church as sitting on a cloud playing a harp is for other Christians. Its just not true. “They intend to become Gods themselves one day.” “Heavenly Father over their own planet”. Heavenly Father over their own planet is not true. Intend to become Gods one day is spun in a half truth way. We believe that we are heirs to God, joint heirs with Christ as the Bible teaches. Here is a great article that would certainly help: www.lds.org/topics/becoming-like-god?lang=eng “Exaltation is done through works and obeying the church.” Not true. We obey Christ’s commandments because of our love for him. By believing in Jesus and repenting of sins, we are saved by grace. All are saved by Christ in that every person will be resurrected and all are saved from Adam’s transgression. From the Book of Mormon: 2 Nephi 10:24 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, reconcile yourselves to the will of God, and not to the will of the devil and the flesh; and remember, after ye are reconciled unto God, that it is only in and through the grace of God that ye are saved. “They intend to have many wives in heaven, not just one.” No, I intend to have one. This claim comes from the polygamy practiced in the early church. You can read about that here: www.lds.org/topics/plural-marriage-in-the-church-of-jesus-christ-of-latter-day-saints?lang=eng “God is one of infinite Gods out there.” Paul said this in the New Testament, but also said “but for us there is one God.” That is our belief on this. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the one true God. “They are polytheists” Not the case. I highly recommend listening to this talk to get a better understanding. www.lds.org/general-conference/2007/10/the-only-true-god-and-jesus-christ-whom-he-hath-sent?lang=eng “They believe that God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost are three completely different Gods” Half truth. The scriptures teach that they are one God, but separate beings. This should be logical to anyone who has read the Bible. See the talk above for this as well. “They will not tell you that you were once a spirit child of the pre-existence.” Of course we will! There is even a cool scroll graphic here: www.mormon.org/resources/plan-of-salvation “Heavenly Father and his multiple wives populated the spirit world.” This is again a half truth. We don’t believe God has multiple wives. We do believe that we are children of God as taught by Jesus and the prophets.
“Baptism for the dead.” “Three levels of heaven”. These are true. Here are some resources: Baptisms for the dead ruclips.net/video/RzCSrMJhWeQ/видео.html What happens after we die? ruclips.net/video/5-futI4wQ_s/видео.html “Virgin Mary was not a virgin at all. God came down and had sexual relations with her.” Not true. We believe as the scriptures say that she was a virgin. “They have taught that Jesus had three wives and children of his own. Jesus was a polygomist according to Mormons.” Not true. All we know of Jesus’ life on earth is recorded in the New Testament. “God is an exalted man and lives on a planet near the star Kolob”. Half truth. Joseph Smith believed God was an exalted man. Kolob is a metaphor in the scriptures for Christ. Kolob is described as the star being nearest to God and provides light to all of his creations. People spin it to sound weird and scare people away. “Jesus was Lucifer’s brother.” True. All spirits were children of God. “Heavenly council vote to determine Jesus or Lucifer as savior.” Not true. God presented his plan of salvation for his children. Lucifer and others rebelled against that plan and were cast out of heaven. “There are over 100 divisions within mormonism.” I don’t know about this. There are different break off groups, but there is only one Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and those groups are not affiliated. “They will not tell you that their scriptures contradict.” “Mormons will side with restoration scriptures over the Bible.” I don’t believe that the scriptures contradict, at least not in any significant way. The bible contradicts itself sometimes, but that is easily understood as it was written by different authors. It might be fair to say members of the church will side with the Book of Mormon over the Bible, but I think more accurately is that they will side with their interpretation of the Bible over someone else’s interpretation of the Bible. All Christians do this. “Not one scrap of archeological evidence for Book of Mormon.” Sort of. But what evidence would you expect? www.fairmormon.org/archive/publications/archaeological-evidence-and-the-book-of-mormon “State of Utah has higher than national average abuse, suicide, etc.” This appeals to emotion. Many scientific studies have concluded that this has nothing to do with the church, and actually church attendance significantly decreases all of these categories. “Joseph Smith was in the occult.” Just not true. “Joseph Smith money digging” True, but out of context. “Joseph Smith freemasonry” True, but out of context. I really enjoyed this book as a biography of Joseph Smith: www.amazon.com/dp/B000XUBEZM/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 “First vision accounts.” True. But these aren’t any more contradicting than the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are contradicting. Different emphasis and details in each telling. www.lds.org/topics/first-vision-accounts?lang=eng
As a former Mormon and now Christian I think you did an excellent job in this presentation. It was thorough and factual. It took me quite a while to discover piece by piece all that you brought out in this presentation. Excellent. Thanks.
@Leigh Yorgason Seriously? How longer were you LDS? 2 weeks? What piece did you find so convincing? LDS wear secret underwear? They state the truth that Bishops & Stake Presidents don't get paid for what they do? Please.. enlighten me what she told the truth about.
that's wonderful. I was born a mormon in 1975 but in 1978 at 3 years old. I became christian with the help of the sears catalog. the catalog had photos of adults wearing normal underwear and I knew my parents didn't wear normal underwear. I made a promise to never wear the underwear at that age. God put that in my path. Bless you
They've been following my family for months. I asked the missionaries not to loose time with me from the beginning. They didn't care. The neighbors who are Mormons were so kind invited us to their home to the temple and their outdoor activities. I did it because I just moved to Utah and wanted to meet people. Knowing that the temple's designed and rituals are scary. My husband talked to their leader and asked them not to come to my home. They sent other missionaries and pretended they didn't know this. I stopped opening my door until one day after receiving many phone text I said ok I will tell them what I truly think so they will stop coming, so I said I have many questions lets talk about it on an online meeting. On the online meeting I explained many things that you mentioned on the video that trying to become and be worshipped as God was Lucifer's sin and said this doctrine is a complete Blasphemy. They said ohh I wish you mentioned this before and keep insisting in coming back to keep talking about the book of Mormon. OMG! I cannot believe it, they just don't care about my opinion. They're brainwashed puppets. I feel sorry for those young man spending two years away from their families. At the end they will be accountable for this teaching. This Sunday they came again and were knowing the door. They have an aggressive recruitment strategy a cult clearly designed by the devil himself.
Missionaries are transferred around every couple of months or so. They don't keep records of homes that reject them because after six months or so, might be new people, or the ones there might have changed their minds.
Anyway, first, unless it was an openhouse, there is no way you would be allowed into the temple. You would, however, be more than welcome into a chapel, where we hod our Sunday worship meetings. Nothing scary or ritualistic about those. Second, we do not aspire to become a god to be worshipped. WE are not to worship any god but our Heavenly Father. Third, they talk about the Book of Mormon because that is what the whole thing is based on. If you have a tetimony of the Book of Mormon, everything else will fall into place. Furth, they are not to knowingly kep coming to you, if you say to stay away. But then, I don't know the whole story, so I can only speculate. So, IF what you say is true, then don't answer the door, or the phone or the texts, put a sign on your door thats says "no solicitations" or something like that.
@@lindalds My husband asked them not to come anymore and they didn’t care. I asked them not to loose their time with me since the beginning and they didn’t care. I tried to be nice until I had to say ok I know enough about Joseph Smith and his lies I won’t change my mind about him. They said ok. And today they came and knocked my door. I ordered many things online by Amazon and I cannot open the door to pick them up and I have to go to the post office to pick them up personally because I don’t want to open the door anymore I turn off my lights. Yes you don’t know the whole story.
@anavictoriapb It is sad that you believe what some people tell you. This statement you made and what's her name made is inaccurate. You said: "I explained many things that you mentioned on the video that trying to become and be worshipped as God was Lucifer's sin." That was NOT Lucifer's sin!!! Lucifer's sin was that he did not like the Plan that the Father made. He wanted to send mankind to the earth and NOT give him free agency. He wanted to limit the agency that was given to him... therefore he promised NOT ONE SOUL WOULD BE LOST. And he would be the Savior. And whereas Jesus said he would do the will of the Father... AND he would give the Glory that he would receive back to the Father. Lucifer however, wanted to keep the Glory that would be given him for being the Savior. When the Father chose Jesus to be the Savior... Lucifer rebelled and the war in Heaven began. There was 1/3 of all Father's children who had agreed with Lucifer's plan. And they wanted that plan. The other 2/3 wanted nothing to do with Lucifer's plan. And the battle began. And of course we know what the results are. So... you didn't have the story right. And you are perpetuating a lie and continue pass that lie around. Lucifer was not interested in being worshiped like Father was worshiped. He was the one that wanted to be worshiped like Jesus would be worshiped. So you really got it all wrong!!!
Monique Jefferies , when I asked someone about that, he was so excited to say that research has shown that it’s the altitude. I don’t think we are the only higher altitude communities. I wonder what depression rates are for other high altitude-communities.
Maybe it's possible that the rates are so high, if they are, because they are more proactive a people when it comes to health and addressing any health issues.
Hey Jessie I am glad Jesus saved you, I just left their church, was only there for 6 months and I was baptised under their church when I was 14 years old. I didn't step foot back in their, or any church over the course of the next 30 years. Jesus has been speaking to me through scripture since I met these two sisters here in June this year. I attended their church for 6 months and barley read the BoM they gave me, it just didn't feel right. Why didn't they hand me the Bible to read first, or with the BoM? I am 45 years old now and for the first time in my life I have never been as close to God as I am today, he saved me from going deeper in their religion, totally unexpected. Read the Bible folks, it is the WORD. You don't need any other book.
Amen! We are the same age & finding our way back to God at the same time. It's ironic how when you get older you see things so clear. I hope we are both Blessed with Salvation!
@@kelliintexas3575 Hey, hi there, you know what is even more ironic? You commenting on this post of mines from two years back when I got saved and got born again. because this Saturday for the first time in my life I am being baptized according to the scriptures!! I will be getting baptized in the sea here by the beach :) I would have gotten it done sooner but as I said in that original post I got baptized ( or only wet as one pastor said to me ) in the mormon church when I was 14 years old, so I didn't have much confidence on who to baptize me this time, at my age I want it done properly. But I have found two brothers who are going to do it. So, your reply is very timely. be blessed and encouraged in our Lord!! :) He has done good things for me these past 2 years. Very good things indeed!!
I came across a couple elders and in an effort to get to know them and love on them I’m reading the BOM. It’s painful. Especially knowing that it’s not true. I want to see where they’re coming from. Will you all pray for me? I am committed to these two young men. 🙏
They also have the star of David inside of at least the Salt Lake and Dan Diego temples. Star of David ends up being satanic too. Two triangles crossing each other. Just learned about that the other day.
Lying for the lord... I was very disappointed in my Mormon friend, when we were discussing the Bible versus Book of Mormon. I told her Mormons think they become gods when they die which is extremely blasphemous according to the Bible. She proceeded to tell me that she read that we call become gods from the Bible itself, and she said it in such a firm way that we both knew she was lying through her teeth but she didn’t respect me enough to admit the truth. I’m not particularly religious but it disgusted me
Just to help you understand. They are groomed to be missionaries to their friends and neighbors..generally speaking, you get so wrapped up in the grooming, you overlook things..not good, but the mind f@ck is deep! And you dont know what you're doing.
Rough stone rolling" - Richard Bushman; "An insider's view of Mormon origins" - Grant Palmer; "No man knows my history" - Fawn Brodie; "In sacred loneliness" - Todd Compton; "Leaving the Saints - How I lost the mormons and found my faith" - Martha Beck; READ THOSE BOOKS TO KNOW FACTS ABOUT MORMONISM, THE MORMON CORPORATION, ETC
So instead of going to the source of all Mormon knowledge, go to accounts from people who are angry and will say a lot of things to slander the people who they think are out to get them? Makes sense.
You're kidding, right? Martha Beck confirmed true that many women back in Brigham Young's day would be so despondent over being kidnapped and forced to be a plural wife that they would climb to the top of the Salt Lake Temple and throw themselves into the Great Salt Lake. Anyone who's even seen pictures knows that the Salt Lake temple isn't anywhere NEAR the great Salt Lake, and besides, it wasn't even finished yet when Brigham Young died. here is a link to an archived article about her book, from her seven siblings. web.archive.org/web/20070221052812/deseretnews.com/dn/view/0%2C1249%2C600109810%2C00.html
Thank you for making this video. I grew up Mormon, and it's interesting to me how much I didn't even know about the Mormon church when I was there (which I think is because they were giving me the 'Christian' version of the Mormon church) and I think anyone saying you're lying or sound angry in this video (which you don't sound angry at all in my opinion) were probably fed the same watered down Mormonism I was also taught. A couple things to add that you didn't mention in this video are as follows: The Book of Mormon also says that Jesus would be born in Jerusalem in Alma 7:10 if I remember right. (Though the Book of Mormon is the most famous and plagiarized fanfiction on earth so that is part of why there are parts that sound very similar to the Bible) In Joseph Smith's translation of Exodus 33: 20, he disproves his entire religion by saying that no man has ever or will ever see the face of God and live. And this was the bible verse that made my dad leave the only religion he'd ever had in his life at that point. The verse is God talking to Moses in the burning bush and telling Moses that no man has ever seen the face of God and lived. I had never seen a crucifix (or cross that someone was wearing) until I was in middle school when one of my older friends in the Mormon church told me that we don't focus on the sad and horrible injustice that happened to Jesus, we only focus on the happiness after. I had actually watched The Passion of the Christ when it came out on DVD and it meant nothing to me, I didn't know who Jesus was, or what the movie meant at all, which looking back on all of it now just breaks my heart, especially now that I'm Catholic (which by the way, for anyone who wants to talk badly about the Catholic church, that's fine they have done horrible things no one's denying that (I actually found myself loving the Catholic Church even more because the second the Diocese I'm with received any reports of a Priest I know molesting young boys, they immediately took action, excommunicated him, and have asked if anyone has any more evidence to come forward - the Mormon Church, on the other hand, is still trying to say they've never done anything wrong) but remember the history while you cry about the books in the bible - you wouldn't have your bible at all without the Catholic Church who put it together first and then it was translated into other languages by Martin Luther (but he couldn't have translated it if there wasn't already an existing bible). The word Catholic, derived from the Greek, means "universal." meaning no matter where you are in the world, if you have a Roman Catholic Missile and are attending mass, you will know what the readings are no matter where you are in the world and can read the readings in your own language (sounds a lot like that verse talking about every nation, race, people, and tongue in Revelations). Godan B. Hinkley said in General Conference that the Jesus Christ of the Mormon church is not the same as the Jesus Christ who saves from every sin that the Christians believe in. When you said there are about a hundred different sects of Mormonism, my very first thought was "That seems like a low estimate." Again, I wanted to say thank you for this video and for spreading the truth of what the Mormon church believes, not the lies they want the world to believe about themselves. I hope you never let the haters stop you from spreading the truth, because at the end of the day, it is the truth, and the truth can't be changed no matter how much they want it to.
@janessaburlingham2489 The Book of Mormon does NOT say that Jesus would be born in Jerusalem. Did you actually go and read Alma 7:10? Here, let me share it with you: 10 And behold, he shall be born of Mary, at Jerusalem which is the land of our forefathers, she being a virgin, a precious and chosen vessel, who shall be overshadowed and conceive by the power of the Holy Ghost, and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God. So... tell me... when you look at a map of Jerusalem... where is Bethlehem? From the center of Jerusalem to the center of Bethlehem it is 5.5 miles If you were to look at the time period in the Book of Mormon that was being written about in Alma... you will see that it has been about 530 years earlier that Lehi had arrived in this new land. These people 530 years later never saw Jerusalem or Bethlehem. When they say AT Jerusalem... they were quite accurate never having seen a map of the Holy Land. But they were told where they came from. The Jesus of the Christian world is a triune God. That means that they say the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are ONE God made of the same substance. That is NOT true. They are three distinct and individual beings. So Gordon B. Hinkley was right. Their understanding of Jesus is behind the times. They are trying to rectify the God of the Old Testament with the God of the New Testament. Before Jesus came to earth... the ONLY God they knew was called Jehovah. Then Jesus is born, grows up and he is telling people he is Jehovah. So if he is the God of the Old Testament... who is this God that is his Father? This was a problem for the Christians. They did not have any explanation but they now had more than ONE God. So 325 years after the death of Jesus... 326 of the Bishops got together and voted on the creation of who Jesus was in relationship to the Father. 2 of the Bishops did not agree and they were excommunicated from the Church. And what did they agree on?? That there is only ONE God... and they are all made of the same substance. The Christian world states: There is but one only living and true God, who is infinite in being and perfection, a most pure spirit, invisible, without body, parts, or passions. We do NOT believe the same way the Christian world does. We know more than they do. We have been given more light and knowledge. And yet... like in the time of Christ... people rejected the further light and knowledge that Jesus gave to the Jews.
I don't care What mormonism teaches.. I am a hindu and so is my friend, one day two young men came to my friend's house and somehow influenced him to go to the mormon church and after that for solid 5 years my friend was badly brainwashed, he had weird beliefs, he always talked about zion and zionists, he said he'll have 5 children , he became EGOISTIC AND GREEDY, it was difficult to be around that man he'd refute everything I say, The church managed to brainwash him so badly that He became a Nasty man for 5 years straight.. THANK GOD he left the church and reverted to Hinduism... I HAVE SEEN HELL in those five years being with him.. Whatever mormonism is, NEVER BELIEVE THAT.
So your friend left one system of lies, gave himself to another system of lies, and then reverted back to a system of lies? That's neither a downgrade or promotion. The polytheistic, henotheistic teachings of Hinduism, like Mormonism, are built on the doctrines of demons. And the whole idea of reincarnation is false and absurd. The true way of salvation, God's way, is based on His saving grace. Every human/demonic system is based on works, including Hinduism.
@@sargonofakkad860 Kaney, let's keep this very simple... The soul is not reborn into another body (human or animal). Reincarnation is a foolish, ludicrous and absurd concept, yet another teaching int his fallen world that belongs on the dung heap of religious falsity. I speak graciously, but Hinduism is a false religion, plain and simple. Do you eat or worship a hamburger? Think about it.
@@jphish8724 In Genesis 2:8-14 tells us that there were 4 rivers ,Pishon,Gihon,Hiddek and the Euphrates river.So it gives us the general area of the garden of eden.Which would be somewhere in morden day Iraq.
@@bus2town I've heard that too, it's a theory by British archaeologist David Rohl, but is not considered academic, nor reliable, and is not widely accepted by serious Bible scholars. FYI, personally I believe the Garden of Eden to be somewhat more metaphorical; I do not ascribe to the LDS, or other traditional interpretations of this and many Bible stories.
I wasn’t there, but I’ve known probably thirty five missionaries and I cannot stress to you enough that they are just 19 year old boys. They are not religious experts or scholars, they do not have a direct line to God 24/7, and they are not perfect. Please don’t assume that their refusal to answer (or maybe just confusion) is proof against their beliefs.
You have to realize that these young 18/19/20 yr olds are not perfect. They do their best to get a message along but they don’t have all the perfect answers
More than 25 years ago the president of the church went on 60 Minutes and in front of millions of people discussed the garments, but yeah we keep that secret
Thanks for making these videos. I always welcome the Mormon missionaries when they come and visit our small town. My wife and I always treat them politely. I have finally come around to listening to the audio version of the book of Mormon so that I can better discuss theology with these missionaries. It is an absolute work of fiction, and probably blasphemy. Hopefully I watching your videos, and others like them, I will be better prepared for those who are trying so hard to convert my wife and I. Instead, I hope to be able to at least plant the seeds of Christianity in their minds so that they will come to faith in Christ. God bless your work.
I joined the lds church in 2005, since I've suffered some of the worst events of my life, I know the truth now, I won't be able to withdraw from them officially because they did enough damage but Jesus is with me, thx for sharing ❤️
They will never remove me from the books or excommunicate me. I have asked and tried... I just am nice to them when they come around... that way they don't want a blood atonement anymore.
@@office801 Yes, you can just stop going, but as long you are on their rolls you will not be free, spiritually or physically. When you join the LDS church you have OBEY what ever the Bishop says and God help you if you don’t. It started out wonderfully warm and fuzzy and turned into my worst nightmare on many levels. Spiritual, physical, financial, health and put me in a situation of nearly being murdered by a psychotic serial killer. I am not exaggerating. The last straw was when I was told that I still owned and was emotionally attached to too many nice things from my past and I must sell them and now live a sparse life including getting rid of my pets and I could not put in a vegetable garden and small chicken coop on my property that I own free and clear. If I didn’t obey the bishop who was a lawyer by day, with regards to this demand, he would have me committed to an institution for elderly destitute people. I am a well educated widow of 62 who has all my mental faculties about me. That was when I demanded to be removed from the church roles. If I actually accomplish getting my name off the rolls then when I die, my spirit will be sent to “Outer Darkness “(Mormon version of hell) where I will never see my husband or family again. And in this life time I will be considered an apostate and must be shunned by other Mormons. So basically a clerk in Salt Lake City can, with a few key strokes undo what Jesus Christ did for me on the cross. I don’t think so!
Same here, but be very careful. I have been where you are and I am telling you that it can and will get worse if you accept their help, the strings attached to that help will tie you up and bind you in every way. There’s other places to get help that don’t come with strings. The food pantries at real churches may not compare to the storehouse, but you will find that freedom is a very good taste. I promise you.
My parents just kept telling me that I should go further into the church if I want to know. Then they say that they wouldn’t keep anything important from me. These secrets must not be very important anyways.
I am non LDS person but married to an LDS person for over 25 years. None of this is a secret. They are actually quite open folks about their history. Dig deep enough into any religions history you are going to find a lot of weird ugly stuff. Overall I have found them to be quite nice folks and they rarely push their doctrine on me.
@@daughterofthemosthigh303 although satan is a fairytale facade, just like mormonism & all middle men, $$ stealing, organized religion's! Christianity is no different.
@@MrNirom1 He is my Messiah my King no fallen angel could ever have His glory . That's why I have a close relationship so I will never be decieved like so many...besides He lives inside me and would never allow Satan to decieve me. I know being raised "Mormon" I was told "you hold out your hand and if you cant touch the angel it's good angel but if you can't they are bad" something like that... I hear "loved ones apear all the time in temples " That's just not Biblical...we are told when someone dies they sleep till judgment day..not rome around town. This is why we are also told in scripture "beware of doctorines of demons" these are "demons" "fallen Angel's" pretending to be someone else...
everything you say probably is true but you forgot to tell that the missionaries do not tell this true because they don't know. Today LDS church don't teaches, probably 90%, that what you said. They are gradually changing to become more Christian churchs look like. They really tried to hide the truth church history. I'm a member and I started to study by my own and it is unbelievable the things I discovered. Things that in 25 years going to church every single Sunday I never heard about it. Really, the members of the church doesn't know about what you disclosed. Mormon people aren't a satanic or bad, they just don't know what happened in the past. In another hand the headquarter of the church probably knows at all of this and try to hide or make up the story. What a shame.
The point about the missionaries not discussing every detail of our church history but you have to agree that these are young people in their late teens or early twenties trying to teach the gospel do you truly expect them to be Church historians? They usually are in a 6-week cycle in the area where they are preaching the gospel they like yourself go to church Sunday school priesthood Relief Society Etc and are taught the fundamentals of the Gospel. and sadly to say most people do the minimum of what they should do Would you not agree? a lot of these subjects truly do not pertain to our Salvation would you not agree? Like many people even numbers of the church where where we are encouraged to seek out all things that are good and true we still become intellectually lazy to some extent and really do not seek out the things that may help us understand all things thankfully the church in recent years have tried to have one place for members to seek out this information in one place Yes I may be that exception and doing my research but let me tell you a little bit about my conversion experience at a very young age I've always wanted learn about God and his plan for me an my parents were not really that religious but they believed that Jesus Christ was their Redeemer and encouraged my sister and myself to go to different denominations When We Were Young with our friends I would ask questions of the the ministers such as why did I read one thing in the Bible and they ie when I asked about the relationship between Jesus Christ and his father and the Holy Ghost when I read the Bible it was clearly known to me that they were three different individuals with one purpose in mind they would tell me that it was decided a long time ago by a group of men that basically Define their beliefs even then I thought it was very confusing it just did not seem correct to me. in my teens I came across the pamphlet The Plan of Salvation I read it and was very interested I actually sought out missionaries so I could talk to them when they explain there belief in the godhead and the belief of pre-existence which I believed in this concept even though I did not know what it meant or what it was called I believe since my early age did I was somehow separated from God and why I would I feel that way if I was never in his presence before I would wonder. Before I was going to be baptized people found out about this and started to give me all this negative material about the church even after reading these things all I can do I was prey to my heavenly father and ask him to let me know what I should do here I am over 40 years since I joined the church and my testimony of the restored gospel is stronger than ever . and I find it very odd that Jess agrees with your statement after you saying that the information I provided was true this absolutely confirms that she has an agenda for whatever reason to put out misleading videos
Oi Sandra, I am Brazilian also. I was a devout LDS for about 20 years, from childhood to my late 20's when I left. The Lord used the ministry of Sandra and Jerald Tanner, for me to discover the early history of the church. I, like you, had never heard any of it during my many years as a member, attending Seminary, Institute, Sunday School, you name it. I have been a biblical Christian for another 20 years now and I am so overjoyed for having found eternal life in the Jesus of the Bible!
Sandra, l agree that the mormon people are good and well intended. The satanic conection comes through free masonry which goes much deeper and darker than l first realised. They have no idea what's going on, what they are realky doing in Temple.
I grew up in the church and it blew my mind when I found out they basically believe God lives on a planet called Kolob or Kolab or some shit. Also I do believe most Mormons are just trying to better themselves. Mormons aren't supposed to be judgmental towards anybody but most are. In all honesty, they lost me at 10%. And dont forget to tell the people about Porter Rockwell lol
Most churches want you to pay some kind of tithing, that’s actually a biblical based belief, that dosent have anything to do with Mormon doctrine. Yeah I guess a couple bucks a month is tough for lazy ass people who don’t like helping the impoverished

When I used to live in California, I went to a ward where people were kind, sociable and friendly to me. But one day, when I was at a grocery store, I went to a check out line behind a lady who goes to the ward and is usually kind to me at church. I called out her name with a greeting, no reaction from her. I tapped her on the shoulders with a greeting along with her name, no reaction from her. Then when I saw her at church the following Sunday, she greeted me with a smile. I decided to look at her as if I didn't know her, and didn't react to her.
Weird. To be fair though, she could have been dealing with bipolar disorder or other mental disorder?
When i was in a dark place, 2 missionaries knocked on my door they were the sweetest girls from america, i met with them several times, they wanted me to be baptised!!! I started to read the book of mormon.. but had never read old or new testament. So i started to read them first.... at this time id only jus accepted that there was a god!!!!!!! Something about the book of mormon jus didnt feel right even then... so i googled and found out most this stuff that was in the video. Jesus is the way.. no sequels.

From the frying pan into the fire. If you really have a personal relationship with Jesus, you don't need a middle man. You are trying, but you are not free to worship as you were intended to until you can do it one on one, without someone in between telling you how you should be doing it. You know in your heart how to do it without interference or instruction Feel God in your heart and welcome Him all on your own. That is a relationship.

@Taiwan92Abarth A cult has no excellent fruits just delusion.
@Taiwan92Abarth my profession involves deconstructing brainwashed cult members. LDS bears all the characteristics of a cult, it's very similar to Scientology in that it's polytheistic and members believe they can 'work' their way upwards and eventually become "Gods".
@Taiwan92Abarth Calling somebody ignorant is very childish. And second, you're in a cult! You're blind! Poor you! You are certainly brainwashed. Jesus is no brother of Satan. There is no polygamy in Heaven. Sex in Heaven??? NOT TRUE! Joseph Smith is a fraud! He took orders from Satan. Oh yeah! He had contact with the Devil. Mormons have been decieved, and are doomed for Hell. I'm glad I'm not a Mormon! I once attended a meeting. I'm never going back! The book of Mormon replaces the King James Bible. Any book that speaks other than the Bible, is Satan talk. You missed the point! I said I belong to no religion. I only believe in God, not man! What's also misleading is that Jesus came where the Aztecs were, and called it the New Jerusalem. No where does that say in the Bible! The New Jerusalem is yet to come. Not of this world!

April it is never too late to do what you know is right, to follow the truth and to come to know the one true God who loves you, created you in His image and desires a relationship with you. Call upon the name of Jesus to be saved, through repentance for your sin and faith in Christ's death on the cross, knowing that this was done as an atonement for your sins so that you might be saved! You are saved through faith alone, by God's grace. There is power in the resurrection of Jesus.. He is alive! Can I share some verses with you that clearly show Salvation? I will share them in the next comment. Also, feel free to email me so we can talk further and help you find a solid Bible preaching church in your area.

The Bible says:
1 John 5:11-12 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. The one who has the Son has this eternal life; the one who does not have the Son of God does not have this eternal life.
Isaiah 59:2 But your sinful acts have alienated you from your God; your sins have caused him to reject you and not listen to your prayers.
Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
All have sinned and fall short of the glory (the perfect holiness) of God, Rom. 3:23
There is no one righteous, not even one, Rom. 3:9-10
Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; it is not of works, so that no one can boast.
Titus 3:5-7 he saved us, not by works of righteousness that we have done but on the basis of his mercy, through the washing of the new birth and the renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us in full measure through Jesus Christ our Savior. And so, since we have been justified by his grace, we become heirs with the confident expectation of eternal life.
Romans 4:1-5 What then shall we say that Abraham, our ancestor according to the flesh, has discovered regarding this matter? For if Abraham was declared righteous by the works of the law, he has something to boast about (but not before God). For what does the scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” Now to the one who works, his pay is not credited due to grace but due to obligation. But to the one who does not work, but believes in the one who declares the ungodly righteous, his faith is credited as righteousness.
Romans 1:4 who was appointed the Son-of-God-in-power according to the Holy Spirit by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 4:25 He was given over because of our transgressions and was raised for the sake of our justification.
2 Corinthians 5:21 God made the one who knew no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we would become the righteousness of God.
1 Peter 3:18 Because Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, to bring you to God, by being put to death in the flesh but by being made alive in the spirit.
John 1:12 But to all who have received him--those who believe in his name--he has given the right to become God's children
John 3:16-18 For this is the way God loved the world: he gave his one and only Son that everyone who believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world should be saved through him. The one who believes in Him is not condemned. The one who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.
This means we must each come to God the same way: (1) as a sinner who recognizes his sinfulness, (2) realizes no human works can result in salvation, and (3) relies totally on Christ alone by faith alone for our salvation.
If you have just trusted in Christ, you need to learn about your new life and how to walk with the Lord. I would LOVE to talk to you more and to send you resources that will help you grow in your understanding of God and your new relationship with Him.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints teaches a false God, a false Jesus Christ and false prophets.

I highly encourage you to seek out the truth and details behind Mormonism and it's history and doctrine and to cling to the truths of the Bible.
Thank you!!! I love Jesus and will seek out more information!!

My favorite LDS catch phrases:
'It's not secret, it's sacred'
'Put your questions on the shelf'
'Swearing is like a cockroach in the sundae'
'Keep sweet and pray'
@Vincent Regimbal There is a difference between secret and sacred. Because we don't talk about sacred things, people like to exaggerate and say that it is secret. Do you have any idea what what Jesus said about things that are sacred? Any idea at all?

I am sure you have told many people about what Books you read have to say about things. Books teach subjects to people when they can't spend the time gathering everyone around the campfire.
My Book tells me many things. Other Books tell me many more things. And I am the one who gets to decide if the Book teaches things that are true... or things that are false.

Using an argument from ignorance fallacy, and circular reasoning just further proves my point. You have no evidence to support the ladder points of the cult you hold so near-and-dear.
Those of us who don’t just take the first thing we read at face value, and apply it to our everyday lives as fact tend to be more reasonable then those who lack the courage to research anything that conflicts with their singular understanding of reality. Learn to think for yourself, and stop relying on religion to think for you.

Oh, and here is a FACT. Joseph Smith WILL NEVER be a "God" to make planets to rule over. And neither will you since there is only one Creator and since there will ALWAYS only be one Creator. Deal with it, there's NOTHING you or anyone else can do to change this fact.
@@richardstorm4603 Well, what I plan to do is wait until I am resurrected and let Jesus Christ decide what I am going to do. You concerned Christians all think you are sent here to be judges of mankind. That comes from praying to a god without body, parts or passions. Satan does not have a body or parts. He does have a passion, which is hatred for the people who pray to him.
My husband was born in the Mormon church. He became a Christian about 15 years ago. His mom, who is a very nice lady, but under the Mormon spell, kept sending missionaries to our home. I was the one usually home & would nicely say “ We are happy in our church, he is not home” They started trying to go behind my back to get ahold of him. Thankfully we moved last year & are in a gated community.

Christopher Foote
My friend Christopher. It does matter because
A) the Book of Mormon contradicts God’s revelation.
B) we care for you guys and believe that you deserve better than living a life in a false teaching and doctrine.
If you choose to remain Mormon then God will still be the judge. The difference is, if you join orthodox (correct teaching) Christianity then you will discover a relationship with God that you never experienced before.
I left the Mormon church almost two years ago and am now attending a non-denominational Christian church. Having said that, I think it's important to remember that just because a Mormon said something at some point, does not mean that it is what all Mormons believe today. Many of the things that were shared in this video are simply not at all what I was taught in my 42 years of weekly attendance at the Mormon church. I realize there are probably references for all of the "facts" that were shared here, but that does not mean this is what all Mormons believe today. Mormons throughout its young history have said all kinds of things that are not considered to be the doctrine of the church today. I also know many Mormons who hold personal beliefs that do not necessarily reflect what is always said at the pulpit. This makes the whole conversation endlessly complicated. It is my hope that we can all offer one another the same grace that we EACH so desperately need in this life.
I understand fully what you're saying. Yes, I can back up every claim made in the video and I do admit that yes, some of the things are not taught today (but were at some point by a "prophet!") so I can't just dismiss the past stuff and pretend it wasn't taught. Most things stated are current beliefs, though, and are not disclosed unless you search it out and learn it for yourself. So many secrets. So much kept hidden. Even people who join the church usually have NO IDEA what is done in the temples or that the goal is to become a god one day. Most people are unfamiliar with Joseph and Brigham and other's polygamy and contradicting teachings about who God is.... etc!! And this info needs to be made known.
I also hear you when you say to extend grace to one another but I simply cannot extend grace to people who are living in ignorance (many willingly) while they are serving an absolutely false god/gods. I need to proclaim the truth! As a Bible-believing Christian who loves Jesus and wants the world to come to know Him as their personal Savior, I have to expose false beliefs and proclaim the truth of the Word of God and I want to share the one and only true God and make Him known.
To be honest, I wasn't looking for a video such as this but the title caught my attention. Reading a lot of these comments, I have to say I agree with you. I had been a Mormon for over 30 yrs & I wasn't taught a lot of the things in this video & I have never heard of families not being able to be with their family members if they were excommunicated from the church. But hey, it seems a lot of church leaders in a lot of different denominations have never even read the Bible. So, the way I look at it is, if you want to be close to God, read the Bible, gain a close relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus and don't sweat the small stuff. We can cant self righteousness till the cows come home and point the finger at any Church and go on a fault finding campaign but that will not make us better people. Just saying... probably good to ask questions and choose your lifestyle with care and thoughtfulness.
i don't want to detract from jessie's comment, but i do have a question for any mormon. how do you know what the true teachings of present day mormonism is? if you can't get it from reading the standard works, or elders quorum lesson manual, or sunday school manual, or the official online mormon website? how do you know for yourself what the true mormon doctrine is, and h ow do you know that jessie is not repeating official modern mormon doctrine? if there is no written documentation for what you believe, aren't you then in danger of leading yourself and others astray with false teachings?
@@longnamenocansayy My take is, if you can't find the info by reading the official works, manuals & etc. then you have to consider the frame of reference. Then too, look at all the changes in the Catholic church. People don't question the changes so it shouldn't be surprising that the Mormon church makes changes. I believe there is such a thing as spiritual growth so maybe... It's why we need to keep studying the Bible. God opens our eyes when we're ready and able to understand.
Julia Dawn Olson Just to throw my two cents in; I come from a very heavily influenced Mormon home and my mother believes every single point made in this video. The bottomline here, in my opinion, is not whether all Mormons believe the LDS church doctrine or have even heard of most of these things. It’s that this church was not founded on biblical principals and biblical account of Christ Jesus. Which makes it a false Christ (Matthew 24:24) and because they think works and baptism and repentance saves they will be cast out (Matthew 7:21-23) Ignorance is not the same as innocence and we should be mindful of what people who speak “Christianese” say. That’s my take
I'm an ex mormon and a lot of the contradictions, awful past evils of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young are never taught. I didn't know that the star symbol was satanic until this video. You live in a bubble that brainwashes you and I stayed out of terror of going to hell if I left. I suffer from Scrupulous OCD (constant obessive thoughts that one wrong move will send you to hell) and the Mormon church completely messed me up to the point I wanted to commit suicide because I was going to hell anyway. Since leaving I still have the OCD but being a Christian is healing me not destroying me. God is merciful and is my Savior who will not push me to hell for being human. Leaving the church was the hardest and most freeing thing ever.
sometimes there is healing from intrusive thoughts. sometimes it's a poisonous plague in the brain that you can't get rid of.
i had it for 60 years because of something in my childhood. for me it was just taking name of jesus and rebuking the evil spirits that had been tormenting for so many years.
but not everyone has the same thing. a lady at work has terrible intrusive thoughts that drive her to thoughts of suicide. so i know it happens to a lot of people.
i hope for sure you find peace of mind somehow.
praise god.
As someone who was adopted by a Mormon family at the age of 9, I can positively tell you that I was taught most of the stuff that she is talking about during Sunday school and also during 'Sacrament" (same thing as listening to your pastor but it's different speakers for the Mormon church). I'm so glad that my mom got out of this church and that she didn't push me to get out, too. If she would have pushed me, I would have not listened to her. Instead, she let me come to her to ask her why she left. She told me and showed me how she was fooled into believing in a pagan religion after she was raised a Baptist. Before I was adopted at age 9, I believed in Jesus Christ, but I really didn't understand Christianity. So, it was easy for me to get sucked into that pagan religion of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (BIG contradiction in that name). I've been out since 1993 after I joined the military and got stationed in Germany.
Oh, and here is a FACT. Joseph Smith WILL NEVER be a "God" to make planets to rule over. And neither will you or anyone else since there is only one Creator and since there will ALWAYS only be one Creator. Deal with it, there's NOTHING you or anyone else can do to change this fact.
Wow, thank you for sharing. Praise the Lord that you and your mom left the lie for the truth!
JS is rotting in hell now🤣
@@itsmejessie 😂😂😂
@richardstorm4603 In 1974 I joined the Army and was stationed in Germany until I got out in March of 1979.
It was there that I went to Germany as a Catholic and left as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
One thing I learned was that the facts I thought were facts were not. I now know I have the correct facts. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Lord's Church upon this earth. It was created for the humans who would be sent to this planet right before the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ to prepare the people of this world for the changes that will be made for the millennium.
What is the major sign to mankind that the 2nd coming will happen soon?
Here is a revelation from Joseph Smith to the world:
“I have asked of the Lord concerning His coming; and while asking the Lord, He gave a sign and said, ‘In the days of Noah I set a bow in the heavens as a sign and token that in any year that the bow should be seen the Lord would not come; but there should be seed time and harvest during that year: but whenever you see the bow withdrawn, it shall be a token that there shall be famine, pestilence, and great distress among the nations, and that the coming of the Messiah is not far distant.’”
The bow has been seen this year. And remember this... it does not have to rain to see the rainbow. You can often see it when spraying water on the lawn on a sunny day.
I find it funny that you can state a FACT yet because it is a future event you are proclaiming yourself to be a prophet and declaring that what Joseph Smith will or won't be.
The only FACT your presented was that you "believe" Joseph Smith will never be a God. And it is amazing to me that you say "planets" to rule over, when I would say "Galaxy" to rule over.
Ever notice when looking at Galaxies from the Hubble Telescope... that you can not see the center of any of them because the center of all of them is lit with a light so bright? In the center of each Galaxy is where the Glory of the God of that place shines forth. That is what I believe. So you thinking that any one who becomes like our Father in Heaven only rules over a few planets is just silly.
People rarely hear that M-O-R-M-O-N is one letter from M-O-R-O-N. It is believed that Joseph Smith had a hatred of religion and was a con man, so he chose to add the second M. Mormons claim that they believe the Holy Bible, but the Book of Mormon and their other books contradict the Holy Bible many times. When people are talked to about becoming Mormon, many of them ask questions that the young people don't know the answers to, so they research to answer and then find out many wrongs in their religion, then some quit.
Give me an example of where the Book of Mormon contradicts the bible doctrinally please. Thanks
Mormon was actually just a rude nickname people gave us a while back because they thought we worshipped Mormon, so what you are saying is false.
Did you know shirt is one letter away from shit? I'm so glad I don't wear shirts anymore, don't want to be known as a shit wearer.

Thanks for your comment! I really appreciate it. I want to encourage your family to seek out the true God of the Bible. I know that coming out of a belief system that is false in so many ways may cause you to feel angry or exhausted or just over it... But I have many, many commenters here on my channel as well as great friends who have left the LDS church and have found truth within Biblical Christianity. They are now living lives of freedom, hope, joy and peace knowing truth and having a personal relationship with the true Jesus Christ. If you would like to talk further, I am here. And I will be praying for you and your decisions ahead. Much love, Jessie

I was once visited by two fine young missionaries. I was invited to join the church. I asked them for help in suderstanding the Book of Mormon. I asked, "Do I understand that the Book of Mormon is the latest information from God for the human rase?" "Yes." I asked them to help me understand Mosiah 13:16-19. "Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy... The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God." They had no answer for me. I asked them why they did not follow the "latest" information from God for the human race. Answer, "We would get in trouble if we did that." I told them that my church followed that commandment, how could I join a church that only followed 9 out of 10 commandments. I prayed for them.
Another mind blowing fact, that the day when you receive your name, EVERYONE IS GIVEN THE SAME NAME!
Another mind blowing fact is that missionaries are tremendously pressured to baptize as many people as possible. In fact, missionaries make use of physiology techniques to deceive people and achieve their daily goals. The LDS church is a billionaire global organization which promotes missionary work and marriages in order to increase its membership and therefore its profits.
@@dannyvalladares5324 Yes! They trick you! Send the most youthful person to your house, that is well mannered and sweet person...
@@dannyvalladares5324 how ELSE are they gonna keep the corporation financed.
Here's a mind blowing fact.
Tricking people into joining doesn't work, and is counter productive, and if a mission president can't see that, he should be released from his calling.
Missionaries teach the gospel and the Book of Mormon. No psychological tricks, no deceptions.
Also, the Church does not need money. The Church has plenty of money. So, that blows up the theory that we need members so they give more money.
@@lindalds I was a full time missionary! I know how things work! At that time I didn't realize I was doing such things cuz I was brainwashed. It's been 5 years since then and now my mind is clear to see things people like you do not want to see. When it comes to the money, how do you thing the church made its fortune? It's obvious. Missionary work, temples and marriages are investments foe the chuch, however, they sell those to its members and investigators as blessings, salvation, exaltation and happiness.
People sadly get drawn in by the awesome fellowship that they experience and it is no wonder that “feelings” are so strong to join. But start asking the wrong questions and not accepting the bogus answers and see how long that fellowship lasts. Sinners don’t get to be accepted in the LDS church while Christians understand that church is specially for the sinners, all of us.
Not true. Everyone sins sometimes, however small. That is only true if they commit something horrible like rape, and don't every say sorry and repent for it.
What a silly comment.
Bro I was literally taught about Polgamy when I was 14-15 in Institute and was curious to know more and context and ask and was given source material from religious teachers, and became informed about anything I wanted to learn and was given historical references and learned alot and prayed about it and understood some
of the possible purposes. But I was never denied answers rather given references and encouraged to pray and study.
😊
am a recent convert...and within 4 months in already a 'jacked' Mormon. Why? They're as bad as the catholic church when it comes to hiding child predators. One ex-bishop has a pizza place, ONLY hires young teenage girls. His wife hired me. He was angry. I SAW him being inappropriate with teen girls. I went to the bishop and was immediately gas-lit. Likes it NOT effing 2023. Then i was fired. These schmucks are PATHETIC!
I rented a basement from a Mormon lady for a while. I went to the ward or stake or something a couple of times. A couple of missionaries came out and talked to me and you are right. it seems like we hit it off so well. They wanted to baptize me right away. Oh my goodness.
But I got busy and started researching everything on the Internet. When I came across the part where they think that God the father is a human being, that was it for me. I went to her and said”You believe that God is a man? So who created God?”
She said to God was created by another God who was in turn created by another God before him, etc., ad infinitum. I told her, “when you find the first God who was not created by any other god, That’s the God I’ll be worshiping!”
I mean I guess I’m supposed to be merciful and compassionate, but really what I want to say is “how dumb can you be?”
You should, and let God Do the rest....Its the True Church"
@@kennyhunter3323 Ok
Ah, we nearly got thrown out of Temple Square for saying something like that!
You don't know even the first things of "The Word of God", but yet you DEMAND to know who the FIRST being was? That's like not even knowing how to count from 1 to 10, but yet you REFUSE to believe in numbers until you are told "who invented the first number"?- And you ask "How dumb can you be?"

I still have problems with my wife every day and she don't believe in the holybible or any Christian church she gets mad when I go to my church on Sunday and all week I try and read the bible daily. I'm sad because she wants to lead my kids to her false religion and don't want to listen to me. So please brothers and sister can you pray for my wife norma lindan. Thank you God bless you all.

Because most of what she is say is absolute BS.

Sarah ericksen really ?!
I'm a former mormon too shes spot on
Your right 🤣 but it’s good preparation though I like watching her videos, prepares me to answer questions that people have on my mission
My Mormon Mission... God forgive me. So I was raised LDS, my father served an LDS mission. Growing up in a small Utah town all of my friends went on missions, but I didn't want to because I felt in my heart that the LDS church was not true. I never believed in Joseph Smith or the BOM. So I went to college, also in Utah. There I met other friends who were confused as to why I wasn't on a mission at the age of 19. I was under so much pressure from my family and friends to go. I was told that I would never get married and that I promised to save people before I was born, but that I would be letting them down if I didn't go. So I caved in and went. I never read the BOM until I was in the MTC. I still felt that the church was not true and that the BOM was invented. On the mission I followed all the rules to the exact detail (it's my personality). But every time I taught about good ol' Joe and his book I felt horrible and never believed it. I feel like the mission was an incredibly aggressive sales pitch for Mormonism. I was required to keep statistical data that was reported to the HQ every week. It's honestly like trying to sell a used car with no tires. But I grinned and bore the two year event and "returned with honor." Now I feel really bad because I drove people away from the true Christ (if he actually exists). So God please forgive me.
I know we spoke in a comment under one of my other videos... can I encourage you to read the book of John in the Bible? And also Romans? Just pick it up and read and seek God. Let Him show you exactly who He is. He is absolutely a God of forgiveness and you have always seen that Mormimonism was a lie... so because you are now free from that, my encouragement to you is simply to seek out God and find Him through His written Word, the Bible. If you read the New Testament like a child... just let it speak to you so you can discern for yourself who God is and what is truth. The RUclips video on Micah Wilder and his testimony while on his LDS mission is very powerful. I'm praying for you, Jeremy! God loves you so much.
@@johnlee1352 You're right. I never read the Book of Mormon before my mission. I should have clarified to state from cover to cover. I read portions in church, seminary, family home evening etc...

@@johnlee1352 Why are you making this personal. My intellectual reasoning is in part thanks to BYU where I earned my masters degree. It was also through reason that I learned the LDS Church is not true. I invite you with love to do the same. God bless.
Hi Jessie, you are very informative. I grew up in a Reorgaized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints family home. ( Not Mormon but shared some main beliefs. ) I Believed our church was the only way to salvation and that every one else is going to hell and that the Catholic church was the church of the devil. I was a non active member for years because I kept silent.
To make a long story short, at the age of 40 I came out of my bubble when I started asking questions and was not happy with the answers I received. I explored other Faiths. It says in the Bible that God wants us to question everything because in doing so we will find the truth. Wow has my journey of faith changed since coming out of the bubble.
I have so many stories of how God has blessed me and those I love.
All I need is my Bible.
God's salivation is for everyone, not just a chosen few. There is good and bad in all religion........but I also believe more than anything what my Grandfather told me. He said salvation is not how many times you go to church......or what church you go to......it's how you live your life, how you treat your next door neighbor, our actions and the kind of person you are in your heart.
God loves everyone. There is good and bad in everyone.
I would also like to point out that in the Bible it says why satan was kicked out of heaven and who he is/was.
The Bible are the only words I need. I pray you will be blessed in your search for the truth. You are definitely on the right track.
Thanks for listening or reading my post. Peace Out.
My answer should not sound harsh to you as it is difficult to show how I really mean it by writing. I mean it with love. Sorry you´re wrong! You think your way is the same as for example the Christian way.
But the way with Jesus Christ is unique. He is the way, the truth, the life and no one cometh to the father but through him. It´s about our sin before God. That made the gap between God and men. (the spiritual and also bodily dead).True repentence is what God wants and always wanted from us. He loves us but will judge correctly. As everybody is somehow guilty he would have to judge all of us. The wages of sin is death. This is also what you might have heared about heaven and hell. I know that in some famos east religions they talk rather of reincarnation and drop hell. But hell is real. So God in his love for us send his only begotten son that he would pay our wages. He suffered and died instead of us.
When you truly repend and accept Jesus Christ as your savior and give your live to him in a serious prayer, you will be free of sin (wages of..) immediately and will receive his holy spirit which also means that you will be bornagain.
A bornagain Christian. You would notice the difference. Please then (go on ) praying to Got in Jesus Name or to Jesus Christ and read the bible. It´s not about being rich and always of promised good health. It´s not about energies. It´s not about wishes to be fulfilled. Its not about meditating and hearing inner voices (I had my experiences... with "Angels", "Jesus" and others) Find out. It´s really serious. Please find out. There are also many false preachers.
It´s not about (trying) to be good. It´s about accepting his salvation. But , as I am not native english speaking I don´t know many, but you may listen to Paul Washer, John Lennox, ...and of course going on reading the bible.
Please excuse me if I misunderstood something.
May God bless you.
Am exmormon. Almost all of this is true. I can't say all of it is true because there were things I didn't even know about, but theologically speaking make sense with the church gospel.
I started investigating the church over a year ago. It fell apart really fast. The CES letter sealed the deal. Christianity followed soon after. So glad to be free of those cults.
Although you know how thrilled I am you are free of Mormonism, you know from past comments that my heart breaks that you have also rejected Christianity. You don't need to go into details on why or anything, as we've spoken in the past. But please know that you are still in my prayers RB. ❤

❤ thank you for sharing and standing for TRUTH. I was raised mormon and now born again. I've got many loved ones and friends who are mormon and I feel God has called me to be a witness to them as well as wherever the Holy Ghost leads.
Truth is it’s a Masonic gang stalking cult that get their blessings from meth ghettos also run by masons
They make mentally challenged people feel special then have them act stupid to normal people of society
The LDS church has a very beautiful shell but the inside is quite ugly. I was an extremely active member up to a year ago and I loved the church. One day I decided that I would investigate the "rumors" I've heard about the organization and I was completely shocked to learn about the confirmed lies and cover-ups that the leaders have said and done through the years. It's bad guys. A warning, don't buy into the current leaders' lies. The members are super ignorant and most are very apologetic, you are very looked down on if you question the the teachings or history of the church. It saddens me to say that the church can NOT be true and those who don't agree have not done their research. Be brave and go into Sherlock Holmes mode. You will thank me one day. Thank you Jessie for making these videos, God bless!
Did you inactivate yourself or just went online to complete & submit the resignation form? What about a letter to the ward bishop, was that necessary?
I dare u to give me one reason why this religion is “ugly” and ill prove u wrong. Good luck.
MATMAN The mormon religion has a dark past but I assume you refer to the church’s current state. Ok I give you one reason among many: The church encourages preteen girls and teenage girls to talk about their masturbation habits with old men behind closed doors. Thats sick and NOT ok.
@@TEA-fj3ut quitmormon.com easiest way.
@@MATMANYT following the mormon false prophets and its religious path killed me. That is ugly. My short version of my testimony is under Sean O'Brien's comment.
What I don't get is if the church is as bad as you say it is, I wonder why since I became a member and began reading the book of mormon and the bible at Church, I've been blessed like never before and have made drastic changes to my life? I have a testimony in jesus Christ and Heavenly father because of my my faith that the church helped me gain.

This is not reasonable, all good thing come of Christ. In the Bible we find the Savior making this statement to some those who would not believe. “You are of you Father the devil, he was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth because there IS NO TRUTH IN HIM” the devil never supports those who follow him with spiritual gifts, he is not capable. He may give that which will not last, which is temporal thing, but by and by these thing fade away. He cannot enlighten with spiritual truth or make you have feeling like the Holy Ghost, again he is not capable of this kind of love, which love come from our Heavenly Father.

I gave this religion a chance once. I prayed that if the book was "true" for God to send me a sign. I fell asleep reading the book and woke up to a tornado siren (we all had to go to the shelter due to a massive tornado touching the ground). I prayed that if this was the sign to make the tornado go away. The sun and nice day came about 5 mins later. I tell missionaries this when they come visit and they are speechless.
I did all that Mormon stuff including going on a mission… the day I walked off the plane from a mission…got a honorable release and never went back to church…The interesting thing… no one ever called… not even the bishop that just released me. I found out the most important thing, the truth…I was extremely expendable. Bottom line… LDS church is a business. I was played a fool and now I have found true spirituality.
@ Joe Cox. Oh come on Joe. There is much more to the story that what you are telling. I wonder why no one called? Not one person? No one! Wow Joe... this smells awful fishy to me. Honorable release and never went back to church. LOL Something stinks to high heaven.
My step dad verbally and physically abused me most of my life and he was a cop and follows the Mormon faith and when I went to his bishop to ask for help I was told go back and say I’m sorry and obey him with out question
Oh goodness. I am so sorry to hear this. Do you have any beliefs now after leaving the LDS church?
Im sorry that you were so mistreated by your father and those who are meant guide and nurture- that is not Christ-like at all. I hope you are healing now!

I learned of this almost 2 years ago I was devastated, as was my children. My children are the ones that helped me to see the truth and the light. I am thankful to be out of the lds church. I was a member for 32 years. My husband at the time had dementia/Alzheimer's and he died this past November. Going through faith crisis watching my husband passed away and having to come to the realization that everything I believed in was false was extremely hard to bear. I have been sharing the truth to friends that are willing to listen. Have you noticed that when you try to help friends or family see the truth of the lies of this church how angry they become and pull away from you? I remember going through all of that I was so afraid that my whole life was going to come crashing down on me, which it did I went through the process of denial and unbelief. But now that I am free and my eyes are wide open I have never been happier. Thank you for your beautiful videos. It's true that the truth will set you free. You are so lucky to of recognize all of this while you are young. So many years of wasted time in the temple so many wasted hours that I could've been doing something more productive. Such a waste of money paying tithing to a church that I didn't even realize that they were paid men. No more being afraid that if I say anything or do anything that I'm not worthy to be in the presence of God. I know different now. And I'm not afraid.
You might be thankful now, wich you shouldn't be, but you will regret leaving. Trust me.
RED VELVET CUPCAKE never
RED VELVET CUPCAKE and the truth will set you free. I am not a Mormon, but I see so many testimonies from ex Mormons that say what your church is all about. My God is not secretive..... I have a relationship with Jesus Christ and it is all FREE. Why do you get so defensive?
@@colleenbaida7690 I've heard alot of ex Mormon statements aswell. I say statements instead of testimony because a testimony is a spiritual witness of the Gosple of Jesus Christ that is given by The Holy Ghost. However I've heard there statements aswell. And every single one of them, is a lie. So far that I've heard. They don't tell the truth or they tell half's truths and mix it with their lies or their own understanding.
Clayton Knight Your statement is exactly what the Mormon church teaches. You have no human thought process and if you believe differently it is a lie and possibly from the devil. On the other hand, followers of Christ are just that! We follow Christ teachings and nobody else’s. All this is in the Holy Bible. There is so much Scripture to back up false prophets, and your teachings (I don’t have time to write down), I know the Mormons believe that the Bible has many flaws and they do not believe. However, they will pick and choose the Scriptures they want to quote so they can feel like they are Christ like. I myself, have a personal relationship with the true Jesus and He has given me so much peace and joy. I don’t deserve it, but He is a gracious God and only He is the one I go through in prayer. My prayer for you and the others, is that you search out what is happening in the church of Mormonism. God Bless.
every church says their church is the only way, this is NOT just taught from the LDS
I was in the church for 53 years and only became a Christian a little over 3 years ago. I
When I questioned the cross they always told me we don’t celebrate it. That’s the only info they would say. I knew there was more behind because I felt deceived.
@tonyawhaley1781 If a family member dies in automobile crash... do you hang a picture on your wall of them dead in the crash?
The world has enough pictures of Christ hanging on the cross that no one forgets how he died. And yet there are still many who will say that many many many men also died on the cross.... so Jesus wasn't the only one.
The LDS choose to show pictures of How he Lived.
It’s not the same. Have you read the Bible the true Bible not the Mormon version? I suggest you visit different religions and make your decision based on that not what you grew up with. The Bible states there should be no idols except him. Morning idolize Joseph Smith not God. You should study the Bible more.
@@MrNirom1 that’s all in good but you aren’t getting his life story. I feel bad you all that only celebrate his. His life, his whole life setting is before he came, while he was here and his death. I bet you don’t have a clue of his last words on the cross. It is finished. I suggest you research his whole life.
@@tonyawhaley1781 Well Tonya I will tell you this. His last words are totally dependent upon which version you read. Right?
Let's see... in Matthew he says that the last words of Jesus are:
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Then Matthew says: 50 ¶ Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
Now let us look and see what Mark has to say:
34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
So Matthew and Mark say the same thing. Let us see what Luke has to say:
46 ¶ And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
And now for the last testimony of what his last words were... from John:
30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
So there ya have it Tonya. 4 versions, 2 are the same... 2 are different. So let me now ask you.
You said I bet you don’t have a clue of his last words on the cross. It is finished.
Now you know that that might not have been the last words he said. We really don't know do we????? But I think you would like it to be.. It is finished but as you can see ... that was just one of four.
I spent most of my life in the church. Off and on again. Was not really active until later in my life. I took out my endowments at the age of 40 . I left at age 55 now 60. My family was always active in the church and they turned their backs on me as well as my wife and a couple of my children. I'm still married but not much longer. We agreed to just not talk about religion. But my wife has never passed up the chance to remind me of the huge mistake. And I just can't go on that way. Our marriage isn't a marriage anymore. Not even friendship remains at this point. Pretty miserable living with someone who you no longer have anything in common with. I'm pretty lonely aside from my relationship with my savior. I need a woman in my life. And because of my age and the fact I haven't dated in over 40 years. Just don't know where to start. Pray for me.
Sir, you need Jesus. Jesus said, "Follow Me." Jesus is the good Shepherd. Jesus will never let you down.
John 10:27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; 28 and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.
Jesus is my substitute (i.e. Isaiah 53:4-6). He is way more than my example. A substitute does it for us. An example shows us how but we must still do it. He personally paid the penalty for all my sin. As a result, of His mercy I want to obey His commandments.
Jesus as my righteousness, as our law-keeper (i.e. Romans 5:19, 1 Corinthians 1:3; Isaiah 61:10) The biblical truth is that Jesus kept the law for us
I know for sure that I have been completely forgiven (i.e. Hebrews 10:14-17) and am accepted by God (i.e. 1 Peter 2:9).
I know God is with me, providing and protecting me (i.e. Romans 8:31-39, Psalm 23).
I know for sure that when I die I will live eternally with Heavenly Father (i.e. Philippians 1:23).
I have no doubts because my acceptance by God depends entirely on Jesus’ work for me and he has already accomplished it (John 19:30).

Sir, please dont give up. You did the right thing. I will pray for you okay. I just turned 60 this month. I am alone also, aside from having the Dear Lord in my life. Hang in there, my Friend.
That's what I used to think. I've never been happier since I've decided a woman isn't what I need.
What I needed was to be ok with being alone. It's not only liberating, but I don't worry about trying to make someone else happy.
Remember, you at one time thought your current wife was what you needed, how did that work out?
No one to waste your time trying to do the impossible of jumping through hoops to make them happy... No one to disappoint=no one who will disappoint you. Think of being alone as a win-win situation.

Of course they won't tell someone all these things on an initial visit. They usually have about 10 minutes to introduce themselves. I can't imagine a salesman knocking on my door and saying, "Hi, I'm Dave. I wear secret underwear. Would you like to hear what I have to sell you?"
This is the same reason we don't teach about mortgages or sex in kindergarten. Or why a university professor teachers things in a certain order. You start with the basics and add to it as the deeper information will be understood.
Of course those blasted Mormons won't tell you any of this when they first knock on your door.
they aren't blasted, just highly indoctrinated kids, that if they don't fulfill their mission their WHOLE family doesn't get blessed. It is really a sucky thing but that is what they do. These SHELTERED kids are turned out into a very scary world and told they MUST convert people or their family's STANDING in the celestial kingdom suffers. They get guilted into ALL they do, and it is such a tragedy. The pressure on these KIDS is so enormous. If they bomb or don't complete their mission most of the eligible girls SHUN them as a bad candidate for marriage. They MUST marry, and reproduce to be a TBM, and in good standing with their ward.
REALLY????
This is such a lot of lies!

@@savannahsmiles1797 Thank you for your post. Didn't know the kind of pressure the young missionaries are under. Have a great New Year. God Bless you, your friends and family.
I grew up Mormon. I just want to throw up when I hear anything about this church. It’s totally a cult. I denounced the church and everything that has to do with Mormonism. I’m so glad God open my eyes to the truth I am now a follower of Jesus! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Oh praise God! ❤
I am glad you found Jesus! God bless you, sister!
Praying there are more mormon members will come to Jesus. Thank you sister and God bless you.
Praise GOD; most ex-mormons are so damaged they become atheist.
I’m sorry you were led astray. Maybe at some point in your life you will realize that whatever information you learned that made you hate the church so much was false.
As a current Mormon I can tell you that much of what you said in this video is true. Though I don't see most of it in the sinister light that you try and paint it. Most differences between what you believe and Mormons believe are not sinister, they are just different. A few specific things I want to point out. 1. "satanic" star symbols on the temple. There are actually several different version of both 5 and 6 pointed stars on many temples. The 5 pointed start was used in early Christianity to symbolize the 5 wounds of Christ (two in his hands, two in his feet, and 1 in his side) So not satanic. If the bottom point is elongated is represents Jesus coming to earth. The 6 pointed stars if they are displayed prominently are a reference to the star of David. Sometimes they are just supposed to look like stars, the twinkly kind. 2. The mountain meadows massacre. 100% agree this was a horrific event. We all know that, but Brigham young was hundreds of miles away when it happened and had no idea about it until weeks later. So he was not involved. The Mormons were a persecuted people, they had been driven from their homes in Missouri and Illinois, often in the dead of winter and in the middle of the night. Governor Lilburn Bogs had even passed the Mormon extermination order making it legal to shoot Mormons on sight. (that law stayed on the books until 1976) So yes, these settlers were a little on edge. It was still wrong, nobody is trying to justify it, but context matters. 3. Was Brigham young an evil racist? By today's standards, absolutely! By the standards of the 1860's he was pretty tolerant. Really anyone who was not actively hunting down runaway slaves and hanging them from trees was a bleeding heart liberal back then so lets keep things in context. It should also be noted that nobody was ever actually sentenced to death for having relations with a person of color. Now you can say his words were still evil but prophets from the Old Testament say a person should be killed for wearing clothing of mixed cloth, so I guess we all have a little crazy in our background. Interesting note, near the end of Joseph Smiths life he became an abolitionist himself and in 1844 wrote a lengthy letter calling for all slaves to be freed. If you are really trying to spread truth then you need to include the context.
Do you know for sure if you died today where you would spend eternity?
That is all that matters the moment you die.
Become an ex-Mormon, a true Christian, and get your feet out of all this theological bunk.
LDS. Huge push on FAMILY VALUES. As long as your LDS ( I'm no Mo). And stay married. I got divorced from a Mo and I was instantly excommunicated from the entire family.
Which is fine.
Seeing her father walk around the house in his Jesus jammies used to make my eyeballs throw up. And watching a bunch of grown adults crying their eyeballs out with their speeches aka "testament" about how much they believe in "the prophets" and Joey Smith (the pedophile) was depressing.
I take it you don't understand about divorces. When you get a divorce the person you are getting a divorce from their family will stop having anything to do with you because they're taking their family member side.I also have a feel they never liked you in the first place because you sound like real dumbass.
@@user-yk5wc4nd7m this was their experience.
I'm very happy I left the LDS church. Left 3 months ago and have adapted to my new life after religion. I choose to live my life without any religious training now.
Well, I am happy you left the LDS church. I will pray that you seek out the truth of the Bible. Just because the Mormons distorted and corrupted it and twisted it's meanings to promote their cult does not mean that there isn't a true God. He loves you! And He is so real!!

Geez..it sounds like whoever came up with LDS was on LSD??????
Mormons are legendary for their "newspeak" . as a jr high kid I was told not to tell people what church I attended, but to invite kids to church. That people would prejudge us without getting to know us...they were right.
In high school i went to seminary classes before school, they had us study the KJV in my sophomore year. I kept reading it and by my senior year had many difficult questions and deep misgivings about what they were saying to outsiders vs. what they were teaching me, as i was preparing for missions, we had been to the temple and participated in baptism for the dead, and that KJV kept coming up, you know, John 3:16&17...Eph 2: 8-10...stuff like that...so I started asking questions.
The questions were not welcome. And after a period of time, I wasn't either.
Fast forward 2 years I join the Marines...on Sunday if you go to church you can escape the watchful eye of the drill instructors for 2 hrs! So I went to the LDS service...within 2 weeks of filling out the visitors card, tha minister in charge met me at the door and explained where all the other denominations met...I was blackballed! Not that I'm hurt, just a fun example of LDS love....the holy spirit got ahold of me a few years later, and I'm saved now. Pray for your LDS frieds, the indoctrination theye been through is powerful...they're convinced if they lose their membership they're eternally cursed...it's sad really, no assurance of salvation.
Your telling the truth, keep it up.
Titus 3:5-7 "according to his mercy"
Thank you. Beautifully said.
YOur experience is completely different from mine Being Raised LDS (church of Jesus Christ of) I was taught to tell everyone what church I attended and to be proud of it. I did and I"m glad. Then my pentecostal friends invited me to their church when I was about 12. I asked my mom what I should do. She said I should go (which I did, those drums were pretty cool even though i sure wasnt used to them but still pretty cool) Then she said invite them to your church which I did. this was over 20 yrs ago and to this day I'm still friends with them. It sounds like your problem is with certain members and how they act but not "the church"
@@dukeball4ever1 I would say the problem is the church. The church wants you to worship a god that was once a man, wants you to make fun of Jesus Christ and say that he is the brother of Lucifer and wants you to believe another gospel.
The Bible calls this idolatry, blasphemy and believing another gospel damns you to eternal torment in hell. Gal. 1:8
I had four LDS missionaries in my home and they wanted me to read the Book of Mormon and pray about it and God would automatically tell me it is true. I showed them from the word of God that I do not pray to their heavenly father who was once a man, so I would not get the answer that they would get. I worship the Creator.
The true and living God the Father, who loves you and created you, was never once a man.
Job 9:32 “In truth I know that this is so;
But how can a man be in the right before God?
“For He is not a man as I am that I may answer Him,
That we may go to court together.
I Tim. 1:17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
The true and living God was never once a man. He exists by His own power. He is self-existent. He lives outside of the time, space and matter because He created time, space and matter. He has no mother or father, does not need air, food, water, sex, sleep, shelter, clothing, etc.. He is omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, immutable, infinitely holy, eternal and so much more. The highest heavens cannot contain Him. He created Adam out of the dust of the ground. No wife needed. No pre existence.
Why don't you worship your Creator?
Jesus Christ never said you had to believe the Book of Mormon was true to get into heaven.
Jesus Christ never said you had to believe Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God to get into heaven.
Jesus Christ never said there was salvation only in the LDS church.
Actually I was disfellowshipped, the chaplain told I was welcome to attend any other service on the base....he did not say I was not welcome to attend theirs, but I was asked to leave (kinda the same thing)
@@dukeball4ever1 l once defended the church as you do, untill l researched and saw through the deception. You have simply not discovered the actual truth of the Mormon Corp yet. So many are taken in by their manipulative behavior. They change doctrine like most change underwear.
God is not the author of confusion.
I was recently asked come to their church under the guise of Christianity. I had no idea they were Mormons until I got there. Soon as they talked about going to temple, gold plates and Joseph smith. I was totally confused because I know true Christians do not believe in that. Then one of their missionaries was talking to me and opened their bible and at the bottom it said Mormon. That’s when I was even more puzzled because I had no idea about Mormonism. Literally recently I am learning about it and another missionary asked me what my religious background is, in front of their followers. When I said I was raised in Islam but I don’t agree with the religion. That’s when one of their followers told me it’s all the same and most religions come from the Middle East have similar beliefs. So later through text I asked their missionary if they practice polygamy, which I am totally against and one of the reasons I don’t subscribe to Islam, the missionary told me they used to do it under the directions from God. So I have been telling them I’m busy and don’t have time to come over for “bible” study. Honestly I’m kind of afraid to offend them so I’m trying to respectfully decline their offer to “save my soul.” Thank you for exposing who they are because I almost fell into that cult but luckily I always do my research before committing to anything. 😅 you’re right they definitely lie about a lot of things until you catch them in their lies.
Get away from all organized religion. Nature is what we should worship. I was born into a Muslim family but we were never super devout. My older sister is now a Christian. I don’t believe in either. I pray to higher power and Mother Nature.
@@Gangsterkitty401meow good to know I’m not alone. Same here I feel like ancient spiritual ways are more effective but all organized religions look down on them and demonize the old ways yet many religions have holidays that are pagan holidays and they have changed the rituals. I know relatives who do black magic and have good results but then they pray for forgiveness from Allah. Which is an oxymoron if you ask me.
Congratulations to each of you for getting away from organized religion.

Only one correction: Freemasonry is not occult. It is a fraternity. Freemasonry is not a religion and it is not a substitute for religion. Freemasonry is open to any religious man that believes in a god. Atheists are not acceptable in Freemasonry. BTW, the Shriner's Hospital is a Masonic endeavor.
This is so sad to watch. I feel sorry that you feel the need to attack the LDS church. I am a proud and deeply converted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. LDS general conference is coming up next weekend! I hope that many of you will take the time to watch it and see what the Church really is about.
hey, I was the same way about 2 years ago, then I took a step back an analyzed things. Sure, the church teaches generally good things that will make you happy, but ultimately it can not be true (or highly unlikely anyway) as the claim of it can not be verified. For this, consider a simple experiment.
Since 2 people from two different religions can pray about something and both feel a confirmation of their beliefs, while it is not possible for them both to be correct, then we must conclude faith is not a good measure of truth. Since faith is really the only way to justify belief in a religion, that means, believing in the church (or any church for this matter) is an act that can not be justified, thus since it can not ever be shown to be a justifiable action, it makes no sense to believe in one.
This is a hard pill to swallow but is ultimately the logical conclusion.
Ana, @Cultish will be at the general conference. Please find them and have a conversation. They are very kind and respectful.
That leaves me out at 55...and I would not submit to slavery by pregnancy . Also it's by faith we are saved not by works we are saved. However, faith without works is dead.
@Rhonda You are saved by Having Faith in Christ, You will receive Grace. It is a gift of God.once you have Grace. God will guide you to do his Works, not Man's works
James 2:26, it's in the context of James talking to the twelve Jewish tribes about their materialism in their ideas about works getting you into heaven. I love James, my favorite book that I've studied
Just check out Romans 3:20 and Ephesians 2:8-9
you guys are silly. no one makes you have any kids .....just like outside of the church. you and your spouse determine how many kids you have. No one else even has a say. Just more lies being spread about Christ's church. Its' OK it was happening 2000 yrs ago and still goes on today.....i guess we are used to it :)
Salvation only occurs after death, and only for those who lived righteously after accepting Christ - it is impossible to be “saved” while still in this life, which is a false doctrine
Christ directly states that you must endure to the end before salvation can be applied to your life - Matthew 24:13
We are saved by Christ's grace, but only after being judged by our works - Titus 3:5, Titus 1:16, Rev. 22:12-14
Perform the Lord’s statutes even until the end - Psalms 119:112
Worldly people despise Christ's true plan of salvation and dangerously invent their own - 1 Cor. 1:19-29
We save ourselves by pondering the doctrine and doing it - 1 Timothy 4:16
I was Mormon for 18 years, i’m now 23. I never knew about a lot of the creepy shit that went on in the temple, only that my bishop had to approve me to go and that it was “sacred.” I’m just now seeing all these videos about the temple ceremonies and it reminded me of the time that they had me baptize dead people inside a fountain with statues of cows around it…. very scary as a child. I also never got to see any of my siblings get married because it was “sacred”. Creepy af.
@Dustin Hirschi Rams??? Really? You look at bulls and see sheep? Yea... Baptizing the dead was a real hard thing to do. Too bad you don't have the gift to see the dead. If you did, you would see them standing in line to watch the two people who are involved in their baptism. And to feel the joy that come from them finally able to start progressing. Yea... but because you can't... you need faith. It is probably better for you who never had a testimony of the Gospel to be involved in any way. Yet here you are on a anti-LDS site criticizing your families faith. How proud your parents must be.
@Distin Hirschi Jesus said “Except a man is born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” Jesus himself got baptized and he received the Holy Ghost. His Apostles baptized believers and conferred the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands. How about those who died without the gospel. Jesus’ words are clear: They cannot enter into the kingdom of God. How can they receive the gospel if they’re dead? 1 Peter 4:6 says, “For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.” But how can they be baptized? Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15:29, “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?” Baptism for the dead in the Church is by revelation a vicarious ordinance of the gospel which is performed in the temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. There are now 168 such temples in operation, and more will continue to be constructed till the second coming of Jesus Christ.
@@MrNirom1 You're a wackjob. You're also spending your time on anti mormon videos and writing crazy comments. You're no better than I, though you and the weirdos in your religion think you are.
@@jimbomanzano5743 It's creepy as hell, and it's witchcraft. Plain and simple.
@@dustin7405 Oh I have been called worse than a wackjob by people like you.
My comments are not crazy. Perhaps you would like to share with me what YOU consider to be a "crazy comment"?
It is not that we are better than you... it is that we are better at understanding our faith than you are.
You were of my faith but never got it. I wasn't born into this faith... but I got it. And when I explain it... you don't want to believe it so you call us names and tell us we are crazy. It must make you feel better when you can do that. You kind then feel like you know more than I do about my faith and my understanding of it.
Of course I am on anti-mormon sites like this one defending my beliefs. I have been doing this since 2007 when I saw critics and ex members of the Church say "crazy" things about my faith that were NOT true. So instead of letting these people get away with it without someone bringing the lies to light... some people would believe what they have to say. As I have said many times and in different places. I have never spoken ill of my past faith and nor demeaned the people who still believe it. When I left that church... I also left it alone!
What's helped me honestly is accepting that the church's history is, in fact, not squeaky clean. The church has been working to be more transparent in recent years which is awesome, and I welcome it! But for so many years church leaders encouraged a perfectly tidy vision of church history, and it was simply not a complete picture. Prophets were never perfect people, many church leaders have said and done questionable things, members have wrongly acted in the name of the church, and so on. However, the church is in a constant process of receiving revelation to improve upon it's past and to advance forward. I've found comfort in the fact that Christ himself is perfect, and that he chooses to work through imperfect people to build his kingdom. This means that sometimes mistakes are made, people are hurt, and reputations are marred. But this doesn't mean that Christ's gospel is untrue, or that the church he's established on earth is unworthy of our membership. It just means that we still have work to do to learn from the mistakes of our past and the past of the church.
My Dad would take me and my brothers and sisters to Church history sites while we were growing up. Plural marriage... Always knew about that. Bank failure in Kirtland... Always knew about that. Problems Saints had with the pro-slavery Missouri militia... Always knew about that. Smith destroying the Expositor, then getting protected and exonerated by the Nauvoo courts, then killed for it... Always knew about that. Young was a controversial leader who harbored racist ideologies while also leading The Saints... Always knew about that.
History was part of my life. And I knew about those things when I had a miraculous experience as a teen, and felt the Spirit of God, and knew The Church was true.
I still had a hard time as a missionary when I encountered anti-Mormon materials. Some of it is asked in a way that makes the antagonism not necessarily a question that is easy to answer. And sometimes anti-Mormons did not allow an answer, or tried to frame what they expected the answer to be.
Sometimes the honest answer is, "I have faith." Sometimes that is the honest answer.
I think sometimes Saints think that there is an easy answer for everything, and there isn't and antagonists play that to their advantage.
I guess it was and is easier to me because I was exposed to antagonistic material and the more difficult aspects of Church history prior to my conversion. It would probably be harder for someone who was converted, then experienced anti-Mormon material.
The scriptures are clear that spiritual things can only truly be understood through a spiritual lens. Take the spiritual lens out of the equation (which is what antagonists do) and it is harder to explain or justify the controversial aspects of Church history.
Smiths plural marriages... Taken in the context against Biblical plural marriages is understandable (to me). It was practiced in the Bible. It was practiced by Smith and Young and the early Latter-Day Church.
Bank failure in Kirtland.... Smith was trying to help people, and there was a broad global recession at the same time. Lots of banks failed. Smith and many others lost everything with everyone else. Tragic. Sad. But The Church now has safeguards (lol) against recession and financial loss, and the current Church assets have to be understood against Church history of The Church being destitute in Kirtland, assets taken in Missouri, and assets left in Illinois.
Smith translating The Book of Mormon and Book of Abraham... Smith had power and spiritual insights and gifts you and I and Egyptologists or antagonists to The Church do not have access to-- or really an understanding of (without a spiritual lens). If you want to know The Book of Mormon is true then you have to pray to God. That is where the spiritual answer to the Book of Mormon is found. That is not an answer that satisfies many antagonists to The Church.
Despite my sincere efforts to understand Jesus Christ, I find myself facing questions from others who interpret the Bible differently. As for how it all ends, I believe it remains a mystery until God chooses to reveal it. Until then, the quest for understanding continues.
Imagine having a personal spiritual experience, feeling its goodness deeply within yourself, only to have someone else speak against it. In such moments, it may seem as though the very essence of what you felt or believed in-the spirit-has been called into question. This raises profound questions: Is God truly real? Could it be that the spirit is deceiving us? Do we genuinely experience the love of God?
If God will punish me of believing on something is not true or believe someone saying something that you belong in a wrong faith. So be it!
Jesus said in Luke The law and the prophets were until John now its the kingdom of God and everyone is pressing into it. There's no more prophets. The veil was torn in the temple and that signified open access to God because Jesus brought a better covenant.
My favorite scripture is Hebrews 10:14-19 and 1 John 5:10-13. It tells you everything you need to know.
A cross without Christ is too much to bear
Then you know nothing of the doctrine of the restored Gospel of Christ. The "cross" is everywhere in LDS theology, but Latter-day Saints understand it correctly whereas you do not.
We celebrate his resurrection, not his death. That’s why you won’t see a cross in an LDS Church.
@@rodinutah Then please explain to us how it is that a woman who does not have the opportunity to marry will not be able to enter the celestial kingdom. If the husband is an adulterer- what them becomes of the children that were sealed to their parents in the temple? Are they now no longer going to the celestial kingdom since their dad fell from grace and now they are no longer sealed to him? It seems like a family's salvation/making it to the celestial realm is dependent on a faulty man. If I am wrong here- please feel free to explain in a way we can all understand. Thanks in advance.
Well, my only answer to you is that Heavenly Father is a loving father. He will not deny any blessings to those who are worthy of them. A woman who has not had a chance to marry in this lifetime will be given that chance in the eternities. Children are innocent and will be also be blessed with those blessings they deserve. It will all be worked out in the end.
Anthony Behrends
Christ will not be known without His Cross.
It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else's life with perfection.
That is exactly what Satan wants you to believe. That there are many ways to Heaven. Jesus is the Way (only ONE way) the Truth (only ONE truth) and the Life (without Jesus your Spiritually Dead). Thru truth hurts 🤷🏻♀️
@@miamlatindiva You've spoken with Satan and he explained to you his agenda, I presume? Beware that you don't become a permanent resident of Naraka, it is a most unpleasant afterlife.
Satan is the Master of Deception he confuses everyone in the world to turn him away from following Jesus. Because everyone will reject Christ & the Anti-Christ will appear. There will be a 7 year Tribulation before God destroys the world. I am a Disciple of Jesus & my final destination is Heaven. I’m just trying my best under the power of Jesus who’s Spirit is inside me to spread the Gospel. Jesus died for you it’s a gift meaning you can’t earn the love of God.
@@miamlatindiva Which flavor of Christianity is this that you follow? Catholic? Baptist? Seventh Day Adventist? Latter Day Saint? The Church of Wells?
"Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ." Ephesians 5:1-2
Jesus often spoke in parables; so I shall tell a parable:
'There was once a man of Christ named Josef who made a middling wage in the world he lived. A religious man in a white robe, blue of eyes, speaks to him and says, "I am a shepherd of Jesus flock, give me your tithe and together we shall build the church of Christ." Another man in white, but brown of eyes, speaks to him and says, "I am a shepherd of Jesus flock, give me your tithe and together we shall build the church of Christ." Another man, disheveled and in rags speaks to him and says, "I am hungry. Can you help me?" Josef thinks to himself for a moment, and wonders to himself, of these three... who is beggar, who is shepherd, and who is charlatan, for I honestly cannot tell the difference. He gave his tithe to the disheveled man, for it seemed, to him, the most Christ-like thing to do.'
EVERYTHING this girl has said has been 100% true. I applaud all her research/hard work.
Mormons don’t tell you the ducks at the pond are free! I own 30 ducks now you can just take them!
...what?
Any who add works to grace have missed the mark. EPH 2:8-9, JESUS 100% not 99.99999.
Linda Dustin James 2:17 (I think) “Faith without works is dead.” Can it get any more simple than that?
I think you are both missing the point here. Grace and faith are two different things.
Grace is decided by Jesus and faith is decided by us and both are required to achieve the maximum outcome in an afterlife...
So we come across an argument that I see so many times, but actually both sides of the argument miss the context of the point...
Our faith cannot save us nor can our works if Jesus decides not to apply his grace... Grace is a decision based on how Jesus considers our situation..
Now to go with the Mormon point of view, Jesus grew in favour of God as he practiced doing his will, which means that as Jesus said as a warning "by there works you shall know them".
If you believe his words you will follow the two parables as Jesus taught.. 1. Not to hide your light
2. To be a good Samaritan.
Jesus also talks of what keeps you out of heaven, and it's not
Based on false beliefs, false prophets etc, which were rife during Christ time. Rather than do what this post tries to do,bwhich destroys good faith in what are called "true believer Mormons", but is more on the fact in how well you live your life....
Can a Hindu be saved? Or a Muslim be saved? Even if they have no passing mention of Jesus between their ears?
Grace applies here as Jesus will say, these lived their lives as good people etc, it won't matter of the false doctrine they were taught.
If a Mormon keeps their values as the ancient Essenes did and serve man and woman in their best capacity according to their beliefs, god's grace is more lightly apply to these than professors of faith who like the Pharisees taught good things but their hearts were far away...
I think both sides of the argument miss the point and neither understand grace or works...
Calibration Technique you have a very good point, which in retrospect is almost exactly what I believe but couldn’t articulate nearly as well as you, nor did I really try as I should have. Thank you for your perspective!
It's easy to see the indoctrination and ridiculousness in other churches and religions, but most people are blind to the indoctrination and ridiculousness in their own. Religion is the great divider of people.
Nationalism is yet another.
That is certainly accurate. It is difficult, but we need to turn our scrutiny upon ourselves, the beliefs we hold and behavior of groups we are part of and support. I think getting to know people and learning is one beneficial road. Any other ideas?
I’m a Christian and I agree. I try my best not to be ignorant of my own faith as well because of the fact that these different versions of Christianity exists. What makes what I believe any different?🤔
“The” CoJCoLDS is based on division, so is the Bible to be fair, but Mormons take it to the next level and then add another set of stairs to climb after you scale a rickety ladder to get there
But believing in Jesus is the unity of all people.
If you ever attend a Mormon meeting, it's quite striking how little Jesus is ever mentioned at all. Jesus is almost an afterthought as they spend most time discussing the importance of the organization's growth, money, recruitment efforts, the legacy of Joseph Smith, the leadership, and lessons on how to be more obedient.
Agreed.
Sounds like a cult 😳🙏🌏
Yes, I went to a Mormon funeral. Hardly ever talked about Jesus. It was SUPER uncomfortable..
I saw something on RUclips that I had never known before about Joseph Smith. I have not researched or verified this, but if it's true it very much impacts the credibility of Mormonism. The RUclips video made the claim that typhoid swept through the Smith family while Joseph was six years old. The disease initially settled in a gland in his armpit which a doctor then lanced and drained with no pain medication. The typhoid then was said to become systemic finally settling in the tibia of his leg. From the report, there were three separate occasions where they cut open his leg, with no pain medication or anesthesia, on three occasions and scraped the infection off the bone and out of the muscles. The psychologist stated that this sort of trauma in early childhood would cause dissociation from reality, and that this could be a lifelong issue. If this is true, it makes me see Joseph Smith in a different light - not as a liar and con man, but as a human being suffering PTSD, and deflecting difficulty or trauma by fantasizing. This, however, does not change the fact that Mormonism is a man made, false religion, and people caught up in Mormonism would be much better off finding the real Jesus of the Bible.
This is crazy seeing this comment because I was taught that Joseph Smith was sick and the infection went to his leg and the were going to amputate it but it miraculously healed through painful treatments of taking the infection out of his leg. I was taught he was even offered whisky and he turned it down because it wasn't good for him. It would make a lot of sense if the trauma made him have these fantasies. It is fascinating to learn stuff like this after being raised LDS.
T Thinker: Well your conclusion is fantasy with no evidence. How could some psychologist who never met Joseph Smith make such an outrageous diagnosis and conclusion? lol Here are some facts with corroborating evidence and witnesses that would stand up in court. Joseph and Oliver were visited by John the Baptist, Peter, James, John, Jesus Christ, Moses, Paul, and Elijah--"In the mouths of two or three witnesses shall every word be established" according to the bible. At least five people saw the angel Moroni and wrote a testimony of that fact. 13 people saw and handled the gold plates and wrote a testimony of that fact. Numerous people observed the translation process of the Book of Mormon wherein Joseph Smith gazed into the Urim and Thummim, saw the Egyptian figures in the upper portion of the device and the English translation below which he read aloud so that Oliver Cowdery could write it down. Oliver then read it back to make sure he had written it correctly. If he had, the images would disappear and new images appeared and so on. When they returned from a break, Joseph never asked where they left off because he had no idea. He just began reading what was in the Urim and Thummim again. Joseph did not know Egyptian and could not have possibly translated it in normal translation processes. The entire text of some 525 pages was translated in 60. Joseph said it was translated "by the gift and power of God." Try reading the book and ask yourself if such a book could have been written by anyone in 60 days without any revisions. Unlike the bible the Book of Mormon comes with a guarantee that "if you will read with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truthfulness of it unto you by the power of the Holy Ghost." Millions, including myself, testify that they have received that testimony.
There is and always has been only one Jesus Christ, the son of God. He is spoken of as the coming Messiah in the Old Testament and the Redeemer and Savior in the New Testament. It is he who revealed his word to the prophets of the tribe of Joseph which are found in the Book of Mormon. See Ezekiel 37 It is he who said in the New Testament that "other sheep I have which are not of this fold, them also I must bring." He visited the tribe of Joseph and declared himself to be the Christ, the risen Lord. You can read all about his visit and his teachings in the Book of Mormon. He also told them he still had other tribes to visit--the Lost 10 tribes described in the bible.
Jesus Christ began fulfilling the prophecy of Acts 3:19-21by calling a prophet (see Amos 3:7) restoring the fulness of his gospel a second time, restoring priesthood authority so the saving ordinances of baptism and giving the Gift of the Holy Ghost could be accomplished, restoring His church with the same organization and authority it had when he was on the earth, and naming his church. There is nothing man made about it. It's "built on a foundation of apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone" just as it was in the primitive church.
@@cornyplays8766 You got the first two sentences exactly right. The last two are nonsense. Just wild speculation and accusation without a particle of evidence. Sounds like you decided to leave the straight and narrow path and go and live in the great and spacious building. You are always welcome back. Hope to see you return.
It is a cult I think. I always feel badly for the fresh faced missionaries in the city I live in. They are so young and so sweet. So naive.
It's not a cult😑
@A A Why didn't the LDS church let me join when I told them I was a Christian?
@@troll-tx4mp The word cult refers to an unorthodox sect whose members distort the original doctrines of the religion. In a Christian context, the definition of a cult is, specifically, “a religious group that denies one or more of the fundamentals of biblical truth.” A cult is a group that teaches doctrines that, if believed, will cause a person to remain unsaved. A cult claims to be part of a religion, yet it denies essential truth(s) of that religion. Therefore, a Christian cult will deny one or more of the fundamental truths of Christianity while still claiming to be Christian.
The two most common teachings of Christian cults are that Jesus was not God and that salvation is not by faith alone. A denial of the deity of Christ results in the view that Jesus’ death was insufficient to pay for our sins. A denial of salvation by faith alone results in the teaching that salvation is achieved by our own works. The apostles dealt with cults in the early years of the church: for example, John addresses the teaching of Gnosticism in 1 John 4:1-3. John’s litmus test for godly doctrine was “Jesus Christ has come in the flesh” (verse 2)-a direct contradiction of the Gnostic heresy (cf. 2 John 1:7).
The two most well-known examples of cults today are the Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons. Both groups claim to be Christian, yet both deny the deity of Christ and salvation by faith alone. Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons believe many things that are in agreement with or similar to what the Bible teaches. However, the fact that they deny the deity of Christ and preach a salvation by works qualifies them as cults.
even though I don’t want to be a member of the church anymore, and I am finding my way, a lot of the things you claim in the video aren’t true/way over exaggerated and misunderstood. There are definitely things about the church that have caused me to leave, but some of this is just not true.
Claire Hansen Hi Claire,
What things do you feel she is saying here that are misrepresenting LDS doctrine/teachings?
idk abt claire but i have never heard or found anything about Heavenly Father having actual sex with Mary and abt Jesus being a polygamist
@@solangesmusic.1877 they aren't going to respond they are a plant
Someone who actually understands that Mormonism is not a Christian religion!
I will talk of my experience. I was going through a very difficult time. Really at rock bottom. I had to go to the church to get help. When more than anything I needed spiritual help. It ended up in years of spiritual torture. I never got a chance to get fully into the church because I had been struggling for so long. I’ve been using my bible app and have been praying and now I know that God was protecting me from going any further.
I grew up in a small southern Utah town, and was one of 9 non members in a class of 48 kids. I received “extra credit” in high school from a teacher by agreeing to meet with the missionaries at her home. I showed up with all sorts of questions about these things you’re mentioning, and the things I didn’t agree with about the religion. The missionaries had not only ZERO answers for the questions I had, but they, as missionaries, hadn’t heard of 90% of these principles their precious religion had been built on. I transferred out of this teachers class shortly after she chewed me out for how badly I “embarrassed” her in front of the missionaries.
I call BS
Shelly: I believe you.
Shelly I believe you
enlil7billion ok and you know everything about your religion? Please keep yourself humble. P.S. I don’t call BS, but since when has one person’s faults made an entire religion false? Even if you’re telling the truth, that’s hardly ammo against the Church. Maybe a nerf bullet.
enlil7billion maybe the questions you asked weren’t as basic as you thought. And again, since when has one person’s faults made an entire religion false? The missionaries not knowing how to answer your questions doesn’t make my church false. And who knows, maybe your question was confusing because we don’t believe there were two tribes that came to the new world. Maybe we do believe in the same event, but the way you phrased that I have no idea what event you’re talking about.
I love this video!! I was raised in the LDS “religion” and left just about four years ago. I wanted to leave my whole life but it was terrifying. It has been the biggest blessing to leave. Minus the hurt from family etc. Apparently I’m “humiliating”. Anyways... thank you for spreading truth. Most of these things I did not at all know which is so sick.
You didn't know them bc they aren't true
Lauren, I pray you come to know the truth of Jesus Christ and not what you have been taught. So happy you escaped!
None of these things are true though...
@@eyem4freedom escaped what exactly?
Kinda funny Lauren! Hardly anything she said was factual
There's a lot of unincluded context surrounding a lot of the scriptures mentioned. It's important to emphasize that no one is forced to do anything in the church. People are invited to pay tithing and go on missions to get closer to God and at their own pace. Just because no one told you about some controversies in Sunday school doesn't mean that it's "hush hush". There have long been resources and people that can answer tough questions.
It's a blessing to hear and watch you. As you are opening the eyes of people that don't really know what Mormons are. Thank you and God bless you...m
I know Mormonism, 53 years as a Mormon.
Mormons are Depp state gang stalkers like Islam
All run by Freemasons criminals
I’m a recovering Mormon, and while most of what Jessie says is accurate, there were a few things that aren’t. The LDS Church is not a good organization and anyone who’s investigating it should do serious research into the church’s history & less often discussed practices before committing themselves to its bizarre practices, emotional pressures & misleading leadership/teachings.
Ba-humbug. Look into past history? Yes, mankind has come from a bad history...so what are you complaining about NOW? Just because you are afraid to commit to a religion you can say all kinds of bad things about any of them... So what. You have it so great already in your life that you don't need religion? Well, most people have found peace and salvation in their religions and so much more, thus not afraid of their vulnerability and imperfections, yet go to church and welcome their Christian community and compassionate hearts. It makes a difference in their lives, because they WANT to.
birdlynn hubbard what are you talking about? For someone who doesn’t know me you have a lot to say about what religion I choose to follow (or not follow). Does it make you feel better to make assumptions about those who have been able to recognize the absurdity that is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints?
Mankind doesn’t come from “a bad history”, although there have been bad people & events. Joseph Smith was one of those bad people. As so many Mormons do you want to claim all of humanity descends from bad to lighten the glaring truth that Mormonism was born out of the mind of a narcissist with delusions of grandeur. I wish you luck with that.
birdlynn hubbard I should add that having grown up Catholic I have seen this story play out before. I believe that Christianity is an overall good for the world, churches and religious organizations that use their power & influence to undermine the constitution, hide their undesirable history & protect pedophiles should not be counted as truly Christian. Even though many of its members probably are Christian in their hearts & practices, being naive or turning a blind eye to corruption isn’t the Christian thing to do. When I learned about the church’s history it was only the icing on top of the cake. It’s what’s happening now that caused me to walk away from the LDS church, and I will fight against any organization that protects those who harm children.
@@damienjstepick It is in the world, Damien. Not just in the churches. (The Pediphiles) I too believe all religions have their place and do belong. But it is a very individual thing where one is called to or where one feels at home. Hopefully, the spirit will help them there because I do believe we are all called to gather together and to hear the word of God. As we are called, and that is what is free. It also can take away your loneliness wherefore people are reminded they are loved by God and community. That is a pretty important in my book. ;) It is so easy for people to criticize churches, or anything these days, but what do they NOT criticize anymore? I'd rather be in church or Mosque hearing the spirit of God and truth which enlightens me and heals me while walking through this world. If and whenever a church I hear criticize another, it is a turn off to me. Immediately. I find that offensive, therefore I go to where it is right for me. It can only be that way. Until people find that way for themselves too then they will feel something beautiful in church that resonates with their heart, mind, and spirit and it makes you want to return again and again and again. That is how church should be. Peace.
birdlynn hubbard I wasn’t the one who assumed to know someone I don’t. That was you. I am happy for anyone who finds peace and happiness, but any organization that claims to be the moral authority on earth while protecting pedophiles, undermining the constitution & harming its members through lies doesn’t deserve to be left alone because its active members enjoy it. Most Nazis enjoyed their way of life.
I feel for those who haven’t woken up to the deception of the Mormon church, and I hope one day they find peace as part of a church that doesn’t act in a vile & deceptive manner. Just as members of any mosque should alert authorities to members who may want to commit terrorism in the name of God, so should Mormons who know about corruption within the church.
I shared my feelings based on MY experiences. YOU threw stones. If you truly felt peaceful about being a member of the church I doubt you’d care what I think, I doubt you’d be watching this video and I doubt you’d have started by attacking & assuming if you did desire the chance to open up a dialogue.
As a new convert to the church, I would like to say that I was told many of the things that you identified in the first third of the video before my baptism by members of the church. Specifically having to do with the after life. These things are not a secret.
There are a few things that you claim are doctrines that actually are not considered doctrine.
The Bible, The Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and The Pearl of Great Price are the scriptural books of the church. Not Journal of Discourses. That means the Adam God theory and the theory that God the Father impregnated Mary through physical intercourse are false.
I can understand that you might have a personal distaste for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but please be sure to fact check before you upload.
Have a blessed day.
I fully sourced this video out with Latter Day Saint sources:

And you are mistaken in your claim that the virgin birth denial is not official accepted teachings. It's been taught in tons of official church curriculum, has been said in First Presidency Statements, official teachings. For example, Ezra Taft Benson taught it very clearly in Come Unto Christ, pg. 4, "Five Marks of the Divinity of Jesus Christ", Ensign, Dec. 2001, 8. and also The Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, pg. 7. Joseph Fielding Smith taught it in MANY official places including Doctrines of Salvation 1:18.
Oh man, I have literal pages upon pages of sources for every single point. You should definitely find all of this out for yourself before claiming you have all the answers. Mormonism is an endless maze of hidden teachings and "accepted doctrine." Hope you search for yourself!
The true God of the Bible loves you very much. I pray you seek and find Him!
I do not believe I ever once claimed to have all of the answers.
We are all living and learning, no one individual will ever know everything that there is to know on this mortal plane: it just is not possible. Please do not put words in my mouth.
I also do not appreciate your condescending tone. I between work and school, I dedicate all remaining time to the study of theology - of both church doctrine and of other faiths because I find theology as a field to be fascinating. I did not take lessons with the missionaries until I'd studied everything out and learned what was true and what wasn't for myself.
My beliefs and religious practices in no way restrict you and your personal freedoms, so I do not understand why you are so concerned with tearing down other people's faith to make yourself feel better.
No good comes from that. Faith is a personal choice and I support everyone's freedom to find out what they believe and to practice their faith however they see fit as long as their faith doesn't encroach upon the freedoms of anyone else.
@@rachelkennedy6097 I wasn't trying to put words in your mouth. Sorry if that was implied. I just meant that before stating that something isn't true, you should search it out, that's all. I'm not trying to be condescending at all. Sometimes with written text, we read things in a tone they're not written. I'm writing this calmly and kindly. I have no desire to be rude to you! The reason I have this channel and speak out against Mormonism is that my Bible teaches of a real and literal Hell and says that whoever is not saved, Biblically, by placing their faith and trust in the one and only true Jesus Christ for the Salvation of their souls, will be eternally tormented in the Lake of Fire where there will be weaping and gnashing of teeth. Mormonism contradicts the Bible completely and preaches a totally different gospel. Because I know this, I am concerned for the souls of the Latter Day Saint people. I have around 30 videos so far on my channel and they discuss the beliefs of the LDS and I give sources for every single point I make. I read from Mormon Scripture, direct quotes and teachings from prophets and apostles and lots from the official website, lds.org. As a Christian, all that matters is sharing the true Gospel and telling people how they can have a real relationship with God and have eternal security through Biblical Salvation. I refuse to "leave people alone" who I believe wholeheartedly are in a false belief system. I want Mormons to truly get saved and to know Christ. That's my mission. I want that for you too! I'm not being condescending. I'm being honest. I will be praying for you as you continue to study and seek truth. I mean that. And we are not enemies. I'd love to talk to you more if you ever feel inclined. I want you to be saved and hopeful and joy filled. 💕
@@itsmejessie Heavenly Father, as I personally know Him, is kind and loving.
He knows that not all will understand or be able come to the truth in a world full of confusion and deceit. As I see it, the most important part of any faith is a person's honest intention to follow truth, seeing as whenever they are actually confronted with it if they are set on following truth, they will recognize it and follow it.
Coming to know Christ is the best thing that ever happened to me. Through His grace, and Heavenly Father's plan, I am conquering things that have plagued me for a majority of my life and finding peace within myself for the first time.
I know this gospel to be true, and I understand that your belief system has you fearful for us.
That being said, I do appreciate both your apology and your concern. If it any point you'd ever like to talk more in-depth, you're more than welcome to reach out to me.
Rachel, listen to some of the testimonies on the ex mormon files .com..... Joseph Smith added and subjected from Gods Holy Bible. He was a false prophet who twisted the whole gospel. The Jesus of Mormonism is a false one. The angel who came to him in the cave was a demon disguised as an angel of light. GALATIONS 1:8. Pls leave this cult.
Good stuff. Let's pray that more and more LDS members will have their eyes opened to the reality of the true Gospel and true nature of God and Christ.
As a LDS for almost 40 years, and a previous convert from Methodist. All what she said are wrong. She tried to take things out of contents, twist things around so she can lead people to the false understanding.
People all learn things line upon line precepts upon precepts. It is the same like many other church they join church and then learn more and more.
As an educator, I have studied about teenager depression, that is the situation of the whole nation. She just said things without any research base. Not professional at all.
I wonder if she can feel peace by attacking God’s church.
I know evil can never bring happiness.
I'm a former Mormon and I really appreciate what you are doing here! Lots of these things not even lifelong Mormons really know. It's insane. The only correction I'd make is that Mormons aren't polytheist but henotheists. Polytheists worship multiple gods while henotheists worship one god but believe in multiple gods.
Thank you so much for your comment! I'm so happy you are no longer Mormon. Are you a Christian now or mind if I ask what you believe?
Regarding Polytheism: what about Heavenly Father, Jesus and the Holy Ghost being three separate gods? Would you say that Mormons don't worship them as separate gods? Did you only worship Heavenly Father as a LDS? What about Jesus?
It's Me Jessie I think this is where it gets tricky for actual Christians in understanding what Mormons believe around Christ. Because true Christians worship Christ but Mormons only really view him as their Messiah or Savior but not their God. The Heavenly Father of *this* Earth is their God and the only one they treat as such. Jesus and the Holy Ghost are instruments of God and aren't "deserving" of the same sort of treatment. Did I worship Jesus as a Mormon? Absolutely not. In fact, it was one of the big issues I started to have as I got older (I was raised Mormon). Mormons will point to "Jesus Christ" being in their name and they truly think that's sufficient. It's not. At all. They don't emphasis Jesus nearly as much as Christian churches do. They respect and revere their version of Christ but he is only a god to them no THE god. The funny thing is for them to push back on the idea that they are polytheist means they have to admit they don't worship Christ.
And I know this will be unpopular but I went Catholic after leaving Mormonism. However, I am always so happy to see any former Mormon turn to Jesus and the Trinity. Catholics acknowledge the baptism of Protestants because Protestants are correct in their belief in God. As a former Mormon I had to be baptised into Catholicism because, well, I was never a Christian. I was never baptised in the name of our true Lord.
I want to clarify- like with most thing Mormons use familiar terms that mean something different to them. Many will likely tell you they worship Christ. My argument is that they don't. They don't pray to Christ, for example, only to God in Christ's name. The "worship" of Mormonism looks very different from the worship of those who believe in the Trinity.
@@margaretphillips1137 Yes, I understand the concept of what you said and that was my understanding as well. I think you adding the point that Mormons saying that they're not Polytheistic means they have to deny worship of the Mormon Christ was a major point. My Mormon friends do not agree with what you told me (or should I say, don't *admit* what you told me) about Jesus. They all tell me that he is absolutely a God and equal with Heavenly Father and that they worship him. I never know when my Mormon friends are actually being completely honest with me. Sometimes I believe that they are being honest because maybe they just don't have all the answers and don't fully know how to answer. But then other times I feel like I'm being deceived. When talking about doctrine, I get the answers like, "Yes, we absolutely believe that. The same as you do!" But I know what they're saying is false and that they don't believe that at all. *sigh* It's exhausting. Anyways.. I appreciate your explanation and the time you took to write. And had I left Mormonism and converted to a Christian denomination, I absolutely believe in getting baptized again for real. 🙂 ..Baptized into a Bible-believing faith. And though I disagree with Roman Catholicism, I don't doubt that there are Catholics who are truly born again and who have fully accepted the true Gospel message of the Bible and Biblical Salvation. I do disagree with all works-based religions as well as the mediators placed between God and man, such as priests and the Pope and all. The Gospel message of the New Testament is so clear that Jesus is our mediator with the Father and that we can go directly to Him in prayer and in relationship. And Ephesians 2:8-9 tells us that it's not by our works that we're saved but through our faith in Jesus, by the grace of God and as a free gift from Him.. not of works lest any man should boast. But anyway.. just sharing my beliefs. Glad you commented! I'm always looking for exMormons to join me on my channel to discuss things like this so if you're ever willing, shoot me an email. 😊 God bless!

Spot on
This was disturbingly incorrect. Most points were flat out false and others were totally out of context. I would pray that everyone be truth seekers and not take these claims to be truth. Feel free to reach out to me for any fact checking or clarification. I will actually provide sources and context. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is true and offers so much light and truth.
Can you please point out specifically what parts were false and out of context? I'm curious to know which part was not true. I have a general understanding and this video filled in most of the blanks. Can you point out which part specifically was not true so I can learn about it correctly? Thanks!
@@georgebauerschmidt5289 I don't think my comment is working because of the length. I might have to connect with you via email.
Hi George, I don’t have much time to do a full rebuttal of all of the claims here, but I’m happy to try to shed some light. Do you mind if I connect with you via email?
The overarching claim of this video is that the missionaries of the church will lie or omit parts of the gospel, in essence tricking people into joining the church. Its just not true. I was a missionary for two years and serve now as a ward missionary in my community. I’m well versed in the doctrine of the church, as well as the church history. The church is very transparent about its doctrine and its history. See the Joseph Smith Papers project josephsmithpapers.org, Saints history.lds.org/saints?lang=eng&cid=rdb_v_saints_eng, church history topics history.lds.org/, gospel topic essays www.lds.org/topics/essays?lang=eng, and churchofjesuschrist.org which houses all teachings from the church. The church and its members are good, honest people and I would never omit or lie to prospective members. The way she paints the church and its members is totally out of character.
“Your church is wrong. Your beliefs are an abomination to God. Your pastor is a hireling of Satan. Salvation is found only in our church. There is no way to achieve any form of salvation outside of the church.” This is not true. Especially the part about the pastor. Just not true. The church believes in an apostasy and restoration. www.lds.org/topics/apostasy?lang=eng#_
www.mormon.org/site/jesus-christs-church/jesus-church-restored
“They will not tell you that they are wearing temple garments”.
Not true: www.lds.org/media-library/video/2014-01-1460-sacred-temple-clothing?lang=eng
ruclips.net/video/5vvN4qJRBM0/видео.html
Although this is a sacred and personal practice, so it usually isn’t spoken of lightly and frequently.
“Temple garments are meant to protect against evil…YOU”. Nope, not you. Nothing like that is remotely taught. As you will see in the videos above, garments are an outward reflection of an inward commitment to God.
“They will not tell you about their temple rites at all.” Not true. See videos for example: ruclips.net/video/Fd8tVXN9y6Q/видео.html

“Temple worship is taken from Freemasonry and Satanism cults.” Freemasonry was influential in the temple endowment. Satanism cults is completely false. Here is a great reference. www.lds.org/study/history/topics/masonry?lang=eng
“Familiar spirits are good and Book of Mormon has a familiar spirit.” I’m not even sure where this comes from. Members of the church believe in the Holy Ghost. www.lds.org/topics/holy-ghost?lang=eng
“Mormon women find salvation only through their husbands.” This is just not true. www.lds.org/topics/women-in-the-church?lang=eng
“Mormon women will be pregnant through all of eternity so they can populate planets.” Not true and not based in much of anything. This is designed by critics based on the idea that God intends for us to become like him. Creating and populating planets is as good as a description of heaven for members of the church as sitting on a cloud playing a harp is for other Christians. Its just not true.
“They intend to become Gods themselves one day.” “Heavenly Father over their own planet”. Heavenly Father over their own planet is not true. Intend to become Gods one day is spun in a half truth way. We believe that we are heirs to God, joint heirs with Christ as the Bible teaches. Here is a great article that would certainly help: www.lds.org/topics/becoming-like-god?lang=eng
“Exaltation is done through works and obeying the church.” Not true. We obey Christ’s commandments because of our love for him. By believing in Jesus and repenting of sins, we are saved by grace. All are saved by Christ in that every person will be resurrected and all are saved from Adam’s transgression. From the Book of Mormon: 2 Nephi 10:24 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, reconcile yourselves to the will of God, and not to the will of the devil and the flesh; and remember, after ye are reconciled unto God, that it is only in and through the grace of God that ye are saved.
“They intend to have many wives in heaven, not just one.” No, I intend to have one. This claim comes from the polygamy practiced in the early church. You can read about that here: www.lds.org/topics/plural-marriage-in-the-church-of-jesus-christ-of-latter-day-saints?lang=eng
“God is one of infinite Gods out there.” Paul said this in the New Testament, but also said “but for us there is one God.”
That is our belief on this. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the one true God.
“They are polytheists” Not the case. I highly recommend listening to this talk to get a better understanding. www.lds.org/general-conference/2007/10/the-only-true-god-and-jesus-christ-whom-he-hath-sent?lang=eng
“They believe that God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost are three completely different Gods” Half truth. The scriptures teach that they are one God, but separate beings. This should be logical to anyone who has read the Bible. See the talk above for this as well.
“They will not tell you that you were once a spirit child of the pre-existence.” Of course we will! There is even a cool scroll graphic here: www.mormon.org/resources/plan-of-salvation
“Heavenly Father and his multiple wives populated the spirit world.” This is again a half truth. We don’t believe God has multiple wives. We do believe that we are children of God as taught by Jesus and the prophets.
“Baptism for the dead.” “Three levels of heaven”. These are true. Here are some resources: Baptisms for the dead ruclips.net/video/RzCSrMJhWeQ/видео.html What happens after we die?
ruclips.net/video/5-futI4wQ_s/видео.html
“Virgin Mary was not a virgin at all. God came down and had sexual relations with her.” Not true. We believe as the scriptures say that she was a virgin.
“They have taught that Jesus had three wives and children of his own. Jesus was a polygomist according to Mormons.” Not true. All we know of Jesus’ life on earth is recorded in the New Testament.
“God is an exalted man and lives on a planet near the star Kolob”. Half truth. Joseph Smith believed God was an exalted man. Kolob is a metaphor in the scriptures for Christ. Kolob is described as the star being nearest to God and provides light to all of his creations. People spin it to sound weird and scare people away.
“Jesus was Lucifer’s brother.” True. All spirits were children of God.
“Heavenly council vote to determine Jesus or Lucifer as savior.” Not true. God presented his plan of salvation for his children. Lucifer and others rebelled against that plan and were cast out of heaven.
“There are over 100 divisions within mormonism.” I don’t know about this. There are different break off groups, but there is only one Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and those groups are not affiliated.
“They will not tell you that their scriptures contradict.” “Mormons will side with restoration scriptures over the Bible.” I don’t believe that the scriptures contradict, at least not in any significant way. The bible contradicts itself sometimes, but that is easily understood as it was written by different authors.
It might be fair to say members of the church will side with the Book of Mormon over the Bible, but I think more accurately is that they will side with their interpretation of the Bible over someone else’s interpretation of the Bible. All Christians do this.
“Not one scrap of archeological evidence for Book of Mormon.” Sort of. But what evidence would you expect? www.fairmormon.org/archive/publications/archaeological-evidence-and-the-book-of-mormon
“State of Utah has higher than national average abuse, suicide, etc.” This appeals to emotion. Many scientific studies have concluded that this has nothing to do with the church, and actually church attendance significantly decreases all of these categories.
“Joseph Smith was in the occult.” Just not true.
“Joseph Smith money digging” True, but out of context.
“Joseph Smith freemasonry” True, but out of context.
I really enjoyed this book as a biography of Joseph Smith: www.amazon.com/dp/B000XUBEZM/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1
“First vision accounts.” True. But these aren’t any more contradicting than the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are contradicting. Different emphasis and details in each telling. www.lds.org/topics/first-vision-accounts?lang=eng
As a former Mormon and now Christian I think you did an excellent job in this presentation. It was thorough and factual. It took me quite a while to discover piece by piece all that you brought out in this presentation. Excellent. Thanks.
@Leigh Yorgason Seriously? How longer were you LDS? 2 weeks? What piece did you find so convincing? LDS wear secret underwear? They state the truth that Bishops & Stake Presidents don't get paid for what they do? Please.. enlighten me what she told the truth about.
that's wonderful. I was born a mormon in 1975 but in 1978 at 3 years old. I became christian with the help of the sears catalog. the catalog had photos of adults wearing normal underwear and I knew my parents didn't wear normal underwear. I made a promise to never wear the underwear at that age. God put that in my path. Bless you
@@babsfocker7751 Yes...from the mind of a 3 year old. They should be making all of the decisions of the world. NOT
Hurray babfocker, for the Sears catalogue!
what difference Heavensgate and Lds?
They've been following my family for months. I asked the missionaries not to loose time with me from the beginning. They didn't care. The neighbors who are Mormons were so kind invited us to their home to the temple and their outdoor activities. I did it because I just moved to Utah and wanted to meet people. Knowing that the temple's designed and rituals are scary. My husband talked to their leader and asked them not to come to my home. They sent other missionaries and pretended they didn't know this. I stopped opening my door until one day after receiving many phone text I said ok I will tell them what I truly think so they will stop coming, so I said I have many questions lets talk about it on an online meeting. On the online meeting I explained many things that you mentioned on the video that trying to become and be worshipped as God was Lucifer's sin and said this doctrine is a complete Blasphemy. They said ohh I wish you mentioned this before and keep insisting in coming back to keep talking about the book of Mormon. OMG! I cannot believe it, they just don't care about my opinion. They're brainwashed puppets. I feel sorry for those young man spending two years away from their families. At the end they will be accountable for this teaching. This Sunday they came again and were knowing the door. They have an aggressive recruitment strategy a cult clearly designed by the devil himself.
Missionaries are transferred around every couple of months or so. They don't keep records of homes that reject them because after six months or so, might be new people, or the ones there might have changed their minds.
@@lindalds I've been here less than 6 months.
Anyway, first, unless it was an openhouse, there is no way you would be allowed into the temple. You would, however, be more than welcome into a chapel, where we hod our Sunday worship meetings. Nothing scary or ritualistic about those.
Second, we do not aspire to become a god to be worshipped. WE are not to worship any god but our Heavenly Father.
Third, they talk about the Book of Mormon because that is what the whole thing is based on. If you have a tetimony of the Book of Mormon, everything else will fall into place.
Furth, they are not to knowingly kep coming to you, if you say to stay away. But then, I don't know the whole story, so I can only speculate.
So, IF what you say is true, then don't answer the door, or the phone or the texts, put a sign on your door thats says "no solicitations" or something like that.
@@lindalds My husband asked them not to come anymore and they didn’t care. I asked them not to loose their time with me since the beginning and they didn’t care. I tried to be nice until I had to say ok I know enough about Joseph Smith and his lies I won’t change my mind about him. They said ok. And today they came and knocked my door. I ordered many things online by Amazon and I cannot open the door to pick them up and I have to go to the post office to pick them up personally because I don’t want to open the door anymore I turn off my lights. Yes you don’t know the whole story.
@anavictoriapb
It is sad that you believe what some people tell you.
This statement you made and what's her name made is inaccurate. You said:
"I explained many things that you mentioned on the video that trying to become and be worshipped as God was Lucifer's sin."
That was NOT Lucifer's sin!!! Lucifer's sin was that he did not like the Plan that the Father made. He wanted to send mankind to the earth and NOT give him free agency. He wanted to limit the agency that was given to him... therefore he promised NOT ONE SOUL WOULD BE LOST. And he would be the Savior.
And whereas Jesus said he would do the will of the Father... AND he would give the Glory that he would receive back to the Father.
Lucifer however, wanted to keep the Glory that would be given him for being the Savior.
When the Father chose Jesus to be the Savior... Lucifer rebelled and the war in Heaven began. There was 1/3 of all Father's children who had agreed with Lucifer's plan. And they wanted that plan. The other 2/3 wanted nothing to do with Lucifer's plan. And the battle began.
And of course we know what the results are.
So... you didn't have the story right. And you are perpetuating a lie and continue pass that lie around.
Lucifer was not interested in being worshiped like Father was worshiped. He was the one that wanted to be worshiped like Jesus would be worshiped. So you really got it all wrong!!!
Also highest rate of anti-depressants prescribed to women. Trying to be “perfect “ takes a toll.
Monique Jefferies , when I asked someone about that, he was so excited to say that research has shown that it’s the altitude. I don’t think we are the only higher altitude communities. I wonder what depression rates are for other high altitude-communities.
That’s anecdotal
Denver has a similar altitude and not the same problem.
@@pattyb8736 lol it's not the altitude, it's the attitude.

Maybe it's possible that the rates are so high, if they are, because they are more proactive a people when it comes to health and addressing any health issues.
Hey Jessie I am glad Jesus saved you, I just left their church, was only there for 6 months and I was baptised under their church when I was 14 years old. I didn't step foot back in their, or any church over the course of the next 30 years. Jesus has been speaking to me through scripture since I met these two sisters here in June this year. I attended their church for 6 months and barley read the BoM they gave me, it just didn't feel right. Why didn't they hand me the Bible to read first, or with the BoM? I am 45 years old now and for the first time in my life I have never been as close to God as I am today, he saved me from going deeper in their religion, totally unexpected. Read the Bible folks, it is the WORD. You don't need any other book.
Amen! We are the same age & finding our way back to God at the same time. It's ironic how when you get older you see things so clear. I hope we are both Blessed with Salvation!
@@kelliintexas3575 Hey, hi there, you know what is even more ironic? You commenting on this post of mines from two years back when I got saved and got born again. because this Saturday for the first time in my life I am being baptized according to the scriptures!! I will be getting baptized in the sea here by the beach :) I would have gotten it done sooner but as I said in that original post I got baptized ( or only wet as one pastor said to me ) in the mormon church when I was 14 years old, so I didn't have much confidence on who to baptize me this time, at my age I want it done properly. But I have found two brothers who are going to do it. So, your reply is very timely. be blessed and encouraged in our Lord!! :) He has done good things for me these past 2 years. Very good things indeed!!
I came across a couple elders and in an effort to get to know them and love on them I’m reading the BOM. It’s painful. Especially knowing that it’s not true. I want to see where they’re coming from. Will you all pray for me? I am committed to these two young men. 🙏
The reason it's painful is because you claim it's not true, but Someone is trying to tell you it is true.
They also have the star of David inside of at least the Salt Lake and Dan Diego temples. Star of David ends up being satanic too. Two triangles crossing each other. Just learned about that the other day.
Lying for the lord... I was very disappointed in my Mormon friend, when we were discussing the Bible versus Book of Mormon. I told her Mormons think they become gods when they die which is extremely blasphemous according to the Bible. She proceeded to tell me that she read that we call become gods from the Bible itself, and she said it in such a firm way that we both knew she was lying through her teeth but she didn’t respect me enough to admit the truth. I’m not particularly religious but it disgusted me
The Mormon Bible is not the same as a Christian Bible, Joseph Smith wrote it to suit his needs.
Just to help you understand. They are groomed to be missionaries to their friends and neighbors..generally speaking, you get so wrapped up in the grooming, you overlook things..not good, but the mind f@ck is deep! And you dont know what you're doing.

You're kidding, right?
Martha Beck confirmed true that many women back in Brigham Young's day would be so despondent over being kidnapped and forced to be a plural wife that they would climb to the top of the Salt Lake Temple and throw themselves into the Great Salt Lake.
Anyone who's even seen pictures knows that the Salt Lake temple isn't anywhere NEAR the great Salt Lake, and besides, it wasn't even finished yet when Brigham Young died.

@@lindalds why are you here, you are a happy Mormon, stick with your own.
@@savannahsmiles1797 are you telling me to go away in a conversation about my own religion? Really?
Thank you for making this video. I grew up Mormon, and it's interesting to me how much I didn't even know about the Mormon church when I was there (which I think is because they were giving me the 'Christian' version of the Mormon church) and I think anyone saying you're lying or sound angry in this video (which you don't sound angry at all in my opinion) were probably fed the same watered down Mormonism I was also taught. A couple things to add that you didn't mention in this video are as follows:
The Book of Mormon also says that Jesus would be born in Jerusalem in Alma 7:10 if I remember right. (Though the Book of Mormon is the most famous and plagiarized fanfiction on earth so that is part of why there are parts that sound very similar to the Bible)
In Joseph Smith's translation of Exodus 33: 20, he disproves his entire religion by saying that no man has ever or will ever see the face of God and live. And this was the bible verse that made my dad leave the only religion he'd ever had in his life at that point. The verse is God talking to Moses in the burning bush and telling Moses that no man has ever seen the face of God and lived.
I had never seen a crucifix (or cross that someone was wearing) until I was in middle school when one of my older friends in the Mormon church told me that we don't focus on the sad and horrible injustice that happened to Jesus, we only focus on the happiness after.
I had actually watched The Passion of the Christ when it came out on DVD and it meant nothing to me, I didn't know who Jesus was, or what the movie meant at all, which looking back on all of it now just breaks my heart, especially now that I'm Catholic (which by the way, for anyone who wants to talk badly about the Catholic church, that's fine they have done horrible things no one's denying that (I actually found myself loving the Catholic Church even more because the second the Diocese I'm with received any reports of a Priest I know molesting young boys, they immediately took action, excommunicated him, and have asked if anyone has any more evidence to come forward - the Mormon Church, on the other hand, is still trying to say they've never done anything wrong) but remember the history while you cry about the books in the bible - you wouldn't have your bible at all without the Catholic Church who put it together first and then it was translated into other languages by Martin Luther (but he couldn't have translated it if there wasn't already an existing bible). The word Catholic, derived from the Greek, means "universal." meaning no matter where you are in the world, if you have a Roman Catholic Missile and are attending mass, you will know what the readings are no matter where you are in the world and can read the readings in your own language (sounds a lot like that verse talking about every nation, race, people, and tongue in Revelations).
Godan B. Hinkley said in General Conference that the Jesus Christ of the Mormon church is not the same as the Jesus Christ who saves from every sin that the Christians believe in.
When you said there are about a hundred different sects of Mormonism, my very first thought was "That seems like a low estimate."
Again, I wanted to say thank you for this video and for spreading the truth of what the Mormon church believes, not the lies they want the world to believe about themselves. I hope you never let the haters stop you from spreading the truth, because at the end of the day, it is the truth, and the truth can't be changed no matter how much they want it to.
@janessaburlingham2489 The Book of Mormon does NOT say that Jesus would be born in Jerusalem. Did you actually go and read Alma 7:10? Here, let me share it with you:
10 And behold, he shall be born of Mary, at Jerusalem which is the land of our forefathers, she being a virgin, a precious and chosen vessel, who shall be overshadowed and conceive by the power of the Holy Ghost, and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God.
So... tell me... when you look at a map of Jerusalem... where is Bethlehem? From the center of Jerusalem to the center of Bethlehem it is 5.5 miles
If you were to look at the time period in the Book of Mormon that was being written about in Alma... you will see that it has been about 530 years earlier that Lehi had arrived in this new land. These people 530 years later never saw Jerusalem or Bethlehem. When they say AT Jerusalem... they were quite accurate never having seen a map of the Holy Land. But they were told where they came from.
The Jesus of the Christian world is a triune God. That means that they say the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are ONE God made of the same substance. That is NOT true. They are three distinct and individual beings. So Gordon B. Hinkley was right. Their understanding of Jesus is behind the times. They are trying to rectify the God of the Old Testament with the God of the New Testament. Before Jesus came to earth... the ONLY God they knew was called Jehovah. Then Jesus is born, grows up and he is telling people he is Jehovah. So if he is the God of the Old Testament... who is this God that is his Father? This was a problem for the Christians. They did not have any explanation but they now had more than ONE God. So 325 years after the death of Jesus... 326 of the Bishops got together and voted on the creation of who Jesus was in relationship to the Father. 2 of the Bishops did not agree and they were excommunicated from the Church. And what did they agree on??
That there is only ONE God... and they are all made of the same substance. The Christian world states: There is but one only living and true God, who is infinite in being and perfection, a most pure spirit, invisible, without body, parts, or passions.
We do NOT believe the same way the Christian world does. We know more than they do. We have been given more light and knowledge. And yet... like in the time of Christ... people rejected the further light and knowledge that Jesus gave to the Jews.
I don't care What mormonism teaches.. I am a hindu and so is my friend, one day two young men came to my friend's house and somehow influenced him to go to the mormon church and after that for solid 5 years my friend was badly brainwashed, he had weird beliefs, he always talked about zion and zionists, he said he'll have 5 children , he became EGOISTIC AND GREEDY, it was difficult to be around that man he'd refute everything I say, The church managed to brainwash him so badly that He became a Nasty man for 5 years straight.. THANK GOD he left the church and reverted to Hinduism...
I HAVE SEEN HELL in those five years being with him..
Whatever mormonism is, NEVER BELIEVE THAT.
So your friend left one system of lies, gave himself to another system of lies, and then reverted back to a system of lies? That's neither a downgrade or promotion. The polytheistic, henotheistic teachings of Hinduism, like Mormonism, are built on the doctrines of demons. And the whole idea of reincarnation is false and absurd. The true way of salvation, God's way, is based on His saving grace. Every human/demonic system is based on works, including Hinduism.
@@peterpulpitpounder ok.. Please name some scriptures related to hinduism.
@@sargonofakkad860 Kaney, let's keep this very simple... The soul is not reborn into another body (human or animal). Reincarnation is a foolish, ludicrous and absurd concept, yet another teaching int his fallen world that belongs on the dung heap of religious falsity. I speak graciously, but Hinduism is a false religion, plain and simple. Do you eat or worship a hamburger? Think about it.
@@peterpulpitpounder just tell me the name of the hindu scriptures.... Tell me the source of ur information..
@@peterpulpitpounder just name any One hindu scripture.. Any 1.
Why do the LDS Church teach that the garden of eden is in Jackson Missouri when the bible says the garden of eden was in the middle east ?
I'm not aware of the Bible giving any location
@@jphish8724 In Genesis 2:8-14 tells us that there were 4 rivers ,Pishon,Gihon,Hiddek and the Euphrates river.So it gives us the general area of the garden of eden.Which would be somewhere in morden day Iraq.
@@bus2town I've heard that too, it's a theory by British archaeologist David Rohl, but is not considered academic, nor reliable, and is not widely accepted by serious Bible scholars. FYI, personally I believe the Garden of Eden to be somewhat more metaphorical; I do not ascribe to the LDS, or other traditional interpretations of this and many Bible stories.
The elders have told me a few of these and started to get mad when I kept questioning them.
That is normal watch ex-mormon files on you-tube many of them asked questions about mormonism and some have been ex-comminicatesd. Or never answered.
I wasn’t there, but I’ve known probably thirty five missionaries and I cannot stress to you enough that they are just 19 year old boys. They are not religious experts or scholars, they do not have a direct line to God 24/7, and they are not perfect. Please don’t assume that their refusal to answer (or maybe just confusion) is proof against their beliefs.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You have to realize that these young 18/19/20 yr olds are not perfect. They do their best to get a message along but they don’t have all the perfect answers
@@mysterymatrix8527 Jesus requires perfection to get into heaven.
Matthew 5:48 Be ye perfect.
More than 25 years ago the president of the church went on 60 Minutes and in front of millions of people discussed the garments, but yeah we keep that secret
Is that the only thing you’ll dispute? It seems to be one of the least consequential issues raised
Thanks for making these videos. I always welcome the Mormon missionaries when they come and visit our small town. My wife and I always treat them politely. I have finally come around to listening to the audio version of the book of Mormon so that I can better discuss theology with these missionaries. It is an absolute work of fiction, and probably blasphemy. Hopefully I watching your videos, and others like them, I will be better prepared for those who are trying so hard to convert my wife and I. Instead, I hope to be able to at least plant the seeds of Christianity in their minds so that they will come to faith in Christ. God bless your work.
Where are you getting this info from your reading everything your being a bit extreme and some of your information is very off
Very.

Depends on your sect of Mormonism.
She'd be shocked silly if she knew what I could tell her.
It's in your own books. Journal of discourses
I joined the lds church in 2005, since I've suffered some of the worst events of my life, I know the truth now, I won't be able to withdraw from them officially because they did enough damage but Jesus is with me, thx for sharing ❤️
They will never remove me from the books or excommunicate me. I have asked and tried... I just am nice to them when they come around... that way they don't want a blood atonement anymore.
@Phoebe Grace Curiosity:
Question: why is so important to have the name removed?
Can you simply stop going. Sorry, I just want to know.
@@office801 Yes, you can just stop going, but as long you are on their rolls you will not be free, spiritually or physically. When you join the LDS church you have OBEY what ever the Bishop says and God help you if you don’t. It started out wonderfully warm and fuzzy and turned into my worst nightmare on many levels. Spiritual, physical, financial, health and put me in a situation of nearly being murdered by a psychotic serial killer. I am not exaggerating. The last straw was when I was told that I still owned and was emotionally attached to too many nice things from my past and I must sell them and now live a sparse life including getting rid of my pets and I could not put in a vegetable garden and small chicken coop on my property that I own free and clear. If I didn’t obey the bishop who was a lawyer by day, with regards to this demand, he would have me committed to an institution for elderly destitute people. I am a well educated widow of 62 who has all my mental faculties about me. That was when I demanded to be removed from the church roles. If I actually accomplish getting my name off the rolls then when I die, my spirit will be sent to “Outer Darkness “(Mormon version of hell) where I will never see my husband or family again. And in this life time I will be considered an apostate and must be shunned by other Mormons. So basically a clerk in Salt Lake City can, with a few key strokes undo what Jesus Christ did for me on the cross. I don’t think so!
Same here, but be very careful. I have been where you are and I am telling you that it can and will get worse if you accept their help, the strings attached to that help will tie you up and bind you in every way. There’s other places to get help that don’t come with strings. The food pantries at real churches may not compare to the storehouse, but you will find that freedom is a very good taste. I promise you.
And what about those who don’t suffer? Do you think if you hadn’t suffered you’d still be a mormon?
My parents just kept telling me that I should go further into the church if I want to know. Then they say that they wouldn’t keep anything important from me. These secrets must not be very important anyways.
What I got from this is that the Mormons will fuck you up worse than heroin.
I am non LDS person but married to an LDS person for over 25 years. None of this is a secret. They are actually quite open folks about their history. Dig deep enough into any religions history you are going to find a lot of weird ugly stuff. Overall I have found them to be quite nice folks and they rarely push their doctrine on me.
Satan can masquerade as angel of light..
@@daughterofthemosthigh303 although satan is a fairytale facade, just like mormonism & all middle men, $$ stealing, organized religion's! Christianity is no different.
@@daughterofthemosthigh303 look into my other posts towards the top of the threads page for more truth awareness info.
@@daughterofthemosthigh303 If Jesus Christ appears to you... how do know it is Jesus and not Satan??
@@MrNirom1 He is my Messiah my King no fallen angel could ever have His glory . That's why I have a close relationship so I will never be decieved like so many...besides He lives inside me and would never allow Satan to decieve me.
I know being raised "Mormon" I was told "you hold out your hand and if you cant touch the angel it's good angel but if you can't they are bad" something like that...
I hear "loved ones apear all the time in temples "
That's just not Biblical...we are told when someone dies they sleep till judgment day..not rome around town.
This is why we are also told in scripture "beware of doctorines of demons" these are "demons" "fallen Angel's" pretending to be someone else...
everything you say probably is true but you forgot to tell that the missionaries do not tell this true because they don't know. Today LDS church don't teaches, probably 90%, that what you said. They are gradually changing to become more Christian churchs look like. They really tried to hide the truth church history. I'm a member and I started to study by my own and it is unbelievable the things I discovered. Things that in 25 years going to church every single Sunday I never heard about it. Really, the members of the church doesn't know about what you disclosed. Mormon people aren't a satanic or bad, they just don't know what happened in the past. In another hand the headquarter of the church probably knows at all of this and try to hide or make up the story. What a shame.
Oh yes, I agree with you!
The point about the missionaries not discussing every detail of our church history but you have to agree that these are young people in their late teens or early twenties trying to teach the gospel do you truly expect them to be Church historians? They usually are in a 6-week cycle in the area where they are preaching the gospel they like yourself go to church Sunday school priesthood Relief Society Etc and are taught the fundamentals of the Gospel. and sadly to say most people do the minimum of what they should do Would you not agree? a lot of these subjects truly do not pertain to our Salvation would you not agree? Like many people even numbers of the church where where we are encouraged to seek out all things that are good and true we still become intellectually lazy to some extent and really do not seek out the things that may help us understand all things thankfully the church in recent years have tried to have one place for members to seek out this information in one place Yes I may be that exception and doing my research but let me tell you a little bit about my conversion experience at a very young age I've always wanted learn about God and his plan for me an my parents were not really that religious but they believed that Jesus Christ was their Redeemer and encouraged my sister and myself to go to different denominations When We Were Young with our friends I would ask questions of the the ministers such as why did I read one thing in the Bible and they ie when I asked about the relationship between Jesus Christ and his father and the Holy Ghost when I read the Bible it was clearly known to me that they were three different individuals with one purpose in mind they would tell me that it was decided a long time ago by a group of men that basically Define their beliefs even then I thought it was very confusing it just did not seem correct to me. in my teens I came across the pamphlet The Plan of Salvation I read it and was very interested I actually sought out missionaries so I could talk to them when they explain there belief in the godhead and the belief of pre-existence which I believed in this concept even though I did not know what it meant or what it was called I believe since my early age did I was somehow separated from God and why I would I feel that way if I was never in his presence before I would wonder. Before I was going to be baptized people found out about this and started to give me all this negative material about the church even after reading these things all I can do I was prey to my heavenly father and ask him to let me know what I should do here I am over 40 years since I joined the church and my testimony of the restored gospel is stronger than ever . and I find it very odd that Jess agrees with your statement after you saying that the information I provided was true this absolutely confirms that she has an agenda for whatever reason to put out misleading videos
@@itsmejessie oh Jess the work of the restored gospel Will Roll forward despite your attempts truth will prevail
Oi Sandra,
I am Brazilian also. I was a devout LDS for about 20 years, from childhood to my late 20's when I left.
The Lord used the ministry of Sandra and Jerald Tanner, for me to discover the early history of the church. I, like you, had never heard any of it during my many years as a member, attending Seminary, Institute, Sunday School, you name it.
I have been a biblical Christian for another 20 years now and I am so overjoyed for having found eternal life in the Jesus of the Bible!
Sandra, l agree that the mormon people are good and well intended. The satanic conection comes through free masonry which goes much deeper and darker than l first realised. They have no idea what's going on, what they are realky doing in Temple.
I grew up in the church and it blew my mind when I found out they basically believe God lives on a planet called Kolob or Kolab or some shit. Also I do believe most Mormons are just trying to better themselves. Mormons aren't supposed to be judgmental towards anybody but most are. In all honesty, they lost me at 10%. And dont forget to tell the people about Porter Rockwell lol
Kolob is a STAR.
Most churches want you to pay some kind of tithing, that’s actually a biblical based belief, that dosent have anything to do with Mormon doctrine. Yeah I guess a couple bucks a month is tough for lazy ass people who don’t like helping the impoverished
