To Mormons: Some of you are the nicest people I’ve ever met. You probably didn’t know this about the LDS doctrine. It’s ok to be wrong. Just get things right, and simply look to Christ alone for the redemption of your soul. The Mormon Apostle Bruce R. McConkie said this: “there are some serious sins for which the cleansing of Christ does not operate, and the law of God is that men must then have their own blood shed to atone for their sins” But the Bible tells us that Christ died “not for our sins only, but also for the sins of the whole world”
I recently found out a older friend at Church was strongly involved with the LDS and had a position like an elder with them. He started having midlife memories out of nowhere of reading the ol' KJV on his front porch as a child with his old school Baptist grandmother. These memories and Bible knowledge became so vivid out of nowhere that he walked away from LDS even while still holding his leader position. They started calling him and members of his family (even extended members) and he finally had to go meet with several LDS leaders to stop the harassment. Him and I have been in Bible studies for a few years and I'm just know learning his amazing story.
Thank you. I'm leaving the church (I decided before leaving this video) and I'm sending this to anyone who asks my why I "don't want the blessings of the temple".
Matt disregard this if you have your ideas/work scoped out ahead and backlogged :) i love all the topics and variety you choose _but_ if you ever find yourself looking for an idea id love to see you do a breakdown/explanation of your feelings and opinions on Bethel Church, their theology and leader bill johnson.
Hey Matt , God bless you brother. My wife and I have a friend who’s Mormon. We’ve tried to share the real gospel with him, but no way will he listen. Any advice?
@@kevinunger433 sure thing Kevin. The best way to help a Mormon is by getting them to doubt their clergy. Share the quotes from Brigham Young with them. It’s important to incriminate the founders of Mormonism. This is an excellent strategy to help free those who are trapped in a false belief system.
I have my own gospel tracts. One of which is called, " Jesus is Jehovah." I'd be happy to email you the tract. It has a short gospel presentation at the end too.
@@zoliking for one ,he does try to convert us , two,I’d rather see him saved than be his friend. What kind of friend let’s his friend go to hell without trying.
I found an interesting verse that I think would be helpful: Jesus discusses two types of shame. And he leaves it to us to figure out. The reason for high rates of suicide is likely due to the bad type of shame. When you shame someone with fear (which fear is given by Satan,) you plant a seed of self doubt that slowly kills the person. Then there is the shame that is natural; when you do something like steal, or lie, you feel a sense of shame for not being honest. These are different types of shame. Edit: Joseph Smith claiming he saw God is also a false. For nobody can see God and live. god himself says that in the Bible. You are going to be told you are wrong, that Mormons don’t believe this anymore, you’re going to be mocked by MANY Mormons for this video because it defines the truth of their history which is what they want to bury. They can’t face reality or truth. Thank you for caring enough to stand up and say something about this. As an exmormon I treasure truth, and seek after the Kingdom of God that is written in the Bible. Keep doing these videos. They need to know.
The exact phrase "repent of your sins" may not be in the bible but Jesus certainly preached that. " From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17. Jews knew exactly what repentance is and that's who Christ Jesus said that to. I'm no Mormon but that wasn't the whole truth.
@swordtraining So do you believe that repent means to turn from your sins? God repents about 35 times in the KJV Bible. Repent can’t mean turn from sin if God repented. Repentance has context to determine what needed to be repented of. The problem Is telling people they have to Repent of their Sins in the context of Salvation. Jesus was definitely not teaching to Repent of your Sins to be saved. Anyone who believes that you have to repent/turn from your sins to be saved is teaching a false Gospel.
FACT: *God repented more than man in the Bible.* Defining repentance is simple, it's a change of mind. When repenting, we are supposed to have a change of belief. Before salvation, we were trusting ourselves... We repented, and trusted in Jesus alone for redemption. That's it. That's repentance. It is NOT reforming your life. God repented more than man. God never had to "turn from sin" Turning from sin is something everyone should do. But it's not going to redeem you. Every false religion misdefines repentance as turning from sin... But the Bible defines it clearly. The Bible is it's own dictionary.
@@duhonkjvbaptist2022 sin is doing things your way, which is sinful, and not doing it God's way, which is holy. So yeah, it does mean turn from your sinful ways. Or, turn from your sins.
@@MattPowellOFFICIAL until a man has been born again, all of his ways are sinful(dead in sins) because they are grounded in his righteousness, even if they can be seen as good. The way we become righteous is by choosing to believe in Jesus's death, burial, and resurrection. AKA believing the gospel. If we are turning from our sinful ways and putting our faith in Jesus, we are repenting from our sins. Or, repenting from our sinful ways.
The whole narrative is suspicious: they said Joseph Smith was a polygamist too and his wife denied it on her death bed. What’s strange is how a bunch of Christians would fall for such doctrines that today Mormons preach. There is reason that Christians may have believed the real land of Zion or the real biblical land was in Utah. That the true and only word of God was the King James Bible. There is very strong reason that God’s Kingdom another civilization was here on the earth and temples and cathedrals were everywhere, buildings that are impossible to even build today. You would have to wonder if murder was planned and a take over?
im sorry, but you really dont seem to understand lds theology. feel free to ask for clarification. the only point in which it seems to may have some correct understanding, is that we believe we can become one with God. that we can share in him and his glory and his work. theosis, or deificaiton. that at some point, its possible for us to even get the title "god" (lowercase g). if you need any clarification about our beleifs, or actually want to really know, its no secret. happy to share. otherwise, feel free to keep misrepresenting and bastardizing us. its been happening from the foundation of christs church.
repent of your sins YES, repent of sins for salvation NO, trust ALONE in Jesus Christ for salvation, He did it all, you cannot add to the completed works on the Cross.
There is a difference between becoming a God and becoming like God. The church no longer actively teaches this. Like you said, it’s ok to be wrong. We recognize that this is not the case. Also what you said about people committing suicide as a “blood atonement” is just flat out wrong. How dare you pin that on people who might be struggling mentally.
The point is, *the LDS is causing people to struggle mentally.* Of course those who commit suicide are struggling mentally. No one is denying that. The fact is, over 50% of Utah is part of the LDS. Utah leads the USA in suicide. That means there is a strong correlation between Mormonism and suicide. There's many written letters from young Mormons who felt like they couldn't measure up to the standard of achieving godhood, and so they decided to take their own lives. This is a very real thing. What makes this epidemic worse is when people deny these statistics, and then try to paint those of us who are pointing out the elephant in the room as if we are the problem.
Exmo here, it was only 10 years ago that we had lessons on becoming like God. And if the doctrine of the church never changes as the prophets have said, why change now? Becoming a god/goddess was from the very beginning of Mormonism and Joseph Smith said that would not change. So you are again met with either Joseph Smith is a false prophet, OR God is a liar. Make your pick, but you can’t have it both ways.
😂😂😂😂 You look like a LDS Missionary!!! Thanks for spending so much time talking about the LDS Church. It’s going to make it easier to convert those from your church. The more you talk about Mormons the less you talk about Christ. When the missionaries knock on those people that go to your church and start teaching them about Christ they will already know a little about the LDS Church and they’ll be curious to learn more. When I was a missionary, I baptized a lot of families because they were curious about the LDS Church. When they say something they heard from their pastor that was incorrect, it would open the conversation up to teach them more. You’re amazing!!! Keep it up!
You are a prime example of a person in the LDS church who is part of the cause for so many people leaving. But congratulations for patting yourself on the back for a job well done that you will never accomplish. God will confound his enemies of which you are a part of. Good luck fighting against the true God and making it all about yourself.
There is no such religion as “Mormonism“. Similarly, there are no such religions as Isaiahism, Matthewism, Markism, Lukeism, or Johnism. That is a derogatory term using the name of one prophet from one book. Among the misguided and selfish reasons dishonest debaters employee the term “Mormonism“ is to attempt to further distance from Christendom, a denomination which, because of its voluntary clergy, threatens the very livelihoods and retirement plans of the self-proclaimed prophets of all other denominations.
Very professional setup and video. Unfortunately, you made many inaccurate and false claims about the Church, it's leaders and members. I would recommend people read the Book of Mormon themselves to get a clearer idea of the Church and its teachings. Thank you!
While we disagree, I can appreciate your positive remarks. Not sure what I said that was inaccurate, but if you would like to tell me what it was specifically, feel free. Thanks so much.
@@MattPowellOFFICIALwell, for once you pre-suppose that there even is a god and that something like blasphemy is a thing. I don't need to watch past the first 45 seconds to know that the rest is probably not worth watching. Props on the setup though. Very professional indeed. 👌
Matt, I’m gonna help you out bro. Your comment that starts “To Mormons” seems pretty condescending by saying “It’s okay to be wrong,” and I would ask that you don’t read my comment that way. No other gods John 10:31-35 31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; The scripture Jesus is referring to is Psalm 82:6 6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. Hebrews 12:9 says that God is the Father of our spirits 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? Paul further says this in Romans 8:16-17: 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. Interesting…he says if we are children of God, that we are also heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ 🤔 Not needing to be baptized? 🤔 Jesus himself said in John 3:5 5 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. If Jesus was baptized, the most perfect person to walk the earth, I’m pretty sure we need to do the same. Since many people die without the knowledge of the gospel, I see it as a merciful thing that God provides us with a way to provide the ordinance of baptism for those who did not receive it. (1 Corinthians 15:29) Not needing to repent? To repent means to put away your sins and seek forgiveness for them. Jesus told the lady taken in adultery: go, and sin no more. I’m sorry I didn’t get all the way through your video, but just wanted to show you these verses. To you and everyone else, I would ask, why learn about a particular faith from the faithless? Go to the source (aka, the Church) and decide for yourself if it is true and seek guidance from God in prayer.
You misinterpret the Bible by adding your own interpretation to it. The doctrine of the Bible without the lens of the LDS doctrine is completely different. You would know that if you gave it a genuine try.
@@derekjohnson7768 no, I cannot. God can though. You can read the Bible as it is written, remove LDS influence and other forms of influence; a clean read, if you will. And pray to God for the Holy Spirit to testify of its truth.
@@derekjohnson7768 do not confuse the burning in your chest (which is a feeling,) with the words of God. You will hear his voice tell you. It’s very different. It’s not a feeling. It’s an actual voice.
I married an LDS man why because the christian denominations he, was willing to honor the Lord Jesus and me by waiting for marriage. You will a tree by the fruit it bears
You misinterpret that verse. I know, I am an exmo who now believes in the Bible and prays to God. If you do not hear Gods voice you are not part of the flock. God guided me out of Mormonism, so why would he bring you into it? He didn’t. A man brought you in as you said yourself. No man influenced my decision to leave, but God pressed upon me to leave it for years until I finally left. You joined because your husband wouldn’t marry you otherwise. That’s a fact.
@@kittiemarie1235 wow not only are you bearing false witness, with what facts do you base your claims? Where is the scriptures to back up what you are saying? A man NEVER influenced my decision. The bible says forget not the fellowship of the Saints, & also that they will Know ye are my disciples by your love for one another. The holy Ghost WILL AGREE with his words in ANY CHURCH willing to honor him . & frankly i care not of denominations ma’am i care about ppl who follow Jesus not labels. I know being a christian is tough but in your admonishing remember to be filled with the spirit as ones own carnality leads to behavior akin to the state of the sadducees in the book of luke & acts. Any man who uses his own holiness as a weapon against a spouse is not acting in the Holy Ghost , just as equally as is bearing false witness against another believer when the facts of such instances are not present.
@@Medic8808 in John 10:27 Jesus says that his sheep hear his voice and follow him. I do not bear false witness. I testify to you that as an ex member, Jesus is not in that church. You follow a false Christ who teaches blasphemy against God as Holy doctrines and covenants. Blasphemies that are brought about by false prophets who have made prophecies that have not come true (example: Brigham young prophecied that black men would never have any higher station than a white man, Joseph Smith and his prophecy of the temple being built in Missouri as well as his claims that he had done more for the world than any other including Jesus himself. Yes that’s a a real thing he said.) This is a test of a prophet according to the Bible: Deuteronomy 18:22 “when a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously; thou shalt not be afraid of him.” All the Book of Mormon prophets and even modern prophets are proven false through this verse because either the Bible refuted it, (like in the case of all men being of one blood, which removes the negro race following Satan in the pre mortal life,) or reality came along and proved that black men would and do certainly hold positions of power over white men. Not only do Mormons believe that their works in the temple get them to the celestial kingdom, but they believe that as a result they will become Gods and goddesses of their own worlds as God once was. The Bible says that God is only one God and no other came before or shall come after him. That is self explanatory. I am no respecter of religion myself, I simply read the Bible and pray for the Holy Spirit to testify of its truth. When I was a Mormon I did the same thing with the Book of Mormon and only got the feeling in my heart that it could be true. I never heard his voice until I considered that Joseph Smith was wrong about the Bible and that it is not corrupt as he preached. So I read it. And I have learned and understood more in that small fraction of time because God is a miracle worker and he spoke to me, and testified of its truth to me. I do not cast stones as you believe I do, for the Bible is for instruction and all it’s verses may be used to show others the truth. If you do not believe the Bible and instead believe an entirely different doctrine that is worthy of being rebuked. 2 Timothy 3:16 says, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness". I do not believe the Holy Ghost will agree with any church. Another difference between Christianity and Mormonism is the belief in the trinity. Mormons do not believe in the trinity but instead in all three godhead being separate. This is despite the Bible quoting Jesus that he is one with God, and that God is spirit. People who follow Jesus follow the law that he laid down his life for. Which is In 1 Corinthians 9:21, Paul writes, "To those who are without the law, like one without the law-though I am not without God's law but under the law of Christ-to win those without the law". This is all so very simple.

Can you show me the verse that says the thief on the cross was not babptised? This argument sure is used a lot, but the information is not there. They were being baptised in droves in those days, how do you specifically know he wasnt one of those? I'm not argueing that baptising saves or not, I'm just saying there is not enough information there, and it is more of assumption, than a fact.

I found an interesting verse that I think would be helpful: Jesus discusses two types of shame. And he leaves it to us to figure out. The reason for high rates of suicide is likely due to the bad type of shame.

Then there is the shame that is natural; when you do something like steal, or lie, you feel a sense of shame for not being honest. These are different types of shame.

Interesting…he says if we are children of God, that we are also heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ 🤔
Not needing to be baptized? 🤔
Jesus himself said in John 3:5
5 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
If Jesus was baptized, the most perfect person to walk the earth, I’m pretty sure we need to do the same. Since many people die without the knowledge of the gospel, I see it as a merciful thing that God provides us with a way to provide the ordinance of baptism for those who did not receive it. (1 Corinthians 15:29)
Not needing to repent?
To repent means to put away your sins and seek forgiveness for them. Jesus told the lady taken in adultery: go, and sin no more.
I’m sorry I didn’t get all the way through your video, but just wanted to show you these verses. To you and everyone else, I would ask, why learn about a particular faith from the faithless? Go to the source (aka, the Church) and decide for yourself if it is true and seek guidance from God in prayer.
You misinterpret the Bible by adding your own interpretation to it. The doctrine of the Bible without the lens of the LDS doctrine is completely different. You would know that if you gave it a genuine try.
@@kittiemarie1235 can you help me understand what you believe?
@@derekjohnson7768 no, I cannot. God can though. You can read the Bible as it is written, remove LDS influence and other forms of influence; a clean read, if you will. And pray to God for the Holy Spirit to testify of its truth.
@@kittiemarie1235 the Holy Spirit has testified to me of the truthfulness of the Church of Jesus Christ
@@derekjohnson7768 do not confuse the burning in your chest (which is a feeling,) with the words of God. You will hear his voice tell you. It’s very different.
It’s not a feeling. It’s an actual voice.
I married an LDS man why because the christian denominations he, was willing to honor the Lord Jesus and me by waiting for marriage. You will a tree by the fruit it bears
You misinterpret that verse. I know, I am an exmo who now believes in the Bible and prays to God. If you do not hear Gods voice you are not part of the flock. God guided me out of Mormonism, so why would he bring you into it? He didn’t. A man brought you in as you said yourself. No man influenced my decision to leave, but God pressed upon me to leave it for years until I finally left. You joined because your husband wouldn’t marry you otherwise. That’s a fact.
@@kittiemarie1235 wow not only are you bearing false witness, with what facts do you base your claims? Where is the scriptures to back up what you are saying? A man NEVER influenced my decision. The bible says forget not the fellowship of the Saints, & also that they will Know ye are my disciples by your love for one another. The holy Ghost WILL AGREE with his words in ANY CHURCH willing to honor him . & frankly i care not of denominations ma’am i care about ppl who follow Jesus not labels. I know being a christian is tough but in your admonishing remember to be filled with the spirit as ones own carnality leads to behavior akin to the state of the sadducees in the book of luke & acts. Any man who uses his own holiness as a weapon against a spouse is not acting in the Holy Ghost , just as equally as is bearing false witness against another believer when the facts of such instances are not present.
@@Medic8808 in John 10:27 Jesus says that his sheep hear his voice and follow him.
I do not bear false witness. I testify to you that as an ex member, Jesus is not in that church. You follow a false Christ who teaches blasphemy against God as Holy doctrines and covenants. Blasphemies that are brought about by false prophets who have made prophecies that have not come true (example: Brigham young prophecied that black men would never have any higher station than a white man, Joseph Smith and his prophecy of the temple being built in Missouri as well as his claims that he had done more for the world than any other including Jesus himself. Yes that’s a a real thing he said.)
This is a test of a prophet according to the Bible:
Deuteronomy 18:22
“when a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously; thou shalt not be afraid of him.”
All the Book of Mormon prophets and even modern prophets are proven false through this verse because either the Bible refuted it, (like in the case of all men being of one blood, which removes the negro race following Satan in the pre mortal life,) or reality came along and proved that black men would and do certainly hold positions of power over white men.
Not only do Mormons believe that their works in the temple get them to the celestial kingdom, but they believe that as a result they will become Gods and goddesses of their own worlds as God once was.
The Bible says that God is only one God and no other came before or shall come after him. That is self explanatory.
I am no respecter of religion myself, I simply read the Bible and pray for the Holy Spirit to testify of its truth. When I was a Mormon I did the same thing with the Book of Mormon and only got the feeling in my heart that it could be true. I never heard his voice until I considered that Joseph Smith was wrong about the Bible and that it is not corrupt as he preached. So I read it. And I have learned and understood more in that small fraction of time because God is a miracle worker and he spoke to me, and testified of its truth to me.
I do not cast stones as you believe I do, for the Bible is for instruction and all it’s verses may be used to show others the truth. If you do not believe the Bible and instead believe an entirely different doctrine that is worthy of being rebuked.
2 Timothy 3:16 says, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness".
I do not believe the Holy Ghost will agree with any church. Another difference between Christianity and Mormonism is the belief in the trinity. Mormons do not believe in the trinity but instead in all three godhead being separate. This is despite the Bible quoting Jesus that he is one with God, and that God is spirit.
People who follow Jesus follow the law that he laid down his life for. Which is
In 1 Corinthians 9:21, Paul writes, "To those who are without the law, like one without the law-though I am not without God's law but under the law of Christ-to win those without the law".
This is all so very simple.
Revelation 3:21 Early Christians believed they would be Gods through Jesus Christ.

Can you show me the verse that says the thief on the cross was not babptised? This argument sure is used a lot, but the information is not there. They were being baptised in droves in those days, how do you specifically know he wasnt one of those? I'm not argueing that baptising saves or not, I'm just saying there is not enough information there, and it is more of assumption, than a fact.
@@Hill_Billy_Without_A_Hill he literally died on a Cross next to Jesus. They weren’t doing baptisms for the criminals during their crucifixion.

The thief might have been baptised before he turned to crime
