Life without the gospel has been a literal Hell on Earth, I’ve lived in this proverbial dry-parched-desert for 35 years. I can’t live without the sweetness of the gospel any longer. The Book of Mormon and the taking of the Sacrament is the entryway of my returning!! God help remove all the obstacles 🙏
We love you Pres Holland!! ❤ I remember the power of this talk years ago and it seems to be even more powerful now!! The timing of when he gave this is no accident. It seems to me, to be a precursor of the days ahead and the days we are in 15 years later. As Sheri Dew has said, “Prophets see around corners..”.
Well, Joseph should not have been murdered, but he often disobeyed the law. He was arrested for inciting a riot by destroying the printing press in Nauvoo that reported on his previously secret practice of polygamy. He had been charged over 30 times throughout his life of other crimes. Why does he get a pass for illegal activity?
It’s important to distinguish between being charged with a crime and being convicted of one, and this distinction seems to have been overlooked in your post. Your portrayal of Joseph Smith’s legal issues does not align with the historical record. As you have claimed he was charged 30 times yet the real number is much higher! Consider this: Was Jesus Christ accused of disobeying the law? Indeed, He faced accusations from authorities which led to His crucifixion. When evil prevails, it often labels good as evil and vice versa, a pattern observable in many situations, including today. Additionally, while various reports exist, not all are accurate or provable in a court of law. Many allegations, whether historical or contemporary, lack substantiation and should be carefully scrutinized.
@@TheWordsofChrist Thanks for responding. We are commanded to “obey the laws of the land.” My question was, why does Joseph have a different standard? I’ve never been arrested, nor charged with false crimes - let alone over 30 of them. What explanation do we have for Joseph to be involved in so many crimes? Is our explanation purely that the “forces of evil” were against him? Was there zero wrongdoing on his part?
Did you read over my previous response? If someone is charged but not convicted, it logically suggests that either no wrongdoing occurred or that there was insufficient evidence to prove any involvement of wrongdoing in a court of law. If a person faced numerous charges-much more than 30 times-yet was not convicted of those charges in a court of law, is it not logical to conclude that others may have wished to harm Joseph Smith or his character by repeatedly making frivolous claims in an attempt to do so? It's important to note that our personal experience of not either being charged or conviction of crimes ourselves don't directly impact the discussion about Joseph Smith. We've seen cases recently where DNA evidence has led to the release of individuals who were wrongly convicted of serious crimes. This demonstrates that sometimes, despite legal convictions, the truth can reveal that someone was not guilty of the charges against them.
I don't know why P. Holland touches my soul as he does, but I absolutely stand with his words. He is truly a prophet of God and I stand amazed at his loving sincere testimony.
@jake8882 Their belief system is nothing but righteous and good. It's actually not even their belief system but it's the Lords standards and teachings. Our leaders speak for the Lord when under the influence of the Holy Ghost. Nobody is perfect but most are trying their best. They belief in righteousness and goodness. The articles of faith will tell you what they believe.
Jeffrey R. Holland is so relatable to so many. He is one of my favorites, but I love all the Apostles. Thank you all for your desire to serve our church and God.
This man has changed my life. His testimony has changed my life for the better. I love him dearly and thank my Heavenly Father for allowing him to be an apostle here on this earth during my time
I have received a witness by the Holy Spirit time and time again of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. I love hearing the words of Christ in that book. The prophets also truly do testify of Christ and how much he wants each of his children to repent and return to him. It is important for true joy in our lives to believe in him, be baptized and follow him by making and keeping covenants, recognize him as our Savior and redeemer . How blessed we are to have his beautiful gift of the atonement of Jesus Christ for each of us.
I also have a spiritual knowledge of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. Anyone can receive this witness as God is no respecter of persons. My soul is also very grateful for the Bible. Throughout my life I read these books most days to get closer to Heavenly Father and Christ.
I glory in the Lord and I love and honor this man, Jeffrey Holland, who testifies so boldly of a true prophet of God. Joseph Smith was the first prophet in this dispensation and he was the best man to do the work that God called him to do. That of a young man who was a farmer, uneducated and so humble. I stand with him as I do with the Lord and his gospel of which I am a part of and so thankful for each and every day!
if you KNOW that the bom is trrue then tyou havent read the Holy Bible for it shows that the bom is FALSE . We sjudge all things by the Bible NOT the other way around !
Thank you for this Heavenly talk. I believe that our Father and Savior are very pleased and will bless you for. I feel privileged to have been led to your channel.
Thank you for posting this! I add my name to Elder Holland's and say with absolute plainness that The Book of Mormon is true and is a book of scripture as precious as our beloved Bible!
This is one of the most inspired talks I have ever listened to. I remember it now. I'm so happy to be able to hear it again! One of the best witnesses of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon ever given! ❤❤❤
Okay world in general and those who oppose the Church specially; Take this testimony and put it to the test. Remember that at the last judgment, not only will you Nephi, Mormon, and Moroni, but also Elder Holland of the truth of the Book of Mormon (2 Nephi 33: 15). His testimony humbles me with its fervor and sincerity. As he said in the end of his talk, '... if you do not believe these words, believe in Christ, and if you do believe in Christ, you will believe these word for they testify of Christ' (2 Nephi 33:10-11)
This is the most powerful testimony of the BOOK OF MORMON I have ever heard! Even if one was not a member of the church this testimony of the divinity of the book would lead one to sincerely investigate the church and it's teaching. Thank you elder Holland for this most powerful and eloquent talk.
I love Elder Holland. I am not sure why his teachings touch my heart so deeply but all l know is, he is one of God's honorable men. Thank you brother Holland for your words.
THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS IS THE LORDS TRUE CHURCH HERE UPON THE EARTH 🌎 PLEASE PRAY AND ASK GOD IF THIS IS TRUE AND RECEIVE YOUR OWN SPIRITUAL WITNESS OF IT'S TRUTH
You’ll begin to see results once you start doing the things you know you should and ask the Lord with a sincere heart. The Lord does answer, but He may withhold answers if He knows you won’t accept and act with faith once you receive them. The Lord is so loving that He doesn’t want to add the sin of disobedience to our burdens. So if you’re serious, ask yourself this question: "What do I need to start or stop doing to get closer to You?" You’ll likely receive a gentle impression right away, and it’s probably something you’ve felt before but may have ignored. This time, don’t ignore it. Start or stop doing what the Holy Spirit has prompted you to do, and don’t forget to ask the Lord for help. Doing this consistently, day by day and hour by hour, will bring you to a point where you can receive even greater answers. Trust me, it works. Try it now and see how your life changes as you turn to God and invite the Lord to help you do what you couldn’t do on your own.
The Book of Mormon are the words of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, which He commanded his ancient prophets to be written that it may come to light in the last days to the convincing of both Jew and Gentile that Jesus is the Christ. Given by the angel Moroni written in gold plates, translated by the gift and power of God through the Prophet Joseph Smith. Joseph and Hyrum were not separated in life and even in death. They sealed their testimony of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon with the shedding of their blood. The Prophet Joseph knew that God knew it and he could not deny it. I am so greatful for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and for our living Prophet today: President Russell M. Nelson!
What's fun is now that I can reliably feel what is right and also understand the path that God wants for me, I can safely listen and actually agree with most church talks now. That's huge for me and I'm really happy about that! I've been repenting! My disposition to do evil is less than the year and a half ago that I started listening to the come follow me lessons everyday on the way to work. It works if you work it! I am not perfect and I sin everyday, I am not flawless but I feel the Spirit everyday and that means I am worthy of the Spirit of course since I'm feeling it. God is awesome, also terrible, but that's because He's better than me And I am so poor in spirit that it is terrible to think this wretched thing that I am is worthy of His love, He is amazing and I don't get what He gets out of me but I'm so happy that He loves me and that He cares for me.
I believe these words and know that they are true and steadfast and need to remember these words whenever we are in doubt or temptation is near at our door. Love and pray for our Leader's and feel they do so for each of us and profess these words in Jesus name, Amen!
I am sorry to hear of your church experiences in Utah. I am a lifetime Californian now living in Utah. There are great spiritual people here and of course, there are some only half committed to the Savior or no longer committed. Our first responsibility is to become fully converted to Christ and then do as he does, demonstrate love for all. We have the benefit of applying the teachings of the Book of Mormon towards helping us in this cause of love. Please lovingly help and pray for those that you see that can benefit from your testimony that you admit to having. It will bring you joy knowing that you helped The Lord
Thank You Brother Holland for your strong witness of the Book of Mormon and the prophet Joseph Smith. I love that you are willing to stand alone if needed, but know that we stand with you. I add my witness as well. Every thing you say in this your testimony, rings true to my soul.

I was in attendance in the Conference Center when Elder Holland gave that wonderful talk. It was given in October 2009. I was so thrilled when he gave his wonderful testimony of the Book of Mormon. I wanted to stand up and shout I agree and hurray. God bless you Pres. Holland
Thank you President Holland for a wish bold testimony if the Book ofMormon. I feel your spirit so strongly when you speak. I love you President Holland
This Book of Mormon is true. If you want a copy, look for the missionaries. They have a badge on them and they would be happy to get one for you, then pray to know if it is true. It has changed my life and it will change yours. ❤
What a powerful message. It is true. As a college student I accepted the challenge printed in the book on Moroni 10:4 The Holy Ghost bore powerful witness that it was true. It was the real deal and I always remember that and shall never forget that special experience.
This is what I find the most interesting. When all the early apostles of Christ died they did so professing Jesus was the Christ and Son of God! They died for and in their belief! Joseph and Hyrum died under nearly the same circumstance. The early Apostles could have recanted their message when death was threaten, but they could not and would not disappoint God and that is probably exactly how Joseph and Hyrum felt about it! They knew death was literally at the door, but they stayed true to the cause! You don't have to believe in the book to feel it's effects! Just like you don't have to believe in Jesus to see how your life changes if you follow his teachings! AMEN!
I cannot say eloquent words like Elder Holland but I know through the Holy Ghost that the Book of Mormon is the words of the prophets given to them by the Savior Jesus Christ for us in this day.
The ancient apostles went about healing and casting out devils. The works done were so profound and undeniable that some of these apostles became famous to the point where people would hope that being in the path of one of their shadows would be enough to heal them. It is one thing to stand at a podium and bear testimony, and it's quite another do the works that Christ did and be hated, jailed, and beaten for them.
D&C 45:57) For they that are wise and have received the truth, and have taken the Holy Spirit for their guide, and have not been deceived--verily I say unto you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day. how are we to know the truth and not be deceived? Know the words of Christ, know your scriptures. Know the voice of the Holy Spirit, and do not be darkened in your mind, but learn to listen and obey.
@dc2717 It's listed as October 2009 Conference address: "Safety for the Soul". Click the 'more' button in the description area to review additional information. Best wishes.
So why doesn't the church recognise the nemenhah records? (Which were presented to Brigham young) Or chief midegah of the ojibwe nation and the birch bark scrolls? Why do the native Americans have to release more of their records this September in a big meeting in order to get the church's attention?
What makes you think that you are due an explanation of these things? The Lord's time is not our time. If there is truth in these things, then it will be revealed in His due time. Do you truly believe the church as a whole understands The Book of Mormon? I personally don't think so. If not, what need have we of additional scripture?
The gathering of Israel is a gathering of the truth about our Savior Jesus Christ among the peoples of the earth. The Lord visited many people after His death and Resurrection, according to both the Bible and the Book of Mormon -"Other Sheep". Why would any saint be surprised that people visited by our Savior kept their own record of their dealings with Jesus Christ?
The CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS only mission is to gather and call Israel home. I believe in your position of the Matter and have found great pleasure in reading several books about the Ojibwa nation. However there are many BYU scholars who have pinpointed the Myah in central America. It’ll all be worked out in a very short period of time.
As a member of the church, I love your videos…however I pray that you will remove the constant movement from the bottom of the screen. It is such a distraction, it’s hard to focus on the content at hand. We all need to be moving away from any distractions that keep us from the gospel & moving forward.
The enemy of truth exists within the church. As someone who has felt the spirit I know that the gospel is true. Problem is the church within utah is so corrupt. It's hard to watch the church I loved as a child. Become so vile after my family moved to utah. The church is true but it is also untrue. Best of luck.
Many people talk about the Church being true, but we must remember that the Church is an organization. It is the gospel of Jesus Christ that is true, and our focus should be on Christ, the scriptures that teach the gospel with clarity and plainness, and the words of both past and current prophets and apostles when they testify of Christ and guide us toward Him. Again, while The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is considered the Lord’s true church on earth, it is important to recognize that the central focus should always be on Jesus Christ, His Atonement, and His teachings as found in the scriptures. President Russell M. Nelson often reminds members to develop a personal relationship with Christ and to be immersed in His gospel. The Church serves as the structure to facilitate this, but the true saving power comes from Christ and His gospel. Due to the challenges and widespread issues in society today, the Church has implemented safeguards to protect children, such as not allowing adults to teach children alone. This is in line with the directive that gospel teaching should be a family-centered, Church-supported effort. We must remember this guidance and act accordingly. Don’t let the imperfections of Church organization or the mistakes or sins of leaders-whether local or otherwise-shake your testimony. Our faith should remain rooted in Jesus Christ and His gospel.
The answer to your question can be found in the video description. It references Jeffrey R. Holland's October 2009 Conference Address titled "Safety for the Soul."
This argument that men wouldn’t die for a false religion or belief…the people of Jonestown, Heavensgate, and countless Jihadis would like a word. There are lots of arguments for belief, but, “depth of commitment unto death,” is not one of them.
I am not going to tell you that heavens gate or Islam is the "TRUE" religion, but they must have truly believed it to die for it... Why not try to read the book and decide for yourself?!?!
I believe his point is that as the founder of the religion, it would be logically incoherent for him to take solace in the words of the Book of Mormon if he had written the book and knew that he had simply made it all up
As clearly explained in the channel description, I don’t earn anything from this channel. However, since this is RUclips, all videos have ads because the platform uses them to generate revenue. I don't make a single penny for the roughly 100 hours per week I spend creating content and responding to comments. This is just one of the small ways I contribute to the gathering of Israel.
I invite you to watch this short video exploring how the Bible and the Book of Mormon support each other. After watching, I encourage you to read the Book of Mormon for yourself. It offers profound insights and teachings. If you’ve found the Bible to be deeply meaningful, you might find that the Book of Mormon has its own significant and thoughtful contributions as well. - ruclips.net/video/BteuBueQS_I/видео.html
Absolutely, it's true that anyone, including leaders, can be susceptible to deception. In our faith, we emphasize personal revelation and the guidance of the Holy Spirit to help discern truth. While we respect and value our leaders, we also believe in seeking personal confirmation through prayer and study. This approach helps ensure that our understanding aligns with divine truth, as outlined in scriptures and personal revelation.
Life without the gospel has been a literal Hell on Earth, I’ve lived in this proverbial dry-parched-desert for 35 years. I can’t live without the sweetness of the gospel any longer. The Book of Mormon and the taking of the Sacrament is the entryway of my returning!! God help remove all the obstacles 🙏
Your hope and faith in Christ and his gospel are a strength to anyone who reads this.
God bless your journey.
We love you Pres Holland!! ❤
I remember the power of this talk years ago and it seems to be even more powerful now!! The timing of when he gave this is no accident. It seems to me, to be a precursor of the days ahead and the days we are in 15 years later. As Sheri Dew has said, “Prophets see around corners..”.
Thank you, Elder Holland. I love hearing your witness of our Almighty GOD. Amen and Amen forever
When Elder Holland said that these men would never give up their lives for a book 📕 unless it was true….it was profound. He is so right.
To bad they dont read it

I heard, though said in jest, that "when the Devil goes to bed, he checks under his bed for Jeffery R Holland."
Me too.
Everyone loves Holland! He's filled with the spirit. He's direct yet loving. Never afraid to speak truth. We love him!

Love. Pres Hollands testimony. What a great man. 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
Okay world in general and those who oppose the Church specially; Take this testimony and put it to the test. Remember that at the last judgment, not only will you Nephi, Mormon, and Moroni, but also Elder Holland of the truth of the Book of Mormon (2 Nephi 33: 15).
His testimony humbles me with its fervor and sincerity. As he said in the end of his talk, '... if you do not believe these words, believe in Christ, and if you do believe in Christ, you will believe these word for they testify of Christ' (2 Nephi 33:10-11)
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, Safety for the Soul, October 2009 General Conference.
I love all your stuff…I watching it all. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome!
Oorah Elder Holland. And amen. Your testimony is also now written in my heart.
This is the most powerful testimony of the BOOK OF MORMON I have ever heard! Even if one was not a member of the church this testimony of the divinity of the book would lead one to sincerely investigate the church and it's teaching. Thank you elder Holland for this most powerful and eloquent talk.
I love Elder Holland. I am not sure why his teachings touch my heart so deeply but all l know is, he is one of God's honorable men. Thank you brother Holland for your words.
Thank you for being part of the gospel of Jesus Christ, Helen.
Knowing to find peace in the Savior is very important.
I love President Holland. His words are profound and true.
THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS IS THE LORDS TRUE CHURCH HERE UPON THE EARTH 🌎 PLEASE PRAY AND ASK GOD IF THIS IS TRUE AND RECEIVE YOUR OWN SPIRITUAL WITNESS OF IT'S TRUTH
It is : the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints !!!
Amen
I wonder why I don’t receive my answer about this 😢
You’ll begin to see results once you start doing the things you know you should and ask the Lord with a sincere heart. The Lord does answer, but He may withhold answers if He knows you won’t accept and act with faith once you receive them.
The Lord is so loving that He doesn’t want to add the sin of disobedience to our burdens. So if you’re serious, ask yourself this question: "What do I need to start or stop doing to get closer to You?" You’ll likely receive a gentle impression right away, and it’s probably something you’ve felt before but may have ignored.
This time, don’t ignore it. Start or stop doing what the Holy Spirit has prompted you to do, and don’t forget to ask the Lord for help. Doing this consistently, day by day and hour by hour, will bring you to a point where you can receive even greater answers.
Trust me, it works. Try it now and see how your life changes as you turn to God and invite the Lord to help you do what you couldn’t do on your own.
Absolute truth expressed with absolute sincerity.
Words to live by. I love President Holland. He speaks truth. He spreads love wherever he goes.
There is no better speaker... anywhere.

What an amazing man!
What a great Talk love it !
I recieved a testimony of it by reading it when I was 16. I bear witness of its truthfulness born to me by the holy spirit. IT IS TRUE!!!!!!!!!!
What a powerful message. It is true. As a college student I accepted the challenge printed in the book on Moroni 10:4 The Holy Ghost bore powerful witness that it was true. It was the real deal and I always remember that and shall never forget that special experience.
This is what I find the most interesting. When all the early apostles of Christ died they did so professing Jesus was the Christ and Son of God! They died for and in their belief! Joseph and Hyrum died under nearly the same circumstance. The early Apostles could have recanted their message when death was threaten, but they could not and would not disappoint God and that is probably exactly how Joseph and Hyrum felt about it! They knew death was literally at the door, but they stayed true to the cause! You don't have to believe in the book to feel it's effects! Just like you don't have to believe in Jesus to see how your life changes if you follow his teachings! AMEN!
I loved the Book of Mormon
Amen! Amen! Amen!
Its very fortunate that some people are trying to deny a religious book
I cannot say eloquent words like Elder Holland but I know through the Holy Ghost that the Book of Mormon is the words of the prophets given to them by the Savior Jesus Christ for us in this day.
Cast-iron. No doubt. Amen.
So true. Amen.
The ancient apostles went about healing and casting out devils.
The works done were so profound and undeniable that some of these apostles became famous to the point where people would hope that being in the path of one of their shadows would be enough to heal them.
It is one thing to stand at a podium and bear testimony, and it's quite another do the works that Christ did and be hated, jailed, and beaten for them.
I was catholic until i got my testimony by the holy Ghost that the Book of Mormón is true!
Amen 🙏
Truth Will NOT be proven false
D&C 45:57) For they that are wise and have received the truth, and have taken the Holy Spirit for their guide, and have not been deceived--verily I say unto you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day.
how are we to know the truth and not be deceived?
Know the words of Christ, know your scriptures.
Know the voice of the Holy Spirit, and do not be darkened in your mind, but learn to listen and obey.
AMEN. AMEN. and AMEN! 🙏
Love the message, but get rid of the lines on the bottom! Very distracting!
Don’t watch, just listen, if the words distract.
What is the date this talk was given?
@dc2717 It's listed as October 2009 Conference address: "Safety for the Soul". Click the 'more' button in the description area to review additional information. Best wishes.
So why doesn't the church recognise the nemenhah records? (Which were presented to Brigham young) Or chief midegah of the ojibwe nation and the birch bark scrolls? Why do the native Americans have to release more of their records this September in a big meeting in order to get the church's attention?
Because the native americans are Jewish?
Who is to say they are true records :) even the very elect will be deceived my friend. Even the very elect.
What makes you think that you are due an explanation of these things? The Lord's time is not our time. If there is truth in these things, then it will be revealed in His due time.
Do you truly believe the church as a whole understands The Book of Mormon? I personally don't think so. If not, what need have we of additional scripture?
The gathering of Israel is a gathering of the truth about our Savior Jesus Christ among the peoples of the earth. The Lord visited many people after His death and Resurrection, according to both the Bible and the Book of Mormon -"Other Sheep". Why would any saint be surprised that people visited by our Savior kept their own record of their dealings with Jesus Christ?
The CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS only mission is to gather and call Israel home. I believe in your position of the Matter and have found great pleasure in reading several books about the Ojibwa nation. However there are many BYU scholars who have pinpointed the Myah in central America. It’ll all be worked out in a very short period of time.

As a member of the church, I love your videos…however I pray that you will remove the constant movement from the bottom of the screen. It is such a distraction, it’s hard to focus on the content at hand. We all need to be moving away from any distractions that keep us from the gospel & moving forward.
Hold on to the iron rod. ❤😊
The enemy of truth exists within the church. As someone who has felt the spirit I know that the gospel is true. Problem is the church within utah is so corrupt. It's hard to watch the church I loved as a child. Become so vile after my family moved to utah. The church is true but it is also untrue. Best of luck.
Many people talk about the Church being true, but we must remember that the Church is an organization. It is the gospel of Jesus Christ that is true, and our focus should be on Christ, the scriptures that teach the gospel with clarity and plainness, and the words of both past and current prophets and apostles when they testify of Christ and guide us toward Him.
Again, while The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is considered the Lord’s true church on earth, it is important to recognize that the central focus should always be on Jesus Christ, His Atonement, and His teachings as found in the scriptures. President Russell M. Nelson often reminds members to develop a personal relationship with Christ and to be immersed in His gospel. The Church serves as the structure to facilitate this, but the true saving power comes from Christ and His gospel.
Due to the challenges and widespread issues in society today, the Church has implemented safeguards to protect children, such as not allowing adults to teach children alone. This is in line with the directive that gospel teaching should be a family-centered, Church-supported effort. We must remember this guidance and act accordingly. Don’t let the imperfections of Church organization or the mistakes or sins of leaders-whether local or otherwise-shake your testimony. Our faith should remain rooted in Jesus Christ and His gospel.
Why am I seeing commercials in the middle of a talk like this? You've monetized Elder Holland's talk?
The channel is not monitized. I'm personally of the opinion that doing so would be priestcraft. See welcome video description for more details.
When was this delivered?
The answer to your question can be found in the video description. It references Jeffrey R. Holland's October 2009 Conference Address titled "Safety for the Soul."
Sorry, I didn't scroll down far enough!
I very much appreciate your posting this!
Aloha hugs 🤗 I need to help raise some of God Children ifind me again Sir that works at BYU Hawaii please
This argument that men wouldn’t die for a false religion or belief…the people of Jonestown, Heavensgate, and countless Jihadis would like a word.
There are lots of arguments for belief, but, “depth of commitment unto death,” is not one of them.
I am not going to tell you that heavens gate or Islam is the "TRUE" religion, but they must have truly believed it to die for it... Why not try to read the book and decide for yourself?!?!
I believe his point is that as the founder of the religion, it would be logically incoherent for him to take solace in the words of the Book of Mormon if he had written the book and knew that he had simply made it all up
I'm a translator also

Should you really have adds on a conference talk?
It’s extremely fitting given the mormon church is a multi-billion dollar corporation.
As clearly explained in the channel description, I don’t earn anything from this channel. However, since this is RUclips, all videos have ads because the platform uses them to generate revenue. I don't make a single penny for the roughly 100 hours per week I spend creating content and responding to comments. This is just one of the small ways I contribute to the gathering of Israel.
Very stage 1 faith. Good for a simpler view of life. It works until it doesn’t and circumstances necessitate a deeper look into the gospel
Why do you put the voice sound waves on the screen. It’s so annoying and disturbing that I can’t watch the video.
Thanks for the feedback. The sound wave has been removed in the newer videos.
Please remove the sound bar at the bottom of the video. It is very distracting!
I already have, with more recent videos.
What if you guys are the deceived ones?
Deceived about what exactly? Scriptures, Christ, Prophets, Prayer, Holy Spirit, 10 Commandments, Repentance
@@TheWordsofChrist all of the above
What if we don’t?
The BOM is a poor attempt at mimicking the Holy Bible (of ages). Elementary and laughable at best.
I invite you to watch this short video exploring how the Bible and the Book of Mormon support each other. After watching, I encourage you to read the Book of Mormon for yourself. It offers profound insights and teachings. If you’ve found the Bible to be deeply meaningful, you might find that the Book of Mormon has its own significant and thoughtful contributions as well. - ruclips.net/video/BteuBueQS_I/видео.html
Thank you . God bless you . Amen .
Listen to all his talks not just gc talks
All people even leaders could be deceived
Absolutely, it's true that anyone, including leaders, can be susceptible to deception. In our faith, we emphasize personal revelation and the guidance of the Holy Spirit to help discern truth. While we respect and value our leaders, we also believe in seeking personal confirmation through prayer and study. This approach helps ensure that our understanding aligns with divine truth, as outlined in scriptures and personal revelation.
The power and strength of these words can be felt in every good persons heart. Just listen.❤
It is true every word.
