Are their visions, healings, and other spiritual gifts in the church today? Yes! Believe President Henry B. Eyring! Expectations: Today's Youth Will Rise To Them "Elder Eyring quoted Joel 2:27-32: 'And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed. And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions . . . and It shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered. . . .' "Then Elder Eyring explained, 'The scripture does not say that your sons and your daughters may claim the gift of prophecy by the Spirit. It says that they will. It doesn't say that your young men may see visions. It says that they will. And it will come because the Lord will pour out His Spirit upon all flesh. Not only will the youth you love and serve have the Spirit poured out on them, but so will the people around them and those who lead them.' "But, he added, the Spirit will also wash over some and fail to make a difference. Choices, he explained, must be made in faith to receive spiritual power." President Henry B. Eyring, quoted by the Church News www.thechurchnews.com/2004/8/7/23237984/expectations-todays-youth-will-rise-to-them/
@DanielSharonTveten As I have served in the Temple, this has become more evident for me in my personal life. I'm so grateful for my spiritual gifts they have enhanced my testimony and brought me closer to Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world .🌎
My mother had a similar experience. When she was 15 they called the priest in for last rights. Before he got there 3 women angels stood before her bed and told her that she was not going to die, that she had important work left to do in her life. She fully recovered after that. She had a hard life with many struggles, but finally 40 years later she joined the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and did so much genealogy work for her ancestors.
Before his mission, my son fell over 60 feet from the top of a tree. In the emergency room a portion of his life path opened up to me in a brief vision as I gave him a blessing that caused me to tell him that he still had much the Lord wanted him to accomplish in life and that his body would heal. He heard and retained that promise in his memory and he became a different person after that. He's done much to bless the Spanish community since that time and is currently raising 2 boys with a Columbian wife.
Elder Sanchez, I was baptised in 1953 at age 25. The experiences I had then and since couldn't be bought with the world on a silver platter. I look forward to meeting, again, those who helped convert me. Yep, I'm 96 now. It made for a wonderful life.
Your words really hit home for me. I had an experience, and it felt more real than real life, and I have been confused about that for some time. Thank you for this answer.
If you liked this, then you'll love another video that I was considering whether or not to post:) And yes, the youth certainly do have these experiences. And the adults, also! Here is a selection of some teachings of President Eyring regarding the youth seeking and receiving spiritual gifts. It's from the article in the Church News titled "Expectations: Today's Youth Will Rise to Them": Elder Eyring quoted Joel 2:27-32: "And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed. And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions . . . and It shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered. . . ." Then Elder Eyring explained, "The scripture does not say that your sons and your daughters may claim the gift of prophecy by the Spirit. It says that they will. It doesn't say that your young men may see visions. It says that they will. And it will come because the Lord will pour out His Spirit upon all flesh. Not only will the youth you love and serve have the Spirit poured out on them, but so will the people around them and those who lead them." But, he added, the Spirit will also wash over some and fail to make a difference. Choices, he explained, must be made in faith to receive spiritual power. "That is how we can and must make a difference," Elder Eyring said. "You know the choices they must make that matter most. So you can make it far more likely that they will choose what will let them claim a constant companionship of the Spirit. That is what they can have. That is what they must have." It all begins with expectations, he said. "If you expect little, they will feel your lack of faith in them and in the Lord's promised outpouring of the Spirit. . . . Your choices of what you expect will have powerful effect on their choices of what to expect of themselves." Elder Eyring listed four choices Latter-day Saint young people will make that "you can make a difference by the expectations you raise in them."
WHY DO LDS REJECT ETERNAL GOD OF BIBLE & BELIEVE IN FALSE EVOLVING GODS OF Joseph Smith? ISN'T YOUR ETERNITY WORTH EXAMINING THE TRUTH? "Before me NO god was formed, nor shall there be ANY after me.” (Isaiah 43:10) If Mormonism is true, then God could not make this claim, for he was just a man at one point; nor could he claim that no gods would come after him, for that is the goal of LDS members. Isaiah 44:6 says, "I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God." and it goes on "Is there any God besides me?... I know not one" So obviously God is saying there is NOT any infinite amount of Gods, and there is none other like Him. Mormonism teaches that there is. LDS paid scholar Dan McClellan: " The data pretty firmly points in the OPPOSITE direction of a historical BOM" youtube short video "Is the BOM historical?" There is NO archaeological, anthropological, topological, linguistic, botanical or dna evidence to support the Book of Mormon. LDS anthropologist Dee Green: “The first myth we need to eliminate is that BOM archaeology exists” conceding 20 years of research “left us empty-handed” (Green 1969 p. 77) NO trace of Jewish DNA found in any Indian burial ground anywhere in the Americas from time period of BOM. Thomas W. Murphy, (Mormon scholar, DNA researcher): “the genetic evidence shows that American Indians are not Hebrews, they are not Israelites. The Book of Mormon is not true.” John Whitmer Historical Association Journal 2005 NO truth: Book of Abraham published with 3 drawings taken from an ancient Egyptian papyrus. The book is a funerary papyrus showing scenes from the Egyptian Book of the Dead. In drawings Nos. 1 & 3, Smith misidentifies everything depicted. "LDS and non-LDS Egyptologists agree that the characters on the fragments do not match the translation given in the book of Abraham" Quote from LDS OFFICIAL WEB PAGE NO trace of “2 million Jaredites slain” (Ether 15:2), with iron, brass, breast-plates, shields, and armor. It is impossible for these millions of dead warriors in metal armor to leave no trace. NO trace of the "great" city Zarahemla- it is impossible for a city the size of Zarahemla described in BOM (Alma 5:2; D&C 125:3) to leave no trace. NO temple like Solomon's described in 2 Nephi 5:16 has ever been found yet biblical temple is easily seen in Jerusalem. This "temple" could not just disappear. NO Nephite "reformed Egyptian" writings described by J.S. ever found anywhere as it is not a real language anywhere in the world. NO cities mentioned in the BOM have ever been located (none of 38) ANYWHERE. It would be impossible for them to disappear unless they never existed. NO evidence: "The whole land was covered with buildings, and the people were as numerous, as it were the sand of the sea." Yet NOT ONE ever located. (Mormon 1:7) IMPOSSIBLE for highly advanced civilizations (Jaredites, Nephites) & MILLIONS of people to have vanished. The BOM speaks of sheep, swine, silk, wool clothing & elephants existing in the Americas when they did not. 1 Ne.13:7; Alma 4:6; Ether 9:17 and 10:24 These were brought to America centuries later by Europeans. NO wheat, no goats, no metal smelting furnaces, no metal armor, no steel swords, no cattle, no chariot parts, no brass (Mosiah 8:10) no evidence of the listed Kings in BOM, no Jewish relics or Jewish Temples from supposed Jews, no metal plates like Nephites supposedly used, no middle eastern seeds growing, "which were brought from the land of Jerusalem ... and grew exceedingly" 1 Nephi 18:24 CAN WE IGNORE THE LACK OF EVIDENCE FOR THE THE BOOK OF MORMON AND JUST TRUST OUR FEELINGS AS TO THE TRUTH OF IT EVEN THOUGH IT CONFLICTS WITH THE BIBLE? NO! D&C Section 9:8-9 - tell us that if something is true it will make our "bosom burn" and we will FEEL that it is right. Maroni 10:4 says: "he will manifest the truth of it unto you"
The Bible warns us against this subjective type of truth test. Why? Because we have a sinful nature that can be deceived. Proverbs 28:26 "He that trusts in his own (bosom) heart is a FOOL." The Scriptures, however, are infallible and can never be wrong (John 17:17; Psalm 119:128; 33:4; 19:8; Romans 3:4). This is why the Bible frequently urges us to study and meditate on God's word. 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV "STUDY ... rightly dividing the word of TRUTH." Acts 17:11 "EXAMINE THE SCRIPTURES to see if what said is TRUE". 1John 4:1 says: "BELIEVE NOT EVERY SPIRIT, ... because MANY FALSE PROPHETS (J.S.) have gone out into the world."
Mormonism CLAIMS the bible was corrupted to justify Joseph Smith's changing of the biblical, eternal God into an evolving, created god, who is not all powerful and is one of an endless number of gods . However, this is a PROVABLY FALSE claim.
The Claim: In the BOM, the prophet Nephi has a vision the Bible was CORRUPTED and "plain and precious parts" were removed after the 12 apostles and after the formation of the “great and ABOMINABLE church” (1 Nephi 13:26-29). Most Mormons believe this is the Catholic Church formed in the 4th century. Nephi claims this church was founded by the DEVIL (1 Nephi 14:3). So let’s objectively examine the Bible & BOM. BIBLE: The Dead Sea Scrolls have been dated to as early as 350 BC. One is the Great Isaiah Scroll, which is the oldest known copy of the Book of Isaiah dated to 180 BC. Do ANY ancient scrolls show Smith's "uncorrupted" version of scripture? NO! Yet they would if the scripture was later corrupted after the 12 apostles died as Smith and Nephi said. Also, if they had been corrupted, Jesus would have corrected scripture instead of affirming it! Jesus sd:“ I told you EVERYTHING written about me in the Law of Moses, the Books of the Prophets, and in the Psalms had to happen.” (Luke 24:44-46) Scripture is the same today as it was 2,100+ years ago with only minor spelling and punctuation differences. Joseph Smith was wrong. These scrolls pre-dated Catholics, and are Jewish scrolls and the BOM says the Jews had the Scriptures in their "purity". 1Nephi 13:25 LDS Apologist Wayne Ham admitted the Isaiah scroll does not support the the BOM. Apologist Dr. Sidney B. Sperry, of BYU, said the Dead Sea Scrolls do not help the case for the BOM. BYU Professor Joseph F. McConkie: "Rather than Joseph Smith as Found in Ancient Manuscripts, it ought be Joseph Smith as Lost in Ancient Manuscripts.” (Religious Studies Center, 1984) IS THE GOD OF THE BOOK OF MORMON THE SAME ONE AS IN THE BIBLE? NO! In the LDS Church’s 147th Conf., Gen Authority Bernard P. Brockbank said: the Christ followed by Mormons is NOT THE CHRIST followed by traditional Christianity. (Ensign, May 1977 p. 26) Like Joseph Smith, the goal of Satan was to be like God and have worshipers. "I will exalt my throne above the stars of God ... I will be like the Most High”’ (Isaiah 14:12-14) The new testament has not been corrupted either. See the book of John. Smith changed it to make Jesus a created being. Research a 1900 year old papyri known as the Bodmer Papyri of the book of John. (written 150 AD, around the Apostle John's time) John 1:1 "In the BEGINNING was the WORD and the WORD was WITH God and the WORD WAS God." ΕΝ ΑΡΧΗ ΗΝ Ο ΛΟΓΟΣ ΚΑΙ Ο ΛΟΓΟΣ ΗΝ ΠΡΟΣ ΤΟΝ ΘΕΟΝ ΚΑΙ ΘΕΟΣ ΗΝ Ο ΛΟΓΟΣ (look up this ancient Greek yourself on google) John 1:1 Joseph Smith mistranslation: "In the beginning was the GOSPEL preached through the Son. And the GOSPEL was the word, and the word was with the Son, and the Son was with God, and the Son was of God." Smith's Jesus is no longer God in the flesh but the biblical Jesus is: "God was manifest in the flesh" 1Tim. 3:16 KJV. In order to try to make things work for LDS, J.S. added extra verses and verbiage into John 1 that were never there in any ancient texts to try to separate the idea of a trinity into 3 Gods. There are 4,000 Greek manuscripts of the New Testament. Some go back to 350 AD and NONE support Joseph Smith's claims that the bible of today has been corrupted. Papyrus fragments exist of the New Testament dated to 175 AD and show that the new testament has NOT been "corrupted". (New Testament Docs: Are They Reliable? Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1967 pp. 15-17) The manuscript and archeological evidence for the BIBLE is the GREATEST in antiquity. I pray you know the true Jesus and not Joseph Smith's exalted man from another planet who is not eternal, not all powerful, not perfect but evolving, and was polygamous. God is much greater than the humanoid of Mormonism and NOT just ONE OF AN ENDLESS NUMBER OF EVOLVING GODS. Jesus said ALL scripture will NOT fade away but "many wolves in sheep's clothing" will come trying to add to the word. Mathew 7:15 Joseph Smith changed Jesus, the Father and taught you can become a GOD. It hurts my heart to see Mormons fall for the lie that we can become God when there is only one eternal God found in the bible. "The only men who become Gods, even the sons of Gods are those that enter into polygamy." (Brigham Young) Journal of Discourses 11 p.269 Apostle Orson Pratt, in The Seer, page 172, “the great Messiah who was the founder of the Christian religion was a Polygamist…The son followed the example of his Father" God gave us critical thinking & logical reasoning for a reason, which is why he does tell us to EXAMINE and TEST what we are being taught for TRUTH. The bible withstands the truth test. Joseph Smith's version fails the truth test. It's your eternity, study it for yourself. God bless.
Thank you for sharing your testimony. I am so grateful you came back and that your life’s mission is unfolding. May God continue to bless you in all things.
D&C 130 20 There is a law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before the foundations of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated- 21 And when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated. John 7 16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. 17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. Matthew 7 24 ¶ Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. 28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
Thank you for sharing your experience with us Elder Sanchez! I loved hearing about your experience and your a powerful witness of the love and care of our Heavenly Father has for each of us. You radiate God’s light and goodness in your countenance. I knew that you were healed completely by looking at the vitality and health that also shows in your countenance. Your healing is a huge miracle and blessing! I am sure that your testimony and witness of the truthfulness that God lives and of the Gospel is touching lives and doing much good in the San Antonio area. Thank you again, for sharing your testimony with us. Wishing you more wonderful experiences months as you serve the next few months on your mission

You are an instrument in God’s hands thank you for sharing your faith and experience with us. It’s a real testimony builder and a validation of the after life! I am so glad you were healed! Faith proceeds the Miracle
What an amazing experience, and because of it you were meant to be born in these last days to continue in Heavenly father's work on earth...your testimony is so powerful and uplifting to those of us who have lost our faith...thankyou for sharing your story.
Satan knew you were chosen for a mission thats why you fell off horses but Heavenly Father was more powerful and rescued you that confirms Joseph Smiths testimony that Heavenly Father and Jesus are 2 seperate people i believe your story i had a vision thank you thats why your story braught tears to my eyes
John 1:14 "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth". (John 1:1) "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God". 1 Timothy 3:16 "God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory". in his general epistle, the apostle John stated: "We announce to you what was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we beheld, and what our hands touched, as regards the Word of Life. And the Life was revealed, and we have seen, and we bear witness, and we announce to you the everlasting Life which was with the Father, and was revealed to us" (1 John 1:1-2) While still in the human flesh Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life" (John 11:25). He also said that He was the "I AM" of the Bible (John 8:57-58; Exodus 3:14-15). Hebrews 1:8-9 refers to both Jesus and the Father as God. Matthew wrote before His birth that Jesus would be called "God with us" (Matthew 1:23). Clearly Jesus was divine, God in the flesh. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:12) Salvation cannot come through works, it is by grace we are saved lest any man should boast. It is ONLY by accepting Jesus Christ and His perfect work at the cross. He died for all that all may live! Salvation comes through the broken body and the blood of Jesus. I pray these words of life open your hearts to The Light! ❤
Totally irresponsible and against all proper use of dangerous chemicals by teenagers. Imagine putting at risk the well being of young people just to spray dangerous chemicals that also other people are going to eat! I hope those awful practices end!
There is a great article by President Dallin H. Oaks titled “Miracles” that was published in the June 2001 Ensign: “As I said earlier, the Lord works miracles in response to the faith of His children. No denomination-not even the restored Church-has a monopoly on the blessings of the Lord. He loves and blesses all of His children.” In His sermon on the Mount, the Savior asked us which of us having a child who asks bread would not give it to him, but instead give him a stone? If he asked for fish, would we give him a serpent? If we give these things to our children, so too will our Heavenly Father give good things to those who ask Him. Matthew 7 7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
@@stardustgirl2904 one my friends in the lds church has had 2. And another one of my friends more than 10 times he has a bad heart and pacemaker just barely keeping him alive
I'm not sure that is true. I've had an NDE and my family members who are active in the church don't want to hear about it and act like I'm off my rocker.
It's nice if these people want to believe this stuff because they need this to justify who they are, thankfully I have no need for it which is very freeing.
Have you not observed families. Many of them have someone who goes off the deep end. Satan is no different. He was once a great person and then completely lost his mind.
You are an instrument in God’s hands thank you for sharing your faith and experience with us. It’s a real testimony builder and a validation of the after life! I am so glad you were healed! Faith proceeds the Miracle
Are their visions, healings, and other spiritual gifts in the church today? Yes! Believe President Henry B. Eyring!
Expectations: Today's Youth Will Rise To Them
"Elder Eyring quoted Joel 2:27-32: 'And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed. And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions . . . and It shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered. . . .'
"Then Elder Eyring explained, 'The scripture does not say that your sons and your daughters may claim the gift of prophecy by the Spirit. It says that they will. It doesn't say that your young men may see visions. It says that they will. And it will come because the Lord will pour out His Spirit upon all flesh. Not only will the youth you love and serve have the Spirit poured out on them, but so will the people around them and those who lead them.'
"But, he added, the Spirit will also wash over some and fail to make a difference. Choices, he explained, must be made in faith to receive spiritual power."
President Henry B. Eyring, quoted by the Church News

@DanielSharonTveten As I have served in the Temple, this has become more evident for me in my personal life. I'm so grateful for my spiritual gifts they have enhanced my testimony and brought me closer to Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world .🌎
My mother had a similar experience. When she was 15 they called the priest in for last rights. Before he got there 3 women angels stood before her bed and told her that she was not going to die, that she had important work left to do in her life. She fully recovered after that. She had a hard life with many struggles, but finally 40 years later she joined the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and did so much genealogy work for her ancestors.
Before his mission, my son fell over 60 feet from the top of a tree. In the emergency room a portion of his life path opened up to me in a brief vision as I gave him a blessing that caused me to tell him that he still had much the Lord wanted him to accomplish in life and that his body would heal. He heard and retained that promise in his memory and he became a different person after that. He's done much to bless the Spanish community since that time and is currently raising 2 boys with a Columbian wife.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Elder Sanchez, I was baptised in 1953 at age 25. The experiences I had then and since couldn't be bought with the world on a silver platter. I look forward to meeting, again, those who helped convert me. Yep, I'm 96 now. It made for a wonderful life.
Elder Sanchez you are a handsome young man who has truly been blessed by our loving Heavenly Father. Your testimony is wonderful.
I know Elder Sánchez! He’s from my Spanish ward in Idaho. He is a great guy!
WOW!! Thank you for sharing your story … and bless you for serving!!
Beautiful testimony! Muchisimas gracias, Elder Sanchez!!!!
Amen.Thank you for the great testimony.Our Heavenly Father lives.We thank Him for the gift of Jesus Christ.
Thanks for sharing!
The afterlife is more real than this one! Thank you Elder Sanchez!
Your words really hit home for me. I had an experience, and it felt more real than real life, and I have been confused about that for some time.
Thank you for this answer.
Incredible testimony! What an absolute sweetheart.
Very powerful testimony, thank you Elder Sanchez
Beautiful experience!!!
Thank you for serving; always remember and share your experience.😊
Thank you for your testimony.
I knew it! I know that our youth are having these wonderful experiences!! Thank you for sharing
If you liked this, then you'll love another video that I was considering whether or not to post:) And yes, the youth certainly do have these experiences. And the adults, also!
Here is a selection of some teachings of President Eyring regarding the youth seeking and receiving spiritual gifts. It's from the article in the Church News titled "Expectations: Today's Youth Will Rise to Them":
Elder Eyring quoted Joel 2:27-32: "And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed. And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions . . . and It shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered. . . ."
Then Elder Eyring explained, "The scripture does not say that your sons and your daughters may claim the gift of prophecy by the Spirit. It says that they will. It doesn't say that your young men may see visions. It says that they will. And it will come because the Lord will pour out His Spirit upon all flesh. Not only will the youth you love and serve have the Spirit poured out on them, but so will the people around them and those who lead them."
But, he added, the Spirit will also wash over some and fail to make a difference. Choices, he explained, must be made in faith to receive spiritual power.
"That is how we can and must make a difference," Elder Eyring said. "You know the choices they must make that matter most. So you can make it far more likely that they will choose what will let them claim a constant companionship of the Spirit. That is what they can have. That is what they must have."
It all begins with expectations, he said. "If you expect little, they will feel your lack of faith in them and in the Lord's promised outpouring of the Spirit. . . . Your choices of what you expect will have powerful effect on their choices of what to expect of themselves."
Elder Eyring listed four choices Latter-day Saint young people will make that "you can make a difference by the expectations you raise in them."
Also, this video of my wife sharing some of her conversion experiences is very powerful:

What a great story and powerful testimony! Thanks for sharing it.
WHY DO LDS REJECT ETERNAL GOD OF BIBLE & BELIEVE IN FALSE EVOLVING GODS OF Joseph Smith?
ISN'T YOUR ETERNITY WORTH EXAMINING THE TRUTH?
"Before me NO god was formed, nor shall there be ANY after me.” (Isaiah 43:10) If Mormonism is true, then God could not make this claim, for he was just a man at one point; nor could he claim that no gods would come after him, for that is the goal of LDS members. Isaiah 44:6 says, "I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God." and it goes on "Is there any God besides me?... I know not one" So obviously God is saying there is NOT any infinite amount of Gods, and there is none other like Him. Mormonism teaches that there is.
LDS paid scholar Dan McClellan: " The data pretty firmly points in the OPPOSITE direction of a historical BOM" youtube short video "Is the BOM historical?"
There is NO archaeological, anthropological, topological, linguistic, botanical or dna evidence to support the Book of Mormon. LDS anthropologist Dee Green: “The first myth we need to eliminate is that BOM archaeology exists” conceding 20 years of research “left us empty-handed” (Green 1969 p. 77)
NO trace of Jewish DNA found in any Indian burial ground anywhere in the Americas from time period of BOM. Thomas W. Murphy, (Mormon scholar, DNA researcher): “the genetic evidence shows that American Indians are not Hebrews, they are not Israelites. The Book of Mormon is not true.” John Whitmer Historical Association Journal 2005
NO truth: Book of Abraham published with 3 drawings taken from an ancient Egyptian papyrus. The book is a funerary papyrus showing scenes from the Egyptian Book of the Dead. In drawings Nos. 1 & 3, Smith misidentifies everything depicted. "LDS and non-LDS Egyptologists agree that the characters on the fragments do not match the translation given in the book of Abraham" Quote from LDS OFFICIAL WEB PAGE
NO trace of “2 million Jaredites slain” (Ether 15:2), with iron, brass, breast-plates, shields, and armor. It is impossible for these millions of dead warriors in metal armor to leave no trace.
NO trace of the "great" city Zarahemla- it is impossible for a city the size of Zarahemla described in BOM (Alma 5:2; D&C 125:3) to leave no trace.
NO temple like Solomon's described in 2 Nephi 5:16 has ever been found yet biblical temple is easily seen in Jerusalem. This "temple" could not just disappear.
NO Nephite "reformed Egyptian" writings described by J.S. ever found anywhere as it is not a real language anywhere in the world.
NO cities mentioned in the BOM have ever been located (none of 38) ANYWHERE. It would be impossible for them to disappear unless they never existed.
NO evidence: "The whole land was covered with buildings, and the people were as numerous, as it were the sand of the sea." Yet NOT ONE ever located. (Mormon 1:7) IMPOSSIBLE for highly advanced civilizations (Jaredites, Nephites) & MILLIONS of people to have vanished.
The BOM speaks of sheep, swine, silk, wool clothing & elephants existing in the Americas when they did not. 1 Ne.13:7; Alma 4:6; Ether 9:17 and 10:24 These were brought to America centuries later by Europeans.
NO wheat, no goats, no metal smelting furnaces, no metal armor, no steel swords, no cattle, no chariot parts, no brass (Mosiah 8:10) no evidence of the listed Kings in BOM, no Jewish relics or Jewish Temples from supposed Jews, no metal plates like Nephites supposedly used, no middle eastern seeds growing, "which were brought from the land of Jerusalem ... and grew exceedingly" 1 Nephi 18:24
CAN WE IGNORE THE LACK OF EVIDENCE FOR THE THE BOOK OF MORMON AND JUST TRUST OUR FEELINGS AS TO THE TRUTH OF IT EVEN THOUGH IT CONFLICTS WITH THE BIBLE? NO!
D&C Section 9:8-9 - tell us that if something is true it will make our "bosom burn" and we will FEEL that it is right. Maroni 10:4 says: "he will manifest the truth of it unto you"
The Bible warns us against this subjective type of truth test. Why? Because we have a sinful nature that can be deceived. Proverbs 28:26 "He that trusts in his own (bosom) heart is a FOOL."
The Scriptures, however, are infallible and can never be wrong (John 17:17; Psalm 119:128; 33:4; 19:8; Romans 3:4).
This is why the Bible frequently urges us to study and meditate on God's word. 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV "STUDY ... rightly dividing the word of TRUTH." Acts 17:11 "EXAMINE THE SCRIPTURES to see if what said is TRUE". 1John 4:1 says: "BELIEVE NOT EVERY SPIRIT, ... because MANY FALSE PROPHETS (J.S.) have gone out into the world."
Mormonism CLAIMS the bible was corrupted to justify Joseph Smith's changing of the biblical, eternal God into an evolving, created god, who is not all powerful and is one of an endless number of gods . However, this is a PROVABLY FALSE claim.
The Claim: In the BOM, the prophet Nephi has a vision the Bible was CORRUPTED and "plain and precious parts" were removed after the 12 apostles and after the formation of the “great and ABOMINABLE church” (1 Nephi 13:26-29). Most Mormons believe this is the Catholic Church formed in the 4th century. Nephi claims this church was founded by the DEVIL (1 Nephi 14:3). So let’s objectively examine the Bible & BOM.
BIBLE: The Dead Sea Scrolls have been dated to as early as 350 BC. One is the Great Isaiah Scroll, which is the oldest known copy of the Book of Isaiah dated to 180 BC.
Do ANY ancient scrolls show Smith's "uncorrupted" version of scripture? NO! Yet they would if the scripture was later corrupted after the 12 apostles died as Smith and Nephi said.
Also, if they had been corrupted, Jesus would have corrected scripture instead of affirming it! Jesus sd:“ I told you EVERYTHING written about me in the Law of Moses, the Books of the Prophets, and in the Psalms had to happen.” (Luke 24:44-46)
Scripture is the same today as it was 2,100+ years ago with only minor spelling and punctuation differences. Joseph Smith was wrong. These scrolls pre-dated Catholics, and are Jewish scrolls and the BOM says the Jews had the Scriptures in their "purity". 1Nephi 13:25
LDS Apologist Wayne Ham admitted the Isaiah scroll does not support the the BOM. Apologist Dr. Sidney B. Sperry, of BYU, said the Dead Sea Scrolls do not help the case for the BOM. BYU Professor Joseph F. McConkie: "Rather than Joseph Smith as Found in Ancient Manuscripts, it ought be Joseph Smith as Lost in Ancient Manuscripts.” (Religious Studies Center, 1984)
IS THE GOD OF THE BOOK OF MORMON THE SAME ONE AS IN THE BIBLE? NO! In the LDS Church’s 147th Conf., Gen Authority Bernard P. Brockbank said: the Christ followed by Mormons is NOT THE CHRIST followed by traditional Christianity. (Ensign, May 1977 p. 26)
Like Joseph Smith, the goal of Satan was to be like God and have worshipers. "I will exalt my throne above the stars of God ... I will be like the Most High”’ (Isaiah 14:12-14)
The new testament has not been corrupted either. See the book of John. Smith changed it to make Jesus a created being. Research a 1900 year old papyri known as the Bodmer Papyri of the book of John. (written 150 AD, around the Apostle John's time)
John 1:1 "In the BEGINNING was the WORD and the WORD was WITH God and the WORD WAS God." ΕΝ ΑΡΧΗ ΗΝ Ο ΛΟΓΟΣ ΚΑΙ Ο ΛΟΓΟΣ ΗΝ ΠΡΟΣ ΤΟΝ ΘΕΟΝ ΚΑΙ ΘΕΟΣ ΗΝ Ο ΛΟΓΟΣ (look up this ancient Greek yourself on google)
John 1:1 Joseph Smith mistranslation: "In the beginning was the GOSPEL preached through the Son. And the GOSPEL was the word, and the word was with the Son, and the Son was with God, and the Son was of God." Smith's Jesus is no longer God in the flesh but the biblical Jesus is: "God was manifest in the flesh" 1Tim. 3:16 KJV. In order to try to make things work for LDS, J.S. added extra verses and verbiage into John 1 that were never there in any ancient texts to try to separate the idea of a trinity into 3 Gods.
There are 4,000 Greek manuscripts of the New Testament. Some go back to 350 AD and NONE support Joseph Smith's claims that the bible of today has been corrupted.
Papyrus fragments exist of the New Testament dated to 175 AD and show that the new testament has NOT been "corrupted". (New Testament Docs: Are They Reliable? Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1967 pp. 15-17)
The manuscript and archeological evidence for the BIBLE is the GREATEST in antiquity. I pray you know the true Jesus and not Joseph Smith's exalted man from another planet who is not eternal, not all powerful, not perfect but evolving, and was polygamous.
God is much greater than the humanoid of Mormonism and NOT just ONE OF AN ENDLESS NUMBER OF EVOLVING GODS.
Jesus said ALL scripture will NOT fade away but "many wolves in sheep's clothing" will come trying to add to the word. Mathew 7:15 Joseph Smith changed Jesus, the Father and taught you can become a GOD.
It hurts my heart to see Mormons fall for the lie that we can become God when there is only one eternal God found in the bible.
"The only men who become Gods, even the sons of Gods are those that enter into polygamy." (Brigham Young) Journal of Discourses 11 p.269
Apostle Orson Pratt, in The Seer, page 172, “the great Messiah who was the founder of the Christian religion was a Polygamist…The son followed the example of his Father"
God gave us critical thinking & logical reasoning for a reason, which is why he does tell us to EXAMINE and TEST what we are being taught for TRUTH. The bible withstands the truth test. Joseph Smith's version fails the truth test. It's your eternity, study it for yourself. God bless.
God bless you. I’m so happy you got to experience Jesus. Thank you for spreading the Word of God.
Thank you for sharing your true and powerful testimony!
Thank you for sharing your testimony. I am so grateful you came back and that your life’s mission is unfolding. May God continue to bless you in all things.
Obedience brings blessings! 👍🙏🙏🙏❤😊
D&C 130
20 There is a law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before the foundations of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated-
21 And when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated.
John 7
16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
Matthew 7
24 ¶ Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
I had a similar powerful experience at 16. it has been the foundation and the strength of my whole life. You are blessed
Thank you for sharing your experience with us Elder Sanchez! I loved hearing about your experience and your a powerful witness of the love and care of our Heavenly Father has for each of us. You radiate God’s light and goodness in your countenance. I knew that you were healed completely by looking at the vitality and health that also shows in your countenance. Your healing is a huge miracle and blessing! I am sure that your testimony and witness of the truthfulness that God lives and of the Gospel is touching lives and doing much good in the San Antonio area. Thank you again, for sharing your testimony with us. Wishing you more wonderful experiences months as you serve the next few months on your mission
What a great story! We’re thankful that you’re serving in San Antonio, Elder Sánchez. I hope you get to serve in the San Antonio 9th Ward!
Bless you and your family!
What an amazing experience. Thank God for hi mercy.❤
That is one powerful story, Elder Sanchez. Thank you so much for sharing it! It was all so intersting and faith-promoting.
Elder, thank you for sharing your story with us! I appreciate your testimony -it strengthens me as well ❤.
So awesome elder sanchez. Loved your story how blessed you are thank you for sharing

You are an instrument in God’s hands thank you for sharing your faith and experience with us. It’s a real testimony builder and a validation of the after life! I am so glad you were healed!
Faith proceeds the Miracle
What a great testimony
I like you kid,,,,I pray you have a blessed life in the hear of christ, God bless❤
Thank you for sharing your testimony Elder Sanchez. And thanks to the folks who have made it available to the rest of the world.
What an amazing experience, and because of it you were meant to be born in these last days to continue in Heavenly father's work on earth...your testimony is so powerful and uplifting to those of us who have lost our faith...thankyou for sharing your story.
Hello Elder Sanchez! What a surprise to find you here.
As a beliver you can't help but think of the after life and what it's like to be reunited with your Heavenly Father! We all lived with him
Thank you, sir.
Love this. ❤
Love your smile Elder. Bless you
I love this.
That moment I truly knew for my self spirit is eternal. I had near death experienced May 1991.
@knotskieskyramirez9491 you might like a RUclips channel called Heaven Awaits. It is about near death experiences.
That channel is amazing, heaven awaits and heaven encounters by Randy Kay
Love him!!
Satan knew you were chosen for a mission thats why you fell off horses but Heavenly Father was more powerful and rescued you that confirms Joseph Smiths testimony that Heavenly Father and Jesus are 2 seperate people i believe your story i had a vision thank you thats why your story braught tears to my eyes
❤️❤️🙏🏻☀️
Blood condition sounds like methemaglobinemia. This can be triggered in certain genetically susceptible people by certain chemicals and foods.
I know that guy
I died from a cardiac arrest and didn't see a light, my grandma, Jesus, Heaven, my dog or hear anything for two weeks.
John 1:14
"The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth". (John 1:1)
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God".
1 Timothy 3:16
"God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory".
in his general epistle, the apostle John stated: "We announce to you what was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we beheld, and what our hands touched, as regards the Word of Life. And the Life was revealed, and we have seen, and we bear witness, and we announce to you the everlasting Life which was with the Father, and was revealed to us" (1 John 1:1-2)
While still in the human flesh Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life" (John 11:25). He also said that He was the "I AM" of the Bible (John 8:57-58; Exodus 3:14-15). Hebrews 1:8-9 refers to both Jesus and the Father as God. Matthew wrote before His birth that Jesus would be called "God with us" (Matthew 1:23). Clearly Jesus was divine, God in the flesh.
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
(Acts 4:12)
Salvation cannot come through works, it is by grace we are saved lest any man should boast.
It is ONLY by accepting Jesus Christ and His perfect work at the cross. He died for all that all may live! Salvation comes through the broken body and the blood of Jesus.
I pray these words of life open your hearts to The Light! ❤
Totally irresponsible and against all proper use of dangerous chemicals by teenagers. Imagine putting at risk the well being of young people just to spray dangerous chemicals that also other people are going to eat! I hope those awful practices end!
Came here to say the exact same thing. Exactly what food products were they spraying with this poison??
Wow
Kinda wish people would hold these experiences to a more sacred level. You tube does not seem an appropriate place to share such sacred things.
1st time to hear he met 2 persons when in fact just 1 as other testimonies from each of them met just one
I am guessing that those two people were relatives of his, doing the Lord's work.
Non members have "near death' experiences' too.
How does Heavenly Father rescue them?
I have listened to NDE before and they never really aline with the gospel at all!
They usually see have sifi elements in them!
There is a great article by President Dallin H. Oaks titled “Miracles” that was published in the June 2001 Ensign:
“As I said earlier, the Lord works miracles in response to the faith of His children. No denomination-not even the restored Church-has a monopoly on the blessings of the Lord. He loves and blesses all of His children.”
In His sermon on the Mount, the Savior asked us which of us having a child who asks bread would not give it to him, but instead give him a stone? If he asked for fish, would we give him a serpent? If we give these things to our children, so too will our Heavenly Father give good things to those who ask Him.
Matthew 7
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Mormons love NDEs
I have never seen NDE from a member of the the church! It's always been other churches I have seen!
@@stardustgirl2904 one my friends in the lds church has had 2. And another one of my friends more than 10 times he has a bad heart and pacemaker just barely keeping him alive
I'm not sure that is true. I've had an NDE and my family members who are active in the church don't want to hear about it and act like I'm off my rocker.
@@stardustgirl2904 Ralph Jensen had one and he’s a member of
And Scott Drummond
It's nice if these people want to believe this stuff because they need this to justify who they are, thankfully I have no need for it which is very freeing.
Ha ha! You need to try harder.
Why watch? Why tear down?
Is that really freeing?
Whatever
Use this as the thumbs down to NDE button.
The LDS Church is all about $$$.
How can you say JESUS is the brother of Satan Time to leave this foolishness
Who created Satan? How does he even exists?
Have you not observed families. Many of them have someone who goes off the deep end. Satan is no different. He was once a great person and then completely lost his mind.
You are an instrument in God’s hands thank you for sharing your faith and experience with us. It’s a real testimony builder and a validation of the after life! I am so glad you were healed!
Faith proceeds the Miracle
