Hello Saints! My name is Jeff McCullough and I'm a Christian Pastor.
This channel is devoted to fighting criticism with curiosity as I invite dialogue between mainstream Christians and Latter-day Saints. Are Mormons Christians? What do Evangelicals and Latter-day Saints agree and disagree about? Join me as I compare and contrast the lifestyle, culture and beliefs of Mormons and non-LDS Christians.
If you enjoyed this video, you might enjoy the video I made exploring the birthplace of the LDS church in New York: • Pastor REACTS to Birth...
#LatterDaySaints #Utah #mormonism - Розваги
One of the funnest videos yet! If David and I do this again, what sites should we see?
How about archiological sites showing the dwellings of the Nephites or Jebusites?
Now, I would definitely be interested in seeing those.
I highly recommend visiting Thanksgiving Point, it has a ton of cool statues of Christ and his ministry.
I would say maybe hike ensign peak. Also a more in depth thing about temple square and also talking about the renovation. Maybe an in depth exploration and analysis of each building and it’s significance
Actually, "This Is the Place" Monument is NOT on the site where Brigham Young said the words. THAT is at Big Mountain.
The Glasgow ward of church in Scotland to meet your doppelgänger wish I knew how to send you pic of him xxx blessing pastor Jeff
Too bad you guys didnt make it to welfare square. Its impressive! The way the Church Welfare program blesses the world is beyond impressive. An interesting point is the mechanical plumbing of the factory. The church wanted it to be constructed in the best way possible. Therefore, they called upon those of the Jewish Faith to come and create the process, thereby using "The Kosher Process" throughout the building. Not only done right and beautifully, but it also meets the standard that if any in the Jewish Faith need assistance, we can provide that aid!
That would need One video only to show all the welfare program
@@charlesmendeley9823 You sure are adept at spending other peoples money. Especially the Lords money. Do you hold yourself to the same standard?
@@charlesmendeley9823spiritual discernment, lol. I'd like to see what the mutual funds in your 401k are going towards and see how much spiritual discernment you have.
I really agree, not to visit the welfare Square.
The Mormon church does less charity than Walmart a for profit business!
Ah man! What about the Church History museum? The Church History Library? The Church Office building? The Joseph Smith Memorial building? The upper levels of the Conference Center? So much more to see Jeff! Hit me up, I’ve got connections. Let’s film part 2. 😉
Yeah, those would be great.
Agree, he missed so much…why go to the weird sculpture garden?
Agreed. Missed opportunity hehe
THIS
The church history museum would have been a much better/more interesting place
Sculpture garden: I lived in Utah for over a decade and never heard of that place. Will vouch for it being weird! 😂😂😂
This was incredible! The level of respect on both sides is just something we don’t see these days. Loved this video!
To venerate fiction to Gospel is blasphemy.
I've been an active member of the LDS Church since I was 8. I'm 39 now. I've never heard of or seen the Joseph Smith Sphinx 😂. It'll definitely be on my bucket list next time we go to SLC. Thank you both for sharing your fun/weird day with us.

lol me to! Never heard of gilgal garden
I had no idea the sphynx existed!! Wild 😂 I've been a member my whole life, lived in UT since age 11, and have never even heard of it.
Should have taken him to the welfare square it is remarkable , beyond explanation. It has been a blessing to millions all over the world no matter race or religion. Great video, learned a few thing’s my self.
I’ve been a member of the LDS church my whole life and I did not know the Joseph Smith sphinx even existed!! 🤯

@@JozeemossYour authority over scripture is fiction, you don’t accept anything that challenges your tradition.
@@boltrooktwo Born and raised in the church. Read the Book of Mormon through plenty, graduated from seminary, even got a mission call. Didn't go because I didnt then and still don't believe in putting works before faith. The doctrine that I would be preaching was not logical or tangible. Faith is logical, faith is tangible in the natural world, as well as the giving you a confirmation through the spirit. The only witness that is preached from the LDS church is the spiritual while leaving the other two of the three witnesses of our LORD out. Faith/Gospel is Logical, Tangible & Spiritual.
Jeremiah 17:
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
@@Jozeemoss Isn’t it logical that God would be the being that promoted the most good works? Would faith in the maximally great God call for the most virtue ethics? Where does Jesus Christ tell anyone to avoid those that call them to good works or ordinances? Didn’t the apostles in the book of Acts perform good works, have witnessed callings, perform ordinances like laying on hands to grant the Holy Ghost, and receive continuing revelation even after Jesus had left bodily from the Earth?
Mainstream Christianity cuts out much of what it means to be a disciple of Christ as given in the New Testament church. The disciple Stephen followed and was called by apostles and was rejected by the self-righteous religious leaders for declaring he saw “and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, 56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.” Stephen is a full example of a disciple of Christ and was persecuted for exactly what mainstream Christians persecute the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for today.
@@boltrooktwo
Ephesians 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Works don't matter unless you have saving faith. Saving faith produces works. The order matters.
Matthew 22:
37 Jesus said to him, thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
God makes the Gospel simple for our protection. Things that are different are not the same. True Christianity bares all three witnesses of God (1Father, logos, logic, mind, reasonable) (2Jesus, body, archaeology, heart, tangible) (3Holy Ghost, feeling, soul, spiritual) The truth shall set you free but leaving the Pharaoh is hard since the first step is always the desert.
Find God and faith with the triad that is reflected in all of us (body, mind, soul) (tangible, logical, spiritual)
John 8:32
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Fun video! I keep waiting for Pastor Jeff's trip through the Humanitarian Center & Welfare Square. It's where the rubber hits the road! And in a couple more years, a tour of the International Art Competition at the Church History Museum -- amazing artwork from members worldwide. (And yes, members think Gilgal Sculpture Garden is weird. I haven't been in a long time. Many don't even know it's there.)
I will remember this! One day i hope to get there 🤍
@HelloSaints, You may also be interested in the fact that Utah has many similarities to the nation of Israel. We have a dead sea in the Great Salt Lake, a Sea of Galilee in Utah Lake, a Jordan River that connects the two larger bodies of water, and the only other place other than Israel that has a mountain range that runs east and west rather than north and south. Utah means the "Top of the Mountains" in the Ute native language as referenced in Isaiah.
That sphynx is laugh-out-loud funny. And weird.
Very weird. Never heard of it. Crazy, really.
I have been a member of the Church my whole life, love Utah History, have spent a considerable amount of time exploring Salt Lake and have never been to Gilgal Park and agree, that JS Egyptian sculpture is weird.... thanks for sharing @saintsunscripted!
To venerate fiction to Gospel is blasphemy.
I’ve been born and raised in this church for 77 years and this Joseph Smith Sphinx is new to me and just plain a bunch of nonsense. I’ve never seen it, nor heard of it and quite frankly I think it is a bad idea. Glad it’s not been publicized a great deal.
Honesty its just an art installment rather than of any church meaning. The man who created it loved making sculptures out of stone and was inspired by scriptures, that's all it is. If people understood that he was an early version of abstract art installations that you see in modern museums, it would feel more at place rather than weird.
I’ve lived in the Salt Lake valley nearly my entire life, I’ve never heard of Gilgan sculpture garden, nor have I seen that bizarre Sphinx thing!
It would’ve been nice to see you tour welfare square, the family history library and perhaps a museum or two.

No one is "venerating" that sculpture, it's not even official Church's art. It's just a personal interpretation (by a church member) of our belief that Joseph Smith was a direct descendant of the Joseph in the Bible, the son of Jacob, the one who was sold into slavery by his brothers and end up vice Pharos of Egypt.

Did you know that through the Rosetta Stone archaeological find Egyptologists
can now read ancient Egyptian. I pray thee please compare Joseph Smith's translation of the Book of Abraham to what modern scholars affiliated with the church and otherwise say. Put your prophet to the test of Deuteronomy 18:22 and be afraid of him no more if what he spoke did not come to pass.
literally was laughing at their reaction when they were at the sculpture garden 😂😂😂
You should go come and see The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square! They have rehearsals every Thursday nights and a broadcast every Sunday for Music & the Spoken Word that are open to the public. Its amazing to watch live! They also have different concerts throughout the year. I believe they recently just got off tour from Mexico City. They seriously bless the lives of others through song.

I had no idea the sphinx existed. I was as surprised as you guys were. Keep up with the videos, Pastor!
Same. Was kinda weirded/creeped out by it.
I loved it. What a fun video. Those are all awesome and meaningful places to me too...except Gilgal Sculpture Garden, which is truly bizarre and just interesting. Thanks!
To venerate fiction to Gospel is blasphemy.
Great video! Thank you for sharing and what a great rapport between you and David.
I enjoyed this as much as I hope you enjoyed bringing it to us! Most of those places, I've never seen before and some I never knew they existed! So thank you. I'd love to have heard your conversations when not filming! Anyway, thank you for sharing the history of the Church and your willingness to laugh with us not at us or our beliefs!
To venerate fiction to Gospel is blasphemy.
I've never been our heard of the sphinx. I thought they were at a golf course! Lol
Wow! Where are all the people? I have not seen the Temple Square area, so vacant before. 😮 Very interesting, and next time I visit SLC, I definitly will check out that sphinx. The tabernacle is incredible. I once heard the Tabernacle Choir practice the Hallelujah Chorus in there. That was so amazing. The entire tabernacle seemed to literally vibrate with their voices and the organ!❤

I love your content and way of discussing Thank you!
It is fun to see you two together being friends. Keep checking us out Jeff.
I've been a member my whole life and I didn't know the Joseph Smith sphinx was a thing. That's weird. Good video. Looks like you had the right person for a tour.
If you wish, the Salt Lake City Temple will be reopening after a remodel sometime 2024, or about then, and you can just watch for when it reopens. Usually it will be an Open House for all to see for a little bit before the rededicaton of the Temple.
The latest news from church HQ is that they won't be done until sometime in 2026. :(
Good, but too short and too many film cuts. I hope you do another, longer video in Utah talking more about LDS Church history and places. This just whetted my appetite for more. I have great respect for Mormons and appreciate your truly loving, Christian attitude, Jeff (and I am not even a member of their Church). I like David's friendly demeanour. No wonder his channel is successful. New subscriber here. God bless you both. Matt. 6.33
Thank you for this. ♥️
Wellllllp, im glad to be today years old knowing this because its going on the bucket list now!!
Welfare square is a must!
Amazing! Thank you guys for all you do.

Culturally speaking, a lot LDS people that have never lived in utah just don’t get it. As a midwesterner, association with these things just hits differently.
Enjoyed this tour of Salt Lake City just wish you would have shared more. Thank you Pastor Jeff.

Salt Lake is so clean can we all take a moment to appreciate the council workers keeping it clean and tidy
except for the southwest area around 4th West down to 11th South. Salt Lake politicians are really failing over there, and they know it. It's slowly spreading. Makes me really sad.
@@DannyAGray I hope it gets sorted
You really need to go to the church history museum in SLC. You guys were so so close to it it's not far from temple square. The museum is amaaaaaazing for LDS history
That statue of the sphinx is kinda scary haha!
It was fun to see your reaction to the various places here in Utah. I was surprised to see the setup when you visited the tabernacle. Many people don't know this the the Later-day Saints have a Bell Choir that is part of the Tabernacle Choir organization. When you visited all the tables that had the blue mats on them were for the Bells at Temple Square. I hope you stuck around and listened to some of our rehearsal.

You should visit other significant LDS history places in Utah, like Logan and Cache Valley, Ogden, Manti, St. George, the Copper Mine, Promontory Point etc.

Dude! I've never been inside the Tabernacle. One day I want to get in haha
I can confirm the Joseph Smith Sphinx is absolutely weird (from a Latter-day Saint), lol.
Nevertheless, its weirdness does not compare to the absolute abomination of JS's fake ungodly religion (cult) he invented.
I had never heard about arsenal mount. Nothing like 500lbs of TNT to ruin a good nap.
I also was going to suggest taking a short free tour of the Church Humanitarian Center, Wefare Square and the Church History Museum and the Genealogy Library. The latter 2 are on the West Side of Temple Square.
I went on a Kindergarten field trip there (in 1975) the Elementary school, Webster Elementary, was just across the street from the garden...i was tripping balls at all the weird anomalies of the garden..I went back years later, and was able to enjoy it again as an adult, still very strange, but thankfully it's been well preserved for the world to see.
Best video yet! All because of the JS Sphinx 🤣
Wow! This is the coolest!
I laughed that you went to Gilgal Gardens! A most unusual place for sure!
Been a member all my life, and did not know of it's existence. 😏
So much was missed about the history of the Tabernacle. It is an incredible building. Those marble pillars are not marble. They are hand painted wood. I was quite disappointed that more time was spent on an ugly sphinx that has no historical value than was spent on such an incredible historical building.

To venerate fiction to Gospel is blasphemy.
This was good. I’ve never seen that Sphinx before. Future video: You need to go to a BYU football game and try a cougar tail.
Despite being 50+ years old and a lifelong resident of Utah, I am today years old from knowing that there was a sphinx of Joseph Smith in Salt Lake City. Thanks for the video!

In the 90s, my grandma lived in Provo, and every year we traveled to Utah to visit her. We always took a day to visit Temple Square. It was fun to go inside the Tabernacle, explore the visitors centers, watch the Legacy movie, visit the church history museum, and tour the Beehive House. It definitely helped build my faith and helped me feel a deeper connection to my ancestors. I've never been to Welfare Square or the This Is The Place monument, though.

Having never been to Utah I like seeing the sights sites in SLC. Very beautiful place the valley and the city.
The history museum near Temple Square is super interesting. I have never been to that crazy sculpture garden and have no desire to go. The history museum is amazing.
We used to live in the neighborhood of Gilgal Gardens and I would walk with my toddlers over there to climb on the statues. 🤣
Love it
Lol! I never knew about the Joseph Smith sphinx! Lol!
Every summer when my kids were growing up we’d have a SLC day: Temple Square, the Beehive House, movies at the JS Building and treats from Deseret Book were always in the agenda. This video reminded me that I need to take my grandkids.
Mormonism is a 100% fake manmade fraud. It is the false religion of the enemies of God. Repent!
I hope during your discussion at This Is The Place SP you brought up the unique state holiday on July 24. And I hope when you were at the Beehive House Jeff got to try some horehound candy (do they still sell that?)
I lived in the Salt Lake Valley for 17 years and never knew or even have seen these gardens.
The assembly hall was my mom's stake center back in the 50s
I grew up around Salt Lake City. I had not heard of the explosion before that's great city history for SLC. Also the Gilgal Sculpture Garden is truly eccentric art.
Welfare Square and the church's humanitarian outreach would be a fun video for you to breakdown and explore! You also could have gone inside Heritage Village at This Is The Place - its very fun to see all the old buildings and museums. There is also the Church History Museum in downtown SLC just outside temple square. And a few other small tours and museums.
If you don't mind driving around outside salt lake county there are many heritage sites to visit all over the state. Almost every city has a little museum tying back to pioneer history.
I grew up in Utah until my late twenties as a member of the church and I have never even heard of that Joseph Smith sphynx statue or even the place where it resides. Very weird.
The fraud and con artist JS was a freemason and this ungodly sphynx is just showing what an ungodly fraud he was. The end of all mormons will be the same as all the ungodly Egyptians. The truth is right in front of all your blind eyes.
There is a seed vault but it is not owned or managed by the church, neither is it in Utah. It is on Svalbard Norway. The Granite Mountain Records vault hold historical and church records as well as genealogy records for as much f the world as they can.
You have to do a video where you explore the East and West visitor centers near the temple. If you wanna see old Testament and LDS You have to explore these 2 buildings. And the church history museum.
Have you visited the Humanitarian Center or Welfare Square? Id love to see a video on that….
Woah ..lol never herd the art piece of Joseph Smith as a sphinx. That's interesting and quite hilarious. Maybe when i go to utah we will stop by, i wonder if my husband family knows about this. They live 20 min from SLC
I was baptized in a baptismal font in the Tabernacle back in the 80s before they started putting baptismal fonts in the chapels so the Tabernacle had special significance for me in addition to attending performances/conference etc.

I appreciate your series! I watched your comments when stitching the young evangelical lady and her feelings toward the church. I had no idea feelings could be so negative. I was raised in the Catholic church, 12 years in Catholic school. I was baptized into this church at 39. I never paid the least bit of attention to others' ideas about my beliefs. We are a universal church, studying similar talks by our prophets each week in addition to scripture regardless of the ward we are in. Every four years, we study all scriptures available to us. Last year was the Old Testament. This year, the New Testament. So we do not focus solely on the Book of Mormon. I was disappointed that the young women wasn't able to discover that at the few sacrament meetings she attended. She really would be better served for an in-depth discussion by reaching out to BYU and the gospel scholars there. They are well versed in all available scripture.
What happened to the video? I was going to finish it up today... :(
My wife and I would love to shoot a video with you!
I am Anderson, a Brazilian born and raised in Brazil living in Utah. I was born LDS in Brazil. married to Tiffany also raised in the church and she is from Utah, South Jordan.
We love your videos and they are very beneficial for people to have a better understanding of our religion. Also beneficial to LDS members who still don’t know much!
Thank you

I grew up close to SLC. I have never heard of gilgal gardens!
All the historical sites are important to me. I'm a descendant of the brave pioneers. Two of my ancestors served as bodyguards for the Prophet Joseph. Another one of my ancestors served as a missionary to the Lamanites they called him Peeup. The name that I adopted for my UA-cam Channel.
As I understand it, Gilgal was created by one man who owned an empty plot next to his house. Over time he created some weird stuff to put in the garden and some stuff that's not quite as weird. For years it was not kept up but a group has been cleaning it up and adding some nice features like the trees and walkway from the street. The LDS church had nothing to do with it's creation. I'm surprised David even took you to that weird little spot in Salt Lake City as it's not connected with the Church and their are so many better choices. I see several listed below and I noticed in the video that David drove past some of those. I'm glad you were able to walk around temple square.
This was a fun video
Gilgal garden? Lifelong LDS here, and NEVER heard or seen it and yeah….bizarre!
Jeff, great video. I have followed you for a long time and appreciate what you are doing. I went to Iowa on my mission and I talked to a lot of Ministers. Some were respectful, but the majority were very brash and rude. I appreciate your approach.
I am not sure if you missed it or with the renovation of the temple if they have removed the statues. The are two statues that are very important to me and the membership of the Church as to what they represent. I hope they were there, and you were able to see them. They are statues of Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdry receiving the Aaronic Priesthood from John the Baptist and the other of Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery receiving the Melchizedek Priesthood from Peter, James and John. I would just like to take one of them and ask this simple question. Did Peter, James and John appear to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery and restore the Priesthood? If they did, then we have something that no other Church in the world can proclaim. If they didn't then we have a church with a lot of false beliefs. Christ told his Apostles that the truth would make us free. The Holy Ghost is the bearer of all truth. I have looked at these statues and have asked myself if this really happened. I have approached Heavenly Father in sincere and have asked this question. I have felt the Holy Ghost confirm to me that it is true. I have felt the Priesthood power as I have given Priesthood blessings and I have seen miracles in my life many times. I consider it one of my most precious blessing and treasures in my life.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you showing the respect to these sites... and I hope you had an opportunity to see the Mormon battalion memorial at the capital.
This completely blind, lost, and deceived, fake christian has only showed respect to this Godless false manmade cult because he is totally blind, lost, and deceived, same as all the mormons. Repent!
I love your friendship ♥ All is so beauti... 10:00 HAHA WHAT IS THAT
Family History Museum! Visitors Center!
Were you thinking of Svalbard Global Seed Vault? Perhaps there is a seed vault in Utah was well, I dont know. Seed vaults are interesting! (If you are a little nerdy)
Yall met right by my house!
Have you considered doing a colab with Jeff Geerling? He's pretty close to St. Louis as well
I would recommend the Bingham Copper Mine, that for a long time was the largest open pit mine in the world, and one of only two man made structures visible from space. I also recommend the Cathedral Of The Madeline, a great example of Gothic architecture. The Tabernacle that you visited, in case they didn't tell you, has no nails in it, it is held together by wooden dowels and leather straps.

@@Jozeemoss Not sure as to what you are referring. I mean sure it took a couple hundred years before the man made doctrine of the Trinity reached its current form, after much debate and some brawling, and many changes. And there are still debates as to what it actually means, the language being so vague. But one thing is for certain, the Bible straight contradicts it. And the Trinity was given by the same church that removed the second Commandment, the one forbidding idols, and split the tenth Commandment to hide it.

This was a fun video to watch for my own education. Some interesting places and information.
This is the Place - Brigham Young said "This is the right place, drive on." He had seen it in vision and recognized it. I believe this was said from the wagon when he first viewed the valley. There were some people who felt this wasn't the right place, so Brigham Young sent out scouts to travel quite a distance (hundreds of miles) in each direction so that they could report back that yes, this was where they needed to be.
The Joseph Smith sphinx was... interesting. :D
While I agree that there are better things to see than the sphinx to get a feel for our culture, I'm not bothered; it injects a little fun into the video. And I'm sure he'll do more, so no need to worry about stuff he hasn't visited yet.
Latter Day Saint my whole life… never ever even heard of Gilgath (sp?) gardens or whatever lol. The Josephix was wild
