- This is actual recorded video footage of Jeff Durbin speaking with two Mormon missionaries. Jeff spotted these missionaries riding their bikes across the street while he was with the head of 'The Red Door' abortion ministry (Jamie) outside of an abortion clinic. Jeff called out to the missionaries and they rode their bikes up.
The video footage includes the discussion. This is excellent to share with Mormons and Christians alike.

talking to thse mormons is like clapping with one hand
Are there any promises in the Bible concerning our kids being set apart because of a believing Mother? I'm saved but 1 of my kids aren't? Are there Scriptures I can use to comfort my heart and what should I be doing Scripturally as a parent to unsaved children?
Jeff's purpose doing this is, riches & honor, & trying to prove the TRUE CHURCH, THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS wrong.
Mormon for over 40 yrs. Been on a journey from addiction and not being saved. Looking to the Bible to learn and Jeff you are a big help to me. Thank you I look for all your content to learn.
How are you coming along with your bible reading??? Any questions you may have???
I was a member of a Mormon faction for 40 years, and when Galatians 1:8 was brought to me, it says if I or another angel teaches another gospel let them be accursed. Mormon gospel is clearly and distinctly different from gospel in the Bible. In that moment my mind and heart changed. God bless you in your journey
40 years and you didn't understand our doctrine
“If you believe what you like in the Gospel, and reject what you don't like, it is not the Gospel you believe, but yourself.”
- Augustine
Amen, St. Augustine is one of my favorite saints too, he had sooo much wisdom :)
You reminded me of one other quote of his:
"For my part, I should not believe the gospel except as moved by the authority of the Catholic Church. So when those on whose authority I have consented to believe in the gospel tell me not to believe in Manichæus, how can I but consent?" -Against the Fundamental Epistle of Manichaeus 5,6
Scripture is God-breathe, but who determined what is Scripture? According to Augustine, the pillar and foundation of truth (1 Timothy 3:15) whether by word or epistle (2 Thessalonians 2:15). So I can't pick and choose what the Church teaches either.
"Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude of the people also be; even as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church." -Ignatius of Antioch, Letter to the Smyrnaeans, 8 [~110 AD]
Smith did that whole sale in his satanic evil in nauvoo as well as kirtland ohio and palmyra.
@@eddiejuarez2427 Eddie, you too can be a saint, do you know that?
I've been binge watching these LDS clips - the patience and teaching spirit of Jeff is humbling.
Truthful and precise apologetics and with gentleness and respect. Well done! Such a great example of
how we should go about practically doing apologetics.
How is it respectful to preach to other people and tell them that their religion is wrong? This is completely patronizing.

Hmm. Interesting analogy.
However, let's say he stops by your house and tells you that your heating isn't working properly, you tell him that it's fine because you don't actually have any heating, showing the guy that he was just imagining things.
Feeling rather smug you tell the guy that his car needs a service. This also ends in comedy because he isn't in his car and was walking past, showing that you were both imagining things.
Christians arguing with Mormons ha ha.
The blind directing the blind.
DJ Granville you forgot , " plus a waste of time " .
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast. ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them. under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
Matthew 7:6 -
shawn rue LAME RESPONSE !!! LOL .
Anthony Mays you take some liberties in how you interpret Matthew 7:6 the dogs and swine is clearly a metaphor for people who are actively aggressive, disrespectful and unreceptive. These Mormons displayed respect and receptiveness. It seems to me you just toss that verse out to absolve yourself of any responsibility to spread the gospel.
I came from a cult and a law based mindset of almost 30 years. Trust me when I say it takes nothing short of God to open blinded eyes. I still struggle today accepting the grace of GOD. I still see myself gravitate back to the Old Testament law mindset. I appreciate Jeff’s videos for realigning my vision.
So you are just jumping from one cult to another?
No he or she is is jumping from one opinion or one belief to another and trying to find what's best for them good job!
You have a very good non-confrontational way about you, and at the same time you present your case with knowledge and grace. Well done
No, he does NOT have a good non-confrontational way about him. The man cannot shut up for two minutes to let anybody respond to his questions. I watched him talk to two returned missionaries in Provo, Utah. He went on and on and on and when the two young men tried to respond he ran right over by them. They couldn't get a word in edgewise. Then he told them after he finished what he was talking about he would shut up. He never shut up. He wouldn't and I don't believe he ever intended to shut up. The two returned missionaries listened to him politely and didn't interrupt him at all. But every time they tried, he ran them over. Exasperated with his non stop mouth, they politely told him they had to go and they left. He needs to learn to shut his mouth and let whoever he's talking to respond. He's no better than the rest of the street preachers. The reason he keeps going on and on and on and keeps running over whoever he's talking to and doesn't give them half a chance to respond, he likes to hear the sound of his voice. Over all he's not rude. But when he runs over whoever he's talking to, even after he says he'll shut up after he finished what he's talking about but just keeps going on and on and on is rude, disrespectful, pushy, over bearing. That's not being polite, its just plain rude!! 🤨🤨
@@Annie-ll2jpfirst of all, you’re so wrong. Second of all, boo-hoo. Everything hes saying is absolutely correct and right
Bless those missionaries, they really were listening with sincere hearts💗
I love this guy's approach. Well done. Hard hitting without venom or anger.

I like your questions I wish I could fully answer them for you however I am still studying and learning I hope to learn more as I grow more. Maybe ill come back to this later and answer for you
Your mind is so open you could get lost. I wish you the best @openmind

What a drag! Thanks for bringing this into awareness. I appreciate your effort. Jesus is Lord!
It makes me sad that when I was apart of this church they rarely preached The Holy Bible, it was mostly the B.O.M
There both full of crap
Sadly this is true for many “Christian” churches as well.
Wow that make sense
Barely any holy bible
Bruh and Christianity are only the Bible what you trying to even say
Jeff Durbin does an excellent job of being reasonable, respectful, knowledgeable, and caring. Really like this video. Have seen too many unintelligent people trying to mock the Mormons. This man is genuine.
Genuine in what sense? Didn’t he convert to Christianity because of addictions? I’ve seen Muslims and Scientologists do that too. Are they “Genuine”.
I’m guessing without the resurrection that Christianity is demonstrably false. What good reason do you have to believe the resurrection? Give me your top three reasons.
There have been too many mitigate in my life to not believe in this I love this religion because yes it is confusing at times and I am still trying to understand but this thing is so amazing to me That I can live my life die and live again in eternal happiness and the only cost is a few small rules and there are no rivals along the way to raise your spirits I can live a full happy life and live again! 😁😊 You can have your own opinions if you would like but please don't go telling everyone else they are wrong for believing it I am not going to impose on your beliefs.
Oh and sorry for all the typos 😁😂
@My OpenMind Give me your top 3 reasons Alexander The Great existed
Genuine because he genuinely cares for the salvation of these young men. He is genuine because he is not just debating with them to belittle them. Genuine because he loves these young men with a love that can only come from God.
I WAS a Mormon, and not for long. Every question I had for all my Missionaries, Visiting Teachers and other members were ALWAYS answered with excuses. The more I pryed for the the truth, the more the answers were too hard to answer truthfully. When I defended Paganism, Wicca, Druidism, Witchcraft, etc, I was always told that I was defending the Adversary. The church knew I was living with my fiancè, and they knew I had nowhere else to go, yet they tried their hardest to get me to move out of my home, so I'm following the doctrines rightiously. They knew I had to have caffine for medicinal use (severe migraines), and they tried to get me to quit relying on caffine for my severe migraines I get. They nearly destroyed my relationship with my fiancè because he quit going to church. They judged him, pressed him to go back, and it got to the point my fiancè locked himself in our room to avoid them. My last day as a Mormon was the day I was confirmed after my baptism. I was pushed into being baptised, when I wasn't ready, or wanting to. I didn't want to commit to a religion that was wishy washy, pushy, and nosy. Coming to my home uninvited, or without calling got really annoying. Always in the middle of dinner or during intamacy time. Anyway, I don't agree with the LDS religion, period! I had no desire being a part of the church, but I was pushed too hard and did it.
There are a cult satanic lies are part of the adversary Lucifer Satan has them bring up true beliefs like the Pagan and Wiccan stuff that's actually God compared to them by Christian standards they're just repeating lies from the Satanic lies their pickup from Christians when they themselves are hypocrites and luciferian Antichrist
Manda, im sorry for your experience. Mine was the complete opposite. As a new convert i found the church loving, caring, kind, and extremely helpful. The church has paid my bills, given me food, found me work, and has done so much for me and my family. I studied with the church 5 months before my wife and i were baptized and it has completely changed our lives for the better. Ive been through countless religions and ways of life, but the LDS has been the best one by far.
@@Showgunkhan it's one the worst by far debaptize yourself out. All their niceness is all ploy to capture you into in their darkness wicked jaws don't listen to them they are pure evil and that's all there is to that.

@VK Westie 3021
Viking idiot,
It's not about the truth, it is about who's right and who's wrong. I watch their videos and i know what they're up to. You can't say which of them is telling the truth unless you believe on one side or the other.
I like the tone of the conversation.
Yes without love there is no true gospel witnessing
It's how we ALL should conduct ourselves on both sides
Conversion away from Mormonism but to what?
Christianity is just as batshit crazy as Scientology.
@@myopenmind527 Yeah, it's cuckoo to believe a Creator created the universe... it's way more rational to believe matter formed on its own accord, consciousness in organic lifeforms occured naturally, plankton formed into homo sapiens millions of years in the making, and that you are seeing my message in 2020 in the first place~
@@VanessaHolguin well there are better explanations for the origin of the universe, none of which involve a deity. Truth told you don’t know but your god theory is not something serious academic cosmologists are working on.
If you don’t understand science why not just say it.
We have been able to put in place to early steps of abiogenesis, a process that took close to 500 million years.
As for evolution, there is no hope that you can refuse the overwhelming evidence from multiple independent disciplines of science. Sorry.
But then you were going to show me why there are good reasons to believe in Christianity. Can you prove that the resurrection ever happened?
Great message Jeff! I have ministered to Mormons in the past. It is not what we say but how we say it that makes the difference. When we kick the door down, people will feel violated and become naturally defensive. When we knock gently, they will open the door and invite us in. I am reminded of 2 Tim. 2: 24-26. What a perfect example of that type of outreach. APOLOGIA all the way.
I've seen this, mormons missionaries don't know 95% of biblical scripture and very little about thier own book
The same is true about 95% of Christians. Most don’t know the evolutionary origins of their beliefs and the bible. Most don’t even know what the gospels represent. No wonder so many still believe the lies that they have been told and taught to believe.
Please don't call them lies that is offensive to people who believe it and its hurtful.
Also my cousin is currently serving as a missionary and when I last visited he studied as much as he could my father when he was in the MTC he had to memorize many scriptures I try to memorize and study as well for my own mission soon missionary know the scriptures and bible etc but sometimes it can be hard to find the exact scripture for what that person needs.
I love talking to the Mormon missionaries. Great truth Pastor Jeff! God bless your ministry.
Jeff Durbin is amazing; an amazing man of God. You're doing a great work.
Why is he pushing them from once false religion to another?
@@myopenmind527Jesus ain’t no religion. He is God in the flesh. Many religions have been made ABOUT HIM, however.
Thank you. This was beautiful brother!
I like that reasonable, gentle approach by this pastor. They were listening...
Excellent witness for Christ!
you handled this alot better then the other missionary videos I've seen. thank you for letting answer, instead of cutting of.
wow very calm gentle but also clear.
He can breath fire too :p
+EricSmyth14 there any videos of this? I would like to see that

He said he can breath fire, I haven't seen it though. I imagine against the church of Satan he would.
+EricSmyth14 That would be cool to see.
Calm, gentle, clear and sadly false. Three out of four is pretty good.
I met a new friend who moved into one of my landlords studios. She is a big time Mormon. I invited her over because I want to hear about the Mormons. She said she can’t wait to share with me. I know I will win her soul back to God. Hallelujah! Thank you Jesus! 🙌🏽🥰
Jeff keep planting those seeds of doubt you're doing an awesome job with your videos. Thank you!
He planted the seed, but unfortunately they won't leave the church. Their families will shun them.
Yup. And its up to the lord to save them. 🙏🔥
This guy speaks with real love, in the light of Mormon beliefs that are so opposite to Christian beliefs of Jesus.
+NoSense IsNonSense Yes, he does it with love, patience, and compassion. This is the best way. He's not belittling them, he's lovingly sharing the truth with them. That's all you can do. Yelling at them, dressing up like satan, and burning BOMs in front of them is not going to do it. Just speak the truth in love, and let the Holy Spirit do His work. We are to speak the truth; let God be the one who gives the increase. Just my .02
Good observation
Christian beliefs of Jesus??? Do u not realize how many different teachings and beliefs you'll find behind that broad word "christian" ?? Christian beliefs.. that's a good one ..it would take a lifetime to go over all the different teachings behind that broad statement!!
Maybe so, but there's only one view that's correct.
I agree
I've noticed when you ask missionaries if they believe something in particular, they look at each other like "what does the church missionary handbook say?" It's so obviously something they've been spoonfed their entire lives, they seem to not even understand what they profess to believe.
It's hilarious when they passionately disagree with each other too LOL. I have had it happen a few times. Especially when it comes to the Bible. "So when the Bible says that no man hath seen God, is that correct?" -"YeNOs" LOL. "?!?!!?" "That is a bad translation" says the one. "What?" Says the other. LOL
The deer in the headlights look! It seemed the missionary on the street was stumped. I think he looked to his partner hoping he could provide an answer or help out. He seemed pretty uncomfortable and just wanted to get out of there!
Indoctrination begins at birth.
Tanner White confused me for a second. Brain fart. I thought you meant just missionaries, but you meant Mormon missionaries haha 🤦🏻♀️. Christian missionaries are something completely different hahaha
Isn’t that the same with Jeff and other false religions like Christianity, Judaism and Islam?
EXCELLENT video!!! I have been looking for something like this after having two Mormons visit my house multiple times trying to convince me to "read the BOM and pray about it." This man does a great job at coming off very friendly and kind, but still while speaking truth.
I really do feel terrible for these kids. Felt tears well up my eyes just watching them unable to properly answer plain simple Christian questions.
People please pray for Mormons!!! They're VERY sincere people...but they're sincerely wrong on a lot of Bible teachings.
Amen ! So so sad
We are not so different. We both serve Christ. The way that these missionaries answered will not be the way I will when I go on my mission.
Tosin me too
Have you heard about what happened to Micah Wilder when he went out on his two year mission? He became born again. And of course he was immediately sent home three weeks early, told he was the antichrist, had the spirit of the devil in him and of course excommunicated from LDS.

You have a different Christ.
Jacob Garner Mormons serve a false Christ.
This is how its done... Can't stand the ones who force those to repent. Jeff is the man.. Keep doin it up fam!
Love what you are doing out there brother! Watching your videos has taught me SO much about the word of God but also how to lovingly confront people who misunderstand the word of God. I will continue to pray to you and your family, may the Lord continue to bless your ministry and all that you do!!
Wow that was the most loving, Christlike way to call someone a false prophet, still showing care for them! Keep up the great work!
So inspired by his determination, Love and knowledge he shares with unbelievers. He refutes their theologies in a respectful way. This is how we as Christians should be when we witness to others. God Bless you Jeff Durbin. I'm truly inspired to be a better Christian for God, myself and others!
Beautiful and loving way to go about witnessing to others. Well done! 👍🏻
What most Mormon missionary's neglect to tell most people when they are challenged with scripture from the Bible is that the Mormons only believe that it is true to the extent in which it was translated correctly. That is their excuse to refute a great number of scriptures in the Bible.
What is a good response to that?
@@friendlyfire7509 , Jesus final words “It is finished “ No need to restore a gospel that was finished
No one better to reach the mormons than Jeff....May the Lord continue his work in you, So that many will come to know the way to Salvation...
At 4:47 did you hear the lyrics?? demons are clever
+Jesus IsTheWord what were they? I just heard F*** that i'll take that
"It was once said thou shall not steal but F*** that ill take that"
+Jesus IsTheWord Exactly at that moment when he was talking about Jesus' atonement on the cross.
+Jesus IsTheWord yes the enemy came to "steal and destroy" he'll try to steal the gospel from these young men and destroy the truth
wow! :O the spiritual war is real!
Incredible. This is what truth in love looks like.
This was a beautiful thing
This is really going to help talking to people at my college trying to say you have to do works along with faith. Thank you Pastor Jeff! God bless.
🔥🔥🔥🔥 Rough day for those Mormons.
Possibly the best day for those Mormons
Nope jeff got his ass handed to him lol
Best day of their lives
Rough day for Islam , Judaism and Christianity too.
Everyone has rough days but its ok because even if we need some help we can get back up again
Notice how evil shows up in the car going by at the 4:55 minute of the video when they start speaking about Jesus
Lmao that's not evil it's just Machine gun Kelly
That guy blasting his music at 4:52 while the mormon missionary is talking is no accident. Notice where the cursing of the song and the MM's talking comes together perfectly.
I’ve seen most of the Mormon playlist and this is the first time I’ve seen someone whip out a notebook to write down the reference passages. Hopefully his genuine interest lead him to the truth in Jesus.
Someone following Mormonism is not following God but following man.
True!
Name one religion that wasn’t invented by our human ancestors?
There are lots of different religions its hard to decide but that's your choice 🙂
@@myopenmind527 none. Jesus isn’t a religion He is the Creator in human flesh.

He just brought those kids to the light. They're going to go home and have a lot of questions.
Who wrote the gospels?
What are the origins of the Hebrew Bible (i.e. Old Testament).
If Adam and Eve never existed how can we have original sin?
How old is the earth?
Great dialogue brother! Thank you and God bless you
I thought the mormons were down right respectful. May God move on their hearts and bring them into the light. Good stuff, Jeff!♡
Which god? What if they convert to islam or Christianity now? Why push them in the direction of another false religion?
@@myopenmind527 im speaking specifically of GOD ALMIGHTY, the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who gifted us Jesus Christ through the lineage of David and the House of Judah and only Through faith in Jesus Christ can we attain eternal salvation in Heaven.
By the transformation of our hearts through His Holy Spirit can we make this transition from a sinning reprobate to a redeemed child of GOD.
Mormons teach a false WORK BASED gospel; a false gospel and a Jesus that cannot save because they believe in works.
If anyone believes in other "gods" and not GOD then they are in pursuit on eternal damnation unless they repent.
@@myopenmind527 based on your UA-cam name and your comment i can determine that you do not believe in Jesus.
Do you believe?
@@followthepinkline Biblical historians don’t believe Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Moses ever existed. There is no evidence of a global flood nor is there evidence of an exodus.
These are considered legendary writings, not history. Consider them as you would King Arthur.
Now obviously you believe the stories in the Hebrew Bible as Muslims do too.
You different in that you believe the gospels are historical but I see no evidence of that.
Who wrote the gospels and what is the historical evidence for the resurrection?
@@followthepinkline I do believe. I believe in things that can be shown to be demonstrably true. Some beliefs I hold with much less confidence and others not at all.
I pray these young men repented and were saved. Pastor Durbin was wonderful, this brought tears to my eyes
As if being deceived is a sin smh
10:40-11:40 Made me think of "those who seek the truth shall find it". Thank you very much for your way of love and presenting the truth to these people. I have seen at least one older video where the Christian side (if they were Christians) basically were smart, but ended up having this talking over type, I'm gonna school you, abrasive type of attitude towards the two Mormon missionaries. And in the end it's like the two young Mormons ended up being the more mature, courteous, and respectful ones of the whole mix, until they finally decided to walk away from it. It's one thing to speak the truth, but it's another to do it in a way that would only push people further away from Jesus, or give a wrong impression of what being an ambassador for Christ should look like. Then it was like, "Well why don't You do it?", but the problem is I am a mess who continues to doubt my salvation. So you are a blessing to have on here. Thank you, and praise God!
What an amazing presentation of the gospel. What a heart of compassion for the lost.
I learn so much watching his videos. I talk to many folks every weekend and I take notes when I watch his videos to better help me to articulate the truth.
I’ve come to realize Mormons don’t know the gospel
Jeff I hope you run in to that "elder"again. He absorbed what you had to say
Very nice. I believe you have the gift of teaching
Dude this is seriously awesome!!!!
It’s so obvious to me that these young men have been brainwashed and really haven’t a clue who Jesus is. Preach Brother! 🔥🙌🏽🥰
That's an epic beard!
Heck yes!!!
Great word brother Jeff! It's awesome how you told them the Truth in love and respect. It inspires me and reminds me to do the same! :)
This reminds me of Kyle and Jerry, two Mormon missionaries we encountered in El Salvador some years back. We had a very similar conversation with them as we were out going door to door with the Gospel message of Christ. When it came to the time to depart from them, they asked us to pray for them. That is the first and only time that has happened and I have encountered many Mormon missionaries in travels for the Kingdom of God purposes all over the world. We prayed they would find no rest until they repent of their SIN, confess Christ as Lord and believe God has raised Him from the grave. Luke 13:3&5, Romans 10:9a & 10:9b. We departed in good standing. God had definitely ordained the moment! As I see here as well!
The epitome of speaking the truth in love.
I want to clarify something as a Catholic, a common misconception. The common misconception is that Catholics believe in works which is not true. We believe that works come out of Grace and love. For if you don't act out in love you have not truly accepted Christ. Grace comes first and foremost.
A huge number of prodestants who study deeply the history of the church and the church Father's convert to catholism.
I'm an ex Catholic....That's the lest of the problem when it comes to Catholic Church....Many of it's teachings are false or misguided, specially with praying to Saints, & Mary, which is a grave sin in the eyes of the Lord, The Idolatry, The fact that the Bible never mentions the word Pope as the head of the Church, The fact that the virgin Mary, stood a virgin..The bible teaches Jesus had 4 brothers and Sisters, Many of the Catholic traditions are based on Baal worship and not Christian at all....These are just basic examples of what's wrong with Catholicism....
@@EtanoS24 I'm so glad you took the time to write a response to my comments...I just view this, and I will refute every word, I see that you do have a very good knowledge of Catholicism, but not a well biblical Standing on what the Bible is saying on the passages you quoted... Give me an hour.. I will be responding to what you have written....and I do appreciate you taking the time to write your comments, my response to you will be done out of love and not to prove who is right or wrong....Thank you.
For your last statement, I pray and thank God everyday, that he choose me before the foundation of this world to be holy and blameless in his sight. All done by the faith I have in him and his death on the Cross for my sins...
Idolatry is not only the worship of statutes, It is the worship of anyone but the Lord. I have many Catholic friends and family, whom I heard pray for the saints and Mary, not for them to pray for them, as you stated....Idolatry begins when you lose sight of Christ. Exodus 20:3-6 You should have no other God's before me, you should not make for yourself a carved image (just walk into any Catholic church and you will find statutes of Christ, Mary or various Saints) or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or is on the earth beneath or under the waters, you should NOT BOW DOWN TO THEM, or serve them, for I your Lord am a jelous God.
The Greek word "Saint" is Agios
It literally means one who is alive and believes in Christ. Not someone who died and did good deeds. The Catholic bible changed the word "Saints" to "good people". The Apostle Paul writing to the Churches, would begin by saying to the Saints in Ephasus or to the other churches. The bible teaches in Romans 10:3-4 Our salvation is thru his righteousness, not ours, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
The whole concept of Saints is distorted in Catholicism, the bible never teaches us to pray to Mary or any Saint, the bible does not teach that a mere human being (priest) can intercede for our sins, only Christ can do that and only when we accept him as our Lord and Savior.
Concerning Peter;
The bible does not teach that Peter is over any apostle, there like I said before, is no mention of the word Pope or that office for that matter in scripture.
Paul, was the Roman Citizen, not Peter, no where in the bible does it teach that Peter ever went to Rome, nor does it do it in any historical texts outside of course by the Catholic Religion.
The Catholics teach that Christ passed Peter's apostolic authority, refered to as "apostolic succession" but that office ceased to exists, with the death of John. Eph 2:19-20
Jeff,
Through this ministry, and the work of the Holy Spirit I've built the confidence to have these exact conversations with mormons all around the country. Thank you so much for planting this seed not only in them but in me.
Very sincere and winsome. THIS must be the way to discuss the gospel with those who sincerely disagree.
I felt like God sent that car through @4:54 while the Morman was talking.... lol
Collin Kato yea probably
When we don't like a message we shouldn't hear it I guess. Fingers in ears lalalalala....
@Collin Katto
Look in NASA 5 Millennium lunar eclipses 453 BC the add zero BC is 454 BC ther is a blood moon tetrad that begins on the Passover for sojorned Jews and the other 3 blood moons also land on Jewish feast days. The decree to rebuild the streets and walls was given this year. 454 BC + 31 AD = 485 years - 1 zerro BC - 1 for partial year error= 483 years or 69 weeks fulfilling Dan 9:26
Ezekiel 4:6 31 AD + 40 years = 71 AD - 1 for the partial year error = 70 AD the iron (Rome) pan shields surround Jerusalem. By a prince Titus.
Ezekiel 4 and the 390 years
454 BC - 390 years = 64 BC -1 for partial year error = 63 BC iron pan Pompey sacks Jerusalem.
It was not a coincidence the car disturbed at 4:54
GOD bless
Rick Huntling Facts
Jeff was awesome to at engage the LDS in thought. As the years go by it is more difficult to get out of a cult. Latter Day Saints are not Christian.
With 20,000 denominations of Christianity most Christians are not Christians.
The direct meaning of Christian is belief in Jesus Christ therefore LDS are christians
The name is literally "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints," sounds Christian to me....
dude I really like the way you share the Gospel with compassion. I try my best to do it this way. I'm happy I found your ministry. I met mormons on the street a couple of times over the last week. I shared Galatians 1:8 with them.
I've done that too. Lds take their faith personally and take it as a badge of honor when they feel persecuted for Joseph smith gospel. Dont forget to share ch.3 with them also specifically vv.21
Paul was taught by the revelation of Jesus Christ, this was a pure gospel over centuries the doctrine of men and women have skewed this perfect gospel, Paul does not teach the gospel that is after man (verses11-12) why is it that so many Christians have so many variations of this gospel ? Does God want us to be confused does he have a straight path that was divinely inspired not only through the Holy Spirit and it’s revelations to us but by Jesus Christ and his Angels that messengers to men on earth ? I believe he does and has
I love how he acts so cool, calm and collected asking calculated questions he already knows what answer he will get, then striking with his sword of truth and confounding his audience. I bet he practices in the mirror. Good job man, you made a huge impact. lol.
That's called the Holy Ghost and the question is do you have it? For God gives the Holy Spirit to those whom believe in His Son Jesus Christ.
thanks for giving this message. I know that Jesus is the only way but lately the devils have been making me want to work for my salvation. I have been struggling with this for a couple months and know I know why it is so important to have just faith.
Faith is the foundation for us. salvation is freely given to those that seek it John the Baptist had proper authority and Baptized Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God, works is required to become new creatures in Christ, meaning is it the perfect mixture of grace to our short comings and blessings for our righteousness through effort and the Lords power we really change and receive those blessings God has for us, key is that it requires both effort in our lives to keep Gods commandments and to fully receive the grace and mercy of Christ’s atonement. It through our Faith that we start this journey and how we finish it. Believe that Jesus Christ can heal you ! I know you can do it brother the Lord wants us to receive his power both spiritually and temporally may we increase our faith that lead us to better action in our lives that let us feel His joy and strength in our lives both Spiritually and Temporally in all righteousness
You inspired me to challenge what people tell me and to make sure it aligns with the word of God since then God had been working at my job, watching your gentle way makes me want to be the same way at times I get a little louder and idk if it's because I've just never had these conversations before or I just need to continue to work on my communication skills, thank you for your videos they really do help and inspire to not just hear the word but to put it into action.
Audio background noise.
Very gentle genuine persuading .Great Work of love and patience.
You did a great job brother Jeff
what....great job....This is mind rape......sick dude. Just because they are Mormons is not a reason to mind rape them.
I wish I could do this. I know the sweetest, kindest girl ever. She is mormon and I feel she is blinded by these myths that her parents and church brainwashed her into thinking. Any ideas how I can share the message of the God to her? I'm Christian by the way.
MUTWookie instead of trying to make her see her see your perspective try and see hers!:)
I agree with the above comment... They best way to evangelize is to understand their theology/doctrine. And of course by approaching them with grace. LDS Theology holds difficult and austere doctrines that stray from the truth of the Gospel.
Mormons place all their hope in their church/prophets rather than in Jesus Christ and His grace alone. They reject the divinity of Jesus in respect to the trinity. Most can't trust the Bible because they believe it has been corrupted. And many believe you can only come to the Father by living a Celestial-kingdom lifestyle.
The saddest thing is that if they're right. Most Bible-believing evangelical Christians will at least go to the Terrestrial Kingdom and get to be with Jesus. However, if they're wrong- they're condemned eternally for hoping in a false gospel.
Show her this video!
MUTWookie I also wish I could do this. I know the nicest old lady. She is Christian & I feel she is blinded by these myths that her parents and the Bible brainwashed her into thinking. Any ideas how I can spread the message of Common Sense to her? I'm Atheist by the way.
as of now,the BIBLE is the best FAIRY TALE MYTH STORY out there.Specially in the New Testament,it's backed up with many being witnesses to Jesus,specially among his disciples...Now anything else of any world Religion,there's nothing consistent like the Bible.
This was so beautiful
hallelujah it is great to see people truly loving someone who doesn't share the same faith God Bless you
Baptism is not a requirement to obtain salvation. Believing on the name of Christ and asking for forgiveness and salvation is all that is needed. Repentance of sins comes from salvation. Was the thief on the cross next to Christ Baptized? No. He was not. It is a outward showing to other fellow believers that you you been saved. Death, burial, and resurrection. It represents a rebith, a new life in Christ Jesus. If you are married and take your ring off, are you still married? Yes. It shows others you are married. If you are on your death bed and receive Christ if you hadn't before, and mean it with your heart, mind, and soul, you are saved. I believe that every believer should be baptized. Jesus commands us to be baptized, but doesn't say that you will go to hell if you don't or if you're unable to.
Amen!
#Preach
This is not true, the Bible teaches Baptism is necessary, very clearly. Jesus himself said to the disciples in Mathew 28:20 "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of he Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Jesus, also in Mark 16:16 " GO INTO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE. HE WHO BELIEVES AND IS BAPTIZED WILL BE SAVED; BUT HE WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE WILL BE CONDEMNED." also, Acts 2:38 "Then Peter said to them, Repent, and let EVERYONE of you be BAPTIZED in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." then we can go on over to 1Peter 3:21 "There is also an antitype which now saves us- baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. So, Jesus himself tells us to be baptized, the Bible speaks quiet frequently on this in the new testament and the last verse I shared also gives meaning into what baptism is and why we are baptized. Yes, by God's grace the thief on the cross through faith was saved, he could not have come off that cross and be baptized. However, we can, and we should because the Lord commanded it, and because it is also a symbol of our death and resurrection with Jesus Christ, our decision to reject this will and live for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who Himself was baptized. Please, there are more scriptures on this, read them yourself and see, and pray as well that God would open your hearts and eyes to the truth of His word.
+Kay Kalan That is true. Christ did say that. But the thief on the cross wasn't. Act 2:21 John 3:16. When you get saved, you are first baptized by the Holy Spirit. The water baptism is a proclamation before other believers
We are saved by grace through faith and not in ourselves lest any man should boast" Eph2:8 through the grace of God and faith in Jesus Christ the thief was saved, and so all who accept Jesus. This is what saves, not baptism. And yes when we accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior which of course includes repentance of sins, the Holy Spirit comes and dwells within us. However we are still called to baptism as it is says in 1 Peter 3:21very clearly "There is also an antitype which now saves is- baptism (not the removal of filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. See what baptism symbolizes is that we die with Christ to our old selves, we rise and becomes new creatures in Christ Jesus. This is not gonna save us, but as an act of obedience to Jesus and because of what baptism symbolizes is why we are baptized. What shall we say then? neglect the very words of Jesus to be baptized because it does not save us? No, we follow Jesus and obey what He says. Had baptism not been essential then why were the apostles baptizing men knowing surely it is only by grace through faith we're saved? It is because the Lord commanded and what it symbolizes. So no, it does not nor will anything other than grace through faith, no work will save but this does not mean neglect what the Bible teaches we will do, as an act of being saved.
I would say you should confront Islam this way, but that wouldn't be safe. God Bless
You'd be surprised how receptive to discussing the Gospel most Muslims in the west are.
iink ReDiBLe since when are we suppose to worry about safety when sharing the Gospel?! Jesus himself was almost stoned, Paul was put in prison multiple times, it's worth telling someone about it because if you say it's not worth it then you're robbing them of a chance for eternal life
That is absolutely wrong on all accounts, Muhammed and Jesus had VERY different messages, even atheistic comparative religion experts agree on that. Muhammed taught a works-based salvation which leads many Muslims to live in an ever-constant insecurity whether or not Allah will grant them Jannah (paradise) which by the way is very different from the Christian view of salvation and Heaven where we are assured of our salvation and reunited with Jesus, experiencing perfect relationship with him and each other, Allah is not in the Muslim paradise. Allah is distant, whereas Yahweh (The Hebrew name that God gave himself in Exodus "I AM") is both immanent and transcendent, He desires relationship with us), Islam in essence promotes a theocracy whereas we don't, and many other differences. Origins, meaning of life, and eternity are among many things Muslims and Christians disagree with; and the reason their are similarities in both Islam and Judeo-Christianity is that Muhammed definitely was in dialogue with people of both faiths and used those ideas to form Islam.
Nope, Muhammad was a bloody warlord, who advocated for wife beating and raping women.
Rainny Z no way Jezus Christ is love,muhammed is hate!
Amen brother. I love your heart for these people.
Wow! Just wow! I wish I had the command of the scriptures that this guy has ..... to be able to recall them so quickly and verbatim! I'm gonna rewatch this and take notes on all the scripture verses he mentioned. Thank you for sharing!
"I don't have that knowledge right now". Then what were you doin in seminary? Sleeping? Can't blame ya lol.
That’s what young Mormon missionaries are taught to say if they are asked an uncomfortable Christ-centered question. They are taught to duck.
That's so sad... the man speaks truth and it has NO IMPACT on those Mormons. Jeff is preaching love, and they are rejecting it. It makes me sad.
+Mxborg Unimetrix07. how so? you're quoting a verse that's the middle of a sentence and not a complete thought.
I agree with you, if you don't know the truth, then nothing makes sense. How may times have you read the bible?
+Mxborg Unimetrix07 Ephesians ch 2 is talking about the difference between being a Gentile (or not a Jew) and being saved by grace through faith in Jesus. Verse 19 and 20 together talk about how we are ALL... those who believe in Christ are ALL Saints. The verse quotes "citizens with the saints." Based on the early church of Acts 2 and forward.
+I Comment But if you take the core of what he's talking about, he's not trying to prove that he is right. He's not even about proving that they are wrong. His concern, and this is the problem with a lot of people, is that people are mishearing the gospel. The illusion of the gospel is "Christ will love you if...." fill in the blank. (go to this church, do this mission, covert 4 people a week, etc.)
Now I'm not gonna say "Just read your bible and you'll get it." Because a lot of the things Jesus preached on were against Pharisees.... misreading contexts. That's why Jesus during his Sermon on the Mount consistently says, "You have heard it said... but I say to you..." So this is not a new problem.
I will encourage to look at the character of who Jesus is. A man who preaches love and forgiveness. A man who offers freedom from our own guilt, sin, and shame. And for those who misread that message are missing out on every wonderful thing Christ has. This is why Jeff is talking to the Mormons the way he does. He loves them and He wants Christ reflected in his proper light.
*steps off soap box*
+honestlyfromtheheart 2016 that's a good start... but I think you should consider a couple things. 1.) Satan tempted, ultimately sin entered the world because of Adam and Eve's choice to disobey God. Without Genisis 3, we wouldn't need Jesus.
2.) God hates sin lies the second problem. Because of human sinful nature, there is disagreement as to what is a sin and what isnt. Then people try to manipulate the bible and "pull a different context" to create a form of religion that fits their needs. Then the other extreme when a church classifies something as sinful then becomes overbearing and hate filled condemning everyone.
Bottom line: We need a Savior. It's all about Jesus
A seed was definitely planted. He was so quick to write down the verses you gave him and he genuinely seemed concerned.
I love this man, such knowledge and compassion. God Bless you I pray you can continue getting the truth out and leading people to the truth. God Bless everyone
When I was on my mission I was much like these guys, not well versed in the bible or familiar with traditional Christianity. However, I've since gained a lot of knowledge and can say without reservation that the bible does not say that grace is all that is required. We MUST keep God's commandments and do works or righteousness if we expect to have life with him. You have to remember that Paul had several audiences. Sometimes they were Christians and other times Jews. The Jews continued to adhere to the works of the law (of Moses) and Paul was teaching that this law was fulfilled and no longer required. Also, if you were to take a close look at what the early Christian fathers taught regarding this subject in the first and second century when the doctrine was still somewhat pure, they all (without exception) taught that good works must accompany faith to receive grace. They also taught (as did C.S. Lewis) the theology of deification or the fact that we can become as God is.
Russ Bishop the teaching that we become as God is actually the teaching of the serpent from garden.... its the oldest philsosophy given to us from Satan.... and it appears in many forms of religion even making its way into Christian discussions. this is the same lie Satan himself believed, which is why he was vanished from Heaven....
leon scott that was true...
+leon scott Jesus said this. The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God." 34Jesus answered them, "Has it not been written in your Law, 'I SAID, YOU ARE GODS '? 35"If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),…
I think what it means by becoming a god is becoming the sons and daughters of God
Wow. Such bad misrepresentation if C.S. Lewis, the early church fathers, and the Bible. Watch James Whites debate called "can men become gods?" Where he debates a Mormon who try's to bring that foolishness, he gets shut down hard
I would be misrepresenting Lewis and the early church fathers unless I quoted them. C.S. Lewis said: "The command 'be ye perfect' is not idealistic gas. Nor is it a command to do the impossible…He said (in the bible) that we were 'gods' and he is going to make good his words. The process will be long and in parts very painful; but that is what we are in for."
He also said: "It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses".
Jordan Vajda, a former catholic priest said "The historic Christian doctrine of salvation-theosis, meaning, human divination-- becoming like God--for too long has been forgotten by too many Christians, despite the fact that this teaching is a part of the common inheritance of first millennium Christianity"
Now, if you also want the quotes from the early church fathers I would be happy to give them to you but I will warn you that you won't like what you read.
This is why we don't rely on the Bible alone, Satin the greatest deceiver of all who has studied longer then we can imagine has corrupted it. If you believe it or not later day saints Do believe in the true Savior of the world &many will find out soon enough. Things are getting close!
LDS beleive in a jesus who was created by physical sex between God and mary,Christians do not beleive in that jesus..big differance
Wonderful presentation of the Gospel!
Good job Jeff. You really know how to keep them listening
this is called bullying the members of the church of Jesus Christ.
+Josh Ramirez can you see?
Good to know😂 but it's still call bullying.
This is not bullying at all. He is being very patient, kind, and gentle towards them.
1 Peter 3:15 "but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,"
define bullying in 10 different language.
Mounga Fua with that logic wouldn't you be also bullying. wouldn't then i. and Ignaz semmelweis. even Jesus, God himself? do you think truth is objective or subjective?
Either Joseph Smith was a prophet of God or he wasnt. Plain and simple. You can argue points of doctrine all day long but what it comes down to is asking God for yourself if its true and if Jeseph saw God the Father and His Son. Ask God if he was a prophet and if he restored the church. It either happened or it didnt. I have studied with the missionaries and I have prayed for myself to know the church is true and God did hear me and he did Answer my prayers. Joseph Smith was a prophet, The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints is Gods true church.
James 1:5 is the only necessary scripture to test a prophet with. If you do what that scripture says and ask God yourself believing that God answers prayers then you will get an answer from God. I have asked God if Joseph Smith is a true profit and he answered my prayers. God spoke peace to my heart and I know without a doubt Joseph was a Prophet of God. Like i said before, Joseph was either a Prophet of God or he wasnt. Ask God for yourself. Man and man's interpretation of scripture alone will not get you anywhere. Why not ask God himself? He is the reason we have the scriptures to begin with. :)
***** Iam indeed blessed by what i just read thank you! The leader of ISIS is a false prophet. There are lots of people at this very moment to claim to be prophets that are not. What I know is that God answers even the smallest and shortest of prayers if we have faith that he will speak to us as his children. I know I am a child of God and that he loves me. I know that God loves me enough to answer my Prayers. I dont need mans interpretation of the bible. I read scriptures myself and then seek answers from God not from man. I challenge you to do the same. Read some scriptures and then ask God if your understanding of those scriptures is true. Thats the only way to build a personal relationship with God....Through prayer.
I am not Mormon, but I have studied LDS doctrine, because I feel like it's something that's not very well known in the US. I have trouble believing that Joseph Smith was NOT a prophet, because he would've lived a huge, elaborate lie his whole life, and why would anyone do that? Why would he mislead a bunch of people? I believe that he was a prophet, I just don't know if I agree with all of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints' doctrine.
+Francesca L
Fair enough, however a more exacting question to ask yourself would not be "why would Joseph Smith continue in such a big lie?" But the bigger question would be why would people continue in a lie like the witnesses to the Golden Plates and the Book of Mormon, and continue to assert the truthfulness of it; when most of them were either excommunicated from the Church or left it, with some even becoming enemies of Joseph and the Church?
@@miranda75289 have you read anything about Joe Smith?
Love the timing on that car driving by to wash out kid's interpretation at 4:52...lol
I love these videos!
Those guys aren't prepared for this. Jeff obviously knows his shit when it comes to Christian Doctrine. As he is a preacher. It's interesting though: The Christian knows the Book of Mormon is a ruse and the Mormon knows that the Bible is flawed, the Atheist knows both.
And here's the clarity.... knowing... and believing something to be true... are two absolutely different things. Until you die... even the athiest is having 'faith' that WHAT he believes, is truth. But he doesn't "KNOW" it.
+t marie That's why one must eject faith and accept the evidence.
How do I know it's evidence if I'm not the scientist. Aren't I still just having faith that this so called evidence is true? Yep. It's a cycle.
is not your interpretation of the data(evidence) based on your faith(belief) that you can correctly interpret it?
No. Your confusing terms. In science we either accept the evidence or reject it.

Like yours
so what's real then?
Jesus, God
+Saint 7 true
Yes Jesus is true
What humility, that those men resolved to pray over, and confront the truth of the Scripture Jeff shared with them in the middle of their mission. Surely God will not turn his face away from those who faithfully seek him.
Great work! Thank you for trying to reach the lost Mormons!
A very disarming way to speak truth and keep the conversation from shutting down. Well done.
This brother knows his bible and he knows Mormon doctrine as well. An excellent example of how to witness to Mormons. Most importantly, he showed the love of Christ. I've seen many videos where guys know the bible but their attitudes are very abrasive. Great job; to God be the glory!!!
Shrewd and gentle. Amen brother.
This is Beautiful. Praise Jesus✝️
