  • Here is the first episode of Apologia Church On-the-Street. This is actual footage outside of the Mormon Temple in Mesa, Arizona, during the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' annual Christmas Lights Celebration. Jeff Durbin (Pastor of Apologia Church and host of Apologia Radio) engaged in a conversation with an older Mormon couple.
    We hope this conversation blesses you. Our prayer is that content like this is used by God to open the eyes of Mormons to the true Jesus Christ and the Biblical Gospel and that it encourages Christians to reach out with love and boldness to Latter-day Saints.

      It was a pushy, disrespectful, spirituality abusive, narcissistic, wannabe preacher just like you who gave me the incentive to convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. And my being a convert makes you a very lucky man that I wasn't the one whose wife you totally disrespected when you ignored her request to just leave them alone so she could spend the evening with her sweetheart. God is still having to make repairs on me because of the one who lead me to leave all of you narcissistic types and join a church where people know the meaning of Christian decency. You pick on the ones who show signs of being easy going such as member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. You need to keep in mind that there are converts out here who were a whole somebody else before we started working on who God is rebuilding us to be. Though I do good, evil is always with me. In other words, I am Able but Cain is never too far away. Be patient. God's not through with me yet.

      22 in the body of His flesh through death, to present you set-apart, and blameless, and unreprovable before Him,

      Unfortunately, monotheistic doesn't mentioned in the bible and apostles didn't teach that word. They worship God the Father and His Son Jesus christ through the manifestation of the holy spirit.
      Monotheistic teach that Jesus and His Father are only one being. That is insane to think that god has three personalities and one being.
      Jesus is the first born of every creature or creation of the Father, and because of that He (Jesus) created every thing, according to the bible.

      Mormonism is polytheism. They believe there are many gods. They also believe men can become one - polytheism.
      Read The King Follet Discourses stated by Joseph Smith. He refutes Isaiah 43:10 and states God was once a man and became a God by obedience to His God, etc, etc.
      I know Mormonism far better than you ever will. I lived it for decades, and have a fairly good understanding of their doctrines and teachings and history.
      You will have to be a Mormon for a very long time to really get a proper grasp of their mindset and indoctrination processes.
      However if you're interested in joining I religion, I would suggest stay away from Mormonism.

      Ive been a mormon since birth living in australia so im the minority here, not like utah but i have the strongest conviction that the lds church will get u closer to god then any other church, let me explain how i came to this conclusion.
      1. Ok maybe u die at a very young age or even a baby, some of the christian believes that baby have sin from adam and eve, and that a baby is going straight to hell because he or she hasnt been baptised and so on. Imagine that, a baby that has no idea of what is happening goes to live with satan in hell i cant imagine god being very merciful and wouldnt worship that god. What i believe is a baby is perfect no sin, we dont have any sin until we are old enough to be able to know what we are doing is right or wrong the age is 8 years old in my church to be baptised.
      2. I will say to the plan of salvation yes we believe that there are 3 kindoms of glory when we die we will go to one of these places, and I will explain why this makes more sence then just a heaven and a hell. If u were not interested in god or maybe didnt grow up or hear about it in you life on this planet, u would not be saved u would be in hell. Also if u have commited some sins and right on the border of being in heaven but not quite ready to be in the presents of god and so if ur not accepting god but change ur mind later well it would be to late by some christian beliefs u would be in hell, and theres nothing in between also with no way out.
      Ok so we believe that if u have not been baptised u wouldnt go straight to hell out of god presents u would be able to continue to grow and learn on the lowest kingdom which will give u opertunity to accept jesus, god and become like him and live with him. Now that sound good to me, there still is a place where satan lives in outer darkness where only the worst of the worst go. Also we believe u will feel comfitable in the place u will go, and that the lowest kingdom is far better then living on this earth so it will be glorious to live there. We also have a temple to do work for the dead who have died and have not been baptised and recieved the holy ghost the oppertunity to accept god and be baptised, that is a much more merciful god to me. Even when dead u still have the opertunity to accept if u want to be baptised or not. Much better then the options of the other christian beliefs, i think. I am a lds church member since birth, any questions just ask.
      3. We always believe that in the book of mormon it doesnt talk of many gods its just the trinity one god, simple. How did god became god, it say alot in the bible about how we are children of god and he wants us to live with him again and be like him. So what does that say, im just speculating but if he wants us to be like him how do we do that, and to what degree, is it a little like him or actually like him with all his glory and perfect like him to be like god. We are children of god our spirit comes from god and we live in this mortal existence for a very short time maybe a hundred years then we die and like jesus we will be resurected eventually when god says its time and our body will be reunited with our spirit, so we will have a body that is perfect and will be imortal and can live forever and never die, which is what as a mormon i believe, and i hope is what most christians believe too. But what the difference is that they think we will just be praising god for trillions and billions of years with no growth, which sounds boring, i believe that as we live with jesus we continue growing and learning how god is, the nature of god and how he does what he does, that sound much more interesting and that like a child learns from his father most things i think we will learn alot about where god came from and so on. All our questions will be answered. Death isnt the end its just part of our experience and journey, but that my opinion.

You cant be a mormon claiming to believe the Bible, then also believe in the book of mormon that directly contradicts the Bible. Its similar to catholocism but to a much greater extent. All you need is the Bible, no other supplemental heresy to understand the God of this universe. Mormons are not Christians, they believe a different Jesus who is false. Thank the one Everlasting God that these two mormons were saved from the deception they experienced and now follow the true Christ of the Bible, who has always existed and created all things. If you do not believe the description of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit given in the Nicene Creed, you do not follow the true Christian beliefs of the Bible and you have heresy on your hands.

      Satan did not say "surely you will be gods". Satan said "Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil."Satan basically said they would be like Gods in one respect, that is knowing good from evil"... after all it was the "tree of knowledge", was it not? and now explain why then God says a few verses later.. after they partook of the tree. "the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil"So who is lying? God or Satan? Satan was lying when he said they would surely not die. Please explain how you reconcile the "you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil" when it seems god acknowledges a few verses later that is indeed what happenend... And remember.. it is the Mormons who believe the Bible is correct as far as it is translated correctly, and it is "Christians" like the Calvinist above that believe the bible is infallible..... Please answer. I almost never get an answer to this question from "Christians" because it apparently requires too much explaining or contorting of what is really being said in Genesis. I really want an answer.

My channel is full of information on Mormonism. Jeff was asking the man in the video his opinion then Jeff asked him to support it with the Bible. The Mormon could not provide a single scripture from the Bible to support his beliefs. The point is that God cannot contradict himself so Mormons cannot contradict the scripture that we already have.

      Chris B System is the problem 🏡 Our Life should be around these Great Qualities.....
      1, Show all living creatures; all the love and kindness as much as you can.
      2, Only try to be honest with yourself. If you try to be honest with others, you will get into big trouble soon or later.
      3, Aim only one target at a time; otherwise you are chasing two rabbits and you will miss both. So, the reason behind it. Have one powerful reason and never ever give up the one you want the most.
      4, Don't try to be good person only but be the powerful person. We will grow to be the one or we will die. There is no other choice.
      5, Always learn and look for to improve something your life.
      6, You are not alone. Love and faith the high power reduces unnecessary stress in life. But never completely rely on it.
      7, Success and happiness are the byproducts of our usefulness. So, always increase the possibility of success.
      8, Life is not going to be easy. Because of our unnecessary things. Eliminate all the unnecessary things as much as you can by organising yourself well with the environments.
      9, Never believe anything without the proper evidences.
      10, Always try to give more than you take.
      Because it is dignity/ character of the divinity within you.
      🌎 As long as people continue to see themselves as separate from everything else, they lend themselves to being completely enslaved. Success depends on how well we relate to everything around us. Joy comes from that bliss of connectedness. I believe that unarmed truth and love will have the final word in reality. To love; you should have good heart. I am a good person until I see a person better than my standard of goodness. Being good is the progress towards a worthy cause. Love is God. Whoever lives in love, lives forever. How selfish it is to try to keep something forever? Love is all about nourishing, nurturing, sharing and expanding the love within you for all. The principle to which we adhere to is that we have kindness of love at heart for the whole of mankind. As long as there is the unnecessary differences within us; we can not live peacefully so we have to eliminate all the unnecessary differences among us so we can love all. People abilities may vary but not there true love. If we love a person/ God for a reason then we love the reason but not the person. No reason is the reason to love the person because true love never fails. So do not compare or measure the true love as first or the last but love all truly. If you love people truly then you can understand people. If you don't love then you don't understand people at all.
      People are controlled by system why?
      The Cyclical Consumption is the current economy all over the World. It is making the scarcity problems of the earth finite resources to deteriorate day by day. Current Monetary System is legalised theft. Real money is Gold and Silver. Scarcity gives the money more value. Real money won't lose it's value. When Governments stay away from Gold & Silver then very easy to transfer the wealth / resources to upper class the Rich (Corporatocracy) Elite. When the Governments are printing out more new fiat currency with reserve banks, our old currency is losing its purchasing power everyday. They are printing millions of currency everyday. All governments and laws are existing right now to transfer wealth to upper class the rich elite. The USA Government & other Governments are in many countries, bailed the investment banks & financial institutions in 2008 against the majority of the people. There is no democracy in any countries. Because of the Money System based on profits motive only above all else even humans lives and well-being. So, we do not have freedom to protect our values with the money so on. The violence, bankruptcy & all the negativities are build into the Monetary System of our society. All are owned (including ourselves) by Reserve Bank. Which is private cartel the corporation. So, in legal system, we are legally considered as chattel the properties. They make money in the capital markets with our birth certificates. They do not consider us as Humans. That's the truth. We are at the invisible war with the Elites (Corporatocracies). We have to fight for our Freedom. Resource Based Economy is the Solution. We have to declare the earth resources as the heritage of all the people of this world. So everyone has access to it. Please have your research about zeitgeist movement then you know the truth more.
      Truth About Health/Drugs Industry Because Of It Your Life At High Risk The drug industry is a 1/2 trillion dollars a year worldwide conglomerate. Almost 300 billions dollars just in North America. That is really big business. What would happen if everyone were well? There is no money in health. You see, good health makes a lot of sense but it doesn't make a lot of dollars. Because everything they do is toxic. Every drug they use, prescription drugs, all drugs are liver toxic, bar none. If you've had amalgam fillings put in your mouth by dentists. It is highly toxic. There's cancer because most of the chemos are themselves carcinogens. To view the tumor as the cancer and we know the tumor is not the cancer. The cancer industry is 200 billions dollars a year. The more work they get, the more profit there is. You have to dismantle; If the truth ever came out about what we would need to do. 30% of people of females in America are at risk of getting, will get cancer of the breast. The ones that are already dead have been grossly mistreated by the medical profession and by the government that supposedly is supposed to encourage free research and development of all possibilities. Why would medical doctors who studied medicine and practice medicine and are heavily funded by pharmaceutical companies why would they go and look into vitamins? That they never had the answer orthomolecular. And as more and more of our population start taking their health into their own hands, there's going to be even more and more of changes. It can't go on the way it is. The system is failing apart. We must make nutrition the primary prevention strategy for the population. You are what you eat. You are everything that you have ever done to yourself. The choices you make directly affect the outcome of your life. - (Food Matters Documentary in Netflix)
      😊 Well, I truly love God. I am not religious but very spiritual person. So, I believe 1) Religion is the beliefs in someone experiences But spirituality is having my own experiences. The mainstream religions people promote religious ideology by giving guidelines and guide but In my spiritual life; I do not want anyone or anything between God and me to restrict my freedom to worship God. 2) We do not need any authorities to do good work. The god work is the good work always. In contrast; organised mainstream religions are claiming that they have the authorities to do God works as leaders so on. 3) God is not capable of doing wrong thing, change the past for us and create anything out of nothing for us. Nothing means not anything. So, even God is limited. The mainstream religious people believe that God is unlimited. 4) God wants us to take responsibilities for our righteousness life but not for all the consequences of our actions because they are continued to exist among us. So, How can god punish us for all our consequences? The mainstream religious people believe we are full of sins because of all our actions. 5) Freewill is an illusion. People always choose the perceived path of greatest pleasure. So, we do not have choices all the time. In contrast teachings of the mainstream religions are promoting people to do god's will always because we all have choices of freewill always. 6) We can not separate everything into groups. So, everything for good and evil and there's no success and failure for everything. If everything is real then real things can not be threatened. Once you come to understand that God/The Holy Spirit is in each of us, You will no longer need a Book to tell you how to live. Then why we need religious scriptures? The Virtue is the expression of the basic goodness in our actions. The Basic goodness is the fundamental worthiness of every individuals. We are worthy to God always in everything. 7) Beliefs in a cruel God makes a cruel man. No matter what; every living creatures has the right to live and What makes their life cheap? Everything depends on everything. Nothing too big or too small in value. We can not love and hate at the same time; Being a vegetarian means love without cruelty happily. The mainstream religious people are killing people and sacrificing animals in the name of God. They promote God's cruel punishments. The Punishment is endless for Sinners/Devil according to religious scriptures. But God is love always. Overcome hate with love. If all religions for peace, unity? No way. Because they are not for peace. 8) Well, The God gave us everything to go from moment to moment in our lives as we do our part and pray only to thank god then the Love is in progress. The Love is always for everyone. We are always worthy of the God's love. Our greatest fear is; not to be loved by anyone but we are all loved by someone. When we eliminate all our unnecessary differences among us then true peaceful life is possible with the true love. If we can't find the peace within ourselves then we will never find it anywhere else. 9) This is the Fight for independence and freedom of humanity to worship God freely without religious guide and guidelines to restrict us. Unnecessarily, We do not want third party controls over us in anything ; especially in spirituality. 10) Revive Survive Thrive. Sincerely, The Real Peacemaker against religious oppression.

      Ivan, read Psalm 82, verse 7: "But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes." IF these were really gods, they wouldn't die. Read D&C 20 to see that on 6 April 1830 Joseph Smith was correct about God's character being immutable, eternal and infinite. Then compare that to his preaching in the King Follett Discourse of 6 April 1844 and see for yourself just how far Joseph Smith had "progressed" into error. Only God is immutable, nothing else. Malachi 3:6 (KJV), 3 Nephi 24:6 (Book of Mormon) and James 1:17 (KJV) declare this of the Father. Hebrews 13:8 declares that Jesus is the "same yesterday, today and forever." -- immutable. Thus, Jesus is God. Check out D&C 20:28 which clearly teaches the Trinity, which the LDS reject. I could go on, but until you can come to see your errors about Heavenly Father you will never be able to overcome the errors woven into the maze that is Mormonism.

      Mariano Rodgers i mean literally no evidence, and honest christians can atleast meet atheists there. Honest christians realize its a faith based claim without any evidence, lets be honest if there was compelling evidence it would not be faith, just fact. Dont bash mormons for believing stuff which is just as unlikely as what mainstream christians believe.

      it is not emotions. it is deeper than that. It is hard to deny the truth when the Holly Ghost bore witness of it unto you, that even if all logic is against you, you will tremble in fear that you will loose your soul if you deny the testimony that God has already given you. his heart is not harden, though his knowledge to be a pastor level of bashing skills with gotcha questions along with scattered scriptures to back himself up is not on par with this pastor, you can tell that his conviction with Jesus Christ that he believes in was there. just pure testimony by the power of the holly Ghost. he was never bashing, but only defending what he knows to be true while the pastor was on full attacks to prove that his church and mormonism is not a true church.

      Christopher Bradley System is the problem 🏡 Our Life should be around these Great Qualities.....
      1, Show all living creatures; all the love and kindness as much as you can.
      2, Only try to be honest with yourself. If you try to be honest with others, you will get into big trouble soon or later.
      3, Aim only one target at a time; otherwise you are chasing two rabbits and you will miss both. So, the reason behind it. Have one powerful reason and never ever give up the one you want the most.
      4, Don't try to be good person only but be the powerful person. We will grow to be the one or we will die. There is no other choice.
      5, Always learn and look for to improve something your life.
      6, You are not alone. Love and faith the high power reduces unnecessary stress in life. But never completely rely on it.
      7, Success and happiness are the byproducts of our usefulness. So, always increase the possibility of success.
      8, Life is not going to be easy. Because of our unnecessary things. Eliminate all the unnecessary things as much as you can by organising yourself well with the environments.
      9, Never believe anything without the proper evidences.
      10, Always try to give more than you take.
      Because it is dignity/ character of the divinity within you.
      🌎 As long as people continue to see themselves as separate from everything else, they lend themselves to being completely enslaved. Success depends on how well we relate to everything around us. Joy comes from that bliss of connectedness. I believe that unarmed truth and love will have the final word in reality. To love; you should have good heart. I am a good person until I see a person better than my standard of goodness. Being good is the progress towards a worthy cause. Love is God. Whoever lives in love, lives forever. How selfish it is to try to keep something forever? Love is all about nourishing, nurturing, sharing and expanding the love within you for all. The principle to which we adhere to is that we have kindness of love at heart for the whole of mankind. As long as there is the unnecessary differences within us; we can not live peacefully so we have to eliminate all the unnecessary differences among us so we can love all. People abilities may vary but not there true love. If we love a person/ God for a reason then we love the reason but not the person. No reason is the reason to love the person because true love never fails. So do not compare or measure the true love as first or the last but love all truly. If you love people truly then you can understand people. If you don't love then you don't understand people at all.
      People are controlled by system why?
      The Cyclical Consumption is the current economy all over the World. It is making the scarcity problems of the earth finite resources to deteriorate day by day. Current Monetary System is legalised theft. Real money is Gold and Silver. Scarcity gives the money more value. Real money won't lose it's value. When Governments stay away from Gold & Silver then very easy to transfer the wealth / resources to upper class the Rich (Corporatocracy) Elite. When the Governments are printing out more new fiat currency with reserve banks, our old currency is losing its purchasing power everyday. They are printing millions of currency everyday. All governments and laws are existing right now to transfer wealth to upper class the rich elite. The USA Government & other Governments are in many countries, bailed the investment banks & financial institutions in 2008 against the majority of the people. There is no democracy in any countries. Because of the Money System based on profits motive only above all else even humans lives and well-being. So, we do not have freedom to protect our values with the money so on. The violence, bankruptcy & all the negativities are build into the Monetary System of our society. All are owned (including ourselves) by Reserve Bank. Which is private cartel the corporation. So, in legal system, we are legally considered as chattel the properties. They make money in the capital markets with our birth certificates. They do not consider us as Humans. That's the truth. We are at the invisible war with the Elites (Corporatocracies). We have to fight for our Freedom. Resource Based Economy is the Solution. We have to declare the earth resources as the heritage of all the people of this world. So everyone has access to it. Please have your research about zeitgeist movement then you know the truth more.
      Truth About Health/Drugs Industry Because Of It Your Life At High Risk The drug industry is a 1/2 trillion dollars a year worldwide conglomerate. Almost 300 billions dollars just in North America. That is really big business. What would happen if everyone were well? There is no money in health. You see, good health makes a lot of sense but it doesn't make a lot of dollars. Because everything they do is toxic. Every drug they use, prescription drugs, all drugs are liver toxic, bar none. If you've had amalgam fillings put in your mouth by dentists. It is highly toxic. There's cancer because most of the chemos are themselves carcinogens. To view the tumor as the cancer and we know the tumor is not the cancer. The cancer industry is 200 billions dollars a year. The more work they get, the more profit there is. You have to dismantle; If the truth ever came out about what we would need to do. 30% of people of females in America are at risk of getting, will get cancer of the breast. The ones that are already dead have been grossly mistreated by the medical profession and by the government that supposedly is supposed to encourage free research and development of all possibilities. Why would medical doctors who studied medicine and practice medicine and are heavily funded by pharmaceutical companies why would they go and look into vitamins? That they never had the answer orthomolecular. And as more and more of our population start taking their health into their own hands, there's going to be even more and more of changes. It can't go on the way it is. The system is failing apart. We must make nutrition the primary prevention strategy for the population. You are what you eat. You are everything that you have ever done to yourself. The choices you make directly affect the outcome of your life. - (Food Matters Documentary in Netflix)
      😊 Well, I truly love God. I am not religious but very spiritual person. So, I believe 1) Religion is the beliefs in someone experiences But spirituality is having my own experiences. The mainstream religions people promote religious ideology by giving guidelines and guide but In my spiritual life; I do not want anyone or anything between God and me to restrict my freedom to worship God. 2) We do not need any authorities to do good work. The god work is the good work always. In contrast; organised mainstream religions are claiming that they have the authorities to do God works as leaders so on. 3) God is not capable of doing wrong thing, change the past for us and create anything out of nothing for us. Nothing means not anything. So, even God is limited. The mainstream religious people believe that God is unlimited. 4) God wants us to take responsibilities for our righteousness life but not for all the consequences of our actions because they are continued to exist among us. So, How can god punish us for all our consequences? The mainstream religious people believe we are full of sins because of all our actions. 5) Freewill is an illusion. People always choose the perceived path of greatest pleasure. So, we do not have choices all the time. In contrast teachings of the mainstream religions are promoting people to do god's will always because we all have choices of freewill always. 6) We can not separate everything into groups. So, everything for good and evil and there's no success and failure for everything. If everything is real then real things can not be threatened. Once you come to understand that God/The Holy Spirit is in each of us, You will no longer need a Book to tell you how to live. Then why we need religious scriptures? The Virtue is the expression of the basic goodness in our actions. The Basic goodness is the fundamental worthiness of every individuals. We are worthy to God always in everything. 7) Beliefs in a cruel God makes a cruel man. No matter what; every living creatures has the right to live and What makes their life cheap? Everything depends on everything. Nothing too big or too small in value. We can not love and hate at the same time; Being a vegetarian means love without cruelty happily. The mainstream religious people are killing people and sacrificing animals in the name of God. They promote God's cruel punishments. The Punishment is endless for Sinners/Devil according to religious scriptures. But God is love always. Overcome hate with love. If all religions for peace, unity? No way. Because they are not for peace. 8) Well, The God gave us everything to go from moment to moment in our lives as we do our part and pray only to thank god then the Love is in progress. The Love is always for everyone. We are always worthy of the God's love. Our greatest fear is; not to be loved by anyone but we are all loved by someone. When we eliminate all our unnecessary differences among us then true peaceful life is possible with the true love. If we can't find the peace within ourselves then we will never find it anywhere else. 9) This is the Fight for independence and freedom of humanity to worship God freely without religious guide and guidelines to restrict us. Unnecessarily, We do not want third party controls over us in anything ; especially in spirituality. 10) Revive Survive Thrive. Sincerely, The Real Peacemaker against religious oppression.

      I learned /searched and wrote 🤱We are in great danger in a system. This is not a religious preaching. Elites have more power with social media etc.. but I am doing this in right intention. 🌍👆🌌A lot of people are reading more than this. Worth reading it. Don’t scan it, Read all carefully. Will you love your religious god, If you go to hell and live forever? Or any unpleasant places? You love religious god with reason so to be happy in religious heaven. When the reason is gone then you don’t love religious god. Living forever is very painful. Because you know everything and no more surprise, uncertainty etc.. Only time truly you are okay when you are okay with everything. But everything is changing. Making good connection with everything; that is true success. Science is not based on fiction but evidence and experiments. Evolution is not based on fiction or accidental events but natural selection. We need a lot of time; billions of years to create order on earth like now. No authority to science as religion. Religion created unnecessary differences among us. Low Caste racism slavery etc... so it is poison. For many of us, when we are in great danger or accidents, no religious god helped. You will understand this soon or later. Think for yourself independently. God needs nothing. God required nothing. God has everything because God is everything.
      Free will in illusion because people follow what works for them. People are controlled by the slavery system so fraud monetary, crony capitalism, plutocracy. Watch zeitgeist movement film in UA-cam with Red Pill and LA 92 documentaries then you will change by understanding reality more
      No one knows everything. One question leads to another question then that question leads to another question so forth. We can not prove unicorn 🦄 existence or completely reject unicorn or ignore unicorn. It’s up to you. You can not stop breathing so air oxygen, trees, sun and galaxies the rest are connected. All atoms are changing when you grow. Whatever you call “my” is not you. All depend on each other like that. No one can separate anything from everything means all different but the oneness. Got it? No? Pointless to talk to you more. Meditate or have sensory isolation tank experiences before saying stupid Things. By the way. I do not claim that I know everything. Observe in your body and around. No one can replace that. You can not 100% test every steps of your way.
      War for Resources inevitable. Over Consumptions of finite resources of earth deteriorate the earth🌍🥀day by day. No access to electricity and clean water by billions of people right now. No one is going to come above and save us. Wake up to the truth and wake up the rest to the unity of feel of oneness. The solution is Resource based economy.
      Followers of satan who will suffer with him in eternity."
      This is demonstrate God is ending hate with hate. Why? Because, Hate causes pain and suffering here without ending.
      2. God created everything including good and evil. Does it make god evil? Everything for good and evil. We can not separate everything.
      3. Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.” God created everything and John 19:11 So, whatever we receive always from God. So God is responsible for everything. Are we puppet?
      What is the source of our consciousness, thinking and imaginations? If everything from God then they are too. Then why plan of salvation?
      4. Human on earth for 6000 years according to bible in Chronological order. Ridiculous. There are overwhelming evidences for more than that years.
      5. Whatever we do; we have to please God said?
      What is this demonstrate? total control. Emotional blackmail. For kids like to do as they wish fairly but Adults can not blackmail them for their wishes for eating, drinking, walking as total control freak.

      No Free Will. People follow what work for them. If you have invincibility cloth like Harry Potter then No one punish you. What will you do?You do same
      You love your? religious god with reason to be happy in heaven but true love is; voluntarily and freely. Will you love your god, if you go to hell? No
      Agnostic made the decision that we can’t know or we can know God, Atheist made the decision there is no God,,Theist made the decision there is God But
      But All are wrong. I am who I am. I don’t need to relay on some experience so religion but in my life, spirituality is having my own experience.

Some verses say the similar thing, for example, in 1 John 4:3-4, that any spirit that confesses that Christ has come in the flesh, is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God.

      NOTE: EDITED FOR SPELLING AND ADDING THE CORRECT LINK AT THE BOTTOM
      He'd be wasting his time. When I was a LDS missionary, in Germany, I met an elderly Witness woman who survived the Nazi concentration camp at Ravensbrück. This old woman was imprisoned for her beliefs, and was dehumanized, tortured and starved in one of the worst hellholes of the Holocaust. She lived to be about 85-90 when my companion and I met her, but she was quite active. My companion and I returned four more times to talk with her, and to listen. She always respected our beliefs, never once using them, or the Bible, against us. When she shared her beliefs with us, she always did so with a sincerity and kindness I sadly admit not having when I was proselytizing to others. She taught us more about the Bible in those five visits than I had ever learned in the LDS Church. In fact, this was instrumental in my decision to leave the Church shortly after I returned home (I'm not a part of _any_ religion).
      The thing that struck me was how this little old lady, barely five feet tall, possessed a personal conviction I could never begin to imagine having myself. She wasn't special. She wasn't a miracle worker. She was just a woman who, when she was a young, stood up for what she believed in, even at the risk of a brutally violent death. While the churches in Germany, including the Calvinists and LDS, wholeheartedly supported Hitler's killing machine, almost to a person, hers was the only one persecuted solely on the basis of religious belief. They went to the camps by the thousands, many were murdered, all because they based their peaceful defiance on Bible-based knowledge.
      You think a JW video by Jeff would be edifying? I sorely doubt an obscure UA-cam preacher, who can only use the Bible as a weapon to hurt people, could ever make a dent in the Witness's beliefs. If Hitler couldn't change them, if his powerful SS couldn't break them, and his only option was to simply get rid of them, how in the world could some hipster pastor have a snowball's chance in hell of doing so? Again: I am not part of _any_ religion, nor do I necessarily wish to be, but I know what true faith in God looks like, and it was in her eyes, not Jeff's. Try talking to a Witness, you might be more edified by actually listening to them than you might realize; or, if not, just visit the US Holocaust Memorial website and read what they went through to prove their faith in God: www.ushmm.org/learn/students/learning-materials-and-resources/jehovahs-witnesses-victims-of-the-nazi-era

    • @riffseekers5229
      @riffseekers5229 8 років тому

      I suppose the Church would be perfect only if it were run by perfect beings. God is perfect, and His doctrine is pure. But He works through us His imperfect children and imperfect people make mistakes.
      In the title page of the Book of Mormon we read, And now, if there are faults they are the mistakes of men; wherefore, condemn not the things of God, that ye may be found spotless at the judgment-seat of Christ.
      This is the way it has always been and will be until the perfect day when Christ Himself reigns personally upon the earth.
      It is unfortunate that some have stumbled because of mistakes made by men. But in spite of this, the eternal truth of the restored gospel found in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not tarnished, diminished, or destroyed.
      Bbwa! Have you come to any conclusion for yourself only whether The Book of Abraham is true or not.
      And how will you tell if it is a lie or truth?
      n many particulars, the book of Abraham is consistent with historical knowledge about the ancient world.3 Some of this knowledge, which is discussed later in this essay, had not yet been discovered or was not well known in 1842. But even this evidence of ancient origins, substantial though it may be, cannot prove the truthfulness of the book of Abraham any more than archaeological evidence can prove the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt or the Resurrection of the Son of God. The book of Abraham’s status as scripture ultimately rests on faith in the saving truths found within the book itself as witnessed by the Holy Ghost. The Book of Abraham is Scripture.
      We all embrace it as so.
      If people say there is a lie in it. While others say it came from God who is the one to believe? True doctrine will remain true whether you believe it or not.

    • @onelastchance648
      @onelastchance648 8 років тому +1

      The issue with the Book of Abraham is Joseph Smith while transcribing that scroll claimed in his own words "That God gave him divine word regarding the translation". So, now we know one of two things. Either he was lying about talking to God about the scroll or God gave him incorrect information. Which one you going for? And for what I believe, I trust what the professionals in Egypt and what they say that scroll is about.
