@@TestifyApologetics The prophet we follow is the one who told us to feed the poor, spread peace, and pray at night while people are asleep… We do good by following the example of the prophet and we keep rancor, envy, and hatred away from our hearts because the prophet wished good for those around him and had a pure heart… The people of Quraysh used to worship idols, commit indecencies, and oppress people. The people of Quraysh and their customs are also found in non-Islamic sources, so Allah sent our master Muhammad to bring people out of darkness into light… Allah sent him the revelation through Gabriel, peace be upon him… He endured a lot to spread Islam and endured all kinds of psychological and physical harm and everything, and in the end people say about him that he was not a prophet!!! Just because they do not know his true personality and do not know anything about religion… They judge religion through their wrong understanding of some verses and do not want to search for the truth… The Quran that I read in my prayers at night when no one sees me, and I pray for hours to Allah because I love the One who created me and I feel very close to Him during prayer and remembrance of Allah, and I cry from the intensity of humility when reciting the verses …And because the Arabic language is the most eloquent language, when you learn it, it becomes easier to understand the Quran.. The hand of God is not the hand in the literal sense.. The hand of God is an expression used in religious contexts to refer to God’s power or strength, and is linked to the idea that God intervenes in events and influences them with His absolute power. In Islam, this expression is used metaphorically, not literally, to indicate God’s power and greatness in creation and management. “The face of God” is an expression used in the Holy Quran and in the hadiths to refer to God’s essence or as a metaphor for His pleasure and seeking His satisfaction. In other words, it means that actions should be purely for the sake of God, that is, to please Him and not for showing off or seeking praise from people. In Islam, “the face of God” is not understood in a physical sense, but rather as a metaphorical expression that reflects God’s greatness and perfection….. I hope that some things have become clear for you…
Dont Christians have special privileges in drinking alcohol,eating pork,partying,gambling,clothing,not needing to pray daily or go to mosque,no need for Sabbath,no laws of any kind etc?????
"Hey, I didn't do the research, can I copy off of you?" "Yeah, just change it up a little so it doesn't look the same." "No" It's all the same lazy re-hashed stuff that has been proven wrong time after time. However, a lie travels halfway around the world before the Truth has a chance to get its' boots on.
Muslims doesn't care that you are not attacking them personally, they consider attack/negative speeches on their fake prophet as attack on them. Period!
Yes, the David Wood polemics approach against islam the greatest effectiveness to lead them out of islams and hopefully into the body of christ. It is so common for church hurt and cult mental & physical abuse to lead away from the true lamb of God. A great metric to a cult is information control and the cherry on top is the cornerstone of all cults and false religions are a charismatic figure. Yes Jesus Christ was not only is the most charismatic and most effective in changing our world in the span of 2k years is indisputablely, unequivocally Jesus the christ what sets him apart is the intentions of not seeking personal wealth, s3x or power. Now contrast the character with Jesus of Nazareth the most attested to figure of antiquity is Jesus and compared to anyone else in the history of the world alone it is a knock out argument for and against any claim to a prophet status.

I can't believe that I was once stupid enough to believe that mormonism was true. Thank God that I learned the true gospel and the true Jesus of the Bible.
Not just Jesus of the Bible, but of reality, and of history. Thats a big thing. Lots of people can make stuff up and say 'trust me bro', but we believe in a person who existed, in a living tradition with a historical record and a creed passed down from the earlist Christians. Our trust corresponds with reality, common sense, probabilities, and evidence.
Yes they can still can't explain how smith was the one who translated hieroglyphics with the urim and thummim glasses an angel gave to him. He did it before anyone else!
To me there is no difference between the bible and the book of mormon and I am not a mormon, neither a believer in Joseph Smith. I believe the writings from Nephi to Moroni are sincere and inspired by the Holy Spirit just like from Genesis to Revelation
It's almost like people who keep voting for demon. 🐀 rats go figure keep letting people from 💩 hole countries into our country who hate us so yes plenty of stupid people
Both Islam and Mormonism fall under the anathema given through the Apostle Paul for a different gospel coming from a false teacher or even an angel from heaven: Galatians 1: 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.
@@BTMovieSecondChannel yep. Both Mormonism and Islam have, "angels from heaven" giving revelation that contradicts the teachings of the Lord Jesus and the Apostles, especially concerning the deity, life, death, resurrection and ascension of the Lord Jesus that are fundamental to the gospel.
First you are miss quoting Paul! The bible wasn't even put together back then so Paul was referring to the Gospel of Christ the same gospel we Mormons follow. Remember how many Gods the Greeks and Romans had back then. The Book of Mormon does not contradict the Bible.
@@khann844 no. Not misquoting at all. Paul's instructions to the Galatians were not simply meant for that congregation but for us down even to this day. If any supposed Apostle or angel from heaven brings a different gospel other than what the Lord Jesus Christ and the apostles gave in the first century, that person or Angel is under the anathema. Since the aim of your religion is to ultimately undergo exaltation unto godhood and have a harem of goddess wives to produce Spirit children to populate a planet that you will oversee one day as a god... it's not a stretch to say that Mormonism contradicts the Bible. This is expressly clear because the desire to become a God is the very thing that came out of Satan's mouth as a temptation to Adam and Eve that brought sin, death, disease, destruction and separation between humanity and God into the earth. Definitely check out Isaiah 43:10. Also, this is a good resource mit.irr.org/contradictions-between-book-of-mormon-and-bible
That is correct. However, the Muslims would say that it is true that you cannot preach the Gospel (given by God to Christians through Jesus) differently, but the Quran that is given to Muslims by God through the Prophet is not the Gospel. They would also say (not based on any scripture of theirs but actually contradicting it) that the current Gospel that we have has been corrupted so we are looking at the "different" Gospel about which Paul warns us. And that the Quran is "perfectly preserved" so that is the only reliable source. See, if anything in the Bible supports the Muslim interpretation, it is true. The parts where the Bible contradicts Muslim claims are corrupt.
@@BTMovieSecondChannel Well, some of them, especially on the Mormon side of things, truly are closer than you'd think. There's this show I highly recommend called The Chosen. It's an authentic retelling of the Gospels, and Dallas Jenkins and his team worked with the Mormons on the show by using their period set pieces for Jerusalem and other locations. There was initially some worry because of the involvement of the Mormons, but a whole ton of Mormons who have been working side by side with The Chosen's team have truly come to Christ during the making of the show, and it's still happening.
I'm so glad you're making these videos with the eerie "coincidences" between Mormonism & Islam - externally they seem SO different, but they are intrinsically very similar! While most people would not easily connect the similar, nearly identical way that women are treated as second class citizens, beneath the dignity and importance of men, yet that is what both of these religions do. I think, out of all the religions, the only one that puts woman to the highest dignity and importance is Catholicism. Our Lady, Queen of Heaven and earth, pray for us!
Proof Jesus Christ is the Tree of Life. He is the New Covenant (Eucharist & Bread of Life) made flesh. He is the Messiah King & God. The Blessed Virgin Mary is his mother. Her title is daughter to God the Father, mother to God the Son, and Spouse of the Holy Spirit. Jesus & Mary are the New Adam & the New Eve who will take us out of a world of sin into the New Creation. 48I am the bread of life. 49Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died;z 50this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die. 51I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”a 52The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us [his] flesh to eat?” 53Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. 54Whoever eats* my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. 55For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. 57Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.b 58This is the bread that came down from heaven.

It is the fulfillment of the 150 Davidic Psalms(the Psalter of David) that has always been prayed by Old Testament Israel, post-Temple Jews, and by Christians for personal prayer, communal prayer, lamentations, praise, thanksgiving, and, in the case of Christians, to demonstrate the fulfilment of prophecy. The reason why the rosary is so powerful is because every component of it comes from heaven. The Our Father was taught by Jesus and the “Hail Mary, full of grace” etc was said by Angel Gabriel the other lines come from the bible (Luke 1:28, 1:42, 1:43 & James 5:16). It is prayed during exorcisms and also as a form of self-exorcism -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Lady explains the Hail Mary to Saint Mechtilde of Helfta (1241-1298): “My daughter, I want you to know that no one can please me more than by saying Rosary. The salutation which the Most Adorable Trinity sent to me, and by which He raised me to the dignity of Mother of God. By the word 'Ave' (which is the name Eve, Eva), I learned that in His infinite power God had preserved me from all sin and its misery, which the first woman had brought upon herself. The name ‘Mary’ which means ‘Lady of Light’ shows that God has filled me with wisdom and light, like a shining star, to light up Heaven and Earth. The words ‘full of grace’ remind me that the Holy Spirit has showered so many graces upon me that I am able to give these graces in abundance to those who ask for them through me as Mediatrix. When people say the ‘Lord is with thee,’ they give to me again the indescribable joy that I received when the Eternal Word became incarnate in my womb. When you say to me ‘blessed art thou among women,’ I praise Almighty God’s Divine mercy which raised me to this exalted level of happiness. And at the words, ‘blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus,’ the whole of Heaven rejoices with me to see my Son Jesus Christ adored and glorified for having saved mankind.”
Outstanding analysis and presentation. As a bible believing Christian who is married to ex Mormon who by God's grace became saved last year after 17 years with her as Mormon you have literally hit every major point in a stellar way. I have always attempted to explain the similarities between mormonism and Islam, but you have set the bar with this video brother. Praise God for your ministry and amazing research presented here.
Both religions also reject Paul's teachings of sanctification by grace and faith and both teach good works. But this to me as an ex-Mormon with a sister in Islam, is more an effort of discrediting Paul as he predicted the advent of Islam and Mormonism in Galatians 1:8-9: 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.
Mormons believe that it’s only through the Atonement and Grace of Jesus Christ that we are sanctified and saved. If you think differently about their beliefs you’re just ill informed.
Joseph spoke of BoM stories long before his so called "visions". ‘"During our evening conversations, Joseph would occasionally give us some of the most amusing recitals that could be imagined. He would describe the ancient inhabitants of this continent, their dress, mode of traveling, and the animals upon which they - rode, their cities, their buildings, with every particu- lar; their mode of warfare; and also their religious worship. This he would do with as much ease, seemingly, as if he had spent his whole life with them." Lucy Mack Smith - Biographical Sketches

Read the biography written by an active Mormon and Harvard trained historian, "Rough Stone Rolling." Even he couldn't smooth over the problems with Joseph Smith. His famlies folk magic, his scam using an occultic seer stone, using the same occultic seer stone for the Book of Mormon. His ponzi scheme. He predator behavior with girls.
I'm so sorry to hear that. Mormonism is VERY appealing to people because it is so all consuming and the community is tight. Just keep reminding your kids of the falseness of Smith and remind them that the Devil tempts souls with material success to ensnare them.
This is the best apologetics work against Islam and Mormonism on UA-cam. Thank you sir, God Bless you, Jesus with us. Mary pray for us, most humble protector of the Holy Family St Joseph pray for us.
Epic video. Loved it! I wouldn’t have included the anthropomorphic section, as it’s easy to say that the Bible does the same thing in several sections, despite affirming God’s true nature in other sections, as you said.
Another parallel I've noticed is that both seem to have lost some scriptures. There's the infamous Hadith (Sunan Ibn Majah 1944) talking about how a sheep ate some Quran verses, and there is the book of Lehi which was lost by Joseph Smith's scribe Martin Harris.
This is one of the best video's I've ever seen. Thank you. I have a suggestion to a part II of this which I think would be awesome. Pick two or three well known US cults and map this same template to those. Branch Davidians, Heaven's Gate, Mansons, People's Temple. I think the patterns of those cults would match incredibly closely to what we see with Islam & Mormonism, to the degree that the information can be found (and might as well add Scientology & JW too).
@22:06 To be fair, the same kind of thing happened to the Early Church. Gnosticism was essentially the same thing for Early Christianity. BUT I am Catholic and I do agree that the truth was that Peter was the undisputed leader originally.
12:40 Paul claimed his Gospel was received directly from Jesus rather than anyone else, and he disappeared into the desert for 14 years. But that his revelations were consistent with the rest of the Christian message is strong support for its authenticity.
We are talking of seeking the truth among so many about human existence why are we here on earth why people die etc …don’t you get? it ll help us truth seekers to compare and know what to choose wisely not blindly .it’s not about trying to protect my religion or that but the absolute truth.

Yes, Satan is not above portraying himself as God in order to deceive ppl. Even now, he has millions of "Christians" preaching a triune god that doesn't expect ppl to live by the 10 Commandments anymore.

19:17 _"Jesus's life death and Resurrection were understood by his followers as the fulfillments of Old Testament prophecies not an addition or a correction of them"_ What the about his condemnation of the rich ? Was that already in the hebraic tradition ?
11:24 _"The idea of incorporating Pagan elements would have been morally repugnant to the Jews of that time"_ I don't remember who said that christianity was the result of the influence of greek philosophy on the hebrews ? So much so that some speculate that jesus was trained in greek philosophy before his ministry... After all, the gospel of john starts with a reference to "the logos"... What does that have to do with the hebraic tradition ? The "logos" ?
Philosophy is not pagan. Also that's assuming the logos is not true. If something is true then it makes sense different people would come across it. Also it matches a lot of theology in the old testament that doesn't come up much in a English translation.

Amen! Excellent presentation. One of the things heavy on my mind for two years before my LDS mental shelf finally collapsed was the fact that Joseph Smith had married the young Partridge sisters behind Emma's back. Our scriptures made it clear that asking the first wife for consent is necessary to prevent it from being adultery (D&C 132.61-62), even though there's an easy loopehole if she says no (132.65). There was no way around that one.
Peace and greeting, Apostle Paul describes the "third Heaven." We are also described as being "saved through fire" when our deeds have been bad, losing merits. This "trying" of our works is the "purging" fire by which what is built of wood, or straw is burned away as we lose benefits, or rewards. The foundation of salvation by Christ's Sacrifice gets us to Heaven by Faith, but we obtain rewards when our works are as gold and silver surviving the "purging/purg-atory fire." Bible!!! Kudos on the rest of it. Keep up your good works. They are not what gets you salvation, which would be prideful but may be indications of your having been saved, and we were "saved for good works." Bible. Wendy P.S. Peace out❤
I was really intrigued when I came across this video discussing the similarities between Islam and Mormonism. I've always felt that there were parallels between the two and have shared this thought with others before. However, this is the first time I’ve seen them compared directly. It seems to me that the devil used the same tricks on both Muhammad and Joseph Smith.
As a Muslim scholar, I respectfully disagree with several claims made against Islam in this video transcript. I will address the key points regarding Islam while maintaining a tone of academic discourse and mutual respect: The "Phantom Prophecy Problem": The claim that there are no prophecies about Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in earlier scriptures is inaccurate. While the exact name "Ahmad" may not appear verbatim in existing Biblical texts, there are several passages that Muslims interpret as foretelling Muhammad's coming: Deuteronomy 18:18 speaks of a prophet like Moses arising from among the brethren of the Israelites. Muslims interpret this as referring to Muhammad, who came from the Ishmaelite line. John 14:16 mentions the coming of a "Comforter" or "Advocate" (Paraclete in Greek). Some Islamic scholars argue that this originally referred to "Periklutos" (the praised one), which is similar in meaning to "Muhammad" or "Ahmad". Song of Solomon 5:16 uses the term "Machmadim" in Hebrew, which some Muslims argue is related to Muhammad's name. While these interpretations are debated, they demonstrate that the Islamic claim is not based on "lost" prophecies, but on existing texts interpreted through an Islamic lens. Demonic Influences: The portrayal of Prophet Muhammad's first revelation experience misrepresents Islamic sources. The initial fear and confusion Muhammad experienced is seen in Islamic tradition as a natural human reaction to an overwhelming divine encounter, not as evidence of demonic influence. Regarding the "Satanic Verses" incident, God says in Quran 53:23 "These ˹idols˺ are mere names that you and your forefathers have made up1-a practice Allah has never authorized. They follow nothing but ˹inherited˺ assumptions and whatever ˹their˺ souls desire, although ˹true˺ guidance has already come to them from their Lord." Using the names of the idols as examples to explain his point and telling to consider these examples. Incorporation of Pagan Elements: The claim that Islam incorporated pagan elements misunderstands the Islamic perspective on monotheistic history. Islam sees itself as a restoration of the original monotheism of Abraham, not an incorporation of paganism. The Kaaba, for instance, is believed in Islamic tradition to have been originally built by Abraham and Ishmael as a house of monotheistic worship, later corrupted by pagan practices, and finally restored to its original purpose by Muhammad. The rituals associated with the Hajj, while sharing some outward similarities with pre-Islamic practices, were given new meanings and purposes within the Islamic framework. This transformation of existing cultural practices to serve monotheistic ends is seen in Islamic thought as a divine strategy for guiding people towards true faith, not as a compromise with paganism. Private Revelations: While it's true that Muhammad's initial revelation occurred in private, the majority of his prophetic career was public. The Quran was revealed over 23 years, often in response to public events and questions. Many revelations occurred in the presence of his companions. Moreover, the private nature of the initial revelation is seen in Islamic tradition as a means of preparing Muhammad for his public mission, not as a way of avoiding scrutiny. The subsequent public nature of his prophethood, including open challenges to his opponents and public proclamations of divine messages, demonstrates that Islam does not rely solely on private revelations. Supernatural Translation Abilities: The portrayal of Muhammad as simply reciting the Quran without understanding is inaccurate. Islamic tradition holds that the revelations came with understanding. The Quran's linguistic excellence is seen as a miracle precisely because it came through someone known to be unlettered, demonstrating divine origin. Introduction of New Scriptures: The Quran does not claim to replace previous scriptures entirely, but to confirm what remains true in them and to correct what has been altered or misinterpreted over time. The Quran acknowledges the divine origin of previous revelations while claiming to be the final, preserved revelation. This concept of progressive revelation is not unique to Islam and is found in various religious traditions. The Quran's relationship to previous scriptures is one of continuity and correction, not wholesale replacement. In conclusion, while the video presents these parallels as evidence against the authenticity of Islam, a closer examination reveals that many of these claims are based on misunderstandings or misrepresentations of Islamic teachings and history. Islam's foundational claims, when understood in their proper context, present a coherent theological system that builds upon, rather than contradicts, the monotheistic traditions that preceded it. The Quran and the life of Prophet Muhammad continue to be subjects of scholarly study and debate, both within and outside the Islamic tradition. This ongoing engagement with Islamic sources demonstrates the depth and complexity of Islamic thought, which cannot be easily dismissed through superficial comparisons or out-of-context citations. It's important to approach these topics with an open mind, recognizing the depth of scholarship within the Islamic tradition and the diversity of interpretations among Muslim scholars. Interfaith dialogue and comparative religious studies are best served by a nuanced understanding of each tradition's claims and internal logic, rather than by attempts to discredit through selective comparisons. I hope to continue this interfaith dialogue respectfully.
I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I confirm as well that this video was (intentionally) poorly researched. The channel Testify tried pushing this stuff some weeks ago and Counsel of Trent some weeks before that. It's all so tiresome...
The claim that Adam built the kabba and Abraham’s later rebuilt it is a ridiculous idea that only comes from the text itself and not verifiable that it was ever seen as that even at the time of the “prophet” muhammed other than Islamic sources
Concerning family feuds,actually it was Jesus's brother James that took over as head of Christianity. When Peter went to the convertion of Cornelius ,he (Peter) had to consult with James to what he had done,Acts ch10
Christian prophets did have a lot of private revelations though. Moses was the only one to see the burning bush, and many prophets had dreams. Jesus didn’t need revelations because He is God. He is not a prophet. It’s not entirely fair to compare a supposed prophet to literal God. Unless you are implying that Islam is telling the truth and Jesus was just a prophet.
While I think many of these parallels are real- I would note that Nephites are supposed to be from the Hebrew people that came to America on a boat if you read the BOM. They are still supposed to be Hebrews from the time of Jeremiah.
This is incredible. Awesome resource

Just because they do not know his true personality and do not know anything about religion… They judge religion through their wrong understanding of some verses and do not want to search for the truth… The Quran that I read in my prayers at night when no one sees me, and I pray for hours to Allah because I love the One who created me and I feel very close to Him during prayer and remembrance of Allah, and I cry from the intensity of humility when reciting the verses …And because the Arabic language is the most eloquent language, when you learn it, it becomes easier to understand the Quran.. The hand of God is not the hand in the literal sense.. The hand of God is an expression used in religious contexts to refer to God’s power or strength, and is linked to the idea that God intervenes in events and influences them with His absolute power. In Islam, this expression is used metaphorically, not literally, to indicate God’s power and greatness in creation and management. “The face of God” is an expression used in the Holy Quran and in the hadiths to refer to God’s essence or as a metaphor for His pleasure and seeking His satisfaction. In other words, it means that actions should be purely for the sake of God, that is, to please Him and not for showing off or seeking praise from people.
In Islam, “the face of God” is not understood in a physical sense, but rather as a metaphorical expression that reflects God’s greatness and perfection….. I hope that some things have become clear for you…

Yes, the David Wood polemics approach against islam the greatest effectiveness to lead them out of islams and hopefully into the body of christ. It is so common for church hurt and cult mental & physical abuse to lead away from the true lamb of God. A great metric to a cult is information control and the cherry on top is the cornerstone of all cults and false religions are a charismatic figure. Yes Jesus Christ was not only is the most charismatic and most effective in changing our world in the span of 2k years is indisputablely, unequivocally Jesus the christ what sets him apart is the intentions of not seeking personal wealth, s3x or power. Now contrast the character with Jesus of Nazareth the most attested to figure of antiquity is Jesus and compared to anyone else in the history of the world alone it is a knock out argument for and against any claim to a prophet status.

I can't believe that I was once stupid enough to believe that mormonism was true. Thank God that I learned the true gospel and the true Jesus of the Bible.
Not just Jesus of the Bible, but of reality, and of history. Thats a big thing. Lots of people can make stuff up and say 'trust me bro', but we believe in a person who existed, in a living tradition with a historical record and a creed passed down from the earlist Christians. Our trust corresponds with reality, common sense, probabilities, and evidence.

Bless you brother
To me there is no difference between the bible and the book of mormon and I am not a mormon, neither a believer in Joseph Smith. I believe the writings from Nephi to Moroni are sincere and inspired by the Holy Spirit just like from Genesis to Revelation
It's almost like people who keep voting for demon. 🐀 rats go figure keep letting people from 💩 hole countries into our country who hate us so yes plenty of stupid people
Both Islam and Mormonism fall under the anathema given through the Apostle Paul for a different gospel coming from a false teacher or even an angel from heaven:
Galatians 1: 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.
A verse I often am reminded of when thinking about Islam!
@@BTMovieSecondChannel yep. Both Mormonism and Islam have, "angels from heaven" giving revelation that contradicts the teachings of the Lord Jesus and the Apostles, especially concerning the deity, life, death, resurrection and ascension of the Lord Jesus that are fundamental to the gospel.
First you are miss quoting Paul! The bible wasn't even put together back then so Paul was referring to the Gospel of Christ the same gospel we Mormons follow. Remember how many Gods the Greeks and Romans had back then. The Book of Mormon does not contradict the Bible.
@@khann844 no. Not misquoting at all. Paul's instructions to the Galatians were not simply meant for that congregation but for us down even to this day. If any supposed Apostle or angel from heaven brings a different gospel other than what the Lord Jesus Christ and the apostles gave in the first century, that person or Angel is under the anathema. Since the aim of your religion is to ultimately undergo exaltation unto godhood and have a harem of goddess wives to produce Spirit children to populate a planet that you will oversee one day as a god... it's not a stretch to say that Mormonism contradicts the Bible. This is expressly clear because the desire to become a God is the very thing that came out of Satan's mouth as a temptation to Adam and Eve that brought sin, death, disease, destruction and separation between humanity and God into the earth. Definitely check out Isaiah 43:10. Also, this is a good resource mit.irr.org/contradictions-between-book-of-mormon-and-bible
That is correct.
However, the Muslims would say that it is true that you cannot preach the Gospel (given by God to Christians through Jesus) differently, but the Quran that is given to Muslims by God through the Prophet is not the Gospel.
They would also say (not based on any scripture of theirs but actually contradicting it) that the current Gospel that we have has been corrupted so we are looking at the "different" Gospel about which Paul warns us.
And that the Quran is "perfectly preserved" so that is the only reliable source. See, if anything in the Bible supports the Muslim interpretation, it is true. The parts where the Bible contradicts Muslim claims are corrupt.
I have nothing but pity for Mormons and Muslims, that are so close to Christ, yet deceived by false teaching.
👏👏👏👏
@@SockieTheSockPuppet They think they are close, but they are far!
@@BTMovieSecondChannel Well, some of them, especially on the Mormon side of things, truly are closer than you'd think. There's this show I highly recommend called The Chosen. It's an authentic retelling of the Gospels, and Dallas Jenkins and his team worked with the Mormons on the show by using their period set pieces for Jerusalem and other locations. There was initially some worry because of the involvement of the Mormons, but a whole ton of Mormons who have been working side by side with The Chosen's team have truly come to Christ during the making of the show, and it's still happening.

I'm so glad you're making these videos with the eerie "coincidences" between Mormonism & Islam - externally they seem SO different, but they are intrinsically very similar! While most people would not easily connect the similar, nearly identical way that women are treated as second class citizens, beneath the dignity and importance of men, yet that is what both of these religions do. I think, out of all the religions, the only one that puts woman to the highest dignity and importance is Catholicism. Our Lady, Queen of Heaven and earth, pray for us!
Proof Jesus Christ is the Tree of Life. He is the New Covenant (Eucharist & Bread of Life) made flesh.
He is the Messiah King & God. The Blessed Virgin Mary is his mother. Her title is daughter to God the Father, mother to God the Son, and Spouse of the Holy Spirit. Jesus & Mary are the New Adam & the New Eve who will take us out of a world of sin into the New Creation.
48I am the bread of life.
49Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died;z
50this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die.
51I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”a
52The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us [his] flesh to eat?”
53Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.
54Whoever eats* my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.
55For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
56Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.
57Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.b
58This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever.”

The rosary is the meditation of the life of Jesus from birth to death.
It is the fulfillment of the 150 Davidic Psalms(the Psalter of David) that has always been prayed by Old Testament Israel, post-Temple Jews, and by Christians for personal prayer, communal prayer, lamentations, praise, thanksgiving, and, in the case of Christians, to demonstrate the fulfilment of prophecy.
The reason why the rosary is so powerful is because every component of it comes from heaven. The Our Father was taught by Jesus and the “Hail Mary, full of grace” etc was said by Angel Gabriel the other lines come from the bible (Luke 1:28, 1:42, 1:43 & James 5:16). It is prayed during exorcisms and also as a form of self-exorcism
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our Lady explains the Hail Mary to Saint Mechtilde of Helfta (1241-1298):
“My daughter, I want you to know that no one can please me more than by saying Rosary.
The salutation which the Most Adorable Trinity sent to me, and by which He raised me to the dignity of Mother of God.
By the word 'Ave' (which is the name Eve, Eva), I learned that in His infinite power God had preserved me from all sin and its misery, which the first woman had brought upon herself.
The name ‘Mary’ which means ‘Lady of Light’ shows that God has filled me with wisdom and light, like a shining star, to light up Heaven and Earth.
The words ‘full of grace’ remind me that the Holy Spirit has showered so many graces upon me that I am able to give these graces in abundance to those who ask for them through me as Mediatrix.
When people say the ‘Lord is with thee,’ they give to me again the indescribable joy that I received when the Eternal Word became incarnate in my womb.
When you say to me ‘blessed art thou among women,’ I praise Almighty God’s Divine mercy which raised me to this exalted level of happiness. And at the words, ‘blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus,’ the whole of Heaven rejoices with me to see my Son Jesus Christ adored and glorified for having saved mankind.”

Your god also says that the pain of menses is a punishment from him.

Outstanding analysis and presentation. As a bible believing Christian who is married to ex Mormon who by God's grace became saved last year after 17 years with her as Mormon you have literally hit every major point in a stellar way. I have always attempted to explain the similarities between mormonism and Islam, but you have set the bar with this video brother. Praise God for your ministry and amazing research presented here.
Really impressive video! Fascinating analysis.
Both religions also reject Paul's teachings of sanctification by grace and faith and both teach good works. But this to me as an ex-Mormon with a sister in Islam, is more an effort of discrediting Paul as he predicted the advent of Islam and Mormonism in Galatians 1:8-9: 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.
Paul said Good Works were essential, but not Works of the Law.
Mormons believe that it’s only through the Atonement and Grace of Jesus Christ that we are sanctified and saved. If you think differently about their beliefs you’re just ill informed.
This was good. God bless you brom

Epic video. Loved it! I wouldn’t have included the anthropomorphic section, as it’s easy to say that the Bible does the same thing in several sections, despite affirming God’s true nature in other sections, as you said.
Another parallel I've noticed is that both seem to have lost some scriptures. There's the infamous Hadith (Sunan Ibn Majah 1944) talking about how a sheep ate some Quran verses, and there is the book of Lehi which was lost by Joseph Smith's scribe Martin Harris.
This is one of the best video's I've ever seen. Thank you. I have a suggestion to a part II of this which I think would be awesome. Pick two or three well known US cults and map this same template to those. Branch Davidians, Heaven's Gate, Mansons, People's Temple. I think the patterns of those cults would match incredibly closely to what we see with Islam & Mormonism, to the degree that the information can be found (and might as well add Scientology & JW too).

@22:06 To be fair, the same kind of thing happened to the Early Church. Gnosticism was essentially the same thing for Early Christianity. BUT I am Catholic and I do agree that the truth was that Peter was the undisputed leader originally.

Just because they do not know his true personality and do not know anything about religion… They judge religion through their wrong understanding of some verses and do not want to search for the truth… The Quran that I read in my prayers at night when no one sees me, and I pray for hours to Allah because I love the One who created me and I feel very close to Him during prayer and remembrance of Allah, and I cry from the intensity of humility when reciting the verses …And because the Arabic language is the most eloquent language, when you learn it, it becomes easier to understand the Quran.. The hand of God is not the hand in the literal sense.. The hand of God is an expression used in religious contexts to refer to God’s power or strength, and is linked to the idea that God intervenes in events and influences them with His absolute power. In Islam, this expression is used metaphorically, not literally, to indicate God’s power and greatness in creation and management. “The face of God” is an expression used in the Holy Quran and in the hadiths to refer to God’s essence or as a metaphor for His pleasure and seeking His satisfaction. In other words, it means that actions should be purely for the sake of God, that is, to please Him and not for showing off or seeking praise from people.
In Islam, “the face of God” is not understood in a physical sense, but rather as a metaphorical expression that reflects God’s greatness and perfection….. I hope that some things have become clear for you…
Great video!
Amen! Excellent presentation. One of the things heavy on my mind for two years before my LDS mental shelf finally collapsed was the fact that Joseph Smith had married the young Partridge sisters behind Emma's back. Our scriptures made it clear that asking the first wife for consent is necessary to prevent it from being adultery (D&C 132.61-62), even though there's an easy loopehole if she says no (132.65). There was no way around that one.
Thanks brother!!
This is great.
Peace and greeting, Apostle Paul describes the "third Heaven." We are also described as being "saved through fire" when our deeds have been bad, losing merits. This "trying" of our works is the "purging" fire by which what is built of wood, or straw is burned away as we lose benefits, or rewards. The foundation of salvation by Christ's Sacrifice gets us to Heaven by Faith, but we obtain rewards when our works are as gold and silver surviving the "purging/purg-atory fire." Bible!!! Kudos on the rest of it. Keep up your good works. They are not what gets you salvation, which would be prideful but may be indications of your having been saved, and we were "saved for good works." Bible.

P.S. Peace out❤
And remember Muhammad started getting persuasive and aggressive after Khadija passed away, his feeder
evidence?
Indeed. And before her death he disnt dare take other wives and then couldnt get enough of women
Thank God for the Internet
If it looks like a cult, acts like a cult, and sounds like a cult, its probably a cult
That's why I'll never be a Creedist.

Dr Walter Martin ( the Bible answer man) left no Cults unscathed!
I was really intrigued when I came across this video discussing the similarities between Islam and Mormonism. I've always felt that there were parallels between the two and have shared this thought with others before. However, this is the first time I’ve seen them compared directly. It seems to me that the devil used the same tricks on both Muhammad and Joseph Smith.

Michael Rood “ truth or traditions”??
As a Muslim scholar, I respectfully disagree with several claims made against Islam in this video transcript. I will address the key points regarding Islam while maintaining a tone of academic discourse and mutual respect:
The "Phantom Prophecy Problem":
The claim that there are no prophecies about Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in earlier scriptures is inaccurate. While the exact name "Ahmad" may not appear verbatim in existing Biblical texts, there are several passages that Muslims interpret as foretelling Muhammad's coming:
Deuteronomy 18:18 speaks of a prophet like Moses arising from among the brethren of the Israelites. Muslims interpret this as referring to Muhammad, who came from the Ishmaelite line.
John 14:16 mentions the coming of a "Comforter" or "Advocate" (Paraclete in Greek). Some Islamic scholars argue that this originally referred to "Periklutos" (the praised one), which is similar in meaning to "Muhammad" or "Ahmad".
Song of Solomon 5:16 uses the term "Machmadim" in Hebrew, which some Muslims argue is related to Muhammad's name.
While these interpretations are debated, they demonstrate that the Islamic claim is not based on "lost" prophecies, but on existing texts interpreted through an Islamic lens.
Demonic Influences:
The portrayal of Prophet Muhammad's first revelation experience misrepresents Islamic sources. The initial fear and confusion Muhammad experienced is seen in Islamic tradition as a natural human reaction to an overwhelming divine encounter, not as evidence of demonic influence.
Regarding the "Satanic Verses" incident, God says in Quran 53:23 "These ˹idols˺ are mere names that you and your forefathers have made up1-a practice Allah has never authorized. They follow nothing but ˹inherited˺ assumptions and whatever ˹their˺ souls desire, although ˹true˺ guidance has already come to them from their Lord." Using the names of the idols as examples to explain his point and telling to consider these examples.
Incorporation of Pagan Elements:
The claim that Islam incorporated pagan elements misunderstands the Islamic perspective on monotheistic history. Islam sees itself as a restoration of the original monotheism of Abraham, not an incorporation of paganism. The Kaaba, for instance, is believed in Islamic tradition to have been originally built by Abraham and Ishmael as a house of monotheistic worship, later corrupted by pagan practices, and finally restored to its original purpose by Muhammad.
The rituals associated with the Hajj, while sharing some outward similarities with pre-Islamic practices, were given new meanings and purposes within the Islamic framework. This transformation of existing cultural practices to serve monotheistic ends is seen in Islamic thought as a divine strategy for guiding people towards true faith, not as a compromise with paganism.
Private Revelations:
While it's true that Muhammad's initial revelation occurred in private, the majority of his prophetic career was public. The Quran was revealed over 23 years, often in response to public events and questions. Many revelations occurred in the presence of his companions.
Moreover, the private nature of the initial revelation is seen in Islamic tradition as a means of preparing Muhammad for his public mission, not as a way of avoiding scrutiny. The subsequent public nature of his prophethood, including open challenges to his opponents and public proclamations of divine messages, demonstrates that Islam does not rely solely on private revelations.
Supernatural Translation Abilities:
The portrayal of Muhammad as simply reciting the Quran without understanding is inaccurate. Islamic tradition holds that the revelations came with understanding. The Quran's linguistic excellence is seen as a miracle precisely because it came through someone known to be unlettered, demonstrating divine origin.
Introduction of New Scriptures:
The Quran does not claim to replace previous scriptures entirely, but to confirm what remains true in them and to correct what has been altered or misinterpreted over time. The Quran acknowledges the divine origin of previous revelations while claiming to be the final, preserved revelation.
This concept of progressive revelation is not unique to Islam and is found in various religious traditions. The Quran's relationship to previous scriptures is one of continuity and correction, not wholesale replacement.
In conclusion, while the video presents these parallels as evidence against the authenticity of Islam, a closer examination reveals that many of these claims are based on misunderstandings or misrepresentations of Islamic teachings and history. Islam's foundational claims, when understood in their proper context, present a coherent theological system that builds upon, rather than contradicts, the monotheistic traditions that preceded it.
The Quran and the life of Prophet Muhammad continue to be subjects of scholarly study and debate, both within and outside the Islamic tradition. This ongoing engagement with Islamic sources demonstrates the depth and complexity of Islamic thought, which cannot be easily dismissed through superficial comparisons or out-of-context citations.
It's important to approach these topics with an open mind, recognizing the depth of scholarship within the Islamic tradition and the diversity of interpretations among Muslim scholars.
Interfaith dialogue and comparative religious studies are best served by a nuanced understanding of each tradition's claims and internal logic, rather than by attempts to discredit through selective comparisons.
I hope to continue this interfaith dialogue respectfully.
I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I confirm as well that this video was (intentionally) poorly researched. The channel Testify tried pushing this stuff some weeks ago and Counsel of Trent some weeks before that. It's all so tiresome...
How is what muhammed experienced a natural way no other prophet or figure has ever reacted the way he did what basis do you have for that claim
Yeah the satanic verses that isn’t what they say at all your reading your own interpretation into the text
The claim that Adam built the kabba and Abraham’s later rebuilt it is a ridiculous idea that only comes from the text itself and not verifiable that it was ever seen as that even at the time of the “prophet” muhammed other than Islamic sources
No it’s a compromise with paganism why would God need to compromise and implement there practices
Concerning family feuds,actually it was Jesus's brother James that took over as head of Christianity. When Peter went to the convertion of Cornelius ,he (Peter) had to consult with James to what he had done,Acts ch10
If you want wealth and power, start a new religion
Has there ever been a formal debate between an Islamist & a Mormonist - or whatever !?
That would be entertaining for the two to hash this one out !
Neither have the truth, you must have a Christian there.
Commenting for the algorithm!
Christian prophets did have a lot of private revelations though. Moses was the only one to see the burning bush, and many prophets had dreams. Jesus didn’t need revelations because He is God. He is not a prophet. It’s not entirely fair to compare a supposed prophet to literal God. Unless you are implying that Islam is telling the truth and Jesus was just a prophet.
I've said it several times before, and I'll say it again....thank God for Jesus!! 🙏
Really enjoyed this video and was excited for it to come out. Thank you!
Mohammad Hijab and Dan McClellan are NOT gonna be happy with this one
Dan McClellan probably won't care.
@@IJN-33 He's a Mormon
@@paradisecityX0 Yeah, but he's far from orthodox and regularly goes on Anti-Mormon channels. He is anything but an apologist.
Dan's an Ex-Mo whose attempting to trojan horse. He's probably cheering this video on.
@@GldnClaw He's out of touch with reality all the same. With his postmodern gobbeldygook and all
While I think many of these parallels are real- I would note that Nephites are supposed to be from the Hebrew people that came to America on a boat if you read the BOM. They are still supposed to be Hebrews from the time of Jeremiah.
