In 1998 my 14 year old son saw a commercial for the Lamb of God and asked permission to order it. The missionaries came and to make a very long interesting story short, my husband, myself and our two boys, (after we were taught the restoration by President Ronald Rasband )and the missionaries gave the lessons were all baptized. I’m the only one left in the true Church and I believe in Jesus Christ because the Spirit told me Joseph Smith was real and that Jesus would help me come back to him! You must believe in Christ for all the right reasons! Thanks Brothers Wilcox!
I just read in Brother Wilcox’s book that he changed his prepared talk at the last minute to talk about why we believe in Christ!! He found out later that 4 missionaries had been fasting and praying to know the answer to a question that one of their missionaries had, the question was “why do we even believe in Christ?” How amazing is this? #thischurchistrue :)
You probably dont give a shit but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times you can stream all of the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Have been watching with my girlfriend for the last couple of months :)
Hi Brad Wilcox, Thank you for sharing the word about Jesus Christ. I came upon your name about a week ago and I have been listening to you ever sense. I Love your enthusiasm for the Lord. And your messages and the stories that you tell. They’re both friendly and inviting. Thank you for being an advocate for the Lord. I am a supporter! And I’m also a Convert !
Thank you so much Brother Wilcox. I am so grateful for the truth and for living Prophets, Apostles Seers and Revelators who guide us today. I am so thankful for the Gift of the Holy Ghost who testifies of these truths to our hearts and souls. ❤
You're talk on Grace is my literal life support. I have to say that I've needed it this past week and it really helped set me back on track. I'm ready to try again this new coming week, and will keep trying for as long as I live!! Thank you for all your wisdom, and helping me see how much Christ is needed in my life. Have a blessed day!
My friends good afternoon thank you i feel the same way as you are feeling right now. Without a real relationship with Jesus we all feel hopeless... that is why we Need Jesus not Joseph Smith... I was raised in the church I went on a mission for the church I served in the bishopric elders quorum and different leadership positions in the church I have read the book of Mormon and I have found it to be absolutely inconsistent with the true word of God the Bible. Here are a couple of historical facts in the actual church history of the LDS church you may want to research:: 1) Joseph Smith marrying girls under the age of 15 example: Fanny Alger (God forbids such abuse) 2) Joseph Smith sending men on missions then while they are gone marrying their wives committing polyandry (Against Gods Will) 3) Brigham Young teaching the theory of Adam is God our father that is false and not taught in the Bible (False Doctrine) 4) Joseph Smith was a 33rd° Mason and he stole the Freemason temple ceremony and implemented it in the LDS temple ceremony 5) True Christianity never fell from the earth Matt 16:17-19 Joseph Smith lied that the gospel needed to be restored it never left These are just a few of hundreds of historical examples that disproves the divinity of the profits of the church there is only one way to heaven as it says in John chapter 14 verse six Jesus is the way and the truth and the life no man following a false religion will enter the kingdom of heaven Look up www.CESletters.org or com Love you and Jesus does to, He wants you to feel his peace and he wants your family to feel that same piece the celestial kingdom is a man-made false reality as soon as you can put off yourself and your pride humble yourself and follow Jesus and accept Him into your heart you too will enter the kingdom of heaven along with your wife and family guaranteed Www.JesusIsThePlan.com Love you
Robert Lewis Hello Robert thank you so much for commenting back Joseph Smith was a false prophet has Matthew chapter 24 talks about he spread a lot of lies a lot of deceit hurt a lot of people everybody needs to remember that it is through a relationship with Jesus Christ that we find peace and joy and contentment in our lives John 14:6 how long have you been a follower of Christ?
The story about Jack was so touching. I love listening to brother Wilcox speak! It really brings the spirit and grants a wonderful perspective for some sometimes-difficult-to-understand subjects!
Brad Wilcox testifies so beautifully of our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ. He delivers the message of Grace so clearly to members and prospective members alike.
Brad Wilcox is such an amazing speaker. His testimony is a wonderful example of a life dedicated to Christ, bearing witness of the divinity of Jesus Christ and giving Christ like service.
I love Brad Wilcox. All his talks are so alive, funny and so truly inspiring. Can't stop watching and listening to him. God bless you for everything you share with us. Thank you 😍🙏
thank you Bro. Willcox for simple simplifying difficult subject in lame terms so even infantile individuals like myself can understand the clarification of the matter at hand.
I love Brother Wilcox such a great speaker and speaks in a way I understand which strengthens my testimony I’m glad you have good memories of your time in New Zealand I’m from there where I got baptised in 2009 then moved to Australia in 2012 I believe that was Gods plan for me it’s great cos the gospel is true here too 😊 I got bro Wilcox on my play list and listen to him as I’m going to sleep I manage the first 2 this the second talk on my list I should know it off by heart but I love hearing him speak all the time 😁🙂❤️🙏🏽 God Bless you brother Wilcox and your whanau
That is a great talk and a testimony . Everyone who has personal experience of the Holy Ghost to believe in Jesus Christ has the true relationship with Jesus Christ, and that’s most powerful .
Exactly. I found out the book of Mormon was true, FIRST! Later, l came to realise that l also needed a testimony of the Bible too. I got that! I am soooo grateful. 🇬🇧 19:02
Why does your testimony rest on men - on “prophets”? Why don’t you have faith for yourself that Jesus Christ is your Savior and suffered on the cross and died on the cross for your sins as the Bible says? Why do you have to rely on the teachings of other men for you to believe?
I was wondering where you were going with "how do we know that Jesus is the Christ ?" Your answer is so true: We have a prophet that saw Him and the Book of Mormon that tell us what is true in the Holy Bible" Since I'm a convert I was thinking in reverse. Thank You for giving me a better answer.
There's a great book by an LDS author that shows that there's perfect harmony between the prophetic statements concerning the garden of Eden being in Missouri and the Old Testament account concerning the garden of Eden. It's called Canaan, Babylon, and Egypt A Comparative Theological Analysis on Creation sold by Eborn Books.
The real question is, "Why do Latter day Saints deny Christ and say he is a created being, the brother of Lucifer? It is blasphemy of the highest order. "If you sincerely drink poison, it will kill you: if you sincerely cut your throat, you will die. If you sincerely believe a lie, you will suffer the consequences. You must not only be sincere, but you must be right."
@@henryponnefz1419 God has commanded me not to worship the LDS Heavenly Father because he is only an exalted man from another planet that lives near a star named Kolob. I worship the true and living God, who spoke the universe into existence, including the planet that the LDS Heavenly Father came from and the star Kolob that he lives near. Exodus 20 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them Jesus is my living Prophet, Priest and King! God used to be a man on another planet, (Mormon Doctrine, p. 321; Joseph Smith, Times and Seasons, vol. 5, p. 613-614; Orson Pratt, Journal of Discourses, vol. 2, p. 345; Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, vol. 7, p. 333). “The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s . . . ” (D&C 132:20). God is in the form of a man, (Joseph Smith, Journal of Discourses, vol. 6, p. 3). “God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens!!! . . . We have imagined that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea and take away the veil, so that you may see,” (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 345). God the Father had a Father, (Joseph Smith, History of the Church, vol. 6, p. 476; Heber C. Kimball, Journal of Discourses, vol. 5, p. 19; Milton Hunter, First Council of the Seventy, Gospel through the Ages, p. 104-105). God resides near a star called Kolob, (Pearl of Great Price, p. 34-35; Mormon Doctrine, p. 428). God had sexual relations with Mary to make the body of Jesus, (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, vol. 4, 1857, p. 218; vol. 8, p. 115).
God is love. We all fall short and sin. Love is just and merciful. Because God is loving He must judge sin, we all stand judged and are due to face His wrath as slaves of sin. Because God is merciful He provided a way out from under the weight of the law and His wrath and a way for us to be regenerated. If we trust Jesus shed His sinless blood, died and rose from the grave He forgives us of our sins and gives us a new heart that wants to look God as our Father genuinely and delight in Him, freeing us from being slaves to sin. The rest is our mind catching up with that reality and taking hold of His teaching and truth until He returns, or we die. We aren't saved or kept saved by obedience, intentions to submit to Jesus. We can only be lost through unbelief (trusting in our own righteousness, to be or remain saved) or blasphemy of the Holy Spirit (attributing clear works of God, healing/deliverance, to demons and Satan).
It's incredible how people can be "amazed" by all these false teachers. Guys, you dont believe in Christ, you believe in Joseph Smith and his doctrine, no matter how much you try to convince people that you are christians
That’s a lie, we believe Jesus is the Christ and love him and trust him, we teach faith in Christ everyday, we live it. Our whole lives are faith in Christ.
@@joannenardoni17 You can "teach and preach about christ" all you want, but the core of your faith is Joseph Smith, his false doctrines and false so called prophets.
@@victorstarly23 Wow! I didn’t think it was possible that ANY person on this earth was qualified to judge another’s personal relationship with Christ. You must be pretty special!
@@victorstarly23 Um no....! I’m sure we all have some differences in doctrines but not when it comes to the saving power, love, and divinity of Jesus Christ. I’m sure that if you were sharing his light and love here, all people, Mormons included, would feel of your testimony and your love for Him and be drawn to Him through your words. But sadly, you are not doing that.
Brad, in your talk you say that the Bible isn't written by God, but interpreted by Peter, James, John, etc. In reference to that statement, I give you 2 Peter 1: 16-21 "For we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty. For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such an utterance as this was made to Him by the Majestic Glory, “This is My beloved Son with whom I am well-pleased”- and we ourselves heard this utterance made from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain. So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God." And in reference to following Christ because Joseph Smith saw him, I give you Revelation 22:18-19 "I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book." The Bible is it. It is all we need. We do not only not need an additional Book...of Mormon, we shouldn't be daring to think that he, Joseph, had a prophetic message from God when God basically said, "it is finished".
When he said that he was quoting the director of that film he mentioned, The Last Temptation of Christ who was denying the validity of the Bible. I know Brother Wilcox believes the Bible to be the word of God, as is the Book of Mormon
@Heidi Reis, you are correct. The Book of Mormon does not have all of our doctrines in it, but it has the foundation of it. We believe that God has given us Prophets and Apostles today, just as in days of old. In this way, God is able to give us more instruction, and this is why we have Temples, organized meeting houses, and worldwide missionary work to name a few. The Articles of Faith 8&9 read: 8 We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God. 9 We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God. Have a blessed day Heidi!
@Heidi Reis I am sorry that you think I was using double talk or bait and switch. I felt that I was quite open, straightforward and honest in my comment to you. Perhaps I can simplify it more. We believe that God has always called prophets as His mouth piece on the earth (Amos 3:7). We believe that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God, and that through the power of God, translated the Book of Mormon, and restored the Church of Jesus Christ on the earth today. We believe that since then, there has been a Prophet on the earth that continues do the will of Jesus Christ. Our doctrines come from the prophets, and our prophets are given to us by Jesus Christ. To summarize, we have the Bible and the Book of Mormon, which contains the words of the prophets of old. Also, we have modern day revelation and scripture, such as the Doctrine and Covenants, that we believe God has given us, and will continue to give us to prepare us for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. I am sorry that you have such a negative view of the Church, and that you thought I was being deceptive in any way. I was only trying to share with you my understanding of what I believe is true. Take care and God bless.
An Associate Professor of Religious Studies with no publications in peer-reviewed journals and holding degrees in an unrelated field? He speaks like a junior high school teacher. And a long tie with a short sleeve shirt? At 60+ he should have a long record of published works and show real scholarship in his field.
I don't think he gave a strong case for Joseph Smith. Don't get me wrong the talk was okay but the explanation of Jesus and Joseph Smith wasn't too good.
Why why believe in christ These a time we have to take by all types people because we have to get to believe we should take that message to enter kingdom if you have a since to paid at board for that gate be heavenly as home sweet home would no pain by catch up through all marked or once of christ you could be okay out of ouch ever

"God sent God to die for God so that God could forgive God's creations according to God's unbending rules." ~ LanceThruster Too Rube Goldberg for my tastes.
This is a misunderstanding of God’s triune nature, as it conflates the Father and the Son. The Father sent the Son (John 7:33), the Son accomplished the Father’s will (John 17:4), and the Son died for sinners (Romans 5:8). The Father did not die; the Son laid down His life as a satisfaction for sin (1 John 4:10). God’s requirement that a sacrifice is necessary to atone for sin is not a rule that He simply “made up.” God’s Law is not something that He arbitrarily created; the Law is an extension of His holy nature. God did not invent morality; He revealed Himself to us, and that revelation of His person is what morality is. When God said, “The wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23), He was not concocting a rule or imposing a new punishment on us; rather, He was revealing to us an unalterable, eternal reality-if you depart from the Sustainer of life, then you logically cut yourself off from the possibility of a continued existence. Those who reject Life only have one other option, and that is Death. Saying that God made the “rules” by which sin is atoned for is somewhat like saying that Isaac Newton wrote the law of gravity. Newton described the effects and nature of gravity, but the law of gravity preceded and transcended his description. In similar fashion, the Bible describes the nature of sin and righteousness, but the universal laws concerning sin and righteousness, death and life, and justice and mercy precede and transcend the writing. God’s laws flow eternally from the nature of God Himself.
@@williamcharles2117 God is the ultimate judge. Every sin you have ever committed must be paid for. God has already sentenced you to death for all your sin. Romans 6:23 The wages of sin is death. “There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, in the end, "Thy will be done." All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. Those who knock it is opened.” ― C.S. Lewis
Ugh! This is so frustrating to listen to. He’s speaking to the Italian people as if they’re preschoolers. Also, I’ve hosted Japanese exchange students of and on for over 27 years. He’s been misinformed.
This is how Brad always speaks, listen to any other talk by him. He always uses simple stories and examples. I also suspect he's speaking more slowly to give a translator time to translate for him. He probably did oversimplify Japanese understanding of Christianity, but he was just using some of his own son's experiences and didn't have time to get into the nuance of it
Mr Brad Wilcox, and all Mormons ditch the Mormon book into the fire or bin, where it belongs. Pick up the true book The New Testament and read Matthew 23 - 24 - 14. And this Gospel of the Kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the WHOLE world, as a testimony to all NATIONS, and the end will come. Amen.

The Mormons teach that mankind pre- existed in heaven. Wrong. GENESIS { 2 - 7 } AND { CORINTHIANS 15 - 46 } The bible from God. Man did NOT exist until his physical creation on Earth, and the LORD GOD formed man out of DUST of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and became a living SOUL.

4,200 religions According to some estimates, there are roughly 4,200 religions in the world. The word religion is sometimes used interchangeably with "faith" or "belief system", but religion differs from private belief in that it has a public aspect. "If theology isn't so important, why does the Bible contain so much of it"?. Todd Friel Outside the word there is, no mention of the father son or holy spirit.
Yes you're right about the number of RELIGIONS. I think that estimate is probably a good one. He's talking about Christian denominations like Baptist, Methodist, Catholic and Presbyterian. That's what that huge number of 90,000 comes from. B please know that the truth of what he's saying only comes if you have the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit or the Spirit of Christ with you. It comes by many names but it always is a gift. Without it we can only see nonsense or fantasy in place of truth. So if his talk seems silly or based on nothing at all it's because you don't have that Spirit. You can have it if you'd like to have it. It's free and given lovingly to all who would like to understand the things of God. All you have to do is become humble and ask God to send it to you so you can know the truthfulness of anything.
@@orangestreaktony80 Jesus Christ is an uncreated being that has always existed with God the Father from all eternity. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 Christ was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by Christ; and without him was not any thing made that was made. Christ took on human flesh 2,000 years ago. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Jesus Christ existed before Lucifer. John 17:5 Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was. Micah 5:2 “But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Too little to be among the clans of Judah, From you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel. His goings forth are from long ago, From the days of eternity.” John the Baptist, who was six months older than Jesus, said Jesus existed before he did. John 1 John testified about Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.’” When you make fun of Christ and say that He is a created being, the brother of Lucifer you are deny the teachings of Christ. Christ was God in the flesh. I Timothy 3:16 God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. Matthew 1:23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which translated means, “God with us.” John 10:33 The Jews answered him, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.” John 20:28 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” Col. 2:9 For in Jesus dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Even God called Jesus, God. Hebrews 1:8 But of the Son He says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, And the righteous scepter is the scepter of His kingdom. Jesus is 100% God and 100% man. As a man, Jesus ate, thirsted, slept, wept, prayed to God and died. As God, Jesus rebuked Satan, forgave sin, performed miracles, accepted worship from the people, raised the dead and even raised himself from the dead. John 2:19 Jesus said your sins would not be forgiven if you did not believe He was God. John 8:19 So they were saying to Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father; if you knew Me, you would know My Father also.” 24 Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”
@@orangestreaktony80 The gospel of Jesus Christ is that the only way to be made right with God is through Jesus Christ and the blood He shed on the cross through Calvary, not by temple work, ordinances, commandments, tithing, doing good works, going to church, baptism, facing Mecca, lying on beds of nails, fasting, etc.. * Romans 3:28 For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law. Titus 3:5 He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. Eternal life is a free gift. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the FREE GIFT of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 3:24 being justified as a GIFT by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; Eph. 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the GIFT of God; 9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. Jesus Christ canceled the record of debt that was held against us. All you need to do is accept Christ by faith. It isn't because of who you are and what you have done for God. It is because of who He is and what He did for you in sending Jesus to be the sacrificial offering for your sins. To be your substitute on the cross and to satisfy the demands of God's law that stands against you. Christ has done the one work that was necessary to reconcile you to God. Christ has done the one act of righteousness that could bring justification and life to all men. All Christ is asking with open arms is for you to lay down your religiosity and works at the foot of the cross and allow Christ to take it. Salvation is quite simple. Luke 18 And He also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt: 10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself: ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.’ 13 But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, the sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.” I challenge you to read your Bible as a child.
The Church of Jesus Christ denies Christ and says that He is a created being, the brother of Lucifer. I urge you to read your Bible and learn about the true Christ.
I would urge that you read the Book of Mormon to gain real knowledge and to see that what you have been told is not true. I would urge you to gain your own testimony of both the BOM AND the Holy Bible, to study both as all members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints do.
@@eagleriver90 Yes, I have read the Book of Mormon and God has told me it is false. As a Christian, I worship the true and living God who is invisible and a spirit and lives outside of the universe because He created the universe. "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." - John 4:24 "A spirit does not have flesh and bones" - Luke 24:39 I Timothy 1:17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. **** Here is my testimony. I know that my sins have been forgiven. I know that I have been perfected. I know that I will live with Heavenly Father for all eternity. Hebrews 10 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. 15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, 16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; 17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. 18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. **** I urge you to read your Bible and learn about the true and living God and the true Christ, who is not the brother of Lucifer. Forgiveness of sins, salvation and everlasting life are free gifts to all those who repent and believe.
@@orangestreaktony80 I am only allowed to accept what God commands me to accept. The first commandment says, Thou shalt have no other gods before Me. This mean that I am not allowed to worship the LDS Heavenly Father because he is only a created being, who worked his way to godhood and came from another planet. He is not the Creator.
Mormons do not believe in Jesus Christ. Let me qualify that statement, the Mormon church teaches a very different low and weak Jesus compared with the Jesus revealed in the Holy Bible. The Truth about the Messiah is only found in the pages of the Bible. John 8:36 says it beautifuly ' And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free', Jesus is the truth. Mormon Doctrine teaches that 'certain sins place a man beyond the reach of the atoning blood of Christ.' (Mormon doctrine by Bruce R Mc Conkie P.93). Church founder Joseph Smith taught that certain sins 'place the transgessors beyond the power of the atonement of Christ,'....... 'this is scriptural doctrine and is taught in all the standard works of the church '. (Doctrines of salvation,😮 Joseph F. Smith Vol 1,P.135) This is certainly not taught in God's word the Holy Bible. The Bible says that the blood of Christ of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from all sin, (see Romans 5:8-9, 1John 1:7-10 etc). The Bible also teaches that Jesus Christ is God's only Son, (John 3:16) not 'a' son. In so many ways the faith Joseph Smith established dishonours the Lord Jesus and denies the full saving power of his blood shed on calvary for the remission of the sin of the world, all sin. All this while claiming to be the church of Jesus Christ. Hebrews Ch 1 is a great testimony of who Jesus Christ is and his power. Kind regards to all.
Muslims believe Jesus (Isa) to be a messenger of God, not the son of God. Christianity and Islam have different scriptures, with Christianity using the Bible and Islam using the Quran, though Muslims believe that both the Quran and the Christian Gospel, termed Injeel, were sent by God. Jesus wasn't killed, God used one of Jesus' enemies as a substitute and raised Jesus to heaven, promising to send him back to Earth. Jesus also mentioned that another prophet will come, and that is Muhammad (peace be upon him) who came with the Qur'an which was promised to never be distorted. And the Qur'an holds many signs to it's accuracy, including ones that have been recently proven by science. For instance, the Qur'an which was verbally revealed from God to Muhammad through the angel Gabriel gradually over a period of approximately 23 years, beginning on 22 December 609 CE, when Muhammad was 40, and concluding in 632 CE, the year of his death. And some of the verses state scientific revelations such as the fact that the Earth is the shape of an ostritch egg, it mentions the big bang theory, the expansion and the end of the universe, bees having more than one stomach, how fold mountains project pegs into the Earth and much much more all which have been or are yet to be proven by science.

Another testimony of modern day revelations and the Holy Spirit
You probably dont give a shit but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times you can stream all of the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Have been watching with my girlfriend for the last couple of months :)
@Marcus Blaze yup, been watching on InstaFlixxer for since december myself :)
so he says.
What's really amazing is that you find this nonsense amazing .
Hi Brad Wilcox, Thank you for sharing the word about Jesus Christ. I came upon your name about a week ago and I have been listening to you ever sense. I Love your enthusiasm for the Lord. And your messages and the stories that you tell. They’re both friendly and inviting. Thank you for being an advocate for the Lord. I am a supporter! And I’m also a Convert !
Thank you so much Brother Wilcox. I am so grateful for the truth and for living Prophets, Apostles Seers and Revelators who guide us today. I am so thankful for the Gift of the Holy Ghost who testifies of these truths to our hearts and souls. ❤
am an lds member serviving as a branch president in sikhendu branch, ilove watching lds videos they are uplifting and srengthening.
You're talk on Grace is my literal life support. I have to say that I've needed it this past week and it really helped set me back on track. I'm ready to try again this new coming week, and will keep trying for as long as I live!! Thank you for all your wisdom, and helping me see how much Christ is needed in my life. Have a blessed day!

My friends good afternoon thank you i feel the same way as you are feeling right now. Without a real relationship with Jesus we all feel hopeless... that is why we Need Jesus not Joseph Smith...
I was raised in the church I went on a mission for the church I served in the bishopric elders quorum and different leadership positions in the church I have read the book of Mormon and I have found it to be absolutely inconsistent with the true word of God the Bible.
Here are a couple of historical facts in the actual church history of the LDS church you may want to research::
1) Joseph Smith marrying girls under the age of 15 example: Fanny Alger (God forbids such abuse)
2) Joseph Smith sending men on missions then while they are gone marrying their wives committing polyandry (Against Gods Will)
3) Brigham Young teaching the theory of Adam is God our father that is false and not taught in the Bible (False Doctrine)
4) Joseph Smith was a 33rd° Mason and he stole the Freemason temple ceremony and implemented it in the LDS temple ceremony
5) True Christianity never fell from the earth Matt 16:17-19 Joseph Smith lied that the gospel needed to be restored it never left
These are just a few of hundreds of historical examples that disproves the divinity of the profits of the church there is only one way to heaven as it says in John chapter 14 verse six Jesus is the way and the truth and the life no man following a false religion will enter the kingdom of heaven
Look up www.CESletters.org or com
Love you and Jesus does to, He wants you to feel his peace and he wants your family to feel that same piece the celestial kingdom is a man-made false reality as soon as you can put off yourself and your pride humble yourself and follow Jesus and accept Him into your heart you too will enter the kingdom of heaven along with your wife and family guaranteed

Love you
Amen

Robert Lewis Hello Robert thank you so much for commenting back Joseph Smith was a false prophet has Matthew chapter 24 talks about he spread a lot of lies a lot of deceit hurt a lot of people everybody needs to remember that it is through a relationship with Jesus Christ that we find peace and joy and contentment in our lives John 14:6 how long have you been a follower of Christ?
The story about Jack was so touching. I love listening to brother Wilcox speak! It really brings the spirit and grants a wonderful perspective for some sometimes-difficult-to-understand subjects!
Brad Wilcox testifies so beautifully of our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ. He delivers the message of Grace so clearly to members and prospective members alike.
Brad Wicox, is a gem, always joyful in the spirit. I been learning from him soooo many years, thank you ...thankful we have him. 🇬🇧 34:15
Brad Wilcox is such an amazing speaker. His testimony is a wonderful example of a life dedicated to Christ, bearing witness of the divinity of Jesus Christ and giving Christ like service.
I love Brad Wilcox. All his talks are so alive, funny and so truly inspiring. Can't stop watching and listening to him. God bless you for everything you share with us. Thank you 😍🙏
Thank you Brother Wilcox, that was really beautiful.
I love you Brad you are AMAZING God bless you brother!!😊👍👍❤❤
Christ doesn’t need to have another testament . We need it.
thank you Bro. Willcox for simple simplifying difficult subject in lame terms so even infantile individuals like myself can understand the clarification of the matter at hand.
The best words I ever heard 🙏🏻
Love watching this over and over. Thank you!
Thank you Bro Brad, to share what you know about the true gospel. You have an excelent way to teach. Thanks. Irajá, Recife, Brazil
I love Brother Wilcox such a great speaker and speaks in a way I understand which strengthens my testimony

Fantastic. Thank you for uploading this.
Really love each one of your talks
Never stop, Unless you write a book 📖❤️
brother Brad he is a powerful speaker
I have never not been edified by one of Brad Wilcox's talks.
Agreed!
Alpine talk was terrible
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TESTIMONY AND CLARYFING MY TESTIMONY WHICH I COULDN'T ARTICULATE
Love it, Thanks Brad.
Great talk. Thank you brother Wilcox
LOVE THIS TALK! God Bless you.
Thankyou for a nice clear talk BRAD THANKYOU keep on 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
We are custodians of the complete truth.
Thank you
That is a great talk and a testimony . Everyone who has personal experience of the Holy Ghost to believe in Jesus Christ has the true relationship with Jesus Christ, and that’s most powerful .
Exactly. I found out the book of Mormon was true, FIRST! Later, l came to realise that l also needed a testimony of the Bible too. I got that! I am soooo grateful. 🇬🇧 19:02
Why do Latter-day Saints deny Christ and say he is a created being, the brother of Lucifer?
Such a sad story.
Everyone can chose. God did not force Satan to chose his path. Just like he does not forces you to follow his prophet and His church today!
greatest talk thank yiu!
Great talk. Just one thing. 12 - 13 year olds are not little kids. They are Young Men and Young Women.
Why does your testimony rest on men - on “prophets”? Why don’t you have faith for yourself that Jesus Christ is your Savior and suffered on the cross and died on the cross for your sins as the Bible says? Why do you have to rely on the teachings of other men for you to believe?
Did you watch the whole thing?
Beautiful testimony's
Urim and Tumin are mentioned in the Old Testament, in the Book of Ezra. Also mentioned in a short UA-cam video. Look it up.
I was wondering where you were going with "how do we know that Jesus is the Christ ?" Your answer is so true: We have a prophet that saw Him and the Book of Mormon that tell us what is true in the Holy Bible" Since I'm a convert I was thinking in reverse. Thank You for giving me a better answer.
There's a great book by an LDS author that shows that there's perfect harmony between the prophetic statements concerning the garden of Eden being in Missouri and the Old Testament account concerning the garden of Eden. It's called Canaan, Babylon, and Egypt A Comparative Theological Analysis on Creation sold by Eborn Books.
The real question is, "Why do Latter day Saints deny Christ and say he is a created being, the brother of Lucifer?
It is blasphemy of the highest order.
"If you sincerely drink poison, it will kill you: if you sincerely cut your throat, you will die. If you sincerely believe a lie, you will suffer the consequences. You must not only be sincere, but you must be right."
Everyone can chose. God did not force Satan to chose his path. Just like he does not forces you to follow his prophet and His church today!
@@henryponnefz1419 God has commanded me not to worship the LDS Heavenly Father because he is only an exalted man from another planet that lives near a star named Kolob.
I worship the true and living God, who spoke the universe into existence, including the planet that the LDS Heavenly Father came from and the star Kolob that he lives near.
Exodus 20
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

“The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s . . . ” (D&C 132:20).
God is in the form of a man,

“God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens!!! . . . We have imagined that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea and take away the veil, so that you may see,” (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 345).

God resides near a star called Kolob, (Pearl of Great Price, p. 34-35; Mormon Doctrine, p. 428).
God had sexual relations with Mary to make the body of Jesus, (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, vol. 4, 1857, p. 218; vol. 8, p. 115).
Suspending our sceptibility! Exactament...🇬🇧 21:21
God is love.
We all fall short and sin.
Love is just and merciful.
Because God is loving He must judge sin, we all stand judged and are due to face His wrath as slaves of sin.
Because God is merciful He provided a way out from under the weight of the law and His wrath and a way for us to be regenerated.
If we trust Jesus shed His sinless blood, died and rose from the grave He forgives us of our sins and gives us a new heart that wants to look God as our Father genuinely and delight in Him, freeing us from being slaves to sin.
The rest is our mind catching up with that reality and taking hold of His teaching and truth until He returns, or we die.
We aren't saved or kept saved by obedience, intentions to submit to Jesus. We can only be lost through unbelief (trusting in our own righteousness, to be or remain saved) or blasphemy of the Holy Spirit (attributing clear works of God, healing/deliverance, to demons and Satan).
Excellent. I believe Joseph is a prophet BECAUSE of The Book of Mormon.
Vote to Brad Wilcox for future US presidence
he is politically correct
Yes please
We wish...but he's too great to be involved in the evils in earthly politics...
Exelente
It's incredible how people can be "amazed" by all these false teachers. Guys, you dont believe in Christ, you believe in Joseph Smith and his doctrine, no matter how much you try to convince people that you are christians
That’s a lie, we believe Jesus is the Christ and love him and trust him, we teach faith in Christ everyday, we live it. Our whole lives are faith in Christ.
@@joannenardoni17 You can "teach and preach about christ" all you want, but the core of your faith is Joseph Smith, his false doctrines and false so called prophets.
@@victorstarly23 Wow! I didn’t think it was possible that ANY person on this earth was qualified to judge another’s personal relationship with Christ. You must be pretty special!
@@rosiek4249 well, mormons are experts in disqualifying other's people beliefs calling them abominable. Smith's followers are pretty special!
@@victorstarly23 Um no....! I’m sure we all have some differences in doctrines but not when it comes to the saving power, love, and divinity of Jesus Christ. I’m sure that if you were sharing his light and love here, all people, Mormons included, would feel of your testimony and your love for Him and be drawn to Him through your words. But sadly, you are not doing that.
Brad, in your talk you say that the Bible isn't written by God, but interpreted by Peter, James, John, etc. In reference to that statement, I give you 2 Peter 1: 16-21 "For we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty. For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such an utterance as this was made to Him by the Majestic Glory, “This is My beloved Son with whom I am well-pleased”- and we ourselves heard this utterance made from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain. So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God."
And in reference to following Christ because Joseph Smith saw him, I give you Revelation 22:18-19 "I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book." The Bible is it. It is all we need. We do not only not need an additional Book...of Mormon, we shouldn't be daring to think that he, Joseph, had a prophetic message from God when God basically said, "it is finished".
When he said that he was quoting the director of that film he mentioned, The Last Temptation of Christ who was denying the validity of the Bible. I know Brother Wilcox believes the Bible to be the word of God, as is the Book of Mormon
+Madelynne and Brett Cain , the book of mormon doesn't contain the exclusive doctrines of the lds church
@Heidi Reis, you are correct. The Book of Mormon does not have all of our doctrines in it, but it has the foundation of it. We believe that God has given us Prophets and Apostles today, just as in days of old. In this way, God is able to give us more instruction, and this is why we have Temples, organized meeting houses, and worldwide missionary work to name a few. The Articles of Faith 8&9 read:
8 We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
9 We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
Have a blessed day Heidi!
+Christian Toledo-Peluso , double talk , switch and bate is a very effective lds tool
@Heidi Reis I am sorry that you think I was using double talk or bait and switch. I felt that I was quite open, straightforward and honest in my comment to you. Perhaps I can simplify it more.
We believe that God has always called prophets as His mouth piece on the earth (Amos 3:7). We believe that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God, and that through the power of God, translated the Book of Mormon, and restored the Church of Jesus Christ on the earth today. We believe that since then, there has been a Prophet on the earth that continues do the will of Jesus Christ. Our doctrines come from the prophets, and our prophets are given to us by Jesus Christ.
To summarize, we have the Bible and the Book of Mormon, which contains the words of the prophets of old. Also, we have modern day revelation and scripture, such as the Doctrine and Covenants, that we believe God has given us, and will continue to give us to prepare us for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
I am sorry that you have such a negative view of the Church, and that you thought I was being deceptive in any way. I was only trying to share with you my understanding of what I believe is true. Take care and God bless.
An Associate Professor of Religious Studies with no publications in peer-reviewed journals and holding degrees in an unrelated field? He speaks like a junior high school teacher. And a long tie with a short sleeve shirt? At 60+ he should have a long record of published works and show real scholarship in his field.
That would be speaking from authority. The question is is what he is saying true? Jesus never had any of the credentials you mentioned either.
I don't think he gave a strong case for Joseph Smith. Don't get me wrong the talk was okay but the explanation of Jesus and Joseph Smith wasn't too good.
How could it have been better? In your opinion?
Why why believe in christ
These a time we have to take by all types people because we have to get to believe we should take that message to enter kingdom if you have a since to paid at board for that gate be heavenly as home sweet home would no pain by catch up through all marked or once of christ you could be okay out of ouch ever
Smile joseph smith witness but he care if you see not care don't be choice but pick care should be okay you can change to see good words watch you see all good at once take it blessing all of you but Jesus forgiveness if you willing to be have lamb of god
"God sent God to die for God so that God could forgive God's creations according to God's unbending rules."
~ LanceThruster
Too Rube Goldberg for my tastes.
This is a misunderstanding of God’s triune nature, as it conflates the Father and the Son. The Father sent the Son (John 7:33), the Son accomplished the Father’s will (John 17:4), and the Son died for sinners (Romans 5:8). The Father did not die; the Son laid down His life as a satisfaction for sin (1 John 4:10).
God’s requirement that a sacrifice is necessary to atone for sin is not a rule that He simply “made up.” God’s Law is not something that He arbitrarily created; the Law is an extension of His holy nature. God did not invent morality; He revealed Himself to us, and that revelation of His person is what morality is.
When God said, “The wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23), He was not concocting a rule or imposing a new punishment on us; rather, He was revealing to us an unalterable, eternal reality-if you depart from the Sustainer of life, then you logically cut yourself off from the possibility of a continued existence. Those who reject Life only have one other option, and that is Death.
Saying that God made the “rules” by which sin is atoned for is somewhat like saying that Isaac Newton wrote the law of gravity. Newton described the effects and nature of gravity, but the law of gravity preceded and transcended his description. In similar fashion, the Bible describes the nature of sin and righteousness, but the universal laws concerning sin and righteousness, death and life, and justice and mercy precede and transcend the writing. God’s laws flow eternally from the nature of God Himself.
@@jlewis8145 - like I said, too Rube Goldberg. It's saying, "I'd like to forgive you, but first I gotta kill my kid."
@@williamcharles2117 God is the ultimate judge. Every sin you have ever committed must be paid for. God has already sentenced you to death for all your sin.
Romans 6:23 The wages of sin is death.
“There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, in the end, "Thy will be done." All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. Those who knock it is opened.”

Why does Brad Wilcox deny Christ and say he is a created being, the brother of Lucifer?
please dont confuse the gentailles please.
What do you mean?
Ugh! This is so frustrating to listen to. He’s speaking to the Italian people as if they’re preschoolers. Also, I’ve hosted Japanese exchange students of and on for over 27 years. He’s been misinformed.
This is how Brad always speaks, listen to any other talk by him. He always uses simple stories and examples. I also suspect he's speaking more slowly to give a translator time to translate for him. He probably did oversimplify Japanese understanding of Christianity, but he was just using some of his own son's experiences and didn't have time to get into the nuance of it
Mormonism's Fred Flintstone.
Mr Brad Wilcox, and all Mormons ditch the Mormon book into the fire or bin, where it belongs. Pick up the true book The New Testament and read Matthew 23 - 24 - 14.
And this Gospel of the Kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the WHOLE world, as a testimony to all NATIONS, and the end will come. Amen.

The bible and the bible alone
4,200 religions
According to some estimates, there are roughly 4,200 religions in the world. The word religion is sometimes used interchangeably with "faith" or "belief system", but religion differs from private belief in that it has a public aspect.
"If theology isn't so important, why does the Bible contain so much of it"?.
Todd Friel
Outside the word there is, no mention of the father son or holy spirit.
Yes you're right about the number of RELIGIONS. I think that estimate is probably a good one. He's talking about Christian denominations like Baptist, Methodist, Catholic and Presbyterian. That's what that huge number of 90,000 comes from. B please know that the truth of what he's saying only comes if you have the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit or the Spirit of Christ with you.
It comes by many names but it always is a gift. Without it we can only see nonsense or fantasy in place of truth. So if his talk seems silly or based on nothing at all it's because you don't have that Spirit. You can have it if you'd like to have it. It's free and given lovingly to all who would like to understand the things of God.
All you have to do is become humble and ask God to send it to you so you can know the truthfulness of anything.
His racist talks to LDS youths are unacceptable.
This guy explains christianity like someone trying to explain a certain food to another without ever tasting it himself 😕
The better question would be, Why do you deny Christ and say he is a created being, the brother of Lucifer?
What does denying Christ mean?
@@orangestreaktony80 Jesus Christ is an uncreated being that has always existed with God the Father from all eternity.
John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Christ was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by Christ; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Christ took on human flesh 2,000 years ago.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Jesus Christ existed before Lucifer.
John 17:5 Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.
Micah 5:2 “But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Too little to be among the clans of Judah, From you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel. His goings forth are from long ago, From the days of eternity.”
John the Baptist, who was six months older than Jesus, said Jesus existed before he did.
John 1 John testified about Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.’”
When you make fun of Christ and say that He is a created being, the brother of Lucifer you are deny the teachings of Christ.
Christ was God in the flesh.
I Timothy 3:16 God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles,
believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Matthew 1:23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which translated means, “God with us.”
John 10:33 The Jews answered him, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”
John 20:28 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
Col. 2:9 For in Jesus dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Even God called Jesus, God.
Hebrews 1:8 But of the Son He says,
“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
And the righteous scepter is the scepter of His kingdom.
Jesus is 100% God and 100% man. As a man, Jesus ate, thirsted, slept, wept, prayed to God and died.
As God, Jesus rebuked Satan, forgave sin, performed miracles, accepted worship from the people, raised the dead and even raised himself from the dead. John 2:19
Jesus said your sins would not be forgiven if you did not believe He was God.
John 8:19 So they were saying to Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father; if you knew Me, you would know My Father also.”
24 Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”
@@orangestreaktony80 The gospel of Jesus Christ is that the only way to be made right with God is through Jesus Christ and the blood He shed on the cross
through Calvary, not by temple work, ordinances, commandments, tithing, doing good works, going to church, baptism, facing Mecca, lying on beds of nails, fasting, etc..
*
Romans 3:28 For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.
Titus 3:5 He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ,
even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law:
by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Eternal life is a free gift.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the FREE GIFT of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 3:24 being justified as a GIFT by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus;
Eph. 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the GIFT of God;
9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Jesus Christ canceled the record of debt that was held against us. All you need to do is accept Christ by faith. It isn't because of who you are and what you have done for God.
It is because of who He is and what He did for you in sending Jesus to be the sacrificial offering for your sins.
To be your substitute on the cross and to satisfy the demands of God's law that stands against you.
Christ has done the one work that was necessary to reconcile you to God. Christ has done the one act of righteousness
that could bring justification and life to all men. All Christ is asking with open arms is for you to lay down your religiosity and works
at the foot of the cross and allow Christ to take it.
Salvation is quite simple.
Luke 18 And He also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt:
10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11 The Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself: ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
12 I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.’
13 But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, the sinner!’
14 I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
I challenge you to read your Bible as a child.
The Church of Jesus Christ denies Christ and says that He is a created being, the brother of Lucifer.
I urge you to read your Bible and learn about the true Christ.
I would urge that you read the Book of Mormon to gain real knowledge and to see that what you have been told is not true. I would urge you to gain your own testimony of both the BOM AND the Holy Bible, to study both as all members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints do.
@@eagleriver90 Yes, I have read the Book of Mormon and God has told me it is false.
As a Christian, I worship the true and living God who is invisible and a spirit and lives outside of the universe because He created the universe.
"God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." - John 4:24
"A spirit does not have flesh and bones" - Luke 24:39
I Timothy 1:17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

Here is my testimony.
I know that my sins have been forgiven.
I know that I have been perfected.
I know that I will live with Heavenly Father for all eternity.
Hebrews 10
For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

I urge you to read your Bible and learn about the true and living God and the true Christ, who is not the brother of Lucifer.
Forgiveness of sins, salvation and everlasting life are free gifts to all those who repent and believe.
We are only given the portion we are willing to accept
@@orangestreaktony80 I am only allowed to accept what God commands me to accept.
The first commandment says, Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.
This mean that I am not allowed to worship the LDS Heavenly Father because he is only a created being, who worked his way to godhood and came from another planet.
He is not the Creator.
Do you? You must be feeble minded.
No man ever saw god and lived nor even Moses on sìnia
How do you come to the conclusion that Moses did not see God?
Mormons do not believe in Jesus Christ.
Let me qualify that statement, the Mormon church teaches a very different low and weak Jesus compared with the Jesus revealed in the Holy Bible.
The Truth about the Messiah is only found in the pages of the Bible.
John 8:36 says it beautifuly ' And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free', Jesus is the truth.
Mormon Doctrine teaches that 'certain sins place a man beyond the reach of the atoning blood of Christ.'
(Mormon doctrine by Bruce R Mc Conkie P.93).
Church founder Joseph Smith taught that certain sins 'place the transgessors beyond the power of the atonement of Christ,'....... 'this is scriptural doctrine and is taught in all the standard works of the church '.
(Doctrines of salvation,😮 Joseph F. Smith Vol 1,P.135)
This is certainly not taught in God's word the Holy Bible.
The Bible says that the blood of Christ of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from all sin, (see Romans 5:8-9, 1John 1:7-10 etc).
The Bible also teaches that Jesus Christ is God's only Son, (John 3:16) not 'a' son.
In so many ways the faith Joseph Smith established dishonours the Lord Jesus and denies the full saving power of his blood shed on calvary for the remission of the sin of the world, all sin.
All this while claiming to be the church of Jesus Christ.
Hebrews Ch 1 is a great testimony of who Jesus Christ is and his power.
Kind regards to all.
In which of the 26 different bibles that exist?
What a joke. Nothing of substance and value.
Muslims believe Jesus (Isa) to be a messenger of God, not the son of God. Christianity and Islam have different scriptures, with Christianity using the Bible and Islam using the Quran, though Muslims believe that both the Quran and the Christian Gospel, termed Injeel, were sent by God.
Jesus wasn't killed, God used one of Jesus' enemies as a substitute and raised Jesus to heaven, promising to send him back to Earth.
Jesus also mentioned that another prophet will come, and that is Muhammad (peace be upon him) who came with the Qur'an which was promised to never be distorted.
And the Qur'an holds many signs to it's accuracy, including ones that have been recently proven by science.
For instance, the Qur'an which was verbally revealed from God to Muhammad through the angel Gabriel gradually over a period of approximately 23 years, beginning on 22 December 609 CE, when Muhammad was 40, and concluding in 632 CE, the year of his death.
And some of the verses state scientific revelations such as the fact that the Earth is the shape of an ostritch egg, it mentions the big bang theory, the expansion and the end of the universe, bees having more than one stomach, how fold mountains project pegs into the Earth and much much more all which have been or are yet to be proven by science.
