Mike Wenger is a lot more honest than these guys when it comes to scripture. The problem I have found with James White and these other people as they believe God has predestined people to hell. That to me is complete total insanity when taken with the whole of scripture. I can make a case for that in certain cases with the Bible, but the overall point of the Bible is a love relationship with our Savior Jesus Christ as he opens the door for our relationship with the eternal Father! Don’t ever get away from that relationship aspect of your born-again relationship with God! I’m telling you it is rabbit holes that are absolutely maddening when taken to their “logical”conclusions concerning predestination versus free will.Love from Texas!Brent

The holy spirit dwells in the body of the new believer and teaches you all things. Scripture that once made no sense to you, will be understood immediately. The Bible is also breathing, meaning things you read while indwelt will make perfect sense to you for the exact struggle you are having at a particular time. They are not just empty words on a page.

@@truthgiverandfinder3246 Sorry but this is a very difficult question to answer on KZread, we would have to sit down for at least 30 minutes, more likely several hours, to really address the topic. But needless to say, anything added after Revelation (such as in Mormonism or Islam) is false. There are 66 books in the Scripture (the extra books used by the fake Roman Catholic church are not included in this number). Authorship authority of each book was important in choosing what was included (such as the Apostolic writings of Paul). The Old Testament is settled from the Israel/Hebrew books, 39 in total. The other 27 are New Testament. Another important consideration in choosing a book to include was that each Scripture had to be consistent with both the Old and New Testament teachings. Then another factor was the manuscripts that were widley used and spread through the early Church were considered to be more important, they had widespread usage from early days. Massive persecution quickly determined which books were likely God-breathed than man-made. Some books were worth dying for. Would you die for a fake book? Combining all these factors together, in assessing what is true and not true, to get to the TRUE Christian Bible. However you then need to add to this that Christians were first called so in Antioch (Syria - now Turkey), which was the cradle of Christianity. It was from Antioch that the Greek Textus Receptus originated (talking New Testament here). These manuscripts were used to get the Englsh King James Version amongst other langurages during the Protestent Reformation. That is why the KJV is paramount for truth. Yes, you can analyse orginal Greek and Hebrew (if you can) to get deeper meaning into the KJV. However, the modern translations of English Bibles have corrupted some of the text, and use texts from Alexandria (Egypt) rather than Antioch. Alexandria was the "intellectual" centre of the ancient world, and we could study how the text is corrupted for hours. Modern day "enlighted intellectuals" have taken these texts (found in the 1800s) to re-write their new verions of the Bible, with errors and heresies included. Take for example that Origen (who took over from Clement) to lead the Catechetical School in Alexandra) was antichrist - Origen taught that he did not believe in an inerrant BIble (like most Bible colleges today). He wrote The Logos Doctrine, attacking the deity of Christ. So the corruption starts with people who wrote into texts things to suit their own personal postions, rather than be God-breathed. Then this has been taken over by the modern establishment since the 1800s (King James was from the 1600s). Take for instance Acts Chapter 8 verses 36-38. Compare the KJV using the Textus Receptus to the New International Verion corrupted by the Alexandrian text. The main thing you will notice is that the NIV 100% omits "And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” The Alexandrian text is inspired by Satan. THis is but a very small sample of the many complications in having such a discussion.

One of the first things I noticed was you have a system where intelligent people devote their lives to God, with a high percentage living clean lifestyles. Something else that got my attention was that they were the first ones (and the only ones since) who had good answers for the basic kinds of questions I had that nobody else did. Their answers not only made sense, but they fit together-and they have continued like that as I have continued to learn more over the years. When I pray about it, I get answers to my prayers confirming those things. The gospel as taught by the Church, well…it’s not my purpose to put down others beliefs; I don’t need to, so let it suffice to say it brings everything together. I have worked shoulder to shoulder with top leaders from mainstream or credal Christianity, and I see them struggling for the answers that come easily to me. Further, I find that what the Church teaches works; when I follow the teachings of the Savior as taught by the Church, life is better-and I am more gloriously happy than ever. I have challenged people numerous times to show me something as good or better; nobody has been able to even come close.

There cannot be two version of the Father there be two versions of The Son and there cannot be two version of the Holy Spirit. This is the main reason God states also that His scripture was completed by The Apostle John. It was by Gods Chosen of the Old Testament and the New Testament of course God would complete His word before the first century of the church. Thus Jesus dictating the seven letters to the 7 churches of Asia and delivers by the messenger Angel to John is told to write down these things. The book of Revelation can only be understood by the diligence of understanding the whole of Gods Word. It is God chosen who God has breathed into that write exactly what God has inducted not any man is capable of putting together Gods integrated message system that tells the true History mankind and also codes it in two languages that cannot contrive a coding that Proves only Our Eternal God is capable of doing. Mormon theology is not in alignment with Gods 66 book Bible. Jesus told Nicodemus you must be born from above. Nicodemus was not mistaken of who God is ….Elohim triune God three persons one God. Also Mormons believe this universe is eternal and know nothing about Christ 1,000 reign on earth nor the eschatology of these days once again not understand the whole of Gods completed 66 books details every event that is the progression towards the 70 th 7 year period that shifts all focus to the nation of who will welcome a false Messiah.

Since man is indeed fallible, does that mean by that rule of thumb that both the Book of Mormon and the Bible can both be written in a manor that is fallible? No only since there are many versions of the Bible but also because there are only “man witnesses” that say the Book of Mormon is correct. Not to include the changes made to the Book of Mormon to make it seem more hand and hand with the Bible to not expose error?

I love to listen to all kinds of different debates because I love to hear different viewpoints on a range of topics. What I found very interesting is each side used ways of disproving the other side using arguments from atheists debating a particular religion.

Same “Christian” religions down there taught completely different doctrine. Same biblical passages have different meaning down there so my question is are they not Christian’s cause they don’t believe in the Christ you have interpreted? Because their Bible states they are separate? Or is it because they don’t have the NLV version of the Bible which adds and takes away meaningful scripture? Excuse us of reading the Bible and understanding that Lucifer was an angel before he fell from heaven and that he was loved by God and is a child of His like we all are. Lastly I wonder how you’d be treated by the people in the days of Moses claiming the people worshipped Moses. It’s exactly what you are saying to us about Joseph. Never prayed to him, never used his name for forgiveness, never accepted or believed him to be my way to salvation. That’s saved for the savior Jesus Christ who is the only name given in which we are saved. As true Christian’s we also teach and follow his commandments and if we fault we repent with changing the behavior. Not this calling on His name and automatically allowed to do what we want or accept who we are. This is the difference between salvation and exaltation. Everything taught is focused on the the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

26:53 at this point, I must admit that as Christian’s, we gotta stop the division. This time point right here proves our division is more cancerous than constructive. The points made rarely build but rather tear down, but more precisely, cuts down what is to be revered with no attention that it is that very branch that supports us. The spirit of God reveals these things, but I hope we incline our ear and make correction swiftly!

Beyond that, the LDS claim to be the restored Church falls apart completely in other areas. Yet, the Mormons are absolutely right that Sola Scriptura & biblical infallibility are man-made doctrines which are (ironically) not even supported by the 66 books of the Protestant Canon.

@@thekolobsociety One way of knowing the Scripture is true is that true Christianity is the only so-called religion (term used by man) that is mocked, blasphemed, and shamed into nonexistence through cultures of the world to destory it and remove it, or to move away from it. Whether moving to a real man-made relgion (Islam, Mormonism, New Age, Universalism etc) or one of the current trend religions (Green Movement; Mother Earth; LGBTQ+, Social Justice, BLM etc). But better still, have it corrupted through the many relgions of so-called Christianity is a better strategy for Satan, including all the false or distorted translations of Scripture to suit your own cause and hide your own sin. Man needs a cause, a religion, when they don't accept the one true God. When people swear, whose name do they use? You guessed it, the one True God. Why? Ever thought of that?

Question for the lds panel. If God and His will is infallible why would you assume He would let His words be made fallible by the men writing it? What sense would it make for an infallible God with ultimate power let His words be written wrong. Also I’d ask you this is everything written in the Bible open to interpretation? Like when God declares something like in Isaiah 43:10 -11? Would He an all powerful God let His declarations be open to interpretation let alone be made fallible because you think a man wrote it wrong?

This was one of the best debates I have seen in some time. Topic was so appropriate for our time. “Who says?” It was pleasant to see some really competent Mormon apologists who at times really got under the skin of the other side. Likewise it was great to see the Protestant side really hammer home the shaky sand of human subjectivism. Tactically I think the LDS won points on charity and keeping a little bit cooler under pressure, while really using the Calvinistic position against the other guys. As I am newer to tackling Calvinism vs Arminianism for myself, I do wonder if a couple non-Calvinists wouldn’t have been able to sidestep much of the election / reprobation discussion that these two LDS guys did their homework on. Few other angles that could have been argued from my armchair :) More about how the Bible is divine rather than human in origin, More on polytheism vs monotheism, more on Jesus’ handling of the scriptures, how scriptures were used to correct error in the scriptures, textual transmission, apostolic authority, etc. I suppose you just have to pick your approach and go for it. I appreciate all participants and walked away impressed there are more reasonable LDS that I have ever encountered. I also feel renewed that as much as I really enjoy my Calvinistic brothers and their faithfulness to scriptures, Im on the right path to slow down and take my time to work through the entire Calvin/Arminius debate. This debated helped on so many fronts. I want to thank everyone again for recording and posting.

There's getting under the skin and there's hurting your own cause. I know it's not the crux of the debate, but starting off with, essentially, an accusation that the God the other side worships arranged for the Holocaust to happen and was cruel to its victims was _extremely_ off-putting toward the LDS side (and actually a little disappointing based on the impression I had from Mormons I've known). And I say that is as someone who is neither Mormon nor Calvinist -(which I assume the opposition was--I didn't hear them say, but the LDS side referred to them that way).-
