I’m Mormon. This was a well explanation. Jesus is the messiah! May he bless you.

I'm baptist, but someone approached me today and told me he was from the church of LDS. I didn't know what that was, so i told him i would do some research; I like learning about different denominations of christianity. I didnt realize the LDS was just the name of the church for mormons. I don't accept the book of mormon, but I can respect my fellow Christians all the same. We all believe in the same core concept, and I pray we are all redeemed, despite slight differences in practices and interpretations of the word.

Joseph Smith & Brigham Young not only changed it but added to it and rearranged God's word. ✝️ I am praying salvation in Jesus Christ and a True love for Him is sufficient here as well. 🙏🏼👑 God's will be done forever and ever, Amen.🤍

In the 1838 account of JS vision, he claimed Jesus told him that all churches were wrong (don’t join any), all Christian creeds are an abomination and all its professors are corrupt. The church had fallen into complete apostasy with the gospel needing to be restored and the Church reorganized. If Jesus is the Head of the Church (Ephesians 1:22-23) and promises to protect His Bride so that even the gates of hell would not prevail against it (Matthew 16:17-18), how could the Gospel have been corrupted and His Church fallen into complete apostasy? 1. What entity other than the gates of hell prevailed against His Church, causing the true gospel and His Church to be wrong/lost? 2. What power greater than Christ, did His church succumb too? 3. Did Jesus break His promise of protection, evidenced in Her need to be reorganized? 4. Would Jesus talk poorly about His Bride to anyone? The LDS claim of needed restoration is ultimately accusing Christ of being a liar, weak, incompetent and unfaithful. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

Cult no. Heretics? Yes. No offense. When you say the bible has errors. You are saying a perfect infinite God cannot preserve his perfect infinite word. Anything you build upon that, by discounting Timothy as a reliable teaching, even though it says scripture makes up perfect, is a castle built on sand. Saying we can be more perfect than perfect from scripture, by creating new doctrine. Is exactly what the bible warns against, so many times. You make God fallable, by your own admission that his word has not been preserved. And take away Pauls authority, given to him by God by discounting what he teaches in Timothy because he teaches it to a certain people. But with God, a teaching is for all men for all time. Its not just a here and now thing, its God's literal word. And thats not even getting into the whole we can be sinless and just be taken to heaven. When John said, If we claim to be without sin, we decieve ourselves and the truth is not in us. There is no foundation, you ripped it up. And tried to build a house on sand.

As you continue to study, please consider this. In the 1838 account of Joseph Smiths first vision, Smith claims that Jesus told him this, (Jesus speaking of all Christian churches) “I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: “they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.” Joseph was told that the Gospel needed to be restored and the Church reorganized. The Church had fallen into complete apostasy. Now consider this. If Christ is the head of His Church/Bride (Ephesians 1:22-23) and promises to build and protect His Church (Matthew 16:17-19 -…and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it), ask the missionaries next time you see them these 4 questions: 1. What greater thing than the gates of hell was able to prevail against(defeat) His Church. 2. To what power, greater than Jesus, did His Church succumb too? 3. Did Jesus break His promise, failing to protect His Bride? 4. Would Jesus, the head of His Church, speak so poorly of His Bride to Joseph Smith? Please continue in your research and study, and pray th that these missionaries come to a real faith in Christ. Blessing

I’ve always been co fused about their idea of afterlife. For example, if a man and wife sealed, they spend eternity forever. Is this a separate or individual“heaven” for just those 2? Or heaven for all Mormons? If they have kids do the kids spend eternity in the parents heaven? Of so, what happens when the kids get married and sealed. Do they know go t a different heaven than either of their parents, like their own heaven as a couple? Cause then it seems like husbands and are the only ones to spend eternity together🤷🏽‍♀️. Is that where the polygamist lifestyle came to be?

@IllustratetoEducate

They believe in 3 degrees of glory or heavens. The highest degree is called the celestial kingdom. This is where they believe in families being sealed together forever. As far as your question, it’s more or less the couple that is sealed together but their children and their spouses would also exist in the celestial kingdom as well. The ideal scenario is that everyone is sealed to their spouse and everyone enjoys heaven (whatever that might entail) together as one massive family where God also lives. The other kingdoms of glory - terrestrial and telestial are both supposed to be glorified as well and places better than earth. However, they are reserved for those who have not completed all the ordinances necessary for the highest degree or repented or fully accepted Jesus Christ’s sacrifice.

This is where I have a problem with the LDS doctrine. If they say the bible contains errors, such as conveniently they discount the Timothy letters especially. Which the oldest known copy is from 180ad. Because in them, it says that all scripture is profitable for teaching in righteousness. And that also scripture can make one perfect. Then them adding to scripture, is saying perfect, isnt perfect enough. And that we can be more perfect. And it also says, that God is not perfect. Because he didnt preserve his perfect word. Which is just...wrong. Idc how you look at it, anything they build past that, is a castle built on sand. Had a long discussion. And it got to where they believe you can be sinless like Jesus, and be deathless and just taken to heaven. Which, if that happened even 1 time in their history, they would be telling the world. Or should, and if they arent. Then they arent testifying like they should. They also say they withhold teachings. Which...again is not biblical at all. They are heretics. Plain and simple. Do not, and i mean do not go down this road. They take away Pauls authority given to him by God, and say the bible has errors. Exactly same stuff islam does. So they can push their own stuff.

If what Joseph Smith wrote was the word of God, why do you “renounce” certain teachings or polygamy?

The printing press thing for example was in Nauvoo Illinois, a city completely built and governed by Latter-day Saints, and happened several years after the Saints left Missouri. And Joseph Smith, as the Mayor of Nauvoo, was likely in his legal right to destroy the printing press as they were inciting riots and violence against Latter-day Saints.

The persecution was disproportionate towards them. Don’t victim blame. The Governor gave an extermination order. True they shouldn’t have retaliated in some ways they did. They shouldn’t have destroyed the press true, but there was much more persecution before that, which caused things to boil over.

So The Church of Jesus Christ of Saturday saints is actually just a bunch of Mormons? I will never go to that blasphemous Church.

The video forgot to mention that the church sells temple recommend for 10% of members income. If they don’t pay they don’t get to “hold current temple recommend” or they’re not “temple worthy”. What’s the difference between selling temple recommend and selling a cup of Starbucks coffee? It’s an outright trade. You pay it or you don’t get the coffee/ the recommend. Yet a small difference- nobody judges you if you don’t buy Starbucks coffee. But you’d be judged if you’re a Mormon and you don’t pay the church corporation your income. They’d tell you “steal the Lords money”. But in reality it’s the money to expand this church of men and support the lavish life style of the corporate leadership.

This isn’t true. Paying tithing isn’t fixed at 10%. The 10% thing is a guideline, not an absolute. You only need to pay what you feel in your heart is a full amount.

There are so many horrible racist, sexist, and just messed up amd crazy things about the church that even it's own members aren't aware of or they ashamedly excuse snd are embarrassed about.

I've read the witness statements and they are all over the place. The women only ever saw them covered up in cloth and they talked about him handing them to them to hide which one sister did quickly...even though the men said they weighed 60lbs. How could these women easily be lifting 60lbs? The women also talked about feeling the pages and they felt like heavy paper and moved like paper but made a tinkling sound. The men described them very differently. Most of the witnesses were his family members. They also said they saw angels, heard voices, and used their spiritual eyes,etc to see the plates. Even if there were plates, they could have easily been in another language from previous humans and he just made up what they said.

​@SecretButterflyGarden The witnesses are some of the best pieces of evidence for the Book of Mormon. Critics often have to dig up cherry picked 2nd and 3rd hand accounts because the first hand accounts overwhelmingly support the reality of the physical plates. For instance, the quote about Martin Harris only seeing the plates with his 'spiritual eyes' originates from John A Clark, a minister who was antagonistic and hostile towards Mormonism But if we look at what Martin Harris himself directly said about his experience we find something very different: "Gentlemen, "do you see that hand? Are you sure you see it? Or are your eyes playing you a trick or something? No. Well, as sure as you see my hand so sure did I see the Angel and the plates." When you read what the witnesses actually said (and not what other people said that the witnesses said) you come across with a very different picture. Critics often love to emphasize cherry picked quotes from the latter because they're very uncomfortable with the picture that the former paints

@@jordanmatthew6315 Because they didn't let blacks become priests? That's just how things worked in the 19th and 20th century. And those ideas actually don't come from Joseph Smith. He ordained several black people to the priesthoo. In fact, he ran for president on platform of freeing the slaves. anti-slavery beliefs is actually why the early Latter-day Saints were genocided in Missouri and Illinois. When Brigham Young instituted the ban, he got the idea from racist southern protestants, and even Brigham said that ban was only meant to be temporary and that one day blacks would have equal privilege. And while the rest of the country segregated blacks and whites, the Latter-day Saints refused to segregate their congregations, going as far as to call the KKK an evil cult at the height of their power, leading to thousands of Latter-day Saints to be lynched in the south in retaliation.

If you're saying followers of Christ then now. But yes if you're saying we don't believe in the Trinity than yes. Catechism of the Catholic Church - Paragraph # 239 says God "transcends the human distinction between the sexes" We don't believe that Our God is a He/Him not a They/Them. Our God has a Son Jesus Christ how created the heavens and the earth, died for the sins of the whole world, and sends/sent prophets to all the house of Israel (not just in the middle east) and will Judge the World. So yes you can see how some would say the Unknown Cloud God is Different than Our Father in Heaven. We're not Hellenistic at all.

Definitely Christian. Just cause you say they aren’t doesn’t make them not. They believe in the divinity of Christ. That he suffered and died for all mankind’s sins, is the only way to be redeemed, was resurrected, And follow his teachings today, from the New Testament. How Can the be more Christian than that? By believing he’s not the Son of God like He Himself said? By denying he has a resurrected body like He Himself said? He is one with the Father and Holy Ghost, yes, but that doesn’t mean he also isn’t who He says He is.
