Thank you Aaron for the work you are doing. I'll try to keep this short. I am currently a mormon (returned missionary, married in temple, served in young men's program and 2 bishoprics, etc.) , but no longer believe the truth claims of the church. It started with church history stuff, but the thing that got me to the point of being able to profess my disbelief in my lifelong faith is the realization that Christ's gospel is so much bigger and more beautiful- the fact that I am loved and saved by Christ without any "after all you can do" type of conditions, is a message I can't ignore. My "faith crisis" has brought me in to reading from the Bible daily, and I am amazed at the change happening. I won't say that I never knew Christ before. I have had amazing and undeniable experiences where I felt His love and forgiveness. These experiences just make so much more sense now than they ever did before. I have watched a lot of your videos through this process, and while many (most?) doubting Latter Day Saints leave to either atheism or agnosticism, the work you are doing shows another and much better option. Thanks again!

Praise God that He would use this wretched sinner yet blessed saint, Mr Shafovaloff, to know you and keep you. What a scary yet glorious thought it must be to dwell on, to look at your fellow mormons, and see them and those who have fallen away into atheism, destined to dishnour and eternal torment, while you have been chosen by the savior, destined for honour, for no reason within yourself that would make you any better than your mormon friends.

Correction for 6:22 - God is not a God [with] boundaries. What I meant: God's jurisdiction or exclusive sovereignty isn't just a *subset* of the cosmos or ultimate reality.

Forever? But if the husband married again?

They make room for the nullification of previous marital sealings, supplanted by sequent sealings. Note in Matthew 22 how Jesus uses this very sort of question to teach that we shall be "as the angels" (unmarried) in heaven.

Amen- John 17, his prayer that we as believers will be one with each other and in Christ will is being fulfilled/will be ultimately perfectly fulfilled in the New Heavens and New Earth when we are perfected in Him. Praise God that He justifies the UNgodly!

Hmmm. Forever family with mom, dad, and siblings vs. forever family with billions of fellow Christians. Moses can show me how he parted the red sea, David can show me how to sling a rock, etc. My choice is Christ!

One Christian picking on another Christian. Are you sure you are even a Christian??? You claim to be a Christian, but you don't act like a Christian.

A true Christian speaks the truth in love- humbly accepts his position as adopted (I.e recognizes his previous spirituality dead state and enmity towards God- and receives by faith the gift of salvation from Christ by grace alone Eph 2:1-11) Aaron is a Faithful minister of the Gospel of grace. Blessings to you
