CONTRADICTIONS between the Book of Mormon and the Bible 

All by the Grace of CHRIST.

Hey it's the dude I follow on TikTok

Theology Tea. Thank you for quoting scriptures used by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We believe.

By the Grace of God not by our works

Oh, for heaven’s sake. Try to be an original thinker rather than a spouter of clichés

I really hope that you left the LDS and I hope that you fully repented it came to Jesus Christ and that you're no longer in that cult!

You are believing a demon. Read this: Mathew 19:14 (NIV) Jesus said “the kingdom of Heaven belongs to the little children.

i know it is kinda off topic but do anybody know a good website to watch new series online?

You capitalize Christian, but not the (b)ible?

@@downbntout oh my..puhjeebers...watch out

They don't believe in heaven or hell they have no contradict even though Smith did have a heaven and hell but he kept contradicting himself and the later presidents kept making up things against hell they're out of Darkness or prison or Paradise s*** contradicts that all that s*** because those are basically references to hell and only pieces of it are the places of Heaven and Hell

Even their bom fraud was is correct compared to all their Antichrist fraud because it believes that heaven and hell and they believe it on a real God just as the Bible does etc and they believe in a trinity more so than anyone can make a trinity out of the Bible it's a extreme modalist Trinity and that's what even the more they're bom fraud they still believe in a trinity but an upside down satanic broken corrupted false Trinity that's upside down.

Where? If your talking about when the Pharisees asked what happens if a women married all 7 brothers, Jesus never said anything that the marriage won't exist in heaven

@@Robert-rw5lm Yes it is that passage, and yes he does say that. "At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven." Matthew 22:30. He may not specifcally use the word heaven, but "the resurrection" is another phrase used to refer to heaven.

no such thing as an X list. seek a therapist.

​@@michaelparks5669its more like a "do not contact" list, its more so the church can remember not to bother those saying "leave me alone"

You're better off being on that list.

What would you say is Good advice when trying to show the gospel of Jesus Christ to a current Mormon ?

@@coreybrackett9194 tell em to read the book of John :)

Praise Jesus!! More being saved !!🙌🏾❤️

Robin Sk how do you justify what James says about faith? You know, without works it is dead.

Shaun Butterfield we are saved by faith, faith is the desire for a relationship with God and that he will save you from your sins through his son. Jesus saves you through faith and faith alone but true faith and passion for a relationship with God will bring about works. Do not mix up cause and effect

Brado M I wasn’t mixing up anything. We are saved by grace but we are also told to be perfect, we are told nobody can enter the kingdom of heaven but he that does the father’s will. Paul said the law (works) doesn’t save anybody because the audience hadn’t given up the law of Moses. You want to speak of cause and effect? Newsflash, accepting Jesus Christ is a work. 🤔. We are saved by grace only because we don’t have the ability to save ourselves. Salvation from death is free but eternal life requires sacrifice and good works, then his grace is sufficient. Mathew 5:48 be ye therefore perfect. That requires work. Again, accepting Jesus is a work. People that don’t believe in Jesus will be saved from death. Your claims are wrong and not scriptural. Faith without works is dead, The devils believe and tremble. They haven’t accepted Jesus. Again, a work.

@@greasyhandsauto-shaunbutte9726 Works are evidence of our commitment to God and of His changing of our hearts. It is not a way of earning a place in Heaven, but rather evidence of a change of heart through faith in Jesus Christ.

Anthony Lambson I know we are saved by grace. There is no other way period. But to say we don’t need to do all we can, is complete blasphemy. We need to do good works. Isn’t accepting Jesus a good work? He does not want us to be idle. He wants us to produce fruits. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints does not nor, has ever taught anything other than being saved by grace. We know we can’t save ourselves. We believe in good works but frankly don’t you? Jesse really needs to read The Book of Mormon if, she is going to criticize it. It’s obvious by some of he comments, that she either hasn’t read it or, doesn’t understand what is says.

You’re right. Joseph Smith did that at every turn, deceiving many.

@@AString95 And you are entitled to your opinion

​@Headless Horseman I guess that I am really bowled over by the logic and strength of your argument, that I guess that I will change my faith and follow Jesus. What did Jesus say? "He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved." Does that not contradict the Evangelical Christian biblical interpretation from the 1960's? Which one am I supposed to believe: the words of Jesus Christ or the Evangelical Christian biblical interpretation from the 1960's? Oh about the Book of Mormon validation, maybe you should get in touch with more current facts. here is a good one to listen to:- Book of Mormon evidence they didn't tell you about ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nRxdGUp3LKY.html I would be interested to know what way God's words are written? I thought it was delivered through prophets and not for private interpretation. If you listen to Bart Erhman, the supposed definition of the Trinity was not a 1st century Christian teaching. Please correct me if I am wrong with your knowledge of the scriptures and the whole process of transmission of the scriptures of our day. Can you please identify the prophet who sanctioned this, as God is the same, yesterday, today and tomorrow: "Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secrets unto his servants the prophets." So if it wasnt a biblical teaching from the prophets, who came up with the idea, and who endorsed it? Oh was that a minority group who had wealth and political power? Who backed that up? Oh Constantine a wife killing, child killing murderous pagan Sun worshipper: I don't mean the Son of God either. Obviously a prophet who had authority to make such a declaration Can you explain to me John 1, in the beginning of what? Is this a relative or absolute beginning? I look forward to hearing from you.

Yes, it would be just as easy to make a video about contradictions within The Bible.

Chris Shearer it’s an appeal to authority argument... that being the Bible which, to many Christians, is the perfect and complete written document of god’s word. Really good point, I was thinking a similar thing while listening to this. There’s good evidence to support that the Bible itself is fallible and that the accounts therein deserve to be held to the same type of cross examination.

Chris Shearer So the gospels were eye witness accounts of Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection. If 4 different people witnessed the same crime, they would all have minor differences in their testimonies but the meaning or overall gist of the story is the same. That is to be expected. If all 4 gospels were exactly the same, that would actually be suspicious. In a court of law, it is expected that different eye witnesses have minor details that aren’t the same from each other, but as long as the gist or the main idea is the same, then they can be overlooked. No two people will tell a story exactly the same way, and if they did, it could be suspicious because that could mean that they were conspiring with each other to tell a lie. I would definitely recommend researching explanations for this (mine might not be the best) instead of writing the whole thing off

@@haileykeller8357 That's why people shouldn't feel they need to claim that The Bible has no contradictions. A book need not be completely free of contradictions to have great value. But if contradictions within The Bible are legit, then contradictions between The Bible and the BOM are also legit.

@@otisdylan9532 well the Bible has zero contradictions. A contradiction is when one part says something and another part states the opposite case with little or no evidence. In a police report, there will be slight differences between eye witness testimonies of a crime, but that doesn’t mean they contradict themselves. People have different perspectives or focused on different details, but the police would still accept the testimonies because it would actually be suspicious if they were all exactly the same. The Bible has zero contradictions because it is God’s inspired word and God is very consistent, righteous to preserve His Word, never changes and therefore never changes what he says, and always keeps his word. God can’t make mistakes. There are SO MANY legit contradictions between the Bible and the Book of Mormon!

Your objections actually reaffirm the validity of the New testament letters. It shows that the New Testament was written by different authors and the details may not be the same, but the overwhelming teachings of Jesus and His identity is taught by all..no contradictions there. This actually is evidence that the writings of the New Testament are genuine and not contrived by a planned deception or story telling by one or just a few individuals. We would expect to have some minor discrepancies between the writers as they are telling what they have witnessed and heard or saw. But the overall message of the letters is unanimously the same throughout. This is what separates Christians from pseudo-christian cults. They always add or take away certain teachings or practices that fundamentally contradict historic Christianity that hold certain truths to be unchangeable.

What was the forbidden fruit

so Adam was fooled and now we are all born with evil? What father would do what God has done to errant children, dam them with eternal suffering. That's pretty strict.

Actually the bible really does not say any human will be tortured eternally. Everyone dies. They're dead until the resurrection. Hell is translated from 5 different words meaning different things. The lake of fire can't be thrown into the lake of fire. Death is the end. The holy spirit is what breathes life intocreation. If we believe in an eternal punishing of a live soul we are saying Gods spirit is going to be keeping people Alive for eternity in hell? No. Only jesus can make us eternal. Nothing else. We are not immortal unless jesus gives us eternal life and salvation. The dead will be raised and we will all be judged. The bible says the dead know nothing. Also the wages of sin is death not immortality in hell. Google all this it is true all in the bible.

The bible says that God alone has immortality

Hell as we know it Is a pagan and Greek mythology. Google Hel. It is a goddess. None o that is In the bible

I'm game, Where is there contradictions in the Holy Bible ?

@@binren3984 Maybe the most important difference is that God in the Old Testament is completely different from God in the New Testament. Then there are all kinds of little things, like Mary being a virgin, but Jesus' ancestry being traced through Joseph, who wouldn't be Jesus' father if Mary was a virgin.

@@otisdylan9532 Well, it's been a year since I posted my statement. But I am more than happy to reply to what seems to be Biblical Contradictions. I run into these questions of contradiction while I myself study the scriptures. My suggestion for you would be like a skeptic reporter in a sense when you run into contradiction and asked WHY and What is the text trying to communicate. The Bible has stood the test of time of all skeptics since the beginning of time itself. There is nothing new under the sun. I not writing this to take an attack side I want you to know that from the start. Your right, quickly looking at the Bible It seems the OT God is not the same as the NT God. That's a position that the Jews take that Jesus was not the Son of God. I don't take that position cause I believe the NT actually fulfilled OT prophecy and I believe what this old book says that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God. He's our Lord and Saviour. That comes with serious study no matter what position you take. I understand your point about the John and Mary. It's a good question . Even though John was of the tribe Judah according to scripture he wasn't the biological father. However, Mary was also of the tribe of Judah. Also this fulfilled prophecy in Genesis 3 :14-15 The Lord God said to the serpent, Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go and dust shall you eat all the days of your life. 15) I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your offspring and her offspring he ( Christ ) shall bruise your head and you shall bruise his (Christ) heel. Christ's crucifixion and resurrection was the prophecy that was fulfilled but not finished in Genesis. That's my take on your concerns. Just to let you know, there's a lot more going on in the Bible that you won't be taught in church which many find very exciting. Take care Peace

@@binren3984 To be clear, my position isn't that because the Bible has contradictions, it therefore has no value. A thing can be quite valuable without being perfect. I think that there are some good things in the Bible, especially in the Gospels. Peace.

@@otisdylan9532 There is only one book on this Earth that has the power of God's Word and God's Plan, and that's the Holy Bible.

Soooooooo... you do not believe that any of the other books added to the Bible after the book of Proverbs including the New Testament are really His word? Got it.

@Avenged- Sevenfold Avenged-Sevenfold, but... i don't want to get “nitpicky” about it. I sense you are expressing your own desires more than mine perhaps? ; ) My comment was a rather broad reference. A couple of questions... - Why did you say “dodge this”? - Who is Joey???

@Avenged- Sevenfold Well, I am still confused about your “dodge this” comment as I see nothing in your remarks that would require “dodging”. What I do see in your comment is some faulty assumptions stacked on top of incorrect presuppositions. For starters the prophet Joseph Smith did NOT, I repeat, did NOT make any changes or revisions to the King James Version of the Bible in the way you have claimed in your comment. Your understanding of the issues at hand has been victimized by critics who always try to spin things in the worst possible ways rather than providing genuine understanding of the issues at hand. The King James Version(KJV) of the Bible that LDS Christians use is EXACTLY the same as the KJV of the Bible that sectarian Christians use. Your comments make it sound like the KJV of the Bible that LDS Christians use is somehow different from the KJV of the Bible that creedal Christians use- when that is just not the case at all. What the Prophet Joseph Smith did do is use the KJV of the Bible as a springboard to form what is referred to as the “Joseph Smith Translation” (Referred to here on as JST). The JST is not canonized Scripture for Latter-day Saints, JST Genesis 1-6 and Mathew 24, which are both found in The Pearl of Great Price excepted. The JST is not the LDS version of the Bible. The King James Version of the Bible is- and it always has been. It is the KJV of the Bible that is part of our official canon of Scripture or what is sometimes referred to as “The Standard Works” of the Church including the Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine & Covenants and Pearl of Great Price. So where does the JST fit in? In 1828 the word “translation” had a much broader meaning than it does today. The Joseph Smith “Translation” should be understood as supplemental to our canon of Scripture and contains a variety of elements such as additional revelation, alternate readings, prophetic commentary or midrash, harmonization, clarification and corrections OF the original as well as corrections TO the original. It is not my understanding that non-LDS Christians believe that EVERY passage of scripture has only one specific precise correct meaning identically applied in all contexts. Such a straightjacketed approach would be absurd. The Prophet Joseph Smith often saw more than one meaning in a passage and brought many of these explicitly to our attention by means of the JST. However, the existence of a JST variant reading for a passage ought NOT to imply that the KJV is “incorrect” in the purest sense of the term, since the Book of Mormon and Doctrine & Covenants sometimes agree with the KJV rather than the JST. We simply require a more mature, sophisticated and enlightened understanding to grasp the Prophets intent with the JST than is ever provided by critics of the Church- or what we see in your pseudo-confident comment that somehow requires “dodging”. Of course we as LDS Christians believe the JST is “inspired”, but that is not the same thing as saying it always restores the original “texts” of the biblical books. There is more going on here than that. By the way, if the Prophet Joseph Smith wanted to change or rewrite Scripture he certainly could have as Biblical prophets often changed or rewrote Scripture- but that is not the Prophets core concern or issue with the JST. As LDS Christians we are not obsessed with “text” in the way our fellow evangelical brothers and sisters are. As LDS Christians we are not bound by “sola-scriptura”- nor do we adhere to an “inerrant” view of Scripture as many Evangelicals are famous for. We see these approaches as being what largely well intended men do when they are without access to living oracles of God. What matters for LDS Christians and for Joseph Smith as well as all biblical prophets is not the text itself but the pure revelation that is driving the text. This is a key difference. LDS Christians sometimes get the impression that if Evanglicals Christians believed there really was a true Prophet of God on the earth today that they would sort of hover around the Prophet waiting for him to write something down. Then when the Prophet did write something down they would take the text and run off with it to some secluded spot to hyper-analyze and study the “text” instead of just talking to the living oracle of God himself. The term “bibliodolatry” comes to mind here. On this matter Stephen E. Robinson in “How Wide the Divide: A Mormon and an Evangelical in Conversation” (A fair starter book for Evangelicals honestly seeking to understand the LDS Christian position by the way) says the following: ---- ---- ----- ----- ----- “Scripture is mediated revelation, derivative revelation. The direct revelation to a prophet or an apostle is immediate and primary, and this is the word of God in the purest sense- as “word” and “hearing” rather than as “text”. However, the recording, transmission and interpretation of the word depends on fallible human beings, using the fallible human tools of reason and language. Thus, Scripture is the word of God for Latter-day Saints, “as far as it is translated correctly.” For Latter-day Saints, the church’s guarantee of doctrinal correctness lies primarily in the living prophet, and only secondarily in the preservation of the written text. This is, after all, the New Testament model. The ancient apostles and prophets themselves were the “primary” oracles. What makes Scripture normative is not anything that may have happened to the text as text, but rather that it records what “holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” (2 Pet 1:20-21). In other words, what makes Scripture “theopneustos” (“inspired” or “God breathed”) is not its “written” character but its “revealed” character. Writing it down preserves the inspired revelation and makes it accessible to the wider church, but that is secondary to the original revelation itself. The “record” of revelation cannot logically be more authoritative that the “experience” of revelation. There would have been no Scripture in the first place had not God revealed his word, person-to-person, to a living, breathing human being. And it is the continued presence of the one who received the revelation in the first place, or his inspired successors (prophets in the Old Testament, apostles in the New), that ensures the written word will be interpreted and applied correctly to new contexts. THIS IS THE BIBLICAL PATTERN.” ---- ---- ----- ----- ----- To sum up... when the issues are better understood than how you have presented them your question is difficult to take seriously as holding any real weight. The Restored Gospel is beautiful and true… and i am grateful for living Apostles on the earth today and for the Prophet Joseph Smith and his contribution to this great work in these the latter-days.

@Avenged- Sevenfold Umm... No. You are clearly not grasping the role of the JST. You are framing the issue in a way that is outside of the LDS paradigm. Your confident bravado is loud.... but your understanding of the issue at hand is... low.

@Avenged- Sevenfold Atheists have sources to their claims to prove the Bible is false. This does not mean they have genuine understanding any more than you do just because you have "sources". I have represented the LDS view of the JST as it fits within the LDS paradigm. You don't have to agree with that paradigm nor do you have to like it. But, you accusing me of lying is just what some people do when they really do not have anything more substantive to bring to the table.

David Stiles ..and then JS produced the entire book of Mormon in under 3 months. Without referring to notes or doing rewrites. You may want to do a little more research before giving him so much credit. Or at least come up with a more complete theory. Maybe a "conspiracy theory"? A team of writers and co-conspirators?

@@charlesoliphant8905 or dumbass or he basically had the same stuff not just from Ethan Smith's own points but also from other people the same stuff making the same lies and it wasn't three months dummy and took him several years and we know he did this if you bother to actually look at it this live 3 months has been fabricated and truth it took him several years at least 3 to 4 years to get all the stuff together and he had an Open Bible too as well as Miss quotes and corruption errors as well as run on sentences and other stuff he was using Ethan Smith's own stuff as well as spaldings work as well as the war of the of the US the last war etc.

@@charlesoliphant8905 you morons are so ignorant because you don't like the fact that auntie moronism exposes you because it gives real Christ truth other truth and lots of truth that overexposes you 100 million times over

hahaha why are you lying? this was refuted loooong ago.

Hey, you are definitely correct in saying it has a place. Just not in salvation. In fact, James says faith without works is dead. He is speaking as a man who eventually dies for the Gospel. He is saying that if you do not follow Jesus in your actions you are an ineffective Christian. James 1:24 says, if you follow the law you will be blessed. Good works are the fruit of salvation not the root of salvation. Isaiah 64:6, Ephesians 2:1-10

You don't do works for salvation, you do works for rewards. This is where so many evangelists miss the point. Yes, salvation is a free gift, but we work for rewards.

@@adamgoodword7888 ididnt say you do works for salvation, isaid works is part of your faith if you follow the teachings of Jesus , atleast to me ,

​@@JJ-ck1vg I know this is a really old comment- but I wanted to reply for anybody else who might see. You are correct, works is a part of your faith in Christianity. The book of James talks about this. But the key difference here is that as a Christian we believe we are saved (given salvation) by Christ alone and it's a gift from God. Whereas Mormonism teaches that you are only saved IF you do good works. As if you can "earn your way into heaven" by doing 'good' things. Which ironically is exactly what Jesus criticised the Pharisees for. Prioritising their laws and supposedly good works over their faith. The reality is that its through grace and grace alone that we are saved. Which is only available to us when we accept Jesus into our lives.

I believe he did say that, yes! 😄

I love Mark Twain But I wouldn’t believe anyone with a hairstyle or mustache like he had ! Lol

@@ObscurasCozyCult I know what you mean we have many brothers and sisters being hurt in many ways but I believe their battle line is clear. In the US and western christianity lots claim to be Christian but few live like it lots of deceived people. When the church of Christ in the west starts being persecuted I dont imagine megachurchs will still be around. The Open Doors Ministry is helping persecuted Christians right now and we need to be praying and helping if we can. Thank you for thinking of our Syrian family I hope this clears up what I meant

I wonder why she doesnt love atheist and muslims just as much

Its encumbent upon ALL Christians to expose the works of darkness, to call people out of religion, to lead them back to the Lord. It's not about loving the Mormon people but exposing ALL religions and calling people to turn back to Jesus.

So you believe Christ created multiple churches to conflict with eachother? Even though Christ says the spirit of contention is not of him, but of the devil? Catholicism is the root of most so called "Christian" churches. Catholics killed Christians. Romans did too. Romans killed Christ!

mormons have had 200 years in which to finesse their approach to christians. they know their game plan. they use the book of mormon in their conversion process. they use it but they do not believe it. there are no distinctive mormon beliefs in the book of mormon. the main thing about the book of mormon is that it gets people out of the bible and into a false gospel. to see how the mormon scriptures contradict themselves klik: www.utlm.org/onlineresources/contradictionsinldsscriptures.htm

Amen brother. Im witnessing to about 5 of them this Friday and ive taken about 40 pages of notes lol. I asked God for wisdom and He has put it in my heart to give them truth. And through that, ive been given so much wisdom. Thank you for this video! The tribe of Aaron is definitely something to point out. Especially since it is in the Torah so they cant assume it has been changed over and over. God bless!

Mark Twain, the Father of American Literature, was no fool. Search the internet and read his critique of the Book of Mormon. Twain quickly recognized it as fiction, referring to it as inferior literary, plagiarism from the King James Bible, and miraculous, that is, miraculous that Joe Smith did not fall asleep while writing it. Isn't it amazing that highly educated professors and scholars at BYU, a prestigious university, cannot see the scam that Mark Twain recognized quickly?

Well said.

Which Christ? The brother of Lucifer or the true Christ who is an uncreated being, who has always existed with God the Father from all eternity?

@@fayelewis5476 what religion believes Christ wasn't created and has existed with God since the beginning? An honest question, I have not heard of that before.

@@elijahwillardson7371 Christianity teaches that Christ is an uncreated being, who has always existed with God the Father from all eternity. He took on human flesh 2,000 years ago. 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. Jesus was born in Bethlehem, but he existed from eternity. 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.’” Jesus Created Lucifer 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 him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 14 And the Word (Christ) 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. Col. 1:16 For by Jesus all things were created in heaven and on earth, [things] visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him and for Him. You've probably heard of it this way. Merry Christmas! 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.” Matthew 2:11 And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. Why were grown men worshiping a toddler? We are to only worship God.

You don't have faith in God. You can't abandon something you don't have. You worship an exalted man. It's called idolatry. 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 130:22). The true and living God the Father was never once a man. He is an uncreated being. The true and living God has always existed. He is the first, uncaused cause of everything you see. He lives outside of time, space and matter because He created time, space and matter. He is self-existent. He has no mother or father, does not need air, food, water, sex, sleep, shelter, clothing, etc.. He is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, immutable, transcendent, infinitely holy, eternal and so much more. The highest heavens cannot contain Him. The true and living God created Adam out of the dust of the ground. No wife needed. No pre existence. Why don't you worship the true and living God?

@@strongtower9237 I have faith in a personal and loving God, in whose image I was created. However I don't believe in your interpretation of scripture. Your trinitarian 3 in 1 dogma makes no sense. All LDS stand with Sir Issac Newton in rejecting the Trinity.

@@billstevens937 The moment you die it will not matter what Isaac Newton or Joseph Smith or any pastor, preacher, priest, pope, bishop, elder, etc. has said. It will only matter what God has said. My interpretation means nothing. God the Father is not a man. Job 9:32 “In truth I know that this is so; But how can a man be in the right [b]before God? “For He is not a man as I am that I may answer Him, That we may go to court together. "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. ****** Having the “image” or “likeness” of God means, in the simplest terms, that we were made to resemble God. Adam did not resemble God in the sense of God’s having flesh and blood. Scripture says that “God is spirit” (John 4:24) and therefore exists without a body. However, Adam’s body did mirror the life of God insofar as it was created in perfect health and was not subject to death. The image of God (Latin: imago dei) refers to the immaterial part of humanity. It sets human beings apart from the animal world, fits them for the dominion God intended them to have over the earth (Genesis 1:28), and enables them to commune with their Maker. It is a likeness mentally, morally, and socially.

@@strongtower9237 Look, I get it that you don't get it! Your trinty dogma cannot be found in the Old or New Testament. Also your bigotry and ignorance is quite revealing..... Thank you for sharing!

@@billstevens937 Merry Christmas! 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 It is called the hypostatic union. 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.”

Wonderful! So Wonderful!!

Just as a Christian does with the Bible.

@@TheChrishendrix Christians don't base their beliefs on feelings. That's a mormon thing. The Bible says, "The heart is deceitful above all things. Who can know it?"

@@rayma66 OK, What non emotional reasoning can you give me to believe the supernatural claims in the Bible?

@@TheChrishendrix Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen. Faith comes from God ultimately. It is a gift he gives to us. All throughout the Bible God gives tangible ways to know if something is the word of God or someone is sent by God. Such as testing the prophets and spirits, and searching the scriptures if something is true. Paul encourages the people to search the scriptures to know if Jesus was the Messiah. He even praises them for doing so. This is just one example. The tests of a prophet include fulfilled prophecy. Even one false prophecy excludes him and he is not to be listened to. A prophet has to uphold what previous prophets have said. He cannot lead you after any other gods. And many more... Paul preached (and repeated) that if any man or angel preached another gospel then let him be accursed. He warned of false prophets and false Christs. Jesus gave us another test: "You shall know them by their fruits." A good tree cannot produce bad fruit. God always always always gives us simple (and intellectual) tests to know if something is true. Not once in the whole Bible does he say to pray for a good feeling. He actually says that the heart is deceitful above all things. Feelings are subjective and can lead you astray. In terms of the Book of Mormon, rather than praying about it one should search the Bible (what God has already revealed) and see if they match up. And also to put Joseph Smith to the test. Did he produce good or bad fruit? Did all of this prophecies come true? Did he preach the same Christ? Did he lead people after a false god? Etc. After all, shouldn't you bet your soul on something more than Joseph's word and good feelings?

@@rayma66 You're using the Bible in an attempt to use as evidence of itself.....you see the problem? You exercise the same "Faith" as a Mormon does with the book of Mormon. It's a blind assumption that your book is 'divine' or 'holy' over another book. But you have no evidence.

I love it when people think for themselves not just regurgitate someone else's school of thought good job !

@Avenged- Sevenfold Your points bring up exactly why I thought #1 was weak., because it referenced one verse from Psalms. The references you provided give a much stronger argument.

@@MichaelEllisYT I agree that the scripture shared by Avenged made the argument much stronger. There is always an enormous list of Scripture to quote for every single point in all my videos but I have to keep the videos at a length where I'm not going to lose my audience. The verse I mentioned was strong enough in that it said exactly what the Bible teaches. But yes, amazing additional Scripture shared by Avenged.

@Avenged- Sevenfold Love your comment and additional verses shared. Thank you!

The Psalms were written by David as he was moved by the Holy Ghost, it was not just his opinion. That sounds like an attack on Biblical inspiration.

Literally throw your book of mormon out if you love jesus. Jesus is God. Are you interested in reading some verses that say that? The mormon religion doesn't believe that.

Please open your heart to Jesus who is the ONLY way and rebuke Joseph Smith!

@@kellygreen3943 I can reassure you that I do trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as the only Savior. I am not LDS, but I have LDS friends, and I am concerned that Christians should be accurate in discussing LDS beliefs and the teaching of the Book of Mormon. There is a big difference between the BoM and later LDS doctrines as developed latterly by Joseph and Brigham Young. The BoM teachings on Jesus and salvation are very close to the Bible, whereas the Book of Abraham etc. constitute a radical change away from the original teaching of Father, Son and Holy Ghost as the one everlasting God. Many LDS people do have faith in Jesus Christ and His blood atonement, and resurrection, and in the Holy Spirit helping them to live a holy life, and other aspects of Christian truth. Not all are really knowledgeable of the very unbiblical later views of Smith and Young etc. They get by with a faith that is very close to the Bibllical one, although of course when they come to depend on secret temple rituals they are being led away from it, rather like the Galatian and Colossian Christians whom St Paul had to warn. I only appeal for Christians to deal factually, not misrepresent what the BoM teaches, and understand that many LDS have been brought up in that church to have a love for and trust in Jesus Christ. We must find a way to affirm the truths they hold about Jesus, while pointing out the very serious errors which were introduced after the BoM, when the uniqueness of Father Son and Holy Ghost as the only true and everlasting God was denied. I think witnessing to LDS people must be a very patient and loving work. I observe that some Christians attack LDS for holding doctrines which some true Christians hold, for example, Calvinists condemn them for rejecting their double predestination doctrine and antinomianism. Much of early LDS doctrine on faith and holiness is akin to Wesleyanism, which is why it attracted a lot of early converts.

the book of mormon was written to contain many plain and precious things. how is it that someone needs to explain it, when god sent it to us in plain and simple language? please do tell us all how you have been raised to the sublime degree of understanding all things book of mormon. and how do you know we don't have a burning in the bosom about it? i think my burning in the bosom trumps yours, a complete stranger, and not a prophet.

How do you take a false book out of context?

Stay strong in Jesus name

being a christian is not always easy. the decisions you are placed with are not always so cut and dry. i think of abraham, who was raised in ur of the chaldees. he hated every minute of it. he hated good gods and bad gods and crockadile gods and turtle gods and river gods. but he could not leave because god had put the 10 commandments in his heart. he knew about the first commandment, but he also knew about honor thy father and thy mother. and he knew he owed his father deep love and respect. and that meant caring for him in his old age. so abraham stayed in the land of pagans and idol worshippers, and took care of his father until his father died. and then god made a way for him to leave the land of idol worshippers, and he went on to become the father of all the hebrews, the first father of moses and aaron and to all those who have the 10 commandments written in their heart. and in the end, there's nothing written that tells you not to speak up for what you know is right. there's also something written to remind you that you should honor your father. exactly what choices you make and what you do is a matter between you and god.

Can you point to where they say not to read The Bible? The course of study for the Church next is the Old Testament. The year after that it will be the New Testament.

@@CMZIEBARTH the foundation of mormonism is that all the creeds of christianity are an abomination. when you study the old testament with the mormons they will always find ways to bring up their first founding doctrine that all the creeds of christianity are an abomination. when you get to the part where adam and eve bring sin into the world they will tell you that adam fell, but he fell upwards. they will add words and tell you that when adam heard the lie, "you will become gods" the serpent was not lying but he was telling the truth. and then the foundation of mormonism will be established, and you will always be looking for how the old testament was changed and lies put for truth. unless you can see there is only one god and you will not become a god, you will not be understanding the bible. when they asked jesus what the most important commandment is. he said , mark 12.29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: he was quoting the sh'ma. wiki sh'ma to find the most important commandment in all of judaism and christianity.

@@longnamenocansayy Thank you for replying with your understanding.

Is the benefit to make different mainstream Christian churches more popular? Or the convenience it provides to people that they might not have to pay tithing or to observe the word of wisdom? What's the gladness about? Maybe it's supposed to be a sin if someone believes in a modern prophet like Russell Nelson and you're protecting questioning Latter-Day Saints from that type of sin? What's the big deal anyway? What are the consequences and curses from being a Latter-Day Saint?

I'm glad that the false claims of Christianity in general are being exposed on the internet.

@@Raze120 Some things are true, but none of it implies that the church of Jesus Christ is false.

@Avenged- Sevenfold Josephine consent? I didn't watch the whole video, but I don't know what that means. Basically, I just don't trust Born Again Christians (It's Me Jessie) to have the full gospel of Jesus Christ because they only represent one of hundreds of types of denominations all divided with different versions of baptism and probably different doctrines. All they share in common is a bible. Maybe they all interpret the bible more consistently with each other than Latter-Day Saints, but it's not convincing because they're all still divided and furthermore, and most importantly, It's Me Jessie never talks about the still small voice or inspiration she might/may receive from Holy Ghost (the Comforter) or personal revelation. She doesn't care about it.

@Avenged- Sevenfold Isn't that like asking why do you need Noah's consent to get into heaven or be safe by entering the ark before the flood? Why did Moses's people need Moses to escape slavery and cross the Red Sea? Is it because prophets like Moses and Noah came before Jesus Christ? But Joseph Smith can't be a modern "Noah" or "Moses" because he came along 1800 years after Christ? Is this an issue of chronologically who came before or after Jesus Christ? The Holy Ghost is meant to be personal proof. I can't transfer my own experiences of being influenced by the Holy Ghost onto you, but it's possible that by me saying something to you, that you could feel the influence of the Holy Ghost from something I said. Also, Latter-Day Saints believe that except for Jesus Christ, Joseph Smith made the second greatest contribution to the salvation of souls after Jesus Christ. That doesn't mean it had to have been Joseph Smith, it just happened to be him. And he just followed instructions from Jesus Christ, so you could say it was only Jesus Christ and not Joseph Smith if you wanted. This is what's implied by temple building and temple work besides missionaries and missionary work. As far as tangible proof, I would watch Hidden in Heartland. There are 7 episodes and I've seen them on Prime video. Wayne May and Rod Meldrum know what they're talking about.

we both agree faith without works is dead. what are those works? if you read the entire book of james, you will see chapter 2. 25 In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction? rachel was a prostitute. james uses the word EVEN a prostitute to emphasize her depraved sin filled life. yet she is called righteous. the book of james was written to people who are thoroughly convicted of their sin nature and need for the grace of god to save them from hell. you can't take one verse out of the bible out of context, that's what you do when you quote "faith without works is dead" out of context. you know that, so why do you mormons do it so often? you render the whole book unintelligible when you take one verse out of context to support your cult fantasy. the real belief of mormonism is the 2nd article of faith. We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression. you don't believe that all your works are tainted by sin and your sin nature. you don't even believe you have a sin nature. you believe you will become a god by constantly choosing the right. you don't believe in a sin nature, and you have no need for jesus to save you by grace. james was a brother of jesus and he accepted jesus and was fully relliant upon the mercy of jesus. you mormons have written the grace of god out of the bible entirely, that's why you quote scripture out of context. it's because you don't believe it.

We aren’t justified by works of the law, but by the the Holy Spirit doing work in our lives. Mormons have this part right, although I disagree with their extra biblical book. Too many Evangelicals skip over this bc they don’t actually have the Holy Spirit and want to stay in step with their sins instead. 2 Thes 2 13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. False converts, is what I call people whose lives are not changed by their “faith”.

Yes, James 2:24 is very disconcerting. There are 112 verses in the christian Bible that teach faith alone. But, here we have one verse that seems to contradict the other 112. So, what do we do here? Do we throw away the 112 verses, or do we seriously and meticulously study the reason for this seemingly glaring contradiction? Or, do we build an entire religion (such as mormonism and jehova witnesses) around this one verse. In the Book of James, notice that James refers to those he is speaking to as "brethen". Brethen is Greek for "christian brothers". On 5 occasions, James refers to the people he is addressing as "brethren". These people James is addressing are already christian brothers, people who have already believed in the death, burial, and ressurection of Christ, by which they are already saved. (1 Cor 15: 1-4). Now, that they are saved, they are expected to be effective christians and do good works.

I just don't understand how "faith alone" works. If that's how it was meant to be, then why do we have the commandments? Are they not telling us things we should and shouldn't do?

Agreed that this is Biblical. But there isn't a magic age to this, like the LDS believe when they baptize 8 year olds who are all of a sudden held accountable for their sins.

Jessie is a false prophetess. 1. She overtly denies the omniscience of God. She says men know more than God. 2. She denies all Scripture including The Bible. She claims that her wisdom is greater than Scripture. She says all Scripture including The Bible are unreliable because they contradict her. 3. She teaches never to pray to God. She says you should pray to men, like she does, or pray to her, that she gives better answers than God. Worse still, Jessie girl claims that Scripture taught her never to pray. 4. She claims that her feigned baby voice is superior to the still, small voice of The Spirit of God, hence, men should rely on her. 5. She claims The Bible contradicts The Book of Mormon, which claim is an outright lie from satan himself. In reality Jessie never reads either, she only googles for dumb data to deliver. She is not worth watching. Her presentations are uninspired and unintelligent.

@James Weller How are we supposed to respect you when you make false accusations? Jessie does not deny the omniscience of God or say that men know more than God. Where do you come up with such ridiculous ideas? Or again, Jessie does not "deny scripture". Have you even watched her videos? Or again, she does not teach to not pray to God.

I have a question so according to teh Mormons, they believe that the purpose of the temple is that we can Baptist those who died without being baptized. So you (the living ) will give a name of your great grand parents and you (the living) will be baptized on behalf of them. Guys help me here where in the Bible does it say so?

@@naomirachel1755 It doesnt. The dead cannot be baptised. If you depart this life having rejected Jesus then Jesus will deny that person before the Father. There can't be any saving after death.

@@chn9285: David was not a child. The entire chapter of Psalm 51 is referring to a contrite sinner's prayer for a pardon. It is a Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. We are born with a sinful nature, and we inherited it from Adam. “Sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people” (Romans 5:12).

Except Islam has it right that when it comes to works moronism is damning extremely so when it comes to its Falsehood Evils and it's Wickedness.

Right on! I noticed Jessie seemed happy that she found contradictions.

@@skypimp3409 the Book of Mormon does not teach it. By that statement it is clear you have not read the book. We do not believe that we will be Gods, in fact all of those theories are not canon in our doctrine at all.

Jesus concluded the sermon on the mount with be ye therefore perfect as your father who is in heaven. Through His grace, through the atonement, maybe eventually we will be made perfect. God is perfect. So maybe we will be like God, but never be God. Again, our religion does not teach this so these are all just theories so it's not fair to criticize us for something we don't believe.

Hi Dan, I really appreciate your religion and I find lds church members very delightful and kind. We may have some differences but if you want to learn more about my point of view, then I recommend watching "Mormon Jesus vs Bible Jesus - Jeff Durbin". I would also like to hear your thoughts after watching this.

@@caravue7033 HI Cara Vue, I sincerely hope you are asking as a seeker. It would be very unusual if you were, but I will assume you are. I have seen most if not all of Jeff Durbin’s videos and have commented on many. He is a severe anti-Mormon and very often misrepresents, if not flat out lies about what we believe. For example, we do not teach Jesus was polygamous. He tries to impress you with occasional Greek words. He polarizes us by using typical anti-Mormon terminology, like “Mormon Jesus” and “Bible Jesus”, and “God over our own planet”. I can tell you that LDS beliefs are Biblical-much more than that of Jeff Durbin. If you insist on listening to someone not of our faith tell you what we believe, I would recommend another Pastor named Jeff on a RU-vid series called “HelloSaints”. He is not perfect in his explanation, but is much more respectful than Durbin, and I have not caught him in a lie. Typically, to reply to an accusation takes much more time and space than the accusation itself. Therefore, as much as I would like to give an honest reply to this entire video, it would take up much more space than I think RU-vid would allow.

Instead of insisting that God created such an evil being as Lucifer, making God evil himself, it actually can solve The Problem of Evil, not make it worse. Instead of enveloping all the extra-Biblical councils and their resulting Creeds through the ages (such as the Trinity) and force all these things into the Bible, the restored gospel is Biblical, it is historical (being very similar in beliefs to very early Christianity), and it is spiritual. Best of all, you CAN receive confirmation directly from God of the truth and bypass all the confusion. I have had this experience and can honestly use the words, I know.

The early church unanimously held that the gospel of Matthew was the first written gospel and was penned by the apostle of the same name (Matt. 10:2-4). Lately, the priority of Matthew as the first written gospel has come under suspicion with Mark being considered by many to be the first written gospel. The debate is far from over. The historian Papias mentions that the gospel of Matthew was originally in Aramaic or Hebrew and attributes the gospel to Matthew the apostle.5 "Irenaeus (ca. A.D. 180) continued Papias's views about Matthew and Mark and added his belief that Luke, the follower of Paul, put down in a book the gospel preached by that apostle, and that John, the Beloved Disciple, published his Gospel while residing in Asia. By the time of Irenaeus, Acts was also linked with Luke, the companion of Paul."6 This would mean that if Matthew did write in Aramaic originally, that he may have used Mark as a map, adding and clarifying certain events as he remembered them. But, this is not known for sure. The earliest quotation of Matthew is found in Ignatius who died around A.D. 115 A.D. Therefore, Matthew was in circulation well before Ignatius came on the scene. The various dates most widely held as possible writing dates of the Gospel are between A.D. 40 - 140. But Ignatius died around A.D. 115, and he quoted Matthew. Therefore Matthew had to be written before he died. Nevertheless, it is generally believed that Matthew was written before A.D. 70 and as early as A.D. 50. Mark Mark was not an eyewitness to the events of Jesus' life. He was a disciple of Peter and undoubtedly it was Peter who informed Mark of the life of Christ and guided him in writing the Gospel known by his name. "Papias claimed that Mark, the Evangelist, who had never heard Christ, was the interpreter of Peter, and that he carefully gave an account of everything he remembered from the preaching of Peter."7 Generally, Mark is said to be the earliest gospel with an authorship of between A.D. 55 to A.D. 70. Luke Luke was not an eyewitness of the life of Christ. He was a companion of Paul who also was not an eyewitness of Christ's life. But, both had ample opportunity to meet the disciples who knew Christ and learn the facts not only from them but from others in the area. Some might consider this damaging to the validity of the gospel but quite the contrary. Luke was a gentile convert to Christianity who was interested in the facts. He obviously had interviewed the eyewitnesses and written the Gospel account as well as Acts. "The first account I composed, Theophilus, about all that Jesus began to do and teach, until the day when He was taken up, after He had by the Holy Spirit given orders to the apostles whom He had chosen. To these He also presented Himself alive, after His suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days, and speaking of the things concerning the kingdom of God." (Acts 1:1-3). Notice how Luke speaks of "them," of those who had personal encounters with Christ. Luke is simply recounting the events from the disciples. Since Luke agrees with Matthew, Mark, and John and since there is no contradictory information coming from any of the disciples stating that Luke was inaccurate and since Luke has proven to be a very accurate historian, we can conclude that Luke's account is very accurate. As far as dating the gospel goes, Luke was written before the book of Acts and Acts does not mention "Nero's persecution of the Christians in A.D. 64 or the deaths of James (A.D. 62), Paul (A.D. 64), and Peter (A.D. 65)."8 Therefore, we can conclude that Luke was written before A.D. 62. "Luke's Gospel comes (Acts 1:1) before the Acts. The date of Acts is still in dispute, but the early date (about A.D. 63) is gaining support constantly."9 John The writer of the gospel of John was obviously an eyewitness of the events of Christ's life since he speaks from a perspective of having been there during many of the events of Jesus' ministry and displays a good knowledge of Israeli geography and customs. The John Rylands papyrus fragment 52 of John's gospel dated in the year 135 contains portions of John 18, verses 31-33, 37-38. This fragment was found in Egypt, and a considerable amount of time is needed for the circulation of the gospel before it reached Egypt. It is the last of the gospels and appears to have been written in the 80's to 90's. Of important note is the lack of mention of the destruction of the Jewish temple in A.D. 70. But this is understandable since John was not focusing on historical events. Instead, he focused on the theological aspect of the person of Christ and listed His miracles and words that affirmed Christ's deity. Though there is still some debate on the dates of when the gospels were written, they were most assuredly completed before the close of the first century and written by eyewitnesses or under the direction of eyewitnesses. carm.org/when-were-gospels-written-and-by-whom

Faye Lewis I appreciate all the details. Did Mark say that he got his source to write the gospel from Peter? Did Luke say he got his source from Paul? Because Luke clearly states how he was inspired to write his gospel in Luke 1:3. He claimed that he wrote his gospel based on what he heard. Matthew didn’t write the gospel according to Matthew. Read Mathew chapter 9 or just read Matthew 9:9.

​ @@eismc2518 Perhaps you should read the book, 'Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus,' by Nabeel Qureshi. He went around the world seeking evidence for the validity of the Bible and the Quran. Mark's source was Peter, who was an eyewitness. Matthew is speaking in the third person here. Matthew 9:9 As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man called Matthew, sitting in the tax collector’s booth; and He *said to him, “Follow Me!” And he got up and followed Him. I don't think any of the gospels were written in the first person. Papias, Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria, Eusebius, and Origen all affirm Matthean authorship. While Matthew did not sign his own name to “his” gospel, the early church uniformly attested to the apostle’s authorship of the book. As early as AD 140, a Christian named Papias wrote that Matthew had compiled the sayings of the Lord in Hebrew (presumably before Matthew translated them into Greek for a larger audience). Matthew’s name appears in all the biblical lists of the twelve apostles, though Mark and Luke refer to him as Levi. His history as a tax collector distinguished him from the other apostles, and immediately after his call to follow Jesus-an event he recorded in Matthew 9:9-Matthew hosted a feast for Jesus in his home with an invitation list made up of Matthew’s sinful friends. Apparently Matthew did not think it odd that Jesus and he would associate with the sinful and downtrodden of society.

​@UCov5KvGSKx7dkZiBOagURfw All I know is that you have an appointment with death and an appointment with God. Jesus said the only way you will ever get into heaven is through Jesus Christ. Because God is just, He will punish sin-regardless of how well you keep the Five Pillars of Islam. As a Muslim, you long to reach paradise after you die. But as a sinner, how will you escape God’s judgment? You may think, “My faithfulness in keeping the Five Pillars may outweigh my sins. Hopefully, God will admit me to paradise.” You strive to keep the Five Pillars of Islam. Five times a day you kneel toward Mecca. The creed (shahada) often forms on your lips. You bring no bread or water to your mouth during the daylight of Ramadan. You are saving up money for the pilgrimage to Mecca and are freely giving alms to the poor. But still you question, “Is keeping the Five Pillars enough?” Your conscience convicts you of failing God’s standard of holiness. How could the holy God accept to paradise someone stained with even a little sin? Only one sin caused the first man’s downfall. Adam’s sin was not a “big sin” like adultery, murder, or blasphemy. By eating the forbidden fruit, Adam brought the curse of sin and death into the world. Shall we escape? We who have dishonored our parents, lied to our neighbors, or cheated our customers (Exodus 20)? We sin routinely by putting selfish interests ahead of loving God (Matthew 22:36-40). We proudly overlook or excuse our sins. But God does not overlook or excuse any sin. He will judge every thought, word, and deed (Ecclesiastes 12:14; Matthew 12:36; Revelation 20:12-15). God is a righteous Judge. Even on earth, a judge must punish sinners. A judge cannot pardon someone who has stolen just because the criminal claims to visit the mosque every Friday and fast during Ramadan. If sin goes unpunished, the law would be disregarded, and God would be dishonored. God is the just Judge and will not let sin go unpunished, regardless of how well you keep God’s laws or how many good deeds you do. Keeping the Five Pillars of Islam cannot get you to heaven. You are a sinner according to God’s Word (Romans 3:23; 1 John 1:8). The punishment for our sin is death-eternal death in hell. Our rightful home is hell. We need God’s mercy. But how can God be both merciful and just? The Bible explains how God’s mercy fits with His justice: “For by works of the law no human being will be justified in [God’s] sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it-the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe” (Romans 3:20-22a). Keeping the law cannot get us to heaven. Instead, the law reveals our sin. God’s justice requires eternal death in hell for sin, but His mercy provides eternal life in heaven through faith in Jesus. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23). As the eternal Son of God, Jesus is one with God the Father. God sent His Son to earth to become man, but Jesus never ceased being God. Born by the power of the Holy Spirit to the virgin Mary, Jesus didn’t inherit Adam’s sin nature. Jesus is called the second Adam (1 Corinthians 15:22). While Adam’s one disobedience brought the curse of sin on the world, Jesus’ perfect life brings the hope of paradise to those who trust in Him. Jesus took the punishment for sin-death-by dying on the cross on behalf of believing sinners. Then, Jesus rose from the dead, showing He conquered sin and death. Don’t try to take care of sin on your own. Even keeping the Five Pillars of Islam, you will still fall short of God’s perfection. Turn from sin in repentance and turn to Jesus in faith (Luke 24:46-47; Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 3:21-31; Galatians 3:6-14). God forgives believing sinners and gives them eternal life in heaven. God may be working in your heart, showing you your sin and need for Jesus. Receive God’s gift of eternal life! Trust Jesus as your crucified Savior and follow Him as your resurrected Lord!

Uh...what about that mormon's belief that they can become gods !! That's just 1 out of 1000!!

Haha.. kids. So adorable and soooo bad, even in their young innocence. 😉

Precious but naughty!!

Headless Horseman an apple is not a fake orange, and vice versa

Headless Horseman I agree with MOST of what you said there. But you disregarded my point. An apple and an orange are not the same as a fake Rolex watch and a real one. A fake is trying to look and function as a real one. A fruit is trying to neither look nor function the same as another fruit. However they have similar properties at times, eg vitamins, fibre content etc. the Book of Mormon is not a fake Bible. It talks of different people in a different part of the world, with similar doctrines but expanding on some in different ways/more than the Bible

@Headless Horseman because the bible does not have everything that the Lord wanted to say and because God is not limited to one book.

So where's the truth? Sure I perceive truth, so do you, but what's the real truth?

I guess only the KJV version is true and the JST isn’t? 😁 do you believe the bom is historically accurate and the boa is a correct translation of common Egyptian funerary papyrus?

@@shawnbradford2243 KJV is"ground zero" and other translations are helpful sometimes. Somtimes the interpolations of man affect the skewed translation. I read JST. What is boa?

@Vox Populi there are many, and they are usually discussed in most divinity graduate schools. But we will start with the first contradiction that Paul called a "stumbling block" to the Jews. In Deuteronomy 21: 22-23 the KJV has "And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree: His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance." Many Jews to this day regect Jesus because a prophet revealed that any body who is hanged on a tree is not in favor with God. Yet Paul saw the risen Lord. He had to deal with this dissonance, and how did he do it? He had Torah on one hand and his personal experience with the Lord on the other. He went with his spiritual experience and redifibed Torah to describe Jesus. To be Christian has always been a test of faith against our own dissonance. It was like that for the first two centuries of the Christian faith. The test of faith is do you listen to what man tells you, or do you listen to your personal experiences with God? Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 1: "23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29 That no flesh should glory in his presence." Now would you like to discuss how Matthew and James disagreed with Paul in his epistles?

@borrowed tomb maybe. Sin can be a difficult concept and we want to look at those who claim to be right with God as examples. I wonder why Abraham was allowed to father a child with Hagar and then act like he wasn't going to stick up for her. I wonder why Jacob was blessed when he was a deceiver and supplanter. He lied to his own father to get ahead of his brother. I wonder why we rejoice in reading the psakms of David when he clearly was living in abomination with many women. How could he write by the Spirit when he was an adulterer? How could Solomon dedicate the Holy Temple when he was living with many wives and concubines? How can Peter be a Chief Apostle after deny Christ? Then refusing to sit at the same table with fellow Christians who were uncircumcised gentiles? Why can Paul take money from the Greeks to support the Jerusalem Christians and then say he never took money from anybody? How can apostles leave the care and duty to support their families and wives and still be right with God when Paul(maybe) told the Thesselonians that if you don't work you don't eat? Why does the epistle of Timothy order women to be silent in church? Did we as Chriatians get "continuous revelation" to make that more appealing to our contemporaries? "Judge not", says Yeshua the Messiac, yet here we are, contradicting that. Do we want the same standards we judge other faiths to be held against us at the last day?

@Vox Populi you're right. When you can see the whole picture and the end from the beginning. But to the Jews at the time, they couldnt swallow it. There was no New Testament when Paul was preaching. The only scriptures were the law, the prophets, and the writings (Hebrew Bible, Old Testament) so for those who "knew" that those Scriptures came from God, why would God send His Son to contradict Himself? Your faith in the Savior is what removes the contradiction in your eyes. But it is there, all bible scholars know it. But you are reading the scriptures through the eye of faith. That is good. Now tell me how you deal with Noah and the great Flood? Tell me how you deal with the Creation Drama in Genesis? Science will says that only fools believe that. How about the resurrection of our Lord? Have you touched Him? Have you seen Him? Yet you believe? Why does James say "Faith wothout works is dead" but Paul says only through faith are we saved? James was an apostle and Bishop in Jerusalem with the Jews, Paul an apostle to the Greeks. It seems they interpreted the gospel to fit their audience. How do you deal with that?

@Vox Populi that's fine. But Galatians 3:13 was how Paul explained the contradiction. It didn't remove it. He acknowledged that it was there. Whether you see it or not doesn't change the fact that it is there.

@Vox Populi no worries. I believe in the ressurected Christ . my point is to not be so harsh on other people trying to find the way through Jesus when ancient Israel and Christians have spent centuries going back and forth trying to figure it out. God's dealings with us are personal, and different for each. Think of Job vs Jacob. Think of Peter and Paul. Why was Abraham commanded to circumcise his family, yet Melchizedek was a High priest that said nothing about circumcision? How is Christ's followers supposed to be led? If we are all equal, then why do we need pastors or full-time preachers? Why do they need a Masters or Doctorates in divinity before we listen to them? Christ's apostles had fisherman and tax collectors. We live a faith full of seeming contradictions. Be kind.

All good points.

Faith in Jesus Christ IS all that is necessary to receive eternal life!

That must be why James said that Faith without works is dead. Jesus said, "If any man desire to follow me, let him deny himself, tak up his cross and follow me." That sure sounds like work to me. I'm not trying to be argumentative here. But just because someone who we trust tells us something doesnt make it so. I was born and raised Seventh Day Adventist. Everybody i knew taught me Adventist doctrine. But it is at least as heretical as Mormonism. Learning of their lies i jumped right into Calvinism Southern Baptist to be exact. But there were so many things i read in scripture which i still couldnt wiggle out of. For instance 1Timothy 2;15. Please explain THAT one away. I never could. But the one thing you simply cannot deny once you study the subject, is the death and resurrection of Jesus. Upon that we stand. And our lives are changed by it. This effects a change of heart which demands that we act upon it. Works again. (But not works of the Jewish law)

By a man trying to con people into thinking it is also the word of God in English, by attempting to imitate the majesty of the King James Bible. Yusuf Ali tried the same trick when he translated the Quran into English.

The KJV Elizabethan language is all the religious text Joseph knew ( he was uneducated) and so he used that familiar sacred language as he received his impressions during translation. Are you slow? Is that really hard to grasp?

@@JohnDLee-im4lo Well John, if you are determined to deceive yourself into believing this adulterous conman, I suppose that's your only option. In light Galatians 1:8 and of the entire package of context and evidence, Smith was a conman and a false prophet. But, suite yourself. It is better to be slow and right, than quick but deceived.

@@JohnDLee-im4lono, you half-wit, I'm not slow. If the material he was "reading" were ancient texts, they would not have been expressed in King James English. He "discovered and translated" them in the 19th century, also NOT a time when that version of the language was in use. Smith was a fraud and you're a moron.

@@serpent645 The paucity of your knowledge on this subject is laughable and breathtaking. He didn't "read" anything.

@@elliottness2307 There is no corroborating evidence for much of what's in the Bible. But yes, the BOM is completely uncorroborated.

The Book of Mormon tells you that it is a false book. Have you read the BOM? If you read the Bible and then the first page of the Book of Mormon, you would know that the Book of Mormon is false. The Bible states that the first siege of Jerusalem took place under King Jehoiachin in 597/598 BC. II Kings 24:12 And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign. Then Zedekiah became king. 2 Kings 24:18 Zedekiah was twenty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. According to the Book of Mormon, Lehi's warnings to Jerusalem happened in the first year of Zedekiah's reign, after the first deportation of king Jehoiachin.. This is fake news. Jerusalem was already destroyed. No need to make this prophecy. 1 Nephi 1:4 For it came to pass in the commencement of the first year of the reign of Zedekiah, king of Judah, (my father, Lehi, having dwelt at Jerusalem in all his days); and in that same year there came many prophets, prophesying unto the people that they must repent, or the great city Jerusalem must be destroyed. ********** Also, in I Nephi 1:2, the Jews are speaking and writing in the language of Egypt??? The author of the Book of Mormon evidently didn't realize that Jews would not speak or write in the language of Egypt, a nation that enslaved them and that the Jews despised. Yea, I make a record in the language of my father, which consists of the learning of the Jews and the language of the Egyptians. - 1 Nephi 1:2 For it were not possible that our father, Lehi, could have remembered all these things, to have taught them to his children, except it were for the help of these plates; for he having been taught in the language of the Egyptians therefore he could read these engravings, and teach them to his children, that thereby they could teach them to their children, and so fulfilling the commandments of God, even down to this present time. - Mosiah 1:4 And now, behold, we have written this record according to our knowledge, in the characters which are called among us the reformed Egyptian, being handed down and altered by us, according to our manner of speech. - Mormon 9:32 It's no wonder that Mormons are laughed at. Such a sad story.

@tapir rider , judaic is a matter of religion, not blood. Jew is a matter of blood, not religion. Jew is my blood. I am not Judaic in matters of religion.

@tapir rider , I am a Jew. And, no. I'm not LDS.

@tapir rider , I don't care what you believe. I know who I am. Your opinion is irrelevant. You dishonor Jews by attacking them. I'm a Levite with the pedigree to go with it. I mention that I'm a Levite because now Deuteronomy 33: 11 condemns you if you continue to attack me. However, regardless of your opinion, the fact is many peoples have been here in America since ancient times. The Yellow Emperor sent-out fleets of ships in every direction to discover all they could. The Yellow Emperor lived more than 1,000 years before Avraham. He knew about all the continents and wanted to gather more ground before the other empires and kingdoms did. Anyway, have a great day!

@tapir rider , Though I'm not LDS, I tarry in Utah. Why does the spelling of my name offend you? Do you suppose that all people spell surnames the same way? That said, Ott is not my surname in the first-place. Ott is a name from a story I wrote for my kids. The use of the name Ott has nothing to do with anyone else. Ott is a family name, but not my surname. Again, since when must a name be spelled the way you think it should? As for your comment about scholars. I am a scholar. I mentioned the Yellow Emperor to you yesterday, and had you been honest, you would have looked-up my claims and not dismissed them without researching them. I know that you are jaded as an ex-LDS, but despite that the LDS church is a fraud, I find it so sad that ex-LDS people are almost always much worse humans after they are no longer LDS. As I said, I'm not LDS, but unfortunately, most of family converted to the LDS church. This doesn't take away our Jewish ethnicity. As for Jos. Smith, he didn't found the LDS church. He founded the Church of Christ. The Illinois Corporate Registry shows that Brigham Young started the LDS church, and the 600 page Temple Lot Case (in Missouri) evidences that the entire belief system of the LDS church was Brigham's idea. Brigham simply claimed he got it from Jos. The stuff people attribute to Jos. was actually done and taught by Brigham, not Jos. As for the LDS church (which Brigham, a Rothschild banking agent with Rothschild subsidiary Kuhn Loeb & Co.), it was titled Church of Latter-day Saints. The name Jesus Christ was not in the title. After Brigham orchestrated the murders of Jos. and Hyrum Smith (and many others), he lead 4,500 (out of 40,000) people into his cult and to Utah. In the Congressional Globe (a political publication of the day) the going rate for "Lamanite girls" was recorded as the price was set by Brigham. Brigham's price for "negroes" was also listed there-in. In 1916, the Church of Latter-day Saints was named: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This 1916 event is recorded in the Utah Corporate Registry. Brigham's church didn't even have the name of Christ in it's title. And so, the LDS corpse, err, church from the early 1840s until 1916 didn't even have the name of Christ in it's title. Add to all that is the fact that John Taylor was the trigger man that killed Jos. Smith and Willard Richards was the trigger man that killed Hyrum. John Taylor was rewarded to become the next president of the LDS Corporation. after Brigham. If you look-up the holding company of the LDS church, it is Ensign Peaks Investment Management (EPIM), and EPIM's holding company is some oil & gas company in Texas, and their holding company is some company in Paris, France. And their holding company is really 12 or so private individuals who live in the NE USA and who are all Rothschild family members. And the Rothschild-Rockefellar Corporation is a subsidiary of the so-called vatican. And the Catholic church owns all Corporation on earth---and this was brought about by the Cestui Que Vie Act of 1666.

Were you once a Mormon?

@@alannahmay3823 No, but LDS missionaries came to me in 1986 and asked me to read the BoM; I did and knew it was fake. They became my mission field since then.

I get this comment a lot. I highly recommend Josh McDowell's book "Evidence that Demands a Verdict" that demonstrates very clearly how evidence-based Biblical Christianity truly is. Even the Bible tells it's readers to "test all things." Truth doesn't fear ridicule, criticism, critical thinking... because it'll remain truth. Vast difference from Mormonism, which crumbles at every angle.

I appreciate your kindness! My next video is about the LGBT ban that was lifted in the General Conference and many other changes your church is going through under the name of "revelation." Although Mormons believe they follow the same God and Jesus that Christians do, it is simply not the case. We are not sisters in Christ, I'm afraid. That breaks my heart. But we can be if you would only open your eyes and come to know the one and only true God of the Bible. The Jesus of the Bible is the only One who can save your soul. The false Jesus of the LDS church is Lucifer's older brother and not the eternal God. The Heavenly Father of the Bible is not the God of the Bible or of Moroni 8:18 or 2 Nephi 31:21 but is the god of Joseph Smith's King Follett Discourse where Joseph declared that supposing God was God of all eternity was false.. he said he would take away the veil so you can see.. God was once a man just like us who was exalted into godhood.. we too have to learn to become gods ourselves. Blasphemy. That is the false Mormon god, in an infinity of plural gods.. completely contradicting the Bible and blaspheming the one true God. Russell Nelson is not a prophet. He is a business man. I pray that you will read the New Testament of the Bible (not the LDS Bible that gives commentary on the Bible so you will read it with the false message they teach) but the raw, true Word of God that will show you so clearly who Jesus is and what Biblical Salvation is. The LDS "plan of Salvation" is in total contradiction to the Bible as well. No, not every soul is "saved" (meaning resurrected) as a result of the atonement. Salvation is ONLY for those who place their trust in Jesus Christ alone for Salvation and we are saved through FAITH. Ephesians 2:8-9. All others will go to Hell. I will pray right now that you will come to know God and will get truly (Biblically) saved. Mormonism won't save you, my friend. It is a lie.

It's Me Jessie until we meet again, I wish you well. ❤️ Your Sister in Christ

32 years of my reading, seaching the truthfuness of the book of mormon i never see any contradiction in the bible.what this Lady, saying in this vedeo i already heard to my old pastor friends 20 years ago and its already answered.was this Lady teach Love in their Chuch were she belong? Or she really a true Christian? Why is it she's telling, sharing this video cretizising the Restored Church of Jesus Chist? What is the Fruit of the Spirit? (Gal.5:22-23) Love, Joy, Peace...Goodness, Faith...against such there is no law.

@@arthursaulda8626 We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel. - Article of Faith #3 Book of Mormon For we labor diligently to write, to persuade our children, and also our brethren, to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God; for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do. - 2 Nephi 25:23 "One of the most fallacious doctrines originated by Satan and propounded by man is that man is saved alone by the grace of God; that belief in Jesus Christ alone is all that is needed for salvation," (Miracle of Forgiveness, Spencer W. Kimball, p. 206). THE BIBLE Eph. 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and [h]that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. *********** Jesus' sacrifice was not able to cleanse us from all our sins, (murder and repeated adultery are exceptions), (Journal of Discourses, vol. 3, 1856, p. 247). THE BIBLE I John 1:7 but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. ********** Good works are necessary for salvation (Articles of Faith, by James Talmage, p. 92). THE BIBLE 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, *********** There is no salvation without accepting Joseph Smith as a prophet of God (Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 1, p. 188). THE BIBLE Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." - John 14:6 *********** "This grace is an enabling power that allows men and women to lay hold on eternal life and exaltation after they have expended their own best efforts," (LDS Bible Dictionary, p. 697). THE BIBLE 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: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. *********** There is no salvation outside The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" (Mormon Doctrine, p.670). THE BIBLE And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name (Jesus) under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved. - Acts 4:12

The LDS cult was based on Joseph Smith's musings while wandering with his seer stone! I pray that you will seek the TRUE Jesus Christ as he is the only way!! Joseph Smith's jesus is a brother to Lucifer and NOT the true redeemer!! Faith alone through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior is the ONLY way to eternal salvation!!

So glad you are benefitting from this!

@@mr400meter of course! For months I thought that maybe I was wrong and they were right

What does the Bible teach about a newborn child or baby? 1. They know nothing in their childhood state (Deuteronomy 1:39). 2. There is a stage when children do not know the good or the bad (Isa 7:16). 3. Of children is the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 18: 1-5). 4. But Jesus said: Let the children come to me, and do not stop them; for such is the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 19: 13-15).

First of all Smith never had any of that he just claims things he knows is not true and he's making up and he's basically wildly insane and able to deceive lots of people and make wild statements that are completely out of nowhere that twists Christianity and anything else and that's how it got off the ground but the thing is no one back then ever noticed but people are catching on to it now and that's why the moron Colt is losing millions of numbers and their texts are breaking and falling they have no statements about the word save or anything save means you're safe not by doing works if you do works then you can't be saved because you take care of yourself the more on Colt is so conflictedly false and has no concept of works or saved or commandments or rules but satanic fraud and Smith makes up and it was Antichrist hellish luciferically demonic ass.

Devin Huhta, see if you can challenge your wife to watch this video to the end and tell you why it can't possibly be true. Watch "The Bible vs Joseph Smith" on RU-vid ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nWyMj2LWge4.html Thre facts are presented in an amazingly loving way.

When God set the standard for holiness in the garden of Eden he said, "The soul that sins shall die." That is, ALL sin. Yet, when he delivers the Law of Moses he only lists some sins as capital crimes. This shows his mercy.

This could I,think, apply to politicians as well.

There's no archeological evidence this type of punishment was ever carried out, so it couldve been a great deterent to teenage drunks and rebels. On a side note this OT law was spaeking to the jewish people exclusively, it wasn't speaking to us......it doesnt apply to today...

@@sevensickszero6112 You contradict yourself while grasping for any excuse to rationalize the immorality of the bible. You say that the law only applied to the Jews. I don’t see how that makes it any less cruel (unless you hate Jews). Then you say it was only made to scare teenagers into not misbehaving. Which is it? So can we interpret all of God’s cruel acts and rules as only meant to dissuade bad behavior? Is hell, where people suffer eternal torture for slight indiscretions, only an empty threat? What about when God orders the Jews to slaughter men, women, children, and even all animals so the Jews can takeover their land. I guess even the children and animals were diabolical sinners. What a compassionate Father.! Exodus 31 whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. Numbers 15 A man is stoned to death for picking up sticks on the sabbath Leviticus 20:27 “Men and women among you who act as mediums or who consult the spirits of the dead must be put to death by stoning. Genesis God is angry. He decides to destroy all humans, beasts, creeping things, fowls, and "all flesh wherein there is breath of life." He plans to drown them all. Why does God constantly torture animals? Did one of them bite an apple? Is this your idea of a kind, caring God? It’s not mine.
