Difficult Questions LDS Mormons needs to answer. 

This is the first time that I have written a comment for a RU-vid video in all my years of viewing random videos on RU-vid. I grew up in a loving LDS home. All my family is LDS (Aunts, Uncles, and Grandparents). My parents have always served in leadership callings, myself included. I was the best example of an LDS member. I prayed to know if the Book of Mormon was true as Moroni instructed, and I felt warmth in my heart. I turned 19 and sent all my papers to serve an LDS Mission. I was called to serve in Veracruz, Mexico. I would pray every day to better understand His word so that I would follow it even better every day, and that's what He did. I was in my mission about a year when I began to get a tremendous urge to read the New Testament. I had read the Book of Mormon many times but I had never truly read the Bible. (I knew that Joseph Smith had said that the Bible was not translated correctly, that it had many holes, contradictions and that not all the books in it were inspired of God. I had never taken it upon myself to actually study the Bible because every time I read it, it would contradict the LDS church. A big issue was about salvation. I knew that what I did on earth in obedience to the restored gospel that God would reward me and make me a god like His god made Him god. The bible would always get me angry because it said that there was no God before Him and that there would be no God after Him. The bible said many times that if you believed in Jesus as your Savior that you would be saved. That sounded like blasphemy to me because what would happen to all my good works that I was going to present to God to be a god myself.) I knew that God wanted me to read the Bible and so I did with an opened mind and heart. I read from Matthew to the end of Hebrews, that’s when I knew something was really wrong with what I believed in. I prayed and accepted the Jesus of the Bible as my Savior and gave my life to Him. I was and am nothing. No good works that I could do could save me. I understood that the Blood that Jesus shed on the cross was the payment for my salvation and anyone who will believe. The LDS church had taught me that Jesus paid for my sins in the garden of Gethsemane and that he sweated blood because of the pain; the cross was just His death. I know now that it was on the cross, a living sacrifice, the Lamb of God, the Son of God as it was always represented in the sacrifices before Christ. I could no longer teach the LDS lies. You can keep your warm heart feeling, I want Jesus. I left the mission, was excommunicated from the church (Hallelujah, Glory to God). I feel so guilty for the people I brought into the LDS church (people are very easily strayed away when they don’t truly have the word of God in their lives.) I pray to God that they will open their hearts to the truth as I did (I wish I could go back but I don’t remember the addresses.) Praises and Glory be to Him on High!!!! Always read is word because everything you need to know about anything is there. I hope that God blesses us all in these times.

I'm in the middle of reading this family's book. Their testimony is so awesome! Praise the Lord Jesus Christ forever and ever amen.

I'm not Mormon- any longer - but...... it makes utah the perfect utopia for a nice quiet life . I can worship God and teach those who wish to listen about Him and not be talked back into Mormonism. Amazing how many lds are leaving the church now that social media has opened the window of knowledge! Thank you!

This helps me SO MUCH. I considered joining the LDS church, but had questions. I found this video, and it solidified my confusion about being saved by grace vs works! We are saved by His grace, thank you Lord!!!!✝️✝️ The book of Mormon scared me in many ways.....now I see why.

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE!!! Enjoyed your testimonials, and continue to stand for Christ Jesus of the Bible!!!

my family left the mormon church when i was in the 7th grade and i thought they were crazy till my freshman yr in HS. my parents told me points like this and it made me think. i grew up in arizona which mormonism was a big thing. i don't go to church anymore but i pray and am reading the bible now. this video is amazing and i want to share it with my friends in AZ because they are so blinded by believing things there parents tell them and they absorb it right up and believe that because thats all they know. they have lived there their whole lives so they have experienced anything else or tried anything new. this video is truly amazing

That Calvary Baptist pastor, is how we all should be. Kind with our manners and actions, but strong in our truth. “Read the Bible as a child.” Amen.

Thank you for this post. I am in the process of leaving the LDS church. You all make excellent points,and got me to think that I am definitely making the right decision. God Bless you!!!

Thank you all for your testimonies of deliverance. This video is a great tool for reaching the lost with the true gospel of Jesus Christ. I know how deep and personal your conversions are having been born and raised in a devout Mormon family. When the power of God moved at the moment of deliverance all emotions of fear, emptiness, confusion, excitement, glory, amazement, relief, humility, and wonder sunk at once instantly contemplating my family and life as a Mormon. I thank you all for your courage to put your testimony out for the world to hear. God bless you all. I am very grateful the Lord loved me so much to save me by His grace and praise the Lord Jesus Christ who delivered me from false doctrine. The Almighty God lifted vail from my eyes and pealed the scales from my heart to give me the faith to reject error and heresy only to turn to the power of God in the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ truth preserved in the Bible which breaks the bonds of deception.

This is such an encouragement. Before I was saved I had mormon friends who sent the missionaries to speak to me. I was at a very low point in my life and their message and their church sounded good initially. They brought me a copy of the bible as well as the book of mormon. I read both. The more I read the bible, the more I believed. The more I read the book of mormon, the more I realized it was false. The mormons appear wonderful on the surface, but deep down their religion is heretical. They put down the bible that can be validated by the ancient manuscripts and historical evidence and instead they turn to a lie created by a false prophet. Joseph Smith was a fraud and a charlatan. I pray for the mormons that they will turn from their heretical gospel and see the truth of Christ and His saving gospel.

thank u Jesus for your saving power that You brought these lost souls out of darkness into the marvelous light...now they know the truth that You are the true and only one true God....glory

I remember these guys in Mesa Az. I had my husband who just passed away gutar in my car and was led to give it to the group...do blessed by your music! When I came out of Mormonism I remember hearing "now you have to tell others" God's plan is bigger than just one person...He wants all to come to the truth of the Gospel.

Micah, my brother in Jesus, I am the one who the holy spirit told me about my mormon religion to look into it really careful. Your video really changed my life into becoming a Christian. I am so glad that I have been able to see your testimony and the truth about the mormon church and their fake teachings. It's so sad that most of my families are still members of the church. I pray everyday to God to help my families to open their eyes to Jesus christ. God bless you all my brothers and sisters in Jesus christ our savior.

I have a friend who I love dearly, and I feel she is a true Christian deep in her heart. Videos like this are wonderful...they simply reaffirm my belief and faith in Christianity. This video has also just handed me some tools to help me reach my friend, and to help her see how easy it actually is to accept Jesus as your salvation. Thank you!!! 😊🔆

I'm not part of this religion but I really love this video. Very touching

Thank you for Coming to Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior

Awesome my eyes are tearing as I type. Yes lord Jesus you are awesome . Praise. God.

I feel a deep connection with my Savior in the LDS church. To the people in this video, honestly, whatever makes you feel closer to Christ you go do it because that's more important than not feeling a spiritual connection to him and doing things because of what you're told. My experiences in the church have been great. I love it and I love Christ's teachings. I have a firm testimony of the Book of Mormon. It's an amazing book and it is what it says. It's Another Testament of Jesus Christ. It's another witness of Jesus Christ. It's not the onlly witness but it backs the Bible in the way that Jesus did in fact live, performed miracles, and died for us. I'm studying Church history right now and you can see the wisdom of God as he helped Joseph Smith in his role as the Prophet. I have felt the Sprite multiple times witnessing to me that it's true. That Jesus Christ is the Savior, Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God, and that the Book of Mormon is Another Testament of Jesus Christ. As a missionary, I had decided to read the Book of Mormon in my mission language (spanish). I had studied Spanish a little bit in high school but the MTC helped me speak more fluently. Even though I didn't understand everything in the Book of Mormon completely when I read it in Spanish, I felt a peace and calm. It was amazing. As I started understanding more Spanish the Book of Mormon started making more and more sense to me. I learned and relearned things which had been taught to me before but this time in a personal setting.

My mom and her family were all Mormon. I was basically raised around Mormonism. There was always something pulling me away from that faith and I never really understood what that something was. I now know that it was the Lords doing. I am faithful to the one true God and his word only.

World religions all have at least a few things in common ... They are founded by a human being; most of them claim to be the one and only true religion/church, their doctrines contain un-scriptural fabrications mixed with some truths, and they all induce their members to do certain things in order to earn favor with God. Some of them have come up with their own Bible twisting words to fit their doctrines or like the Quran. Thing is ... it is impossible to please God without placing one's faith in Christ ... God's Messiah and Savior; God's provision for all mankind to be forgiven of sin and granted a personal relationship with His Creator through Christ. God has desired a personal relationship with every man and woman since the beginning. This was made apparent with Adam and Eve and in His relationship with the Israelites. The Hebrews were God's chosen people, and through that relationship - living example to the onlooking world. Through this relationship with the Hebrews, God was able to introduce Himself and show the world who He is, what He is like, how He thinks, what He desires, demands, and expects ... Then, when He gave the Laws, He gave the Hebrews time to realize that man cannot keep Gods laws; not without help. Once this was accomplished, He promised ahead of time to send a Messiah and Savior. It can be surmised that the Hebrews were expecting the Messiah to arrive in a dramatic and obvious, recognizable way. But that wasnt the case. He was born to a Hebrew young woman in a lowly stable. Scripture tells us that Jesus was all the fullness of God, bodily. He is referred to in scripture as the Word of God made flesh. Scriptures, Jesus is God: carm.org/bible-verses-show-jesus-divine Before Jesus came, the Hebrews had to sacrifice animals to atone for their sins. There could have been no forgiveness available for fallen humanity without the historical incarnation and ultimate death of the Son of God. Without the shedding of blood there would have been no pardon for sin (Hebrews 9:22). But the blood of animals could not provide actual atonement for sin (Hebrews 10:4). Those animal sacrifices under the former dispensations were merely typical (pictorial representations) of the “lamb of God” who was to come and provide a sacrificial offering for humanity (John 1:29). Had Jesus not died at Calvary, those offerings of ages gone by would have been worthless. If you're reading this, just know that God loves you and wants you to know Him through His Son Jesus; the last and final sacrifice. He reveals Himself to those who sincerely seek Him, or seek the TRUTH. Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the life. No man goes to the father except through Me." If one sincerely asks Jesus to forgive you of your sins and to come into your life, you will not only have His forgiveness, but you will begin a personal relationship with Him. He restores and changes lives, still today. He's alive and real and He reveals Himself to those who seek Him.

My faith too lies in the redeeming grace of Jesus the Christ. I pray that my daily thoughts and actions are in line with His teachings. I'm glad to see such a great interest in the Bible as it truly testifies of Him, and I hope everyone's scripture studies draws them to understanding its writings in context of and relationship to all the other verses. I feel some might be harvesting from only a few trees and missing the forest.

No one ever needed the Mormon Church to have forgiveness of sin, and eternal life in the presences of God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. That is through repentance, faith and trust in Jesus Christ only. Jesus said, “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.” (John 14:1) “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” (Romans 3:23) “For the wages of sin is death; but THE GIFT OF GOD is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)

Amen! I've been a follower of Christ for a few years and know the gospel of Christ really well. It brings me to tears to hear the beauty of the simple gospel. We are wretched people (all of us) and God loves us so much that he sent his son for our transgressions that wee committed against our Holy God. God will change our lives through Christ as the Holy Spirit draws us too him. What an amazing testimony. Praise God for his work and love for us. If your hearing this for the first time as a Mormon, Jehovah's witnesses, Catholic, Jew, Muslim or any religion that claims to be the" True church" all you need is Jesus. Please read the new Testiment then the old Testiment. Everything points to Jesus (the Word). 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 NASB Come to Jesus and put all you faith and trust in him. He will change your life ( becoming BORN AGAIN). YOU ARE LOVED! Welcome to the church of God Brothers and Sisters

I am a convert from The Southern Baptist. I don't want to settle for less either. I went to church all my life. My parents raised me in the church. When I was 18 I even went on a mission for the Southern Baptist Convention Foreign Mission Board to Kenya Africa. If there is one thing that my dad always told me, it's that I should always go to the church that God wants me to go. Not to base it on where they attend, or where my friends attend, or because it's big or small, but because i've prayed about it and sought God's council only. I did seek God throughout my whole conversion process. He told me that I am suppose to attend The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. My life has not ever been better. From the moment I was baptized and confirmed I was healed and my life is for the first time ever one of great happiness and most importantly....inner peace...a peace that surpasses all understanding. Works do not get people into heaven...we all know that...only the atonement of Jesus Christ makes us worthy. The works in our faith are for the rewards we will receive once we enter into the realm of heavens and only because we have confessed with our mouth that Jesus Christ is the sacrificial son of God, believed in our hearts without a doubt, have been baptized for the remission of our sins (Acts 2:38), and have received the Holy Ghost.

What an encouragement to hear the gospel so clearly articulated by young Christians who have come to know so much about the Bible and the real Jesus Christ contained therein! What a blessing! To those who have sinned much, much has been forgiven. Amen! As Paul was encouraged by the Thessalonians, as am I when I hear of one person having an amazing gospel effect on their friends and family (1 Thess. 1:9-10)

Thanks for this video. Wonderfully simple and heartfelt. God's peace be with you all.

As an ex-mormon, I can attest to the feeling of security the LDS culture can bring. It must have been very difficult for these young men to go through what they did - I understand the pressure they were under. I am not born-again, but I can respect the strength it took for all these people to follow their hearts out of Mormonism. It is a very difficult thing to separate oneself from a church whose influence is so pervasive and heavy. Joe Smith is by far one of the greatest con men in history - 180+ years later, people are still buying his "truths." The dude looked at a rock in his hat!!!!!!! I am glad for them that they are out, and happy. On another note - eternal families? What if your family members are jerks???? I've always wondered about that. ;-)

I have friends and family who are Mormons I pray they will be delivered to Christ. Thank you so much for this film.

Amazing video, may God bless you all. I was never a Mormon, I was raised in another chuch (Catholic), but Jesus led me out of it in order to be a part of the true Body of Christ. Thanks!

Thank you so much for the truth, your testimonies are very precious. God Bless You All!!

UGH, that piano !!

To each and everyone of you, Thank you for your beautiful testimony of Jesus.

The question I ask Mormons is this, "When Jesus died on the cross, how many brothers did He have?" Mormons believe in a Jesus who was brother to Satan before the world was inhabited. But, scripture says of Jesus who died on the cross that He was "the only begotten son." I ask them, "In which Jesus do you put your trust for salvation? Because only one of these two men is God's plan of salvation."

It's so crazy to me that these people walking with Mormons still pressed on and found out the truth about The Lord. Think about it.... they stood alone in their faith while being surrounded by ways to fall back into the mormon religion yet they didnt...I mean this guy was on a mission trip with all mormon men yet kept pushing and pursuing only The Bible. God will reward this journey I am sure it was tough! Great stories. Ty. Jesus is just so good!! 👏🏼👏🏼

What a beautiful witness. Praise Jesus!

One of the most beautiful videos produced! I too found the Lord by reading the Bible. The Holy Spirit can work wonders if you just let the Spirit into your heart and read God's Word! Nice Job! This video is applicable for all and not just Mormons.

Dear brothers and sisters, even if you are normore members of the Church, as you still believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour, please dont forget us and pray for us, whereever you are. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Thank you. God bless all of us. In Jesus Name Amen.

I tried giving the book of their testimony to a mormon and he threw it back to me.

Listening to this makes my heart fill with true happiness to see these brothers & sisters know the truth about Jesus Christ, to see them get saved! Hallelujah, Praises & Glory To God, Fir He Is The God Of Miracles!!! I have family who are strong into LDS & pray they too can find the truth!!!

Awesome! I have watched few times in then last 6 months or so, thank you. Thank you very much, very clear, very, refreshing, almost can taste the sweetness of the Word of God in my mouth. Again, thank God for people like you, God bless you.

Awesome testimony, thanks so much for this.

The problem with Mormonism is the beginnings of this church is close to our own era and it is possible to examine texts and the early history of Mormonism from an accurate and not too distant point of view. It’s easy to recover evidence and disprove the Book of Mormon; to examine the lives of the so-called saints; to understand the social context of the time that led to reliance on superstition and magic, and to see the early church and its founders as flawed. If you look at the history and some of the horrific episodes in its foundation it doesn’t stand up. It’s the so-called family values that keep people stuck in the church. And I can see that the social network is designed to shame not to support. This is a false faith. The idea that the Bible wasn’t translated correctly puts suspicion on it. Not all the Gospels are there; historical evidence says more Gospels exist. It’s the editing of the Bible that is suspect.

I left the Mormon Church 35 years ago to become a Christian and all I can say is: It just gets better and better! Hallelujah

God bless these young people and praise God for the work that He did in there Hearts, for it is the Word of God that is active at work calling all His children home.

I joined the Mormon Church back in 1977, after having read many of the major so-called "anti-Mormon" books of the day. Today, now these many years later, I have found that The Spirit of The Lord teaches "truth" better than any book. Today, I would not want to throw away the 95% I do understand over the 5% I do not. I do know, that as I follow the Commandments and live in the Grace of Jesus, that I feel closer to Him, and our Father in Heaven. You may enjoy my Indie Movie; "Sisters Go Ye Trailer 2" on YT

You are such a beautiful bunch of people, God bless you heaps on your journey.

I’m a Member and have been so into Bible, alone, this is so deep♥️

This video is beyond an amazing testimonial of when people become born again by the true Christ of the bible regardless of their religious background..

I feel sorry for these people who have lived as members of the Mormon church for so long, without EVER understanding what it's true teachings are. We are taught that we are saved by the grace of Jesus Christ when we do all we can to be obedient to God. We will always fall short, but we are expected to be kind and treat others with respect.

Being LDS sounds a bit exhausting :) "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matt11:28 :) And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we do to you, 13 so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints. 1Tess3:12-13 It's about love first, not works. :) Greetengs from Norway! :)

When it comes to cults, a lot of people outside of their organizations know more about their religion than members do. It is hard for members of these cults to believe this because they have been in it many years if not their entire lives. It makes them hard headed ass hats to get through to them all the while they are selling their religion to others. It can best be described as a social illness humanity suffers from.

I recently saw an LDS film depicting the Prophet Joseph Smith Jr. as about the most humble man who ever lived. In honor of his deep humility I would like to post some humble words of encouragement by this great, humble man. "Come on! ye prosecutors! ye false swearers! All hell, boil over! Ye burning mountains, roll down your lava! for I will come out on top at last. I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet...When they can get rid of me, the devil will also go." (History of the Church, Vol. 6, p. 408, 409) Now, I ask all who hear me, why the learned men who are preaching salvation, say that God created the heavens and the earth out of nothing? The reason is, that they are unlearned in the things of God, and have not the gift of the Holy Ghost; they account it blasphemy in any one to contradict their idea. If you tell them that God made the world out of something, they will call you a fool. But I am learned, and know more than all the world put together. The humility and sincerity of this man brings a tear to my eye and a lump in my throat. I'm sure you are choking up right now, or at least gagging.

Matthew 7:21-23 King James Version. "21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity". Jesus' Words from his own mouth.

I love you folks so much. God Bless you. Your brother in christ.

"Mormons rise in this life because it is what their religion calls for. Achieving. Progressing. Learning. Forward, upward motion. This is the lifeblood of earthly Mormonism. Management, leadership, and organizing are the essential skills of the faith. It is no wonder that Mormons have grown so rapidly and reached such stellar heights in American culture. And there is much more to come." Stephan Mansfield, New York Times Bestselling Author

Thank you for your wonderful testimony.My journey in Mormonism has not been a walk in the park.

I am a member of the LDS church and I know Christ is the redeemer of us all and no one comes unto the Father but by Him. E.g. I am a christian

In writing the Book of Mormon, Joseph Smith Jr. tripped himself up very severely. Various errors UNIQUE to the copy of the bible Joseph Smith owned (1769 KJV) are in the Book of Mormon ! This shows, undeniably, that Joseph Smith used the 1769 KJV as a reference and plagiarised text from that Bible. Refer: 2 Nephi 19:1, 2 Nephi 21:3, 2 Nephi 16:2, 2 Nephi 23:21-22. We are told that the Book of Mormon was written and buried in the 400s AD, and that Joseph Smith discovered the plates in 1827, some 1,400 years later. The 1769 edition of the King James Bible contained some specific ERRORS that are UNIQUE to that edition. In other words, those particular errors occur ONLY in the 1769 Bible, nowhere else, so they are easy to identify. Refer to the Book of Mormon: 2 Nephi 19:1, 2 Nephi 21:3, 2 Nephi 16:2, 2 Nephi 23:21-22. How is it that those unique errors from the King James 1769 Bible appear in the Book of Mormon, which was written and buried some 1,300 years earlier? HOW is that possible? HOW could the writer of the Book of Mormon know what would be written in the 1769 King James Bible some 1,300 years later? The fact that those unique errors are found in the Book of Mormon is overwhelming proof that Joseph Smith himself wrote the BofM and copied material from his 1769 King James Bible. What other possible explanation is there? Here are the sections I have mentioned: 2 Nephi 19:1 Nevertheless, the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun, and the land of Naphtali, and afterwards did more grievously afflict by the way of the Red Sea beyond Jordan in Galilee of the nations. 2 Nephi 21:3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord; and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears. 2 Nephi 16:2 Above it stood the seraphim; each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 2 Nephi 23:21 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there. 2 Nephi 23:22 And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces; and her time is near to come, and her day shall not be prolonged. For I will destroy her speedily; yea, for I will be merciful unto my people, but the wicked shall perish. As I said, Joseph Smith tripped himself up by plagiarising. He obviously did not know about the unique errors in his 1769 KJ Bible... just as he did not suspect that one day Egyptian hieroglyphs would be fully deciphered, proving his "translation" of the "Book of Abraham" an absolute fraud. /

GREAT TESTIMONY TO THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS!!! Enjoyed watching and tears of joy running down my face as Heavenly Hosts REJOICING WHEN WE FOUND JESUS CHRIST OF THE BIBLE!!! Jesus Christ is forever standing and knocking!!! We just need to open the door!!! Thank You God for Christ Jesus!!!

I have a testimony to tell, which actually led me to this video. Yesterday, because it is now after midnight, to young mormon missionaries came into my home. The doctrine of Joseph Smith was told to me and it was as foreign to me as the Latin language to a Japanese person. I wanted to share the love of Jesus Christ so desperately, I kinda did in a way, but I didnt dive to deep with them because I knew that they were fully indoctrinated with a false teaching. I pray that God will give His Word to

Does the Mormon jesus sound like the Jesus of the Bible? Mormon jesus: "And again, I command thee that thou shalt pray vocally as well as in thy heart; yea, before the world as well as in secret, in public as well as in private." (D&C 19:28) Jesus of the Bible: "When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. "But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret."(Matthew 6:6) What is wrong with this picture?

I appreciate this. Thank you.

I was a born again Christian back in the 70s, but I became LDS because modern, sectarian Christianity lacked everything that early Christianity offered. In fact, sectarians classify as evil everything that's been restored and which were a central part of first century Christianity. The wonders of Christian atonement these people found in the Bible and were so deeply received by them is all in the Book of Mormon! Works are not inconsequential. Although works do not save, one cannot be saved without them. There is no salvation by works alone. But to say works like baptism are not essential is foolishness. And to hear some of these stories, I'm frankly skeptical. That a BYU professor couldn't answer that question about marriage is inconceivable. I've read nearly everything that Joseph Smith ever wrote about doctrine, priesthood, keys and covenants, and they fill the void left by centuries of apostasy. If these people were open-minded enough to read the epistles of the ancient apostles, they ought to be open enough to read the stories of modern apostles -- like the AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF PARLEY P. PRATT and the writings of Orson Hyde, Heber C. Kimball, Wilford Woodruff and others. One of the premises of this video is that the Bible is very Christ-centric, but the Book of Mormon and Doctrine & Covenants are not. It makes me wonder if these people have ever read the Book of Mormon! The saints are imperfect and that's a central part of the faith, but these people sound as though it's the complete opposite. It's all foolishness. If God can do anything, as these people claim, why did He not simply speak the earth into existence? Why did it take him more than six "days"? And why was there a need for the atonement? Why did He not remove the bitter cup? Why does he subject man to the horrors of mortality? If Jesus suffered and died to negate the effects of the fall, why then are people still being born subject to death? Why is there still death and misery in the world? To abandon the restored gospel, one must return to the ignorance that the fall of man was a horrible mistake and not a planned event. It is to deny the precept that man could not become perfect without both the fall and the atonement! This is only taught in Greek/Eastern Orthodxy and Mormonism. Mormonism answers all the questions the Bible doesn't. If God honors man's free agency, why are we forced to endure earth life and mortality? And why are we subject to an eternity in hell? If God made man imperfect, then why must man pay the consequences of sin -- why must _anyone_? And why would God need a Son? All of these questions are answered in Mormonism, but are left open in secular Christianity. According to the scriptures of the Restoration, no man comes to the earth without his or her consent. Earth life strengthens and disciplines men and provides testing that we cannot receive in Heaven. There are no angels in Heaven who were not formerly people or will be people. (As the angel told John, "I am thy fellow servant and of thy brethren the prophets....") Instead of finding answers in the Bible that aren't answered in Mormonism, I (and others) find it just the opposite. Mormonism fills in the blanks of who we are, why we're here and where we're going. That these people can't see that is indicative of a far greater problem. They should awaken, find the iron rod and follow it, for it leads to CHRIST and to eternal life. They need not change their love or appreciation of what they've learned in the epistles, for those writers all tutored Joseph Smith and perhaps others in our dispensation. We have the fullness of the gospel, and I could never go back to believing only the Bible. .

This video is very well put together. It has been edited in a coherent and effective manner. The premise "Difficult Questions that every LDS Mormon needs to answer" is clever. However, the presentation is very one-sided. There is no appropriate context offered. No rebuttal. Therefore, one needs's to be careful about drawing an objective conclusion. The editor has created a bias. That may not be a good thing for some. It follows that those being former members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints "Mormon", "LDS" have been chosen to be interviewed. They are giving a true presentation of their changing from one church to another. It is implied that they are changing religions "Mormon" versus "Christian". That in itself may imply to some that the "Mormon" Church is thus not "Christian". That is a poor conclusion. I am sure that if you were asked to list some Christian denominations any of the following might come to mind: Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical, Baptist, Calvin, Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, and many more. In fact there are over 300 different churches that would correctly claim themselves to be "Christian". Of course, depending on your choice of religious affiliation you might argue whether they are "Christian". But, that is merely your opinion. In the dictionary it says "Christian" is: "a person who has received Christian baptism or is a believer in Christianity.". So technically, all these churches are "Christian"...Including members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You may disagree but...that is your opinion. Christianity is one religion in an array of Major Religions in the world. You would probably argue that the adherents of any other Major Religion: Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and several others are on the wrong path. They, by your definition, are not on a path of salvation. In, effect, they are all lost. That is a poor conclusion. We have an answer to that. But that's another conversation. To an atheist or agnostic most everyone else is confused or deluded. Of course you would just smile and walk away knowing who is confused! One of my concerns is how it appears that those in the video seem to have misunderstood what the LDS Church actually teaches. There seems to be the impression that their knowledge of the Bible while they were Mormon seems marginal or that there was a minimal emphasis on studying the Bible. In the LDS Church there is a four year study cycle. 1) The Old Testament, 2) The New Testament, 3) The Book of Mormon, and 4) The Doctrine and Covenants. A year is spent focusing on each of these books of scripture. Notice that two years are spent on the Bible. The Bible is a foundational work to the Mormon. Of course the Book of Mormon has a significant emphasis to us. But keep in mind that the Book of Mormon text includes many references to the Bible: The books of Moses, Isaiah, and others are referred to extensively. The very premise of the Book of Mormon is "...to the convincing of the Jew and Gentile that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God...". So, there is a strong affiliation in the Latter-day Saint mind and heart with the Bible. However, that does not seem apparent in the minds of the people in the video based on the comments in the video. Another concern is where some in the video seem to have been easily convinced by some they perceived to be authoritative by the logical arguments they were given. Some of these arguments they were convinced to be contradictory to LDS teachings. In fact many of the claims they suggest are not contradictory with the teachings of the Bible. Most are in harmony with biblical teachings. You will recoil at my statement! However, many of the teachings we Mormons propose were current teachings in the original Church of Christ. In fact these teachings did not change for over 300 years. After that time significant and radical changes were made. Over the years the newer changes were accepted as being the "original" teachings. But that is not true. Some Bible scholars discuss this as historical fact. My point is that relying of solely "logical" or "right sounding" arguments or "proof" can get you into trouble. If you follow the same path these people took they could also be swayed by someone else outside their current faith - outside of Christianity, in another major world religion - or even by an atheist or agnostic. One of the young men mentioned his flirting with that concept, although briefly. In a word a "good argument" can put in a good place. But, it can trip you up. Someone in the Baptist camp or the Evangelical camp will concede some common beliefs. But after a conversation they will walk away knowing the other poor soul is confused, perhaps at his own peril! My suggestion is to keep an open mind and heart. There are MANY things that the Mormons can learn from a Baptist, Catholic or "Christian" - and we do. Essentially, the Catholic preserved that majority of what we call the Bible. But, some "Christian" churches would dismiss that church. Not good. Also, some can learn MANY things from the LDS Church. We offer that freely and with a spirit of enthusiasm. None of us get paid for doing it. You can share with us. Let us share with you. Interfaith exchanges are a good thing. The former BYU professor, a doctor talked against putting up walls. It should go both ways. Some claims were made against the LDS church and its history. Every church has had some "problems" with its history and leaders. Some people would consider Peter's denial of Christ (THREE times) as being problematic....That's another conversation... The concept of modern day revelation, of a living prophet is pivotal. For a very long time (milenia) that concept was not a problem. Around 315 A.D. it was arbitrarily decided that revelation and adding books as scripture was not to be tolerated. You need to sincerely address that concept. Having a living prophet in Moses's day was acceptable. It was okay during Abraham's time. People didn't have a problem with what Isaiah had written. Accepting the habit of the Twelve Apostles writing to the church members over a period of time to address new questions and problems...acceptable. But, today that is not acceptable... If God is the same, yesterday, today, tomorrow..... What it really boils down to is there is a living prophet. All the scriptures the Mormons teach from are true and teach good things. The teachings of the LDS church are uplifting and honorable. If you study what we have to say with a sincere heart, do your homework, you will be blessed. Plant a seed, as it were. Give it a chance to take root. Then, and this is the key, you need to pray about it. Then you need to listen - to Heavenly Father. Don't rely on the logic or understanding of those that deny. Like that one young man, you could end up an agnostic or an atheist. You will end up confused maybe angry. One young man, after leaving the LDS church says that he finally read the "Bible for the very first time" concerns me. I am glad that he is finally reading it. But, he should have done that before he went on a mission - shouldn't he? Any wonder why he was easily swayed? In the Bible there is a parable that Christ taught. There is mention of seeds being sown. Some fall on good soil, some not. When the sun comes some seeds take root. Others don't, they wither. Learn from that. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the True church. Jesus Christ is at the Head of this church. The Bible hints of a falling away. His Church was restored in the latter days. It is organized in the same way that He organized His Church two millennia ago. We depend on the Atonement of Jesus the Christ. Without Him we are lost. That is what we believe. That is what we teach. The video closes by quoting from Ephesians 2:8-9. We also subscribe to what Paul is saying. Unfortunately, some misrepresent our understanding of Paul's words. As I said in the beginning "There is no appropriate context offered." If you are having doubts about us, include us in your assessment. Get both sides, objectively. Study, do your homework, pray, listen - sincerely. There are no easy answers. It requires earnesty and work. It is meant to be that way. If you take shortcuts...well... Thank you for your time. If you were living in my area I would love to have a conversation with you. I would drive a reasonable distance to listen to you. We are all children of God. Therefore, you are my sister or my brother! Take care.

You are FREE in JESUS CHRIST my fellowmen.

I have a question to all non-Mormons: What would you do if your parent, sibling, child, significant other, best friend, etc., told you that they were getting baptized into the LDS church? And don't say what you wouldn't do, I want to know what you WOULD do.

Brigham Young, the 2nd Mormon false prophet, declared, ”The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those who enter into polygamy." Brigham Young, a practitioner and promoter of polygamy, revealed this nonsense in his Sunday Service to the self-proclaimed, latter-day saints, Salt Lake City, August 19, 1866 (Journal of Discourses, V.11 p269) Brigham Young so highly esteemed by Mormons they named a university in Utah after him. The Bible declares, “But as many as received him, [Jesus Christ] to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:” (John 1:12)

Your best source of information about an organization is ALWAYS disaffected former members.

*"Every serious Mormon needs to address these issues. They must not be ignored. Serveral Interviews with Former mormons about what could shake their faith in the Mormon Church. (From SacredGroves)"* *Terry replies:* Oh, really? How about this: The very _last_ thing I'm going to do, is take advice about my religion from someone who used to be in it, but quit. So these folks talked about what shook their faith. I respect their right to do so, of course, but don't make the mistake of assuming that the same things that shook their faith will also shake the faiths of every other LDS member. *"Every serious Mormon needs to address these issues. They must not be ignored."* Tough cookies, dudes, because that's exactly what I'm going to do. I addressed the same issues a long time ago, and I'm still a member. Happily so.

Mormons have the "fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ'' in the four Standard works of the Church, living Prophets and Apostles, Priesthood Authority and temple and missionary work. They strive for Exaltation in the next life, for the highest blessings, which is difficult for people of other Faiths to comprehend.

At first when I found out the actual and honest belief system of the LDS, that THEY are the True Church, and all the other "churches" that believe in Christ and follow historical biblical teachings are not gonna reach Heaven with Father (but the middle terrestrial heaven), I was pissed! I laid into a sweet Mormon friend...she is sweet, but her pride and arrogance came out when she finally, FINALLY was honest with me. I was consumed with offense and indignation out of Love for "my" Brothers and Sisters who are looked down upon by Mormons. I vented on her then railed on FB about Mormonism for all the world to see. Wow. I was wrong to do that. Was I wrong, technically, about the LDS? No. But the spirit in my heart was more of fiery condemnation instead of the Truth spoken in Love. I repented ( on my Wall! ) and have reaped the deeper revelation of His Love for my friend, for the LDS. I reflected more upon Mormons and realized that, of course, they are like every other human being in that they trust those above them as "authoritative" and that such leaders are obviously telling them "the truth". I mean, to question their parents and teachers and priests would fundamentally potentially shake up their whole world view, their whole paradigm. That is not simple for anyone, right? But I do feel it is intrinsically offensive to the Holy Spirit who testifies to the Truth of Christ. I do feel that Joseph Smith was quite charismatic and persuasive; it is not surprising to know of his "new" revelation as "the" religion, building impressive numbers in membership. Then throw in that the Christian Church committed evils against him and Mormons and you have a self-fulfilling prophecy: the "truth" is validated against the acts of criminals by "those apostates". The Church didn't help the Cause of Truth by sinning against the LDS. ( Have we truly confessed and repented of those terrible sins? ) My Love now is at a deeper level for the LDS, for Mormons, and I truly respect their spiritual desires to honor God, to build their Testimony, to seek God's approval and Ultimate Heavenly call. I also feel genuinely sorry for Mormons in that I think the inner Temple and rituals and deeper meanings of the religion are not borne of the One True God, but a deceptive, dark, distracting influence...a sinister source. With all due respect, I am not better than anyone on this earth, Christian, Mormon, Atheist, and so on. It is the Saving Grace through Faith of Christ that brings Salvation and Favor through being washed by the Blood of the Lamb...of being born again. The only difference is that His Grace has blessed me unto that Salvation. Again, it doesn't make "me" better than anyone in and of "myself". It is God. It is His Glory alone. I wish that for all of the LDS church. I wish them only the Best.

The disappointing thing about them leaving LDS, is that they still ended up believing in an ancient book that no one even knows who wrote it. While Joseph Smith was clearly a fiction writer, putting your entire life's belief in religion without "any" basis in fact is a big assumption to make. Religion is a artifact that I think will eventually disappear. It helped the human race in many ways but also proves very destructive in many ways. Humans can live moral, fulfilling, and productive lives without religion. There is no basis to believe we survive the termination of our brains.

I feel so bad, because I understand my savior so much better from the clearer writings of the book of mormon

There are no hard questions. I am out.

Faith is such a sacred thing. We should cherish everyone who has faith from whatever walk of life they come, Christians, Jews, Buddhist, Muslims etc. We are all imperfect, lacking a perfect knowledge of all things. Before we reach out to proudly to correct others we should reach to God and understand His will for us. A sign of pure religion is an educated humility.

The LDS church is a wonderful church. Joseph Smith was a true prophet & did see God The Father & his Son Jesus Christ. As Latter Day Saints "We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in his Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost." Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost are 3 separate people. We also know that we are the ONLY true church here on this earth today & forever. Please join us in our church. We welcome anyone and everyone. Heavenly Father loves u even if u aren't LDS & so do we.

Praise God for these testimonies!!!! It is so great to hear their eyes are opened and the veil is gone.

As an atheist, it saddens me to read discussions among believers. ..so much anger, insults, hate. I've never understood why belief in deities turns people against one another, even to the point of violence. But, that is what the God of Love teaches... "But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me." -- Luke 19:27

I have believed in the book of Mormon from 17 Year's old knowing nothing about religion and found peace, a terrible accident left me taking prescribed pain meds for my whole adult life. I believed in the BOM that I read and prayed to get off the pain meds after 21 years. Now I feel I am being persecuted. Now I'm in search why would I feel like I am being persecuted, I know my body & my Family cannot keep being radiated from our persecution. This has been going on for 3 months now. My family lives in Palmer / Butte Alaska. I don't know anything else about Religion, I have turned to Google for that help.

I am a serious member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Ive studied all the 4 standard works incl the Bible since I was baptised at the age of 8. My mum was brought up on the Bible and taught us from it. And with studying the BoM it sealed my testimony in the Saviour and His true Church on the Earth. All these questions you say are difficult I have answered for myself through my own personal study and research but i don't feel this is a forum to share my personal experiences. No one in this world is perfect and the Key to Real Truth and Real Faith is Obedience in the Lord, Jesus Christ and understanding how He answers our prayers and our questions (which I have asked all the ones these persons mention in this video). I do appreciate your testimonies of Jesus Christ though. He is the God of the Old Testament, came to Earth in the New Testament to Atone for our Sins and appeared to His followers in the Americas and in the isles of the Sea after His death. He is our spirit brother, Heavenly Father's first born and only Begotten. And when He returns to Earth again, We will all SEE He is the Same Jesus you and I, a Mormon/Christian, know Him as!

we are saved exclusively by the grace of Jesus Christ's atoning sacrifice alone without any works, and without the principle of repentance and turning away from sin then I ask:- Why did Paul write so often to Christian congregations admonishing them to abandon their sinful ways? Why did Paul have to tell believing Christians that those who committed various sins could not be saved in the kingdom of God? Why did Paul teach that Christ is “the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe?” Why did Paul say that “godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation?“ Why did Paul tell the Philippians to “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling?” When discussing “the grace of God that bringeth salvation,” why does Paul say that it teaches “that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world?” Why does the epistle to the Hebrews say that Jesus was “the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him?” Also, and this is critical. Have you had the same experience or a similar experience as did President Lorenzo Snow when he prayed for a reassuring witness of the truth? I testify to you that I had the exact same experience many years ago. I would sincerely recommend to you that you ponder upon what he wrote in 'Teachings of Presidents of the Church' Lorenzo Snow ,Chapter 3. Its in LDS Library. You see the world is full of delusional influences specifically engineered to throw you off the path which could lead you back to your Eternal home. Some of them seem most attractive and appealing at the time, particularly when conflicting verses continually show up in the very Holy Bible itself. After all, you can pick and choose the ones you prefer, and reject the rest. None of your so called Christian friends will agree with me, but if you have already been party to that experience I am referring to , then in view of the actions you have taken in spite of that experience, you may find that you have unwittingly put yourself, and your family with you in extremely perilous circumstances. Maybe the bible scholar who translated from the original Greek had a late night out before he translated Titus 3:5. But whether he had or not, the Bible is replete with directly conflicting instructions? If you were a barrister defending the scholars' translations of the Bible in a court of law, and your submissions to the court in defense of truth were based on scripture with conflicting verses, then the prosecuting attorney would take both you and your scriptures to the cleaners. But I'm sure everything you are doing now feels perfectly normal, even beautiful and wonderful to you. You see, it was all subtly designed so that you would feel that way , through the philosophies of men, mingled with scripture.. The Lord said of such individuals " They draw near to me with their mouths, but their hearts are far from me".

I cannot believe the light weight nature of all the comments made. All of their questions that they say stumped them, shocked them to the core, caused them to depart from the LDS Church are so very basic. It surprises me that so much time was dedicated to the production of this message when the substance is so piecemeal and lacking in substance. It is a shame. It is only by the power of the Holy Ghost that man may know for himself the truth of any thing. This is the defining and only perfect source provided to us by our loving Heavenly Father that we may embrace, so that in turn we are never deceived. My young children fully understand the key points that are being used as the basis for the decisions these folks have made. It is sad that so little understanding is being manifest by the words of these fine people. Although not surprising, it saddens me that in my personal experience and supported by this body of work too few understand let alone possess the Gift of The Holy Ghost. Additionally, I have witnessed far to many that have been given the Gift but have never utilized the power that God extends to all of his children through this priceless gift. Overall the most disturbing are the numerous statements that are just completely false as to the beliefs of members of the LDS church. Christ is mentioned more in the Book Of Mormon that any other record upon the earth.

I was once an Investigator of the LDS church, along with my lady. She got really into it, I started asking questions and looking in places the church said I shouldn't. Now I'm single, and happily sitting somewhere between agnostic and atheist. And I gotta tell you, I miss my girl, but I'm glad I'm free.

Video title 'difficult questions every lds mormon needs to answer'. Actual video; ex-mormons who leave religion after reading bible. Such click bait. These people leave a religion and start a new ministry named 'Adams road ministry'. The questions mentioned, were personal ones, that they could not find the answers to.

We do good works BECAUSE we are saved, not TO BE SAVED. Works do not justify our faith, works are evidence of our faith. Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God; Not of works, lest any man should boast." 2 Nephi 25:23 "...for by grace ye are saved AFTER ALL YOU CAN DO" Two completely different gospels. One is good news, the other not so much. The true gospel is surety, the other is not sure. I care for the LDS, and I pray that their hearts and eyes will be open to the truth and can see the contrasting difference.

-Hello, I'd first like to thank you all for your opinions, concerns. and research of religion. I am assured you are all extremely intelligent and I value all your opinions, beliefs, cultural opinions, backgrounds, and I have my own to share with you. I was baptized at the age of eight into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. My family has been active in the LDS church for at least the past four generations and then some. One of my recent favorite scripture from the Book of Mormon is "11We Claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship, how, when, or what they may." (Articles of Faith 11, Book of Mormon) You may choose according to YOUR mind whatever you want., please allow me the same courtesy. -We are one as a church. Not everyone will act the same way or follow all the rules the way they should. No one is perfect and we are not all the same. Thankyou. -Who are we to say God didn't use some form of science to create the world? If he created all things didn't he give us science? Then why couldn't he use it himself, is it below him? Science is limited by technology(defined as the application of practical sciences), God is only limited to faith, it is your choice how you limit Him in your life. How or if you let him in is your choice. "7Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; 8For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?" (Luke 11:5-13, King James Version Bible) -Do Mormons believe we have and yield God's power? Power is administered by God to his worthy disciples, anyone worthy of the priesthood, these 'powers' is blessed with it and as long as their actions reflect God's will they have certain power to call upon God. "The word priesthood has two meanings. First, priesthood is the power and authority of God. It has always existed and will continue to exist without end (see Alma 13:7-8; D&C 84:17-18). Through the priesthood, God created and governs the heavens and the earth. Through this power, He exalts His obedient children, bringing to pass “the immortality and eternal life of man” (Moses 1:39; see also D&C 84:35-38)." (lds.org) For more info, to ask questions, or hear about us online you can look at mormon.org/, and www.lds.org/. Thanks so much!

Truth is "everything!" Thank you for this! Thank you so much.

You need to remember the spiritual witness you received as you were living your life in harmony with the teachings of the church. That is why you have these spiritual experiences to help you know what is truth and you know that all religions have some truth.

I watch this beautiful video of former LDS members. I am so glad they have found Christ; because truly ONE MUST seek out Christ whom the prophets have foretold and spoken of. Now, leaving the LDS church is definitely a choice. I was a born again believer and NOW almost over 24 plus years as a member of The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints. It doesn't surprise me that these people or better yet, my brothers and sisters who left the LDS church because the word of God is a double-edged sword; one must take it within the full context of life. When a member who leaves the LDS Church as the above video suggest; then, they no longer accept the pre-existence, pre-mortal, and post-mortal doctrines which Christian Churches do not accept. And, they begin to accept "paid ministers" or what LDS members call "Priest Craft" preaching the word of God for pay. Nevertheless, it is important to be SAVED by GRACE for GRACE alone will ALLOW men and women to be AWAKEN in Christ! Then, once AWAKENED in Christ, we become NEW CREATURES, but one MUST be Baptized and Receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost (John 3:3-5); hence, one cannot enter nor see the kingdom of God. Amen to these brethren and sisters, for they have NO LONGER Slumber BUT are awakened Spiritually. This first in order to live the life of For By GRACE one SAVED after ALL one CAN DO, is the road to Celestial kingdom. To be saved in the many mansions of God is by GRACE, but to be in the presence of God, it will require making and keeping covenants as one follows the discipleship of Christ.

I've been reading The Book of Mormon. It gives me a good feeling.

When I found out that non Mormon Christian churches condemned babies to hell that were not baptized. I was appalled. These people do not understand the fundamentals of the gospel. The book of Mormon explains much of what the Bible has lost. Joseph smith is a true prophet of God and the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints is the one and only church upon the earth that has all of the true doctrine of salvation. God has hidden much happiness in work. We do good works because God requires it of us. Makes perfect sense because he wants us to be happy through work and service. When we learn this mystery we become true servants of Jesus Christ by serving his children with love and patience.

I think the Wilders and the others in this clip should wholeheartedly follow the dictates of their own conscience. I know it takes a great deal of patience and constant truthful self assessment to allow the Lord to help us change, as this is something , many times, we cannot do for ourselves (we are human). I feel a deep gratitude to Jesus Christ, who experienced the incomprehensible task of atoning/standing in our place for all of the horrible sins and weaknesses and hurts and confusions and on and on and on I have done and had done to me in my life. I do everything in my power to do better each day and still fall short. Coming to trust Him and not fight against what He's trying to do in my life for me has been a turning place for me. It has brought me a greater peace and happiness and less self depreciation. I love Him with my whole being.

fantastic so lovely put. thanks for uploading this.

Foolish to think that we can be saved by Grace only... It takes more than that!!!

What I find really troubling about the mormon teachings is how these ex mormons for the most part needed to hear Christian arguments, I am guessing primarily through the internet to really understand the contradictions of their faith. Doesn't the mormon church use the Bible as a foundation? Why haven't these mormons ever read the passages in the Bible that clearly contradict mormon teaching? Does the LDS only focus on the teachings of Joseph Smith? Sounds to me like Mormonism hides a lot of things from their members....

Are these people completely out of it. Paul speaking on Marriage is talking about the choice of staying single to avoid fornication, but he never spoke out against marriage between a man and a woman. Then Paul spoke of himself choosing to stay single

I LOVE this video!:)

DO MORmONS REALLY THINK THERE WERE HORSES AND CHARIOTS AND SWORDS IN THE AMERICAS?

21:02 - I asked this very question to the missionaries back when I was having the discussions. They initially were unaware of the Pauline verses on marriage, but when I pointed them out they did look into it...but then they told me they'd found the answer, but refused to tell me what it was until I had "a testimony". Suffice to say I never found out.

Because many of us have awoken to the truth. As a member of the LDS church I have come to love Christ and rid myself of Mormonism. I, like so many, are judged by the church as 'apostate', or, ' got the devil in ya son'. Demonized for discovering truth. There is little left in the heart of a Mormon for former Mormons (or 'Formons'), no love, just judgement and distain.
