I love these men so much! They are the most amazing people ever! Such kind, gentle and powerful witnesses of Jesus Christ. I am soooooooooo blessed to have them as leaders.
There's a great book by an LDS author that shows that there's perfect harmony between the prophetic statements concerning the garden of Eden being in Missouri and the Old Testament account concerning the garden of Eden. It's called Canaan, Babylon, and Egypt A Comparative Theological Analysis on Creation sold by Eborn Books.

James McCluskey Heavenly Father answers all prayers if your heart is in tune to Him. He guides those who love others as He loves them. Heavenly Father’s first greatest commandment is to love HIM and others as He loves them. What are the intentions of your heart? Individuals who are critical, find fault, angry, etc... Heavenly Father withdraws. You have to be willing and obedient to His commandments.
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. Ephesians 2:8-9 @t
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? James 2

Also check out: We can look at the problems of LDS and the changes that GOD would never rescind for any reason: 1) polygamy stopped suddenly in 1890 2) racism ended in 1978 3) the consequences of the 'blood oath' penalty was removed in 1990 4) Men are no longer intermediaries between women and God in the temple in 2019 Let's look at the old false teachings that were once considered solid "true" beliefs but are ignored now: 1) Adam is the God over this earth, under the supervision of yet a higher god, and the father of Jesus 2) Polygamy is required for exaltation 3) Blacks are cursed 4) Heavenly Father and Mary had intercourse to create Jesus on earth 5) Blood atonement for crimes 6) No heavenly reward without consent and "the certificate of Joseph Smith"
Mormons call their church - the church of JESUS Christ of latter day saints.. Question: Do I need to believe in Jesus Christ to enter a level of Mormon heaven?... Answer NO. Question: Do I need to believe that Joseph Smith was a Prophet, Seer and Revelator of God to join the church of JESUS Christ of latter day saints?... Answer: YES. WHOSE CHURCH IS THIS AGAIN?
Please read the Book of Mormon. Everywhere in the book it shows that faith in Jesus Christ is the only way. I don't know why you want to bash us. I don't have to know. What I do know as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is that Jesus Christ is my Savior and He has enabled me to have peace in my soul and experience a love that I never thought possible.
@@lilledrum what is even more creepy is these observations: We can look at the problems of LDS and the changes that GOD would never rescind for any reason: 1) polygamy stopped suddenly in 1890 2) racism ended in 1978 3) the consequences of the 'blood oath' penalty was removed in 1990 4) Men are no longer intermediaries between women and God in the temple in 2019 Let's look at the old false teachings that were once considered solid "true" beliefs but are ignored now: 1) Adam is the God over this earth, under the supervision of yet a higher god, and the father of Jesus 2) Polygamy is required for exaltation 3) Blacks are cursed 4) Heavenly Father and Mary had intercourse to create Jesus on earth 5) Blood atonement for crimes 6) No heavenly reward without consent and "the certificate of Joseph Smith"
> Joseph Smith is a False Prophet. He preached a different gospel. He also incorporated FreeMason ceremonies into the false "Temple". And Joseph Smith taught of a different GOD. The Burning in the bosom is a deceitful heart, Truth (JESUS) is determined by the Word of God. John 1:1-5; Jesus is eternal like the Father, NOT a created being. Jesus Christ offers the free gift of Grace through Faith. Jesus stated he is the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE! Jesus fulfilled the Law and the Prophets! - 1 Corinthians 1:17-19 King James Version (KJV) 17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. 18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. - Philippians 2:10-11 King James Version (KJV) 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. - Romans 3:23-24 King James Version (KJV) 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: - Jeremiah 17:9 King James Version (KJV) 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? - Ephesians 2:8-10King James Version (KJV) 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. - 2 Corinthians 11:13-15King James Version (KJV) 13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. - Galatians 1:8-9 King James Version (KJV) 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. Revelation 21:22-23King James Version (KJV) 22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. 23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. Trust in Jesus. Not a man made religion that leads people away from the truth. Baptism does not save you. Works do not save you. But Faith in Jesus and his Blood shed on the CROSS and His death on the Cross and the Resurrection of three days is the Way of Salvation.
Do you know what your lds church leaders teach? The roots of mormonism come from a tree of bad fruit. (ref. Mat 7:15-20) The Bible teaches that there is ONE God. Not three separate gods. Smith preached a different Jesus who is a created being, compare this with John 1:1-14. The later false prophets, such as Brigham Young, taught that Adam is God. The LDS corporation enslaves its members in chains of Darkness. Jesus said "I am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the Father except through me" Jesus also Said in John 3 that no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is Born Again not by the Flesh but in the Spirit. Joseph Smith said he was better than Jesus-God incarnate in the flesh. "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."

(2 nephi 25:23) Rather backwards from the Biblical Grace. Ephesians 2:8-10; Romans 1:16-17; Romans 10:9. John 11:25-27King James Version (KJV) 25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? 27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world Romans 5:8-18 (KJV) 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. 12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. 15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. 16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. 17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. Trinity: 1 John 5:7 - For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. ONE GOD: Isaiah 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
@ce collie Galatians 1:6-8 King James Version (KJV) 6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Titus 3:3-7 King James Version (KJV) 3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 King James Version (KJV) 13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
@ce collie Jude 4 King James Version (KJV) 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Over the years I have become increasingly uncomfortable with humour sneaking into conferences, these seem scripted and planed for on most occasions as some entertainment to find favour or lighten the burden it seems of instruction, ( gaining favour and the ego driven familiarity of weakness in faith( Conferences are for enlightenment and sacred instruction not a place of natural humour or light heartedness, these are symptoms and distractions of this world, this is a new phenomenon of latter day times of noah
In 2 Nephi 5, where it talks about a "devout" Jewish family who built a "temple" outside of the place God chose to place His name, and this same family, who are not permitted to hold the Jewish priesthood, served as priests. According to the BOM they came from Joseph, which means they're either from Ephraim, or Manasseh. According to the law God gave my people (I AM A JEWISH CHRISTIAN), our priests are to come from Aaron, and his sons, who come from Levi. The only place in the Torah (Genesis through Deuteronomy) where we read of the Melchizedekian priesthood is when Abraham makes tithes to him. In the Messianic Psalm (Ps. 110) we read of Messiah being Melchizedek, and this is confirmed in Hebrews 5-10 (I AM A JEWISH CHRISTIAN). My question is this, if the BOM is God's word, why does it contradict Scripture, when Scripture isn't supposed to contradict Scripture? Live up to 1 Peter 3:15, and answer the question without dodging it. As missionaries, you're to be apologists, I know as I am a missionary to my own people, preaching the Gospel to my fellow Jews. Many arguments, and debates arise, I need to live up to 1 Peter 3:15 in order to minister effectively to my people. Don't quote the articles of faith either, that doesn't answer anything. As missionaries on the mission field you'll encounter people who've studied, and if you can't answer their questions, than you're ineffective for missions work. 1 Peter 3:15 is what all missionaries need to live up to, myself included. Your version of Christ is completely different than what the Bible teaches. Mormons teach that Lucifer (Satan), and Christ are brothers, where as Scripture doesn't teach this at all. Your view of the Godhead is completely distorted as well. You believe in Elohim, and Jehovah being separate, where as Scripture teaches they're the same. There is one God, three personages of the Godhead (the Trinity). In Hebrew we claim Jehovah/Elohim Echad (echad is the plurality of one, such examples of this is found in Genesis 2:24 where God says the two shall become echad/one flesh). In the endowment video that is shown during the endowment ceremony (there is a hidden camera video of the entire ceremony on RU-vid) it talks about Elohim (which is one Hebrew word for God, I might point out the plural ending of im, which to me is another proof of the trinity), Jehovah (Yehovah, YHVH in Hebrew is God's name, Christians from non Jewish backgrounds will tend to say Yahweh, or Jehovah), and Michael. At the creation of Adam (man), Michael becomes the first human being, not remembering anything of his life prior to becoming Adam. Now for a serious student of the Bible this would be an asinine belief, as Scripture (which is only the Bible) doesn't support this. Scripture is quite clear: Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness. They will rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the livestock, all the earth, and the creatures that crawl on the earth.” So God created man in His own image; He created him in the image of God; He created them male and female. (Genesis 1:26, 27 HCSB) Then the Lord God formed the man out of the dust from the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being. (Genesis 2:7 HCSB) Thus how can Michael be the first human on planet earth? Furthermore Since the Heavenly Father, Yeshua the Messiah, and the Holy Spirit are one, all members of the triune Godhead, how can Satan and Yeshua be brothers? Granted I do understand that you "Latter-day Saints" do not understand the triunity of God, nor believe it, the fact is this, according to Scripture, God the Father, and God the Son, are one (John 14:7, and John 17 are examples of this). Now that I've shown you this, please go back to the exposure of error I made in 2 Nephi 5. One more point, remember Satan is a fallen angel, who was trying to take God's throne (Isaiah 14), Yeshua is the Lamb seated on the throne Revelation 4:4-6, 5:6-12, 6:16, 7:9-17 12:11 13:8, 17:14, 21:23, 22:1-3). Yeshua, THE EXACT IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD, (Colossians 2), WHO IS EQUAL TO GOD (Colossians 2, Hebrews 1), IS NOT THE BROTHER OF SATAN! Just because your church claims to be the church of JC, doesn't mean that it's true. You don't worship God in Spirit and in Truth, thus you're not a worshiper of God. You are a pantheist, and this proves my point: The Gods plan the creation of the earth and all life thereon--Their plans for the six days of creation are set forth. 1 And then the Lord said: Let us go down. And they went down at the beginning, and they, that is the Gods, organized and formed the heavens and the earth. 2 And the earth, after it was formed, was empty and desolate, because they had not formed anything but the earth; and darkness reigned upon the face of the deep, and the Spirit of the Gods was brooding upon the face of the waters. 3 And they (the Gods) said: Let there be light; and there was light. 4 And they (the Gods) comprehended the light, for it was bright; and they divided the light, or caused it to be divided, from the darkness. 5 And the Gods called the light Day, and the darkness they called Night. And it came to pass that from the evening until morning they called night; and from the morning until the evening they called day; and this was the first, or the beginning, of that which they called day and night. 6 And the Gods also said: Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and it shall divide the waters from the waters. 7 And the Gods ordered the expanse, so that it divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so, even as they ordered. 8 And the Gods called the expanse, Heaven. And it came to pass that it was from evening until morning that they called night; and it came to pass that it was from morning until evening that they called day; and this was the second time that they called night and day. (Abraham 4:1-8) How can you believe such blasphemous garbage? THERE IS ONE GOD, ELOHIM, WHO IS ECHAD (A COMPOUND UNITY)! In Scripture it's teaches: שמע ישראל יהוה אלהינו יהוה | אחד Hear Israel, Jehovah/Adonai/Elohim (the LORD) our God, the LORD is one (echad). (Deuteronomy 6:4) That word echad is also used for one to explain the oneness of Adam and Eve (who is not Michael by the way, contrary to what the endowment videos teach). You've proven yourselves, by your own false scriptures, not to be of Christ Jesus! You believe in many gods, I know for a fact there's only one God who is Shelosh b'Echad, that is to say, three in one. You claim the Bible is truth, yet you also clain the BOM, POGP, AOF, and D&C, also as scripture, heres the problem with that, Scripture never contradicts Scripture! I've shown you the BOM contradictions, now you need to decide, are the LDS books scripture, or is God's word Scripture? Moroni 10 says: And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost. And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things. Whereas we know that we are not to trust our hearts: Jer. 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Prov. 28:26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered: 15But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: In other words we are to be apologists, provide adequate arguments. To give you further insight, I am ethnically Jewish, I came to Christ from Orthodox Judaism. I'd like an answer to this, and not a cop out. I've asked missionaries these questions when they've come to the door and they couldn't answer, so they walked away. You all need to leave the cult of Smith, and come unto Christ.
+Michael Caza-Schonberger What I do know is I feel the Spirit of God when I read the Book Of Mormon, it helps me to live a Christ like life. It helps me to live righteously. It brings me closer to Heavenly Father. It helps me understand Jesus Christ's life and mission more. This is what scripture is for. It supports the bible, in that it supports Jesus Christ being the Messiah, the only way back to the presence of God. So yes I believe in it whole heartedly. I have prayed about it, because I am a convert and yes I was given crystal clear clarity from God that it is true scripture. I am now teaching the Book of Mormon at church. I am the Gospel Doctrine teacher and through teaching it to others, my testimony of Jesus Christ has been strengthened. My understanding of the Lord's Kingdom has been strengthened, my understanding of Isaiah has grown in leaps and bounds. I am very grateful to the Book Of Mormon for it has given me another witness and testimony of Jesus Christ being the Messiah. In the Name of Jesus Christ Amen
+Michael Caza-Schonberger There are two contradictory accounts of Paul's/Saul's vision on the road to Damascus. There are many more in the Book of Numbers and elsewhere.
@@lilledrum The problem is they do and it backfires when it changes: We can look at the problems of LDS and the changes that GOD would never rescind for any reason: 1) polygamy stopped suddenly in 1890 2) racism ended in 1978 3) the consequences of the 'blood oath' penalty was removed in 1990 4) Men are no longer intermediaries between women and God in the temple in 2019 Let's look at the old false teachings that were once considered solid "true" beliefs but are ignored now: 1) Adam is the God over this earth, under the supervision of yet a higher god, and the father of Jesus 2) Polygamy is required for exaltation 3) Blacks are cursed 4) Heavenly Father and Mary had intercourse to create Jesus on earth 5) Blood atonement for crimes 6) No heavenly reward without consent and "the certificate of Joseph Smith"
Um guys, these guys are the true disciples of Christ. The goal of this church is to bring the truth to all men (meaning the general sense of the term. Mankind I mean.) And to bring happiness to all. They share the words and will of God. The are the the most honest and kind men i know. The best men I have ever heard of. Thankyou for your thoughts, please respond if you read this message.
Also I would like to add that all of Gods reasons are not known to us. God does not share his reasons with us on those matters but we believe and trust in him. We have testimoys of him and if that not enough we have the Book of Mormon, pearl of great price, doctrine in covenants, and the bible. In those books there are several hundred verses of proof that he lives and is our God. And we have proof that Jesus is the Christ. We have proof that he loves us and that if we do what he asks of us and follow his guidelines then we will live with him again. Thankyou for reading.
