At what point are you actually clean from your sins? In most christian religions, members of the religion are encouraged to ask Christ or God for a remission (or cleansing) from their sins. They are taught to repent and be made whole. But what if you pray and you still feel guilty?
In this video, Justin, Kwaku and David talk about what it means to be made clean from your sins and how you can tell if you are clean. We, as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church or LDS Church) believe that we can be made clean through Jesus Christ who has already suffered for us and has taken upon himself our sins. We believe that we can be made clean AND able to move forward through his infinite atonement.

I always struggled to feel the spirit too. I sometimes felt the burning in the bosom, but I also felt that watching Lord of the Rings. Come to find out, even Muslims and Hindus have the same feelings about the truth of Allah and Vishnu. That feeling you get can be experienced by anyone of any faith. Doesn't it make more sense that feelings are not a good reason to beleive? If someone can have faith in Vishnu, and have powerful feelings that confirm their faith, but they can be worshiping the wrong god, doesn't that mean that faith is not a reliable method to discover truth?

The seemingly simple statement "Go and sin no more" is an entire sermon. The Savior did not condemn the woman to death. If he had done that he would have frustrated his own purposes. He was literally preparing to do the work of the atonement at this time - preparing to go to the garden to give us all the chance to repent. If he had "condemned" her (passed judgment of death - that's what the word "condemn" was referring to!) that would have taken away her opportunity to repent. People think because he said "neither do I condemn thee" that he forgave her. Clearly he didn't forgive her. Lets not get that wrong. He told her to repent ("sin no more") and identified her acts as sin. There's also a lot in what he didn't say to the woman. He did not say come and follow me. She wasn't worthy to do that (at least not yet), she was not worthy to join the other disciples. He SENT HER AWAY to repent. Hopefully she did. We don't know.

@@seans5289 That was the Mosaic Law. So that came from God Himself. You'll find it in the Old Testament. That's why it was being offered up as an option to stone her. It wasn't wicked at all. It was just. Adultery is a form of murder. Eye for an eye. Justice. But justice is NOT the higher law. Mercy is the higher law. The Israelites were under the lower law in the Law of Moses. Christ came to fulfill the law. He became the sacrifice that was foreshadowed in the symbolism of the Mosaic blood sacrifices. But to have access to that mercy one must repent. That's very clear here. That is why he sent her away. Repentance seems to be miss-understood by much of modern Christianity. It isn't "working" your way to Heaven. Repentance is a gift to us paid for with Christs blood (and suffering in Gethsemane). But it is required of us to repent, to stop sinning. Don't say you can't stop because he commanded us to stop. It is a prerequisite to mercy. Often confused with the free gift that Paul talks about (resurrection). Always the "free gift" is spoken of in reference to resurrection. Resurrection is a form of salvation (from physical death) but it is not entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven. All will be resurrected because in the end all will confess that Jesus is the Christ. But make no mistake, not everyone will be going to the Kingdom of Heaven. One must repent to receive mercy.

Read what God says about adultery. It is you who need to think about that. Jesus WAS the God of the Old Testament. The great "I am". He gave life, it's his to take on his terms. He didn't transgress anything. We are his. He is GIVING the chance (through repentance that HE paid for with his own blood!) to repent and avoid the true justice for a horrible crime.

Just because you think adultery kills a covenant doesn’t make it murder. The only way adultery is a form of murder is if committing adultery is for some asinine reason cause for public execution. Do you believe that all of the death sentences for minor offenses in the Old Testament were justified as well? And is murdering in the name of a god no longer murder, just because god is involved?

Daisy, did you KNOWINGLY drink the alcohol? Your answer is, "no." It would not, therefore be a sin. Sin is knowing that your actions are wing before you do them. This is why we believe small children cannot sin, because they don't know (and are still learning) right from wrong.

The Lord commands us to forgive all men, including ourselves. If we cannot forgive ourselves, it does severe damage to our mental health, our spirit, our minds, self esteem, and our identity. We won't be able to experience the full healing power of Christ's Atonement. I personally believe that the Culture of the Church is CRAZY, and focuses too much on trying to be perfect, and that we should be ashamed for every little thing we do wrong. This is NOT what the Gospel teaches! Once we recognize and accept we are and always will be imperfect in this life, we are able to put more trust in the Lord and recognize his healing power and what we need to do for our part in the repentance process. My advice is to find yourself, your talents, and your identity that the Lord has in store for you, outside of the CULTURE of the Church. There is a reason Church is changing to only 2 hrs on Sunday, less time at meetings during the week, and more time in the home overall. Elder Holland's Talk October 2013 "Like a Broken Vessel" relates to this. Ya'll are awesome!

Does anyone notice that when he reads 2 Nephi 4: 16-18 @8:41 this sounds very similar to the Apostle Paul’s lament in Romans 7:14-25. This program is really a nice show with kind and obviously caring young guys. But does anyone realize that the Mormon religion is really a very good sounding, good looking, good feeling counterfeit to true Christianity? I take no joy in saying this but it is true. How do I know this you may ask? Because the Jesus of Mormonism isn’t the true Jesus of the Bible. The Jesus of Mormonism isn’t even God, but a man who became A god. In fact, Mormonism teaches that God the Father is merely a man who became A god. Did you know that this is actually blasphemy against the creator of all things? God states in Isaiah that He alone is God and He knows of no other besides Him...So how did this happen ? The Bible tells us that Satan hates God, THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE GOD, and that he is a liar, a deceiver. In fact, the most cunning of all adversaries. Satan knows that God loves His creation and wants us to spend eternity with Him. Satan also knows what his future is, eternity in hades... eternal torment in hell. FOREVER TORMENT...24 HOUR TORMENT...NO RESPITE, NO BREAK TORMENT!!! So Satan has only one desire, to take as many of Gods creations to hell with Him as he can. How? ANY WAY HE CAN!! One of satans favorites is to deceive mankind by using just enough of Gods love letter to us mixed with just enough error conveniently woven in to turn us AWAY from the light of truth. Sinister you might say, Evil to be sure, but very effective none the less. Satan knows that Jesus defeated death at the cross of Calvary and thereby defeated him at the same time...HE HATES THIS!!! So, the Bible tells us we have sinned and fallen short of Gods glory, His perfection. With the stain of sin on us we CANNOT enter heaven. ITS IMPOSSIBLE!! No amount of goodness on our part will EVER fix this... NONE, ZERO!! So how then, if we cannot do ANYTHING to save ourselves, then what? Jesus was sent by God the Father to die in our place... we didn’t earn it, as sinners our righteousness is nothing more than filthy rags... Jesus PAID OUR DEBT AT CALVARY. All we must do is obey God by believing Jesus to be His Son...Fully God and also human, not the counterfeit Mormon Jesus but THE ONE TRUE LIVING GOD IN LIVING FORM. We are promised ETERNAL LIFE if we simply allow God to change us and mold us in the image of His Son by first repenting of our sin by agreeing that we deserve hell with Satan but that we want to have life everlasting in heaven. Not the Mormon counterfeit heaven but the real heaven. Turn away from satans fake to real truth. Not a “ burning in the bosom” fake emotional experience but a solid Acceptance by faith of Gods promise to you and me of “ SAVING GRACE”!!!

God said Behold, the man has become as one of us to know good and evil after Adam ate the fruit so it was God's plan for man to become like God, just as we are his children. I noticed that there's no mention at all of ever walking the Straight and Narrow Path with God that leads into life and salvation that Jesus taught huh Sam? No, you're not even teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ at all you're teaching Paul's teachings by trying to take shortcuts, well there are no shortcuts.. The Holy Ghost Is indeed Felt by a burning in the bossom why, because that's what the two men down the Road of Damascus Felt when Jesus opened to them up the scriptures. Others were also prickled in their hearts by the Spirit like at the Spirits outpouring at Pentacost. It is not correct what you are saying, we must also take up our cross to follow after his Son. You can't just sit there down on the ground with the cross up in your face and just adore it like Adonis without getting up and following after the Savior to walk daily with God. You are not even teaching the whole truth of the Bible. You're not even following Jesus Christ's own example to keep the Father's Commandments to walk in his footsteps so how can you follow Christ unless you are willing to keep the Father's Commandments that he kept?. Jesus set the example for the rest of us to follow by being baptized and then keeping his Father's Commandments and doing his Father's will and that is why in the Church we keep the commandments of God as we follow the Savior in his footsteps..

Respectfully, I would say that the Prophet of your Church, Brigham Young, would disagree with you. "I have never yet preached a sermon and sent it out to the children of men, that they may not call Scripture." - Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses vol. 13 pg. 95 I would consider it a blessing for you to be in a spot you that you must disagree with the Prophet of you church. I understand that the doctrine has changed within the LDS church, but God does not change. You cannot have a revelation from God, and that revelation be proven false. "20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. 21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken? 22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him." Deuteronomy 18:20-22 I'm saying this out of love for you. But Joseph Smith made lots of false prophesies that, according to the Bibles standards, make him a false prophet. I encourage you to put your trust in the One only God, the God of the scriptures. the one who says he doesn't even know of any other gods (Isiah 44:6), which your theology denies. Only the true God can atone for your sins. Turn from this false religion and put your faith in Christ, the true Christ, rather than what Joseph Smith has made him out to be.

If you think the Journal of Discourses is official doctrine for the church members TODAY. Then your Liahona is 150 years all out of date and in the wrong timezone. Those Saints and those Leaders are long since gone. And those books have been álready been thrown out of our local church library because of their age. All that matters is what is being taught today in the church from our current prophet. You don''t understand how revelation works, because revelation is progressive and changes according to the time and circumstances and needs of the people because Revelation can change at any time that the Lord sees fit to make any new changes while guiding his Saints.... Let me make it perfectly clear to you Neese that its not your own Prerrogative to try to counsel the Lord or try to tell the Lord on how to counsel his own Church Leaders on what to do in the church with His Saints, but its the Lord's own personal Prerrogative and choice to choose what to do with his own leaders ok, its not our place to counsel the Lord..

@germanslice 5 лет назад
Revelation from God works just like the Liahona or the director which God changed writings on from time to time on the ball to lead Lehi and his family out of Jerusalem to guide them through all the wilderness so when God is guiding the Saints in the church today, of course directions from church leaders are going to change from time to time as he takes them in a different direction because hes the one who is guiding the Saints. Yes the Lord can change his mind because he has got the power to Command blessings just as he also has the power to Revoke them. James Covel was also promised blessings from the Lord when first he came into the covenant but straightaway he broke the covenant (D&C 40), but also William McLellin he also fell away after a while as well. It was often also that the Lord also rebuked from time to time Joseph Smith for his own weaknesses and warned him also that if he didn't repent of his sins then The Lord would remove him out of his place and choose for himself another prophet. So God is no respecter of persons.....All thoughout the D&C The Lord rebukes the Saints as well as his servants for all their weaknesses, so not even the prophet of God is an exception from the Lord's chastisements. That is why the prophet had to obey the Lord or he would be removed out of his place just the same as the modern prophets we have in the church today. Now if Joseph Smith made this all up as you Christians falsely accuse then he wouldn't be be saying that the Lord chastised him for his own sins and weaknesses and would name the Church the Church of Joseph Smith instead of The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints.... It was the Lord who was doing all the chastising of his Saints when they did not obey the Lord at times but when they obeyed the Lord they were promised blessings from the Lord and from that they learnt obedience. We also see this same revoking also from God when God gave Moses the 10 Commandments only to find Israel had rebelled worshipping a golden Calf, and instead of blessing Israel, God wanted to destroy the people until Moses entreated to the Lord to spare them even though the Lord at that day did destroy a portion of them....So yes God can change his mind and revoke the blessings if people do not obey his commands.

Okay so I was watching one of the comment reading videos and yall said ask if you have a genuine question about the church so heres a really specific question which maybe you all can answer in a video or whatever: Why does the Latter-day Saint church require it’s members to tithe if we no longer have to? Now I know its not technically required but it is a major part of the church and is required for temple entrance and all of that. The commandment for a normative pattern of 10% tithing comes from the Mosaic Law. (It was around before then ie. Abrahams tithe to the priest, but it wasnt a normative pattern or a commandment.) Now when the New Testament comes along with the New Law Jesus comes and he doesnt get rid of the law but he expands on old commandments and outlines what we should now follow. The New Law doesn’t command us to tithe as in the Old Testament. Tithing is mentioned in the New Testament but never as a normative pattern or a commandment that we must give 10%. So now back to the question now that you have more info, why is it a requirement to tithe when the topics not a commandment in the New Law? Many missionaries Ive asked have said that tithing is a restored commandment because modern prophets have received revelation that we should tithe again. But I couldnt take that as an answer because for a LDS believer to site an LDS source to justify an LDS belief isnt logical for a nonLDS member. It would be like a Muslim citing the Quran as justification for an Islamic belief to a non Muslim. So going off of the basis of the Bible alone, why should tithing be required today when the New Law doesnt command us to tithe? Thanks and let me know if you all have an answer!
@kjswims_46
@kjswims_46 5 лет назад
Daniel Moore Okay I get what youre saying about how it tells you in D&C to buy the lands of your inheritance, but thats LDS info, like what I talked about with Muslims using the Quran as justification for their beliefs to non muslims. Like I said, members are forced to pay 10% no, but there is a major emphasis on tithing in the church and it is a requirement in order to enter the temples. So in one way, you are required to tithe in order to access a specific part of the Church. (Not really apart of the physical church but an aspect of the entirety ya know what I mean) Where Im at right now is that if Jesus came and didnt teach us to tithe in a normative pattern with the New Law, but men come 2000 years later and say “Oh hey you should really tithe, also you have to tithe if you want to come into Gods temples.” Who am I supposed to follow, the Men or Jesus?

@@kjswims_46 Great questions. Based strictly on your criteria, I don't think I can answer you satisfactorily. If a Muslim asks you to show, without any Christian material, why he should believe in Jesus Christ, how could one possibly do it? I think the only thing you could do is say, here's what Christian sources say, and it's up to you to determine for yourself whether or not these sources are true. Along a similar vein, when it comes to tithing, our best explanations probably come from the Doctrine and Covenants, and the words of the prophets. Now it's up to you to study and pray over them. As Christians we believe God answers prayers, right? So, if that's true, while one may be skeptical of Latter-day Saint sources, we can sincerely ask God about them and receive an answer as to their veracity. I think that's the only way to figure stuff like this out. It's probably not the answer you were hoping for, but it's the best one I've got.

H H Hey yeah youve got good points, but what would you rather do in my situation? Believe in men who have come 2000 years after Jesus who say that they’ve “received revelation”, or believe in simply what the Bible says that we all know to be true?

@@kjswims_46 Of course it's definitely easier to believe exactly what everyone else has believed for the last several centuries. But how do you know that what the Bible says is true? How do you _really_ know? There are many people who scoff at the idea of accepting something as true simply because it's really old and everyone else believes it. Ultimately, IMO, you have to receive a witness of its truth in the same way that Peter received his witness that Jesus was the Christ: "...for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven." I think it's the Holy Spirit that ultimately testifies of the truthfulness of the Bible to us, and it's that same source who can testify that The Book of Mormon is true. But luckily it's not an "either/or" situation. You can believe in what the BIble says _and_ what The Book of Mormon says. I do. I wish you all the luck in the world on your journey.

Not to be rude or anything, but can you guys PLEASE PUT THAT FISH IN A PROPER FISH TANK. A small bowl can stunt it’s growth and cause it’s organs to keep growing while it’s outer body stays small, eventually crushing its organs and killing it. Not only that but they can grow to be over 10 inches and can live up to twenty years old. It’s a pet! Not a prop for a show! Take better care of it!

But here’s the thing, you have to watch the ph levels, ammonia levels, nitrate/nitrite levels, and so on, which I don’t think they’re doing. I can probably also say that the bowl isn’t filtered with any beneficial bateria and constantly moving it is stressful to the fish. Not only that but bowls have proven to be cruel to fish and yet they still chose to keep it in this way. If they really cared for it they wouldn’t drag it around like some prop for their show. They should’ve done more research and found an animal that enjoys being handeled and constantly moved.

Abi Pereira they shouldn’t be moving him so frequently. He’s clearly stressed in the bowl and transferring him from tank to bowl multiple times a week for several hours is only making that worse. If they want to have a fish as part of their set, they need to house him in a proper tank and not move him out.

That depends on your repentance process. If you've prayed for repentance and sought forgiveness from those you've wronged, then you've done all you can for forgiveness (including seeing your bishop for larger sins) and you need to forgive yourself and move on. If you don't ask forgiveness and think forgiveness comes from secrecy, Satan is deceiving you.

@@seans5289 again, it's a matter of doing all you can do to repent. If you've done all the physical actions (asking for forgiveness, praying for forgiveness, repaying the offended, speaking with the bishop if applicable) then the devil had no power over you. No matter what he tries to say to your mind, there is nothing he can do. Anything he tries to say to you at that point is just to tug at your guilt. This is why it is SO important to forgive yourself and fully accept the atonement into your life. Of course we still recall things we've done. And of course Satan will say, "remember when you did that thing. Man, you're a horrible person for that." But when we repent you the best of our ability and allow the atonement of Jesus Christ to wash over us, we can allow our spirits to feel free. Alma the younger, decades after his conversion, still remembered the misery of his sins; but he no longer allowed it to bog him down, and he went about doing the Lord's work. Do all you can, then forgive yourself. Let the atonement do the rest, and ignore that pesky devil.

@seans5289 5 лет назад
Danny Gray: I guess I’m less worried he’s tricking me about repentance and more worried that god allows Satan access into my private thoughts. There are several sins that occur entirely within a person’s mind, and allowing an entity known as the father of lies to rummage around in my thoughts seems like an unfair advantage for Satan. What if you get a prompting in your mind about a new job or a possible spouse, etc.? How would you know whether it was of god or the devil when it’s the same medium by which god always speaks? How do you know whose still small voice is speaking?

My fellow LDS friends , Jesus is soon at hand. You have been deceived by false prophets and apostles who are in sheep’s clothing. Turn to God and trust in him alone. Accept Jesus as your only way to eternal life. Trust in his work he did for you. Your faith in God’s work. Receive Christ and follow him. Be washed in His Blood Christ Jesus. Book of Romans and Galatians will help enlighten your understanding. I love you.

Galatians 1:8-9 is speaking on behalf of the early Christian church. Who fell into Apostasy. This is not speaking on behalf of the LDS Mormon Church. Okay, so something that we as a Church claim and knows to be true is that Jesus Christ restored His Church Isaiah 29:10 & 14 to the earth through His prophet Joseph Smith. And so the same gospel that He taught and established while He was on the earth is what we teach and share and live by! A lot of civilizations criticize us but as we study both the Book of Mormon and the Bible it is very clear that this is Christ's church!😁 A lot of people don't recognize as I just mentioned, but a lot of early churches were in a state of Apostasy and there was so much truth lost! Like I just said! And I'd say this is where the restoration through our Prophet Joseph Smith by way of the Anglican Angel Moroni. Restored that truth. I'd further state this somewhere in here is where Revelation 14:6-7 comes into play. The church was in Apostasy and due to that Apostasy, they believe in every whim and doctrine - Ephesians 4:14. So, they would say a bible -a bible we don't need anymore bible - 2Nephi 29. My closing thoughts are just the fact that we are so blessed to be apart of this true Church especially in these last days. There is so much peace and comfort that comes from the gospel of Jesus Christ! And I say this in the name of Jesus Christ Amen

"Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained" (John 20:22-23). Jesus tells his apostles that by the power of the Holy Spirit he has given them the power to forgive and retain the sins of men. A person can be absolved of their sins by going to confession with a priest.

PLEASE do research on how to care for goldfish. This kind of goldfish needs at least 40 gall of water, a cycled filter and an airstone. You can get educated on this subject here: "HOW TO SET UP A GOLDFISH TANK" by Solid Gold Aquatics. This way kids see your videos and think it's okay to have an animal and neglect it like this. A living being is not a decoration.

@@DannyAGray it's animal cruelty to keep a fish in a bowl my guy ;) I'm not here for the religious stuff, not my cup of tea and I don't like to comment on that. An example, you watch a video related go whatever you like and then in the background is a dog on a 5 foot long chain. Wouldn't you think it's good advice to educate someone that that's not a proper way to keep a dog? Even though it's not related to the subject of the video you like? It's still shown in a video and people might think it's okay, then they get a dog and keep it on a 5 foot chain if they don't know better. Cheers.

@@DK-qp9os uh...no, because you have absolutely no real context for how they otherwise care for the creature. For all you know, this goldfish gets all the best food and water treatment, more than any other goldfish in existence; or the dog, in your example, is on that chain as a temporary measure. You know nothing of these people or what they do behind the scenes, and your criticism is therefore wasted on trivial illusions of what you perceive as a problem with such incomplete information.

@@DannyAGray Thank you for pointing that out. That's actually part of the issue. If I wasn't educated on the goldfish subject as loads of people aren't (which you can often see, sometimes even in pet-stores) I might say "oh look how cute, I want one" (kids often do it). Then I go to my pet-store, buy one and put it in a bowl because I saw it here in this video that was made by people I hypothetically like or trust. You can't assume that they do or don't do something if the only thing you see is this fish in a fishbowl. So "for all I know" they are not keeping it in a fish tank or pond because I have never seen it, neither have the kids or adults that watched this video. Unfortunately loads of people don't do research on their pets and I think it's the responsibility of people with any kind of influence on larger masses IF they decide to show their pets (or whatever they have that needs some kind of care), to show humane way to properly care for them and keep them, or they should just skip putting it in their videos. Just admit it, you don't like goldfish! jk jk my guy, no offense. And congrats on wanting to spend time on something you find so irrelevant to comment on xd

@@DK-qp9os truth be told, I think fish, while cute, are a waste of a pet. But I think the same thing about hamsters and other rodents, so it's no offense to the fish. We had a hamster and beta a couple years ago. They've long since died. I've upgraded to two dogs. At any rate, Saints Unscripted has a new video retiring the fish in a large tank that he already had (according to them). I hope you see it and enjoy it.
