How Much Do You Know About the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? 

I was impressed with his pronunciation as well. If he pronounces Abinadi or Teacum correctly, then we know he knows too much 🤔

@@gomerpyle7721 Some of us are old enough to remember the original “official” pronunciation of Ether! However, he mispronounced “Missouri” (I’m a lifelong member of the Church, and a Missouri native).

Gosh yes it's so important when doing this kind of work to pronounce things correctly!

@@jtuberogers3528 I think you pronounced Ether the way you did is because you grew up on a farm. If you lived in suburb/corporate Mormonism, you pronounced it correctly 😉

@@bubbles581 it gives you street cred

Not too shabby... :)

You are just like me loll

Right, bring it on! will be most profitable for this channel

People would fail hard

​@@danfsteepleIt's funny, everyone tells Catholics what they believe, and they always get it wrong.

As a Catholic, I expect to get 5/25 on the quiz because I don't understand the Thomism that is the theological foundation of the Church. City of God wasn't a problem, but Summa Theologica has been hard for me to get into.

@@classicalteacher I have a decent grasp on the difference between the Greek East & the Latin West. What they agree on and what they disagree on. Outside of that I don’t know much post-schism Latin theology

Same for me, but I got 17.

LDS movement is better termed as the restoration movement. Since we believe in Jesus completely restoring his Church on the Earth. LDS stands for Latter-day Saints which is a specific branch of a larger movement.

@robertstephenson6806very confident in all that are you! Hope you are right, but doubt you are.

@robertstephenson6806 cringe

@robertstephenson6806 The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is obviously Christian. If you're going to use the term "cult", you need to explain what you mean by it and why it applies to the modern Church of Jesus Christ while not applying to other religions.

Which one did you get wrong? I think the Missouri doctrine has been emphasised recently.

@@thursoberwick1948 I missed Idaho being the state with the 3rd most Mormons. I guessed Arizona (which I’m sure is no. 4)

The Idaho question is the only one that wouldn’t be common knowledge to any Latter-day Saint.

what made you leave? I am a very new member

Too bad you do not love learning the truth of Gods only words to mankind the Bible.

Exmo here. I come here alot as well to understand other faiths. Also got 25/25

@@awatchman-um7vywhy are you so rude to someone saying they love to learn about others faiths? They are allowed to believe as they wish and you are too.

@@Zharoze ,...I was not rude as you want (need) to believe. I made a very good and very accurate statement. No mormon wants to learn anything about truth nor the truth of God. They only want and love fake manmade fantasy. The bom and mormonism is all nothing but 100% fake manmade science fiction unbiblical nonsense put forth by a con artist and a fraud. This is why you all love it. If you were presented with actual Biblical truth you would hate is as you all do. No actual Christian wants to learn about other faiths other than to learn a little bit about them so as to correct them and those deceived by them. Also, no, absolutely not, no one is allowed to believe as they wish. We are all only allowed to believe in the one true God and in the only words he has given to Godless. blind, lost, and deceived mankind, the 66 books of the Bible. Anyone believing anything other than these 66 books will with 100% certainty be cast into the lake of fire. There are no people more ungodly, blind, lost, deceived, Biblically illiterate, than the mormons. You are all going to be cast into the lake of fire. You are all an abomination and are all Gods enemies as you will all find out on judgement day. Repent!

⁠​⁠@@awatchman-um7vyto bad you don’t love learning how to form proper sentences.

We are a pretty peculiar people for sure.

Not bad, you're welcome to show up again anytime too, cheers!

Same here, but I also got the Holy Ghost one (purely by luck).

I got the Mitt Romney one wrong because Joseph Smith was the first Mormon to run for President, though not a major party candidate. Many people forget that he was assassinated by religious bigots (and drunks) while an active candidate for the presidency.

Fun fact: he had to specify “from a major political party” for the Romney question because the first Mormon presidential candidate from any party is actually Joseph Smith, the founder. His presidential campaign is actually what got him killed because the Whig party felt threatened.

Adequate and interesting on the lesser details. Perhaps you noticed a lack of attention to Jesus Christ. But that goes against the Narrative.

Same. I would've been able to come up with the number given more time though.

Yep. Nelson is the oldest prophet (99). Oaks died last week. Edit: Ballard died, not Oaks.

@@TheMikeyb86 - no kidding. I remember my mother was certain that Deiter F. Ukdorf (that how it's spelled?) Was going to be appointed next.

Too bad you have zero understanding of the truth of the Bible. All mormons are 100% Biblically illiterate.

@@awatchman-um7vy How can you be so incorrect and so energetic in showing it through multiple comments?

@@00Fisher00 ,...The fact is, I am not incorrect, and have spoken the truth for your edification. The problem is, the spiritually dead have zero ability to understand Biblical truth. They (you) only understand and love lies and deception. This is what has made the fraud and con artist joseph smith so successful.

@@awatchman-um7vy You are wildly incorrect and unwilling to understand. Your statement about members of the Church of Jesus Christ being "Biblically illiterate" is almost funny. I can't imagine where you get an idea that is so wildly wrong.

@@00Fisher00 ,...Sorry but the fact is, I am 100% correct. All my statements are 100% accurate and correct. Of course, you being snared into the Godless abomination of mormonism will say, it is me who is wrong. No one would expect those snared into a manmade Godless cult to say/think anything different. Those who are blind, lost, and deceived always think it is those who can see that are the ones who are wrong. You have to think this. Again, one HAS to be completely Biblically illiterate, and totally willingly ignorant to become snared into the 100% false, con artist made, antibiblical, antigod, antichrist abomination of mormonism.

Repent! You are in a non-Christian cult.

What is wrong is the whole 100% fake bom as well as the entire manmade abomination of mormonism. Repent!

@@awatchman-um7vy It would be great if you knew truth about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

@@00Fisher00 ,...I absolutely know the truth about the cult of mormonism.

@@awatchman-um7vy You demonstrate no knowledge about it. I challenge you to define the word "cult" as you are using it and to explain how it applies to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints while not also applying to every other religion.

@@00Fisher00I really cannot begin to fathom how mormonism could be true

I guessed Texas. Wrong of course.

@@mdcarson well, I live in Arizona and have lived in Idaho, both were destinations of my Mormon pioneer ancestors.

Getting 24 out of 25 is nothing to be proud of. What one can be proud of is not being snared into this 100% fake manmade religion (cult).

Welcome!!!!

run from this non trinitarian heresy and become Catholic

@@joepowerhouse2371 "don't believe the bible just trust this mans vision" the difference is public revelations ended with the Apostles time, there are only private revelations then, and they don't change scripture

@@GLad346 Who asked?

I am a life-long member and didn’t know the number of books either.

You converted to heresy, turn to Jesus Christ.

Glad you've taken some big step. Daily scripture study and journaling have really helped me come Closer to Jesus Christ. When did you first hear about the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ?

@@clearstonewindows It isn’t restored, it’s heresy. We can talk about it if you want.

@@clearstonewindows Honestly, I had some people on discord invite me to a church service. And from there I started attending and reading the Book of Mormon daily. Eventually I finished and decided to be baptized :)

And you as a mormon will be in the lake of fire for all eternity. If you are not still a mormon, the lake of fire is still your future home. Repent!

@@VoxClamantisinDeserto-zw2mt I'm sorry you misunderstand.

@@00Fisher00 ,...I do not misunderstand as you suppose (need to believe) I understand perfectly. It is you and all the completely Biblically illiterate and willingly ignorant mormons who do not understand. You are all the accursed of God and are all 100% steeped in deception.

Very intriguing stances. I have no intentions of conversion due to a fundamental belief that the bible is sufficient but I have been debating reaching out and having a meeting with some of the missionaries.

@@christiansOnAMission7 I'm sure they'd love to talk with you, even if it's just so that we can learn more about each other. Just remember that we have different epistemological axioms, so the missionaries will teach you things that are not necessarily found in the Bible. You might also ask them for passages from the Book of Mormon about Jesus. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by how powerfully the Book of Mormon testifies about the divinity of Christ and our fundamental reliance upon Him for every good thing, even if you don't agree with everything else taught in the Book of Mormon.

@@christiansOnAMission7 I wouldn't worry about "conversion", but it would be good to converse with them with an open heart. As to the Bible being sufficient, I'd suggest that passages from the Bible itself suggest that it's good when God gives us more of His word. For example, Paul said in 2 Timothy 3:16 that "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness". How would you react if missing books of scripture, mentioned in the Bible, were found? There are the book of Jasher (Josh. 10:13; 2 Sam. 1:18), the book of Gad the seer (1 Chr. 29:29), the book of Nathan the prophet (1 Chr. 29:29; 2 Chr. 9:29), the book of Jehu (2 Chr. 20:34), an epistle of Paul to the Corinthians before 1 Corinthians (1 Cor. 5:9), an epistle to the Church at Laodicea (Col. 4:16), and others; if these books came to light, would you not be interested in them? What is important to consider is whether a writing truly is from God and is true scripture, because of course if it is, any gift from God is good and we should make use of it. Ponder that as you speak with the missionaries.

I lived in east Idaho for a while. Rented from a mormon and lived right next to one in a duplex. I don't recall the keeping the 7th day Sabbath. What is their understanding on it?

@@truthnottradition7 In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, our Sabbath is usually on Sunday. I understand that in a few parts of the world, where culturally the Sabbath is celebrated on Saturdays, such as Israel, latter-day saints also practice Sabbath observances on Saturdays. More important that the exact day is the dedication we show to God, but it's typically on Sunday.

what co-op is this? sounds interesting

@pigetstuck It's a homeschool co-op where we take classes.

@pigetstuck In Collinsville, Oklahoma.

Just to clarify for others in this thread: the LDS church does not have any prohibition against dating non-Mormons. This must be a rule within the co-op specifically. I know many Latter-day Saints who married people of other faiths.

@Amcsae The co-op doesn't have dating rules, but the parents sure do! 😂

Mormon stories is cringe bruh

You just said the equivalent of "I read the funny German mustache man's book about Jews to learn about Judaism". John Delhin is honestly one of the worst people on earth for as much as he has lied and manipulated people. Mormon Stories is nothing but lies.

That admission says a lot. Not searching for truth much these days? Hope you are finding what you are looking for. Mormon stories is a club for people who left but can’t leave it alone.

​@@mdcarsonYou're not being a good advertisement there and coming off a bit Scientological towards folk who leave the LDS. The evidence points towards most people who leave, leaving it alone entirely. I know a number of people who used to be LDS who have nothing to do with it whatsoever and never interact with or talk about it. I have also met quite a few people you would never know were ex-LDS because it is not part of their lives unless they have family who are still active.

I follow history and cultural anthropology. I find listening to other people’s stories and belief systems compelling. I think it helps me understand the world better. I don’t much judge others’ religious beliefs. I have my own. Is that so worthy of criticism?

"I don’t think it’s common knowledge for members." It was a trivia question for youth seminary. :-)

To be fair, these are really easy questions.

Your comment is absolute ignorance, as is your whole 100% fake con artist made religion/cult. The very last thing a mormon is, is a saint. The truth is, they are the exact opposite of a saint. They are the accursed of God. Repent!

To be fair, the membership population being third largest in Idaho and Mitt Romney being a presidential candidate are just bits of trivia that aren't connected to doctrine whatsoever. The Idaho bit is even subject to change in the future. :)

@@mikeonthecomputer That's true, but it's also pretty basic trivia. Of course you should take these things by a case by case basis, but unless you have specific reasons for not knowing something (e.g. you don't live in the US) then I'm going to remain skeptical of your level of knowledge.

Actually quite good, growing (sometimes quite rapidly) in most countries in the world. We've also made it through Covid better than a lot of other churches I'm aware of

They claim to have approx 17 million members. I feel sure a good number of those are just still on the rolls but don't believe/attend.

​@@JoJoRacer the number and locations of church buildings and temples should give a good indication. Those are only built based on the number of active members. Last I checked, those numbers are growing.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints continues to grow. Membership statistics are published regularly, but they don't indicate how active people are in their faith. As mentioned above, the number of temples in operation are one indicator, because they take money and time from members to operate, and temples are still being built. We've recently had many announcements of new temple locations.

Roughly 18 million members worldwide, and growing at the rate of about 300,000 per year.

So did you get like 1 right?

what drew you to it?

Emphasis on supposedly. Christianity is closer to Islam than it is to Mormonism.

Depends on your standard of measurement. Mormons are definitely Christians, but they reject a lot of the philosophical framework that Nicene Christianity and Islam share, such as the focus on Classical Theism which is derived from Greek Platonism. Latter-day Saints are much more Hebrew than Greek in their philosophy.

@@KnuttyEntertainment Hebrews? I really don't see it. Care to elaborate? "Mormons are definitely Christians" What definition of christian are you using here?

@@kylejacobson9587 The difference between Greek and Hebrew philosophy and worldview is a pretty large and complicated topic. For now just know that Latter-day Saints reject Greek Platonism. If you don’t know the influence of middle platonism on early Christian theology, then anything else I could say wouldn’t mean much. And my definition of Christian is pretty simple: “disciple of Jesus the Christ; a person who lives by the teachings of Jesus and worships the Christian God.” The word Christian comes from Christening. The first Christians entered covenant with Jesus by being Christened (ritually anointed) in his name, so Christian literally means “anointed people.” Latter-day Saints believe in living the teachings of Christ and other prophets and apostles as found in the Bible. They enter covenant with God through both baptism and anointing. They believe in Christ’s atonement and resurrection, they believe in God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. etc. etc. The reason most people don’t consider Latter-day Saints Christians is because they aren’t Nicene, they don’t accept the ecumenical creeds that were developed in the 4th century. Latter-day Saints don’t accept them because they don’t believe anyone at the councils was inspired or had proper authority, and rather that the councils were the result of the influence of Greek philosophy rather than the teachings of Christ and the apostles from centuries prior (and they’re kinda right about that). Either that, or a person could believe Latter-day Saints are not Christians just because they’re bigoted against Mormons, which is equally likely.

Yup, if your going to learn about a subject, Make sure it's directly from people who hate it and want to see it destroyed! It's kind of like learning to become a butcher from a vegan🤔

​@cjextreme To be honest, I was less concerned about learning about the subject itself than why people left, the problems they had with it, and the apologetic responses. I've listened to and read some Mormon apologetics, but those also don't tend to focus on the daily life aspects. For me it's been a useful case study to see people's problems with a foreign belief to reflect on my own beliefs, would their problems with Mormonism hold for my beliefs, etc. Kind of like watching thieves break into someone else's house to reflect if mine has the same security problems, and how to address them. It's just that I've examined this particular case study enough as a security consideration that I feel I should know more about it beyond the security issues.

@@billcynic1815 I'm curious about what your perception is of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I've heard a lot of complaints from people outside the Church, including former members, and they're usually on topics that are not at all related to daily life. I also mostly hear people wildly misrepresenting my religion. So I'm curious what you see in the restored Church of Jesus Christ.

Sad to see you go from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but I'm glad to see that you're trying to keep Christ at the center of your life! One day we'll all be able to see what the full truth was all along, and staying true to Jesus in the meantime is essential.

OK, so you aren’t Christian anymore.

Congratulations on getting out of that cult

"What do I win?" Absolutely nothing.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is God's and Jesus Christ one and only true church here on earth. We know and teach the Bible and gospel better than any other denomination.

Mormons believe they get more 'points' if they convert Christians to their cult. They will lie.

“We 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, where, or what they may.” It's one of our "articles of faith" Kids like to debate and feel right. I would read the BOM for your self, It's changed my life. Good luck in your Journey.

@@clearstonewindows BOM been there, done that. The Lutheran confessions and the Bible changed my life. The Anathasian Creed is Christian and not compatible with LDS faith.

@@steveh4114 correct we don't believe in that creed or the trinity. Best of luck 👍

@@clearstonewindows You're correct Mormons do not believe in God.

I think I saw that! On a discord server unrelated

@@germanmarine6582 where was that sub?

When did the Great Church (Latin West & Greek East) apostatize?

@@danfsteeple I would consider it a gradual process of human shortcomings rather than of malice. So it is hard to put a definite date on it, but by the council of Nicea, it was probably well underway.

​@@danfsteepleI believe it's taught that it happened gradually after the death of the apostles

@@pascalfriedmann1479 genuine question. Why did God abandon the world for 1,500-1,700 years?

@@danfsteepleThe word ‘apostasy’ does not imply that God has abandoned men, but that men have abandoned God-or, at the very least, that they have abandoned significant portions of His word. Long periods of spiritual darkness are not a sign that God has abandoned the earth. If that were true, we might ask why God abandoned most of the earth for all of human history, since relatively few humans have ever heard the name of Jesus.

Hi there! Thanks for your comment. Can I help you with anything? I’d love to answer any questions you may have.

mormonism is a 100% false manmade ungodly fraud. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the God, the Jesus, the gospel, nor the Christianity of the Bible. Do not have anything to do with it.

@@dancahill9585 I challenge you to give the definition you apply to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and to explain how it is applicable without applying to other religions. Otherwise, it's inaccurate and intellectually lazy.

@@00Fisher00 Most other religions haven't built $100 Billion warchests, aren't tte biggest landowners in the state of Florida, and don't forbid access to their temples, even in the case of Family Weddings, to those who tithe, and they don't have meetings with Bishops explaining how much they've tithed. Everything about the Mormons is a money making cult, just like Scientology, and it is clear to everyone not in the cult.
