How to Witness to Latter Day Saints Mormons Effectively Asking these 3 Questions! 

Hey everyone please check out this video which proves what this video talked about and it ONLY has official quotes from LDS sources ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7Ox_Dasyh9Y.html I’d encourage everyone to check out this discussion with a Latter Day Saint on God that I had on my channel. Link ru-vid.comlhypXvfH7OY?feature=share This truly demonstrates what official LDS doctrines are compared to their books and the Bible. It will be eye opening for those who care about truth.

I was raised Mormon and was also a Mormon Missionary. The Lord opened my eyes to the true Jesus, and I'm overwhelmed with gratitude forever. I'm the only believer in my family of Mormons. When people said Mormons weren't Christians, I didn't understand why they said that, but now I do. And when they said I was in a cult, I did not believe them, but when you're in a cult, you can't see it until you're out of it. Mormons do believe that they believe in Jesus, but they can't see they believe in a different Jesus (2 Corinthians 11). If an LDS ever reads this, don't take offense. Please keep reading the Bible over and over and pray to never be deceived in any way and to be willing to have your eyes opened if you are being deceived in any way. I pray this every day for myself.

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and as such I am always searching for further light and knowledge. I love looking further into the scriptures so thank you for 4 more topics to do a deep dive into! Also thank you for your kind compassionate respectful approach you will get a lot more LDS people listening with that approach! 🙏

Thank God for answering my prayer and now I am equipped to better explain the true gospel to the missionaries that come to my house.

Thank you. I left the LDS Church 43 years ago and have found the true Gospel in Yeshua (Jesus).

Thanks. Keep preaching the gospel of Christ! Encouraging and informative.

John <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="183">3:3</a> Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Mormon friends who know I am a Bible believing Christian, will often forcefully tell me “We’re Christians TOO!” Rather than spewing a bunch of reasons as to where they’re wrong, I try to open a dialog. I ask them, “Do you then consider me a Mormon?” And why not. I also ask them, what gives them assurance of faith and life in Heaven, who cannot be forgiven, how can they know without doubt they’ve done enough to attain salvation? Rather than me holding up remonstrances to their beliefs, I like to ask questions that will make them honestly question what they truly believe. Three small, short books that are a great help in quantifying your own beliefs as a follower of Jesus are the Paul Little series, “Know Who You Believe”, “Know What You Believe”, “Know Why You Believe”.

As a Latter Day Saint, I appreciate your Christ like tone and your desire to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know we have different understandings of specific doctrines than you but I know that Jesus is our savior, that He paid for our sins, and that He loves each of us. Thank you for your kind effort to teach what you believe. We need more followers of Christ in this world even if we end up with different understandings of Bible verses, etc.

I always tripped out how Galatians says, "But even if we OR AN ANGEL FROM HEAVEN, preach any other gospel let him be accursed". Not in hate for us of course but the language insists understand they are still lost and under a false teaching, not to be listened to. But how amazing since the entire false teachings of LDS are based upon delivery via AN ANGEL FROM HEAVEN

Hebrews <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="567">9:27</a> is hardly definitively undermining what we believe. It’s basically taking out of context what was said in that passage. 1 Peter 3 talks about Christ preaching to the spirits in prison after his death. Well where was that place? What prison? And then the following chapter 4 Peter talks about preaching the gospel to the spirits that have lived and died. If you are immediately judged after death what’s the point of preaching to the gospel if you’ve already been judged at that point? I don’t see why it’s offensive to some evangelicals to conceive of a God who creates so much grace that he’s going to create a heaven with degrees so that those you are most willing to live the most aligned with the gospel of Jesus Christ would feel the most comfortable closest to his presence and that those who are unwilling to live that lifestyle would receive a lesser degree where they would feel the most comfortable not held to a standard that they’re unwilling to live up to but still enjoying the love of God to the degree to which they are capable. Why does that bother people? If you want to preach Grace, and we should, then his grace being expressed after death should not be shocking to any Christian

I went to a mormon church for a year...never once didni believe any of their teachings. This is helpful to ask them!

Thank you So much Brother......You truly don't know how much your video means to me..... God Bless You

"Christian:" Are you saved by grace? Mormon: Are you experiencing grace? I like the second question better.

Wait a minute, I’m a Christian (Protestant, Reformed, Evangelical)…but I would not lump in other Trinitarian Christians into a category of just another cult. Seventh-day Adventists uphold the central doctrines of Protestant Christianity: the Trinity, the incarnation, the virgin birth, the substitutionary atonement, justification by faith, creation, the second coming, the resurrection of the dead, and last judgment.

Amazing how protestants always quote from Ephesians <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="128">2:8</a>, saved by grace (implying grace alone), but skip over verse 10 which says to do the goods works God has preordained us to do.

Thank you for sharing this. Met for the first time a mormon. He is a new co-worker.

Very well explained, thank you!

Thanks a lot for these insights. Really valuable truths for witnessing to lost people.

Here is the problem we have with an in-law who is LDS. She married a Mormon, and knows next to nothing about what the Mormon church believes. When we bring up scripture to refute Mormon teachings, she completely shuts down, says she doesn’t want to know because we will never get her to change her mind. It’s really sad.

Thank you God bless.

I’ve subscribed to your RU-vid channel from Ireland. All blessings in Jesus name. Keep the videos coming in Jesus name

I'm not Mormon but I don't think that Mormons can't answer those questions but rather, they will answer them in a way that they believe it to be true. As a Christian I believe you are 100% correct but honestly, I sometimes question faith. I question faith because there are so many good people in the world and some of these people practice so many different forms of faith that I find it hard to beleive that if they are not Christian and they believe in a different God that they are not going to Heaven. If people are born into let's say the Muslim faith, this is the faith they know so how can they be punished for that? I don't know, just things that I have thought about from time to time.

Great video make me think about another of things

Luke <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1040">17:20</a>-21, Jesus says, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you” (NKJV).

Just one more tidbit regarding meaning in the Bible. Colossians <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="76">1:16</a> was quoted to support the belief that Jesus created everything. "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:" "Everything" in the Bible does not always mean every single solitary thing. Jason David BeDuhn states: All is commonly used in Greek as a hyperbole, that is, an exaggeration. The other is assumed. In one case, Paul takes the trouble to make this perfectly clear. In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul catches himself saying that God will make all things subject to Christ. He stops and clarifies that of course when he says all things he doesn't mean that God himself will be subject to Christ, but all other things will be, with Christ himself subject to God. There can be no legitimate objection to other in Colossians 1 because here, too, Paul clearly does not mean to include God or Christ in his phrase all things, when God is implied in the subject, and Christ the explicit agent, of the act of creation of these all things. But since Paul uses all things appositively (that is, interchangeably) with creation, we must still reckon with Christs place as the first-born of creation, and so the first-born of all things. Similar uses of all in expressions of hyperbole are not hard to find. In Luke <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1289">21:29</a>, Jesus speaks of the fig-tree and all the trees. The fig-tree is obviously a tree, and the ancients knew it has a tree. The phrase actually means the fig-tree and all other trees, just as the NW, NAB, and TEV have it (the LB similarly: the fig-tree, or any other tree).... Another example cant be seen in Luke <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="702">11:42</a> where Jesus speaks of Pharisees tithing mint and rue and every herb. Since mint and rue are both herbs, and were thought to be so by the cultures from which the Bible comes, the phrase every herb must mean every other herb (NW) or all the other herbs (TEV) or all other kinds of ....herb (NIV) Jason David DeBuhn, Truth in Translation: Accuracy and Bias in English Translations of the New Testament (Latham: University Press of America, 2003), 84-85 Taking "everything" as 100% literal would result in Satan being reconciled to Christ per Colossians <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="80">1:20</a>. "And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven." I hope this helps...

I just seen this video for the first time. I was talking to a Mormon for like 2 days. God is good cause the same point you made. Was the same things we was talking about. It's true what you say about how they see God , Jesus and salvation.

Thank you! Soli Deo Gloria Pray for Idaho Falls

I don't wanna come out of the "Mormon church I want to stay in the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints and help other people to understand their faith and how they can continue to progress in it and bring people like you into our faith which I have let mini into our faith

Hey thanks so much for the video. These are some good questions to ask. I've been talking to some Mormon friends lately and will be interested to see what their responses will be to these questions. I was wondering though about one thing you mentioned in this video. Just wondering why you included Seventh-day Adventist with the Cults like Jehovah's Witness in Mormonism? Isn't Seventh-Day adventism a legitimate Protestant denomination? If not I was just interested to know What specific teaching would make it a cult? Thanks again.

Reaching for godhood is Mormon goal ....

This was awesome

Very informative!

Their Sunday service is always talking about what they did on the weekdays instead of the Bible. Same goes to Sunday school, more on the mormon book and less on the Bible.

This was great, concise and easy to understand. I am going to jot down those verses. I hope you do one of these for SDA.u

Hey! I’ve served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and I always appreciate new insight. However, I don’t feel these platforms are beneficial or good. I don’t think it’s within Christ’s doctrine and teachings to tear down other followers. We may have our differences, but much of the content in this video is incorrect. I’d be more than happy to share more about all of these questions to highlight what we believe as members of Christ’s restored church. I know that it’s the church He guides and directs today. If you want to learn more, message me!

Question #1 How is God ? Check out Psalm 9<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2">0:2</a>, 9<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="182">3:2</a> Question #2 Who is Jesus ? Was Jesus created through literral sex between Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother in the pre-existence ? So at some point Jesus never existed ? Then review John <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="61">1:1</a>-3 and Colossians <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="76">1:16</a> Question #3 What is salvation and eternal life according to LDS doctrine ?

Thanks so much. I am a recent born again christian and i am in contact (by phone) with a nice young mormon lady. This will help me tremendously in talking with her and hopefully helping her understand the true word of God.

i loved the Channel's Name Bro, Godbless

You nailed it brother

This is so helpful! I have a conversation planned with a Mormon and I am going to use these questions and verses!

This is very good. As an ex-Mormon who was very devout in the fundamental teachings of "the Gospel" as "restored" by Joseph Smith, I just want to add that the LDS often use the confusion that is placed upon them to their advantage. So, it's important to remember that the LDS are gaslight and brainwashed to believe they don't need to seek Jesus, GOd or the turth because they already have it- in fact, in their beliefs they believe that Christianity is corrupt and the Bible changed and can't be trusted and therefore you need a modern day prophet to guide us in these latter days. However, they will tell you that they believe in the Bible but they just also believe in more, and why would you settle for "just Jesus" when you can have a "fullness", etc. It gets very confusing because the LDS are taught to sound Christian and act Christian and say things to outsiders (including new Mormons or less faithful Mormons- anyone who hasn't received the greater light and knowledge) and will say they believe in the same things, etc when they know full well they believe something different. You may also get different answers from different Mormons. That's because of a Masonic belief of levels of knowledge and believe that most aren't ready to receive the fullness and so it's dumbed down or simplified. But as you progress to greater light and knowledge who will learn the full truth- and suddenly if you make it far enough, all of those weird cultish beliefs are given and the Christian stuff is minimized or done away with. They think basic Christianity is like kindergarden level. It gets very confusing and even many LDS born and raised in it will not always get so far in light and knowledge and the "mysteries" of the Gospel. Joseph Smith did this, at the lowest level they didn't practice polygamy and were kept from knowing about it (among other things), then there were different levels including the School of the Prophets. Then all LDS were eventually taught more of this mysteries, but I noticed in the late 90's a shift away from it, wanting to keep it all sacred and not revealing everything to every member (although it is all there for those who look or are chosen). I'm speaking by experience. Mormons are inwardly offended by the cross and by Christians saying that they follow a different Jesus. They are taught this affirms that the LDS church is true because of this opposition. The best thing to do is to ask them to describe Jesus, and you may need to probe because they are taught to use the same words as Christians and try to be basic and sound Christian- if you know how to probe you can get to the heart of it. Or I like to just say I understand that this bothers them, but that using the name of Jesus doesn't make you Christian or a follower: Jesus said people would do many good works in His name but Jesus will tell them he never knew them and will tell them to go away from Him. The important thing is to know Jesus, not just use his name. To know Jesus for yourself and not in a religious sense but personally. I then tell them that someone might tell me they know my mother and even use her name correctly but as they describe her more and her personality, etc., if they say some things are very different than how I know my mother (even if they get some of it right), I will not believe that they talking about my mother, Susan, and that they are talking about a different Susan. And then I will tell them about the Jesus I know, and then read to them the Prodigal son from the Bible. And say something like, See Jesus will see me as a sinner afar off and run to me with open arms, while I am dirty and unworthy. My Jesus is my father, and will wash me clean, etc. I'll also read in the Bible, "while you were yet sinners, Christ died for you". You see Jesus came into this sinful world and runs to us and comes to us even when we are so dirty and can't clean ourselves, even though we know and feel unworthy- and He sanctifies us, He cleanses us, He loves us and He works in us, etc. But your Jesus does none of those things- what you describe is the complete opposite of Jesus even though you use His name. You strive all of your life to become worthy and hope one day that you will be good enough to meet Jesus in the "next life" and hope that Jesus will see your good works and glorify you, that you have become perfect enough and can become "one of us" to progress to become a god and be able to create your own worlds, etc. This sounds like the kind of Jesus that Jesus said I never knew you when presented with their good works and like what Lucifer tempted Adam and Even with that brought sin into the world. This idea that you can become as good as good if you attain greater light and knowledge which Lucifer said he had. And your Jesus needs you to become perfect before He will reveal himself to you. This is a very different Jesus than the one that I know who has given me peace beyond understanding, whose burdens are light- while you are burdened with trying to do an impossible task of becoming perfect so you can be worthy of His presence. But Jesus didn't wait for the world to be worthy, He came down while we are all sinners. He runs to us while we are dirty and ashamed, and embraces us with His Love. Anyway, I am sorry I didn't realize this has become a sermon. I think you get the point though. And the LDS church has so many people full-time working on marketing, PR and subliminal messaging even for their own members to keep them in and to unknowingly deceive many others. They are also constantly changing their tactics and this can get very confusing. But the LDS are trained to tune out Christians while expecting Christians to accept them. The reason for this is simply because if you will accept them then they can convert more people who are currently Christians. So many pastors who see this just want to protect their flocks.

***Hello all please check out*** this conversation between myself and a Latter Day Saint that was on my channel ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y6L9Y9WNCKM.html The topic was on what is the true gospel of Jesus Christ and what is a false gospel? This is a very good video to check out and share with others on what are the differences of Christianity and Mormonism.

LDS believe we are saved by grace through faith and James <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="137">2:17</a>.

Mormons believe they will populate their own world with their spouse. Matthew <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1350">22:30</a> says in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like the angels in heaven.

Thanks so much for this!! My cousin is a Mormon and she's coming over in 2 days... this is going to be so helpful!

When u speak with them Mormons only allow them to speak of what the Bible says!! And Show them IF YOU ADD UNTO THIS BOOK VERSE!! TALKING ABOUT THE ENTIRE BIBLE!! Their eyes will see that Book of Mormon can't stand by itself!!😊 God's agape love be with u ALL!!!

I've recently had 2 young missionaries on my porch. As a Christian, I feel disturbed when they leave. Their beliefs make me feel sorry for them. They can't answer the questions I have. I have asked them not to come back. The temple rules alone are such a red flag.

I appreciate the time you took to learn from, study, and share fr the scriptures. A lot of the faults you found with beliefs of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) aren't actually exactly how you explain them. For example with your second point about Jesus Christ. In the Premortal Life we all lived with God; in Moses 3 it says that "God created all things spiritually before they were naturally upon the earth." Because nothing can be created ex nihilo (from nothing), we understand that nothing has a beginning or an end. Our spirits weren't just created from nothing, but from matter of spiritual substance. Jesus Christ was the First Born of the Father, but that doesn't mean He had no part in the creation. In fact, in the Church we know that Christ was the one who created the earth and all things upon it, just like you were saying it teaches in the Bible. Christ created these things under the direction of God the Father. Doctrine and Covenants says, "Behold, I am Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, who created the heavens and the earth." The Christ in the Bible is the same Christ in the Book of Mormon. We believe in the Bible along with our other standard works! The scriptures are beautiful! And there is so much to learn from them! If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I love your excitement for God!

I hate to disagree with you, my brother, but after operating a Christian outreach ministry to Mormons for almost 48 years, I can tell you that appealing to the Bible to refute Mormonism is of little effect with the devout Mormon. This because of the Eighth Article of Faith. This is where the Mormon will stubbornly believe that anything in the Bible that contradicts Mormonism is mistranslated. In fact, Mormon Apostle James Talmage wrote, "...who, in his right mind could for one moment suppose the Bible in its present form to be a perfect guide? Who knows that even one verse of the Bible has escaped pollution." (Divine Authority of the Book of Mormon, p. 47) Joseph Smith himself said, "Many insertions were made, some of them 'slanted' for selfish purposes, while at times deliberate falsifications and fabrications were perpetrated" (As Translated Correctly, p. 4). A better way to witness might be to show them the shifting sand on which the two pillars of their faith (Joseph Smith as a prophet and his First Vision) are built. Show them Smith's prophesies that failed (there were many) and the number of conflict version of the First Vision he told). Once their faith in the foundations of Mormonism are shaken, THEN you can open the Bible. The information of Joseph Smith I have mentioned, and much, much more can be found at my friend Sandra Tanner's website www.utlm.org. Just a prayerful suggestion, from someone who has been doing this for a long time.

Trouble is, when sparring with a mormon is that they do not necessarily hold the scriptures as being the "be all to end all" to all truth. Instead, they reference thier books of doctrine over the scriptures and you end up just going in circles.. It's a matter of, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree...if I could add a 4th item to your list.

On point #1, Mormons believe that god is infinite and everlasting, just like you said the scriptures mention.

You've been teaching so long, and I don't mean any disrespect, that you believe the rationalizations that you've made up for yourself or the rationalizations others have made about our church. There were a lot of what I call generalizations that you made about us. You can't be an effective teacher if you're just summing everything up to fit in an explanation and narrative that you believe and want others to believe. You no longer are teaching truth. Just partial ones. I know I just made a bold statement. If you're open, I'd love to connect and talk more. Let me know. It's not my intent to offend. Just to build you up, serve and find another brother in Christ.

I have a question. Is God a respector of persons and has condemned billions to hell by virtue of being born, lived, and died without ever hearing the gospel? Are unbaptized children damned to an eternal hell? Did Hitler send Jews from the hell of Alchawitz to hell hereafter? Does James 2 not exist in your Bible? Aren't "Mormons" saved by your definition of the salvation given by Jesus the Son of the Father?

Hi. I'm a born-again Christian who will be celebrating walking with my Lord Jesus for 47 years tomorrow - 23 February 1974! I was 13 and heard the Gospel preached at a Youth for Christ rally in Hiawatha, Kansas. I am, however, an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I know my name's written in the Book of Life because of repentance of my sins and wholly trusting in the blood of my Lord to wash my sins away. I live for Him.

My sister has a Mormon friend who gave us the book of Mormon because we requested one. I keep trying to find verses in the BOM that shows their beliefs contradict the bible. If anyone knows these verses please let me know. Thx

Thanks for sharing this video, just sharing a few things. I have relatives who are mormons and have discussed with them what I know about the origins of their church, how their church continues to develop their beliefs day by day, their practices which are occult specially when they marry by their church regarding the vows they take. All questions I had for them, couldn't be answered because they use their book of mormon to answer and they asked me to read their book to find my answers, if not they would say they would get back to me the following they after the consult their teachers. Which by the way their teachers would tell them to avoid conversations with me. I've told them one can not add or subtract or mix any wording of the bible according to the holy bible and make it the book of mormon. Also years back they did not accept any one from the black comunity because their teachings would not allow it but then years (decades) later they decided to allow blacks become mormons ignoring the original reasons as to why they weren't accepted. I've read the history of the book of mormon and it is very sad how the whole thing started and its that many of its faults which go against the principles of the wholly Bible. There's more then 3 questions to ask the mormons, of course one needs to know facts about their beliefs so we can know what to ask and see what the bible says about it.

it is known that when christ died and the apostles tried to continue to bring people to christ, it eventually became polluted with some pagan beliefs... this was done so those who were not christian would find the gospel more appealing, the Nycean council decided to take some parts of the gospel out, and add pagan practices like idolatry , in order to appeal to non christians. thereby building the churches number, this essentially was the beginning of Catholicism.

I accept your challenge… I am a convert to the church of Jesus Christ Larry saints. Question number one about God, having a father. Read revelations, chapter 1 verse six word talks about God and his father If you had a father, he must've been a son and if he was a son, he was probably like us… Let's go to question number two as I turn the video back on

Those who believe will also do good works.

For those interested tonight at 7pm Pacific Time ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qwVRRK-VJCU.html live discussion and you can join the discussion 👍✝️

Straw man arguments are no way to live your life.

This was the longest most painful lead up that I’ve ever experienced

Did you ask these questions to children or new converts?

I love the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They are bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the 4 corners of the world. Is this love ,to rip down another man's house and build your own on top of his. We are to love God,and love ye one another, and teach repentance only. Not sit in judgment of one another. Being a missionary is a true expression of love for your fellow man,which is of Christ, which can never be wrong. Those young men and women love,and give two years of their lives,in their prime,to love.... That IS the Jesus of the Bible and of the Book of Mormon.

... No... I can answer each of those questions. I have answered each of those questions, and all you're doing is ambushing uninformed members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It's like me asking about the trinity when that doctrine comes from the Council of Nicea, not from the Bible. I could also choose how Chalcedonian Christians believe Christ to be wholly man and wholly divine, or some obscure Christology particular to Protestantism, or my favorite, that you're saved by grace alone, when the Bible clearly declares that faith without works is dead, the need for ordinances, and protestant rejection of theology held a millennium before the movement began, like apostolic succession. Yea, I think it's a shame most church members don't know the theology as intimately as you know yours, but there is nothing in those questions that's particularly shocking. Oh and lastly, no God did not have sex to create us in a pre-mortal existence. The fact you propagate this myth kind of chaps my hide. You cite a bunch of church canon, while not understanding it, but refuse to find whether or not church cannon supports this point, which it doesn't. Read the book of Abraham in the Pearl of Great Price. I would say you're acting in good faith, except for that last point. It really ruins the whole thing. It's pretty sad, actually.

Thank you for your video. As a former Oneness Pentecostal I wanted to point out that it is not a cult. It is a heresy. Calvinism is more akin to a cult than the oneness doctrine, as it was founded by a man John Calvin and adherents idolize their leaders (John Macarthur, John Piper, Paul Washer, Voddie Baucham, etc. ) Not to mention the common thread of arrogance with most who follow that belief system ( but i guess if you are 'elect' you are pretty special). Calvinism/Gnosticism usually leads to atheism but at least most fire and brimstone oneness pentecostals maintain a belief in God. They just miss the three person Godhead concept and are often legalistic.

Depending on its context, the word translated “everlasting” (ôlām in Hebrew) in Psalm <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2473">41:13</a> means both “eternity past” and “unending time going on into the future; forever.” God is worthy to receive praise from eternity past, now, and forever after. Ever since the beginning of time and until the future with no end, God was, is, and ever shall be blessed. A similar refrain is found in 1 Chronicles <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="996">16:36</a>: “Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Then all the people said ‘Amen’ and ‘Praise the LORD’” (see also Psalm 1<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="408">06:48</a>). The apostle Paul said In Romans <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="545">9:5</a>, “He is God, the one who rules over everything and is worthy of eternal praise! Amen” (NLT). Scripture repeatedly affirms the eternality of God: “Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God” (Psalm 9<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2">0:2</a>). God’s “throne is established from of old; you are from everlasting,” states Psalm 9<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="182">3:2</a> (ESV). In the book of Nehemiah, the Levites call the people to “stand up and praise the LORD your God, who is from everlasting to everlasting” (Nehemiah <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="545">9:5</a>). The prophet Isaiah identifies God as “Everlasting Father” (Isaiah <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="546">9:6</a>). In Jeremiah <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="610">10:10</a>, He is “the true God; he is the living God and the everlasting King” (ESV). From Genesis to Revelation, He is the “Everlasting God” who lives and “reigns forever and ever” (Genesis <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1293">21:33</a>; Revelation <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="606">10:6</a>; <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="675">11:15</a>). Everything that God is exists from everlasting to everlasting. His name and His renown are eternal (Psalm 1<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2113">35:13</a>). We have the assurance in Psalm 1<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="197">03:17</a> that “from everlasting to everlasting the LORD’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children.” His great love and faithfulness endure forever (Psalm 1<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1022">17:2</a>; 1 Chronicles <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="994">16:34</a>). “He stood and measured the earth; he looked and shook the nations; then the eternal mountains were scattered; the everlasting hills sank low. His were the everlasting ways,” states Habakkuk <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="186">3:6</a> (ESV). Even God’s Word exists from everlasting to everlasting (Psalm 1<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1148">19:8</a>9; John <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="61">1:1</a>). Nothing came before God, and nothing will ever come after Him (Proverbs <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="503">8:23</a>). “Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary” (Isaiah <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2428">40:28</a>). He is “the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End” (Revelation <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1333">22:13</a>, NLT; see also Revelation <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1266">21:6</a>). He is “the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come-the Almighty One” (Revelation <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="68">1:8</a>, NLT). His “kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,” and His “dominion endures through all generations” (Psalm 1<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2713">45:13</a>). Since Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, is God Himself, He possesses the exact nature as God the Father (Isaiah <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="546">9:6</a>; Matthew <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="83">1:23</a>; Colossians <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="129">2:9</a>). There is “no beginning or end to his life,” and He is our priest forever (Hebrews <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="423">7:3</a>, NLT). The eternal nature of our Lord-the fact that our Savior and Advocate exists from everlasting to everlasting-underscores the security we have in Him. “When the storms of life come, the wicked are whirled away, but the godly have a lasting foundation” (Proverbs <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="625">10:25</a>, NLT). David could praise the Lord in his darkest hour because he trusted in his “eternal Rock” (Isaiah <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1564">26:4</a>). And we who have built our lives on the foundation of Jesus Christ can rest securely in His everlasting arms (Matthew <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="444">7:24</a>-27; Isaiah <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1696">28:16</a>; Ephesians <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="140">2:20</a>; Deuteronomy <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2007">33:27</a>).

Exmormon here, and I want to make clear a fundamental misunderstanding of Mormon doctrine. You said they claim to believe in the god of the bible. That is only half true. They believe in the Jesus that the 'prophets' have described, and they claim to believe in the bible as long as it is translated 'correctly.' What you don't seem to realize in this video is that Mormons don't actually believe that there is a perfect translation that exists, so any of these verses you read off to them that contradict church doctrine will be dismissed by them as being a mistranslation, even if it isn't true. They believe that a true translation of the bible, if one were to exist, would fully affirm all of their beliefs. Therefore, using the bible may give you the warm fuzzies, believing that you're epically owning them, but you are actually just talking past them. Discussions such as these remind me of two kids having an argument like 'my dad said X' and the other rebuts, saying 'well, my dad said NOT X.' This is no way of having a productive conversation. Rather, to have a productive conversation with a Mormon where you will shake their faith is by understanding the independently verifiable lies throughout church history and describing them clearly to them.

This man’s spreading false rumors. I’m LDS and the vast majority of the church doesn’t believe the things you’re supposing we do. We believe Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life; none may come unto the father except by him. Would you answer then, how is it fair that billions of people who’ve been through Earth never even heard the name of Jesus Christ- would a just and loving God damn a countless number of people who never even knew the Gospel existed?

As an active LDS member, I thought the questions were good. There are some misunderstandings in some of his assumptions leading into the questions, but they were thought provoking nonetheless. To be fair, we could all find some questions to ask of each other which would be difficult to answer. When it comes to some of these questions concerning God, pre-existence, after life, etc…. I think we all know a lot less then we would like to think.

It is no longer about who is considered right and who is considered wrong. God will sort that out. Our responsibility is to try to live by upright values and defend all people's right to peaceful practice of their religion or belief system. If one group loses their ability to peacefully practice their beliefs, the next group could lose their ability as well.

Great wisdom

This is utterly pathetic, all of these questions are easily answered

I need this in my life. I’m a Christian and live in an area where we get bombarded with waves of “elders” on bikes all summer long

My wife will not let me talk to the Mormon missionaries. i guess because I am to confrontational and have questions they can't answer.

They claim Jesus returned to the America's because he said "sheep not of this flock" meaning gentiles. That would mean we missed his second coming.

"19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise" (John <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="319">5:19</a>) Jesus can do NOTHING save he see the FATHER do it. Jesus was born, Jesus grew up, Jesus died, Jesus resurrected etc, and could do none of it save he see the Father do it first. So as you can see, we Mormons are more Biblical in our teaching. So what's the first question and how did I not answer it? With regards to whatever the second question is, Paul said: "15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature" Colosians <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="75">1:15</a>) Jesus is the Firstborn of ALL creation that's right in the Bible I don't know what the third question is either but King David did say he would not remain in hell: "10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption" (Psalms <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="970">16:10</a>) In fact David repeats and illiterate on it: "13 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell" (Psalms 8<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="373">6:13</a>)

This video is complete nonsense. The speaker does not know what the LDS religion believes, and he puts old Mormon speculation in the place of Mormon teachings.

How do you witness to evangelicals?

We do not have a different God and you do not have a different God. We have a deeper understanding of the same God and the parameters under which that God exist. It is the same God and the same Jesus Christ… OK I'm pulling up to Home Depot I got to go in when I come out. I'll continue listening and commenting. This is a good man just like I was before I join the church I had limited understanding, now I can see a bigger picture and I'm at complete piece with myself and with this person's explanation because he doesn't see the whole picture it's like sitting in a room full of books under a lightbulb that's 100 W then the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints comes to the scene and you have an endless wattage to look at the books and the knowledge that is out there into increase your understanding

Hello, you claim that Mormons can't answer the three questions you've posed so I'll take on the challenge of answering them. 1. I don't think by saying God is everlasting, it means God has always been God. I think to claim God is everlasting is to claim that God has always existed in some form, which Latter Day Saints believe. As far as the idea of God being unchangeable, I believe that's referring to the way God is now. God is at a point where He doesn't change at all anymore. I don't think that necessarily means that God has always been unchangeable. I think it just means that God has been unchangeable since He first became God. 2. You're mistaken when you say Latter Day Saints believe there was a time when Jesus and the rest of us didn't exist. Latter Day Saints typically fall into one of two categories of what we believe we were before being children of God. Some believe that we've always existed as spirits and that God adopted us as children at some point. Others believe that we existed as an entity called intelligences before being children of God and that Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother created our spirit bodies and then we became spirit children of God. D&C 9<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="209">3:29</a> reads "Man was also in the beginning with God. Intelligence, or the light of truth, was not created or made, neither indeed can be". As far as Jesus being the creator of everything, I interpret everything to mean this physical universe. When it comes to Jesus saying He is the beginning and the end, I interpret that to mean that He was there when the creation of the universe started and He'll be there when it ends. 3. I think you have a slight misunderstanding of Mormon belief regarding salvation vs. exaltation. Salvation is to have an immortal body and live in a degree of Heaven. Exaltation is to be able to go to the highest degree of Heaven and become a God. The lowest degree of Heaven is the Telestial Kingdom. D&C 76: 109-110 says this about the people in that kingdom. "109 But behold, and lo, we saw the glory and the inhabitants of the telestial world, that they were as innumerable as the stars in the firmament of heaven, or as the sand upon the seashore; and heard the voice of the Lord saying: These all shall bow the knee, and every tongue shall confess to him who sits upon the throne forever and ever". So, to get to Heaven you just have to believe in and confess to Christ. However, in order to gain exaltation, you must make and keep sacred covenants with God by the proper priesthood authority. As for your scripture of Hebrews <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="567">9:27</a>, I'll quote it and give my explanation. It reads, "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment". It says but after this the judgement. So, what exactly does the word this mean in this context? I think it's referring to the resurrection. After the resurrection will come the judgement. Latter Day Saints do believe sin separates man from God, that's why Jesus had to atone for the sins of all. A historian named Don Bradley explained that the phrase being saved after all you can do was a phrase in Joseph Smith's time that basically meant we are saved by grace despite everything we can do. I agree that we are saved by grace, no problem there. When the Bible says eternal life comes by believing on the Son of God, I think its authors are assuming that after believing on Him, they will do everything it takes to gain eternal life, which includes making and keeping covenants to God by the proper priesthood authority. Now that I’ve tried to answer those questions, I have some for you. Why didn’t God just create us all in Heaven in the first place? Why come to Earth to grow if we’re just going to be singing praises to God for eternity anyway? Why didn’t God only create those He knew would obey Him so nobody ended up suffering in Hell? Did God create all the rules that govern eternity? If so, could God create a rule that anyone who breaks a rule can be forgiven if they are sincerely sorry and change? If so, why was Jesus’s sacrifice necessary? What happens to all those who died without ever hearing about Jesus Christ in their lifetime and having a chance to repent of their sins through Him? Why did God create marriage in the first place if it’s just going to cease to exist after this life anyway? Please, I’d like to hear your answer to any or all of these questions.

Alot of your views on my church are false and I think it's because you have a misunderstanding of the plan of salvation/happiness. I ask that you look into it more as it provides answers to all of your questions.

Question, Sir: You mentioned Pentecostals as a cult. Please explain. Thank you.

I'm an ex-Mormon, and it's always interesting listening to these kinds of video's because I like to wonder what I would say if I watched this when I was still Mormon, and I can guarantee, I would never have an answer for any of these questions, whatsoever. Something not a lot of people know about, is that Gordon B. Hinkley, a former Prophet of the Mormon church, flat out said the Jesus they speak of, is not the Jesus Christ Christian's worship - which makes sense considering they believe Jesus is the spirt brother of Lucifer. Something else to note with Mormon's - they proclaim the Book of Mormon as another testament to Jesus Christ, and say nothing in the Book of Mormon contradicts the Bible - but Alma <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="430">7:10</a> says that Jesus was born in Jerusalem.

The difference between missionary work conducted by ministries like this and that done by our missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: We reach out and explain our beliefs and then challenge the listener to ask God about what we believe. We also teach and read from the Bible as well as the Book of Mormon. Ministries like this attempt to destroy faith and supplant it with their own, one way to do this is to create a strawman and attack that instead of actually learning and understanding what we believe and engage in a respectful manner. Which example sounds like it’s relying on Christ to create the witness and which is relying on the smooth talk and intellect of the presenter?

is it a good idea to use the Bible to refute Mormon ideas, since the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints doesn't believe in biblical inerrancy?

Hebrews <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="567">9:27</a> "appointed unto men once to die," meaning we die once not live once.

John <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1217">20:17</a> “Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.” John <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1227">20:27</a> Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. So it would appear in these verses that Christ has a physical body in Heaven, and needed it. If Jesus has a body in Heaven then it would make sense that God has one and we will as well.

If Christ will come to judge the earth and everyone who has lived on earth throughout time when he comes again,, then we're did all those people go when they died before they were juded

Eternal life according to the scriptures, we don't have all the scriptures come on there's just some canonize things that we have don't limit what a person can achieve we will all have eternal life. That's a free gift from God yes, and many of us will have exaltation it only makes sense gotta go. I'm at my next appointment heykeep it real. Love y'all… I'm in Texas. Ha ha ha lol

From my experience using the Bible to prove LDS wrong they will reply that Scripture has been altered or not translated properly. And that certain errors crept into the faith after the Apostles died.

Why is the "angel" that appeared to Joseph Smith true but the "angel" that appeared to Mohammad false? I find it fascinating that Paul, though inspiration of The Holy Spirit, wrote in Galatians <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="68">1:8</a> "8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed." The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), Ga <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="68">1:8</a>-9.

OK, I'm back… We have absolutely we absolutely know that we are safe by Grace. We absolutely positively unequivocally know that not only are we saved by grace, but all of God's children are saved by grace we just have a different definition for saved… Our definition of saved is all of us will have eternal life, all of God's children will have eternal life However, not all of God's children will have eternal life in the presence of their creator So we absolutely believe that we are saved by grace and we will receive resurrection and eternal life. OK let's see what else he has to say that is diagnosis of my belief.

I know that I’m a few years late to this haha But yes we have answers to all of these things. 1 & 2 are very similar questions. Yes both Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are from everlasting to everlasting. They didn’t NOT exist at some point as we are all eternal. All of us have existed in some form or another all of us will exist continually. Beyond that, if you want to get into eternity, time, interpretations of the Bible and its numerous translations, I’m not here for that. Suffice it to say that for us there is one God and there always will be and always has been. As for question #3, according to your definition of salvation, being with and living with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ (for us the more precise term is exaltation), then yes, not everyone and in truth comparatively few will be saved. Just because we believe that VERY few people will be left to endless suffering doesn’t mean we believe that everyone will be sent to live in the presence of God. Also, no, the main point of exaltation isn’t to become a god but rather to glorify the Father by becoming like Him and His beloved Son (Romans <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="494">8:14</a>-17 is one of many great examples of scriptures teaching this concept). And lastly, yes it is through grace that we are saved. We simply believe that accepting Christ means that you will love Him and keep His commandments to the best of your ability (John <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="855">14:15</a>). As for “all that you can do”, that’s between you and God. That and we know that thankfully Jesus Christ our Lord and savior gives us strength to do better and be better day by day. The Atonement, His divine suffering and condescension, is something that allows for daily change and in honesty it is only through His grace that we CAN change. So just to summarize, all of these questions are answerable. I only briefly touched on everything because this is already so long for a RU-vid comment. But the more you study the more these questions become answers, the more the Spirit opens your eyes to the truth. It’s been years so no doubt that this won’t be seen by many or any individuals, but God bless and know that I love you all as my brothers and sisters in Christ.

I’m not religious but it’s interesting

I would need a lot of space to respond to your accusations, but here let me affirm, I am an ex-Protestant (father was a Protestant minister), and I was also a missionary in Germany, and I know most assuredly that I am saved by the atonement and grace of Jesus Christ, and that I am in the midst of my eternal life. Just like Jesus, He and I and all of mankind have always existed, first as intelligences (intelligences have always existed from eternity to eternity), then as spirits begotten by Heavenly Parents. Jesus is now resurrected and thanks to Him so will I be. In the next life I will likewise be resurrected and go on to my celestial glory. It is even as Joseph Smith declared in Lectures On Faith <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="364">6:4</a> "Such was, and always will be, the situation of the saints of God, that unless they have an actual knowledge that the course they are pursuing is according to the will of God they will grow weary in their minds, and faint; ..." I am not weary and I am not fainting. Repent dear soul. 😊

I'm mormon (well jack mormon) and eternal life is for everyone who decided to come down from pre-existence life to live on earth regardless of what you did here. Those who rejected the plan of happiness are satan's followers and do not qualify for eternal life.

Sounds like a game to you guys........you will find out in time.

When a religion talks about another religion being false is a sign that they don’t believe in their own faith. This reminds me of a person who is jealous of someone else’s blessings.
