Preston Perry talks to a group of LDS elders 

What is your name, friend? I would like to keep you in my prayers, so that you may witness the Gospel and the Holy Spirit flood the hearts of those who are earnest about seeking truth!

i will pray right now!

I agree, I almost fell into the trinity doctrine because of the masses beliefs. I only realized truths studying on my own and praying for clarity and guidance. There is a lot of confusion and mystification out there.

He was tuned all the way in. He even leans forward when Preston is speaking.

Praise God

No these are specific listening skills they are taught at the Missionary Training Center. They are not falling for Preston's less than pre-school understanding of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They were expecting to come share a simple message not have a debate about disproven nonsensical anti-mormon tropes. He creepily filmed them secretly to profit off Jesus on RU-vid.

He is probably a new missionary, usually there is a new elder paired with a more experienced missionary. So he was probably less comfortable sharing in front of a camera and being put online and under a lot of pressure.

You think this is a joke, but you are a fool, and so is this dude who thinks his knowledge trumps God’s words, and God’s servants. He said he respect the elder couple and feels they are wise then continues to try to be wiser than them. This dude is going to have some bad responses from the most high! I promise you that! Mark my wards, his arrogance will be visited by Gods wrath.

I rejoice with you and thank God deep from my heart that He lavished His grace upon you and saved you.

Hey brotha, is there anyway I can connect with you? Would love to hear your pov.

I am in the same boat.

PRAISE GOD

I must say....I have come to know that in church the bible is really not enforced.....Its kinda there but the focus is on the Book of M....I will continue to keep my eyes open....I have come to realize that for alot of people church is just a thing that they do because their parents have told them too., and not looked fir answers for themselves.....I still believe in the gospel...I do churxh differently these days

It hurts my heart that they are so decieved.

Is it because you studied Native American anthropology and archaeology including Biblical holy land archeological studies that also made you question your belief in Mormon teachings?

I hear you. I had a very similar experience and it was so so painful and then it was beautiful and glorious. My eyes see clearly now too and the chains of indoctrination have been removed. There are still days where God reveals a chain I still have and an untruth rooted in me, and gives me the opportunity to have it removed and replaced with pure love and grace. Thank you, Abba.

Thank you for sharing your journey brother

I'm sorry you're faith in Jesus is lost

The lds missionaries are great at spreading truth

This was creepy and lame. He hid a camera so he could show off arguing with a couple 18 year olds. Creepy and illegal. He prepared his whole life for this and they thought they were just coming to teach some basics of our church. Creepy entrapment and illegal filming without permission is all this is. His arguments are straight out of the budget anti-mormon books that have been disproven since the 1800s.

What good works prove you have faith and how many would you need to show this? Is that in scripture.

@murraylloyd6011 James 2

​@@kikinatroneGod requires perfection to get into heaven. You need the righteousness of God. Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect.

@@murraylloyd6011 James 2:18 "I will show you my faith by my works" Also, Romans 6:16 "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey" if your works are evil then your master is evil. However, prior to that Paul talks about how grace covers it all despite our sins. It is not the works that save you but Grace. However, if Christ is not your master do you have grace? The very Epistle people quote to talk about grace also shows us that works are an essential component of receiving that grace. It is a complicated scenario but the way I look at it, Grace saves us no matter how much sin was or might someday be in our lives and it is merely our efforts to obey God that qualify us for Grace, not the works themselves but our attitude of following the Savior. Likewise, if God has commanded us to be baptized and we are not making every effort to follow that command than are we truly his servants. Grace is there for free waiting only for us to take it by becoming Servants of God. Works, therefore, are required. Not because works get us into heaven because there is no amount of works that make us worthy or free of sin but because believing in Christ is the requirement and you cannot believe in Christ if you do not believe Him and seek to obey Him to the best of your ability. To me it is plain as day in the words of Paul and also the words of Christ Himself when he said "If ye love me keep my commandments"(John 14:15) and "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." (Matthew 7:21). And even if I'm wrong about what Paul meant I'd rather trust Jesus Christ himself over Paul. Especially when it is written so plainly.

A relationship with Jesus, and the great exchange ( accepting His GIFT of salvation through His death, burial and resurrection in your stead) provides that righteousness.

The Book of Mormon is true, and another witness of the same gospel of Jesus Christ as the Bible. Joseph Smith was a true prophet who worshipped Jesus Christ. The church was infiltrated by wicked men. When Joseph Smith was murdered, Brigham Young usurped control of the church and led some of the saints to SLC, Utah (many refused to follow him). Brigham Young introduced many false doctrines into that denomination including polygamy, men becoming Gods, Adam God, blood atonement of men, penal oath temple rituals, a Heavenly Mother, Lucifer being Jesus' brother, incorrect definition of Christ’s church, etc. None of that is in the Book of Mormon or teachings of Joseph Smith, but Brigham Young and the wicked leaders under and after him have pretended that it came from Joseph Smith in order to gain acceptance for their own evil and lustful desires. The LDS church of today is Brigham Young's denomination and is apostate from the teachings of the church under Joseph Smith.

God bless you!

​@@joesimpson9230The Book of Mormon is false. Joseph Smith was deceived or worse, he was an evil man who made it up.

Righttt. Preston did this with so much love and you could tell his goal was not to back them into a “gotcha moment” but to simply to understand their view and lowkey plant/stir up something in them

It's creepy. Preston hid a camera and filmed two 18 year old boys without permission. He prepared his whole life to ambush two 18 year old boys who are only there to share with him the very basics. They weren't prepared for Preston's uninformed arguments. Despite his additional preparation, Preston is still clueless about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. P.S. the old people with them are probably just retired elderly missionaries who offered to give the missionaries a ride. Preston ambushed them all and filmed them illegally without their permission. They thought they were there to just share a simple message not have a debate.

​@peytoneldridge250 theirs nothing wrong with gotcha moments theirs a place and time for everything, those moments can show how their world view aka religion can't even withstand slight pressure.

beautifully wrote✍🏽

I would be very open to have a conversation with you about the true Gospel of Christ as a Latter-day Saint.

Yes, pretending to be interested in learning about their church to trick 18 year old boys to come to your house really shows elegance and grace. Then secretly filming the 18 year old boys (and the old couple who gave them a ride there) to post a video showing off how he can take advantage of the young missionaries willingness to visit. They came to share basic principles thinking Preston was sincerely interested in learning from them and he tricked them. Preston prepared his whole life for this moment to argue with a couple 18 year old elders who only prepared to share the basics in this lesson. I'd like to see Preston have this discussion with a real apologist or even the fun people at Ward Radio, instead of taken advantage of some kids who just turned 18 and went on a mission. These young missionaries and the senior missionaries are not apologists. Preston Perry claimed to practice apologetics, so maybe he should talk to a Latter-day Saint apologist, not some kids straight out of high school who are volunteering to serve and share the basics of the Gospel.

⁠@@ChrisClarkeArt as a believer this shouldn’t be seen as trick. And they volunteered to come to his house. If anything it’s an opportunity to learn the truth. Why are you bothered by this? And he’s allowing those young men to think about what they believe and ask more questions. It’s a great opportunity for each person to learn. Your comment makes me question why you watch Preston in the first place.

@@ThePhilly71 it is illegal and creepy to record and post videos of people without their knowledge or prior consent. Believers can only be edified together if they come together in an open and honest environment, with sincere intent, in the name of Christ. This was not that. It was a secretly recorded act of self gratification for click bait views to profit off of Christ. RU-vid, law, and common decency require that all recorded persons provide consent. It is obvious these young guys had no idea they were being recorded.

I expect half the members of the church to leave the covenant path of Zion to fulfill the parable that Jesus gave of the ten wise and foolish virgins. For the Ten Virgins are not the Born Again Evangelist Christians but are the Latter-day Saints. 5 will be wise and 5 will be foolish.

​@@germanslice"Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."

There's a clip from a BYU talk given by Jayson Kunzler. His devotion to JS is downright terrifying. If every investigator were to watch his speech, it's hard to imagine anyone converting after that!

Adoration and appreciation for Joseph Smith is certainly an issue. But that is a fault of men and not necessarily an issue with the church as a whole. We pray to and seek the Lords guidance and not guidance from Joseph Smith. Can we not be forgiven for that if some of us are off the mark? It is very seductive to a person that has taken into consideration all of scripture in relation to how men and women are to be in the world. The church has high demands because we don't believe all we have to do is believe and then we get grace and are saved. We look at all the teachings and the summary of all that is there is more for us to do not to be saved or to save ourselves but because we are asked to do these things. I feel for many Latter-day Saints in high pressure cultures that lead to frustrations and feelings of inadequacy. Church leaders do not teach or push for this. Holland spoke of what perfection means for us in the scriptures. We are always encouraged that we are loved and that we can repent when we do wrong. God is merciful and I don't think we are always as willing to be merciful and charitable towards ourselves.

Praise God that you kept your faith in Christ despite Joseph Smith’s deception , not many who leave the LDS church keep that faith! I wanted to ask if you could give one or two main topics to focus on that might be helpful to open an LDS member’s mind to the possibility of Joseph’s falsehood what would that be? Also, I would suggest reading Isaiah’s Vision in God’s Throne Room! Might help with seeing that God will use anyone who is repentant and willing! Isaiah 6:1-8 King James Version 6 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. 4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. 6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

this was so beautiful to read it made me tear up. it truly is all of God’s doing and offering of grace to us. God bless you!!

Love your testimony, may Jesus continue to bless you and set you free through revelation & intimacy with Him… hallelujah

I’m an exmo too and watching this gave me major anxiety and just made me feel sad for them. Especially those poor boys…

Can y’all who hate the church come with your own talking points instead of cutting and pasting from like minded persecutors. At this point it’s all fake….I was a “mormon missionary” and I left the church to find Jesus. I didn’t know Jesus lost🤦🏾‍♀️. Perhaps, you are the one that is lost as the adversary have whispered into your ears and have led you astray. Know this that God’s Prophecy is being fulfilled as you mock, spread lies and persecute his church and I pray you will repent and reject the devil and he will flee. May God forgive y’all as you know not what you say or do.

No man hath seen God at any time..... John 1:18 A profecy from the profet Alma 7:10 that Christ was going to be born in Jerusalem . didn't he ever knew about Bethlehem?

I pray God's favor over you!

@jobsalido4843 The verse you note from the Gospel according to John, in its original Greek, reads: "Θεὸν οὐδεὶς ἑώρακεν πώποτε· ὁ μονογενὴς Υἱὸς ὁ ὢν εἰς τὸν κόλπον τοῦ Πατρὸς ἐκεῖνος ἐξηγήσατο." Per my own translation, this translates to "No one has ever seen God; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has made Him known." The essence of this passage is to communicate the incomprehensible and invisible nature of God the Father, who is made known to us through the Son, Jesus Christ. This is a profound mystery-that Christ is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation, as stated in Colossians 1:15. Regarding the prophecy from the Book of Alma, I want to point out that the Book of Mormon is not part of the historical canon of Christianity and is not recognized as scripture by those adhering to historical Christian orthodoxy. As such, when Alma speaks of Christ being born in "the land of Jerusalem," this reflects a divergence from the biblical account, which clearly states in Micah 5:2, in its Hebrew text: "וְאַתָּה בֵּית־לֶחֶם אֶפְרָתָה צָעִיר לִהְיוֹת בְּאַלְפֵּי יְהוּדָה מִמְּךָ לִי יֵצֵא לִהְיוֹת מוֹשֵׁל בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל וּמוֹצָאֹתָיו מִקֶּדֶם מִימֵי עוֹלָם." This can be translated as: "But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times." This prophecy, penned centuries before the birth of Christ, specifies Bethlehem as the birthplace of the Messiah, which is fulfilled in the New Testament account of Jesus's birth in the town of Bethlehem, not Jerusalem. The distinction is important, as it validates the prophecy and the historical accuracy of the Gospel accounts.

Good job. You are so inspiring. I’m not sure I could do this effectively without getting confused or debating them, which isn’t fruitful.

@normiejeanj I respond with something they say that I find contrary to Christianity ("Biblical Christianity") with a format such as "I can appreciate that, but in the OT/NT, scripture says ______, which would lead me to believe __________, and that seems to be at odds with what your Book of Mormon / D&C scripture says, so how would you reconcile that?" I usually can visibly notice them becoming uncomfortable or uncertain and they'll even look at each other like "Ummmm you wanna take this? I got nothing". I've been in discussions with missionaries since 2022. But this is the first group I've chatted with that I feel I have a chance with because I have studied scripture much more diligently the last several months - Both OT and NT, and Book of Mormon, D&C, and their Articles of Faith; as well as other... interesting.. Mormon church history. If I made the conversations a debate, I am absolutely certain that they would remove me from their little list of people they give to the new missionaries to reach out to. I attend their church, I sit in on their 'elders quorum', and have a loose relationship with several members. Not because I'm truly open minded to their church, I am not at all, not even slightly, but because being similarly educated about their beliefs as the missionaries are, but 'still seeking my testimony to Smith and the Book of Mormon', allows me to be someone that they can know has the same experiences and knowledge as they do, in most ways at least, but still sees where their belief system is fundamentally flawed and my "questioning" of these things can become their questioning of these things, which is required for anybody to convert from one belief system to another. But my goal isn't to convert them, or argue, it is to have an honest and frank discussion about Christ, and help them to understand what a real Biblical Christian believes, contrary to what their false doctrine teaches. I myself have plenty left to learn, but becoming an expert of anything requires more than studying alone; it requires real-world practice. I look at preaching at a two part actvity: First, practice(PR). Whatever message you want to share, apply this message into your own life and live according to it. Second, T(Each). Teach this message, and how it has positively affected your life. In the case of LDS members, a lot of their testimony (I see them bear testimonies one after the other once per month, and sometimes one or two during a regular church service) revolves around how following their church's doctrines and ordinances has created a feeling of fulfillment in their lives to know that Jesus Christ is their savior, that Joseph Smith was a prophet from God, that prophets live today (their church presidents), and their church is the true and restored church of Jesus Christ. It's my intention to show them by my own practice that everything beyond Christ's revelation in the NT is unnecessary, and they're following a false christ who doesn't exist and the true christ will not know them when the day of the lord comes.

We even had videos and primary lessons about that image so programed into me.

That is the fault of men. None of that BS you learned comes from the standard works: The Holy Bible, The Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and The Pearl of Great Price. The Book of Mormon is clear that grace is God's patience with us, and power working through us. We are saved through our faith in Christ. Our works represent how real our faith is. @@sassysweetsphynx6418

Amen. I almost get the feeling that these mormons keep back peddling what it actually says in their book. Am I wrong?

@@myonevoice1 The Book of Mormon has always said that salvation is through faith alone in Christ, that Christ died for all mankind's sins, and that God's grace is his patience with us, and power in us to do better.

When my sister was moving to Utah, we joked and said don't let them turn you into a mormon....sure enough she loved the people and joined their church in a short time. She liked that they lived their faith, which many professing Christians do not. We grew up Christian and she was baptized sometime around high school age. She moved out of Utah years and years ago, but has stayed in Mormonism. I keep praying the Holy Spirit will correct her and bring her out of it, but it's been almost 30 years. It makes me sad.

It's a lie to say that LDS are outcasts. All of Christianity doesn't agree on everything. There are many different types of Christians. As a Latter-day Saint, I can tell you that The Book of Mormon supports what the Bible teaches: that Jesus is our Lord and Savior. We are saved through faith alone in Christ.

​@@user-nk5bw8ml4z well to real Christians you are not a brother certainly not a brother to me. You jeed to turn from that satanic church and turn to the truth. Joseph Smith was a blasphemer and is in hell.

@@user-nk5bw8ml4zI’m sorry but I was raised in the Mormon church and your doctrine contradicts the Biblical truths. You believe in different degrees of heaven which then requires that heaven and salvation is NOT a based on Christ alone but that works are required. Christ is God… not our brother. And you believe we can attain godhood and rule our own planets. I was MORMON and Preston is addressing all these contradictory issues that are essential as a Mormon and therefore do not follow the basic gospel truth of the Bible,

@@vanbisquik You were a Latter-day Saint but did not understand your own theology. It’s understandable. Many don’t. Just like many Christians do not understand the Bible. The Book of Mormon says Jesus “comes to take away the sins of the world, yea, the sins of every man who steadfastly believeth on his name.” We believe in three degrees of heaven. All who are faithful are saved and enter into one of the three heavens. Real faith produces righteous fruit. Sure, there are differences in our beliefs. We believe God revealed certain truths to the prophet Joseph Smith.

The Apostasy is that there is only one God - there are not multiple Gods to be worshipped. Isiah 43:10 - First and last God theology.

Yessss sis, the Bible tells us to study to show ourselves approved. How can we share the gospel and share the TRUTH if we don’t know it?

Paul was writing his letter to the Galatian churches and explaining that the Old Testament Jewish laws would not bring salvation. It's reported that the Galatians felt that Paul was being to soft on the Gentiles and not requiring them to follow many of the Jewish religious laws. This is contrary to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Salvation is only through the grace of God. They (and we) cannot be saved by any other means nor by any other name than Jesus Christ. The Jewish law would not save them. That gospel and good news is echoed in the Book of Mormon. 2 Nephi 11 RLDS (2 Nephi 25 LDS) "Yea, behold, I say unto you, that as these things are true, and as the Lord God liveth, there is none other name given under heaven, save it be this Jesus Christ of which I have spoken, whereby man can be saved." 2 Nephi 7:42 RLDS And remember after ye are reconciled unto God, that it is only in and through the grace of God that ye are saved. Mosiah 1:108 (3:12 LDS) But wo, wo unto him who knoweth that he rebelleth against God; for salvation cometh to none such, except it be through repentance and faith on the Lord Jesus Christ. Mosiah 1:116-118 (3:17-18) And moreover, I say unto you, that there shall be no other name given, nor any other way nor means whereby salvation can come unto the children of men, only in and through the name of Christ, the Lord Omnipotent. For behold, he judgeth, and his judgment is just, and the infant perisheth not, that dieth in his infancy; But men drink damnation to their own souls, except they humble themselves, and become as little children, and believe that salvation was, and is, and is to come, in and through the atoning blood of Christ, the Lord Omnipotent:

@@JohnDrewDesigner What you have stated is false. Paul absolutely discussed the law in his letter to the Galatians. I could post the verses for you, but will leave you to search and find at least 25 references to the "law". Your second issue is that you pretend that just the Bible is the totality of God's scriptures, yet no verse of the Bible says that. So what I stated is only heretical to your opinion and eisegesis and false tradition of men, but not to the true gospel and doctrine of Jesus Christ. The Bible does not mention the word "Bible" nor does it pretend that God's words would be limited to just 66 scrolls of scripture. The earlier Ethiopian Christian Bible has 89 books...and that was compiled based on what was available to them 1800 years ago. Jesus Christ was sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel and that certainly included the lost sheep of the 10 lost tribes of Israel scattered across the earth. They too heard His voice. Matthew 15:24 “But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” John 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. Luke 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. John 21:25 "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen." 2Esdras 13:40-45 Those are the ten tribes, which were carried away prisoners out of their own land in the time of Osea the king, whom Salmanasar the king of Assyria led away captive, and he carried them over the waters, and so came they into another land. But they took this counsel among themselves, that they would leave the multitude of the heathen, and go forth into a further country, where never mankind dwelt, That they might there keep their statutes, which they never kept in their own land. And they entered into Euphrates by the narrow places of the river. For the most High then shewed signs for them, and held still the flood, till they were passed over. For through that country there was a great way to go, namely, of a year and a half: and the same region is called Arsareth.

@@JohnDrewDesigner How odd. You complain about sources not in the Bible, then you appeal to sources not in the Bible. The point of the scriptures I shared is to show you that God is not limited to Judea and limited to the Bible. I am a Bible believing Christian. I also am a Book of Mormon believing Christian. Both are scripture and are words of God and both share the gospel (good news) of Jesus Christ (who is God). Jesus Christ is the only name by which we can be saved. 2 Nephi 11 RLDS (2 Nephi 25 LDS) "Yea, behold, I say unto you, that as these things are true, and as the Lord God liveth, there is none other name given under heaven, save it be this Jesus Christ of which I have spoken, whereby man can be saved." 2 Nephi 7:42 RLDS And remember after ye are reconciled unto God, that it is only in and through the grace of God that ye are saved. Mosiah 1:108 (3:12 LDS) But wo, wo unto him who knoweth that he rebelleth against God; for salvation cometh to none such, except it be through repentance and faith on the Lord Jesus Christ.

@@JohnDrewDesigner You: "which is noted historically not just biblically". Here is you appealing to sources outside of the Bible. Then you claim you didn't. 🥴 The truth remains that there is no scripture pretending that all of God's words would be limited to "a Bible". John 21:25 "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen."

No it isn't. It is creepy as hell. He secretly filmed two 18 year old boys who were there to share a simple message. They are not apologists. Also, Preston is clueless about the Book of Mormon and its connection to the Bible, as well as totally out of his element and clueless talking about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This wasn't a masterclass in apologetics. What a joke! I'd like to see him have this same discussion with Ward Radio, Jacob Hansen, or CwikMedia. He would totally fail.

More power to you Brother.. To Repent Unto The One True Living God displays The Holy Spirit was teaching and presenting for your next time moment!!!👋😎🙏💪☝️👍 it's never about Us.. It's all about The Lord Jesus Christ📕🔍😊✊

@@ChrisClarkeArt the trinity of terrible mormon apologetics

@@BrendonKing I was just listing some content creators that would be better than ambushing young missionaries with a hidden camera. You opinion about them is not relevant to this conversation. Saints Unscripted would be fine, an actual apologist or professor would be fine as well, any of these options would be better than a creepy hidden camera discussion with missionaries who are just there to teach the first lesson from Preach My Gospel.

​@ChrisClarkeArt I highly doubt any of them would be more "successful" than the 4 in this video. Like it says in Matthew 10:19 "But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak." It's not Preston speaking but the Lord speaking through him.

Im praying for you bro

Do you have a way to reconcile those points he brought up to the other LDS members ?

@@TSatty they did a pretty good job of reconciling it themselves! I wouldn’t say this interview was a slam dunk for Preston. If anything, it really opened my eyes to the similarities between the two groups. Great interview

@@gabriellel268 they didn’t reconcile any of the text contradictions he brought up between the Bible and book of mormon. They go to their own testimony. He even brought up how they shouldn’t trust that type of answer from praying if it contradicts Gods previous revelation. We have so many manuscripts from the Bible we can bank on its authenticity and accuracy. It’s how we can tell some translations today aren’t too accurate. Like the JW bible. I don’t think they provided any solid answer to reconcile. While they did repeat some things that were close I’m not sure how they said on a few of them they don’t see the co tradiction.

@@TSatty Preston was clueless and it was creepy that he filmed them secretly. And your comments about the Bible and Book of Mormon are clueless as well. 18 year old volunteer missionaries are not apologists. Everything Preston said against the Book of Mormon is nonsense that has already easily been answered and disproven since the 1800s. They are the same failed arguments that were made by the "Good Christian" Protestant people who tormented, massacred, raped, and put out an Extermination Order on the early Mormon Pioneers in the name of Jesus.

He did, that's why I joined! 🙂

Thank you so much for your prayers for us living for Jesus in Utah. We need a mighty work of the Spirit here to shed the blinders and deception.

❤ We all are.

You're right. Planting the seed is all we can do. Let the Holy Spirit do the convicting.

Your beliefs may match up with theirs more than you realize.

@@Skyesoceaneyes it doesn’t

Huh?

Non of that made any sense. You didn't have support or didn't stay in the church for long at that age I wouldn't of even baptize you unless you showed commitment or had family support.

I hope that you will someday return to Christ.

The important question is did you have your name removed from their membership numbers? They care about the numbers. I care about you, and hope that you will meet Jesus personally and have the Holy Spirit shaken and bubbling out of you like the soda can shared in the video.

Girl me too!!! I left a year ago!

@@sulllivanofficial5478 and @nataliabahrke7113 - The Book of Mormon is true, and another witness of the same gospel of Jesus Christ as the Bible. Joseph Smith was a true prophet who worshipped Jesus Christ. The church was infiltrated by wicked men. When Joseph Smith was murdered, Brigham Young usurped control of the church and led some of the saints to SLC, Utah (many refused to follow him). Brigham Young introduced many false doctrines into that denomination including polygamy, men becoming Gods, Adam God, blood atonement of men, penal oath temple rituals, a Heavenly Mother, Lucifer being Jesus' brother, incorrect definition of Christ’s church, etc. None of that is in the Book of Mormon or teachings of Joseph Smith, but Brigham Young and the wicked leaders under and after him have pretended that it came from Joseph Smith in order to gain acceptance for their own evil and lustful desires. The LDS church of today is Brigham Young's denomination and is apostate from the teachings of the church under Joseph Smith.

You haven't been converted from anything. You now know the truth. LDS is a lie and deception of the True Gospel

I feel you so deeply on that. I too, struggle with the idea of the triune. But praying the Lord will renew my understanding each day. ❤

I am an extra LDS member the funny thing is, is that I never understood that the LDS trout things differently lol I recently talked with some friends that were still members to explain what they believed to me lol. I would just like to encourage you though. The truth is not elusive. If you seek God you will find him. Continue reading the Bible I have an app that has several translations of the Bible and for me that is very helpful. I know the Mormon church only likes the KJV but you can even go to we’re the Dead Sea scrolls are housed at museums and see their manuscripts translate with with google translate. If you are up for the extra research. That has helped me a lot though, anyways just some tips I also love pastors perspective here on RU-vid you can call in if you still have some questions. It is several pastors and super insightful

The triune God interpreted from the contentious council of Nicaea hundreds of years after the original writers of the New Testament? Good luck with fully understanding that interpretation

"For God is not the author of confusion" .... trinity is man made doctrine bro

Amen!!

Amen !

Amen, I'm agreeing with you in prayer!

“Wrong as two left shoes” 😂 That made me giggle. Love the expression. Praying for these folks and for my own LDS family.

That interpretation of the Godhead is not quite right. The Father, Son and Holy Ghost are a high council of three separate distinct beings, two of them have immortal perfected resurrected tangible bodies of flesh and bone, for if the son inherited all things from the Father then that also includes inheriting a resurected body like the Father. The third member the Holy Ghost has a spirit body, but all three of them are united as being one in unity and harmony and purpose spiritually because their wills are all swallowed up in each other. The Father and Son are eternal spirits that are embodied. Their spirits are made of uncreated self-existing eternal intelligence..Stephen saw both the Father and the Son. And that truth that they are self-existing eternal beings is taught in Eccl 3:6 which teaches that God is eternal and everything he does is also eternal.

I used to say the same thing for a long time. I would want to encourage you to re-consider this, because this way of thinking is called "Modalism". Water can not take all three variations at once, when it becomes ice, it stops being liquid, and when it becomes steam it stops being ice. But God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are all existing at the same time, one does not stop being one, to be the other. I hope that makes sense, I say this out of love. Thank you!

@@vadimdushuk Because the Son inherits the resurrection from God the Father who had sent him. The Father holds the keys. There is the spirit of the Lord that radiates out from God the Father and fills the universe allowing the Father to know all things, and there is also the Holy Ghost the third member of the Godhead. who is a male spirit personage They are not the same they are two different things and this is where people get confused. The truth is the Godhead is one in unity spiritually but three separate distinct beings individually. They work together as one God, short for Godhead. They are also self-existing beings of intelligence so they have no beginning or end. Have eternal natures. So the one true God or Godhead is three distinct beings working together as one unit or team with the Father which we call the Godhead the High Council of Heaven to bring about his eternal will and purposes. The Godhead is not one single member but has three members in it. Because that oneness of spiritual unity is illustrated in the Lord's great Intercessory Prayer there's more than one member of the Godhead that is involved in this relationship. For Jesus invites all to join with him in this relationship he has with his Father so the saints can become just like he and his father are. That is the truth. They are two separate beings because Christ is the Bridegroom and his Father is the King of Heaven whom he laid out the wedding feast out for. That is the Doctrine that Christ taught to become like him and his Father. Jesus has someone else who was teaching him. "When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I do NOTHING OF MYSELF: but as my Father hath TAUGHT ME, I speak of those things. John 8:28 54. If I honor MYSELF: my honour is NOTHING. It is my Father that honoureth me, whom ye say is your God. John 8:54. Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me believeth not on me but on him who sent me. John 12:44 So someone else other than himself had sent him. And he drives this home when he says 'For I have not spoken of myself, but the Father which sent me, HE gave ME a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. )John 12:49. ME AND HE TWO SEPARATE INDIVIDUALS. Í am the true vine and my FATHER is the Husbandman.' John 15:1 But he made it clear that he keeps the commandments of another being other than himself when he said "If ye keep my commandments ye shall abide in my love just as I have kept my FATHER"S COMMANDMENTS and abide in HIS LOVE.. John 15:10 28. I came forth FROM the Father, am come into the world: again, I leave the world and GO TO THE FATHER. (John 16:28) The Father exists in a different location physically. John 20:17 what he said to Mary at the tomb about having not yet ascended back again up to God. False teaching: God can share his glory with nobody therefore man cannot become like God. The Truth "22. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given unto them, that they may be one, even as WE are one.' John :17:22. ''I in them and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one (so cannot become like God huh?) and that the world may know that THOU HAST SENT ME, and hast loved THEM as thou hast loved me. 1 Peter 5:6 'God exalts his saints by his own power. Jesus also taught Íf I speak only of myself, then my word is nothing, "" he dosen't speak for himself but represents another person in authority. Elsewhere he taught , MY Father is more greater than I.

@@germanslice I'm sorry but I'm confused, I believe God is one, in three persons, why are you speaking as if I'm against this?

​@@vadimdushuk The Father Son and Holy Ghost are a council of three distinct individual beings, also known as the Godhead. Or God for Short. The Father is an omniprsent being has a resurrected body with an omnipresent spirit that exists everywhere. The Son also has a resurrected body like onto the Father , and the Holy Ghost is a personage of Spirit. And that is why because they are separate beings is why the Son sits on the right hand of the Father in heaven, because they sit on two thrones in heaven ruling side by side. As the scriptures teach that the Son is raised up to dwell in glory with God the Father on his right hand. Sitting on The Right hand It a old term used in Royalty to describe a ruler who has been given equal power to the throne which is what God gave to his in Christ. The Prince of Peace the Mighty Counselor or in other words the Avocate to the Father sits upon his throne on the right hand side ruling next to the King of heaven and rules next to God the Father as his chosen Christ. For God choose Christ to sit next to him in power and glory making them equal joint heirs on the throne Rev: 3:21. You cannot become a heir to the throne if you are the same person. The throne has to be given by someone else who is already seated in authority and power on the throne.... That is why Rev 3:21 tells you how Christ obtained his throne from God the Father by overcoming all things in order to inherit it.. And after getting his throne from God the Father, Christ now tells his saints to do exactly the same as he had done to obtain his throne and to also overcome all things as he overcame. Paul already knew about this inheritance and told the saints to overcome all things so they may win for themselves a crown in heaven which he Paul was still striving to obtain which he would get in the resurrection of the dead...

same

This was beautifully written

So beautifully said!! I agree!

You planted the seed and opened the door for potential future conversations - so that’s pretty awesome. I met with a couple LDS missionaries a couple months ago and I felt it didn’t go too well either. I listened to them share the whole time and then when I started to share the gospel, they had to run. But I’m praying at least something stuck in their mind by the questions I was asking. I will pray for Joseph.

In the book of Revelation, it says, God's Word

The Bible is Holy Scriptures do not add other Books.

Oh, really? Tell us more! I'm always interested in hearing success stories.

It's Renee Marie Harrison doing, she's changed my life.

After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my daughter's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom.

I do know Renee M. Harrison, I also have even become successful....

Absolutely! I've heard stories of people who started with little to no knowledge but made it out victoriously thanks to Renee Marie Harrison.
