Radio Free Mormon: 007: Have LDS Apostles Seen Jesus? 

I was led to believe this and did so with all my heart. On my mission I taught people that our prophet speaks with god face to face, just like I was speaking to them.

In 1990 while on my mission to the England London South Mission, Elder Oaks came and spoke with us. In the concluding minutes of the meeting we were allowed to ask questions of Elder Oaks. Elder Oaks made a ground rule that if a question that was asked was not allowed he would say "Code Red". The questions began and one of the Elder Missionaries got up and asked a questions. He asked "Have you ever seen Jesus Christ?". Elder Oaks quickly responded "Code Red" and said nothing more on the subject. I remember looking at my companion with a holy crap expression, let alone that the question was asked, but that also it was not answered.

I was born into the LDS Church ninety years ago. I was the typical brain washed Mormon. By the grace of God , by the time I was twenty two, married and a mother, the scales fell from my eyes. I understood that I was to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He laid His life down for me, He gave me eternal life and wrote my name in The Lamb's Book of Life. The Mormon Church taught a damnable doctrine. " The grand reason of the burst of public sentiment in anathema upon Christ and His disciples, CAUSING HIS Crucifixion, was evidently based on polygamy, .. A belief in the doctrine of a plurality of wives caused the persecution of Jesus, and His followers. We might also think they were "Mormons". (Journal of Discourses, vol.1, pages 345-346. How can a person stay in a church that believes that Jesus was crucified because He believed in plural marriage? No one can read the history of the Mormon Church and remain in it. I pray each day for my Mormon relatives and friends.

I remember reading when David Oman McKay was asked by the media if he has seen Jesus said replied "No". Asked if he wanted to see Jesus, replied, "No", When asked, why not?, he responded, "If I saw Jesus, it would mean I could no longer walk by faith, but by true knowledge. In essence saying he would have to be perfect. (Which is impossible).

The short, short, version: No, they haven't.

I've repeatedly heard in their testimonies re seeing Christ, " it is far TO SACRED TO SHARE"... forgetting entirely that SEEING GOD IS A PREREQUISITE TO BEING AN APOSTLE. Joseph told his "CALLED" apostles to realize they MUST wear out their lives serving as missionaries AND SEEKING THE ANNOINTING OF CHRIST to truly be called His apostles... to testify of him.

I remember some Easter....soecial where Bednar and Runland (?) Stood in front of a holy site and proclaimed they bare the same witness as the og apostles. So messed up. They know what they're doing. The message only Kwaku is spreading, central to Mormonism, is all that old stuff still happens: the tongues, the visions, the healings. Meanwhile the Brwthren are like miracles DO happen. I found my keys!!!

I used to be a true believer. Then l woke up big time. It was painful. It was worth everything to find the True Biblical Jesus. 🙏❤ Come out of her!

Like your intro music - former Coastie! Now to watch - a year later, but always good!

So when a leader says that he knows “by experiences to sacred to relate”, he really means that he voted with the majority - maybe when the decision was yet to be made !

20:32 Joseph F. Smith: it is not permissible for [apostles] to say they simply 'believe' [in Christ] Bruce R. McConkie: *writes a hymn 'I believe in Christ'*

At 5' 8" tall, the janitor to the Holy of Holies, Yul B. Scrubbins, died on Jan 19, 2003 in Salt Lake City, UT. He had the cleanest feet in town. May he rest in Peace.

"...for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." Revelation 19:10

We were led to believe in the 70s that G.A's, especially apostles had literally seen Christ face to face. We learn today that is a lie.

I heard Peter Paul and Mary performed a concert in SLC once. Peter: "I am not an apostle." Paul: "I am not an apostle." Mary: "And I am not a virgin." To which the presumably Mormon audience went wild.

Elder Bednar was asked this by my companion while at a mission conference in Puebla, Mexico. His answer was so dumb looking back😂 all he did was testify that “he knew” that he lived as a “special witness of Christ”…. Then he asked the Elder “how about that for your answer?” Elder berdnardo it should be more like

Hugh Brown's explanation of the apostolic charge literally admits that they "lie for the Lord" if they need to.

Anyone who sees Christ would not be afraid to boldly tell it.

The Hinckley quote is not quite right. In that paragraph he's talking about members of the Church being witnesses by the Holy Ghost, not the apostles. I was pretty bummed when I searched the quote and I found that it wasn't what RFM said.

Short answer: NO. And they NEVER will.

Yes how can they bear witness to some one they have not seen

The very foundation of the Church is based on relating the story of Joseph seeing the Savior. Why would it be too “sacred” for modern prophets to share their personal stories of seeing Christ?

How are witnesses that members of the church receive from the Holy Ghost (about Jesus the Christ) different from those witnesses the Apostles receive? I would say it would be the same witness. Then logic follows that there are many special witnesses!

No divine priesthood authority, no personal visitation of Christ, and no prophetic gifts. Just 15 old white, upper middle class, heterosexual men from Utah. the 'blind' leading the blind.

They only have one job and they can’t even do that lol

Regardless of whether they have or have not seen Jesus, they are being DECEPTIVE. Anyone who believes Jesus would choose liars to be his special witnesses, needs to rebuild their faith on the true Jesus.

There is ONE apostle's name on each gate of the Heavenly City in the Book of Revelation, along with the name of ONE of the sons of Israel. Judas was replaced. After that, there were no more apostolic elections/choosings. Paul had congregational "apostles" (sent out ones) in his mission, but Paul's apostleship was in question in the New Testament and the Early Church. Paul even had to refer to himself as an apostle "born out of season" in order to field the claim that he, too, was an apostle. There were ONLY 12 Apostles in an Early Church that fully expected Jesus to return in their lifetimes. There were NOT 12 perpetual OFFICES of Apostle.

Pearls before swine: when a faithful believing Mormon asks the question, "have you met Jesus?", what these "apostles" are saying to the faithful Mormons who are wondering is, "you are swine."

Wendy Neilson has read (and must believe) in the book Visions of Glory!!!! The whole Jesus has already come to secret meetings attended by the brothern - that’s RIGHT FROM THE BOOK 🤦🏻‍♀️

maybe "so many people fall away after seeing Jesus" because He tells them the Mormon church isn't right

My understanding seeing Jesus Christ applies when he come down to earth for all to witness otherwise only sinless can see the savior it's not possible the chosen disciples did his preaching when he was crucified God's plan to save us all ..this my opinion no one is worthy to see the Savior even God the father whom Joesph Smith has claimed according to the Bible without Joesph Smith correction I was born Mormon LDS Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints as it's known today known as the only true church on earth...I've come to my own conclusion listening to history of the church and many changes from Joesph Smith to the present leader/President

Dishonesty is a form of violence (since it takes away people's choices). You wanna know who else speaks to the public in a way that gives a different message to insiders than to a general audience? ... yeah ... ... Him.

No

Have Mormon leaders seen Jesus Christ? Jesus Christ, what a silly question! Only hopelessly deluded Mormons could answer that question in the affirmative. Beam me up, Scotty.

Good analysis. Originally, they were not called "apostles" in 1835. Read the D&C (not the chapter headers) very carefully. The only ones who the Lord specifically called apostles by name were Joseph Smith, Oliver Cowdery, and David Whitmer. Oliver Cowdery said "Your ordination is not complete until the Savior has laid His hands on you." I would presume that then, and only then, could they be considered true apostles, but until that point there were merely disciples in "The Quorum of the Twelve". A special witness of the Name of Christ is not a degrade, (Section 107) A special witness of the Name of Christ means that one has partaken of the nature of Christ. This is something people don't know about until they have experienced it for themselves, and even then it is difficult to explain. Dallin H. Oaks couldn't be more wrong about this. You don't have to be a lifelong member of the church and render service to the church in order to receive the Second Comforter. Any person who follows the Doctrine of Christ as given in 2 Nephi 31,32 and 3 Nephi 11, who receives the baptism of fire and the Holy Ghost, and continues in faith, living by constant revelation from the Lord, will eventually find themselves in His Presence, witness the marks in His hands and His feel, and the wound in His side, and will receive the testimony of Jesus that he or she has their calling and election made sure. Many people besides Denver Snuffer has seen the Savior, people both in and out of Denver's movement. There are numerous books, blogs, and personal testimonies. The stated purpose of the D&C and the restoration, as stated in Section 1 is that "every man might speak in the name of the Lord". The people I know who have received this witness have been public in their testimonies, though not blatantly so. I have heard Tom Phillips' interview with John Dehlin. Tom was taught incorrectly about the Second Anointing and the Second Comforter. The former is the public experience in the temple, and the latter is the private experience with the Lord, Himself. Once the person has received the private experience, the public experience is superfluous.

Too many adds

Maybe Lucifer?

Has anyone ever looked at the photo closely. Heads don’t fit the bodies. Photoshopped???

The LDS apostles will lead you to think they have 😂

No they can’t, the Lord was in the Americas , said that the Gentiles will never hear his voice

Peter denied knowing the Lord even after his ministry with him. This is a big nothingburger.
