As Muslim, Jesus is our Apostel. He held much weight as well in Quran. We called him Rasul which on equal footing with Mohammed, but yeah Mohammed is the last Rasul.

Those who dont know Christ will come to him, and those who grew up forced to learn christ will betray him

Mormonism = FALSE DOCTRINE. Mormonism will be absorbed into the One World Religion. Ultimately, the New World Religion and Mormonism worship Lucifer. And please, the Book of Abraham? That book is soooooo proven false that the heresy is MORMONISM.

”Once Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, and he answered, “The kingdom of God is not coming with things that can be observed; nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There it is!’ For, in fact, the kingdom of God is among you.” ‭‭(Luke‬ ‭17‬:‭20‬-‭21‬). ”My brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but joy, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance; and let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing.” (James‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭4‬). ”“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell-and great was its fall!”” (Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭24‬-‭27). ”But be doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves. For if any are hearers of the word and not doers, they are like those who look at themselves in a mirror; for they look at themselves and, on going away, immediately forget what they were like. But those who look into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and persevere, being not hearers who forget but doers who act-they will be blessed in their doing.” ‭‭(James‬ ‭1‬:‭22‬-‭25‬). Nietzsche were simply wrong, speaking like the serpent in the garden; ”You do not need God.”

I believe it to be about a cycle of progressing that starts with matter at absolute chaos then goes to being organized them descends back into chaos. Then the world will be rolled up as a scroll which means that chaos will put on organization again. Just as our corruption will put on incorruption. Time rebegins and ends with each cycle. The timeless get added upon and begin a new cycle to raise others and be risen to a higher state glory.

You’ll never know the truth until you bust out of your bubble and research outside sources.

you have a knack for making a mortal think of a higher purpose in their being human.

Literally my favorite talk. Love this.

Thumbnail was made by me! I sold this piece on Etsy. Thanks for using it - would appreciate credit of course!

I want a video that reads the old school missionary discussions.

He didn't say that

My new head cannon is that Joshua would sing this song late nights while he's cleaning and loading his pistol cartridges. I always forget how amazing his character is😅

first comment

First of all, this is an extremely well-made and tightly-edited video. You obviously take pride in your work and make sure that every frame matches your vision, which is impressive. If you weren't doing videos on such a niche topic, I think you would get more views. I find your video compelling as a distillation of many of the aspects of LDS speculation that I place myself in opposition to. As you mention, current LDS leadership does not comment much on these topics, but they are very popular at the folk-mormon level (I mean that you encounter these ideas a lot when you talk to regular mormons). Although everything you cite is correct, I think it is important to distinguish the canon from everything else Joseph Smith and his successors have written. It is not canon to say that God the Father was once a man like us. It is not canon to have a neo-pagan view of a multiplicity of gods. It is not canon to attack the orthodox concept of the trinity. It is not canon to speak of a Heavenly Mother (unless you consider the Proclamations to be canon--so it's close). I don't disagree with any of these positions on logical grounds, but emphasizing these points drives deeper divisions between mormons and other christians. I think the LDS church leadership has had good reason to try to remove barriers to cooperation with other christians and has attempted to gain full acceptance within the wider christian community. In the modern era when christianity and religions writ-large are continually challenged and weakened by popular culture, I think it is more important to seek allies than to emphasize differences. But these questions do matter, and I wish the LDS leadership would spend a bit more time working out the specifics of what we should regard as official LDS theology. Maybe that would encourage them to publish new revelations. Looking forward to your future videos.

I don’t have strong feelings about this topic, but this argument doesn’t make sense to me. Guaranteed salvation can’t be what the second anointing promises because of these scriptures? What does it mean then? I agree there is a conflict here, but there have been plenty of conflicts and contradictions in church history and teachings over the years. Maybe all of this just isn’t literally true.

The audio was so poor!

This reminds me of season 2 Loki someway. Y'all haven't watched it I would recommend it.

Im curious: Are you a transhumanist?

"time is cyclical, it has to be, otherwise it would not be eternal" is false. Time doesn't have to be cyclical to be eternal, it can instead be infinite and aperiodic.

Great video! It looks like you have discovered the same similarities between Mormonism and Nietzsche's philosophy that I have. I was thinking I was the only one that saw these parallels. In my blog series below I compare the ideas of Joseph Smith and Nietzsche, which you might find interesting, see: emergentmormon.blogspot.com/2022/05/joseph-and-nietzsche-rough-stone.html?m=1

It's Barker, not baker.

LETS GOOOOO

Job well done, keep up the awesome videos!

"Everyone should be indistinguishable, average and have the same things" is absolutely not what communism (which is what i assume you are equating with "woke") stands for. The aim of communism is "To organise society in such a way that every member of it can develop and use all his capabilities and powers in complete freedom and without thereby infringing the basic conditions of this society." - Engels. You yourself say that this is how society should be in this video. Even if you absolutely despise Socialism I absolutely recommend you read what socialists themselves believe before making weird claims like this about it.

I appreciate you delving into how Graham "might" be Mormon based on hints in Honest Hearts but the base game flat out answers the question as well. When asking Caesar, the leader of Caesar's legion, about his rise to power, he says the following, "we met up with a Mormon missionary who already knew a bunch of dialects - Joshua Graham. He was supposed to teach me." At the Crimson Caravans HQ, there is a terminal where you can read up the business's proposal to make a New Canaan branch where it states, "The Mormons are warming up to the idea of a Crimson Caravan branch being established in New Canaan. Naturally, the taxes are such that we'll be at a severe disadvantage to their own caravans. The long-term solution is to overwhelm them with a flood of cheap NCR goods. I'll have to call in some favors with our contacts back in California, but the potential profit margins are worth it." Its not as up in the air as some people like to make seem. Graham is definitely LDS/Mormon without question. Love your video tho regardless. Great analysis and commentary.

This needs more attention 😅

Jesus is the only one true God 🙏

Complicated but good.

If the past series of events in time is infinite, we should have already reached our final state by now. Mormonism is false. Stop reading Sartre and look into Orthodox Christian theology for answers to life's great questions.

This moved me.

As a descendant of mormon pioneers, i made myself listen to this whole thing because i left the church 50 yrs ago, and i'm glad i did listen to the end because i appreciated the more esoteric discussion of mormon doctrine.

I think there is different types of “equality” and it’s not fair to lump them altogether and make the concept in general seem bad. We are not equal to God and never will be, of course. But we should treat EACH OTHER as equals because we are all equally under God and none of us are worthy to boast.

Thanks for the uploads.

This is true, and it's found in the scriptures, but I am not so sure that the church really teaches this anymore. I cringe when I hear somebody say "This is the way God created me." What Mormonism does not teach is the wider view, looking backward on pre-mortal life, or looking forward into the eternities. These are mysteries which God can reveal to you, but you can't teach them because nobody would believe them. You must find them for themself. The Kabbalist says that the purpose of life is to discover the purpose of life.

You think so similarly to me. I love your channel :)

I really respect the amount of effort and writing you put into this. However I feel that the idea that one cannot be considered "Christian" in the traditional sense (meaning little christ, as in imitator of christ.) completely misjudges what those in Jesus' time considered being a Christian to truly be, men corrupt the idea of what it means to follow Jesus and always will, but to say "No one is truly a Christian" is far too broad of a statement with very little clarification. The primary governing idea of being "Christian" is to follow Christ, the root of the term itself does not translate to "Christ" it means "Little Christ". As a child learns from their father, inherits his traits, yet lacks the ability to properly image him perfectly, so we are we in relation to God. To this end, the entire idea of being a Christian, is, was, and continues to be a recognition of the impossibility to be image God correctly, and therefore accepting his fully atoning sacrifice, and loving others out of love for him, growing more like him each day. Nietzsche has moments of clarity, but misunderstands many elements of what makes Christianity what it is. The distinction between Latter Day Saints and other groups such as Protestantism is not simply a checklist or a bigoted, exclusivity race, it is the recognition that the revelation about Jesus revealed in the LDS teachings diverge from the Jesus in the new testament so fundamentally, that they came from different places, and for different purposes, and so, they are different gods, one can pick up a stone, dub it "Christ" and claim "I believe in Christ.", such is the difference between Joseph Smith's Christ and the historical Christ. This is not an issue of exclusivity or bigotry or power, it is a categorical, historical opposition in regards to the identity of Jesus of Nazareth, and the issue of a "True" or "Fake" Christian is in the same vein as the previous point, yes, if a "Christian" is one who perfectly images Christ, there is only one Christian, but if a Christian is what the actual religious group itself has historically always been (at least in their roots), *even* if people in religious power have attempted to redefine it overtime, then anyone who recognizes they can not achieve the definition of "Christian" you and Nietzsche presented, yet still love God, believe in his resurrection and the person he claimed to be, they become Christian by rejecting Nietzche's Christianity and embracing the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, the true man and God. Just to cover my bases, (not implying you implied what I am about to state, to clarify.) The idea that we cannot truly know what Christ the man meant through his words is hearsay, it is not a matter of telephone, or subjective interpretation, but rather a historical study, the golden standard for historical record. I simply feel that in your (genuinely brilliant) writing, you have confused what Christ himself and the early church understood being a Christian to be, Vinland paints a beautiful picture of man's depravity (not calvinistic total depravity.), and how one who hasn't the capacity to sin is closer to the beauty of God himself, who in essence cannot sin. A beautiful philosophy that only serves to uphold what Christ sacrificed in order that we may be fully atoned for, LDS theology, as i'd be remissed to assume you're unfamiliar with (not meant as a sly joke, tone is hard!) disagrees with this notion, and claims Christ's sacrifice only existed to atone for you "after all you have done". This is a version of Christ, but it most certainly was not the historical Christ, whether one is religious or not. Hope none of that was too rude! I really don't mean to be, religious studies is just a hyperfixation of mine, nothing but love!

Where can i read the Pratt brothers works on spiritual energy?

I desperately want a full BOM audiobook with him as narrator
