great couple

Thank you Pastor Jeff for your respect. It really means so much to so many. I can only imagine what this world would be like if there were many more people like you. Again, thank you.

You're confusing the last-man-standing of the Jaredites to be synonymous with the last battle in Cumorah.

Hello Saints , great content. Make more videos like this. Why don't you invite Scott Christopher? That would also be a very good discussion.

Thank U Jeff

Jeff, thank you for always pointing out where we are similar in our beliefs and not criticizing. In the past 20 years, I have attended events with my friend at her church. Many times, they single out The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and criticize us at these events. She always apologizes, but I think, "Why can't you be like Jeff the Pastor and kindly explore where we are the same. You are a breath of fresh air. I hope other churches will realize that we as Christians need to band together against the evils of the world, not criticize and divide each other. Thank you!

You did a fantastic job of pointing out the obvious problems with the Book of Mormon, in a respectful way. And you kept a straight face. So double kudos to you!

Something to remember is that these works were never published for the Nephites and Lamanites. They never received this ither than through their prophets. These messages were stored up for us in our day.

Both men are well Studied and I admire their knowledge of the Scriptures, Tylor is a Great teacher, his heart is welded to the Words of God, both biblical, and Book of Mormon, he can recall all those scriptures. I just admire that in him, you can tell that he eats literally his scriptures, would that we all could be that way. Now the pastor he loves the Scriptures too, but you have to hand it to Tyler not only does he know the Book of Mormon but he knows the Bible also and he loves his scriptures. You can tell that, great job both of you but Tyler fantastic and you must have a photographic memory! I’ve really appreciate the go between, because it also teaches us that we can have conversations,thank you Both!

Having never been to Utah I like seeing the sights sites in SLC. Very beautiful place the valley and the city.

Pastor Jeff receive the doctrine of Christ with a humble heart and the visions and blessings of old WILL FOLLOW!!

You should include other religions in this like Scientology! I would love to hear their ideas about Christianity. :)

How does that sweet sweet Mormon ad rev taste? Delicious to the taste and very desirable is it?

That was awesome! Thank you, I want part 2 to this segment 😊

Use your influence and get a Christian Bookstore back in Utah, havn’t had one in a long time.

When you talk to people like Tyler Griffen, Pastor Jeff, how do you not understand that this is true scripture? Like you really think Joseph Smith just invented this richness? It’s actually ridiculous to think he did when you understand the richness of the text. What are you waiting for brother? Look at what is before you . The restitution of all things, the fullness of the everlasting gospel.

Loved watching you and Tyler discuss this together! I have not seen Tyler before this, but he seems to really know his stuff and seems to be a great teacher! I could see several bewildered faces as he explained things. It to good to understand the differences in our core doctrines to help us live together in more peace

Why would you read the book of moron that's not wise

Thank you for your patiently looking at similarities vs obvious differences. It lifts my heart, during deep seeded hatred growing towards LDS members, and as a result a protective / distrust towards fellow Christians on LDS part. I would live to visit with you heart to heart. My life long journey being 'born in' and expected to be perfect by the faith has been so heavy, that I have stepped back or aside, but have not 'stepped out' of 'the church', and really struggle. I have considered 'disconnecting' from Christian activity due to a betrayed and broken heart. Essentially, live good, (rightly) and look to clarity AFTER this earthly existance for whole / full understanding. Thank you Jeff for having a heart based in Christ, and His Unconditional Style of love / caring. You are refreshing, and spiritually attractive to my battered soul.

Thank you Pastor Jeff, this video was so thoughtful and kind. What a lovely message to share! I appreciate your wonderful attitude and Christlike consideration for our young missionaries 🥰

My favorite episode so far! Tyler is incredible and brings the Spirit to the conversation. Jeff shows respect and reverence as he learned more about the Book of Mormon. Beautiful!

Brigham Young was a racist, (false prophet).

Numerous LDS prophets and apostles (including Orson Pratt, Oliver Cowdery, Marion Romney, Joseph Fielding Smith, and more) have said the Hill Cumorah in NY is where the battle occurred. Plus, the First Presidency issued a letter in 1990 stating that the church's official position is that the battle took place at the Hill Cumorah in NY. The claim that there is another Hill Cumorah in Mesoamerica is an attempt to explain away the lack of evidence in NY.

Wow. Tyler Griffin❤

interesting but still a false religion

Wow, the mental gymnastics that the professor purposely purports. As though his gymnastics are rational and normal. And it is so obviously not normal. Life member here and this guy is just embarrassing and can hardly look the pastor in the eye. I guess when you try and be so acquiescing and keep a silly happy smile on your face then one thinks they can get away with irrationality and absurdity . And both skip over the fact that the revision "...are among the ancestors of the American Indian" contradicts The canonical scripture quoting Moroni ; "... giving an account of the former inhabitants of this continent, and the source from whence they sprang. " The self-authorized pastor really gave the professor so much leeway.

So well done, loved it!!

Best discussion yet. You two compliment each other very well.

When I went through the temple for the first time I was a little shell shocked at everything. I wasn’t sure if I was converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ anymore. And I remembered something that Joseph Smith had said and that I had read. He stated that the devil can appear as an angel of Glory (as he most likely did with Eve.) Joseph taught that you can extend your hand for a handshake to that angel. If it is a resurrected angel, the angel will shake your hand, if it’s not a resurrected angel the angel will look at you, and if it’s a devil, it will try to shake your hand to deceive you but it won’t have a body so it won’t be capable. I realized that if I met an angel of Glory I would use my temple experience (this story was not in the temple) as a tool to discern if this angel was of God or not and that’s when I realized I was completely converted to my temple experience. I imagine if you continue to dive into the Book of Mormon enough you will have a similar realization. The Book of Mormon is a continuation of the word of God and it cannot be denied by any Christian that searches for the Word of God in humility and Honesty. Good luck on the path.

My mans getting baptized.

The book of Mormon calls the stones"interpreters" and only after the book of Mormon was published did they get equated as the urim and thummin of the Bible

This guy is the Mormon Jordan Peterson 😂

Please, please discuss Ether with Tyler Griffin!! The brother of Jared's experience w/ God is sacred and extremely symbolic. Tyler will do it justice.

An entire pageant was dedicated to the Hill Cumorah. This seems to be a classic case of gas lighting if the church now says that the Hill was not in the North East US. I guess with the popularity of the internet, the advancement in science in DNA and archeology, SLC has to say something about the lack of artifacts in the mounds and the necessity to end the pageant and the questions that go with trying to explain where the "gold plates" were dug up and hid back again.

This has been my favorite Hello Saints so far! Thank so much to both of you for all your scriptural insights! I learned so much. It's such a good feeling and feels refreshing to understand both of your angles. You were good examples of having a spirit of love with each other! That's what Jesus Christ wants for all of us to have. Thank you again so much for doing this! Amazing!

Cumorah and Qumran share a common Hebrew root. Both are repositories of sacred records. I personally believe the events happened in both meso- and north America (based on my reading of the Menintah records), and considering that Nibley stated that Lehi and Hebrews in general tended to wander and name new areas after old areas they knew elsewhere. We might give New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia as examples in our more modern times. The river Sidon would be an example in their time.

Great dialog. Love it.

Found this very interesting and worth keeping an open mind.

we believe, what shall we do........go ye therefore until all the nations.......

I think what would be even more fascinating would be for a Christian pastor to read the New Testament with a BYU professor, or Mormon theology, teacher, because the two perspectives are worlds apart. I was raised LDS, latter-day, saint, and stayed in the Mormon church for 50 years before I read the New Testament in a modern translation, and the scales fell from my eyes. I saw the problems with Mormon theology. Eventually, I left the Mormon church, and consider myself now a Christian following Jesus Christ.

Problem with a lot of these descriptions that are given is that he is directly contradicting what past prophets have said.

Great scripture study. I wish I had him as by Book of Mormon professor when I went to BYU. If you ever want to interview someone about Church History, I'd reach out to Tom Pettit (KZbin Channel: Stories of the Restoration)

I really commend brother Tyler for his knowledge of the bible but I wish he could ask the Lord to really understand Doctrine and Covenants section 32, and Articles of Faith no 10 then kneel and ask for clarity with real intent and God will testify to him that there is only one Hill Cumora.

WONDERFUL session, Pastor Jeff. Thank you. This is one of the best ways to help understand and discover the miracle that is The Book of Mormon.

Thank You Pastor Jeff for having the courage to read the Book of Mormon. Many of our Christian friends will not do that, calling the Book a Book of the Devil without taking the time to read it. I Love that you have invited Dr. Griffin to join you to get a clearer Latter-Day Saint perspective. We are in the Deep South (Alabama) and would love to have an interfaith dialog with our Loving Christian friends ***Dale***

This was worth my time. Thank you! I can't wait for the next one haha : )

Is the Hill Cumorah in New York? I don't fully know, none of us know. It just so happens a place Joseph Smith was familiar with happens to be in the book?! But what has been found to date doesn't match his stories so they had to come up with other stories to cover up the bigger story. But we could find out the truth rather easily. The one thing biblical scholars do in Israel is archeology to find out more about history. Mormons don't do that. The Church owns the land and refuses to do any excavation to find out more about their history. Why? Because they know it's all pure rubbish.

Pastor Jeff, it was a pleasure listening to this episode. The message of the Book of Mormon is the same for all of Christianity and the people of this world: "Come unto Christ and be perfected in HIm and deny yourself of all ungodliness" [Moroni 10: 32]. This is what the Old and New Testaments are saying if we have eyes to see and ears to hear. It is not organized religion that saves us it is our godly and divine relationships with God our neighbor and ourselves that will bring us back home to Father and Christ!
