Did God lie in Psalm 82 when he called men that received his word gods, speaking it into existence, even if they weren't gods before? And Jesus Christ also when he used it as a defense against an accusation of blasphemy for saying he is the Son of God in John 10: 34-36? Or was Jesus Christ lying when he said that he and the Father are two separate men in John 8: 17-18? No, of course not. Nor was he lying when he said no other gods were made before or after God. For God is plural, encompassing many true gods, from multiple generations. That is the only way Hod and Jesus Christ aren't liars, destroying the Bible, and with it the Trinity. Is by having everything they say be true, still destroying the man made Trinity. You find the church that teaches this and you have the Jesus Christ of the Bible. All others teach a false Jesus Christ, and are an abomination to God. But I believe you already knew this, and have been intentionally bearing false witness.

They are good people & I believe most of them truly do want to know God’s truth. Let’s not give up on each other. When I was Mormon, God pursued my heart & never gave up on me, he showed me the truth because I was searching for it. Anyone truly searching for Gods truth, I promise you, God WILL show it to you, it may not be easy, but trust me, JESUS IS WORTH IT!😉 Thank you Jesus for this channel & the incredible work these men of God are doing to help bring home the lost.

Jayse Ruiz The religion of the Saints is not based on scripture. Its based on revelation. These men are trying to argue squares with circles. It is easy to confuse revealed religion with scripture because revealed religion uses scripture to show that revelation through the living Apostles and Prophets is consistent with the revelations to passed Apostles and Prophets. So the saints do not get caught up nor are motivated to use scripture to defend every misuse of scripture. The fundamentals of our faith are not geared to do that.

@@JoseLopez-il4se I do read very carefully (nice insinuation that I don't though; that's called poisoning the well). Do you? I frequently go back to the original languages when I read the Bible. I think you are getting hung up on the wrong word. Ginomai is defined as the following (emphasis added by me): "Strong's Exhaustive Concordance be brought to pass, happen A prolongation and middle voice form of a primary verb; to cause to be ("gen"-erate), i.e. (reflexively) to become (come into being), USED WITH GREAT LATITUTE (literal, FIGURATIVE, intensive, etc.) -- arise, be assembled, be(-come, -fall, -have self), be brought (to pass), (be) come (to pass), continue, be divided, draw, be ended, fall, be finished, follow, be found, be fulfilled, + God forbid, grow, happen, have, be kept, be made, be married, be ordained to be, partake, pass, be performed, be published, require, seem, be showed, X soon as it was, sound, be taken, be turned, use, wax, will, would, be wrought." You notice the emphasis on the LATITUDE of it's use and FIGURATIVE meaning so that it can often be a non-literal interpretation. John is rife with figurative speech, as is Jesus and God. John also does not have a birth story. Which is probably good because the other two birth stories contradict; but I digress. The holy spirit started leading him immediately AFTER his baptism (Matt 4:1 and the ending of Matt 3, Mark 1:10-12). A strong case could be made that THIS is when the Logos was manifest in the flesh. Further even if you want to take it as his birth, it means that whatever the Logos was before Jesus' actual birth wasn't Jesus per se. So you still have a problem. See I can reconcile it being a Unitarian, I don't believe you can being a Trinitarian without making non-sensical doctrines of man. And I don't say this to be insulting (I used to believe in the Trinity). But it's simply doesn't hold up even from a scriptural basis.

@@JoseLopez-il4se And to reiterate a comment I made on the main message board. People throw out these Bible verses thinking they have proven something when in actuality they usually do the opposite and expose further problems with the Trinity (or other things they think God is or wants): John 1:1 is horribly translated. The way Trinitarians understand it, Jesus appears to be the Father! Jason BeDuhn shows the theological dishonesty of most trinitarian translators in this passage. It could be translated a number of other ways that aren't contradictory. But let's look at how the Trinitarians view it to start: In the beginning was the Word (Jesus), and the Word (Jesus) was with God (The Father), and the Word (Jesus) was God (The Father?). First off, there is no definitive article on the last theos. Meaning something closer to the NW translation is probably one of the most accurate translations. Although something like, "the word was divine" would be more appropriate as it denotes a category. Secondly, there is no punctuation in Koine Greek. So any capitalization is translators choice and often bias. They capitalize Word to make it see like a person. They often do the same with "The Holy Spirit". See my notes on that in other comments. Further, Logos can also mean PLAN (or any other number of non-personage things). So if God's plan was with him in the beginning then became manifest through Jesus, that gives an entirely different connotation as well. Neither of which denote Jesus needing to actually be THE GOD (ho theos).

@@JoseLopez-il4se So fallacy of dismissal. Also, you did not read my replies. And I don't mean that to be rude. I am just to the point where instead of trying to argue with fallacious arguments I just label them and move on. I did provide alternative word and linguistic options. If you would like me to completely spell them out for you here are a few. The NW translation: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god. You don't even need to capitalize it to denote personhood by the way. An alternative could equally be: In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God and the word was divine. As I mentioned the word Logos can also mean plan. So you could translate it thusly: In the beginning was the plan, and the plan was with God and the plan was divine. The key thing to note is there is a linguistic difference between Ho Theos and simply Theos without the article. That is clearly distinguished here. It's a very nuanced passage.

I just talked to Mormons today and I brought up how the Bible is accurate since day 1, and that Joseph Smith wasn’t a prophet according to the Bible, and that Jesus himself claimed to be God. I should’ve gone more in depth about the identity of Jesus just like how he did, but I think I did good enough to plant that seed of doubt in their heart to find the true Christ. (They were surprised when I showed them that the Bible has been accurately preserved)

He didn’t explain what really happened in the councils… the entire Christian faith is based on it. 2 guys have a difference of opinion and Alexander won. Making his opinion the doctrine that would be forced upon all resulting in the idea of a Trinity God and murder of any who disagreed with Alexander’s opinion. But just because he won the argument doesn’t mean he was right? The Bible doesn’t teach the trinity idea. Nor did Christ ever refer to him self that way.

Let the word become quickened to you. Stop relying on someone else’s interpretation. Romans was a good place for me to start. I see the struggle in the young man. When you have a belief system it’s like a house of cards. Remove one and it’s likely the house will tumble.

What’s up Jeff! Bro I am learning so much from you in light of defending one’s faith. I appreciate you. Keep it up! My opinion as to why so many people misinterpret scripture is due to not clearly understanding the literary genre of the narrative. They seem to think that they can interpret at face-value (literal) what is written in a poetic form such as most Psalms or Jesus’ allegories/parables... and vice-versa. This is why they are more ably able to say, “Well I have a different interpretation than you.”

There has ever been one God to the covenant people of God, and that God is the Holy One of Israel, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Beside Him there are no other Gods and shall never be any other Gods for his people of the House of Israel. The Saints preach this now and will preach it ever more. What exists in the Eternal realm has nothing to do with the revealed word that the Holy One of Israel imparts unto his prophets and apostles on Earth. The argument against the Saints for believing that we can become gods and like God the Father and Jesus Christ is fodder. The belief bears no significance to the written and preached word of the Apostles and prophets, only so far as it gives us a bit of understanding of the Eternal realm which is totally independent to our mortal realm and the scriptures that mankind possesses on Earth.

For the gentleman at 19:15 referencing John 5:28-29, seemingly in defense of the Mormon position that salvation is by grace, after all you can do (works), I would point you to verse 24, spoken by Jesus only seconds before he said verses 28-29. Verse 24 very clearly articulated salvation is by grace through faith alone: “ I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.” You’re right sir, context matters. The context absolutely refutes the Mormon position however. Find Jesus, sir. The true Jesus of the Holy Bible, not the false Jesus of Mormonism.

I don't know of any Christian who would dispute that all these things are taught in the Bible. But the Bible doesn't teach that ANY of these things are required to receive salvation, other than faith. There's a big difference between saying these things are important and needful, and saying these things are required to be saved. Romans 10:9-10 makes it crystal clear: "That if thou shalt CONFESS WITH THY MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE IN THINE HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, THOU SHALT BE SAVED. For with the heart man believeth UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS; and with the mouth confession is made UNTO SALVATION." That's it! Period! End of story! He goes on to say that if anyone preaches a different pathway to salvation, that person has a false gospel. There's no need to over-complicate the message or try to reinvent the wheel. If you claim that all of these things are required by me to receive salvation, you are saying that what Christ did on my behalf wasn't sufficient ALONE, and grace is no longer a gift. If I have to do work or "do my part" to obtain a gift, it is no longer a gift, but a wage or reward for my good works. My good works are necessary to prove to OTHER MEN that I have salvation, but they're not required to receive that salvation FROM GOD. My good works are a result of having a new heart and flow FROM my salvation. Not to OBTAIN my salvation. My good works come after my salvation, but they are not required before my salvation.

Just because someone has the appearance of good doesn’t mean it’s good. When put to God’s standard of what makes a prophet, Joseph fails multiple times. It’s not about personal revelation.

True. The council of Nicea was completely corrupt.

DJ Adams I agree with 👇🏼. What are you talking about? Corrupt council? What exactly do you think the council of Nicea *was*? Every Mormon I’ve talked to has the same exact weird ass story of what they think the councils’ purposes were....and what they did there....corrupt? Lemme hear what it was you were told....I’m going to weirded out again after hearing yet another version, and some rambling about creeds...another weird definition that’s always said in this evil abhorrent way....which is also super duper weird-another term that you’ve been given a totally different definition of-what do Mormons mean when they go on and on about “all your creeds (are belong to us””

I Really respect and admire the young mormon guy as well as the older dude, too, at least they were willing to debate and discuss the doctrine. As I am a evangelical Christian, I'm with the evangelist talking but I do appreciate those guys openess and having to deal with is tough prophet of god.
