President Nelson Interview with Brazil National TV News Anchor

Following a devotional at the Anhembi Convention Center in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Sunday, September 1, 2019 in front of more than 37,000 people, Russell M. Nelson, President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was interviewed by Brazil national Band TV news anchor Isabel Tacaki. Here is the complete interview.

[@PhilipJORourkeLDS]

What a fabulous interview. President Nelson is a quarter of a century older than me, yet, he is so much stronger physically and mentally.

[@JeffSmith03]

Sweet voice from Brazil, great questions and great answers

[@bryantbarber7225]

I love President Nelson's answers; He directly answers the questions that are asked; they are informative; they are completely consistent with the correct principles taught in the scriptures; they are encouraging; he projects the Lord's love for all of God's children. (Bryant Barber)

And to our father in Heaven for loving his children here on earth! so much, so that they have, and continue to provide for all our needs! Especially in these latter days.

Russell M. Nelson is a prophet of God! I love him, this church, My Father in Heaven, My Savior and the true peace and joy that I receive by choosing to accept their will!!

[@Ryanhelpmeunderstand]

Why does he have so much energy at such an old age? Because he does not stress, fear, or worry! Stress is the number one killer of humankind! The joy, peace and sustaining flow which one is placed in comes by abiding in Christ (loving Him and obeying his words).

[@shilohslullabies6199]

Our morals have been derived from God and religion for centuries. Even if people do not identify with a religion - the greatest morals, laws, principles, and traditions that people have been taught, practice, and have gratitude for were and continue to be founded on religious values and outline our fundamental beliefs of right or wrong even if people are not conscious of it or are unwilling to acknowledge it.

[@longnamenocansayy]

i would also like to bear my testimony that i know the mormon church is a cult. i know that mormonism leaves a trail of oppressed souls where ever it goes. i know the history of mormonism is filled with murder and theft, as in mountain meadows massacre. i know mormons are ashamed of their history, and will do anything to cover up. as when e t benson did business with mark hoffman, the man who blew up people in salt lake city, in an effort to cover up the tracks leading to his forgeries. i have a testimony that if e t benson was a prophet of god he would not have done business with a murder/forger, and he would not have tried to hide hisotrical documents. i would also like to bear witness that the only spirit mormons ever feel comes froma bottle of valium, and utah women consume anti depressants by the gallon. amen

longnamenocansayy That’s interesting ! I grew up the juvenile delinquent and bad boy of the church ! Mom was LDS Dad southern baptist Grandma catholic !!!! Even when I was lost or doing bad things I was always loved and respected and not judged !!! If the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is a cult I’m Elvis Presley !!! I was the prodigal son of church I have studied church my whole life !!!! I’d know if it was a cult or of the devil , it’s absolutely not !!!’ There are kooks in every church !!! But to try and smear a church based on individual behaviors isn’t just incorrect, it’s a spirit of contention !’ I have nothing to prove by lying about this church !!!! These are good people !!!

5:26 "The greatest hope comes to people when they have something to look forward to. We all have challenges in life-great disappointments, or sickness, or injuries, maybe even deaths in the family. When one has an eternal perspective and he knows that there’s life after death, that the resurrection is real, that there are degrees of glory on the other side of this mortal life, then one can endure these challenges with a little more hope and great expectations." -President Russell M. Nelson

[@StompMom5]

She has such an adorable accent 😊. I love how Nelson is so mentally sharp and easily answers those questions.

[@prism9712]

I wonder how much she understood English. When she asked the initial question about mormons and the prophet answered that it was an epithet originally, and they prefer to use the name the Lord gave to them, namely Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, in one of her follow up questions she again used the term "mormon" without batting an eye. So I think she was just asking the prepared questions, but these questions were not necessarily friendly, and in fact one of them was really challenging near the end when she asked about pope and himself... and he treaded on water to answer how the pope prays for him and he prays for the pope, but there are theological differences. He rightly focuses on the things they have in COMMON. He is a uniter. He is a peacemaker, and he is doing a ton of good in the world obviously.

[@prism9712]

with all of the divisiveness that exists in the world today, how refreshing to hear this prophet talk of unity, peacemaking, and LOVE.

Pres. Nelson is a great man!

[@kingloz36]

I disagree with Pres Nelson when he said that people without a belief in god dont know right from wrong. I know thats not true, I am an ex-atheist now mormon so I can promise you thats not true, I had values/morals beforehand and with the church those values have been emphasized or i have gained more values.

[@Inzpectre]

I absolutely believe you! But what i think he meant, is that if religion was non existant, we would stop knowing it. Of course, everyone wouldnt just suddenly turn evil, no. As long as this religion exists, we can, and will know! I am also an ex atheist, i used to pray, to never get answers, because i doubted and did not expect an answer. And i was therefore easily manipulated by the second voice, which is satan. He made me think it was all just a comforting lie, but a painful truth is almost always better. And that painful truth, was that i had committed many sins, and my pride was beyond what i understood. But as life got tough, i became humble again, and started to be more open minded. And from there, everything changed. I prayed, for the first time in my life, to know him, and i did. I got this undescribeable feeling of comfort and peace in me, and it was wonderful. Sorry that i went so off topic, just wanted to share this with you. It is truly amazing, and so unreal, yet completely REAL, how wonderful the lord and his spirit is.

[@coreymcleod2899]

I agree that there are morals and values in every belief, and non-belief, system, and every walk of life. I think President Nelson was explaining that everything good, uplifting, and wholesome comes from Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Someone has to define right and wrong, good and bad. From there, it's our choice whether or not we want to follow 🙂👍

I'd ask President Nelson what spiritual ballast is applied to protect the church against those evil spirits who try to be part of the flock of the Heavenly Father ,but we do know are only making use of its name to take advantage of it.He must remember there´s no room in the kingdom of God for the hopeless sinner who would hurt all mankind just to save his own...( "For many be called,but few chosen" Matthew 20:16)

[@Silarias]

The Lord taught about wolves in sheep's clothing, and then taught by their fruits you would know them. If they're doing bad things, we can discern them by the Holy Spirit.

[@sanaltmr]

I was loving hearing the president's words until he said it was the enemies of the church who promoted the nickname Mormon and that it was negative. But during President Monson's administration, the church spent millions of dollars to publicize the church through this "nickname." I myself invited nonmember friends to watch the movie "Meet The Mormons" and also shared videos of people who told their stories and at the end said, "I'm a journalist, writer, housewife and I'm a Mormon." I support the pres. Russell M. Nelson as president of the church, but this subject bothers me a lot.

[@rb-xz7xl]

And the catholic church use to be the great whore of the earth until he met with the pope. Similarly, everything use to be about the prophet Joseph but now it's Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. It's called a "re-brand" because the old product isn't selling anymore. Wake-up people!

[@wheelercreek]

He was talking about originally - where the name came from. It was back in the days of Joseph Smith that enemies (or at least unfriendly outsiders) called us by that name. Over the years it stuck, until it became something we didn't pay much attention to. He's trying to change that. The point of the "I'm a Mormon" campaign wasn't to draw attention to the nickname, or to give it validity.. but rather to show people that we're just normal everyday people.

[@RobbieIsbell]

Why should it bother you? I clearly remember the campaign. But as a member of the church for 23 years, I have always felt that it is proper to call ourselves "Latter-day Saints." The campaign wasn't wrong in trying to "clean" up the name, but seriously...It always has been a sigma with the name, "Mormon."

[@sanaltmr]

@@RobbieIsbell because I think it's his opinion.

[@RobbieIsbell]

@@sanaltmr well, if you read many apostles talks from the 1800s to now, many has always spoken and directed the members to use the full name. It was never President Nelson's opinion. D&C 114 has clearly stated that is what the Church should always be called as. I agree with President Nelson that perhaps it is time to move on from that because it is an international church, but the nickname will not go away and I am pretty sure the Prophet is aware of that. But with effort, we can do better to represent the Church as a full name. The name, Mormon, depending on whose perspective it comes from can either be bad or good.
