@@georgebauerschmidt5289 JESUS is our firstborn, our elder brother. He is and was JEHOVAH of the Old Testament. It was by Him and through Him and of Him the worlds are and were created. We pray to the Father through Him and by His Name. It was because of Him, our Heavenly Father's plan for the happiness of all His children (us) is possible and that is through His gospel. There are saving ordinances in His gospel first of which is baptism for the remission of sins. But before that ordinance you need to have faith in Him JESUS CHRIST and repent. After baptism, laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost John 3:3-5. About the Temple yes Isrealites were Temple worshiping people Old Testament supports that ideaology like Moses and the tabernacle and the Isrealites, Solomons Temple and so forth. In our Saviours time He dismissed the vendors because they were turning the holy site of the Temple into a market place. Some of the saving ordinances of the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST like family sealing and others are only performed in the Temple His Holy House and no where else. After we do all these things and endure to the end..we can be exalted, receive the fullness of joy and live in the eternities. That's what our loving Heavenly Father and His Son JESUS CHRIST wants us to obtain. And about the Book of Mormon go and search Isaiah 29:11-12, Ezekiel 37:15-20, Revelation 14:6.. Tribe of Judah and Joseph are these two records Holy Bible and The Book of Mormon. And they both support each other and point out to the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST. All of these things were revealed through Prophet Joseph Smith.

While I agree with you... To be fair... The Bible has been altered, added to, and has had many things removed many times over. Much of the Bible is also based on much older source material from Egypt and Sumeria.

[@TheRealTrucido]

@@nn5410 If you actually look into the accuracy of the Bible ie the translations to English from the originals, they are 99.7% accurate with minor changes to grammar rather than anything substantive. The message does not change. "Much of the Bible is based on material from egypt / sumeria" - This is a conspiracy theory with no basis. Like saying Jesus was copied from Osiris or something, totally bull made up tinfoil hat nonsense. Excerpt from GotQuetsions on the accuracy of the Bible: Most people have asked, or at least wondered, something to the effect of, “How do we know the guys who wrote the Bible just didn’t make all that stuff up?” Such questions dealing with the Bible’s trustworthiness and accuracy should be answered honestly and clearly. The approach to assessing whether the Bible is accurate in what it reports is the same used to evaluate any other historical book. The legal/forensic method and its principles are employed to judge the validity of historical texts and whether the reported testimony is factual. There are three primary tests historians use within the forensic method: First is the bibliographical test. This examines the reliability of the available manuscripts and the time that elapsed between the events in question and their recording. When applied to the New Testament, literally no other ancient text measures up. The New Testament has tens of thousands of ancient manuscripts that can be extensively compared to each other; plus, those manuscripts have the earliest dating to its recorded events of any historical book. In other words, the books of the New Testament were written very soon after the events they describe, leaving no room for legend to creep in. In fact, Paul cites more than 500 eyewitnesses to the risen Christ, “most of whom are still living”-meaning that his readers were free to check out the truth for themselves and confirm the accuracy of what he wrote. Another proof of the New Testament’s early dating exists in the writings of early Christian leaders such as Clement (c. AD 95), Ignatius (c. AD 107), Polycarp (c. AD 110), Justin Martyr (c. AD 133), and others. Historians have determined that the entire New Testament could be completely reconstructed from citations from the early church fathers, with the exception of 27 verses, most of which come from 3 John. The second test used by historians to assess the accuracy of ancient texts, including the Bible, is the internal evidence test. This test concerns itself with whether there are multiple attestations of the events in question and whether those accounts are free of contradictions (i.e., do they match?). With respect to the New Testament, multiple eyewitness accounts exist that all tell the same story. As for contradictions or manuscript variants, the overwhelming majority of biblical variants are inconsequential, consisting of spelling and numerical differences, sentence word order changes, etc. This leads scholars such as Neil Lightfoot to say, “Practically all of the variations found among the manuscripts do not affect our present text. Although a few textual problems remain, these are explained in the footnotes of most recent translations” (How We Got the Bible, Baker, 2003, p. 104). The third and final historiographical test for accuracy is the external evidence test, which asks if evidence outside the document in question corroborates the text. In the case of both the Old and New Testament, countless archaeological discoveries validate the historicity of the Bible. In addition, works such as Robert Van Voorst’s Jesus Outside the New Testament chronicle what non-biblical writers had to say about Jesus. To sum up, using historians’ three key tests from the forensic/legal method for validating the trustworthiness of an ancient text, no other work from ancient history comes close to matching the reliability and accuracy of the Bible.

Second, in the Gospel of Luke, Adam is also called "son of God" hence in 1st Corinthians 15:45 Jesus is called "the last Adam". The differences between the old son of God and what we call the Son of God are obvious to everyone who has elementary knowledge of the Christian theology - but the differences do not negate the fact that Jesus was a human being. Paul also, in his famous sermon in Athens, acknowledged that every human being is a son of God, for God "is not far from any one of us. For in him we live and move and exist. As some of your[d] own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’" (Acts 17: 27-29). The offsprings of God, the creatures that were made in his image and likeness, the sons and daughters of God, die as mere mortals due to sin, but can still be elevated in the state which God conceived for them in his mind - which is the state of the Christ. This is the anthropology of the Eastern Church. For more information, look for the term "theosis".

But he rebelled against God and was cast out. And ⅓ of our brothers and sisters followed him! It's not hard to understand and follow. So yes, Lucifer IS the spiritual brother of Jesus. He is the spiritual brother of us all. We chose to follow God, all of us who came here and received bodies.

So, to qualify for this limited time offer of Godhood, you must: 1. Be a Mormon. Other good folks get a lesser prize, i.e., a "Heaven" where God isn't (i.e. Hell). 2. Be a really good Mormon, who tithes 10%, goes on a mission, does good works, and performs baptisms and marriages for the dead. Oh, and wears white shirts to church, wears special Mormon underwear (available ONLY from the COJCOLDS), and abstains from tea, coffee, and hot caffeinated beverages. And Coca-cola. But lemon-lime soda is okay. Those failing get a Lesser "Heaven" where Jesus visits but God doesn't. 3. Be married to a person who did all of the things in Qualification #2, above. Better still, married for time to one, and for eternity to many (if male). Those missing this step get the Good Heaven, where God is, but do not qualify for The Grand Prize of Ultimate Deity. 4. Be among the best at being married holy people who are married to married holy people. Those missing this step get extra stuff in the 3rd heaven, but not the Grand Prize. 5. Be male (females only get to be Goddesses/Wives, who, along with sister wives, make spirit-babies for the God to whom they are married). So, fortunately, only a tiny tiny percentage of Mormons would hypothetically WIN THE GRAND PRIZE and become Gods. Otherwise, this would be like some sort of celestial pyramid scheme...

[@stephanterblanche4597]

True, we will never become part of the Trinity, or become creator gods, or out-do God in our divinity. But the Bible clearly states, the aim of the Christian life and salvation, is partaking in the Divine Nature, or Theosis. 2 Peter 1:3-4, which states that God’s “divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness” through the knowledge of God, who called us by His own glory and goodness. Through these things, He has given us His great promises so that we “may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.", is one of many texts that mentions the union that becomes a Christian's inheritance as they work out their salvation in fear and trembling. Theosis is, becoming through grace, what God is by nature. We can never know or experience God's essense, but we can know and experience Him through his energies. We are created in his image and his likeness. The fall has obliterated the likeness, but the image, has remained, sadly damaged and imperfect. But it is there. Christ has come to restore both. I always explain it by referring to my dog, and an imagnary pet snail. Let"s face it, there is no way the pet snail and I will ever be able to have a truly meaningful and mutually reciprocal relationship. It may be interesting to have a pet snail, it may provide same distraction and amusement. But what the snail thinks of me, will forever remain a mystery. Unlike my dog, which entered my life when he was six years old - a completelyi different story. He recognises my voice, he shows excitement when he sees me, when we play, when we go on outings. He has developed cognitively and socially over time and understands many words, reads my actions, has his own likes and dislikes, socialises with people, and animals. My dog shows joy, sadness, anger, and will even react when he senses danger. My dog even has a sense of right and wrong. The list goes on, and on, and on. The point is, through our close relationdhip, over many years, my dog has become more 'human' than he would have, had dogs never been domesticated. How, much more then, can God elevate us, from our fallen state, and declare that we are his children. Certainly there is much more to be said about Theosis, than merely “growing in faith and good works,” progressing in sanctification or mortifying sin. Those are indeed excellent enterprises, but not ends in themselves. They are means employed toward a greater end. St. Paul is outlining this compelling, inspiring description of our identity in Christ, indeed showing us what total participation in Christ actually is. Ephesians 1 is a description of theosis. In other verses in Ephesians, St. Paul continues: we are to “be filled with all the fullness of God” (3:19) and to attain to “the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ” (4:13). We are to “grow up in all things into Him who is the head-Christ” (4:15). Again, this describes the process of being deified by grace, acquiring the fullness of Christ.

Cults are taught that they need to keep control of the conversation and they are the only ones that have the correct answers. Sam , Avery and people like me understand this so we have the tendency to control the conversation because if you lose control then the conversation goes down a rabbit hole. It's called circular thinking and cults are masters of it. If you do not deal with this on a day to day basis this is difficult to understand and looks very crass but there's an art to it. Imagine if you had a hundred Mormons to deal with on a day to day basis and you heard the same stuff over and over again , after awhile it would get old because they don't have an open mind to explore other possibilities and they're told over and over they're the only ones that have the right answer.

Given all the power of creation, and only one mind, the only things that would function properly is what you observe. And this isn’t even contributing to if you decide to give your creations their own will. 😅 Any GM reading would be nodding their head right now- the disruptive players, the lazy ones, etc. you say “You can do anything you want” and they go “cool, imma burn it all down” and then you have to clarify or cast them out without realizing that your plans kept in account that everyone would work together so you have to replace that guy and the next one is worse than the first. 😂 I don’t envy God in the slightest having to deal with our nonsense while creating this good world (and the next). I don’t want His job, He’s doing a excellent work better than I ever could. I don’t see why He would give us such a gift without the infinite wisdom with it to make it all work smoothly.

You probably live in the United States or a free part of the world where being a Christian is never challenged but that is going to change very soon. These two groups have a small group of men who herd them around telling them what to think, say, how to act, live and what to wear that is high control and if they leave the group it's very severe with shunning ,also high control. These men tell them anything they want and they are discouraged from searching outside their group. These two groups also started in the 19th century and produced extra biblical texts claiming they are revelations from their god. It's sola scriptura! As for Jesus being eternal, Jesus said to the Pharisees you search the scriptures and in them you think you have life but they are what speak of me and yet you're unwilling to come to me so you may have life, John 5:39,40. Those scriptures are the Tanakh. I would suggest you search the Tanakh to understand that Jesus is YHWH the visible one who is eternal. Having a Savior that is not eternal is one that can't save you. Have a blessed day.

Sam makes good points but his approach is grossly aggressive. (At least right here it is) He does realize we can be passionate about getting the word out but we are called to preach, teach and exegete with gentleness and respect. 1 Peter 3:15 ESV “But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,”

[@johnbarnas879]

@@dman7668 I found this by searching for Mary, Intercessor: "When praying to God the Father, it is customary to pray through Christ Our Lord. When praying to Jesus, however, many Catholics pray through the intercession of our Blessed Mother. The prayer you cite, praying through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, is a version of this. The practice emerges from the Gospel of John at the wedding feast at Cana. Mary is able to prevail upon Jesus, though, at first, he seems unwilling to make wine for the wedding. After her entreaty, he not only makes it, but he makes it in abundance. Mary’s role as a powerful intercessor has long been sought and rewarded. In terms of Mary’s heart, there is no heart more pure or more tuned to her son’s heart. She knows his will and just what to ask - and how. No one can have a greater intercessor with Jesus." Sorry, just as wonky as the Mormons.

I love how Sam smirks every time the kid calls God "Heavenly Father." It's the silly little Mormon version of calling God "Daddy Dearest."

[@vickib1469]

Many religions address God as Heavenly Father or Father in Heaven

[@bezel95]

I was raised Mormon. I was there in primary class, then seminary, then priesthood meetings when they were talking about becoming gods, getting your own planet, that Jesus and Satan are literal brothers and descended from the heavenly mother and heavenly father, who also was born as a man and descended from an infinite regression of gods, and that there was a war in heaven. This is the “plan of salvation”. That is core LDS doctrine, but nowadays you’ll hear a lot of “we never taught that! That’s not official! That’s just speculation!” Don’t believe a word of it. They’re embarrassed of their doctrine and so they hide it, gaslight doubters or try to play it down. They’re trying to become more mainstream by changing “becoming gods” to “becoming godlike” and other such baloney. The LDS church is hemorrhaging members, the internet and widespread distribution of early church history is the cause of it, members are waking up.

[@onestoptechnologies7305]

Bible - "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, NOT OF WORKS, lest anyone should boast." Book of mormon - "For we know that it is by grace that we are saved, AFTER ALL WE CAN DO..."

I didn't see any person that came to destroy you. I saw a polite young man who admitted that he doesn't have all the answers and he wasn't afraid to show his face on camera - and above all, he wasn't "barking". Your title is slanderous and hateful.

The title is true, as many souls are destroyed by the those who teach the book of Mormon as people who have been deceived have testified

There is a time when conversation is pointless, their not seeking truth because they are all they want within themselves and have become self righteous, the very people God spews out of His mouth.

Saving ordinance? Simply another works based cult. Satan’s original lie is to become like God. Satan’s original lie is what all cults are based upon. And no Mormon can answer who is the original creator.

[@dman7668]

What do you mean ANOTHER works based cult? The Bible doesn't teach you are saved by faith alone..James 2:24 flat out contradicts your protestant idea of sola fide. Which isn't biblical. A man is justiifed by his works , not just by his faith. Abraham himself was justified by his works when he offered his son Issac on the altar. And please do not qoute Ephesians 2:8-9 at me. It doesn't say justification by faith alone.

He planted a seed for sure. He told the young man that he is "barking" and that he will send him "packing".

[@marvin9909]

Not sure why some people are so obsessed with trying to tell someone else that they’re not a Christian or they’re a heretic etc etc just because they believe something different about God or Christ. Wouldn’t it be amazing if this Sam guy started asking questions like “so tell me about how your belief in Christ helps you in your life?” or “let’s talk about the beliefs that we have in common”. It’s likely that listening to each other would result in much more harmony and understanding than this desire to hit someone over the head with bible verses in a quite arrogant manner, which can only lead to negative feelings (which are not really Christlike feelings).

[@rhondahart2416]

Sam is a bit much but he deals with heretics all day long and all they want to do is give their interpretation instead of reading the text. Sam wants people to understand from this Mormon that they don't even understand their own theology, which they don't. The reason we should have apologetics is to tell people about the real gospel of Christ. Do you follow Hello Saints? That is a totally different approach which I'm not quite sure about but the Pastor is the opposite of Sam.

[@shortstopmotions]

Because the teachings of the jehovah witness doctrine are different from the teachings of the mormon doctrine .while, yes, it's true that Jesus is present in those 2 religions. They don't follow what Jesus said. They follow what their founder said. For example, according to mormon doctrine, God comes from a planet called Kobol and that Jesus and Satan are brothers. Jesus never said that Satan is his brother. That was a lied created by Joseph smith, and people believe that. So that is the problem ,people follow what their founder said, and because of that, people are being lied to.

[@markl1904]

Because the early church fathers were doing the same, they wrote to heretics or about heretics so Jesus teachings were preserved

1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. 7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. 17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, 18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: 19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 20 But ye have not so learned Christ; 21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. 25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. 26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: 27 Neither give place to the devil. 28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. 29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. 30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
