Jeff Durbin engaged in a loving and graceful conversation with two Mormon gentleman outside of the Mormon temple in Mesa, Arizona, during the most recent Christmas Lights event. One of the men was a returned missionary from a mission in Singapore.
In this conversation, Jeff challenges the Latter-day Saints on several issues: the test for truth, the Person of Christ, becoming gods, and the Gospel. We hope this blesses you and you consider sharing it with Christians and Mormons alike.

Satan has Gentiles out fighting against Jesus Christ's only true Church all the time, but the Apostle Paul explained that Gentiles are “without Christ” and “strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope.” They are “without God in the world,” and all because they are “aliens from the commonwealth of Israel” (Ephesians 2:11-12). Ephesians 2:12, “That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world.” MORE BIBLICAL SCRIPTURES therestoredgospelofjesuschrist.wordpress.com/2017/04/06/all-gentiles-are-condemned-unless-they-accept-the-restored-gospel-of-jesus-christ/

Carlos Valdez Jr Mormons believe in most of the same things as other christians. The only reason most don’t agree with them is because they have another testament of Christ. They don’t discount the Bible. They use both the Bible and the Book of Mormon. The Bible is Jesus’ time in the Middle East. The Book of Mormon is Jesus’ time after he was resurrected and visited the people in the americas. time They just don’t believe in the trinity. They believe the father, the son, and the Holy Ghost are three separate people. While there are differences, those Mormons are not too different from the rest of Christianity.

I pray you truly listen to what he says with an open heart. The book of mormon simply can not be true. It gives testimony about things that just can not be true. It mentions metals in the new world that just did not exist yet. It mentions animals that were not in the americas yet. It mentions plants that did NOT exist here yet. Joseph smith is a snake oil salesman and i pray you realize this before it is too late.

He is just not gonna interrupt because they feel no need to rant off to him about their religion as this man does. Just because they are not completely knowledgeable doesn’t mean that they’re wrong. They are being respectful and not forcing anything on him like this man does to every person he meets telling them they need to repent, a true and loving gospel wouldn’t act that way. Whether a 40 yr old man who has dedicated his life to prove against the Mormon church can say more words then 22 yr old men or not doesn’t mean one is true. Just look at which one seems more at peace. All im gonna say

Pastor Jeff is an artist of persuasion, he is one of the many Antichrist the Holy Bible forewarns us of. He is evil and he is sucking you all in if you think he was in any way teaching the truth. I wished that I was the one there asking him about the scriptures he doesn’t touch on. He is a deceiver of men, he is teaching the philosophies of men not God, If you can’t see this the it is my guess you are not understanding the words of the prophets, Paul is one of the greatest apostles teaching the people the word of God very simply and Jeff twist and turn his words around so the majority of God’s children don’t even understand them. Jeff is a servant for the Devil, he is is eloquent in telling lies, and making a mockery of the Holy Bible.

Jan Leyba Actually it was the other way around. Joseph Smith did not like Christianity. It was of the devil, all wrong, anti Christ (like you just posted), Christians were deceived by Satan...... So, Joseph Smith invented his own god who was once a man and a sex addict just like he was. This is called idolatry, when you make a god that you feel comfortable with. A god of your imagination. Then he told his followers that they, too could have endless sex in the afterlife. This is called lying. Jesus said we would be as the angels and that death ended marriage. I Cor. 7:2 Joseph Smith was also a blasphemer. He mocked God and said God was once a man and he mocked Jesus Christ and said he was the brother of Lucifer. And of course everyone knows that Joseph Smith was an adulterer. He married 15 women in 1842 alone and lied about it four times in writing that year, married eleven women who were already married to other men (so much for their 'forever' families), married two sets of sisters, two sets of a mother and her daughter, ordered a printing press destroyed that printed things he didn't like, had himself anointed king of the earth during the millenium, etc., etc.. Your LDS 'heavenly father' approves of such wicked behavior. And you even worship him. How sad. If Joseph Smith were alive today he would be arrested. More importantly he would be diagnosed as having Bipolar Disorder, hpersexualization and delusional thinking. You are following the teachings of an extremely mentally ill man. Do you know of any married man who thinks he will be married to other men's wives in the afterlife? How many married men do you know married 15 women last year? How many married men are married to two sets of sister? Two sets of a mother and a daughter? Your heavenly father has very low morals.

@Kevin Johnson I would like to add that my intellect and need to feel smarter than others led me to atheism. I didn't like authority in religion or school or parents but didn't realize I was trading their authority for authority in atheists and scientists without investigating for myself. I was lazy and found a home for a while to hang my hat in the 'comfort' of ignorance of God. God had other plans for me, praise the Lord.

As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints I can tell you we love Christ and his teachings. We know it's only though him and his grace that we are saved. We learn of him and do our best to keep his commandments. It's interesting to hear people say we are not Christians or that we don't know him. I beg to differ.

I've been to the Mormon church as I was searching for a high power at the time. What I learned is Mormons don't even preach the Bible they teach from the book of Mormon , and pick out passages from the Bible out of context to explain what the book of Mormon says. What I don't get are the cult like activitys in the temples. Similar to free masonary. Mormon people are some of the best people I know. Most of them are 3 generations into the church so they are stuck and indoctrinated into Mormonism. Jesus warned of false prophets and false religions im Sorry your not a Christian because there's only one Jesus Christ and he's not Satan's brother like Mormons believe, that's so blasphemous it makes me sad. The book of Mormon was created from Joseph Smith a known con artist , so many things wrong with the cult makes it so obvious that it's fake. But it's okay we all get judge one day , all I can say is at least atempt questioning your religion and if there are to many unanswered question the real Jesus will guide you too the truth. God bless 🙏 . I hope you find jesus

What a lovingly and beautifully presented gospel! The young man on the right, as many have noticed, is soaking in every word. Around the 12 minute mark, the guy on the left glances over to the young man in the glasses, as if he’s concerned that his friend is actually listening to Jeff and considering the truth of the Christian gospel. I’m praying that this young man, who was born and raised a Mormon, believes on the Lord Jesus Christ and is saved.

I’m a born again Christian that has loved the LDS people since 2010. I’m like Jeff that way. God has put it in my heart to love the LDS people and share the gospel with them as well. Unfortunately sometimes they don’t understand my purpose for discussing the matter with them. I’m not interested in debating. I’m interested in sharing the Gospel with them. And I know that it’s not just me and Jeff Durbin that love the LDS. There are many born again Christians that do. Sometimes we don’t always no the best way to share the Gospel. And listening to Jeff helps me to understand better how to do it.

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 to accept at first, but trust me, JESUS IS DEFINITELY WORTH IT!😉 Thank you Jesus for this channel & the incredible work these men of God are doing to help bring home the lost. God is so good!💪 🙏🥹♥️ Praise Jesus! God Bless🙏♥️✝️

At my home I sat down comfortably with two young Mormon fellows, who looked nothing as these, but were very clean in appearance. But to the point, for that remark above is not it: They had no problem in acknowledging their faith in Jesus from the beginning in their admitting themselves as sinners seeking saving, from the beginning with their introductions. We spoke and they left me with their book. Where I just read opening of the booklet, and set it aside. Praying for them, as we had done in group for each other, and in parting. For each individually is searching for AllMightY Creator’s Truthful Will, and help in our ability to do so, and not men’s’.

One of the things I struggle with when sharing the gospel with mormons is that they seem to agree with what you are saying, and this ofcourse is because we use the same language as Jeff said here. It can be hard to break these moulds. I remember mentioning the trinity and getting a chance to explain it and the young guys basically said, "yup, we believe that too". It's hard. I think the right thing to do is point to Jesus I'm the scriptures and what he has to say unto things. Well done Jeff.

What an incredible video. You’re probably the first “suggestion” from KZbin that I’ve ever been grateful for. The fruit of the Holy Sprit shines so brightly through you. They just built a Mormon temple down the road from me. I’m watching your videos to learn how to engage my brothers and sisters and lead them to the truth. LDS community is a very strong and close-knit community. There’s a ton of things to be admired about their way of life. However, the only fault happens to be a complete dealbreaker and lands one on eternal separation from the Presence of Yahweh. But we are to expose the unfruitful deeds of darkness, with GRACE and then truth. Most people are missing the grace, myself included. We just like to hammer away at truth. But people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

This doesn’t mean he tells facts, he preaches only by word, when Mormons preach through doctorine and revelation given to us through our prophet. We can pray and feel for ourselves what is true, this man only blabbers facts. And cults are a newly found religion, you simply can become new again without conversion.

The great thing is that these kids didn’t get agitated and flea once they had no response as many more “trained” Mormons are triggered to do once confronted. There is only one Truth and that amazing Truth is my savior and has always been. He didn’t aspire to become God, nor did the Father. We cannot become the Father, the Son or the Holy Spirit. Grace is something available to those who know who Christ Jesus is and are willing to sacrifice themselves for Him. I pray you will. Thank you, Lord.

Dave Taylor There’s truth in your words, but it’s not the whole truth. I take issue with your statement for a few reasons. 1) There is clear evidence of hell’s existence in the Bible. Jesus talked about it in the gospels, and Revelation mentions the lake of fire that the demons and the unbelievers will be thrown into. 2) If hell isn’t real, then what was Jesus saving us from when He died? 3) You can’t trust your heart to tell you the truth because the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked according to the Bible. You have to let facts dictate your feelings, don’t let feelings dictate your facts. 4) Going off the last point, the devil can make a lie appealing and comforting to keep people from the truth. The truth is liberating, but it cuts deep at first. The Bible describes the truth as a two-edged sword and an arrow piercing the heart. Interpret that as you will.

I'm not sure saying "the real Jesus" is very fair. Jeff focuses on having "different" Jesuses solely on LDS beliefs about Satan. But every Christian denomination has variations of doctrine, yet we're all Christian. Notice that Jeff cannot produce a scripture (something he's generally good at) regarding the creation of Satan, so he depends on his belief. But when LDS do the same thing about Satan, suddenly it's a different Jesus. That's not fair. Faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior is what makes us Christian - not our interpretation of scripture.
