The Jesus Survey for Mormons

[@BunnyWatson-k1w]

At 3:17. Here's where you are wrong. The curriculum in LDS Sunday school includes an entire year on New Testament study. So yes, we do read the four gospels. We also read the entire Old Testament, Book of Mormon, and Doctrine and Covenants/Pearl of Great Price in each of the following three years.

[@brotherinchrist72]

If you truly read the Bible, including Isaiah, then you should already know that God's word clearly states: There are no other Gods There shall never be any other Gods God knows of no other Gods This is in complete conflict with what Joe Smith Jr preached and the core doctrine of Mormonism. If you actually studied what Jesus taught, then you would already or should have felt very conflicted with Mormon teachings.

The entire LDS religion is based on the need for restoration… Nephi prophesied that after Jesus and the Apostles, the Christian Church corrupts the Bible. 1 Nephi 13: 26 And after they go forth by the hand of the twelve apostles of the Lamb, from the Jews unto the Gentiles, thou seest the formation of that great and abominable church, which is most abominable above all their churches; for behold, they have taken away from the gospel of the Lamb many parts which are plain and most precious; Notes at bottom of the page state the prophecy was given "Between 600 and 592 BC" 1 Nephi 13:29 … because of these things which are taken away out of the gospel of the Lamb, an exceedingly great many do stumble, yea insomuch that satan hath great power over them. 1 Nephi 14:3 And that great pit, which hath been digged for them by that great and abominable church, which was founded by the devil and his children, that he might lead away the souls of the men down to hell There are no ancient manuscripts of the book of mormon In antiquity, there are more than 40k copies of ancient manuscripts of the Bible. These copies have been compared and they were the same, unchanged. Monks did NOT change the texts. There is physical evidence of this. "Nephi" prophecied the Bible would be corrupted after Jesus and the Apostles. Since the Dead Sea scrolls were predated to the corruption, we can compare the dead sea scrolls with our modern Bible to see if there are any plain and precious portions missing. There is nothing missing or different! Even the Isaiah scroll is unchanged compared to our modern-day book of Isaiah! We can, however, compare Joseph Smiths bible to the Isaiah scroll found with the dead sea scrolls and see he added pages and pages of text to Isaiah as well as inserting himself into the text! It is Joseph Smith and his familiar spirits that corrupted the Bible! What more proof is needed than this? Watch the Bible vs. Joseph Smith www.amazon.com/Bible-vs-Joseph-Smith/dp/B007S1ES3E

[@brotherinchrist72]

What is interesting is that the LDS church believes that some people, after they have died, are some how resurrected before the appointed time and come back to minister to people, such as Joe Smith Jr. The Bible is clear on this, that man is appointed to die once, and then the judgement. Those who are with the Lord in heaven awaiting the resurrection do not come back as angels or anything else to minister to anyone. This is pure heresy and not taught by Christ or the apostles. No matter how well a born again Christian tries to reason with a member of the LDS church, most will simply ignore the truth, because they have bought into the deception and lies from Satan who is the creator of Mormonism. Remember, Satan himself can transform into an angel of light, and who did Joe Smith Jr see? An angel of light! The same goes for Muhammed who proclaimed the same thing and also proclaimed he was the last prophet to be called. Just like many in Islam, Roman Catholicism, and other man made religions, they can all claim the same "feeling" of the "burning in their bosom" when they pray and keep praying wanting a confirmation. This is not Biblical, because no where in the Scriptures does Jesus or his apostles tell us to base our truth on "feelings" but to test against the word of God.

[@grandpaje4734]

Matt 22 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. Mr Thompson, Let me clarify that, Just like the scripture said. Temple marriage is done on earth not after resurrection in heaven. All temple ordinanced will be performed on earth ; And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Let's see in the Bible about aronic and Melchizedek Priesthood; covenant of an everlasting priesthood, Num. 25:13. Levites … the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance, Josh. 18:7. Lord hath chosen you to stand before him, 2 Chr. 29:11. have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant, Neh. 13:29. 11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? 17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. (Hebrew 7)

[@AlexanderosD]

Notice the "who". The Levites, the sons of Aaron, and the priesthood of Melchizedek. Now where in any of those 3 does it give a continuing priesthood authority to the disciples of Jesus or the apostles of Jesus, or even those who come in the authority of Jesus? And even of that one man, there is nothing said about priesthood from his tribe, because he comes from the tribe of Judah. Yeshua ben Nazari, Jesus the Messiah, He alone is our "high priest" There is one man with the right to the authority of a priesthood "after the order of Melchizedek." There is one man who is given the right to be called "a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek." because God himself has said "I swear it and will not relent, you are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek." (This is to say, in 'in the likeness of the priesthood that was without genealogy') Are you trying to claim that Joseph Smith has the right to claim such a priesthood when Jesus is the one who currently and will forever hold that priesthood? That, is heretical, and irreverent to the high priest Jesus himself.

Rom. 8:29, Eph. 1:4, Heb. 12:9, Jude 1:6, Rev. 12:7. -and thats just NT, do you think the Bible is ONLY the 4 Gospels? Do you deny scripture in the Old Testiment? Why is your interpretation the only interpretation?

[@grandpaje4734]

This is a problem for you sir John 16:26 it is not what you quoted in your video This is what is written : " At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:" It is diffrent than your quotation. I think you mean to quote from Luke 16:26; "26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence." But as usual, don't stop there, continue to read next verse 27; "27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:" So you see that prayer is still able to pass a great gulf. And if you say that you have the chance only in this life, and there is no other chance after this life. You are contradicting what apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15 *19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.* Please read the whole context before you make your remarks about Mormonism.

[@JohnnyRudick]

1 Corinthians 15 context is IF the dead are not raised. If all there is is this life and we are not raised we are most miserable. This has nothing to do with those who have passed on from this life other than if there is no hope of a resurrection why bother to seek a new birth. If the dead are not raised? If you are not born again you are a walking dead and the dead are being baptized all the time to raise them to a new life in Christ. In Adam ALL die but in Christ, all may be made alive. Jesus is the one here that many are saying is dead. Another way of looking at it is - If people are being baptized it is because of Him who they say is dead. If He is not raised why bother to be baptized because of Him?

11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord. (1 Cor 11) 26 And God said, Let us make man in *OUR IMAGE, after OUR LIKENESS*: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; MALE and FEMALE created he them.

What survey? It doesn't exist. Your website does not work well. It took a long time because of an error of 403. The Lord save my life when I was a baby going to die but I didn't. My mother told me that she was beaten up before I was born. Somehow God knew that I have accepted this body before I was born that I am going to have a disability. So I was born and I found out about my disability. I hated myself and I did not know why and it is not faulted. God told me that He gave me this disabled body before I was born. He told me that I must accept it in the premorality existence which I did not think about it. Here I am still wishing that my disability goes away and I want to have a job like everyone else out there. I wish that employers would look to up to me instead of me just clicking buttons for jobs that never come.

[@grandpaje4734]

Mr. Daniel Thompson, Wow, this video is 2014. Anyways, I watched your video and basically that you are a very sincere and good person, trying to help or winning the souls of LDS. I am an LDS, and I just want to clarify just briefly, don't want to make a very long comment. First, my comment is not to dispute or not dispute, agree nor disagree with your concept of faith. Just let me try to explain why we believe the way we believe. Mostly, an LDS read the scriptures from all standard works, The Holy Bible, The Book of Mormon, The Doctrine & Covenant and the Pearl of Great Price. Let me refer to "surveys" of apostasy. You are right in Matthew 16 "18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Yes His church will be forever, but please continue to next verses; 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Note: " the keys of kingdom of heaven" is not always be bound on earth. If you continue reading verses 22, 23 you can read what Peter did.. Jesus Christ is also said in Mathew 21:43 43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. We believe that the kingdom of God is given back to the nation of The USA, through Joseph Smith with total power and authority from God (Priesthood), the same church of Jesus Christ of early saints ; 19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner ston 2 Peter 1 19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. Eph 3 4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) 5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. 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; (Eph 4) King James Version (KJV)

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: 2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: *4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:* Eph 1

[@donaldgulledge729]

What you convolute is Repentence and Forgiveness. Jesus CAN forgive anything anytime He so desires, but forget not he always requires REAL INTENT and TRUE FAITH, unless you believe YOUR Jesus is a fool to be triffled with. You are convoluting the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint policies on repentance for Church standing. At NO time does the Church disolve a persons relationship with God, there are policies on fellowship with the rights and ordinences of the Church designed to encourage sincere repentence and to show respect to the covenants made with God. No Christian is forbidden from praying, or prevented from forgiveness from Jesus. The Church forgives as well, that is why they offer a process to aid in successful change instead of just pretending nothing happened.

Question 1: “How do you know Jesus even existed?” “Because the Bible says so.” “That’s not proof. We have little to no idea who wrote that book and there’s no physical evidence of any of its events.” Question 2: “Why do you believe humans are ‘damned’ by default and need a savior?” “Because the Bible says so and because my pastor tells me every week.” “Does your pastor happen to be offering you the one and only way to be saved from damnation?” “Yeah...” “Do you give your pastor money?” “.....”

What is needed to be a believer in THE Christ and to get into Heaven has nothing to do with results of your survey sir. In my opinion you got a lot of the answers wrong, but I don't deny you are my brother nor would I forbid you to the kingdom. I would caution you, that Jesus biggest strughle while he walked the earth was dealing with people that presumed they could judge their brother unworthy of the gifts of the true God. There is only one Jesus, one judge and that is who I believe in and rest my trust whose power and grace and continence I can not fully comprehend. To argue over your vs my definitions of diety is a fools errend sir. Find your salvation and leave the judgement to He who is the only one worthy to exercise it.

[@donaldgulledge729]

You call yourself a Christian, but when another person tells you they have read the Gospels, your response is "I doubt that, your probably lieing because I dont like your Church". Sounds to me you miggt be the one either studying the wrong Jesus, or at least not understanding what you read.

[@donaldgulledge729]

Priesthood. You intentionally pretend that the lack of the word Priesthood indicates Jesus didnt speak of ordained with authority when the NT and the Gospels speak extensively of Authority, Ordained with power, authorized, called, etc. The mere fact Jesus called his followers and ordained them as Apostles, Desciples shows that there were those placed in authority, not that anyone could just assume authority. You yourself are basically arguing that "mormons" have no authority to call themselves Christian because you say so as if you have some authority to do so, which negates your own argument that no one needs any authority at all. So which is it? And if some authority is needed, where does it come from? You and your definitions and interpretations or fro God, and if God, when and how is it given?

[@chipthompson6257]

So, you are a Catholic? If you are, you would probably be able to answer the questions on the Jesus survey correctly. Any Christian that understands the teachings of Jesus will get the majority of these questions correct.

We only have to discuss one thing to know that concerned Christians do not know what they are talking about. Describe the God you pray to. Not one incomprehensible, but three incomprehensibles, without body, parts, or passions, etc. Trinity. The Emperor Constantine would be proud of concerned Christians today. If you do not want to know the Father, no one is going to force you to know Him. Jesus told the Pharisees that they should study the scriptures because in them they thought they had eternal life. He did not say that they had eternal life. He said they thought they had eternal life. In John 17:3 Jesus tells us what eternal life is. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. So the Pharisees could believe they had eternal life because they knew Jesus personally, talked right to him and helped crucify him, and then they could say they knew the Father because they had the scriptures. I see concerned Christians somewhat the same way. So I tell them, Study the scriptures because in them you believe you know the Father and the Son. But if your interpretation of the scriptures leads you to know a sort of cloud without body, parts, or passions, then you obviously do not know the Father because the Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man's. But one thing I think we can agree on, concerned Christians believe they are here to judge mankind and to foretell who is going to be saved and who is not going to be saved. They are plainly stating that members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are not going to be saved unless they leave the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. So, obviously, they are a little ahead of themselves. They cannot even say who appointed them to preach this doctrine, much less who appointed them to be judges of mankind. In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints we believe what the apostle John said about it. John 5:21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them: even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. 22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son. So to avoid contention, why don't we just wait until Jesus Christ judges this earth? That is what Jesus Christ and his prophets have told us to do. Then if you disagree with Jesus Christ about who should be saved and who should not be saved, you can express your disagreements directly to Jesus Christ like the Pharisees did.

Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God. Which he is different than all of us. Jesus knows his father well, because unlike all of us we have mortal father on earth, and spirit father in heaven. Jesus has both physical and spritual father in heaven.
