My friend is a former Mormon and she hob-nobed with "Mormon royalty" in the seventies..... She dated an Osmond, rode horses with apostle Boyd K. Packer's kids, was a winner in the Miss Provo and Miss Utah Pageants, ran for Miss USA, was Belle of the Y Princess, and did her PhD and taught at BYU. She knows all there is to know about Mormonosm, and she says this video is 100% TRUE and accurate! And my friend would LOVE to go on this podcast and help support Jesse---because Jesse is telling the Truth!

When I used to live in California, I went to a ward where people were kind, sociable and friendly to me. But one day, when I was at a grocery store, I went to a check out line behind a lady who goes to the ward and is usually kind to me at church. I called out her name with a greeting, no reaction from her. I tapped her on the shoulders with a greeting along with her name, no reaction from her. Then when I saw her at church the following Sunday, she greeted me with a smile. I decided to look at her as if I didn't know her, and didn't react to her.

You are trying, but you are not free to worship as you were intended to until you can do it one on one, without someone in between telling you how you should be doing it. You know in your heart how to do it without interference or instruction Feel God in your heart and welcome Him all on your own. That is a relationship.

Here's a mind blowing fact. Tricking people into joining doesn't work, and is counter productive, and if a mission president can't see that, he should be released from his calling. Missionaries teach the gospel and the Book of Mormon. No psychological tricks, no deceptions. Also, the Church does not need money. The Church has plenty of money. So, that blows up the theory that we need members so they give more money.

As someone who was adopted by a Mormon family at the age of 9, I can positively tell you that I was taught most of the stuff that she is talking about during Sunday school and also during 'Sacrament" (same thing as listening to your pastor but it's different speakers for the Mormon church). I'm so glad that my mom got out of this church and that she didn't push me to get out, too. If she would have pushed me, I would have not listened to her. Instead, she let me come to her to ask her why she left. She told me and showed me how she was fooled into believing in a pagan religion after she was raised a Baptist. Before I was adopted at age 9, I believed in Jesus Christ, but I really didn't understand Christianity. So, it was easy for me to get sucked into that pagan religion of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (BIG contradiction in that name). I've been out since 1993 after I joined the military and got stationed in Germany. Oh, and here is a FACT. Joseph Smith WILL NEVER be a "God" to make planets to rule over.

@richardstorm4603 In 1974 I joined the Army and was stationed in Germany until I got out in March of 1979. It was there that I went to Germany as a Catholic and left as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. One thing I learned was that the facts I thought were facts were not. I now know I have the correct facts. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Lord's Church upon this earth. It was created for the humans who would be sent to this planet right before the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ to prepare the people of this world for the changes that will be made for the millennium. What is the major sign to mankind that the 2nd coming will happen soon? Here is a revelation from Joseph Smith to the world: “I have asked of the Lord concerning His coming; and while asking the Lord, He gave a sign and said, ‘In the days of Noah I set a bow in the heavens as a sign and token that in any year that the bow should be seen the Lord would not come; but there should be seed time and harvest during that year: but whenever you see the bow withdrawn, it shall be a token that there shall be famine, pestilence, and great distress among the nations, and that the coming of the Messiah is not far distant.’” The bow has been seen this year. And remember this... it does not have to rain to see the rainbow. You can often see it when spraying water on the lawn on a sunny day. I find it funny that you can state a FACT yet because it is a future event you are proclaiming yourself to be a prophet and declaring that what Joseph Smith will or won't be. The only FACT your presented was that you "believe" Joseph Smith will never be a God. And it is amazing to me that you say "planets" to rule over, when I would say "Galaxy" to rule over. Ever notice when looking at Galaxies from the Hubble Telescope... that you can not see the center of any of them because the center of all of them is lit with a light so bright? In the center of each Galaxy is where the Glory of the God of that place shines forth. That is what I believe. So you thinking that any one who becomes like our Father in Heaven only rules over a few planets is just silly.

I was once visited by two fine young missionaries. I was invited to join the church. I asked them for help in suderstanding the Book of Mormon. I asked, "Do I understand that the Book of Mormon is the latest information from God for the human rase?" "Yes." I asked them to help me understand Mosiah 13:16-19. "Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy... The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God." They had no answer for me. I asked them why they did not follow the "latest" information from God for the human race. Answer, "We would get in trouble if we did that." I told them that my church followed that commandment, how could I join a church that only followed 9 out of 10 commandments. I prayed for them.

I left the Mormon church almost two years ago and am now attending a non-denominational Christian church. Having said that, I think it's important to remember that just because a Mormon said something at some point, does not mean that it is what all Mormons believe today. Many of the things that were shared in this video are simply not at all what I was taught in my 42 years of weekly attendance at the Mormon church. I realize there are probably references for all of the "facts" that were shared here, but that does not mean this is what all Mormons believe today. Mormons throughout its young history have said all kinds of things that are not considered to be the doctrine of the church today. I also know many Mormons who hold personal beliefs that do not necessarily reflect what is always said at the pulpit. This makes the whole conversation endlessly complicated. It is my hope that we can all offer one another the same grace that we EACH so desperately need in this life.

I understand fully what you're saying. Yes, I can back up every claim made in the video and I do admit that yes, some of the things are not taught today (but were at some point by a "prophet!") so I can't just dismiss the past stuff and pretend it wasn't taught. Most things stated are current beliefs, though, and are not disclosed unless you search it out and learn it for yourself. So many secrets. So much kept hidden. Even people who join the church usually have NO IDEA what is done in the temples or that the goal is to become a god one day. Most people are unfamiliar with Joseph and Brigham and other's polygamy and contradicting teachings about who God is.... etc!! And this info needs to be made known. I also hear you when you say to extend grace to one another but I simply cannot extend grace to people who are living in ignorance (many willingly) while they are serving an absolutely false god/gods. I need to proclaim the truth! As a Bible-believing Christian who loves Jesus and wants the world to come to know Him as their personal Savior, I have to expose false beliefs and proclaim the truth of the Word of God and I want to share the one and only true God and make Him known.

To be honest, I wasn't looking for a video such as this but the title caught my attention. Reading a lot of these comments, I have to say I agree with you. I had been a Mormon for over 30 yrs & I wasn't taught a lot of the things in this video & I have never heard of families not being able to be with their family members if they were excommunicated from the church. But hey, it seems a lot of church leaders in a lot of different denominations have never even read the Bible. So, the way I look at it is, if you want to be close to God, read the Bible, gain a close relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus and don't sweat the small stuff. We can cant self righteousness till the cows come home and point the finger at any Church and go on a fault finding campaign but that will not make us better people. Just saying... probably good to ask questions and choose your lifestyle with care and thoughtfulness.

i don't want to detract from jessie's comment, but i do have a question for any mormon. how do you know what the true teachings of present day mormonism is? if you can't get it from reading the standard works, or elders quorum lesson manual, or sunday school manual, or the official online mormon website? how do you know for yourself what the true mormon doctrine is, and h ow do you know that jessie is not repeating official modern mormon doctrine? if there is no written documentation for what you believe, aren't you then in danger of leading yourself and others astray with false teachings?

@@longnamenocansayy My take is, if you can't find the info by reading the official works, manuals & etc. then you have to consider the frame of reference. Then too, look at all the changes in the Catholic church. People don't question the changes so it shouldn't be surprising that the Mormon church makes changes. I believe there is such a thing as spiritual growth so maybe... It's why we need to keep studying the Bible. God opens our eyes when we're ready and able to understand.

Julia Dawn Olson Just to throw my two cents in; I come from a very heavily influenced Mormon home and my mother believes every single point made in this video. The bottomline here, in my opinion, is not whether all Mormons believe the LDS church doctrine or have even heard of most of these things. It’s that this church was not founded on biblical principals and biblical account of Christ Jesus. Which makes it a false Christ (Matthew 24:24) and because they think works and baptism and repentance saves they will be cast out (Matthew 7:21-23) Ignorance is not the same as innocence and we should be mindful of what people who speak “Christianese” say. That’s my take

People sadly get drawn in by the awesome fellowship that they experience and it is no wonder that “feelings” are so strong to join. But start asking the wrong questions and not accepting the bogus answers and see how long that fellowship lasts. Sinners don’t get to be accepted in the LDS church while Christians understand that church is specially for the sinners, all of us.

But I was never denied answers rather given references and encouraged to pray and study.

Hi Jessie, you are very informative. I grew up in a Reorgaized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints family home. ( Not Mormon but shared some main beliefs. ) I Believed our church was the only way to salvation and that every one else is going to hell and that the Catholic church was the church of the devil. I was a non active member for years because I kept silent. To make a long story short, at the age of 40 I came out of my bubble when I started asking questions and was not happy with the answers I received. I explored other Faiths. It says in the Bible that God wants us to question everything because in doing so we will find the truth. Wow has my journey of faith changed since coming out of the bubble. I have so many stories of how God has blessed me and those I love. All I need is my Bible. God's salivation is for everyone, not just a chosen few. There is good and bad in all religion........but I also believe more than anything what my Grandfather told me. He said salvation is not how many times you go to church......or what church you go to......it's how you live your life, how you treat your next door neighbor, our actions and the kind of person you are in your heart. God loves everyone. There is good and bad in everyone. I would also like to point out that in the Bible it says why satan was kicked out of heaven and who he is/was. The Bible are the only words I need. I pray you will be blessed in your search for the truth. You are definitely on the right track. Thanks for listening or reading my post. Peace Out.

My answer should not sound harsh to you as it is difficult to show how I really mean it by writing. I mean it with love. Sorry you´re wrong! You think your way is the same as for example the Christian way. But the way with Jesus Christ is unique. He is the way, the truth, the life and no one cometh to the father but through him. It´s about our sin before God. That made the gap between God and men. (the spiritual and also bodily dead).True repentence is what God wants and always wanted from us. He loves us but will judge correctly. As everybody is somehow guilty he would have to judge all of us. The wages of sin is death. This is also what you might have heared about heaven and hell. I know that in some famos east religions they talk rather of reincarnation and drop hell. But hell is real. So God in his love for us send his only begotten son that he would pay our wages. He suffered and died instead of us. When you truly repend and accept Jesus Christ as your savior and give your live to him in a serious prayer, you will be free of sin (wages of..) immediately and will receive his holy spirit which also means that you will be bornagain. A bornagain Christian. You would notice the difference. Please then (go on ) praying to Got in Jesus Name or to Jesus Christ and read the bible. It´s not about being rich and always of promised good health. It´s not about energies. It´s not about wishes to be fulfilled. Its not about meditating and hearing inner voices (I had my experiences... with "Angels", "Jesus" and others) Find out. It´s really serious. Please find out. There are also many false preachers. It´s not about (trying) to be good. It´s about accepting his salvation. But , as I am not native english speaking I don´t know many, but you may listen to Paul Washer, John Lennox, ...and of course going on reading the bible. Please excuse me if I misunderstood something. May God bless you.

April it is never too late to do what you know is right, to follow the truth and to come to know the one true God who loves you, created you in His image and desires a relationship with you. Call upon the name of Jesus to be saved, through repentance for your sin and faith in Christ's death on the cross, knowing that this was done as an atonement for your sins so that you might be saved! You are saved through faith alone, by God's grace. There is power in the resurrection of Jesus.. He is alive! Can I share some verses with you that clearly show Salvation?

The Bible says: 1 John 5:11-12 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. The one who has the Son has this eternal life; the one who does not have the Son of God does not have this eternal life. Isaiah 59:2 But your sinful acts have alienated you from your God; your sins have caused him to reject you and not listen to your prayers. Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. All have sinned and fall short of the glory (the perfect holiness) of God, Rom. 3:23 There is no one righteous, not even one, Rom. 3:9-10 Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; it is not of works, so that no one can boast. Titus 3:5-7 he saved us, not by works of righteousness that we have done but on the basis of his mercy, through the washing of the new birth and the renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us in full measure through Jesus Christ our Savior. And so, since we have been justified by his grace, we become heirs with the confident expectation of eternal life. Romans 4:1-5 What then shall we say that Abraham, our ancestor according to the flesh, has discovered regarding this matter? For if Abraham was declared righteous by the works of the law, he has something to boast about (but not before God). For what does the scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” Now to the one who works, his pay is not credited due to grace but due to obligation. But to the one who does not work, but believes in the one who declares the ungodly righteous, his faith is credited as righteousness. Romans 1:4 who was appointed the Son-of-God-in-power according to the Holy Spirit by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 4:25 He was given over because of our transgressions and was raised for the sake of our justification. 2 Corinthians 5:21 God made the one who knew no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we would become the righteousness of God. 1 Peter 3:18 Because Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, to bring you to God, by being put to death in the flesh but by being made alive in the spirit. John 1:12 But to all who have received him--those who believe in his name--he has given the right to become God's children John 3:16-18 For this is the way God loved the world: he gave his one and only Son that everyone who believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world should be saved through him. The one who believes in Him is not condemned. The one who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God. This means we must each come to God the same way: (1) as a sinner who recognizes his sinfulness, (2) realizes no human works can result in salvation, and (3) relies totally on Christ alone by faith alone for our salvation. If you have just trusted in Christ, you need to learn about your new life and how to walk with the Lord. I would LOVE to talk to you more and to send you resources that will help you grow in your understanding of God and your new relationship with Him. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints teaches a false God, a false Jesus Christ and false prophets. I have this ministry here on KZitem and I expose all of the problems and lies in Mormonism through MANY more videos than this one. I encourage you to watch them and to study these issues for yourself. Becoming a Christian is the best decision of your life! :) Sounds like you were once in a Christian church but then got led into the LDS church. I highly encourage you to seek out the truth and details behind Mormonism and it's history and doctrine and to cling to the truths of the Bible.

I learned of this almost 2 years ago I was devastated, as was my children. My children are the ones that helped me to see the truth and the light. I am thankful to be out of the lds church. I was a member for 32 years. My husband at the time had dementia/Alzheimer's and he died this past November. Going through faith crisis watching my husband passed away and having to come to the realization that everything I believed in was false was extremely hard to bear. I have been sharing the truth to friends that are willing to listen. Have you noticed that when you try to help friends or family see the truth of the lies of this church how angry they become and pull away from you? I remember going through all of that I was so afraid that my whole life was going to come crashing down on me, which it did I went through the process of denial and unbelief. But now that I am free and my eyes are wide open I have never been happier. Thank you for your beautiful videos. It's true that the truth will set you free. You are so lucky to of recognize all of this while you are young. So many years of wasted time in the temple so many wasted hours that I could've been doing something more productive. Such a waste of money paying tithing to a church that I didn't even realize that they were paid men. No more being afraid that if I say anything or do anything that I'm not worthy to be in the presence of God. I know different now. And I'm not afraid.

Clayton Knight Your statement is exactly what the Mormon church teaches. You have no human thought process and if you believe differently it is a lie and possibly from the devil. On the other hand, followers of Christ are just that! We follow Christ teachings and nobody else’s. All this is in the Holy Bible. There is so much Scripture to back up false prophets, and your teachings (I don’t have time to write down), I know the Mormons believe that the Bible has many flaws and they do not believe. However, they will pick and choose the Scriptures they want to quote so they can feel like they are Christ like. I myself, have a personal relationship with the true Jesus and He has given me so much peace and joy. I don’t deserve it, but He is a gracious God and only He is the one I go through in prayer. My prayer for you and the others, is that you search out what is happening in the church of Mormonism. God Bless.

@Distin Hirschi Jesus said “Except a man is born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” Jesus himself got baptized and he received the Holy Ghost. His Apostles baptized believers and conferred the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands. How about those who died without the gospel. Jesus’ words are clear: They cannot enter into the kingdom of God. How can they receive the gospel if they’re dead? 1 Peter 4:6 says, “For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.” But how can they be baptized? Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15:29, “Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?” Baptism for the dead in the Church is by revelation a vicarious ordinance of the gospel which is performed in the temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. There are now 168 such temples in operation, and more will continue to be constructed till the second coming of Jesus Christ.

People rarely hear that M-O-R-M-O-N is one letter from M-O-R-O-N. It is believed that Joseph Smith had a hatred of religion and was a con man, so he chose to add the second M. Mormons claim that they believe the Holy Bible, but the Book of Mormon and their other books contradict the Holy Bible many times. When people are talked to about becoming Mormon, many of them ask questions that the young people don't know the answers to, so they research to answer and then find out many wrongs in their religion, then some quit.

A couple of missionaries came out and talked to me and you are right. it seems like we hit it off so well. They wanted to baptize me right away. Oh my goodness. But I got busy and started researching everything on the Internet. When I came across the part where they think that God the father is a human being, that was it for me. I went to her and said”You believe that God is a man? So who created God?” She said to God was created by another God who was in turn created by another God before him, etc., ad infinitum. I told her, “when you find the first God who was not created by any other god, That’s the God I’ll be worshiping!” I mean I guess I’m supposed to be merciful and compassionate, but really what I want to say is “how dumb can you be?”

Since leaving I still have the OCD but being a Christian is healing me not destroying me. God is merciful and is my Savior who will not push me to hell for being human.

hey, I was the same way about 2 years ago, then I took a step back an analyzed things. Sure, the church teaches generally good things that will make you happy, but ultimately it can not be true (or highly unlikely anyway) as the claim of it can not be verified. For this, consider a simple experiment. Since 2 people from two different religions can pray about something and both feel a confirmation of their beliefs, while it is not possible for them both to be correct, then we must conclude faith is not a good measure of truth. Since faith is really the only way to justify belief in a religion, that means, believing in the church (or any church for this matter) is an act that can not be justified, thus since it can not ever be shown to be a justifiable action, it makes no sense to believe in one. This is a hard pill to swallow but is ultimately the logical conclusion.

My Mormon Mission... God forgive me. So I was raised LDS, my father served an LDS mission. Growing up in a small Utah town all of my friends went on missions, but I didn't want to because I felt in my heart that the LDS church was not true. I never believed in Joseph Smith or the BOM. So I went to college, also in Utah. There I met other friends who were confused as to why I wasn't on a mission at the age of 19. I was under so much pressure from my family and friends to go. I was told that I would never get married and that I promised to save people before I was born, but that I would be letting them down if I didn't go. So I caved in and went. I never read the BOM until I was in the MTC. I still felt that the church was not true and that the BOM was invented. On the mission I followed all the rules to the exact detail (it's my personality). But every time I taught about good ol' Joe and his book I felt horrible and never believed it. I feel like the mission was an incredibly aggressive sales pitch for Mormonism. I was required to keep statistical data that was reported to the HQ every week. It's honestly like trying to sell a used car with no tires. But I grinned and bore the two year event and "returned with honor." Now I feel really bad because I drove people away from the true Christ (if he actually exists). So God please forgive me.

He is absolutely a God of forgiveness and you have always seen that Mormimonism was a lie... so because you are now free from that, my encouragement to you is simply to seek out God and find Him through His written Word, the Bible. If you read the New Testament like a child... just let it speak to you so you can discern for yourself who God is and what is truth. The KZitem video on Micah Wilder and his testimony while on his LDS mission is very powerful. I'm praying for you, Jeremy! God loves you so much.

@@tonyawhaley1781 Well Tonya I will tell you this. His last words are totally dependent upon which version you read. Right? Let's see... in Matthew he says that the last words of Jesus are: 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Then Matthew says: 50 ¶ Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. Now let us look and see what Mark has to say: 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? So Matthew and Mark say the same thing. Let us see what Luke has to say: 46 ¶ And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. And now for the last testimony of what his last words were... from John: 30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. So there ya have it Tonya. 4 versions, 2 are the same... 2 are different. So let me now ask you. You said I bet you don’t have a clue of his last words on the cross. It is finished. Now you know that that might not have been the last words he said. We really don't know do we????? But I think you would like it to be..

In the Bible we find the Savior making this statement to some those who would not believe. “You are of you Father the devil, he was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth because there IS NO TRUTH IN HIM” the devil never supports those who follow him with spiritual gifts, he is not capable. He may give that which will not last, which is temporal thing, but by and by these thing fade away. He cannot enlighten with spiritual truth or make you have feeling like the Holy Ghost, again he is not capable of this kind of love, which love come from our Heavenly Father.

We agreed to just not talk about religion. But my wife has never passed up the chance to remind me of the huge mistake. And I just can't go on that way. Our marriage isn't a marriage anymore. Not even friendship remains at this point. Pretty miserable living with someone who you no longer have anything in common with. I'm pretty lonely aside from my relationship with my savior. I need a woman in my life. And because of my age and the fact I haven't dated in over 40 years. Just don't know where to start. Pray for me.

Sir, you need Jesus. Jesus said, "Follow Me." Jesus is the good Shepherd. Jesus will never let you down. John 10:27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; 28 and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. Jesus is my substitute (i.e. Isaiah 53:4-6). He is way more than my example. A substitute does it for us. An example shows us how but we must still do it. He personally paid the penalty for all my sin. As a result, of His mercy I want to obey His commandments. Jesus as my righteousness, as our law-keeper (i.e. Romans 5:19, 1 Corinthians 1:3; Isaiah 61:10) The biblical truth is that Jesus kept the law for us I know for sure that I have been completely forgiven (i.e. Hebrews 10:14-17) and am accepted by God (i.e. 1 Peter 2:9). I know God is with me, providing and protecting me (i.e. Romans 8:31-39, Psalm 23). I know for sure that when I die I will live eternally with Heavenly Father (i.e. Philippians 1:23). I have no doubts because my acceptance by God depends entirely on Jesus’ work for me and he has already accomplished it (John 19:30). kzitem.info/news/bejne/02ajyZ9_cYqXn20

Mormons are legendary for their "newspeak" . as a jr high kid I was told not to tell people what church I attended, but to invite kids to church. That people would prejudge us without getting to know us...they were right. In high school i went to seminary classes before school, they had us study the KJV in my sophomore year. I kept reading it and by my senior year had many difficult questions and deep misgivings about what they were saying to outsiders vs. what they were teaching me, as i was preparing for missions, we had been to the temple and participated in baptism for the dead, and that KJV kept coming up, you know, John 3:16&17...Eph 2: 8-10...stuff like that...so I started asking questions. The questions were not welcome. And after a period of time, I wasn't either. Fast forward 2 years I join the Marines...on Sunday if you go to church you can escape the watchful eye of the drill instructors for 2 hrs! So I went to the LDS service...within 2 weeks of filling out the visitors card, tha minister in charge met me at the door and explained where all the other denominations met...I was blackballed! Not that I'm hurt, just a fun example of LDS love....the holy spirit got ahold of me a few years later, and I'm saved now. Pray for your LDS frieds, the indoctrination theye been through is powerful...they're convinced if they lose their membership they're eternally cursed...it's sad really, no assurance of salvation.

@@dukeball4ever1 I would say the problem is the church. The church wants you to worship a god that was once a man, wants you to make fun of Jesus Christ and say that he is the brother of Lucifer and wants you to believe another gospel. The Bible calls this idolatry, blasphemy and believing another gospel damns you to eternal torment in hell. Gal. 1:8 I had four LDS missionaries in my home and they wanted me to read the Book of Mormon and pray about it and God would automatically tell me it is true. I showed them from the word of God that I do not pray to their heavenly father who was once a man, so I would not get the answer that they would get. I worship the Creator. The true and living God the Father, who loves you and created you, was never once a man. Job 9:32 “In truth I know that this is so; But how can a man be in the right before God? “For He is not a man as I am that I may answer Him, That we may go to court together. I Tim. 1:17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. The true and living God was never once a man. He exists by His own power. He is self-existent. He lives outside of the time, space and matter because He created time, space and matter. He has no mother or father, does not need air, food, water, sex, sleep, shelter, clothing, etc.. He is omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, immutable, infinitely holy, eternal and so much more. The highest heavens cannot contain Him. He created Adam out of the dust of the ground. No wife needed. No pre existence. Why don't you worship your Creator? Jesus Christ never said you had to believe the Book of Mormon was true to get into heaven. Jesus Christ never said you had to believe Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God to get into heaven. Jesus Christ never said there was salvation only in the LDS church.

I was recently asked come to their church under the guise of Christianity. I had no idea they were Mormons until I got there. Soon as they talked about going to temple, gold plates and Joseph smith. I was totally confused because I know true Christians do not believe in that. Then one of their missionaries was talking to me and opened their bible and at the bottom it said Mormon. That’s when I was even more puzzled because I had no idea about Mormonism. Literally recently I am learning about it and another missionary asked me what my religious background is, in front of their followers. When I said I was raised in Islam but I don’t agree with the religion. That’s when one of their followers told me it’s all the same and most religions come from the Middle East have similar beliefs. So later through text I asked their missionary if they practice polygamy, which I am totally against and one of the reasons I don’t subscribe to Islam, the missionary told me they used to do it under the directions from God. So I have been telling them I’m busy and don’t have time to come over for “bible” study. Honestly I’m kind of afraid to offend them so I’m trying to respectfully decline their offer to “save my soul.” Thank you for exposing who they are because I almost fell into that cult but luckily I always do my research before committing to anything. 😅 you’re right they definitely lie about a lot of things until you catch them in their lies.

What's helped me honestly is accepting that the church's history is, in fact, not squeaky clean. The church has been working to be more transparent in recent years which is awesome, and I welcome it! But for so many years church leaders encouraged a perfectly tidy vision of church history, and it was simply not a complete picture. Prophets were never perfect people, many church leaders have said and done questionable things, members have wrongly acted in the name of the church, and so on. However, the church is in a constant process of receiving revelation to improve upon it's past and to advance forward. I've found comfort in the fact that Christ himself is perfect, and that he chooses to work through imperfect people to build his kingdom. This means that sometimes mistakes are made, people are hurt, and reputations are marred. But this doesn't mean that Christ's gospel is untrue, or that the church he's established on earth is unworthy of our membership. It just means that we still have work to do to learn from the mistakes of our past and the past of the church. My Dad would take me and my brothers and sisters to Church history sites while we were growing up. Plural marriage... Always knew about that. Bank failure in Kirtland... Always knew about that. Problems Saints had with the pro-slavery Missouri militia... Always knew about that. Smith destroying the Expositor, then getting protected and exonerated by the Nauvoo courts, then killed for it... Always knew about that. Young was a controversial leader who harbored racist ideologies while also leading The Saints... Always knew about that. History was part of my life. And I knew about those things when I had a miraculous experience as a teen, and felt the Spirit of God, and knew The Church was true. I still had a hard time as a missionary when I encountered anti-Mormon materials. Some of it is asked in a way that makes the antagonism not necessarily a question that is easy to answer. And sometimes anti-Mormons did not allow an answer, or tried to frame what they expected the answer to be. Sometimes the honest answer is, "I have faith." Sometimes that is the honest answer. I think sometimes Saints think that there is an easy answer for everything, and there isn't and antagonists play that to their advantage. I guess it was and is easier to me because I was exposed to antagonistic material and the more difficult aspects of Church history prior to my conversion. It would probably be harder for someone who was converted, then experienced anti-Mormon material. The scriptures are clear that spiritual things can only truly be understood through a spiritual lens. Take the spiritual lens out of the equation (which is what antagonists do) and it is harder to explain or justify the controversial aspects of Church history. Smiths plural marriages... Taken in the context against Biblical plural marriages is understandable (to me). It was practiced in the Bible. It was practiced by Smith and Young and the early Latter-Day Church. Bank failure in Kirtland.... Smith was trying to help people, and there was a broad global recession at the same time. Lots of banks failed. Smith and many others lost everything with everyone else. Tragic. Sad. But The Church now has safeguards (lol) against recession and financial loss, and the current Church assets have to be understood against Church history of The Church being destitute in Kirtland, assets taken in Missouri, and assets left in Illinois. Smith translating The Book of Mormon and Book of Abraham... Smith had power and spiritual insights and gifts you and I and Egyptologists or antagonists to The Church do not have access to-- or really an understanding of (without a spiritual lens). If you want to know The Book of Mormon is true then you have to pray to God. That is where the spiritual answer to the Book of Mormon is found. That is not an answer that satisfies many antagonists to The Church. Despite my sincere efforts to understand Jesus Christ, I find myself facing questions from others who interpret the Bible differently. As for how it all ends, I believe it remains a mystery until God chooses to reveal it. Until then, the quest for understanding continues. Imagine having a personal spiritual experience, feeling its goodness deeply within yourself, only to have someone else speak against it. In such moments, it may seem as though the very essence of what you felt or believed in-the spirit-has been called into question. This raises profound questions: Is God truly real? Could it be that the spirit is deceiving us? Do we genuinely experience the love of God? If God will punish me of believing on something is not true or believe someone saying something that you belong in a wrong faith. So be it!

Jesus said in Luke The law and the prophets were until John now its the kingdom of God and everyone is pressing into it. There's no more prophets. The veil was torn in the temple and that signified open access to God because Jesus brought a better covenant. My favorite scripture is Hebrews 10:14-19 and 1 John 5:10-13. It tells you everything you need to know.

I grew up in a small southern Utah town, and was one of 9 non members in a class of 48 kids. I received “extra credit” in high school from a teacher by agreeing to meet with the missionaries at her home. I showed up with all sorts of questions about these things you’re mentioning, and the things I didn’t agree with about the religion. The missionaries had not only ZERO answers for the questions I had, but they, as missionaries, hadn’t heard of 90% of these principles their precious religion had been built on. I transferred out of this teachers class shortly after she chewed me out for how badly I “embarrassed” her in front of the missionaries.

It's Me Jessie I think this is where it gets tricky for actual Christians in understanding what Mormons believe around Christ. Because true Christians worship Christ but Mormons only really view him as their Messiah or Savior but not their God. The Heavenly Father of *this* Earth is their God and the only one they treat as such. Jesus and the Holy Ghost are instruments of God and aren't "deserving" of the same sort of treatment. Did I worship Jesus as a Mormon? Absolutely not. In fact, it was one of the big issues I started to have as I got older (I was raised Mormon). Mormons will point to "Jesus Christ" being in their name and they truly think that's sufficient. It's not. At all. They don't emphasis Jesus nearly as much as Christian churches do. They respect and revere their version of Christ but he is only a god to them no THE god. The funny thing is for them to push back on the idea that they are polytheist means they have to admit they don't worship Christ. And I know this will be unpopular but I went Catholic after leaving Mormonism. However, I am always so happy to see any former Mormon turn to Jesus and the Trinity. Catholics acknowledge the baptism of Protestants because Protestants are correct in their belief in God. As a former Mormon I had to be baptised into Catholicism because, well, I was never a Christian. I was never baptised in the name of our true Lord.

I want to clarify- like with most thing Mormons use familiar terms that mean something different to them. Many will likely tell you they worship Christ. My argument is that they don't. They don't pray to Christ, for example, only to God in Christ's name. The "worship" of Mormonism looks very different from the worship of those who believe in the Trinity.

@@margaretphillips1137 Yes, I understand the concept of what you said and that was my understanding as well. I think you adding the point that Mormons saying that they're not Polytheistic means they have to deny worship of the Mormon Christ was a major point. My Mormon friends do not agree with what you told me (or should I say, don't *admit* what you told me) about Jesus. They all tell me that he is absolutely a God and equal with Heavenly Father and that they worship him. I never know when my Mormon friends are actually being completely honest with me. Sometimes I believe that they are being honest because maybe they just don't have all the answers and don't fully know how to answer. But then other times I feel like I'm being deceived. When talking about doctrine, I get the answers like, "Yes, we absolutely believe that. The same as you do!" But I know what they're saying is false and that they don't believe that at all. *sigh* It's exhausting. Anyways.. I appreciate your explanation and the time you took to write. And had I left Mormonism and converted to a Christian denomination, I absolutely believe in getting baptized again for real. 🙂 ..Baptized into a Bible-believing faith. And though I disagree with Roman Catholicism, I don't doubt that there are Catholics who are truly born again and who have fully accepted the true Gospel message of the Bible and Biblical Salvation. I do disagree with all works-based religions as well as the mediators placed between God and man, such as priests and the Pope and all. The Gospel message of the New Testament is so clear that Jesus is our mediator with the Father and that we can go directly to Him in prayer and in relationship. And Ephesians 2:8-9 tells us that it's not by our works that we're saved but through our faith in Jesus, by the grace of God and as a free gift from Him.. not of works lest any man should boast. But anyway.. just sharing my beliefs. Glad you commented!

I saw something on KZitem that I had never known before about Joseph Smith. I have not researched or verified this, but if it's true it very much impacts the credibility of Mormonism. The KZitem video made the claim that typhoid swept through the Smith family while Joseph was six years old. The disease initially settled in a gland in his armpit which a doctor then lanced and drained with no pain medication. The typhoid then was said to become systemic finally settling in the tibia of his leg. From the report, there were three separate occasions where they cut open his leg, with no pain medication or anesthesia, on three occasions and scraped the infection off the bone and out of the muscles. The psychologist stated that this sort of trauma in early childhood would cause dissociation from reality, and that this could be a lifelong issue. If this is true, it makes me see Joseph Smith in a different light - not as a liar and con man, but as a human being suffering PTSD, and deflecting difficulty or trauma by fantasizing. This, however, does not change the fact that Mormonism is a man made, false religion, and people caught up in Mormonism would be much better off finding the real Jesus of the Bible.

This is crazy seeing this comment because I was taught that Joseph Smith was sick and the infection went to his leg and the were going to amputate it but it miraculously healed through painful treatments of taking the infection out of his leg. I was taught he was even offered whisky and he turned it down because it wasn't good for him. It would make a lot of sense if the trauma made him have these fantasies. It is fascinating to learn stuff like this after being raised LDS.

T Thinker: Well your conclusion is fantasy with no evidence. How could some psychologist who never met Joseph Smith make such an outrageous diagnosis and conclusion? lol Here are some facts with corroborating evidence and witnesses that would stand up in court. Joseph and Oliver were visited by John the Baptist, Peter, James, John, Jesus Christ, Moses, Paul, and Elijah--"In the mouths of two or three witnesses shall every word be established" according to the bible. At least five people saw the angel Moroni and wrote a testimony of that fact. 13 people saw and handled the gold plates and wrote a testimony of that fact. Numerous people observed the translation process of the Book of Mormon wherein Joseph Smith gazed into the Urim and Thummim, saw the Egyptian figures in the upper portion of the device and the English translation below which he read aloud so that Oliver Cowdery could write it down. Oliver then read it back to make sure he had written it correctly. If he had, the images would disappear and new images appeared and so on. When they returned from a break, Joseph never asked where they left off because he had no idea. He just began reading what was in the Urim and Thummim again. Joseph did not know Egyptian and could not have possibly translated it in normal translation processes. The entire text of some 525 pages was translated in 60. Joseph said it was translated "by the gift and power of God." Try reading the book and ask yourself if such a book could have been written by anyone in 60 days without any revisions. Unlike the bible the Book of Mormon comes with a guarantee that "if you will read with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truthfulness of it unto you by the power of the Holy Ghost." Millions, including myself, testify that they have received that testimony. There is and always has been only one Jesus Christ, the son of God. He is spoken of as the coming Messiah in the Old Testament and the Redeemer and Savior in the New Testament. It is he who revealed his word to the prophets of the tribe of Joseph which are found in the Book of Mormon. See Ezekiel 37 It is he who said in the New Testament that "other sheep I have which are not of this fold, them also I must bring." He visited the tribe of Joseph and declared himself to be the Christ, the risen Lord. You can read all about his visit and his teachings in the Book of Mormon. He also told them he still had other tribes to visit--the Lost 10 tribes described in the bible. Jesus Christ began fulfilling the prophecy of Acts 3:19-21by calling a prophet (see Amos 3:7) restoring the fulness of his gospel a second time, restoring priesthood authority so the saving ordinances of baptism and giving the Gift of the Holy Ghost could be accomplished, restoring His church with the same organization and authority it had when he was on the earth, and naming his church. There is nothing man made about it. It's "built on a foundation of apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone" just as it was in the primitive church.

Spiritual, physical, financial, health and put me in a situation of nearly being murdered by a psychotic serial killer. I am not exaggerating. The last straw was when I was told that I still owned and was emotionally attached to too many nice things from my past and I must sell them and now live a sparse life including getting rid of my pets and I could not put in a vegetable garden and small chicken coop on my property that I own free and clear. If I didn’t obey the bishop who was a lawyer by day, with regards to this demand, he would have me committed to an institution for elderly destitute people. I am a well educated widow of 62 who has all my mental faculties about me. That was when I demanded to be removed from the church roles. If I actually accomplish getting my name off the rolls then when I die, my spirit will be sent to “Outer Darkness “(Mormon version of hell) where I will never see my husband or family again. And in this life time I will be considered an apostate and must be shunned by other Mormons.

I have been where you are and I am telling you that it can and will get worse if you accept their help, the strings attached to that help will tie you up and bind you in every way. There’s other places to get help that don’t come with strings. The food pantries at real churches may not compare to the storehouse, but you will find that freedom is a very good taste. I promise you.

Hey Jessie I am glad Jesus saved you, I just left their church, was only there for 6 months and I was baptised under their church when I was 14 years old. I didn't step foot back in their, or any church over the course of the next 30 years. Jesus has been speaking to me through scripture since I met these two sisters here in June this year. I attended their church for 6 months and barley read the BoM they gave me, it just didn't feel right. Why didn't they hand me the Bible to read first, or with the BoM? I am 45 years old now and for the first time in my life I have never been as close to God as I am today, he saved me from going deeper in their religion, totally unexpected. Read the Bible folks, it is the WORD. You don't need any other book.

They've been following my family for months. I asked the missionaries not to loose time with me from the beginning. They didn't care. The neighbors who are Mormons were so kind invited us to their home to the temple and their outdoor activities. I did it because I just moved to Utah and wanted to meet people. Knowing that the temple's designed and rituals are scary. My husband talked to their leader and asked them not to come to my home. They sent other missionaries and pretended they didn't know this. I stopped opening my door until one day after receiving many phone text I said ok I will tell them what I truly think so they will stop coming, so I said I have many questions lets talk about it on an online meeting. On the online meeting I explained many things that you mentioned on the video that trying to become and be worshipped as God was Lucifer's sin and said this doctrine is a complete Blasphemy. They said ohh I wish you mentioned this before and keep insisting in coming back to keep talking about the book of Mormon. OMG! I cannot believe it, they just don't care about my opinion. They're brainwashed puppets. I feel sorry for those young man spending two years away from their families. At the end they will be accountable for this teaching. This Sunday they came again and were knowing the door. They have an aggressive recruitment strategy a cult clearly designed by the devil himself.

Anyway, first, unless it was an openhouse, there is no way you would be allowed into the temple. You would, however, be more than welcome into a chapel, where we hod our Sunday worship meetings. Nothing scary or ritualistic about those. Second, we do not aspire to become a god to be worshipped. WE are not to worship any god but our Heavenly Father. Third, they talk about the Book of Mormon because that is what the whole thing is based on. If you have a tetimony of the Book of Mormon, everything else will fall into place. Furth, they are not to knowingly kep coming to you, if you say to stay away. But then, I don't know the whole story, so I can only speculate. So, IF what you say is true, then don't answer the door, or the phone or the texts, put a sign on your door thats says "no solicitations" or something like that.

@anavictoriapb It is sad that you believe what some people tell you. This statement you made and what's her name made is inaccurate. You said: "I explained many things that you mentioned on the video that trying to become and be worshipped as God was Lucifer's sin." That was NOT Lucifer's sin!!! Lucifer's sin was that he did not like the Plan that the Father made. He wanted to send mankind to the earth and NOT give him free agency. He wanted to limit the agency that was given to him... therefore he promised NOT ONE SOUL WOULD BE LOST. And he would be the Savior. And whereas Jesus said he would do the will of the Father... AND he would give the Glory that he would receive back to the Father. Lucifer however, wanted to keep the Glory that would be given him for being the Savior. When the Father chose Jesus to be the Savior... Lucifer rebelled and the war in Heaven began. There was 1/3 of all Father's children who had agreed with Lucifer's plan. And they wanted that plan. The other 2/3 wanted nothing to do with Lucifer's plan. And the battle began. And of course we know what the results are. So... you didn't have the story right. And you are perpetuating a lie and continue pass that lie around. Lucifer was not interested in being worshiped like Father was worshiped. He was the one that wanted to be worshiped like Jesus would be worshiped. So you really got it all wrong!!!

Thank you for making this video. I grew up Mormon, and it's interesting to me how much I didn't even know about the Mormon church when I was there (which I think is because they were giving me the 'Christian' version of the Mormon church) and I think anyone saying you're lying or sound angry in this video (which you don't sound angry at all in my opinion) were probably fed the same watered down Mormonism I was also taught. A couple things to add that you didn't mention in this video are as follows: The Book of Mormon also says that Jesus would be born in Jerusalem in Alma 7:10 if I remember right. (Though the Book of Mormon is the most famous and plagiarized fanfiction on earth so that is part of why there are parts that sound very similar to the Bible) In Joseph Smith's translation of Exodus 33: 20, he disproves his entire religion by saying that no man has ever or will ever see the face of God and live. And this was the bible verse that made my dad leave the only religion he'd ever had in his life at that point. The verse is God talking to Moses in the burning bush and telling Moses that no man has ever seen the face of God and lived. I had never seen a crucifix (or cross that someone was wearing) until I was in middle school when one of my older friends in the Mormon church told me that we don't focus on the sad and horrible injustice that happened to Jesus, we only focus on the happiness after. I had actually watched The Passion of the Christ when it came out on DVD and it meant nothing to me, I didn't know who Jesus was, or what the movie meant at all, which looking back on all of it now just breaks my heart, especially now that I'm Catholic (which by the way, for anyone who wants to talk badly about the Catholic church, that's fine they have done horrible things no one's denying that (I actually found myself loving the Catholic Church even more because the second the Diocese I'm with received any reports of a Priest I know molesting young boys, they immediately took action, excommunicated him, and have asked if anyone has any more evidence to come forward - the Mormon Church, on the other hand, is still trying to say they've never done anything wrong) but remember the history while you cry about the books in the bible - you wouldn't have your bible at all without the Catholic Church who put it together first and then it was translated into other languages by Martin Luther (but he couldn't have translated it if there wasn't already an existing bible). The word Catholic, derived from the Greek, means "universal." meaning no matter where you are in the world, if you have a Roman Catholic Missile and are attending mass, you will know what the readings are no matter where you are in the world and can read the readings in your own language (sounds a lot like that verse talking about every nation, race, people, and tongue in Revelations). Godan B. Hinkley said in General Conference that the Jesus Christ of the Mormon church is not the same as the Jesus Christ who saves from every sin that the Christians believe in. When you said there are about a hundred different sects of Mormonism, my very first thought was "That seems like a low estimate." Again, I wanted to say thank you for this video and for spreading the truth of what the Mormon church believes, not the lies they want the world to believe about themselves. I hope you never let the haters stop you from spreading the truth, because at the end of the day, it is the truth, and the truth can't be changed no matter how much they want it to.

@janessaburlingham2489 The Book of Mormon does NOT say that Jesus would be born in Jerusalem. Did you actually go and read Alma 7:10? Here, let me share it with you: 10 And behold, he shall be born of Mary, at Jerusalem which is the land of our forefathers, she being a virgin, a precious and chosen vessel, who shall be overshadowed and conceive by the power of the Holy Ghost, and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God. So... tell me... when you look at a map of Jerusalem... where is Bethlehem? From the center of Jerusalem to the center of Bethlehem it is 5.5 miles If you were to look at the time period in the Book of Mormon that was being written about in Alma... you will see that it has been about 530 years earlier that Lehi had arrived in this new land. These people 530 years later never saw Jerusalem or Bethlehem. When they say AT Jerusalem... they were quite accurate never having seen a map of the Holy Land. But they were told where they came from. The Jesus of the Christian world is a triune God. That means that they say the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are ONE God made of the same substance. That is NOT true. They are three distinct and individual beings. So Gordon B. Hinkley was right. Their understanding of Jesus is behind the times. They are trying to rectify the God of the Old Testament with the God of the New Testament. Before Jesus came to earth... the ONLY God they knew was called Jehovah. Then Jesus is born, grows up and he is telling people he is Jehovah. So if he is the God of the Old Testament... who is this God that is his Father? This was a problem for the Christians. They did not have any explanation but they now had more than ONE God. So 325 years after the death of Jesus... 326 of the Bishops got together and voted on the creation of who Jesus was in relationship to the Father. 2 of the Bishops did not agree and they were excommunicated from the Church. And what did they agree on?? That there is only ONE God... and they are all made of the same substance. The Christian world states: There is but one only living and true God, who is infinite in being and perfection, a most pure spirit, invisible, without body, parts, or passions. We do NOT believe the same way the Christian world does. We know more than they do. We have been given more light and knowledge. And yet... like in the time of Christ... people rejected the further light and knowledge that Jesus gave to the Jews.

Hi George, I don’t have much time to do a full rebuttal of all of the claims here, but I’m happy to try to shed some light. Do you mind if I connect with you via email? The overarching claim of this video is that the missionaries of the church will lie or omit parts of the gospel, in essence tricking people into joining the church. Its just not true. I was a missionary for two years and serve now as a ward missionary in my community. I’m well versed in the doctrine of the church, as well as the church history. The church is very transparent about its doctrine and its history. See the Joseph Smith Papers project josephsmithpapers.org, Saints history.lds.org/saints?lang=eng&cid=rdb_v_saints_eng, church history topics history.lds.org/, gospel topic essays www.lds.org/topics/essays?lang=eng, and churchofjesuschrist.org which houses all teachings from the church. The church and its members are good, honest people and I would never omit or lie to prospective members. The way she paints the church and its members is totally out of character. “Your church is wrong. Your beliefs are an abomination to God. Your pastor is a hireling of Satan. Salvation is found only in our church. There is no way to achieve any form of salvation outside of the church.” This is not true. Especially the part about the pastor. Just not true. The church believes in an apostasy and restoration. www.lds.org/topics/apostasy?lang=eng#_ www.mormon.org/site/jesus-christs-church/jesus-church-restored “They will not tell you that they are wearing temple garments”. Not true: www.lds.org/media-library/video/2014-01-1460-sacred-temple-clothing?lang=eng kzitem.info/news/bejne/lqystGing4RzgGU Although this is a sacred and personal practice, so it usually isn’t spoken of lightly and frequently. “Temple garments are meant to protect against evil…YOU”. Nope, not you. Nothing like that is remotely taught. As you will see in the videos above, garments are an outward reflection of an inward commitment to God. “They will not tell you about their temple rites at all.” Not true. See videos for example: kzitem.info/news/bejne/p5pu2oqOh2uqaYY kzitem.info/news/bejne/yHdsx4ifhnaKm6Q kzitem.info/news/bejne/s7B5uaaDg5qImIY kzitem.info/news/bejne/2Ymf3aGPs4WKh4I “Temple worship is taken from Freemasonry and Satanism cults.” Freemasonry was influential in the temple endowment.

“Familiar spirits are good and Book of Mormon has a familiar spirit.” I’m not even sure where this comes from. Members of the church believe in the Holy Ghost. www.lds.org/topics/holy-ghost?lang=eng “Mormon women find salvation only through their husbands.” This is just not true. www.lds.org/topics/women-in-the-church?lang=eng “Mormon women will be pregnant through all of eternity so they can populate planets.” Not true and not based in much of anything. This is designed by critics based on the idea that God intends for us to become like him. Creating and populating planets is as good as a description of heaven for members of the church as sitting on a cloud playing a harp is for other Christians. Its just not true. “They intend to become Gods themselves one day.” “Heavenly Father over their own planet”. Heavenly Father over their own planet is not true. Intend to become Gods one day is spun in a half truth way. We believe that we are heirs to God, joint heirs with Christ as the Bible teaches. Here is a great article that would certainly help: www.lds.org/topics/becoming-like-god?lang=eng “Exaltation is done through works and obeying the church.” Not true. We obey Christ’s commandments because of our love for him. By believing in Jesus and repenting of sins, we are saved by grace. All are saved by Christ in that every person will be resurrected and all are saved from Adam’s transgression. From the Book of Mormon: 2 Nephi 10:24 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, reconcile yourselves to the will of God, and not to the will of the devil and the flesh; and remember, after ye are reconciled unto God, that it is only in and through the grace of God that ye are saved. “They intend to have many wives in heaven, not just one.” No, I intend to have one. This claim comes from the polygamy practiced in the early church. You can read about that here: www.lds.org/topics/plural-marriage-in-the-church-of-jesus-christ-of-latter-day-saints?lang=eng “God is one of infinite Gods out there.” Paul said this in the New Testament, but also said “but for us there is one God.” That is our belief on this. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the one true God. “They are polytheists” Not the case. I highly recommend listening to this talk to get a better understanding. www.lds.org/general-conference/2007/10/the-only-true-god-and-jesus-christ-whom-he-hath-sent?lang=eng “They believe that God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost are three completely different Gods” Half truth. The scriptures teach that they are one God, but separate beings. This should be logical to anyone who has read the Bible. See the talk above for this as well. “They will not tell you that you were once a spirit child of the pre-existence.” Of course we will! There is even a cool scroll graphic here: www.mormon.org/resources/plan-of-salvation “Heavenly Father and his multiple wives populated the spirit world.” This is again a half truth. We don’t believe God has multiple wives. We do believe that we are children of God as taught by Jesus and the prophets.

“Baptism for the dead.” “Three levels of heaven”. These are true. Here are some resources: Baptisms for the dead kzitem.info/news/bejne/s7B5uaaDg5qImIY What happens after we die? kzitem.info/news/bejne/lmOc26h_bamCkqg “Virgin Mary was not a virgin at all. God came down and had sexual relations with her.” Not true. We believe as the scriptures say that she was a virgin. “They have taught that Jesus had three wives and children of his own. Jesus was a polygomist according to Mormons.” Not true. All we know of Jesus’ life on earth is recorded in the New Testament. “God is an exalted man and lives on a planet near the star Kolob”. Half truth. Joseph Smith believed God was an exalted man. Kolob is a metaphor in the scriptures for Christ. Kolob is described as the star being nearest to God and provides light to all of his creations. People spin it to sound weird and scare people away. “Jesus was Lucifer’s brother.” True. All spirits were children of God. “Heavenly council vote to determine Jesus or Lucifer as savior.” Not true. God presented his plan of salvation for his children. Lucifer and others rebelled against that plan and were cast out of heaven. “There are over 100 divisions within mormonism.” I don’t know about this. There are different break off groups, but there is only one Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and those groups are not affiliated. “They will not tell you that their scriptures contradict.” “Mormons will side with restoration scriptures over the Bible.” I don’t believe that the scriptures contradict, at least not in any significant way. The bible contradicts itself sometimes, but that is easily understood as it was written by different authors. It might be fair to say members of the church will side with the Book of Mormon over the Bible, but I think more accurately is that they will side with their interpretation of the Bible over someone else’s interpretation of the Bible. All Christians do this. “Not one scrap of archeological evidence for Book of Mormon.” Sort of. But what evidence would you expect? www.fairmormon.org/archive/publications/archaeological-evidence-and-the-book-of-mormon “State of Utah has higher than national average abuse, suicide, etc.” This appeals to emotion. Many scientific studies have concluded that this has nothing to do with the church, and actually church attendance significantly decreases all of these categories. “Joseph Smith was in the occult.” Just not true. “Joseph Smith money digging” True, but out of context. “Joseph Smith freemasonry” True, but out of context. I really enjoyed this book as a biography of Joseph Smith: www.amazon.com/dp/B000XUBEZM/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 “First vision accounts.” True. But these aren’t any more contradicting than the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are contradicting.

I live in "Mormon Central" and it kind of drive me nuts. So, having been stuck here for years, I've decided to check them out, see what's going on, and what they believe. They are the nicest, kindest group of people. They talk about the Lord, dress nice, are very family oriented, don't drink alcohol, do not curse, and so on. Their visitor center is centered around a large statue of Jesus Christ. The visitor's center is very pretty, and I really like going there because of the flowers. They are more Christian like than any church left in this area -- and we are loaded with churches. However, I am a Christian. I believe in being nice to them, being kind to them, but cannot get out of them most of these beliefs (in this video). They act Christian, and they claim that they believe the same that we do. There are many sects here, and keeping track of who believes what is almost impossible. For the most part, they seem harmless. I can't help but wonder how many of them know about these beliefs, or if they would believe the facts on this video if it was told to them. They would probably have to look them up -- and then what would they think? Would they think Mormonism is a lie, or that Christianity is a lie? They hate the name "Mormon" now and want to be called Christians. They claim that Christ is their center. But I believe Jesus Christ is at the bottom when it comes to holy authorities. I want to steer them away from Mormonism and towards Christ. Not sure how to do that at the moment, but I'm working on it by trying to understand them a little.

They don't tell you these things she is saying because they AREN'T true! She is misinterpreting them and twisting words to sound strange and wicked. She has no idea of what she is professing to be the truth's taught by members of the LDS Church and are her interpretations of them. You need to find out for yourself because it IS true!

I’m amazed that so many people have joined this cult. It’s absolutely creepy what they do. My cousins kid joined this cult. He met a Mormon girl and she got him to join her cult. He wanted a girlfriend really bad. He’s a smart guy but he looks like Napoleon Dynamite. The kids at school called him that. So when he met her he switched religions and got married. In a weird ceremony that his family couldn’t go to. If your religion is so secretive that family members can’t go that’s a huge red flag 🚩 I’ve seen the secret recording videos of these ceremonies they perform to get behind a curtain. It’s very similar to Freemason rituals. I suppose when you are born into something like that you just don’t know any better.

I was involved also, but once I knew everything she said that it’s ACCURATE! I step out right away. I also feel so bad for those who are still involved in this cult and rituals practices.. They are sooo blind! Even reading the gospel essays and the CES letter , still believe this cult and its lies ugh! They don’t understand that believing by faith it’s TRUE but believing in a blinded faith it’s really, seriously bad! I do believe by faith and I believed by faith even way before I started searching in internet for information about Jerusalem and it’s places.. . Because when the Bible talks about a place usually says “ and it’s name it’s *** till now” means that the same place it’s still there with the same name as the Bible says! Amazing! Love you Jesus. Knowing all these I knew that the God of the Bible is more real than I ever thought! Romans 10:11 KJV For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. I believe what the God of the Bible says because He’s accurate, He’s been proving his word to be true ( smith is a false prophet, Deuteronomy 13:1-5) History proves the Bible , Jerusalem proves the Bible , places in Jerusalem proves the Bible , language proves the Bible , our awful Present we are living proves the Bible, BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS proves the Bible ( gentiles ) Etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, ETC, proves the Bible !! What proves the Book of Mormon ? Only 1% why ? Because smith plagiarized the KJ Bible so those parts in the Book of Mormon are fine because he got it from the authenticity of the living word (Bible ) He used the Bible as the meat to trap inocente children with deceived parents. No archeology, history, Egypt reformed? Never existed.. etc, etc, disproves the Mormon book. What proves the book of Abraham? Oh, the funerary texts smith pretended to translated ? If he didn’t get those right then smith proves the Bible in Deuteronomy 13:1-5 and those passages disproves Joseph smith. This are my thoughts, how in the world people still says “ internet doesn’t say everything right “ it’s true , but if EVIDENCE, places , nature, history disprove and revel a lie! Then internet it’s right along with history and other specific information about the subject . Smith made it all up, plagiarized, is a false prophet, lier , and a con-man period.

@@Longe If you have the time to read it, here is a previous comment I posted where I outlined 4 things she said that were false: 1. “The fact of the matter is they are not going to tell you anything to do with their church, or anything to do with their doctrine, or anything to do with Mormonism and their lifestyle.” This assertion is blatantly false, but I think I understand what she’s getting at. She has simply made an exaggeration error. Replace each instance of the word “anything” with “everything” and it becomes a valid criticism; or better yet, insert the word “controversial” after each instance of “anything”. The problem with this criticism is that when you remove the exaggeration, it loses its bite. Let’s briefly analyze one implication of the original quote. She said that they will not tell you anything to do with their church or their doctrine - this implies that they are teaching you things they do not believe in order to deceive you. Sounds deceptive and terrible, right? It would be terrible, but this is simply untrue - everything they teach is Mormon doctrine, they just leave out controversial and complex doctrines. So how does this make her criticism lose its bite? Because every religion and every person does this routinely. If you’re trying to convert someone to Christianity, you don’t bring up the fact that there is a talking donkey in the Old Testament, or any of the other strange or complex doctrines. Likewise, if you are on your first date with someone, you probably won’t tell the other person that you once had an STD, or that you suffer from chronic depression, etc. The real crime the missionaries and the church commit in regards to information control is that they heavily discourage researching the church via independent sources; they only want you to research the church using church resources. Unfortunately, due to how difficult it is to find unbiased analysis of Mormon doctrines (take this video for example), I can almost sympathize with their cautiousness. 2. “They will not tell you that they believe that your church is wrong,” Mormon missionaries will tell basically everyone they teach that other churches are wrong - this is fundamental to teaching the restoration of the gospel - although some missionaries may phrase it in a more polite way. 3. “They will not tell you that … salvation is found only through their church … there is absolutely no way to achieve any form of salvation outside of the LDS church.” This is almost completely false. Replace the word “salvation” with “exaltation” in her quote and it becomes less false. In Mormon terms exaltation means becoming like God. It is true that Mormon doctrine states that only valiant members of the LDS church may be exalted. However, exaltation is only one form of salvation. Nearly everyone else that has ever lived will either go to the terrestrial kingdom or the telestial kingdom, according to Mormon doctrine (see Doctrine & Covenants Section 76: 50-116). The terrestrial and telestial kingdoms are kingdoms of glory, and are considered a form of salvation. On top of all this is the fact that Mormon missionaries have to teach you this before you are baptized. The doctrine of the kingdoms of glory is covered as the last topic in the missionary lesson called “The Plan of Salvation” (www.lds.org/study/manual/preach-my-gospel-a-guide-to-missionary-service/lesson-2-the-plan-of-salvation?lang=eng). And missionaries are specifically instructed to teach that only valiant Mormons who keep their covenants can enter the celestial kingdom. 4. “They will not tell you that you were once a spirit child of the pre-existence.” Once again, this is simply not true. In fact, Mormon missionaries have to teach people that they were spirit children of God in the pre-existence prior to baptism. The doctrine of the pre-existence is taught as the first principle in “The Plan of Salvation” (www.lds.org/study/manual/preach-my-gospel-a-guide-to-missionary-service/lesson-2-the-plan-of-salvation?lang=eng). In summary, let me just say that there are many valid criticisms of Mormonism, and she hits a few of them in this video. However, she is so blatantly incorrect in so many other places that it drowns out any semblance of truth for the video overall. This video is echo-chamber material - designed to further entrench anti-Mormons in their views, and perhaps deter a few uneducated people from investigating the Mormon Church. This video will not convince any educated Mormon to change their mind, because it reeks so strongly of falsehood that they will be unable to detect the hint of truth in the aroma. My advice for the creator of this video is to speak boldly where you have knowledge, but more importantly, seek clarification where you are ignorant.

She thinks (or was taught) that she has to literally "earn" her way to a relationship with God.

@Bob Kupi She hasn't exposed anything yet. I am still waiting. "Secrets the LDS Church won't tell you". What secrets? When you say "un-biblical" I am guessing you are speaking about the mysteries of the Kingdom of God. Jesus taught in parables so what he was talking about if not understood... could not be held against them. Even the Lord taught the Jews the milk of the Gospel... and saved the meat for later. You don't feed babies meat because they can't handle it!! So tell me Bob... what LIES... are you talking about? The only lies will be what you tell her with half truths. A person who does not understand the Gospel and does not understand God. It is Biblical that God will kill the firstborn of Egypt after he hardens the heart of Pharaoh to NOT LET HIS PEOPLE GO. That is in the Bible and that is what makes it Biblical..... but I tell you... It is NOT true. And just because something is NOT in the Bible... does not make it UN-biblical. It is possible that not everything that is true about God is in the Bible. And Bible means Book of Books. The people who are in the Bible never had the whole Bible. The Bible was put together by a group of men who did not receive REVELATION from God. Had these men actually received any revelation... they would have wrote it down and called it REVELATION. And that Bob... is exactly what Joseph Smith did. He received REVELATION from God. He wrote it down... and he called it REVELATION from GOD. Just because you don't believe it... doesn't make it NOT true. It is TRUE.

@@troll-tx4mp The word cult refers to an unorthodox sect whose members distort the original doctrines of the religion. In a Christian context, the definition of a cult is, specifically, “a religious group that denies one or more of the fundamentals of biblical truth.” A cult is a group that teaches doctrines that, if believed, will cause a person to remain unsaved. A cult claims to be part of a religion, yet it denies essential truth(s) of that religion. Therefore, a Christian cult will deny one or more of the fundamental truths of Christianity while still claiming to be Christian. The two most common teachings of Christian cults are that Jesus was not God and that salvation is not by faith alone. A denial of the deity of Christ results in the view that Jesus’ death was insufficient to pay for our sins. A denial of salvation by faith alone results in the teaching that salvation is achieved by our own works. The apostles dealt with cults in the early years of the church: for example, John addresses the teaching of Gnosticism in 1 John 4:1-3. John’s litmus test for godly doctrine was “Jesus Christ has come in the flesh” (verse 2)-a direct contradiction of the Gnostic heresy (cf. 2 John 1:7). The two most well-known examples of cults today are the Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons. Both groups claim to be Christian, yet both deny the deity of Christ and salvation by faith alone. Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons believe many things that are in agreement with or similar to what the Bible teaches. However, the fact that they deny the deity of Christ and preach a salvation by works qualifies them as cults.

Even though many of its members probably are Christian in their hearts & practices, being naive or turning a blind eye to corruption isn’t the Christian thing to do. When I learned about the church’s history it was only the icing on top of the cake.

WHY SO MANY TEXTUAL CHANGES IN THE BOOK OF MORMON ??? These are changes which ALTER the MEANING of the scriptures; these are NOT spelling or grammatical corrections, but TEXTUAL changes; there are many hundreds of them, refer: kzitem.info/news/bejne/1J9m2aBsj6iVZKA carm.org/changes-to-book-of-mormon mit.irr.org/changes-latter-day-scripture kzitem.info/news/bejne/1J9m2aBsj6iVZKA kzitem.info/news/bejne/u4ybu2Rpi2JjaH4 www.mormonhandbook.com/home/5000-changes-to-the-book-of-mormon.html AND www.fairmormon.org/answers/Question:_Why_were_textual_changes_made_to_the_Book_of_Mormon_over_the_years_after_it_was_first_published%3F Here are a few actual EXAMPLES of textual changes: Doctrinal Changes ~ GODHEAD ~ Changes were made to the Book of Mormon after Joseph Smith changed his doctrine from Monotheism to Polytheism......... 1830 original edition 1 Nephi 11:18 And he said unto me: Behold, the virgin which thou seest is the mother of God after the manner of the flesh. >>>1837 and subsequent editions And he said unto me: Behold, the virgin whom thou seest is the mother of the Son of God, after the manner of the flesh. 1830 original edition 1 Nephi 11:21 And the angel said unto me: Behold the Lamb of God, yea, even the Eternal Father. >>>1837 and subsequent editions And the angel said unto me: Behold the Lamb of God, yea, even the Son of the Eternal Father! 1830 original edition 1 Nephi 11:32 And I looked and beheld the Lamb of God, that he was taken by the people, yea, the everlasting God was judged of the world. >>>1837 and subsequent editions And I looked and beheld the Lamb of God, that he was taken by the people; yea, the Son of the everlasting God was judged of the world. 1830 original edition 1 Nephi 13:40 ...that the Lamb of God is the Eternal Father and the Savior of the world... >>>1837 and subsequent editions ...that the Lamb of God is the Son of the Eternal Father, and the Savior of the world... RACISM ~ The church made changes to the Book of Mormon to soften its racism: 1830 original edition 2 Nephi 30:6 And then shall they rejoice; for they shall know that it is a blessing unto them from the hand of God; and their scales of darkness shall begin to fall from their eyes; and many generations shall not pass away among them, save they shall be a white and a delightsome people. >>>1981 edition And then shall they rejoice; for they shall know that it is a blessing unto them from the hand of God; and their scales of darkness shall begin to fall from their eyes; and many generations shall not pass away among them, save they shall be a pure and a delightsome people. CHANGES TO CHAPTER HEADINGS: : 1981 edition 2 Nephi, ch. 5 The Nephites separate themselves from the Lamanites, keep the law of Moses, and build a temple-Because of their unbelief, the Lamanites are cursed, receive a skin of blackness, and become a scourge unto the Nephites. >>>2010 online edition The Nephites separate themselves from the Lamanites, keep the law of Moses, and build a temple-Because of their unbelief, the Lamanites are cursed, receive a skin of blackness cut off from the presence of the Lord, are cursed, and become a scourge unto the Nephites. 1981 edition Mormon, ch. 5 Mormon again leads the Nephite armies in battles of blood and carnage-The Book of Mormon shall come forth to convince all Israel that Jesus is the Christ-The Lamanites shall be a dark, filthy, and loathsome people-They shall receive the gospel from the Gentiles in the latter days. >>>2010 online edition Mormon again leads the Nephite armies in battles of blood and carnage-The Book of Mormon will come forth to convince all Israel that Jesus is the Christ-The Lamanites shall be a dark, filthy, and loathsome people Because of their unbelief, the Lamanites will be scattered, and the Spirit will cease to strive with them-They will receive the gospel from the Gentiles in the latter days. ALTERABLE DECREES ~ The evolving doctrines of the church necessitated editing, for a period, the Book of Mormon's teaching that God's decrees are unalterable. 1830 original edition Alma 29:4 I ought not to harrow up in my desires the firm decree of a just God, for I know that he granteth unto men according to their desire, whether it be unto death or unto life; yea, I know that he allotteth unto men, yea, decreeth unto them decrees which are unalterable, according to their wills, whether they be unto salvation or unto destruction. >>>1837 edition until 1981 I ought not to harrow up in my desires the firm decree of a just God, for I know that he granteth unto men according to their desire, whether it be unto death or unto life; yea, I know that he allotteth unto men, according to their wills, whether they be unto salvation or unto destruction. NOTE: LDS leaders RE-inserted the omitted words (yea, decreeth unto them decrees which are unalterable) into all editions since 1981. It is possible Joseph Smith deleted this portion of the verse because it conflicted with a revelation he claimed to receive in 1831 found in Doctrine & Covenants 56:4,5 "Wherefore I, the Lord, command and revoke, as it seemeth me good; and all of this upon the heads of the rebellious, saith the Lord. Wherefore, I revoke the commandment which was given unto my servants …" The eight words were later re-inserted into the text of Alma 29:4 and are present there today. These are just a few examples of the hundreds of TEXTUAL changes in the Book of Mormon; changes which ALTER the meaning of the scriptures. They cannot be denied --- they are a matter of FACT, of record, of history. I own a copy of the original 1830 printing, and a later edition, just to satisfy myself personally. The changes are deeply shameful, and make a laughing stock of Joseph Smith's original claim "I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on the earth."

I still have the many different translations of the Bible I have in English. They do vary. The Jews have a version of the Old Testament that differs from the one the New Testament always quoted, and when we find New Testament texts the Greek varies from one book of the Bible to the next. Some current Bibles are based on comparing the texts that continue to be found and try to correspond to the earliest texts found.
