James Jewel is my favorite. Or just coming to my breath and feeling it come in and out and loving myself being breathed :-)

I am an ex-mormon, and the Mormons do believe they could be a God of their own planet after death.

"Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." -Colossians 2:8 KJV ✝️⛪️🕊🤍

Yes LDS so believe in celestial Kingdom his of their own planet etc it they won’t admit that to you. They k is it sounds kooky. I think they’re walking back on that now but you’re. It going to get any real honesty

That's admirable point dear pastor Jeff- patience. Which would give supplement key virtue to the message ...and pastor's to muster courage also, to crossing seeming two divides were perfect examples...

Ok dear pastor Jeff you're a step ahead of president Nelson's talk I mean you vibe you really can either way you can resonate or be critical that's admirable of you

The prophets in the Book of Mormon talk about many other writings on plates that are being kept, but the gold plates from which the Book of Mormon was translated were revelations specifically for our day. So why wouldn't such revelations contain words that we would be familiar with at the time the they were to be brought forth to restore the gospel of Jesus Christ? The prophets didn't have to understand what they were writing, they only needed to know what to write. They had other plates written for their day and their understanding. The Book of Mormon had to be for OUR understanding. As far as I'm concerned, God can reveal to his prophets any word from any point in time that he chooses because he knows all things past, present, and future. The revelations a prophet can receive are not limited to THEIR understanding but GOD'S understanding.

James chapter two says that works are necessary for us to be saved. For he says "faith without works is dead" and "the devils also believe and tremble" and says that Abraham was "justified by works" when he obediently offered his son as a sacrifice when commanded by God to do so. Nobody is perfect except Christ, but we are expected to keep his commandments to the best of our ability. God cannot save the disobedient devils, and he cannot save us unless we try to do the works he commanded, because we would be no different than the devils who only believe and do no works. Trying to do the works is what differentiates the saved from the devil. Why is this a concept so difficult for most of the Christian world to understand?

Thanks for doing this, Jeff. Please tell your evang friends to try as well instead of dismissing.

Cool to have him on, good stuff. Also, heard good things from members about the conference you had hosted, well done! Excited to figure out how to find the content online :)

gentiles means the church of jesus christ of latter day saints. gentiles means the church. gentiles means the white man that came

Muy Bueno!

Excellent and productive discussion Jeff. So great when people of differing faiths can have such discussions. I believe this is what God wants His people in the body of Christ to do so we can all come to understand and grow closer to Him.

As a lifelong member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I love to hear the viewpoint of others as they read the articles of faith, thank you for sharing! Your videos help me have more open and understanding conversations with people of other faith as it helps me respect and understand where they are coming from. In regards to the third and fourth AOF, I just wanted to share that the ordinances required for salvation through the atonement of Jesus Christ are only those first ordinances and principles listed in the 4th AOF (Faith, Repentance, Baptism, and receiving the Holy Ghost). Those are what are required to be made clean from our sins and saved from spiritual death (salvation). The ordinances that are performed in temples that you briefly mention, are not part of the basic requirements of salvation, which is why they are not listed in AOF #4. The ordinances performed in temples are a continuation of our covenant relationship with Jesus Christ that help us strive toward exaltation (the highest state of happiness and glory in the celestial realm), but are not required for salvation, rather a choice that we can choose to make if we desire to further that covenant relationship beyond salvation. I believe I’ve heard you mention that you’ve learned about our belief in the different glories of heaven, so hopefully that won’t sound too foreign, but I just wanted to clarify that difference between salvation and exaltation and which ordinances apply to which. Once again, really appreciate the viewpoint you both offer! Thank you!

I loved this! Two people who love God and the Bible but from very different, sometimes conflicting, perspectives. I love watching this respectful, insightful conversation. Thank you Pastor Jeff for taking us seriously.

false religion

Ok, Pastor Jeff had a hard time reading the destruction on the Nephites and Lamanites at the time of Christ's death because of the heaviness of the judgement upon the people as a punishment. He says it doesn't sound like the Christ he's familiar with. I guess that means how Christ is presented specifically in the New Testament. To that I would ask, "Is God and Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever?" If the answer to that question is yes, then the character of God in the Old Testament cannot be separated from the character of God in the New Testament, because both presentations are the same unchanging God. The Old Testament focuses on the justice of God, and the New Testament focuses on the mercy of God, but they are still one and the same. The father who punishes his child is the same father who rewards his child. Why would it be any different with our Father in Heaven? Also, if Christ is going to bring a purifying fire of judgement upon the earth at his second coming, why could he not do such type of judgements on a smaller scale before his second coming?

At 11:00 “In the Protestant world we call that imputed righteousness.” Well, not exactly. In the Protestant world imputed righteousness comes through faith alone, not through the obedience involved in keeping covenant relationships (Rom 4:5,6) as stated at 10:45.

So that means you both are probably gentiles because both of you are probably european decents. Maybe the mormon guy is adopted. Right so the native Americans are not gentiles. Thats awesome if I'm right. Thank you guys.

This is by far your best video. Love this so much ❤

"Can we go through Swig now?" - classic Utah..... you fit.

what happened to part 2 of 3 nephi with Greg Madsen (Cwic Media)

Great conversation. Thanks for posting it so we could all participate. I'm grateful for the dignified way of talking about our similarities, while also our beliefs. I'm inspired by Kyle's understanding and knowledge of a church's history he doesn't belong to and the compassion he shows. I would love to see you have a conversation with Derik Dirkmaat or Casey Griffeths and Scott Woodward on these or other historical documents. I am enjoying learning more about mainstream Christianity and your beliefs as evangelicals through your channel. I am reading Alma 17-22 right now and your work and ministry, Pastor Jeff, is reminding me of the trust with his audience that Ammon built with King Lamoni in chapter 18 of Alma to prepare him to WANT to know who God is - His character and His relationship with us. PS, I am waiting for my fight criticism with curiosity shirt now. Thanks again!

I love these discussions! I felt like I should share the knowledge I have about the DNA question. There has been middle eastern DNA found in Native American tribes. I am surprised the professor didn’t know this? “A 2013 study published in Nature by researchers at the University of Copenhagen found that up to 35% of Native American DNA is linked to Western Eurasians, including people from the Middle East. This study challenges the previous theory that Native Americans are primarily descended from East Asians who crossed the Bering Sea to North America around 14,000 years ago. Instead, the study suggests that Native Americans are the result of two distinct populations meeting: East Asians and Western Eurasians” Also see this article: www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/131120-science-native-american-people-migration-siberia-genetics

Loved listening to this conversation!!!

Jesus was indeed the only one who can redeem us from physical and spiritual death. The suffering that is spoken of by Joseph F. Smith is the natural consequence of earthly sins. Any desire for those sins must be burned out of them -- the fires of Hell often spoken of -- before the wicked can be redeemed and receive their kingdom of glory. The kingdom of glory they can abide, Telestial, will be their permanent resting place. It will for them be the place they are most comfortable in throughout eternity. There, they will assist God in His work of creating worlds without number.

I am praying to you pastor Jeff that someday you will humbly open your heart and mind.to follow what Moroni said in Moroni 10: 3-5 ,but if you will be harden your hearts the spirit of God our Father in Heaven will not help to open your understanding.

I am in love with this passion for Jesus! When believers come to common ground in Jesus, this is where truth is! No denimination is truth, and no human is truth- all truth comes from Christ alone. From truth can Mormons, Baptists, Word of Faith, Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Pentecostals, Charismatics, etc come together as neighbors. Human nature (survival instinct) craves to see difference, but the Holy Spirit craves to see Man with Christ, unity in the body prepared before Christ. We will be this or that branch of Christianity for now, but in eternity this will not be, as we will eternally be one as believers with our savior.

Thank you Pastor John for posting this video of this wonderful man Russell M. Nelson. As followers of Christ we must respect all churches and people who love the Lord and work together in harmony for His greater good. I feel we need to be less worried about "what church do you go to?"... to what can we ALL accomplish for our communities in Christ's name?

Best video so far! Looking forward to Ether and Moroni! Tyler is amazing. 😅Please invite Jared Halverson from Unshaken in for a chat. ❤ He can answer any doctrinal question that you have not gotten a clear answer on.

I believe that you were Divinely guided to do this. You are lights to both the LDS and evangelical communities. Thank you for what you are doing.

Hey Pastor, do you believe the Book of Mormon is true?

You should do an episode where you discuss the fall of Adam & Eve with Brother Tyler Griffin.

I love Tyler Griffin truely a master teacher!

I love that you own the same mechanical pencil that i own.

Excellent episode. Thank you

Did you guys fast?

Eternal families in Latter Day Saint tradition and Non-Denominational, are the exact same thing. Picture Heaven and that’s what it is and more… LDS just formalize ceremonies to involve physical action in this imagination.

The fact that he says “Mormon” is a proclamation of his severance with the Church.

People still needs religion to evolve in this planet 😃

Careful Jeff, immersing yourself in the Book of Mormon like this always leads to getting Jesus all over you and inevitable getting soaked. -Even if you DON'T pray about it.

Read D&C 137 and 138. Dallin Oaks is a prophet, seer, and revelator.

Thank you, Jeff. I find you to be a thoughtful, sincere seeker of truth. Please continue your journey, wherever it takes you. God bless you and your family.

I’m a convert for 54 years and was a Catholic for 20 years….. I can see right through this channel.

We all need to remember Mosiah to Moroni was dictated or produced in 90-100 days

Masterful episode.

Cumorah is very similar to the Hebrew word for convex or arched. It's quite possible that Cumorah meant Hill in Mormon/Moron's dialect.

colonists* 18:12

Sadly, Mormons as well as Christendom (the churches) are part of this world, involving themselves in the political and military establishments of the nations. Whereas Jesus said that his followers would be no part of the world. They are neutral just as Jesus and 1st century Christians were.

If Joseph Smith was alive today he would not be a member of the LDS church. Also, any LDS member who tries to convince you that they don't believe works are essential for being saved are disingenuous. The LDS church literally believes if someone hasn't completed the necessary temple work, they can't live with their families in the celestial kingdom. They believe this so much they will even complete this work on behalf of someone if they died without doing the work for themselves. It's a works based religion. They might reply that "Jesus is the one who saves us." And while this is true, Jesus is the only one who saves us, they place an immense layer of religious conditions (works) on top of that truth.
