@seanryanlayton You’re bending scripture to meet your purpose, like the snake in the garden “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

Haha... no worries we all make mistakes. The Book of Mormon will bring a man or woman nearer to Christ than any other book. It is His book. Judge not, because the day will come, if you don't give it a chance now in faith, that He will show you with power and great glory that it does contain His words. As for a restoration, I could see how that might be confusing. Baptisms for the dead is Biblical, the early Christians talked about doing it in the New Testament, and Jesus went to preach to the spirits in spirit prison after He died on the cross. So why preach to the dead if the dead don't have an opportunity to recieve the gospel in the next life (if they didn't have the opportunity in this life?) This shows me God is very merciful, and gives all of His children a chance to learn and grow. As for polygamy, The Book of Mormon is strongly against polygamy and members of The Church of Jesus Christ will be excommunicated for practicing it today. The Bible shows us that the Lord makes certain exceptions when He's trying to raise up seed for His people, holy prophets like Abraham and Moses, and even David and Solomon were giving multiple wives from the Lord (according to the Biblical text), however this is not the norm.

I love Christians. It saddens me when many professing Christianity make false accusations towards my Christian faith and don't even do their homework... As a Latter-day Saint I believe: 1. God is bigger than 66 books. He is not done speaking. 2. If by "triune" you mean there are three members of the Godheads, yes. 3. Agreed. Jesus is Eternal. The Book of Mormon literally teaches this. 4. Agreed. We also believe in following the gospel Jesus Christ taught like having faith in Him, repenting of sins, and being born of water & of fire in order to accept His sacrifice.

@SeasonedRealist @BibleonaBoat @seanryanlayton @Saviorforcod The devil worked hard to get him back. JS sticking his head in a hat is not translating. We have the original scroll claiming to be their book of Abraham. JS was an occultist and a sexual deviant fraudster. God was not a man who became God, He is and has always been God.

@BibleonaBoat @seanryanlayton @Saviorforcod That’s fair and important. For one who claims to have left the church, im surprised by the frailty of the arguments he puts forward. I have in the past invited LDS members for discussion, and the vast majority of them refuse to defend their ideas. Yet they boldly assert them 🤔

I left The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 2011. Even after a 2-year mission in Peru, I became convinced that Joseph Smith Jr. must have been a fraud. Applying the same skepticism, my faith in the Savior quickly unraveled. I reasoned that a man couldn’t have possibly walked on water or come back to life either. If Christianity was a lie, I concluded, then all religion must be too. After all, weren’t religious zealots the ones behind 9/11? Didn't religion lead to the dark ages? Despite abandoning faith, and considering myself secular humanist/atheist, I held onto many of the values my parents and church leaders had taught me growing up. Regardless, I resolved to stand up for what I saw as "truth." Like Saul of Tarsus, I turned against The Church of Jesus Christ and its people. Like other detractors today, I created YouTube videos, wrote blogs, and even started a memoir to oppose the Latter-day Saints. Then in a small room in 2018, days after starting this memoir dismantling "mormonsim", everything changed. The Lord brought me back. I saw a light so bright that I fell to the floor. At this same moment, I saw a vision, which lasted for many minutes. I knew God was real. I knew Jesus Christ was the Savior of the world. And I knew The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was His true and living church on the earth. After this, while reading the Book of Mormon, God's Spirit bore witness to me of its truthfulness and I received a powerful confirmation the book was of God, and that Nephi was a true prophet. The following months were the hardest of my life. As I failed to live up to the light and knowledge I'd been given, and struggled to repent of my sins, I began to fall into darkness. The adversary had great control over me, and it suffices me to say that I'm lucky to be alive today. Over time, through faith Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism by immersion for the remission of sins, and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, the Lord helped me get back on my feet. His church was there for me every step of the way. He had loved me the entire time, even when I had been deceived. He's more merciful than we can possibly realize. Feel free to share. You're invited to hear Him. Listen to God's word through His chosen servants this April 2025, in preparation for the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” -John 3:16 churchofjesuschrist.org/feature/genera…

@seanryanlayton Since you want to correct my typo * Let me correct your biblical error. Mormons are not Christians. The God of the Bible is beyond space and time and was not created . The Christian gospel never needed “restoration “. Baptism for the dead is satanic , polygamy is an abomination.

@moak_ryan You're*. Also Mormon's just a nickname. I believe in Jesus Christ. I agree that a man dressed as a woman is not a woman. I talk to my Latter-day Saint friends all the time and they seem to be more Christ-centered than most creedal Christians I meet. Hope that helps.

@JC_Midwest @lectric_man1 @tehgspot27 @taco_talks “For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form,” Colossians 2:9 NIV bible.com/bible/111/col.…

@lectric_man1 @tehgspot27 @taco_talks Does your Bible have Colossians in it?

The God of the Old Testament is different than the God of the New Testament?

@RavnReborn @pimomormon @MattTestifies Most big LDS accounts are engagement farming. Outlandish claims with meme responses to criticism

@pimomormon @MattTestifies Engagement farmer. It’s all just bait for his Twinkie fund. He might even be getting those sweet moregood foundation kickbacks.

.@MattTestifies just spews this and never handles any challenges to what he says. Can anyone say “duck and run” 😂

@dean_spn45 @Hail_Winter 2. Thats what the snake told Eve, read your Bible bub.

@Hail_Winter 1. No we dont believe He lives on kolob. Kolob is just the star closest to Him, how close it is we dont know 2. The bible says we can become just like Him as we will inherit what He has, that makes us gods. It also says explicitly we are gods

Don't have Mormons try to convince you they are Christians. They believe that their god lives on a planet named kolob and that we can become gods ourselves. This is blasphemy.

@j_divis Tell your friends

@moak_ryan 👍🏼

Satan’s biggest lies: • Baptism isn’t needed for salvation • No more scripture is needed • Prophets and apostles are not needed • Families are not forever • God doesn’t have a body • God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost are not three distinct beings • Apostasy never happened • Miracles and personal revelation have ceased; God no longer speaks to or works through mortals today • A little sin is no big deal, God will justify us in a few small transgressions and still save us in the end • “All is well in Zion” there’s no urgent need to repent, change, or prepare; everything is basically fine as it is • We did not exist as spirit children of Heavenly Parents before this mortal life • Temple ordinances, endowments, and celestial marriage are unnecessary or merely symbolic for the highest degree of glory • Exaltation is impossible, we cannot become like our Heavenly Father • There are no degrees of glory, after death it’s simply heaven for the saved or hell for the rest (or universalism erases consequences entirely) • It doesn’t matter which church you belong to, all paths lead to God, or the “invisible church” makes organized religion unnecessary

@Salt_n_Smoke @PetGorilla @Hail_Winter Well since Mormonism is as real as the lord of the rings, it really doesn’t matter

@PetGorilla @Hail_Winter Ehh I don’t think this is right. I think they believe Jesus literally saves 99.999% of people basically. But to be in the presence of the Father. Yes, works.

Mormons believe that Jesus is too weak to save anyone. You have to save your self. Literal works-based slop. Mormon God is too small for me.

@Salt_n_Smoke There is gullible people who fall for the lies of JS. But there are plenty of sociopathic narcissists who want to be gods of their own planet .

Sending men on missions and then marrying their wives is the biggest chump move. Joseph Smith took advantage of nice gullible people. It’s that same DNA that continues today. That’s the LDS fruits, nice people. It’s in your DNA. Nothing to do with Mormonism.

@j_divis @ecuaman801 This is one of many reasons why Mormons are not Christians

@ecuaman801 False.

Jesus Christ, who is perfect, got baptized as an example. It is required for salvation.

@MattTestifies Was the thief on the cross baptized?

Baptism is apparently optional now, which is news to Jesus Christ.

@Jgallagher1958 @sola_chad God already has what he wants.

@moak_ryan @sola_chad I don’t understand your answer.

Was it God’s plan for Joseph to be betrayed by his brothers, left for dead, sold into slavery, falsely accused and wrongly imprisoned for many years?

@Jgallagher1958 @sola_chad All I’m saying is we try to understand God , He is outside space and time and that alone makes it impossible to want anything , God is everything ,without any want. He knows everything we will ever do. He knows who will accept him and who won’t.

@Maccabeus24 @MattTestifies Mormons are so confused they think the snake was a good guy.

@MattTestifies If God didn't intend something other than the Fall and only planned for the Fall as a contingency, then He intentionally set up the conditions to cause sin and is morally responsible for that outcome.

The Fall did not ruin God’s plan. The Fall is part of God’s plan.

@lastdayslance I feel bad for most LDS people, it’s crazy that with all the evidence that proves the religion false people still believe it.

@moak_ryan This is the exact rhetoric I would have said as an active JW when comparing my religion to other “false” religions.

Before I viewed JW apostate content, I would watch former Mormon videos. It was comments like this that I would go “oh yeah that’s a cult”. Then I’d pause for a second as the congestive dissonance drifted away from my body. It got harder & harder to ignore the similarities.

@MattTestifies @YGBSM561 Mormons are so lost. Engagement farming by posting BS all day. The only way their church is as large as it is , is because the Devil is behind it. Satanists posturing as Christians.

@YGBSM561 That is a pile of assertions, not an argument. Saying Mormonism has been completely disproven by five big nouns is not the same thing as demonstrating it.

Every religion outside the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was built by men trying to reach God. This Church was restored by God reaching back. That is not a small difference. That is everything.
