Great earth farther than all my sin and shame.
Oh, magnify the precious name of Jesus.
Praise Him.

Song number one hundred and seventy-three
We'll see on that first verse. I
Was sinking deep in sin far from the peaceful shore
Very deeply stayed with sin thinking to rise no more
But the master of the sea heard my despairing cry.
From the waters lifted me, now save him.

enjoyed those muffins there you see the so many times in teams listed there in
the middle
and the list of expecting mothers,
if you can keep them in prayer.
You see the stats there for salvations and baptisms
for the month of September.
We've had a great month there.
Help us reach our goal of 2,000 salvations
by the end of the year.
And this month, I believe we will be able to reach that
very closely at least because of the fact
of the mission strips that are gonna be taking place.
And with that in mind, please pray for our missionaries.
They're gonna be going tonight.
I believe some of them are flying out to the Bahamas.
And so pray for them, they're gonna be suffering
and just the Christian life is hard sometimes.
But thank God they said, hear my Lord, send me.
And they were willing to put themselves out there
and do that for us.
Thank you for your sacrifice.
And so, but by the end of the year,
Lord willing we'll see over 2000.
I think we're on that trajectory.
So.
be in prayer over that and also do your part on the right hand side is the
upcoming church events we have the homeschool field trip

center of course that activity is paid for and so if you have any questions that

kiddos ready for that and if you have any questions you can see brother Mori
lemons for more details about that that is it let's go ahead and sing our next
song song number 45 when I can read my title clear
Song number 45, when I can read my title clear.
Song number 45.
We'll see you on that first verse.
When I can read my title clear
To mansions in the sky.
So
in Ephesians chapter 5 and the Bible reads be therefore followers of God as
dear children and walk in love as Christ also has also hath loved us and
hath given up given himself for us and offering and a sacrifice to God for a
But fornication, and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not be once named among you as become
of saints, neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient,
but rather giving of thanks.
For this ye know, that no whore monger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is
an idolater hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
Let no man deceive you with vain words, for because of these things come with the wrath
Be not ye therefore partakers with them, for ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord.
Walk as children of light, for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,
proving what is acceptable unto the Lord, and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
For it is a shame if we speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light.
for whatsoever doth make man of best is light, wherefore he saith awake, thou that sleepest,
and arise from the dead, and cry shall give thee light. So then that ye walk, see then,
that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time because the days are evil,
wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is,
and be not drunk with wine, wearing his excess, but be filled with the spirit.
speaking to yourselves in Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your
heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ, submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives, submit yourselves
unto your own husbands as unto the Lord, for the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ
Therefore, as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives speak to their own husbands
in everything.
Husbands love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it,
that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of the water by the word, that
he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any
such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish.
So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies.
For no man ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourished it, and cherished it, even as the Lord the Church, for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they too shall be one flesh.
This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the Church.
Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself and the wife see that she reverence her husband
Spray by the God. We thank you dear Lord for the wonderful King James Bible
We thank you for our wonderful church. You've given us Lord and we thank you for our pastor
Please bless him as he preaches your word this morning in Jesus name we pray
Amen.
Okay, we're in Ephesians chapter 5 this morning, look down at your Bibles in verse number 9.
It says, For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,
proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
And I want you to notice verse 11, it says, And have no fellowship with the unfruitful
works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
And the time of my sermon this morning is Mormons are not Christian.
Christian and the reason I want to preach this because around the 28th of September there was a major shooting
in a Mormon church, and unfortunately there were four victims, people who died, and that
is a tragedy.
You know, I never celebrate when people, innocent people die, when they are the victims of violence,
and I am of the firm belief that wicked people need to be brought to justice, those people
need to be tried and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
But here's the thing is that sometimes other wicked people will often take such a tragedy
false religion. And so often what will take place is that you'll have a situation like this
with the Mormon church and Christians, those who are bleeding hearts, they're soft on their doctrine,
will often try to couple Mormons within the Christian realm and try to empathize with their
religion. But let me just remind you that you can empathize with victims without actually
You can empathize with victims and say they need justice and people need to be brought to justice without actually
Approving of their wicked false religion, okay?
And that's what I'm doing this morning because of the fact that unfortunately on social media
If you if you're on it enough you'll see that Mormonism is trying to be normalized within social media platforms such as Instagram
Facebook and whatnot and I see this a lot
on social media particularly when it comes to these influencers such as these homesteaders
You know my wife will tell me often that you know
She'll get this really good recipe for a particular dish or whatever it may be
And then they'll go on their blog and they'll look at it like wow
This is so good and look she has so many kids and she's married and then it's just Mormon like oh man
He's like you just you just killed it. I mean you're Mormon, you know
And then of course Mormons are like well
We're Christians too and they'll try to hop on a common section and try to defend so you know some Christian doctrines
And it's just like you're not one of us, bro
You are not one of us. You are a part of a cult this is an apostate religion has nothing to do with Christianity
But folks if
Pastors and churches are not saying what I'm saying this morning. It will become normalized
You know a lot of Christians are just kind of like well, you know
They do call themselves Christians to have Jesus in the name
They seem to have Christian values and let me just say this more than anything
Politics has a tendency to blur those lines
You know, when you have Republicans and conservatives that's a major canopy there, right?
And it essentially encapsulates not just Baptists, but even Catholics and even Mormons.
Why? Because to a certain degree these sects of so-called Christianity
essentially embrace some of the same family values, morality and such.
And so Christians sometimes will turn a blind eye to Mormons because they believe in big families.
You know, because they believe in marriage.
It's like, what about the polygamy part though?
You know, because they supposedly have Christian values.
And so, you know, Christians are really,
really hard on who they're voting for.
But, but here's the thing.
They're not really hard on what they believe though.
regarding their doctrine.
I'll give you an example.
Years ago, I was still a fundamental Baptist,
but I was young in the faith,
and I was part of an old IFB church.
I'm gonna confess some of my sins to you right now, okay?
I voted for Mitt Romney when I was a young man.
I know, no tomatoes, please.
Mitt Romney's a Mormon.
And I do remember distinctly
that my church was promoting this,
and they're just like, yeah,
but he stands for Christian values.
And I remember thinking to myself,
but he's a Mormon.
How do we how do I just how do we justify this?
How do I justify this and of course I was tossed to and fro carried about with every wind of doctrine
I was still a babe in Christ. I was very easily impressionable and I was pressured and I was just like alright
Well, I guess you know he kind of kind of stands for Christian value so to speak it's kind of weird
You know it's kind of stuff, but then I voted for him now, you know, he didn't win so obviously, you know, that didn't work
but
You know at the end of the day, you know Christians are willing to compromise their biblical convictions, right?
Well, you know politics is one thing. Okay, if politics is one thing and we shouldn't look at their Christian background
You know, we shouldn't judge them based upon what they believe when we're voting for them
Then why even bring up the fact that they have so-called Christian values, right?
ain't that right?
Yeah, it was just like, well, you know, you shouldn't really look at that because, you know, we're not voting for a pastor
We're not voting for a missionary or deacon then stop then why are you bringing up the he's a Christian?
Only when it applies right only when it's convenient and it applies at the end of the day
What I want to do this morning is kind of show you clearly that Mormonism is a cult that we should never be in support of Mormonism
Don't and if you're on social media do your part and don't let them be a part of the common section
You know and make sure you expose them from the frauds that they are they're a wicked religion that are sending billions of people to hell
They've done it since the 1800s, okay?
And so you say, well, where's your text verse?
How about this?
Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness.
Well, yeah, I don't have fellowship with them.
Oh, but the commandment's not over.
It says, but rather, reprove them.
So the Bible's commanding us not only to separate
from such groups that promote wickedness and sinfulness
and that which is undoctrinal,
but it even says that we have to reprove them.
So it's not enough that we're separate from them.
We need to be proactive in correcting who they are.
You understand?
Yeah, we need to be proactive in judging them,
essentially, right?
And the Bible says here that we need to prove
what is acceptable unto the Lord.
And you know what?
Christians, approving of Mormons is unacceptable.
Christians compromising and making excuses for Mormonism and you know voting for Mormons and
Supporting Mormons is unacceptable. And again, these people actually do come under the radar, you know homesteaders
IG influencers and you know, uh, there's a there's a IG influencer. It's a female
And, you know, she makes like a lot of jokes.
They're like dad jokes.
I don't know her handle's name or whatever.
But I remember, you know, watching one of her videos,
and she just tells like a lot of dad jokes,
and she became very popular.
And then, you know, on one of her videos,
she came out and it was just like she was a Mormon.
And everyone in the comment section was like, I knew it.
I knew there was something up with this chick.
And then like she just dropped a bunch of followers because you know years after the fact that she started her account
She finally admitted that she was Mormon, but you know what?
This is actually very common with Mormonism
They're very secretive about who they are and what they believe and they don't want to tell you until long after you've actually
Entered into the Mormon tabernacle and done their little mason handshakes or whatever
They're all about secrecy and in fact they're all about lying to you, too
Make no mistake about it and let me just tell you we as Christians
We ought to be honest all the time not back down if someone wants to know what we believe about any subject
Just tell them you know don't beat around the bush
The Bible tells us Jesus Christ commands us to preach it upon the house tops meaning don't be ashamed of what the Bible says
Right. Oh, let's review a homosexuals. I mean how much time do you got?
How much time do you got?
You know, what's your view on the Jews? How much time do you got?
You know, what's your view on salvation? Man, we can just go on and on and on
Whereas the Church of Mormon or the Church of Jesus Christ of light of their saints as they like to call themselves
They're very secretive. They will lie to your face
Until you actually bring the receipts and they're just like, oh, yeah. Well, yeah, well, what's wrong with that?
Well, what's wrong with that you just lie to my face
You know and this is not a doctrine that's taught within their scriptures
But this is a tradition that's commonly practice of lying for the Lord
That's actually something that's in a thing in within Mormonism, you know
They like to withhold information from you
Withhold information from their congregants into their congregants move up in their membership, and then they expose who they really are
Okay
But this is not a Christian virtue, you know
We need to make sure that we are open about what we believe not ashamed
You know, what if you offend people about what you believe so be it what who cares people are gonna get offended no matter
What you did get offended if you tell them the truth don't get offended if you lie to them
They'll get offended if you believe the right doctrine if you don't they will always be offended
So you might as well just stick to the truth preach the truth say the truth
and let the chips fall where they may.
This morning, I want to give you a couple reasons
why Mormons are not Christians.
And this is not exhaustive by any stretch of the imagination
because there's a lot of things wrong with Mormonism.
But I'm going to give you the basics this morning.
And obviously, I don't think anybody in here
is being deceived by Mormonism.
I don't think anybody here will become a Mormon
unless you're just completely not saved.
And you reject the word of God, and you just
want a bunch of wives or something like that.
You know, you might be persuaded into becoming a Mormon and let me just say this, you know, Mormonism is America's Islam
That's basically what it is. They are synonymous one with another
The difference is one's in the Middle East and one's in America. Okay, and it's it's crazy to think how similar they are together
But it's not that crazy when you think about it that their god is satan
So, Satan is the one who's distributing this information and doctrine, and in fact, you
know, as I was researching Mormonism and just kind of going through their history, refreshing
myself on the information regarding the Mormon Church, you know, I came to this crazy realization
that, you know, a lot of the things that Joseph Smith and the Mormon Church taught, John Nelson
Darby and dispensationalists taught as well.
And you and you know I was thinking myself like do they have any connections, but they had zero connections
They lived during the same era around the same decade one was in England the other one was here in America
But they almost taught some of the same heresies. You know, how can that be if they never had contact? I'll tell you why it's because of Satan
The lions that lion spirit in the 1800s was busy. Okay, you know going from sea to sea land to land
Deceiving people into teaching false doctrine turn with me if you would go to go to 2nd Peter chapter 2 if you would 2nd Peter chapter 2
This morning, I'm going to give you about five reasons why Mormons are not Christian.
Number one, reason number one is their false testament.
They have a false testament known as the Book of Mormon.
Now, what is the Book of Mormon?
What is this referring to?
And in fact, they have actually three books
that they all uphold too.
Only one of them the public really is familiar with
and that is the Book of Mormon.
But Mormon was actually a prophet within their writings.
Because you kind of wonder like,
where did that name come from?
Well, it comes from the prophet Mormon.
And the Book of Mormon essentially presents itself
as a second witness of Jesus Christ,
which is another testament.
But in essence, it actually rewrites biblical history
and places it on the American continent.
So a lot of what's taking place in the Book of Mormon
is actually taking place in the United States of America.
You know, talk about Israelites coming to America,
that Jesus Christ after the resurrection came to America.
So not only does it contradict the Bible,
it just contradicts history in general.
Okay, and this is how strong the delusion is within Mormonism
The people would not only be willing to just completely ignore with the Bible clearly teaches
But how about just history in general right just basic history
Never you'll never find what they claim happened in the Book of Mormon
So around 600 BC a Jewish family led by Lehi
Supposedly fled Jerusalem and sailed to the Americas
This is the narrative that the Book of Mormon proposes and the sons of Lehi were essentially
Divided into two nations you have the Nephites and then you have the Lamanites now the Nephites were righteous light-skinned
and the Lamanites
All right, we're the rebellious cursed with dark skin now some of your races in the congregation probably well hey well, you know
Let's uh, let's not jump to conclusions here. You know not no one's perfect. All right, you know
No, no, we're gonna find this book
Yeah, you agree with Mormons, okay
Where's all the laughter now?
Now obviously when you bring this up to Mormons the Mormon missionaries they will lie to your face
They will literally lie to your face. They're like we don't believe but then when you show the receipts
They're like, well, what's wrong with that thing?
You know, and I'm telling you they will do this one of our church members actually confronted a Mormon
We're doing this and let me just say this never invite a Mormon into your house
The Bible strictly forbids for us to invite anybody who's transgressed the doctrines of Christ such as Mormonism
Job's witnesses, you know those dudes who say that God is a woman anybody like that never invite him to your house
Never try to like witness to them into your house
The Bible says that if you do that to your partaker of their evil deeds, you said what should I do rebuke them?
You know scare them off, you know discourage them from preaching their false gospel and sending people to hell
That's what you should do. Okay, so
His sons are divided into two nations the Nephites the Lamanites and these two groups fought for centuries
Well after the resurrection Jesus Christ allegedly appeared to these
American people and he preached his gospel and that's how he organized his church among them now ultimately the Lamanites
Who are the rebellious dark-skinned?
They destroyed the Nephites
And so, you have Mormon, who is essentially transcribing all this into a book, he didn't finish it, so he basically gave it to his son, Moroni, who would eventually put him on golden place centuries later, you know, he died or whatever, centuries later, he came back as an angel and gave that to Joseph Smith.
Now, obviously, what I'm telling you is a fairy tale.
Okay, it didn't happen, I'm just telling you the narrative of the Book of Mormon.
But obviously Joseph Smith is possessed with some sort of devil named Moroni though, okay?
Because this is obviously a very elaborate story that a lion spirit must have told him so in general that the the
Synopsis of the Book of Mormon is essentially referring to the restored church in other words after the apostles the churches of Jesus Christ went apostate
in salvation and their doctrine and teaching.
Well, the Mormon church is a restoration of the true church.
That's what they believe.
And this book promotes that.
It promotes salvation by faith plus ordinances.
They teach a pre-Columbian Christianity
Okay, of course a prophecy about America and covenants with Native Americans as well
And of course these Native Americans are portrayed as the descendants of the laminates the dark-skinned rebellious people
Who one day returned to faith? Okay, and so and by the way, that's one of the reasons for a long time
You know Mormons didn't allow black people to become missionaries. You know, I think they do now
Can I get a witness? Is this true? I haven't seen one, you know, but
Apparently that's the thing.
So you have the Book of Mormon that
is a prophecy of the prophet Mormon given to his son,
Moroni, who appeared to Joseph Smith.
And that's the synopsis of what the Book of Mormon teaches.
But then you also have covenants and doctrines.
This is the secondary book that the Church of Mormon uses.
And it's essentially a compilation
of Joseph Smith's revelations, and later instructions
claimed to come essentially directly from God.
Now here's the thing with Mormons
is that they have these three documents
that they use in order to run their church
and teach their doctrines, but they also
In other words, their apostles, when they come, they can just make stuff up, completely
make what they previously taught null and void, and just come up with new stuff, okay?
So it's like a continuation of Revelation, if a new apostle shows up and contradicts
whatever previous apostle said, that's okay, you know, he can do that and just make stuff
up on his own.
So they can essentially deny some of the damnable, controversial things that Mormons taught
You know in the present so you have covenants and doctrine
This is where you'll find things like baptism for the dead things of that nature
Many of their doctrines are found there and the third document that they use is called the pearl of great price
Okay, and these are the continuous revelations given to modern-day Mormon Mormons and Apostles and so forth and essentially has the book of Moses
Which is the first six chapters of the book of Genesis that Joseph Smith rewrote
Book of Abraham and other documents in there that are completely erroneous.
What's the point here?
Well, look at 2 Peter chapter 1 verse 16.
It says, For we have not followed cunningly devised fables.
When we may know unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty look at verse 18
And this voice referring to the voice of God the father the apostle Peter talking here this voice which came from heaven
We heard when we were with him in the holy mount
So what is Peter talking about?
He's obviously referring to the Mount Transfiguration event,
right, where he saw, you know, Elijah and Moses
and they heard his, the voice of God, the Father,
saying, this is my beloved son,
putting his stamp of approver on Jesus Christ once again.
And he's basically saying like,
this testimony that I'm giving is sure.
It is a legitimate testimony.
We were there.
There were eyewitnesses.
I mean, this is a very valid event that took place.
Eyewitnessed it.
People around me witnessed it.
We saw this miraculous supernatural occurrence, right?
And you, you know, if we were there during that time,
we would say, you know, well, it must be true
because a bunch of people witnessed it.
And the mouth of two or three witnesses everywhere
shall be established to a certain,
and we know that he's probably not lying about this,
but he says in verse 19,
We have also a more sure word of prophecy
We're unto you do well that you take heed as into a light that shineth in the dark place
Unto the day dawn and the day star arise in your hearts
So what is the Bible saying here?
You know even though the testimony of Peter is valid guess what's more valid than his testimony is the Bible
the word of God is a far more sure word of prophecy for us to take heed to and
this is why it's important for us to be Bible-believing Christians that have the
Bible as the final authority not some revelation of some new apostle pedophile
We need to make sure that we uphold the word of God and scrutinize everything based upon this prove all things
Hold fast that which is good. That's what the Bible says and when it says prove all things
It's referring to you know compare it to what the Bible actually says
So even though what Peter said is true and his eyewitness is true
He's saying but you need to place your faith in the written word because the written word never changes, right?
Whereas the Book of Mormon is constantly changing whereas covenants and doctrine constantly changing
The Mormon doctrine is constantly changing based upon the revelation of these Apostles and let me just say that the recent Apostle died
Right, so you know he split hell wide open. Yes, he did because he was not saved
He was a false prophet false Apostles deceitful worker and so you know
But whatever guy's taken over after him. I'm telling you right now. He's gonna come up with more heresies
He's gonna perpetuate the lie of Mormonism look what it goes on to say in verse 20 knowing this verse that no
Prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of men
But holy men of God's spake as they're removed by the holy ghost go to Galatians chapter one if you would Galatians chapter number one
Point number one is that Mormon and Mormons are not Christian because they have a false testament
The Book of Mormon, Covenants and Doctrine,
and the Pearl of Grey Price contradict one another,
but they also contradict the coming revelations
of the apostles that came thereafter.
They're constantly making them null and void.
There's no substance to what they're saying.
And, by the way, they also claim to believe
in the King James Bible.
That would be their fourth book.
But obviously, they don't read it.
And they don't really believe it.
Why? Because all three of those books,
Pearl of Grey Price, Covenants and Doctrine,
and the Book of Mormon contradicts the Bible.
The Bible never talks about the Americas,
never talks about Jesus Christ after the resurrection
coming to America, and never talks about
the Lamanites and the Nephites.
Those people groups never existed.
It's a bunch of fairy tales, it's not true,
it's a false testament.
Therefore, it should be discarded
and not regarded as being scriptural.
Look at Galatians chapter one, verse eight.
There's a greater curse upon someone with this.
It says in verse eight, but though we,
The Apostle Paul speaking here, or an angel from heaven.
Preach any other gospel unto you
than that which we have preached unto you.
Let him be accursed.
Isn't that interesting that the Apostle Paul
just so happened to put the we or an angel?
And it's funny that Satan would often props up
these false prophets to say the literal exact opposite
of what the Bible says, right?
Just contradict what the Bible clearly teaches it's like the Bible says hey if an apostle comes claiming to be an apostle
And he claims to have gotten revelation from an angel and it contradicts what the Bible says let him be a curse
And then Mormonism comes like oh, yeah the angel Moroni told me this an angel came to me
And why did he do that in order to lend veracity to his message?
You know don't worry the fire is not gonna start. He's just making sure that it's not
You know the Bible is telling us here that if a person comes preaching another gospel
And he's even saying like if I come back and I preach something different right because he says though
We placed in himself in that situation
He's like if I come back preaching another gospel than that what you have heard I should be a curse
That means damned that means reprobating right?
And in case you didn't get it the first time he says in verse 9 as we said before so say I know again
If any man preach any other gospel to you that now what you have received let him be a curse
Clearly indicating that the person who's preaching a false gospel a twisting of a testament is
Literally cursed in the eyes of God meaning that they're reprobating meaning that they're beyond the hope of salvation
Why because it's not just a matter of rejecting the true gospel of Jesus Christ
It's embracing and propagating the message of a false one
You know this is the difference between your run-of-the-mill lost person that's out there
Who's just you know lost they don't believe they're just not even in church?
And the Mormon who's actually knocking at your door trying to get you to be damned right that's the difference there
And don't let the fluoride stare fool you either
You know don't let them kill you with kindness and you know, oh man
They're just so nice and they seem to be about the family. It's a smokescreen for who they really are
Okay, and look folks. This is why it's important that when we judge things we judge them with discernment and not our emotions
Don't get emotionally involved when you're judging a situation
Right why because the heart is deceitful above all things desperately wicked who can know it?
That's what the Bible says
The Bible actually condensed people following their heart
because it's just not a valid source.
We need to make sure that we have discernment.
We know the world will call intuition,
but we just call biblical discernment
that we compare things, improve all things
whole fast, that which is good.
And we judge things based upon that.
But they're so nice, you know,
they're just, they're on their 10 speeders
and you know, they're blue-eyed, blonde hair.
They're very well-mannered.
You know, well, Satan comes as an angel of light.
The reason they have that persona about themselves is because they want to deceive you into thinking that they're
Moral nice people, but they're actually the scum of the earth according to biblical standards
And people need a Christians need to understand what I just said right now
You know how can you call them the scum of the earth? Well if your full-time job is to deceive people so they die and go to hell
You're scum
You're absolutely scum
Okay, and in fact you're a cursed according to what the Bible says
The Bible also says in Proverbs chapter 30, go to Revelation 22, if you would, Revelation
22.
Proverbs 30 verse 6 says, Add thou not unto his words, lest he reproof thee, and thou be
found a liar.
Revelation 22 and verse 18 says, For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of this
prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him
the plagues that are written in this book.
And if any man shall take away from the words of the Book of this Prophecy, God shall take away his part of the Book of Life and out of the Holy City and from the things that are written in this Book.
What is it saying? It's saying that after the Book of Revelation was complete, Christians, believers, churches knew that the canonization was finished.
Right because of the warning that it gave no one should add to this book well
That's referring to adding to the book of Revelation. It's referring to the fact that you're just adding to the completion of God's word
Because revelation the end that's it well if anybody asked to this which the Book of Mormon is in addition
Covenants and doctrine is in addition the Pearl of Great Price is in addition the Quran is in addition
The Bible says that God will take them out of the book of life.
And so this is ironclad proof that Joseph Smith is in hell.
And I don't think anybody doubts that here.
No one's like, and look, folks, the apostle Paul,
even when writing to the Thessalonians,
he told them not to be soon shaken in mind
or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word,
nor by letter as from us as the day of Christ is at hand.
So he's saying, just because someone comes to you,
by revelation, by spirit.
You shouldn't just be thinking that it's true
or lend veracity to their message.
You need to compare it to what God says in his word.
Turn with me if you would, let's see.
Let's go to 2nd Corinthians, chapter 11.
2nd Corinthians, chapter 11.
So Mormons are not Christian, why?
I'll tell you why, because they have another Testament,
a false Testament, a poorly written Testament.
And obviously, no one even found the gold plates.
It's a complete farce.
It doesn't exist.
No one ever found them.
And Joseph Smith came up with this erroneous fable
that he was able to translate hieroglyphics
and he was found to be a liar.
He was actually a diviner.
You know, this guy used divination in order to find gold prior to him establishing the church of Mormons and also he was taken to trial for his supposed capability of translating Egyptian when they actually gave him Egyptian transcripts that he claimed to be talking about Abraham which is in the Covenants and Doctrine or I'm sorry the Pearl of Great Price.
Egyptian scholars came and then said this says nothing of Abraham this has
nothing to do with Abraham. See he was discovered to be a fraud he just made up
a story why because he's a liar okay and so he was obviously found to be a
fraud you see if that's the case then why are people following him I'll tell you
why because people love liars
Now, you can't understand it because you love the truth,
but there's people out there who love believing in lies.
They love believing in UFOs.
They love believing in, you know, the Book of Enoch.
What other fables are out there?
What?
Astrology, what else?
Flat Earth.
Reptilians.
They will believe these things in spite
of the clear evidence of the opposite.
And so we have a slew of history against Mormonism.
We have a slew of history of Joseph Smith
being discovered to be a fraud,
and yet they just will not believe it.
They don't wanna adhere to it
because they wanna heap to themselves teachers
having itching ears, so the Bible says.
So Mormons aren't Christian, why?
Because they have a false testament.
But number two, here's a good reason to reject Mormonism,
and that is because they have a false Jesus.
Look folks, we have to grow out of this little bubble that thinks that anything that calls themselves Christians or proclaims Jesus is actually Christian
Well, they say they're Christian and
Folks in order for any false religion or false prophet to deceive you they have to add Christian to it a
Little bit of truth has to be added to the lie in order to pass it off as being legitimate
And so just because and this is one of the reasons why Mormons in general, you know, try to use
Mormon a little less
The title Mormon a little less they often will just use the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
You know because Mormon already has the connotation of a cult has a connotation of weirdos, right?
Whereas not many people are familiar with the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints now
Obviously you see two dudes on a 10 speeders with the short sleeves, you know, they kind of gave themselves away, right?
But in general, if people aren't very schooled or educated on false religions, such as Mormonism,
you know, they might be duped by that title, the Church of Jesus Christ, a lot of other sayings.
But Jesus of Mormonism is not the Jesus Christ of the Bible, okay?
Why? Well, first and foremost, Jesus, according to Mormonism, was conceived by physical means of God and Mary.
So God had physical relations with Mary in order to produce Jesus.
This is blasphemy, okay?
Now, you know, you're saying, well, you know, you're kind of just saying that though, you know, well, let me give you some quotes because I have not only scriptures from our quotes from their scriptures, but I also have quotes from their apostles.
You know, and before I even read that, let me just give you the modern LDS clarification.
Okay.
Today, the church avoids any literal physical explanation.
It's manual true to the faith in 2004 page 46 states Jesus Christ is the only Begotten Son of God the eternal Father in the flesh
The exact manner in which he was begun was not been has not been revealed
So, you know, this is what I'll tell you now, but hold on a second. Let's go to what their previous
Progenitor said about this bring them young who is the second LDS president
Stated the birth of the Savior was as natural as are the births of our children
It was the result of natural action.
He partook of flesh and blood was begotten of his father as we were of our fathers
He wrote this in his journal of discourses in
1859 Orson Pratt who was also an apostle stated the father and the son are both of them
Excuse me the father and the son are both of them men of tabernacle
The Virgin Mary must have been for the time being the lawful wife of God the father in
Order that Jesus might have been a natural birth from her womb
This is found in the Seer, page 158.
Joseph Fielding Smith, the apostle later,
a later president said this,
Christ was begun by an immortal father
in the same way that mortal men
are begotten by mortal fathers.
Doctrines of salvation, volume one, page 18.
And so obviously the implication here
is that he was born physically,
But that he was conceived by that physical relationship of his father with his earthly mother Mary
Not only that but Mormonism teaches that Jesus is the brother of Satan
This is further blasphemy
Okay
The pearl of great price book of Moses chapter 4 verses 1 through 4. Let me read this to you. I'll read
Yeah, let me read all the verses here.
I'm starting to follow your ears this morning.
It says,
And I, the Lord God,
Spake unto Moses,
Saying that Satan,
Whom thou hast commanded,
In the name of my only begotten.
Is the same which was from the beginning and he came before me saying behold here am I send me
I will be thy son and I will redeem all mankind
That one soul shall not be lost and surely I will do it. Wherefore give me thine honor
So it according to the Book of Mormon narrative Satan started off like I was a good guy
You know he wanted to be the son of God who would redeem mankind and save them
You know, this is the the chosen type of narrative, right the chosen that tries to make Judas a good guy
Verse 2 says, But behold, my beloved son, which was my beloved and chosen from the beginning said unto me,
Father, thy will be done, and the glory be thine forever.
Wherefore, because that Satan rebelled against me and sought to destroy the agency of man, which I, the Lord God, had given him,
I caused that he should be cast down, and he became Satan, yea, even the devil, the father of lies, to deceive and to blind men.
Gospel principles in 1981 states this all men and women are literally sons and daughters of God as were the spirits
We call Jesus Christ and Lucifer. Okay Mormon doctrine
In 1966 page 192 says the devil is a spirit son of God who was born in the morning of pre-existence
as were all the spirit children of the father and of course they're implying that Jesus Christ is a spirit child of God basically making them brothers.
Mormon apostle Milton Hunter says the appointment of Jesus to be the savior of the world was contested by one of the other sons of God.
He was called Lucifer, son of the morning.
Haughty, ambitious, covetous of power and glory.
This spirit brother of Jesus desperately tried to become the savior of mankind.
Mormon Apostle Joseph Merrill said, Christ and the devil are brothers.
So you're like, well, you said a lot of stuff, but I didn't really understand.
Okay, well, let me give you the most just clearest one.
Christ and the devil are brothers.
Everyone who accepts the gospel holds that belief.
So if you really believe in Mormon doctrine you have to believe if you believe in Mormonism
You have to embrace the fact that Christ and the devil are actual brothers
This is found in the improvement era April 1945 page 204. These are the receipts look at 2nd Corinthians 11 verse 3
He says but I fearless by any means as the serpent beguiled Eve through a subtle team
So your mind should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ
for he that cometh preacheth another Jesus whom we have not preached or
If you receive another spirit which you have not received or another gospel which you have not accepted you might well bear with him
What is the same?
He said you know you guys are so deceived you guys are so such compromisers
It's possible that if someone comes preaching another doctrine another gospel another Jesus you might put up with it
You might tolerate it and you know what unfortunately it is true for Christians today a
Lot of people a lot of Christians will tolerate false religions into their Christian
Organizations just because they share some of the same beliefs regarding family values or something like that
You know, I'll give you an example Charlie Kirk
Right Charlie Kirk's made the majority. I think he even claimed the majority of the people who work for him are all Mormons
And that wasn't like he was ashamed of it.
It's like he was kind of proud of it.
Saying that they're like good people, they're Mormons.
It's just like, what?
You know, who cares what you believe about Charlie Kirk?
How about the fact that, you know,
there's Mormons working in a Christian organization?
Well, aren't they Christian?
No, see, you're bearing with them is what you're doing.
It's what you're doing.
You know, let's get back to the chosen, for example, okay?
The chosen, which, you know, is just,
you know, Christian soap opera is what it is.
It's just Christian novellas.
It's the cringiest series on the Bible, you know
I've ever seen and I haven't watched the whole thing and I don't plan to just the clips that I've seen is just like none
Of this is in the Bible
None of this is biblical is very blasphemous
Just adding to the word of God. Oh, they're just taking artistic liberty. You don't take artistic liberty with the Bible
What's wrong with you?
But you know these guys are funded by Mormons, they're filming this in Utah with Mormons
You know, the famous one-liner of Jesus Christ,
I am the law of noses.
That's not in the Bible.
That's in the Book of Mormon.
Now Christians just don't want to hear that
because it ruins their, you know,
the little meat time when they're watching The Chosen
with some popcorn or whatever.
You're like, well, I just, you know,
what's wrong with that entertainment?
I'll tell you what's wrong, it's false, it's wrong,
it contradicts the Bible.
Just read the Bible.
You know, I think I would rather have you watch like Harry Potter or something believe it or not and Harry Potter is gay
You know what I mean?
That's how bad I think the chosen is
Watch watch the truth watch the Star Wars trilogy you probably get more Bible from that than you do the chosen
Yeah, at least they got a little more doctrine and stars than they do in the chosen
Anyways the point that I'm making here is they do have a false Jesus and we should not bear with it
Which what does it what does it mean to bear with it? It means don't put up with it
Don't tolerate it. Don't make excuses for it. And this is why I'm against just being in politics
You know, I'm not Republican. I'm not Democrat. I'm just a I'm just a Bible-believing Christian
You know why because the people who run the conservative crowds are tolerant of
False religions and sorry that goes against my biblical conviction. I'm a Baptist
I'm a Christian. I'm a Bible believer and the Bible tells me to not have any fellowship with the unfulfilled works of darkness at any capacity
Well, that's just referring to doctrine that's just any capacity
Says that we should reprove them and so, you know, don't be a Corinthian
Where the Apostle Paul's is rebuking them saying hey, you know if someone just came preaching preaching to Jesus
That is a brother of Satan you might tolerate it
You might put up with it. You might actually be okay with it. You little compromiser
Don't bear with it
Don't be beguiled by the subtlety look at verse 13 for such our false apostles deceitful workers
Transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ and no marvel for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light
Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers
also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness,
whose end shall be according to their works.
And you know, this teaching that I don't think
any Bible-believing Christian,
whatever buy into the absurd lie,
that Jesus is the brother of Satan,
it's absolutely just stupidity,
and falls doctrine and heresy.
But the Bible says in Hebrews 1.5,
unto which of the angels said he in any time,
dour my son?
This day have I begun the and again I will beat him a father
He shall be to me his son because aside from the heresy that they believe that Jesus is the brother of Satan
They believe that Satan is the son of God
Which is complete heretical nonsense
This is the reason why Mormons are not Christian let me just remind you again
Mormons are not Christian because they have a false testament. They have a false Jesus number three
They have a false God and God's
They have a false god and gods you see Mormons teach this doctrine of divine exultation
Okay
Meaning that you can become a god now go to Genesis 3 if you would
Doctrine and Covenants 1 32 19 through 20 says this then shall they be gods?
Because they have no end therefore shall they be from everlasting to everlasting referring to good Mormons
Then shall they be gods because they have all power and the angels are subject unto them doctrines and covenants
76 58 through 59 states
Wherefore as it is written they are gods
Even the sons of God
Wherefore all things are theirs whether life or death or things present or things to come
All are theirs and they are Christ and Christ is God's
Doctrine and Covenants 132 verse 37 says Abraham received promises concerning a seed
and they sit upon thrones and are not angels, but our gods."
Okay? Lorenzo Snow, the fifth Mormon prophet, stated this,
as man now is, listen to this, as man now is, God once was.
as God now is, man may be."
He taught this repeatedly,
famously known as the Lorenzo snow couplet.
Brigham Young, second Mormon prophet,
stated, how many gods there are?
I do not know, but there never was a time
when there were not gods.
He said this in his journal of discourse,
volume seven, page 333.
Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism,
stated this.
I will preach on the plurality of God's.
I have always declared God to be a distinct personage.
Jesus Christ is separate and distinct personage from God the Father,
and the Holy Ghost was a distinct personage and a spirit,
and these three constitute three distinct personages
and three gods.
Now this is how joseph smith explained it from the king of foyer discourse in 1844
He said God himself was once as we are now and is an exalted man and sits enthroned in yonder heavens
And by the way, what's the yonder heavens? He's referring to colob
Okay, so it gets cra- it gets weirder
Their God is on a planet called colob. I mean they even have a hymn singing about it
Don't ask me to sing. I don't know. I don't know the song you have got to learn how to be God's yourselves
And to be kings and priests to God, the same as all gods have done before you.
So this is a teaching that states that if you're a good little Mormon, you give your tides, you get married in the Mormon church,
you make your covenants in the Mormon tabernacle with the little secret handshakes and you live a good Mormon life,
you can be a God having celestial babies for the rest of eternity on your own planet.
Look at Genesis 3 verse 4 and the serpent said into the woman ye shall not surely die.
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eye shall be open,
and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. The Bible says here, O Israel,
the Lord our God is one Lord. Amen.
It's not gods, if there's gods, they're false gods.
There's only one true God, God the Father, God the Son,
God the Holy Spirit, these three are one.
It's one God, three persons in one God.
Not a plurality of God, okay?
And so this is obviously a major false doctrine and you know
Joseph Smith said and so to bring him young that gods have always existed
Well, the Bible says in Isaiah 43 verse 10
You are my witness to say at the Lord and my servant whom I have chosen that you may know and believe me and understand
That I am he before me. There was no God formed
Neither shall there be after me now. I don't encourage you to show these verses to Mormons
Because they don't care. I
Promise you that
You can try but they will literally just ignore everything you're saying and just move on
Because this is what they'll say well
I just believe we believe what the Mormon churches teaches basically subverting the word of God
Undermining what the Bible actually teaches okay, and so Mormonism is not Christianity because of their false testaments
Because of their false Jesus because of their false God and God's but also they give a false hope
Now this is a major major weird doctrine in the Mormon church
Let me see if I'm gonna cover something else here
And that is the degrees of glory. How many have ever heard of the degrees of glory? Okay. It's very strange
So Mormons in general
Don't really teach that anybody is gonna go to hell
Okay, now they'll teach a concept of hell, but their concept of hell is simply outer darkness
But in general they believe everyone
the majority of humanity
Will experience one of these three glories. So heaven is essentially kind of broken into three sections
Celestial terrestrial and this made-up word called celestial
And one of the reasons I say the made-up word because it's not a word
Someone just made it up
We know what celestial means. We know what terrestrial means telestial
That's not a word
You know
Joseph's like just put till just just move the letters run a little bit
They'll buy into it. They buy they buy into everything
These are the degrees of glory, okay, so if you so this is one of the reasons why
You know, they basically call everyone children of God because their belief is that all of
humanity, except for a very small segment of the population.
Pretty much everyone else is going to go to one of these three here, which is still considered heaven eternal eternal glory or whatever
And then that very small segment of the population. It's their rendition of reprobates
Will go to
Outer darkness. Okay. Now the first one celestial is for faithful Mormons who receive ordinances
Okay, so this this is your missionary 10 speeder tithing, you know married in the Mormon church
Binding yourself with oaths by the way, which is something they they do
You say what did they get all these secret handshakes? Well, joseph smith was a free mason before he actually started the the church of Mormon
Okay, so we saw all the you know secret handshakes and he's like, oh, you know
Say less. I'm gonna try that out too. That seems like it's working here
So anybody who's a faithful Mormon who receives the ordinances
Behaves themselves as a good good old Mormon will receive the celestial
Glory the terrestrial is for honorable non-mormons or lukewarm members
So this celestial group is very small, but it's still heaven to them
The terrestrial is a larger group because these are just honorable non-mormons. This is like you and me
So we would actually you know qualify apparently for the for the terrestrial glory
You know if you're just like a law-abiding citizen
You know, you're just you're not really a bad person or you're just like a lukewarm warm Mormon
You know, you're not gonna reach the celestial, but you'll get the terrestrial, okay?
Teless you'll okay
Whatever that is the third level this is still heaven by the way
So please understand this. Okay, this is still heaven. This is still glory. This is still eternal life
Okay, this is still good in their eyes. Who's this for wicked?
Unrepentant, but not a postate
And when I say wicked I'm talking about murderers rapists
Because they list some of the sins and they're like you'll still be a part of the celestial
segment there, okay
And then you have the outer darkness.
These are for the sons of perdition who knew and denied God.
These are the ones who essentially, you know,
knew the Mormon gospel, rejected the Mormon gospel,
and became antagonistic towards the Mormon gospel.
These people actually go to the outer darkness.
That is essentially the ones who go to hell, okay?
That's their version of it.
So the celestial kingdom is actually taught
in doctrines and covenants.
I'm not going to go through all the verses here, but I'll read the very last line and
it says, these are they whose glory is that of the sun, even the glory of God, the highest
of all.
So the way Joseph Smith justifies this doctrine in comparison to the Bible is that he'll use
1 Corinthians 15.
And if you've read 1 Corinthians 15,
you'll see that it refers to the resurrection, right?
And how the glory of one body is far more glorious
than the other.
It talks about the glory of the moon,
the glory of the sun.
And this is simply referring to the fact that
in the resurrection, some will shine brighter than others.
It's not referring to levels of heaven, okay?
She's referring to the glorified body after the resurrection.
Well, he uses to say, well, you know,
those of the celestial are like the sun,
those of the terrestrial are like the moon, and so forth.
So that's the celestial kingdom.
The terrestrial one says this in doctrines and covenants and again we saw the terrestrial world
and behold lo these are they who are of the terrestrial whose glory differs from that of
the church of the firstborn who have received the fullness of the father even as that of the
moon differs from the sun in the firmament behold these are they who died without law
and also they who are the spirits of men kept in prison
whom the sun visited and preached the gospel unto them that they might be judged according to men
in the flesh. So after this you have the telestial group and of course the telestial are the wicked
people these are the people who are extremely you know evil and wicked but they're not apostate
It says this gives the spirits in prison the chance to accept or reject the ordinances performed to them in the
Telestial Kingdom. It says this and again, we saw the glory of the Telestial
Which glories that are the lesser even as the glory of the stars different from that of the glory of the moon and the
Firmament. These are they who received not the gospel of Christ, neither the testimony of Jesus
These are they who deny not the Holy Spirit. These are they listen to this who are liars
sorcerers
adulterers
and whosoever loves and makes a lie.
Now, if you've read your Bible,
this phrase is found in both Revelation 21
and Revelation 22 about people who are going to hell.
Yeah, Joseph Smith takes this and said,
no, this is for the telestial, okay?
But hold on a second, there's good news
for those of people who are sorcerers
and adulterers and hormongers.
If you die in that state.
And you go to the celestial kingdom, you can be promoted.
You don't have to be there, but wait, there's more.
You say, why?
Because according to Mormon doctrine,
people can be baptized for the dead, okay?
And this is a legitimate ordinance in the Mormon church
where faithful Mormons are given records of the deceased
and basically they're baptized for them.
So if someone died as an adulterer or a rapist,
you know, there's some sort of criminal or whatever,
they can say, all right, let's promote this guy too,
the terrestrial by getting baptized for him.
And the way this works is basically
when they're baptized for the dead,
the spirits of these individuals
who are both in the celestial kingdom
have an opportunity to receive the gospel
in this particular realm.
If they you know some I don't know some some demon or something comes up and said hey
Just want to let you know someone back got baptized for you or do you want to accept the gospel?
They're like
Yeah, I'm tired of the celestial. I want to go to the terrestrial. All right, and then they get promoted to the terrestrial
That's how it works. So the dead can be baptized for okay
Now the point that I'm making with that is that all people who have died are in a spirit prison
And initially they were waiting for Jesus Christ to come and preach the gospel to them.
Okay?
And now they can be baptized for the dead.
They can be baptized for.
This is a doctrine that's also taught in dispensationalism.
The difference is, it's called what?
Abraham's bosom.
You say, how can there be such similarities?
They're both from the 1800s.
Literally the same decade.
They're both false prophet reprobates and they both had the same lion spirit
You know you guys remember the story in the Old Testament where it's like who shall be a lion spirit in the mouth of the prophets
I remember that one lion spirit. There was like a lion spirit in the 1800s. It's like I got a really good idea
I'm going to talk about Abraham's bosom and I'll call it spear prison for the west coast the west side
And I'll call it, you know, I'll call it Abraham's bosom for the Middle East
You know, and then he went it was a lion spirit in the mouth of the prophets
This is why both of these guys are basically teaching this
Okay, go to Revelation 21 if you would Revelation 21
Revelation 21
So these are the three glories that you could obtain in Mormonism, okay?
Celestial terrestrial celestial and if you don't like the celestial someone can be baptized free
You accept the gospel through that baptism and then you can be promoted to the terrestrial kingdom that glory and again
Doctrines and Covenants says, these are they,
referring to the telestial, who are liars, sorcerers,
adulterers, hormongers, and whosoever loves and makes a lie.
Revelation 21a says, but the fearful and unbelieving
and the abominable and murderers and hormongers
and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars
shall have their part in the lake which burneth
with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
Now, if you want to call that telestial, have at it.
It's still hell.
according to the Bible. Okay? Look at chapter 22, verse number 5,
for without referring to hell, the lake of fire, for without
our dogs and sorcerers and hormongers and murderers and
idolaters and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. So,
don't tell me Joseph Smith did not read the Bible. Of course, he read the Bible.
Joseph Smith read the Word of God, he knew what the Word of God taught, and he intentionally
misconstrued it in order to damn people to hell what they refer to as the celestial kingdom.
Now here's the thing is that, you know, go with me if you would, here's the last portion
of scripture, go to Matthew 7, Matthew 7.
Let me read to you about the outer darkness and we're almost done here
doctrines and covenants verse chapter 76 says this
Thus say the Lord concerning all those who knew my power and have been made partakers thereof and suffered themselves through the power of the
Devil to be overcome. These are they who are the sons of perdition
Wherefore he saves all except them so again, he saves anybody
Everyone in this world except for these guys. This is their rendition of the reprobates, right?
They shall go away into everlasting punishment, which is endless punishment, which is eternal punishment to reign
With the devil and his angels in eternity
So it's just like hey, you're gonna be punished, but you're gonna be reigning with you know
The devil and his angels and whatnot and this is the kind of stuff that unsay people say in order to mock hell
Right, I rather rain in hell with my friends or whatever and the devil than to be in submission to God in heaven or something like that
Well, how about it?
Okay, so outer darkness is reserved for the devil his angels and a few sons of perdition
Okay, now Joseph Smith his teaching on page 358 says this
No man can commit the unpardonable sin after this illusion of the body, but must do it while in the flesh
There are but few who commit the unpardonable sin and this is in context of the outer darkness
He's like you guys don't really have to worry about that because it's only for a few people
Only a few people will go to hell only a few people will go into outer darkness. This is what he's stating Bruce
Mcconkey, okay, don't judge him on his first name, please apostle the Mormon doctrine said this few
Among the human family will be sons of perdition far the greater part of all men will yet be saved in one of the kingdoms of glory
So this guy Joseph Smith. They're both saying only a couple people are gonna go to the hell
Only a couple people will be punished with everlasting punishment only a few
James Talmadge said this the sons of perdition are few
They're the only ones who will suffer the second death
Eternally so throughout the ages Mormons had said hey pretty much everyone's gonna receive glory
You're all gonna be saved. This is only for like the select you okay the outer darkness in hell
That is a such a damnable heresy. It's it's crazy. Look at Matthew 7 verse 13
Enter ye in at the straight gate for wide is the gate
Broad is the way that leadeth to destruction and many there be which go in there at.
You know what the Bible is telling us there?
More people will be in hell than they'll be in heaven.
That's a fact.
This is why when a religion says, oh yeah, how many people you got in your church, you know?
Look how many people are in the Roman Catholic Church.
Well, broad is the way, though.
That's not a flex, bro.
Not according to the Bible.
You know, oh, look at Islam look at how many conferences long yeah, because broad is the way
This is what the Bible teaches and you know what you agree with Mormonism
Because Mormons teach oh man, you know, you know
Everyone's gonna be saved because even the Roman Catholic Church teaches that if someone makes it to heavens because of Catholicism even if they're not Catholic
That's literally what the so what's the point of even being Catholic then?
And people will tell me so do you have to become Baptist to be saved?
No, you have to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved
You know you have to place your faith exclusively upon Jesus Christ to be saved
And you know what if you're a Baptist and you haven't believed on the Lord Jesus Christ you're joining Joseph Smith
You're going to that outer darkness. You're going to the celestial kingdom
He says because straight as the gate narrows the way which lead it into life and few there be that find it
He follows up with beware false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but
inwardly they are ravening wolves.
We see here that according to the Bible, unfortunately, the sad reality is this.
There's not going to be as many people in heaven as there are people in hell.
Okay, and if there's anything that we can get from this sermon aside from the fact that we need to make sure we don't compromise
and make make excuses to justify Mormons and just say well they're good people and so therefore we should
You know we should join forces with them, you know the enemy of my enemy is my friend
Mormons don't like liberals, so we're cool and wrong
It's not the way it works my friends
You know, we need to make sure that we stay loyal to the Lord Jesus Christ to the Bible
And you know what Jesus has the strictest standards when it comes to this
He has the strictest laws when it comes to this and you know what?
He doesn't appreciate when Christians are just bearing with that which is evil and
Just allowing that making excuses for that calling good evil and evil good is a sin in the eyes of God
Okay Mormons and our Christians now look
Should we try to win them to Christ? Of course now we're not going to start a ministry here, you know, you know
What's reaching Mormons or whatever? Let's reach the 10 speeders
10 speeders for Christ or whatever
Well, you know, I've won Mormons to Christ though
Very few but you know, I remember years ago at my old church
I got a Mormon lady saved and it's because she was backslidden from the Mormon Church
She had been back to them for a long time.
It was weird, you know, she was a Mormon
and her husband was a Jehovah's Witness.
And they're both back to them, they both got saved,
they both got baptized, they both got into church,
they both became King James only.
I mean, they both became, you know,
just fiery Christians, it was great.
But you know what, that was like the only last time
that I got like a Mormon saved.
Because in general, they're very close to the gospel
because they bind themselves with oaths and vows
and have become a curse.
I don't think we should you know be prejudiced against them in the sense of like oh if I see when I'm not gonna give him a
Gospel to him if they're at the door
But you know what I will rebuke a Mormon on his bike though
Why he's not bothering anybody excuse me
He's not bothering anybody. He's literally sending people to he's preaching a false gospel
He's literally going against Jesus Christ
He's a false prophet. That's what the Bible teaches. You know if this bothers you
It only shows me and it should show you that you have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness
You tolerate it you bear with it that you're okay with it and shame on you if that's the case
Shame on you as a Christian if that's you
Because we ought to be loyal to the Bible we ought to be loyal to the right salvation the right Jesus Christ the right Testament
These guys are preaching another Jesus another Testament another gospel and therefore the Bible says let him be a curse
Let's pray father. We thank you so much for your word and thank you for the truth Lord
Thank you for the truth and how it sheds light on the false religions of this world
I pray that you'd help us as your people not to be deceived not to tolerate not to compromise
He blesses as we go on our way Lord. Give us a great service tonight in Jesus name. We pray amen
