Coffee Keeps Mormons From Eternal Life GLM 2025-09-24 | In Mormonism, coffee, tea, and alcohol are, essentially, prerequisites for eternal life. If Latter-day Saints must abstain from coffee/tea/alcohol (per Word of Wisdom) in order to hold a temple recommend, and if temple works are necessary for exaltation/eternal life in the Celestial Kingdom, then keeping the Word of Wisdom has functionally become necessary to having the fullness of eternal life. That's not only an unnecessary restriction—it's a false Gospel.#ldschurch #lds #mormonbeliefs #mormon #wordofwisdom #coffee #religion #theology #ldsbeliefs #faith
Why Mormonism FORBIDS Coffee (And Why It Shouldnt) GLM 2025-09-23 | Should Christians obey the "Word of Wisdom"? Latter-day Saints are required to adhere to a set of rules laid out by LDS Apostles summarized in the Word of Wisdom. These requirements restrict faithful Mormons from drinking certain beverages such as alcohol, coffee, and tea.Because obedience to the Word of Wisdom is required to gain entrance into a Temple, these restrictions are—essentially—prerequisites for eternal life. But is this what the Bible teaches? Does God restrict the consumption of coffee, tea, and alcohol?Christians are to enjoy God's good gifts—to include coffee! While Mormonism's Apostles and Prophets restrict what we can enjoy, the Bible tells us that such restrictions are unbiblical. While members of the LDS Church are told to abstain, true Christians are free in Christ to enjoy coffee, tea, and even alcohol."For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit."

Who Exactly Were The Other Sheep That Jesus Spoke About? GLM 2025-09-09 | Who are Jesus' other sheep that are not of this fold? Many Latter-day Saints believe this verse refers to Christ’s appearance to the Nephites in the Book of Mormon. But is that really what Jesus meant?Mormonism claims that the events of the Book of Mormon were the fulfillment of prophecy - that Jesus would personally come to other Israelites who were in the Americas. In John 10:16, Jesus says “I have other sheep that are not of this fold.” Should we understand those other sheep to be the Nephites? When we look at the rest of the Bible, it becomes clear that the fulfillment of this text wasn't an unknown event on the other side of the planet, but something that was fulfilled in the days of Acts through the work of Jesus' Apostles.The house of Judah, the lost sheep of Israel, and the other sheep of the Gentiles were all brought into the New Testament Church in fulfillment of Old Testament prophesy. --SUBSCRIBE: youtube.com/GodLovesMormons?sub_confirmation=1SUPPORT OUR MINISTRY: god-loves-mormons-459235.churchcenter.com/giving/to/god-loves-mormons--RELATED VIDEOS:- Does 1 Corinthians 15 teach that there are different levels of heaven?: youtu.be/HPx9jtE4G8w- Ezekiel 37 and the "Two Sticks": youtu.be/GytQz7Rh3eQ- Contradiction: Book of Mormon vs. The Bible: youtu.be/N2XropKvsUI- How Psalm 110 Disproves Mormonism's Naming Conventions: youtu.be/VZl7ZamIEhA- Did we Preexist?: youtu.be/uaHpbUNkrdg- Is a Great Apostasy prophesied in the Bible?: youtu.be/NxTrg9EhcgQ#christian #christianity #theology #gospelofjohn #exegesis #biblestudy #bible #exmo #exmormon #jesus #bibleverse #bibleteaching
What is the TRUE Point of Marriage? GLM 2025-08-19 | If marriage isn't forever, then why does it exist? The Bible tells us that the marriage relationship dissolves after death. But in life, it was intended to serve as an illustration of something. In fact, the Bible says that the reason God invented marriage was to illustrate the love Jesus has for The Church.#lds #ldschurch #marriage #temple #ldstemple #exmo #exmormon #christianfaith #faith
This WILL Change Your View Of The Afterlife GLM 2025-08-14 | Mormonism and Christianity teach vastly different things about where we go after we die. The LDS Church teaches that all mankind is saved through the atonement of Christ, and will be resurrected into one of three different Kingdoms of Glory. Christianity has historically taught that there are only two potential destinations for mankind: Heaven, or hell. So, where do Christians get their understanding of heaven and hell? What will heaven be like?In this video, we explain the LDS beliefs about heaven, and where Mormonism's teaching diverges from historic Christian understandings about eternity. We'll also consider what the Bible has to say about where we go after we die.The Bible speaks to this issue plainly and consistently—if we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, we will dwell with God for all eternity in heaven. If we do not, we will be judged for our works, and be condemned to the eternal Lake of Fire.--SUBSCRIBE: youtube.com/GodLovesMormons?sub_confirmation=1SUPPORT OUR MINISTRY: god-loves-mormons-459235.churchcenter.com/giving/to/god-loves-mormons--RELATED VIDEOS:Does 1 Corinthians 15 teach that there are different levels of heaven?: youtu.be/HPx9jtE4G8wAre there biblical grounds for believing in hell?: youtu.be/1T1lLm_2l24Explaining Justification by Faith: youtu.be/2IaSPSfw2nwIs there Marriage in Heaven?: youtu.be/4w7F2VtIv1ADid we Preexist?: youtu.be/uaHpbUNkrdgWhy Baptism for the Dead is NOT a Christian Practice: youtu.be/gsKg4lZJf6w#mormonbeliefs #mormonism #lds #ldschurch #ldsbeliefs #christianreligion #christian #christianity #theology #heaven #hell
Joseph Smith: Gold Plates & Magic Dates GLM 2025-08-13 | A lot of people know that Joseph Smith was involved in folk magic, but many don't know all of the details. Not only did Joseph Smith use a magic seer stone for Book of Mormon translation of the gold plates, he also used a seer stone to hunt for buried treasure. Additionally, he was able to see the plates on September 22 every year—a date well known in folk magic: the Atumnal Equinox.Joseph Smith was involved in magic practices before and during the early eras of Mormonism. Sandra Tanner once said, Palmyra Mormonism could be called the era of Magic Mormonism.#josephsmith #ldschurch #mormon #mormonism #exmo #exmormon #mormonhistory #ldshistory #moroni

Did They Just Destroy Christianity’s View of God? GLM 2025-08-01 | Does God exaggerate about Himself? The Bible is full of statements that say God is the only God. But could those be linguistic expressions—hyperbole that really explained how God was the greatest God for us? Some Latter-day Saints point out that Babylon uses similar language to God. If Babylon can say "I am, and there is no other besides me" while other cities exist, might God be using it the same way? Could this, then, allow for other exalted beings to exist in the cosmos, as Mormonism claims? Mormon beliefs teach that men can become gods, or at least like God. Yet, God says that there is no being like Him. So what is God really saying? Should we take His statements as hyperbole, or as absolute theological truths? In this video, I explain why God's statements in Isaiah 40-48 should be taken straightforwardly, and why I cannot agree with the LDS teaching of exaltation and eternal progression.-SUBSCRIBE: youtube.com/GodLovesMormons?sub_confirmation=1SUPPORT OUR MINISTRY: god-loves-mormons-459235.churchcenter.com/giving/to/god-loves-mormons--RELATED VIDEOS:The History of the King Follett Discourse: youtu.be/yftxJnonOKYWhat Mormonism gets wrong about God: youtu.be/c3TKEZeriSQDo men become angels?: youtu.be/y8iUair3df0Can we become gods someday?: youtu.be/HT_uslVTJUU"Ye are gods" explained: youtu.be/IIVK8RwSqaQDid we exist before this life on earth?: youtu.be/uaHpbUNkrdgWhy do Christians oppose LDS Temples?: youtu.be/gZyeOB7WAQIEternal Marriage is the Misplaced Goal of Mormonism: youtu.be/x64nb6DuDfw------#lds #mormonism #bible #exmormon #christian #christianity #mormon #ldschurch #god #whoisgod #theology #theologyexplained

Biblical Marks of a False Prophet GLM 2025-07-24 | God strongly condemns and indicts so-called prophets who speak the inventions of their own minds. Given all the changes in Mormonism, is it not fair to say that LDS prophets and apostles have spoken inventions of their own hearts and minds? Is it not fair to say that some of their teachings were the teachings of man, and not of God? Ezekiel 13 and Jeremiah 23 speak about God's wrath against the false prophets who presume to speak a word that God has not spoken. That seems to fit exactly what Latter-day Saints leaders have done throughout the LDS Church's 200 years of existence. #lds #mormonfaith #mormon #ldschurch #exmo #exmormon #christian #mormonism #ldsprophet

What Happens to Marriage After Death? GLM 2025-07-16 | Paul uses marriage as an illustration to demonstrate the Christian's relationship to the law. After we die, the marriage relationship dissolves. Similarly, since we have died in Christ - we are dead to the law. We are no longer under law, but under grace.This helps us understand that Paul didn't have any notion of marriage being an eternal covenant. After death, one is freed from their marriage covenant.#lds #ldschurch #marriage #temple #ldstemple #exmo #exmormon #christianfaith #faith

The LDS Church Denied THIS For 100 Years...Until Now GLM 2025-07-11 | This 1886 revelation about polygamy was just released on the LDS Church website. The revelation, given by LDS President John Taylor, seems to indicate that polygamy is an unchangeable and irrevocable practice of Mormonism. But is that was it really says?Mormon fundamentalists (polygamists) have cited this 1886 Revelation to prove that plural marriage is an eternal, unchangeable law. But the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has denied its existence for around 100 years—that is, until June 2025.It seems that the Mormon polygamists were right about this John Taylor plural marriage revelation. But what does that mean for Mormonism? Should plural marriage have continued after the LDS Manifesto of 1890? Was John Taylor proven to be a false prophet? Or does this revelation mean very little?In this video, we take a closer look at the John Taylor 1886 Revelation about Mormon polygamy and the doctrine of Plural Marriage. What does it say? What's the history surrounding it? Why does it matter for Mormon fundamentalism?

Why Do Christians Seem To MISREPRESENT Mormonism? GLM 2025-06-24 | Do Evangelicals intentionally misrepresent LDS beliefs? Or are most Christians ignorant of the fact that a lot of prior Mormon teachings aren't "official" doctrines?I am often accused of straw-manning Mormonism, presenting unofficial teachings and then knocking those teachings down. I'm not alone in this—a lot of evangelicals are accused of misrepresenting Mormonism and lying about the beliefs of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Even though I know that many Latter-day Saints don't deem the teachings I present as official LDS beliefs, I continue to critique those beliefs. But, I don't believe this is a misrepresentation.In this video, I explain why it's difficult for Evangelicals to understand what constitutes official Mormon doctrine, and how there's a variety of LDS positions on binding doctrine in the LDS Church.

5 Reasons “Eternal Marriage” is a False LDS Teaching GLM 2025-05-29 | Will there be Marriage in Heaven? Latter-day Saints claim that we can be sealed to our spouse for "time and all eternity", but does the Bible really teach that marriage is eternal?In this video, we take a deep dive into what the Bible says about marriage and the afterlife. There are 5 key biblical reasons to reject the LDS doctrine of eternal marriage. The idea that we must be married in order to progress and receive the fulness of eternal life does not align with either the teachings of Jesus or those of His apostles.In Matthew 22, Jesus was asked a question about marriage by the Sadducees. In his response, he makes clear that marriage will not persist into the next life. Marriage is not an eternal institution. Rather, it's a created illustration meant to image Christ’s love for the Church. Marriage, like many earthly blessings, points us forward to a far greater joy: eternal union with Christ.--SUBSCRIBE: youtube.com/GodLovesMormons?sub_confirmation=1SUPPORT OUR MINISTRY: god-loves-mormons-459235.churchcenter.com/giving/to/god-loves-mormons--RELATED VIDEOS:Did we exist before this life on earth?: youtu.be/uaHpbUNkrdgWhy do Christians oppose LDS Temples?: youtu.be/gZyeOB7WAQIEternal Marriage is the Misplaced Goal of Mormonism: youtu.be/x64nb6DuDfwWhy Baptism for the Dead is NOT Biblical: youtu.be/gsKg4lZJf6wIs the Great Apostasy Biblically and Historically True?: youtu.be/rMhfNBgUjHo------#lds #mormonism #bible #exmormon #christian #christianity #mormon #familyisforever #familiesareforever #ldschurch

Fact or LDS Fiction: Did We Exist BEFORE Life on Earth? GLM 2025-05-08 | Did we really live with God before our earthly life? Mormonism teaches that we existed in a pre-mortal life as spirit children of Heavenly Father—but is this what the Bible teaches?In this video, we examine the LDS doctrine of preexistence (premortality) and compare it with the clear teaching of the Bible. This doctrine is essential to get right, because it shapes the way we view both God and man. If we really were born to Heavenly Father in a pre-existence, then Mormonism's view of Heavenly Father and our future exaltation makes some logical sense. If, however, we were created by God here on earth, then the LDS view of exaltation, progression, and eternal life needs to be re-examined.Many Latter-day Saints appeal to verses such as Jeremiah 1:5 to demonstrate that a premortal life is biblical.

This One Sermon Might Prove That Joseph Smith Was A Fraud GLM 2025-04-11 | The King Follett Discourse: Can one sermon make or break Joseph Smith’s prophetic claims? The King Follett Sermon (KFD) was Joseph Smith’s final General Conference talk, and his most famous and controversial sermon of all time. He preached it at the LDS General Conference to provide comfort to grieving members, make bold declarations about God’s nature, and instruct people on man's essential nature. But what most people don't realize? He staked his own authenticity as a prophet on its truthfulness.Discover how Smith’s statements about God once being a man, children reigning as eternal children, and humanity’s divine potential sparked centuries of debate among Latter-day Saints and Christian critics alike. We’ll explore how LDS leaders have interpreted (and sometimes modified) the discourse, confront the controversies surrounding Smith’s teachings, and ask: If these doctrines are false, what does that mean for Joseph Smith himself?If you're curious to learn more about the LDS Church's reception of the King Follett Discourse, it's history, controversies, and textual notes - check out William V.

Utah Pastor: Why Latter-day Saints Miss The TRUE Temple GLM 2025-03-24 | How does the New Testament speaks about the Old Testament Tabernacle and Temple systems? How are parts of the tabernacle fulfilled by Jesus? What does the Gospel of John teach about Jesus and the Tabernacle system? In this video, a Utah Pastor challenges the traditional LDS view of temples by exploring biblical temple imagery and the true meaning of worship. Drawing on rich Old and New Testament symbolism, Pastor Matt Emadi explains how the physical temple was only a shadow pointing to a greater reality—Jesus himself. According to the Bible, the fulfillment of the temple is not found in brick-and-mortar temples, but in Christ and the community of believers.The ancient tabernacle, with all its symbolism, finds its ultimate fulfillment in the person and work of Jesus. 👇Special thank you to Pastor Matt Emadi of Crossroads Church in Sandy, Utah for being a part of this episode!

Why Baptism for the Dead is NOT a Christian Practice GLM 2025-03-12 | According to the Mormon practice of "Baptism for the Dead", those who have already died can have proxy baptisms performed on their behalf by living Latter-Day saints. 1 Corinthians 15:29 is often cited as a proof text for this practice, but is LDS Baptism for the dead actually a Biblical practice? Can we find Mormonism's practice of proxy works anywhere in the Bible?Here's what the Bible says, "Otherwise, what do people mean by being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized on their behalf?" (1 Corinthians 15:29).What did Paul mean in this verse? Should Christians be performing baptisms for those who have died? We don't think so, and are going to explain in this video why the Mormon practice of proxy baptism is actually unbiblical.When we consider what the Bible teaches, we need to substantially consider what the text is and is not saying. Just because a practice is mentioned in 1 Corinthians 15:29 does not mean that Christians are commanded to do that practice.--SUBSCRIBE: youtube.com/GodLovesMormons?sub_confirmation=1SUPPORT OUR MINISTRY: god-loves-mormons-459235.churchcenter.com/giving/to/god-loves-mormonsRELATED VIDEOS:- Why do Christians oppose LDS temples?: youtu.be/gZyeOB7WAQI- The Problem with Secret Mormon Temple Rituals: youtu.be/JHqRJNLGZXw- What Every Christian Needs to Know About Mormonism: youtu.be/5wLnU1nHnP8- Where Is Christianity's Modern Temple?: youtu.be/B3UavbXJ3Ao- Does 1 Corinthians 15 teach three degrees of glory?--#baptism #christianity #biblestudy #bibleverse #ldschurch #lds #exmo #exmormon #apologetics #theology #faith #religion 00:00 1 Corinthians 15:29 & Baptism For The Dead2:16 A Missing Doctrine3:40 Verse 29's Pronoun Problem5:07 The Bible Is Against Proxy Works8:35 Proxy Work Cheapens Jesus' Atonement9:41 5 Reasons to Reject "Baptism for the Dead"

5 MORE Things the LDS Church No Longer Teaches GLM 2025-02-24 | What teachings and practices have changed in Mormonism in the last 200 years? In the brief history of the LDS Church, there have been a number of substantial changes in both teachings and church policy.In this video, I examine 5 more distinct teachings that Mormon Prophets and Apostles used to teach that are no longer taught or practiced by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.(If you missed the first "5 Changes" video, check it out here: youtu.be/qoT8xo_ROOo)If Mormonism's "prophets" teach the inventions of their own mind, they're shown to be false prophets.
