  My teenage best friends were Mormons. I was Christian. We had friendly arguments centered on the Bible in which we always concluded that the other was being deceived by Satan. I was a big nerd ,not cool enough for my Christian peers . I am so thankful for my very humble, kindhearted, Mormon friends. I pray for those who leave LDS and that they won’t give up on Jesus. They need to be convinced that there is One God in three persons. Not an easy concept. It’s something they will have to experience through the Spirit.

  The Church welcomes sincere questions and dialogue. Genuine dialogue requires engaging with what LDS members actually believe, not with misconceptions or stereotypes that are often taken out of context.<br><br>Most attacks against The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are not attacks against what the Church actually teaches but against a caricature of LDS doctrine and theology.

  I was raised LDS, and at age 20 God showed me the truth through a friend and I was born again! Hallelujah! It’s a beautiful testimony, God is so tender and merciful. Glory to God forever and ever!

  A major problem to me with regards to Mormonism is this:<br>1.) That Joseph Smith said that God told him, face to face, that of the existing churches,&quot; I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage <br>who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt;&quot; and,<br>2.) That the Apostle Paul said that even if an angel from heaven were to preach a different gospel, he should be accursed (Galatians 1:8).<br><br>So if the gospel preached by Joseph Smith is the same as what is taught in contemporary churches, then Mormonism is cursed by Joseph Smith; If the gospel preached by Joseph Smith is different, then it was cursed by the Apostle Paul. <br><br>That problem prevents me from taking Mormonism seriously.

  We, as people, are so easily duped if we do not “study to show ourselves approved”. &nbsp;Trust but verify, is a key to make sure you understand and pray. &nbsp;Seek the truth. &nbsp;Lord open the eyes and heart of these precious souls. &nbsp;Jesus is the way, truth and life. Amen

  I’ve met Eric a couple times in manti Utah, nice guy. I learned so much a few years I went there and learned under the top Mormon apologists.. I brought this knowledge home to Seattle and the local Mormons have been affected by the truth ! Thank you to Eric and the others who sowed into helping me refute this cult.!

  Before I knew much depth about being Mormon I went through the temple. I left because I had an overwhelming sense of evil in the temple.

  This is so helpful. Sean, please share this with Jenkins, the director of the Chosen. He is doing podcasts with Mormons stating evangelicals and Mormons have more in common than we differ in and we believe in and worship the same Jesus.

  You should talk to Tal Bachman, famous musician and son of legendary musician Randy Bachman. He has quite the story around reaching a crisis of faith when he discovered Mormonism was false.

  As someone who is currently LDS, I can guarantee you that if these Gospel Topic Essays were fully exposed in church, DROVES of LDS people would leave. Many of us have read them and would leave if we could. But there are too many still that will not read them and consider those of us who talk about them as apostates. The essays are absolutely being hidden and we are not supposed to talk about them. BTW I love listening to your channel.

  It&apos;s so strange, but when I woke up I looked around and realized the members of the LDS Church are under some trance.
