A predator should feel unsafe in the Church.

Mormons are often very personally offended when Christians say that Mormonism isn’t Christian. This is dumb.

Joseph Smith’s first “encounter” with God involves God telling Smith that every creed Christians profess is an abomination to God.

Every creed.

That includes the Nicene Creed. They reject who God is, who Jesus is, the nature of salvation, the nature of exaltation, the clear teaching of Scripture, etc..

Mormonism rejects the very core of the Christian faith in all its essentials. Joseph Smith knew this but nowadays they are playing mind games with their own people and with real Christians.

Either THEY are Christians or WE are. It’s one or the other. Not both.

When asked “Will all be damned but Mormons?” Smith replied, “Yes, and a great portion of them unless they repent and work righteousness” (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pg. 119)

The Doctrine and Covenants (1:30) leaves no doubt to the Mormon teaching of exclusivity when it says the LDS Church is “the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth, with which I, the Lord, am well pleased ….”

Brigham Young, second only to Joseph Smith in Mormonism said…

“Should you ask why we differ from other Christians, as they are called, it is simply because they are not Christians as the New Testament defines Christianity” (Journal of Discourses 10:230).

“The Christian world, so-called, are heathens as to the knowledge of the salvation of God” (Journal of Discourses 8:171).

I could easily give you pages of them saying they are the only true Christians and how we are all ignorant beasts and our doctrines are wrong. They knew at the time they had a different God, gospel, Scripture, and system of belief. But now it has become expedient to pretend otherwise while still preaching all those false and unchristian things.

Mormons, your leaders are gaslighting you and you are gaslighting us. You aren’t Christian but we want you to be. Flee from Mormonism. Flee from Joseph Smith.

@MikeWingerii But what book??

[Matthew @matthewstraub]

Who has ascended into heaven and descended?
Who has gathered the wind in His fists?
Who has wrapped the waters in His garment?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is His name or His son’s name? Surely you know!
Proverbs 30:4 NASB1995

Are Christians wise to ignore the alien/UFO debate? This answer may surprise you. https://t.co/tMjKKnHqZs

[Matthew @matthewstraub]

@MikeWingerii To be fair, are they not implying that discernment would prove them false?

Always true.

[Matthew @matthewstraub]

@SmithtonJames @malachiobrien That sounds unhealthy, not like any church I've known.

[Matthew @matthewstraub]

@malachiobrien I'm pretty sure you don't need to be a senior pastor to know that covering up for sexual predation is wrong, and false prophecy is wrong. Also, this youtuber you aren't mentioning has stated many times he is under the authority of his elders in his local church. Do your research.

@MikeWingerii Mike, I'm 2 hours and 6 minutes in so far... just a quick note for Peter, circumstantial evidence is still evidence. In fact, all evidence is circumstantial in some way. I say this as someone in a career of police evidence/crime scene analysis.

[Matthew @matthewstraub]

@MikeWingerii Well, that's a clue.

[Matthew @matthewstraub]

@HwsEleutheroi Not sure any of them believe in Scripture at all... only as a means to an end.

[Matthew @matthewstraub]

@MikeWingerii Wow. Just wow. Praying for you, Mike!

[Matthew @matthewstraub]

@MostlyPeaceful Is this how excuse for not building the high speed train?

[Matthew @matthewstraub]

@libsoftiktok As someone who has reviewed CP for my law enforcement job, this is disgusting and infuriating.

[Matthew @matthewstraub]

@HwsEleutheroi Dr. White, just an encouragement here...this chart makes total sense. Clearly it's referring to the difference between the Roman Catholic Church and the Protestant church ca. 1563. Seems pretty spot on as well. 🤷‍♂️

[Matthew @matthewstraub]

@JesseKellyDC 🤣

@sarahfaith316 @MikeWingerii My first thought watching this was, is there some hidden joke with the Styrofoam? What am I missing???

[Matthew @matthewstraub]

Spent 30mins talking to a jewish man named Anthon in front of our church tonight. Tried my best to explain the Trinity, Jesus as the Passover lamb, & Jesus as the fulfillment of the OT. Thankful for @MikeWingerii, @WesleyLHuff, & Walter Martin. Praying God waters the seed!

@tedcruz I agree with Joy Behar. It would be narcissistic - if He was wrong. But He wasn't.
