Song by Adam's Road (Ex-Mormon Christian Band): Stone Temples

[ShatterYourillusions]

I don't understand how someone can go from such an ingeniously complex cult, designed to brainwash and lock in its followers, to a less evolved belief system of Christianity when Mormonism ACTUALLY makes more sense. Christians thump the bible which is so ambiguous, contradictory, and meaning anything its readers want. I bet most Christians dont even know who wrote the bible. Hint-- NOT God. Jesus never wrote one word, and a lot of whats written about him was 70 after he and his apostles died.

[buellerferris]

Great job buddy!! I always listen to this song. I remember on my mission how awesome Joey always sang. He's always loved Christ more than anything and everyone else. Same with Wilder.

[junglesurvivalcamp]

I am a child of God and he has sent me here.

[leSavaii]

HEY! WAS THAT WHY YOU LEFT MORMONISMS?...You wanted to be prophets? And it's evidenced that you literally called yourselves as prophets. So....When was the last time the God you worship finally spoke to mankind?

[maximusjay]

"When was the last time the God you worship finally spoke to mankind?"

John the Baptist. That is the last Prophet of God to speak for God. Since that time God the Father speaks through Christ by way of the Holy Ghost directly to members of the Body of Christ such as members of Adam's Road and thousands of other Christians. Mormon "Prophets" are liars. The Bible speaks the Truth. It cannot be both ways. If Mormons speak the Truth then the Bible lies. Therefore Mormon "Apostles" are liars.

[leSavaii]

MAXIEDUDE "John the Baptist. That is the last Prophet of God to speak for God"

So, now you consider the Son of God, Jesus Christ not God, when He intercepted Saul? And how about Jesus' own Apostle John as a prisoner in the island of Patmos? (Book of Revlations) I believe these guys came way AFTER John the Baptist, didnt they?

My point is: Why is God ignoring your prayers & not even talking to you today. The Mormons are sharing the message that God & His Son both live & both speak to man today

[maximusjay]

"God"

Bible teaches that Christ & God the Father are two independent beings sharing a single Deity. Both R God. When U have seen Christ U have seen God the Father. The Apostles were not "Prophets" they were "prophets" having the gift of the Holy Ghost. The Gift of prophecy. John the Baptist was the Last Prophet. The Apostles were the first to have the Gift of Prophecy. God the Father through Christ by way of the Holy Ghost to the members of the body of Christ with the gift. Get it yet?

[leSavaii]

MAXIEDUDE "Bible teaches that Christ & God the Father are two independent beings sharing a single Deity"

Why not teach this same claim/belief to the rest of Catholicisms & Protestantisms. I said before...You can take the man off of Mormonisms, but you can't take Mormonisms off the man...Glad for spreading Mormonisms!

MAXIEDUE "The Apostles were not "Prophets" they were "prophets" having the gift of the Holy Ghost.

After admitting & calling yourselves as Prophets? UNBELIEVABLE HYPOCRISY!

[maximusjay]

"Why not teach this same claim/belief to the rest of Catholicisms & Protestantisms"

What I have stated is the Christian Trinity. You just don't understand it. It is not the same as the Mormons believe. They preach of different Gods. Billions of them. This is a Lie. There is only One God. Fries your little brain does it not?

[leSavaii]

MAXIEDUDE "What I have stated is the Christian Trinity"

What you're talking about is the Godhead (God the Father, God the Son & God the Holy Ghost) But as for the Holy Trinity, it is not biblical, a pagan belief adopted & force into people's lives with no choice at all, by the Catholic leadership, even death if you do not accept & believe in it.

Actually Mormons worship One God (God the Father) And in the Name of Jesus Christ or thru Jesus Christ the Mormons worship the Only God the Father.

[maximusjay]

"(God the Father, God the Son & God the Holy Ghost)"

No I am saying; God the Father, who is God, Jesus Christ, who is God, and the Holy Ghost who is God. I did not say nor did I mean that they are independent "Gods". What I say is Biblical. If you want to start with what is not "Biblical" you can start with the doctrines of the LDS Church Silly Mormon. You keep speaking of "Pagan" beliefs what you do not understand is that the LDS Churches true foundation is paganism and not the BIble.

[maximusjay]

"After admitting & calling yourselves as Prophets? UNBELIEVABLE HYPOCRISY"

Silly Mormon. The Gifts of the Holy Ghost were taught by the Apostles. You are unbelievable. You are saying that no one can have the gifts but the Apostles? Why then did Paul teach them and why are they held by thousands of Christians all over the World. The Authority to act in the Name of Christ comes only through the Gifts of the Spirit. It is not passed through any line of Authority. That ended with the Cross.

[leSavaii]

MAXIEDUDE "You are saying that no one can have the gifts but the Apostles?" (EXACTLY)

Why were the people standing outside never recieved the Holy Ghost, but only came down upon the Apostles & few others? The HG was promised to be with the Apostles 'til the end of their worlds (lives) So when they were all done & gone, the Authority given to them by Jesus Himself was then taken away (not lost) from this earth; God ceased His revelations & stopped talking to His children. He does speak today

[maximusjay]

"& few others"

Those "few others" were not only not baptized, never had hands laid upon them, and were not Jews, but they were given the Holy Ghost just like the Apostles. One thing is important before receiving the Holy Ghost, and that is praying for it. It is prayer that brings the Holy Ghost not the laying on of hands. It is prayer that brings the Holy Ghost, not Baptism by water with one having authority. All Faithful believers in Christ are given Authority. Wake up and seek the truth.

[leSavaii]

ACTS.1:8 "And ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost shall come upon you.."

The Priesthood Authority is not The Holy Ghost. Jesus gave His Apostles this Authority to preach & to baptize way before the day of the Pentecost. The same Authority that the 11.Apostles were able to choose a replacement of Judah, that event too accomplished before the Pentecost.

Jesus continued (ACTS.1:8) "... and ye shall be witnesses unto me..." after receiving the HG

[maximusjay]

"The Priesthood Authority is not The Holy Ghost"

You are incorrect. Power=Authority. They would receive Authority once the Holy Ghost came.

"Apostles were able to choose a replacement of Judah"

The Apostles replaced judas without authority. Christ told them to wait for the Holy Ghost. He did not give them authority to Choose a New Apostle, and they did not wait. Thus Christ ignored their choice and chose His own 12th Apostle to replace Judas. That Apostle was Paul. (Chosen not by men)

[leSavaii]

MAXIEMIXEDUP "You are incorrect"(SORRY FOR YOUR BLINDNESS)

You can twist, turn & spin The Bible all you can, but the HG is one of the members of the Godhead, with a special mission after JC, as a Comforter & Witness of God the Father & God the Son ONLY to those who accepted God's Truth in the Baptism of Repentance.

MATT.10:1 / LUKE.9:1..Jesus called His Apostle & gave them POWER to ACT in Jesus' name

MARK.13:34..Gave AUTHORITY to His servants

JOHN.15:16..Jesus chose & ordained His Apostles

[maximusjay]

"You can twist, turn & spin The Bible all you can"

Mormons are the undisputed masters of twist, turn, & spin. You do not get it. Christ died on the Cross. All authority at that moment changed. The Apostles were to wait. They did not wait. They acted. Trouble is they acted without authority.

[leSavaii]

MAXIELOST "Mormons are the undisputed masters of twist, turn, & spin"

Remember I spent many years as a Protestant Christian like you & none of what you're preaching today was ever available to us as followers then.

About the cross that you worship is a false & misleading motivator to the vulnerable. Jesus knew the cross was heavy & ugly, and no one would like to be involved with it..And that's exactly the reason why Jesus used it to deliver His message thru. Paul out did the cross issue.

[rmisionero]

@maximusjay So what your saying, Maxite, was that revelation does not exist, authority does not exist, except for your prophet, Max the one that secretes olive oil out of his hands and can see people through his heart.

[maximusjay]

@rmisionero

[jeannabrewer]

@leSavaii

This is totally TRUE! Your comments are backed by God's word exactly. Thanks for sharing, God bless

[brewskate13]

@leSavaii

This is totally TRUE! Your comments are backed by God's word exactly.  Thanks for sharing, God bless

[TheOriginalAnalogKid]

I have read the debate in these comments between "leSavaii", and "Maximusjay"...

Thank you for sharing TRUTH, leSavaii!

We do not attack others for their misunderstanding, but share truth in love. I have seen many videos on YouTube of Latter-Day-Saints sharing their faith, but not ONE presented in the way so many 'Christians" do, bombasting fellow believers in Christ who do not share their doctrine. Intelligent debate can help us to better understand our own faith! Contention is of the devil.

[maximusjay]

@TheOriginalAnalogKid

"Contention is of the devil" Why don't you quote that from the Bible silly Mormon. Try reading Matthew 23. All of it. Thanks for sticking up for the pig farmer though. The blind leading the blind is rather entertaining. Do continue...

[leSavaii]

EX-MORMON CHRISTIAN BAND?...I hope these guys are selling a lot of albums under this catchy-label (Ex-Mormon Band?)

[maximusjay]

"You still don't get it, do you?" (Lol..........................­.)

Silly Blind Mormon you do not know who your father is!

"Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? IS NOT HE THY FATHER THAT HATH BOUGHT THEE? Hath he not made thee, and established thee?"

[leSavaii]

STILL DON'T GET IT, DO YOU?...The LDS.Church is God's Truth & God's Kingdom here on earth. today. Their "source of truth"  Is from God by Revelations thru His Prophets. The scriptures are supporting facts to these Revelations.

Unlike all Christian ministries they base only their beliefs & findings upon a phrase or a word from these scriptures. FYI ConfusedOne, you're on a path to nowhere, so good luck!

[maximusjay]

EX-MORMON CHRISTIAN BAND?...I hope these guys are selling a lot of albums under this catchy-label (Ex-Mormon Band?)

WHERE DO THEY SAY THAT?

[leSavaii]

They have Mormonisms written all over the talents they now enjoy. They shouldn't be spending their times & efforts whining about the The Church that made them what they are. That has been said, enjoy what the Mormons had shared with you. God bless!

[onelovelonetruth]

LeSavaii: Don't you see that their gifts and talents, their leaving the LDS Church, their journey to Jesus Christ, their entire lives were/are orchestrated by God? Their story is about leaving a false religion and coming to Christ. They cannot help but talk about their former blindness & what God has done. To do otherwise would be to ignore what God has done. John 11:40 Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?" They give Him the glory. God bless.

[leSavaii]

ONELOVE: "They cannot help but talk about their former blindness & what God has done"

And that's exactly what I am doing. Three years ago I left the false religions. I was blind & now I've found God's Only Truth. The Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. And one year after, I brought into The Church of Jesus Christ my former Senor Pastor & his whole family & that's not bad at all. The Church is gonna be growing & no one can stop that until Jesus comes again.

[onelovelonetruth]

le Savaii: Tell us more of your story. I once left Protestantism (but I did not really know Christ) and joined the LDS Church thinking it would fill the hole in me meant for Christ. After years of active LDS service God opened my eyes and I have left the falsehoods of the LDS and have come to Christ. This time the surrender is complete and real. We DO appreciate what our many Mormon friends contributed to our lives but the real Christ the apostles talked with is not found in the Mormon Church.

[leSavaii]

ONELOVE: "I have left the falsehoods of the LDS and have come to Christ"

There is one Christ with thousands interpretations by His so called Christian followers, the main reason why there are millions of them heading nowhere They claimed theyve found Jesus but DO YOU THINK JESUS HAVE FOUND THEM? Nowhere in the Bible where Jesus told anyone to pray &worship Him but His Father. The LDSChurch worships God the Father thru Jesus' Name. Everything they do is to God the Father thru Jesus' Only Name

[maximusjay]

"There is one Christ with thousands interpretations"

Yea and My God can beat up your God so what is your point. There are thousands of "interpretations" of Mormon Scriptures and over 20 splinter groups in Mormonism in the past 100 years so what is your point again?

As to Worship of Christ I lead you to the following:

Matthew 2:2, Matthew 2:11, Matthew 14:33, Matthew 28:9, Matthew 28:17, John 9:38, Hebrews 1:6.

[leSavaii]

NONE OF THE SCRIPTURES YOU'VE PROVIDED...where Jesus told anyone to pray & worship Him, but to worship & pray the ONLY ONE GOD that He worships & prays, even His Father who dwells in heaven. (Is that simple enough to understand?)

Take MATT.14:33 as an example: Did Jesus ask these men to worship Him?(NO) They themselves felt obligated to worship Him. Everything we do in The Church are directed to God the Father THRU One Name & One Name Only: IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST...Prove me wrong dude...

[maximusjay]

"Prove me wrong dude'

Just what did I say that said anything about that we should worship Christ? I repeat: "As to Worship of Christ I lead you to the following" This way you will be able to work within your level of understanding. Obviously you can lead a Mormon to water but you can't make him Think! You are corrupted into "reading between the lines" and ignoring that which is in front of your face- TRUTH!

[maximusjay]

Gal:

But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

Prove that we are not to worship Christ Silly One!

[maximusjay]

"And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat WORSHIPED HIM, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."

Tell me this Silly One. Who was it that Worshiped him in the boat? Allow the scales to fall from your eyes!

[leSavaii]

You still don't get it, do you? Jesus never told them to worship Him , did He?(NO) But it was the people & followers, on their own, with their own free-will did worship Him.

FYI, there is nowhere in the Bible that Jesus told anyone to do such, but He taught them to follow the doctrines & worship "...He (His Father) that sent Him"(JOHN.7:16)

Jesus is also known as the WORD...He speaks for His Father & thru His Words & command, the whole Plan by His Father was created.

[leSavaii]

WHAT'S IN THE CROSS?...I notice that you're are still a Cross-Worshiper?

Why not look at His sufferings in the Garden of Gethsemane & The Morning of His Resurrection?... When all shall declare NOT a dead BUT a Risen & a Living Jesus Christ. Although He never told me to worship Him, but out of my own, I decided to "...always remember Him...keep His commandments, and...always have His spirit to be with..." me & thru Him I can gain access to His Father "...who art in heaven" Go figure!

[wignowski]

Omiolo, freedombolt, other LDS people, is this another name under heaven that we are to believe in to be saved? Do you stand by your dead prophet's declaration? I sincerely hope not, because if you are relying on Smith to save you, you are in trouble. Jesus is the only Way, and there is no other way to God except through Him and only Him. God bless.

[wignowski]

"...They may say that they acknowledge Him until doomsday, and he will never own them, nor bestow the Holy Spirit upon them, and they will never have visions of eternity opened to them, unless they acknowledge that Joseph Smith is sent of God. Such people I call unbelievers..."

[wignowski]

"I will now give my scripture - "Whosoever confesseth that Joseph Smith was sent of God to reveal the holy Gospel to the children of men...and building up the kingdom of God on the earth, that spirit is of God; and every spirit that does not confess that God has sent Joseph Smith, and revealed the everlasting Gospel to and through him, is of Antichrist..."

[wignowski]

Omiolo, if you can condemn others by quoting a dead prophet and hold others to it, then the same standard must apply to you and I can quote Brigham Young and hold Mormons to it. If it's true that the current Mormon prophet trumps all dead ones and what they say, then Benson's talk in the 80's is overruled as well as Brigham Young's. Here it is: JoD Vol. 8 (pg. 176-7)

[JewishDOOD]

hey, quick question - are you Pentecostal? (its a segment of christianity/mormonism)

I only ask because this is JUST like my friend's church services and he's Pentecostal.

Nice voice btw :)

[maximusjay]

Adam's Road Band Members are non-denominational Biblical Christians. You are watching one of their concerts not a Church service. God Bless

[CaptainByington]
