Shawn McCraney becomes a mormon again - LDS Convert

[ashtray113]

AWESOME.

"I must accept that Jesus is not enough for me"

[clarencefields2007]

lol

[dreamextreme7]

that actually scared the life out of me. ha ha.

[moparmonster1965]

He couldn't keep a straight face and neither could I. Excellent spoof.

[pj650zmyn]

cool!

[matthewakisan]

Shawn's got a great insightful show.

[smileywiley33]

No Sean...don't let them get hold of you again!! Pray that Mormon spell off of ya!! : D

[ockokain]

Is this show still on? if so where can i watch or listen to it!

[testskriftene]

See my channel... You can watch on TV or live on internet... HOTM (dot) TV

[jhutchins11]

haha, good one!

[Bree5]

lol...ya scared me there for a minute! What is scary about this is that it is so true! It would solve everything if we all went back! I know that would truly make oldest daughter happy for sure...but, once your eyes have seen the light and the truth to the errors of this religion, it would only be a lie to go back. Thanks for the giggle!

[mrskcinvegas]

That was funny. Gotta share that.

[thecatman4ever]

I almost thought this guy was serious.

[HokedOnDEW]

Don't EVER do that again. OMG i almost cried.

[l0ract]

I am LDS. I got this as a joke!!! I personally think it's funny! I love the exaggerations. It's great!

I am more spiritual than going to church though. I know there are imperfections as with all churches. This is why I have my own beliefs.

[CaptCaboose1]

That is so true.. for what he would have to do- which contain false beliefs and stray you from Jesus. I'm glad he is joking!

[questioningall]

you are a very funny guy!

[bmjesus08]

this scard me; almost gave me a heart attact & then i looked at the date, ha ha.

did u grow up as a mormon?

[Shiorman]

I think it is quite obvious that you have no intention to want to be mormon again. you are only TRYING to paint yourself as a "hero" who is going to "sacrifice" everything so that people can think of you as such. Again I say, You still hate us mormons, Shawn McCraney. you still want to taer down truth, as Satan would.

[testskriftene]

Did you watch the whole thing? It was a april-fools-joke... made so that people may have a laugh.... Is it not ok to "loosen up" right in the middle of Christian-vs-mormon debate?

[DancingMutant007]

Haha, wow!

[zinkcoo]

HAHAHA! great sense of humour.

[miks8]

My heart almost stopped beating as I was watching this!!!! Thats a heavy joke!

[testskriftene]

Yeah, its cool, and shocking at first... but many people dont UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS A JOKE.... THEY TAKE IT SO PERSONALLY... Really shocking how people dont have a sense of humor...

[ntguy73]

how can you expect to be taken seriously. your no different than any other anti mormon hater. even the bible says to teach in wisdom not in wit. wit / sharp tongue is of satan. you cant expect to behave like this and convert mormons to your cause with such behavior. you try to humiliate the church on our processes, it's certainly foul to do so. i'll end this some scripture for you.

2 Timothy 2:16; James 1:26; Colossians 4:6; 1 Cor 15:33; Matt 7:16; 1 Cor 8: 8-13; Matt 5:16; Ephesians 5:4

[testskriftene]

evil to make people laugh? come on.... It was an april fools JOKE... it was not serious... Did the LDS church teach you not to make anyone laugh? Of course not dude...

[leSavaii]

That sounds so very familiar. And thats what this is all about, isn't it? A show production. Do it for the praises of men with the Bible that you protestant christians worship. The Bible talks about people in sheeps' clothings that will try to decieve many of Christ's own.

[testskriftene]

This is a joke.. is it illegal to make people laugh? Not manworship... A joke... Come on... But it is so true also...

Can you tell me what was mocking about this?

You should think about a well-known MORMON hymn called "PRAISE TO THE MAN"... manworship?

[leSavaii]

Do you think that no one noticed that? Of course its a joke, you're a joke & even your videos are jokes. Nobody is laughing.

PRAISE TO THE MAN WHO COMMUNE WITH JEHOVAH. We worship God Almighty thru His Beloved Son Jesus Christ

[jleliason15]

That was not very christlike. He can have his beliefs but to make a mockery of anothers is best left to the foolish.

[testskriftene]

He does not mock any beliefs here... he just fools people in thinking he will become mormon...

[testskriftene]

Watch past videos on mormonism on my channel!

Test the truth!

God bless people!

[SelaiLesu]

That was really low. As a Mormon of COLOR.. I used to respect what you did because you brought valid arguments.  Only a clown would do that and you sir, are a clown.

[testskriftene]

"SelaiLesu"

"That was really low. As a Mormon of COLOR.. I used to respect what you did because you brought valid arguments. Only a clown would do that and you sir, are a clown."

Calling other people clown is not low?

It was meant as a joke - 1 of april.... watch the video response.

God bless

[dimtry19]

...GOD bless you, shawn...i love all your videos...May GOD bless yopu and all those who share in your minisrtry...

[OGraphics]

Hearken 2 da spirit or regret u'll have

[testskriftene]

Have you been born again trough faith in Jesus?

If you die tonight, would you live with God?

[scottiemacreggae]

Shawn-

What is true for you?

[testskriftene]

I´m not Shawn... But I guess the answer is the same. The answer is Jesus.

What is true for you?

Have you been born again trough faith in Jesus?

If you die tonight, would you live with God?

[testskriftene]

watch the video response

[tallkoolone]

Shawn-

You come across as an "all about me" fellow. I can see how you ego has the best of you right now.

Remember one day you will have to answer every idle word, phrase and thought..you promugated here.

Good luck,

David

[FAITHandLOGIC]

I get this on podcast and listen to it every week. Love this show!

[beachlady78]

First I thought "you've got to be kidding me???" And then I remember April fools Day!

You almost had me...

As an ex temple going member... Now christian. THANKS FOR the JOKE! God Bless

[testskriftene]

Subscribe:-)

God bless!

[dion1tj]

Is this some kind of joke?

[heberjm]

Yep its a joke psych!!! He has a little cable cable show in UT ragging on mormons all the time

[dion1tj]

I find all religions silly. But I find those that are religious more silly when they rag other religions as if theirs is more true.

[MrNirom]

So without someone or something to remove the "unclean" status.. we can never enter the Kingdom of God.

So now there is Jesus Christ. He is the Son of God.. born of a virgin.. the only begotten of the Father. He comes to dwell in the form of man.. to be in the world but not of it. He commits no sin.. and is therefore "clean". He is the only man that can say this. His mother was human, and his Father was God, he was given the power to lay down his life.. and take it up again.

3- :-)

[MrNirom]

When Christ agreed to the sacrifice he would be making.. he was taking upon him the sins of the world (the punishment of each sin that had been or will be committed). The Justice System required that for every law broken.. a punishment was to be served. So Christ agreed that he would receive the punishment. And he would receive this punishment for everyone.

So what does he require of us for him doing this?

4- :-)

[MrNirom]

1. To believe on him. 2. To Repent, be baptized of water and fire. 3. To obey all his commandments. That is it. If we do this.. he will take the punishment for the sins we committed. In the Garden of Getheseme is where he suffered this punishment. Now don't get excited.. we will talk about the cross in a minute. But in the Garden he prayed to Father to have this cup be removed from him..

Lets read in Luke 22:42-44

5- :-)

[MrNirom]

42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. 43 And there appeared and angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. 44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: band his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

So we see that the process of the Atonement began in the Garden. So what of the Cross?

6- :-)

[MrNirom]

Well you remember the I said earlier that the serving of the punishment fulfills the Justice System.. but does not make a person "clean" in the sight of God. Christ fulfilled the punishment part... but what of the "unclean" part? This is what "by the Grace of God" means. When Christ.. who was "clean" was put to death on the cross, the spilling of his blood (clean blood) is what was needed to make the status of "unclean" on our record be made clean.

7- :-)

[MrNirom]

And to be clean is making the "unclean" be erased from the book of life as if it did not happen and the Lord remembers it no more. To fulfill all righteousness, Christ had to lay down his life.. to allow himself to be sacrificed.. when he had the power to stop it.. he allowed it.. and in doing so.. on the 3rd day... he took his life back. The sacrifice on the cross gave all of us the status of "clean". And being clean.. we can enter into the kingdom of God.

8- :-)

[MrNirom]

This is the saving grace. This we have to do nothing for. It is given to us. But the punishment we have to serve is conditional. For us to use the "Punishment already served" card.. we must do something for that. It is by works. Again.. we must believe in Christ (being saved is to have a change of heart), Repent, be baptized with water and fire, and must obey all the commandments, and endure to the end.

9- :-)

[MrNirom]

Well what happens if we don't repent? If you don't repent.. then you will take the punishment of your sins upon yourself. Yes.. you will still be considered "clean" but you will be required to serve the punishment yourself.

Last- :-)

[testskriftene]

Yes - People on this earth is either unclean (will go to hell) or clean (cleaned by Jesus and will live with God when they die)

[MrNirom]

Tests:  But are we not all saved by Grace?

:-)

[MrNirom]

Isaiah 29:13-14 13 ¶ Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: 14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.

[MrNirom]

You can scream "Praise the Lord" all day long. That will not bring you salvation. Narrow is the gate.. and straight is the path to eternal life. If ye love me.. ye will obey my commandments.

Will you do whatsoever the Lord your God asks?

It is God who chooses who his prophets will be.

Man has no influence in that choice.

God does not request nor require man's approval..

But he does insist on obedience to the words his chosen messenger speaks.

Who has your ear?

[testskriftene]

Have you been born again trough faith in Jesus? If you die tonight - would you live with God?

[MrNirom]

Yes.. I would live with God.. and with Jesus Christ. I understand the atonement and what it meant. It is many others that don't fully understand it.. and that is what misleads them into a false security. Four things:

1: There is the law.

2: The breaking of the law (sin) has a punishment

3: God lives in his kingdom

4: No unclean thing can enter the Kingdom of God.

Can we agree on these 4 points?

Lets say there was no Jesus to atoned for our sins. What would happen?

1- :-)

[MrNirom]

1. You have sinned or broke the law.

2. You must be punished. There is a punishment for every law broken.

3. Because you sinned.. you are now "unclean"

4. You are now punished.. you served your time and the punishment you served satisfies the Justice System.. and you are released.

5. You are still "unclean" and therefore can not enter into the kingdom of God.

6. Punishment itself does not remove the "unclean" status from our "record" (Book of Life).

Does this make sense?

2- :-)

[keltontrey]

For some reason you feel like it's all about the Bible that some how the Bible vindicates every last position the Lord has ever taken and every word he has ever said, very short sighted. Apparently accepting Christ in your life and striving to be perfect is not high in your list of priorities, I think Christ is worth it, don't you? The last thing I want to do is disappoint him by committing more sin. Yes, there is nothing I can do to save my self, but I can show the Lord I love him by keeping..

[clokwurkorenge]

It just wasn't that clever. Jesus Christ would not have acted the way this man did in the video. He just comes off as bitter, and witless.

[pinsetter1991]

watch the parody people!!!

v=uCMtyZWcUuo&feature=related

its sooo hilarious!

[testskriftene]

old one man... are you mormon?

[artlauren]

Once you've tasted the love of Jesus Christ... there is no going back. Amen brother!

[omiolo]

you have to see the parody on this video.

the funniest thing alive.

v=uCMtyZWcUuo&feature=related

[12345fraser]

Oh by the way Shaun forgot to mention that you need faith in the Lord Jesus Christ to be baptised and to follow his example and live a christ like life and to promise to take his name upon you that you may always have he Holy spirit to be with you or it counts for nothing. Apart from that small thing pretty spot on!

[rjeffberg]

I'll never understand mocking and tearing down other people's faith under the guise of 'bringing truth'; as if the truth you bring is more worthy. Ironic? How can you kick against people who only try to do good works. You, no matter how you interpret writings, will never be more correct than they because you are not a judge. There is one judge. And how will he look upon you? Have you shown perfect love by mocking their faith or did you mock God by blindly ripping down your fellow men.

[testskriftene]

This was a practical joke - its not the meaning to offend anyone - just a joke (aprilfools)

[Snotra]

Church....??

[Snotra]

How old is your churh?

[Snotra]

Faith alone?

[testskriftene]

yup

[Snotra]

I feel so bad for Mormons. They get attacked from all angles of the christian community. I think we should lay off them and take a look at bigger fish like protestants. Baptists,fundies,born agains and all of the other 35.000 protestant faiths...what a mess Luther left behind. All of them cant be right!! Aristotle's law of non-contradiction applies here. there for there is only one rational choice ...the first church.

[testskriftene]

Most christians agree on the essentials. The church is built up by believers - not a church with buildings. Sorry

[Mwithoutpolygamy]

For the sake son Jesus the christ have mercy now on us for five us as we forgive those who trasspass against us and lead not into temptation but deliver us from evil, thyness the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever amen.

[Mwithoutpolygamy]

God help me build you church father help me with my gathering there as well and forgive me of my cussing my profanity and the ones i love who i have hurt if any i ask for forgivness father of anything i have done and left undone for i have not loved my neighbors as i love they self.

[Mwithoutpolygamy]

I know That IS the only truth i need i know that made me and created me to walk in his ways i know the devil who is in the lds church wants to see me fail but you only have me stronger in what i need to do and that is serve God in church praise God amen.

[Mwithoutpolygamy]

Heart Of The Matter I enjoy your show. I do not fear lds it is time now to build God's Church get a gathering of my own and worship the lord thy God. Lds i challenge you try to stop me building my church try to stop me preaching there try to stop me in the music ministry where God has called me. Try to stop God who is my father in heaven.

I know That God is real.

[Mwithoutpolygamy]

I love this episode lol very good job.

[skyaglow]

My life is completly and whole heartly centered on Christ. I fear not what man can do or say, but I place my full trust IN the Lord Jesus Christ. forever and always He is my Savior

He is what makes life worth living

He is who puts the love in my heart even in the mists of trouble & wicked world.

He is my rock He is my strength

He is what keeps me going.

Who can boost too much of the Lord,

He is EVERYTHING !!

I love you pray for you that you will embrace His fullness.

[testskriftene]

Great - then you may be a different mormon.. I cant judge you - How much of the meetings that you go to is centered on Jesus? And how much is centered on going to LDS church meetings (and other events), tithing, laws and ordinances, reaching a higher heaven by doing even more of what the church tells you?

I can only stand covered in the blood of Jesus, I hope you do that to - and dont come with the work you have done for the LDS org

[skyaglow]

I know the Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints is true.

I was anti mormon and raised in an inactive family. I am now shunned for accepting it as truth in my life.

But I can not deny what I know for anyone.

Just like Joseph Smith could not deny He saw God the Father and Jesus Christ.

I love you and I continue to pray for you and your loved ones.

peace and joy to you and to all

sky

[testskriftene]

Great - I love mormons too... That is why I (and most others) do this... We dont want to see mormons go to hell... Thats why we witness to them and show them the biblical Jesus and how man can be saved... I know the LDS church is not true - and I want you to turn over your life to Jesus - not to a church lead by a man.. Jesus is our only prophet.. read hebrews 1:1-2. If I had ill will against mormons - I would certainly not done this... God bless you

[Huge291]

Our only prophet? So, essentially you do not believe in the Bible at all? Thanks for the blessing; is that kind of like Matthew 7:22; did you see how Jesus will respond to you? Sad!

[testskriftene]

I believe the Bible to be Gods Holy word, and it is perfect... The verse you are talking about is actually way better to give mormons and mormon leaders... if you read it in context, you will see why. Mormons often use "by their fruits you shall know them" as a sign that they are the true church... hmm now read the verse in context.... Episode on that coming soon.

Prophet in OT sense over with. We have many prophets now(gift of prophecy, talk word of comfort to believers etc...)

God bless you

[skyaglow]

My comment are sincere.

His heart knows the truth, and one day he will be back

no april fools.

The key to life is love and the key to love is humility and the key to humility is to accept all in a positive light.

I remember Pres. Hinckley said to Mike Wallace during an interview; it was concerninmg 911...and I love what Pres Hinckley said,

He said I have no malice towards any man.

How beautiful is that

Now imagine if we could all be like that?

Do you have ill will, or love?

[skyaglow]

wow ..

that brings me tears of JOY you are doing the right thing....

the spirit is guiding you back to truth !

you have been in my prayers!

I am so happy for you!!!!!

[testskriftene]

you did watch the whole thing right? are you just trying to fool us?

[drmacavinta]

I saw the entire video. Shawn played a good one on April Fool's Day. As a matter of fact, I found it entertaining - what a sense of humor he has. Nonetheless, I must say, he is a good man. He reminds of Korrihor in the Book of Mormon. His family just needs to be loving; as long as he is not doing any willful evil things things physically. What he is doing is testing the true faith of LDS in Utah and Idaho. He is waking them up, to awake from the slumber of not having a testimony.

[Estaban333]

It's nice to see that all the mormons can comment on your videos. They don't let me comment on theirs! Once you point out that they can't pray to Jesus - you're history.

[zionschurch]

Aint no heart and not much matter upstairs either. This is guy is simply Bad News for Modern Man.

[sheisbuoyant]

o wow you had me for a second there haha

[ScottsdaleStylee]

Shawn -- I think this was the first time you (almost) spoke the truth. J/k budy, I'm sure some people found this to be funny and to each their own, I guess.

[magicsmack]

Shawn needs to go back to McDonalds where he can eat all of the inventory.  Props to you Shawn for fooling only you the UTARDS and for looking like a jack ass to everyone else.

P.S. Nonew3, landrover1515, newbirth35, and TESTSKIDMARKS are the TARD followers of Shawn.

TESTSKIDMARKS are you Shawns Lover? You post all of shawns videos or are you shawn?

[testskriftene]

Are you mormon? Landrover1515 is a mormon... I live in Norway... I guess you where really disappointed when you got fooled :-)

[nonew3]

I just about died laughing while watching this. This has gotta be the BEST video EVER! LMAO

[newbirth35]

You had me going there a moment...LOL!

[landrover1515]

Oh, that Shawn McCraney! He's such a card! Oh my--oh my! He really had me. I was so happy for him thinking he was going back to the LDS church! And then, oh my gosh (mormon-speak), he fooled me. He's just joking. No way! Oh-my-gosh! No-way! It was all an april fools joke. Shawn's sense of humor is just... Oh my gosh! He's so funny! I mean... This was SOOOOO clever! Ha! Good one! No-way! I'm just blown away! Keep up the funny videos (but keep them spiritual too)!!! Oh, so funny!

[magicsmack]

Are you shawn?

[testskriftene]

No. I´m Andreas from Norway.. Are you LDS?

[magicsmack]

NO. You are shawn from the OC. Are you Shawn?

[magicsmack]

Oh my gosh... I thought he was going to say that he wasn't going to be eating cheeseburgers anymore. I was so relieved that he revealed that "the fart of the matter" was still going to be in low budget production. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't watch his fat face, his gap tooth, and his frosted hair on my TV in Utah! Shawn McFatty, thank you for surprising all of us and allowing us to make fun of your show longer.

Blessings......

[hypnotstcollector]

gosh, what had the most profound effect, was it the book of abraham ?

[mejiaheidi]

OH MY GOSH!! I just read this on 4/6 without the thought of 4/1 in my head...I SERIOUSLY WAS FREAKING OUT!! I TOTALLY FELL FOR IT. OMG you got me, but when I saw you smiling and laughing towards the mid part...I knew something was not right. Dude...don't every do that to me again. You totally scared me. AHHH...Thank God you r who u r. LOL.

~Heidi

[MistyAnn0414]

That was a great April Fools joke. He was right on target as to "what he would have to do".

[Shirl09876]

HAHA great april fool joke lol. I knew ya wouldn't really go back to it.

[aragrorn92]

is there any way i can contact this shawn?so..wadz his point..he does not believe in Mormonism, but he says u can b a born-again mormon?isnt that serving the world and God at the same time..confused..

[testskriftene]

Born again mormon - a mormon who has a personal relationship with Jesus - and dont believe the LDS false doctrine - but still is a member of the LDS church - a good method to make other members see the truth about the LDS church and lead others to a personal relationship with Jesus

[aragrorn92]

then do the born again mormons do like the rituals and rites?

cz, if they do, wad is the use of becoming a born again..

Im just expressing my opinion..let me say it this way..itz like a Buddhist becoming a "born again" but still practises ancestral worship..

i feel dat if u are born again..get out of the mormon church..there are so many more ways to make them realize the Truth..dun have to stay where u r..u get me?itz like a Born again in the RC church..itz still not theologically sound..

[testskriftene]

Born again mormons understand that the mormon scripture and teachings is false - and therefore the temple rituals. To receive a "temple recommendation" they have to support LDS church and its leaders and its teachings - so they should not be able (because of conscience/sin etc) to get a recommendation. Flip the coin and say that it would be negative to stay in the LDS after being born again - hypocritical. Individual chooses to stay member or not.Like your questions, you sound like a good guy

[aragrorn92]

haha..thtz a nice thing to say..thank u.

my dad is a pastor of a protestant chrch.he ws a drug addict, til d Lord savd him in 1978. Since thn, he has been a man of God.

im 16, im a youth leader..recntly xperienced God's love again..in a conference..my heart goes out to those deceived frm d Truth..

r u stil in d mormon church?

u c, my understanding is this..i do believe tht, if you are truly bornagain, 1 shud lve the church, so tht he can grow in a church of God properly haha.that wadz i feel.

[testskriftene]

go to bornagainmormon(dot)com.

[fletchenator1]

Come on, that was so stupid. Another example of a religon bashing fool.

[HarryTheMormonGuy]

That's right. A great example of Christlike ways? I don't think so. This ol' boy specializes in mockery. Maccie, you need a life pumpkin..anti-mormonism ain't any kind of life. How pathetic can you be. I'm Harry, but then aren't we all.

[Linkn65]

Mccreakie..."would be a fool"?
