Aaron Shafovaloff on Heart for the Lost

[ryecroft57]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching Andy and Aaron. Your intelligence, kind words and smiling faces show you do abound with love for the LDS and the lost. But I was puzzled by your heaping praise upon pop apologist James White, whose arrogance and stridency is 180 degrees from the sincere compassion you two men radiate. You couple knowledge with caring to win people to Christ; White carries dogmatism like a club to bludgeon his opponents. I pray the Lord continues to bless you two men and your work.

Aaron have you been on Heart of the Matter yet?

[BlackJacx1]

5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

Dead works being those that were not principles of the doctrine of Christ with faith. Then Baptism, the laying on of hands, and then resurrection to eternal judgement. If not Paul explains, we crucify Christ again, and are as guilty as those who did it without excuse

[BlackJacx1]

Heb. 6: 1-6

1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3 and this will we do, if God permit. 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

Watch

God's Words Never Cease

[BlackJacx1]

16:10

Judge for yourself. Your teaching method and tricks... tips simply waste time. They are not correct, and your simply misleading people to aggrandize your own vanity. Trying to make people feel there is no point in study, simply praise... Eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we die. Open your eyes and ears! You are the false teacher! May God prick your heart and help and keep you.

True Prophets of the Lord Jesus Christ are on the earth. Watch and Listen at LDS {org}

18:13

Genesis 1 : 26-27

26)And God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion... upon the earth 27)So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

We are Created in his image...

[BlackJacx1]

16:56

John 1: 14

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

The ONLY BEGOTTEN of the FATHER.

Begotten literally means sired or fathered. see also Beget- procreate; generate (of the Male parent).

Again, seems pretty clear... not mythical or fictional.

[BlackJacx1]

13:44

Hebrews 4: 14-15

14)Seeing that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15) For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Jesus was a High Priest! IT SAYS IT! IN THE NEW TESTAMENT!!!!!!! Do you really read any of this, or just take peoples word on it?!?!

[BlackJacx1]

12:50

Hebrews 5: 4-6

4) And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God as was Aaron. 5)So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. 6) As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec

Aaron was called by God Through Moses to serve in the Aaronic Priesthood. And Jesus received it when he was baptized by John the Baptist (A prophet).

[BlackJacx1]

John 10: 34-36

34)Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35)If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 36) Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

6:10 This would be the testimony of Christ. Why would you argue with Jesus?!?!?! He is pleading with the Pharisees to believe on Him, and take their birthright through Him! GODS!

Mormonism sounds a lot like gnosticism.

[AcademicTheologian]

Not really. Gnosticism teaches the physical world is the illusion where as the spiritual world is the only real reality. Christian Science fits more into this category although they are not true gnostic in the same sense of the religious structure. Gnosticism is its own separate religion that often uses similar characters of the religions around them teaching their principals. A good place to start studying gnosticism is to look into Egyptian religions.

[nathanielmacrae]

I was thinking more along the lines where salvation (certainly in Valentianism) is the acquisition of special-secret-knowledge.

[AcademicTheologian]

Aahhh, the secret teachings of Jesus such as where you have to turn into a man to obtain salvation and other weird things under those lines.

[stevergrantspass]

Excellent Job Aaron!  You got a Good clear communicative speaking style.

[uSoBayArea]

Aaron great vid especially at the 20 minute mark.

Just watched the godneversinned, and wow, that was sad knowing that most LDS have no real stance on that issue and that they are happy to know that being Godlike is attainable.

[java501]

Is the name of the show a deliberate rip off of the heart of the Matter show?

[Tavlo]

I don't think so java501. "Heart for the lost" is a common Christian saying. I believe Paul wrote it in Romans, but I'm not sure of the reference off the top of my head.

Hope that answers your question. :-)

Great tips Aaron. Can't wait to see you at Manti!
