"Your eternal reward jeopardized" is a LIE. If you have the holy spirit, NOTHING, NOTHING AT ALL can separate you from God. And if God has selected you, then NOTHING can prevent your salvation.

Benson was right, and it's still here today, only now we're in the final stages of long range takeover. Thanks to multiple generations of Traitors & Crooks in our government.
The mormon church has made it's members want things they don't need or exist by linking mass produced LDS doctrine and ideas to peoples unconscious desires. Out of this comes a new political idea of how to control the membership. By satisfying members inner selfish desires, the church has made it's people happy and thus docile. The start of the all consuming self, man-made idols of the self, which has come to dominate the church today. The church of Joseph Smith and his latter day saints.
speaking from my understanding of it (which may be imperfect) the law of consecration is basically libertarianism with people voluntarily helping each other.
similar to the speech of jfk about conspiracies and secret societies, I am so afraid what is going to happen 2 america --->new world order america is becoming the continuation of the 3.reich 1 government ideology ... god bless the american people 2 face the horrible facts .... and change for the better
True Free energy devices exist,But the Big corporations spend millions to ensure that information does not spread to the masses,Go to LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM and get the blueprints for a genuine magnet motor ,Be part of the revolution!
@kamikazee55 - One is through freedom of choice, and one is forced by the government. I would rather show charity than forced to redistribute wealth by the government. I've never seen God force the law of consecration on people. People choose to live it.
@kamikazee55 Your point has a critical flaw. The government has ALREADY enslaved you in it's socialist scheme...through burdensome taxes. The Mormon church NEVER will. If members of the Mormon church don't like the program put forth by they church, they simply leave it. Don't miss the point of this outstanding video. You're on the wrong track.
@kamikazee55 under the LAW OF CONSECRATION, one communes all of their increase of their own free will in a capitalist free market. One gives all that he has, and takes back what he needs for him and his family to do well. charity. Under COMMUNISM, you are forced to give all and the government tells you what you can have back. if you don't, you'll be found in the gutter with blood spilling out of the hole in your head. you cannot escape. socialists usually hate god.
@hadibus I agree with what you said. However, it is clear that mormons are worse than communists. Or at least they accept the same morality. Collectivism.
"It is better that one man should perish than that a nation should dwindle and perish in unbelief." God justified taking Laban's life by force for the sake of a greater number. He has also justified slavery.
You people accept a morality that has no respect for individual rights.
@jlescoe1 Maybe you should tell me how I'm wrong you fucking moron. I even gave quotes from your holy book to explain why I am right, and all you can do is call me a moron?
@kamikazee55 You’re not a moron you’re just misinformed. You’re doing what many others do in religion, that is, taking one scripture completely out of contexts. Mormons are taught to befriend the Constitution which totally supports individual rights. Communism is by force. The collectivism that Jesus and his disciples taught and lived in the New Testament was entirely voluntary. There is a big difference between the two.
@Finianisback Well then forget about communism. Collectivism is still evil. You don't think Laban was killed by force? He was drunk passed out on the ground and God still wanted him dead. The same morality is accepted. That individuals can only morally exist if they voluntarily give up their lives to the group.
And I am not basing this off one scripture. I am basing it off a wide array of mormon beliefs and practices. What about slavery...Was that voluntary?
@kamikazee55 Yes I think Laban was killed by force. I think Christ used force to chase the money changers out of the Temple. Laban tried to kill Nephi twice and stole his property. I’ve heard the term Sailor’s rights protection of person and property used before. I’m told the principle is very American.
“Individuals can only morally exist if they voluntarily give up their lives to the group.” Where on earth does that come from? That’s what I mean about taking something out of context.
That is a huge generalization that could apply to any religion. It’s taking the argument beyond the logical extreme and concluding with something that is not true. I am not saying you have to be lds at all. No one does.
@kamikazee55 The 11th article of faith is clear about them freedom of religion. That would include the right not to be a Mormon. Mormons opposed slavery. That was one of the reasons they were persecuted. The whole drive to support the Constitution venomously opposes slavery and endorses liberty which includes the right to be atheist like Thomas Paine. Those who love liberty hate slavery.
@Finianisback Well God doesn't hate slavery. He outright permitted it in the old testament. He said that it was immoral for a slave to leave their master. So don't B.S. me.
I am not convinced I could be LDS. It defends the collective over the individual. It morally justifies collectivism even through the use of force. Slavery, etc. And I don't support collectivism because I exist for my own sake, not as a tool to be sacrificed.
@kamikazee55 Slavery was allowed in the Old Testament but the Book of Mormon contains many accounts of how one group tried to take over the other group and turn them into slaves. Captain Moroni fought to defend his liberty continually. Thus Mormons are taught to oppose slavery not turn people into slaves.
@Finianisback So because God only allowed slavery in the Old Testament and not in the Book of Mormon, that makes it okay???
God's principles change? Morality changes? What you are saying would prove that God is imperfect and immoral. Mormons also believe in the Old Testament. My seminary teacher even talked about it being immoral for a slave to leave their master. Your contradictions are disgusting.
@kamikazee55 You’re the one that said slavery was OK, I certainly did not. I’m from Canada. I’m from the North not the South. Personally I think entertaining a conversation with a group of people who fought a war for the right to keep slaves is a complete waste of time. God does not change neither does his laws. It is man that consistently falls short of God’s aspirations wherein God has changed the law to help raise him to a higher plane.
@kamikazee55 I.E. when Moses broke the first set of Tablets when he came down from the mountain seeing everyone dancing naked around a golden calf. I eat pork. That does not mean God is imperfect.
Your seminary teacher? Are you for or against LDS teachings? Seminary teachers are unpaid volunteers. They too are allowed to have their opinions.
@Finianisback I never said slavery was OK. God did. He said it was immoral for a slave to leave their master. That is straight out of LDS seminary class. My parents put me through it, but I do not accept its teachings. And yes they are paid(irrelevant).
@kamikazee55 All the seminary teachers I know are not paid unless they are high up and employed in Church Education. Here’s the deal. I do not support slavery. My position is that whoever showed you that scripture is taking that scripture out of context. Israel were slaves in Egypt and Moses led them out of slavery through the Red sea on dry ground. In that context God sanctioned them leaving the bonds of slavery.
@Finianisback Haha. There was also slavery in the new testament. As in Peter met a runaway slave and told him to go back. And if God thinks that we must follow the law, then he is immoral. There is no country on earth with laws that would be what God wanted. By supporting their laws, he is permitting immorality.
@Finianisback Individualism. I have a right to exist for my own sake. Even mormons believe that individuals existed before God gave them a spirit body. Therefore god does not own me and I have a right to live for my own sake. I don't live for my neighbor or God, and I wont be sacrificed for them.
God has not defended the enslaved. God is immoral. He looks only at the 'greater good' of actions. As in he had Laban killed for the sake of a greater number.
@kamikazee55 You believe God is immoral? Do you believe Satan is good? Are you saying Mormons believe you don’t have the right to live your life for your own sake? Martin Luther King taught about service. He said we are all interdependent and should serve the poor. Does that mean Dr. King supported slavery?
@Finianisback Google "LDS welfare square" and you'll see what the LDS church thinks about helping the poor. Helping the poor is not the same as socialism or slavery for that matter.
@justafrinian I’m familiar with the church’s welfare program. I’d be happier if they implemented it since members don’t work for support. However, I never said helping the poor is the same as socialism. I was referring to the law of consecration Jesus and his Disciples lived when he was on the earth.
The law of consecration was entered into willingly... not forced upon them. That is the one difference between what Jesus and his 12 lived and what socialism is. If you are so willing to live it... be my guess and give all you have the to government and get on welfare.
@Sk8er408 "The law of consecration was entered into willingly... not forced upon them. That is the one difference between what Jesus and his 12 lived and what socialism is." That’s what I said. Somebody isn’t listening.
@Sk8er408 Someone was slamming lds beliefs by claiming mormonism is collectivism and I simply said Christ and his Apostles lived the law of consecration when he was on the earth. Consecration is different that Communism as it is voluntary.
@kamikazee55 Mormons also believe in obeying the law. Typically slaves rising up against owners would be unlawful. That does not mean the Book of Mormon supports slavery because it clearly doesn’t.
@kamikazee55 Mormons also believe in obeying the law. Typically slaves rising up against owners would be unlawful. That does not mean the Book of Mormon supports slavery because it clearly doesn’t.
@Finianisback Christ never taught or lived "collectivism" otherwise our salvation and judgment would be as a collective and neither are or will be. Philippians 2:12 "....work out your own salvation with fear and trembling."
@RothdeMan Salvation is obviously not collective. We as individuals must make choices and are responsible for the choices we make. However, when Christ was on the earth, he and his apostles lived a form of collectivism Mormons refer to as consecration. Acts 2:44-45 It is VERY different than Communism.
@Finianisback All of their own free will. i.e. as you said "VERY different".Night and Day. Acts 4:32-35 can be termed "Redistribution of Wealth". However, what they did and what it means to those championing it today like the US President are "Very different".
It is how the likes of Jim Wallis can manipulate people and tell a bold faced lie that the Gospel was all about Redistribution of Wealth(as he and others like to term its meaning today).
This shouldn't be taken as a warning about the Obama administration. This should be taken as a warning about the DIRECTION our country has been heading for the past 100 years! This is an excellent speech. Very thought provoking.
Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard are the face of socialist destroyers of freedom and the Labour socialist party now which has almost succeded in destroying families and freedoms in the nation of Australia.
DO NOt Listen t'o CHINESE DEVIL CHILD KEVIN RUDD in the UNITED NATIONS
ETB (or, "E.T.", for short) said, at 0.30, into the vid, something about "if ONLY you will follow the prophet". Yeah, right! It's the old "IF ONLY..." nonsense of that John Bircher. Benson thought there was a Communist behind every bush, too! In my town, back in the 1950s, there hung a big pic of him in the Soil Conservation Office ('cause E.T. was Sec. of the Dept of Agriculture, at that time). And, we did not get fluoridated water, in my town, because of him. Whack-O
The secret combination also wants you vaccinated. Go to my channel & see a recent, extremely hard hitting interview on the absolute fraud & danger of vaccines -- & about a simple tool to viralize the truth about vaccines. The more people that know the truth, the harder it will be to force these vaccines on those of us that would rather put our trust in God, eating right, our own immune systems, natural remedies, faith & prayer -- rather than on Big Pharma & their veritable witches brews.
@burtontool I argue all systems of economics. Capitalism has the best system out there. A simple comparison between US and USSR would show that: Both were enormous countries, with large militaries, large economies, and resources. Because of capitalism's effectiveness, the US outspent/produced USSR. USSR couldn't keep up and collapsed.
Another example is China. Under socialistic policies, China failed and millions died. As China pushed capitalism, it has now become an economic superpower.
@burtontool If I don't judge "countries' political ideologies based on how well their country performs with them in place," how else can one argue their value? That's like saying you can't critique your effective business plan that's in place because outside sources may have an effect on them. That's absurd. That's the perfect place to judge them...while they are working and in place! All you'd be arguing is theory and not the theory in practice.
@burtontool So you're saying that if I believe capitalism is the better of the economic systems that I shouldn't study and criticize (whether good or bad) the others? A Mormon only thinking of his/her own religion only makes them close-minded and uneducated.
@burtontool Actually if you look at how the social communities were handled, it was a form of socialism built to transition into communism. The goal was communism, but at the time it was socialism. At the same time Mao initiated the Socialist Education Campaign. Mao's Three Red Flags (goals) included the "general line" of the party: Build socialism.
It was because of Mao's socialistic policies that caused 20-30 million people to die.
our capitalist system hasn't failed yet, but if it does it would have been orchestrated to do so. firstly, by sending all industry else where, then opening our borders and allowing many jobs that are left go to illegals. then bailing out failed banks and businesses, ( which is not a capitalist idea) then implementing social programs that cannot be paid for, it seems obvious that someone is trying to prove that capitalism can fail.
you are touting, what a government had achieved, but there is no mention of what happened to the people. they suffered greatly , i know a few who were there and were only lucky enough to get out, when the socialists system failed.
@burtontool Yes, that's what I said. Read what I previously wrote. I spent 5 months researching and reading about it. You should too. 1958. Great Leap Forward. Chairman Mao's vision of building utopia. Peasants "owned" their the factories in their communes but they were under party and state control with certain goals/objectives.
Ever notice that Russia FAILED despite claims that it would outlast the US, that it was the best system ever? Did you ever take history?
Socialism DOES lead to a loss of freedom! Have you lived in/visited/spoken with the people that live in these countries that have the 'highest living standards" ? Their freedoms ARE taken away. They may have "the highest living standards" but it is because they are controlled! THAT is not freedom. I.e. they may "own" land but they have to let anybody and everyone trespass and even camp on their land if someone so desires. THAT, is NOT freedom.
@burtontool No proof? Really? You should read about China from 1950-1980. Socialistic policies caused the greatest deadly man-made famine the world has ever seen. And really, that wasn't very long ago...within the lifetime of my parents.
Great man and a man of God. Many words of wisdom. This is how many communist countries have started out, pay attention in your history books. Travel the world and you will see that America is the greatest country. Let us not destroy her.
Wow, this is fake? I swear I hear the speech. Must be a Marxist who thinks Glenn Beck is smearing Van Jones. Even with the videos shown on air of Van's communists beliefs.

This guy is a stinking liar. Kruschev wasn't interested in helping conservatives make arguments against liberal US domestic policies (do you really think Kruschev would go around saying socialism would weaken the economy?). The quote is fake and totally invented by mccarthyists. Look it up anywhere if you dont believe me.
"the quote is fake... Look it up anywhere.." ? Really? Better if you did some research and find out who Benson was, and only then you might qualify to make a legitimate assessment about "this guy."
@rsrs17 I don't believe you. Show us the proof that it isn't fake. You make the accusation that it's false, do the work to prove it else your words mean nothing.
@rsrs17 Umm, yeah. I did. As much as I want to believe (O)ct(O)pus' and Capt. Fogg's blogs, I can't, especially when they are just exact copies of each other. I should have said, bring me some credible sources. These sources just say it's not true...that's it...without anything to back them up.
We need more people in government like this man! Down with socialism and communism! Down with Obama and opening trade and talks with Cuba! Down with talking with communist leaders and Iranian militant (against America) countries!
Do you believe Communism means Godless? Have you read Acts? Has your soul communism? Do you know the importance of keeping all healthy because you are as weak as your weakest member? Do you know what it is to go forth and fight and be restored to health because within another is the spiritual health to heal you? Or do you go to fight and return filthy and broken and your people kick you out because they aren't comfortable with your countenance ruined from the battle you fought for them?
Or perhaps you don't fight nor stand in defense for life? Perhaps it is easier to stand pure and blissful and never counter any hard thing. Perhaps you never looked to see why so many are in jail nor how they were brought down? Give the man in nice clothing a nice seat and preferencial treatment and you will never ever see how the rest have their garmets torn from them. How they are shamed and abused and used and controlled through the wickedness that is poured out upon them.
I think my words were misunderstood. I absolutely believe that President Benson (as well as all the other prophets) know what they were talking about. But suddenly deciding that Obama is THE bad guy may not be correct. After all, socialist policies have been around a long time. Why not Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush or anyone else? It's a long road and no one person can be completely blamed. That's all I meant.
Wow, for the secretary of agriculture, Mr Benson really knew what was going to happen. Small pieces of socialism at a time until we are a socialist country. Each president has introduced a little more, until it was escalated over the last 16 or 17 years. (yes, I am a small government libertarian). Thank you for posting this.

My husband & I are active, faithful Latter-day Saints. After following the elections carefully, reviewing the candidates stands on the issues (not just media hype), and many sincere prayers we both voted for Obama. While we don't think he's perfect, he was the better choice. This talk was given during the height of the cold war. President Benson passed away in 1994 - I hardly think it's fair for us to now decide he was talking about Obama personally.
@ileah519 so you are basically saying that what Nephi Alma Moroni and all those people in the book of Mormon said was 1000's of years ago that they didn't know what they were talking about for our age because it was so long ago>!>??
by saying that a Modern Day leader Like benson couldn't have been talking about our days because it was 44 years ago???
@wildoutdoorsguy Everything that comes out of a mormons mouth is pure lies,mormonism is the most blasphemous cult ever, they worship and pray to some scumbag prophet of satan joseph smith
They sing praises to "the man", also. And, revere Joe-Joe.
NOT a good idea, there! As the God of the Bible gave a commandment to revere just God, Himself. Mormons LOVE to put their leader-dogs upon high pedestals: of course, when they do FALL from that great height, the members are so crest-fallen, over it, that there is nothing that "The Brethren" can do but put that one out to pasture: like they did with Elder Paul H Dunn.
I'm not concerned with Benson's religion. What does concern me (since I have no reason to disbelieve him when he relates what Khrushchev said) is the fact that Communism was ahead of schedule then, and socialism is the direction in which our country has been headed ever since Khrushchev's visit to the U. S. in 1959, thanks largely to the Democratic party's Welfare plan and similar "reforms." As Halloween approaches this year, don't let the U. S. president continue to steal your kids' candy!
"I do not wonder at this people having trouble; I do not wonder at some of our sisters having sorrow in what is termed plural marriage; for they do not live so as to have the Spirit and power of God upon them; if they did, they would see its beauty and excellence, and not a word would be said against it from this time henceforth and forever... their eye is not on the resurrection and on the kingdom we are looking for when Jesus will come and reign King of nations as he does King of Saints."
Take this with a grain of salt. He isn't wrong, but take heed. He spoke these words as an Apostle--not as President of the Church aka The Prophet. Post a clip of ETB speaking so stridently (paranoidly) as The Prophet and then I'll "git muh guns" with worry about "dem commies".

The mormons and the word "truth" is an oxy moron. NOTHING truthful about this mormon so called church full of lies,deceit and trickery. Where the hell do you mormons get off telling people that they need to accept that filthy loser joseph smith the prophet of satan in order to get into heaven?!?! No wonder so many people wanna beat you to a pulp, who are you to put something of satan like joseph smith above Jesus Christ
To be completely honest you seem to have no idea what the teachings of the mormon church are, where is your evidence that Joseph Smith is of Satan? We Mormons believe, in contradiction to your previous statement that Joseph Smith did more than any other, SAVE Jesus Christ himself, to bring the true word of God to this earth, we do not put Joseph Smith above Jesus at all, we worship Jesus Christ, we do not do the same for Joseph Smith.

You know what el3mnt just shut your mouth, you're another mormon idiot who makes fun of Jesus Christ by putting some scumbag sloppy piece of shit mormon prophet of satan joseph smith above Jesus Christ. NOTHING THAT A MORMON SAYS IS VALID.. YOU'RE A LIAR AND A PRODUCT OF SATAN
It is contrary to your point of being christlike to disregard someone opinion or beliefs based solely on who they are, you are without doubt as bad as a Nazi believing jews have no rights and don't deserve to exist. where is your evidence i ask again? you point fingers and accuse us of devil worship when i guarantee you, we are christian in every respect. Christ is our loving savior, we believe in the bible and that it is the word of God, we believe in His son Jesus Christ.
on the other hand, YOU my friend are exactly the type of person warned about in this talk, unwilling to allow others to have their own beliefs and opinions, as the Nazis, The Soviets, The North Koreans, and the Terrorists of today do and you are the person we need to fear and unite against, not a church whose main doctorine is "Love One Another"
Sorry Dirtyblonde, i am not a mormon but i have to agree with Element here you are a bigot and no better than a Nazi or a Soviet, so take that from a non mormon. Your a dumbass blinded by your own prejudices and stupidity!
What was the last Revelation received by these Especial Witnesses of Christ? I am sure being Especial Witnesses they have seen and conversed with the Lord face to face. Just one little Revelation will suffice!
Bush and his cronies should have listened to this video 8 years ago. It would have saved us from this mess they have created. From the Iraq war to Guantanamo to the worst economic downfall; Lies after lies, they have single handedly destroyed what this country stood for.
please don't tell me you think obama and his socialist-conspirators are blameless. obama closed GTMO. obama is behind the government takeover of the american auot industry. obama hasn't created ANY JOBS... don't get me started, i only get 500 words to leave a comment
Well... I know many Christians, Catholics, atheists, agnostics, Buddhists that did as well... BIG WHOOP!... so there are stupid people everywhere. What's your point? Check the states that are loaded with Mormons, like Utah and Idaho. You may want to rethink your claims. Mormons voted nearly 100% AGAINST Obama.
Mr. Benson was correct in his warnings. Many others were also aware and spoke out. Today the conspiracy is out in the open and the people too dumb to see.
I am not suggesting and hope that others do not suggest that mr. Bensons words are prophecy in this case. Experience, wisdom, and a knowlege of history are the base for his statments here. The warnings against a world wide socialist movement where and are true. The same socialists minipulated anti-socialists into a violent frenzy and lead them on crusades around the world overthrowing governments and plundering others natural resourses.
Currently there is a Libertarian movement that is being hijacked by the same national socialists in the republican party. They are stirring up violent emotions in conservatives against democrats, hoping they will act out...perpetuating the need for more control.
REPUBLICAN LEADERS ARE NATIONAL SOCIALISTS. Prescott Bush was an actual, documented and Nazi accomplices DURING WW2!
The rhetoric between the 2 parties is different, but largely the policies haven't changed for a hundred years. WAKE UP!
A government that uses its violent hand to force the people to surrender life, liberty, or property is hypocritical and outright satanic. These are God given rights to all who are born. It's backward to suggest a government has the authority From God to take these rights away.
I hope you are not suggesting Mr. Benson believes I'm this form of government.
I have removed this conversation between lameva and elijahstanfield, as I have done with others in the past when they ventured off topic.
If you wish to debate weather religion is bad or Joseph Smith was a Tyrant, please continue through e-mails or on your own videos. This video was meant to be political. I will allow short opinions off topic, but long, complete rants that have nothing to do with Benson or political philosophy will be removed, weather they be pro or anti-Mormon.
Research The Trilateral Commission, The Council of Foreign Relations, Builderburg & Rockefellers.
The georgia guidestones are a testamant, carved in stone that the population of humanity will never rise above 500 million.
THE NEW WORLD ORDER is the end game. Through central banks countries have been carefully overthrown, in the end you'll find Carbon taxes (Eugenics guise) & a world currency under dictatorial government that will make the nazi's proud.

This satanic cult called mormonism has GOT TO BE STOPPED ASAP!!! So many researchers throughout the decades who found solid enough evidence to prove that mormonism is full of lies,deceit and trickery and yet these mormon idiots try to get us to believe that they really follow Jesus Christ when in reality they follow these sick mormon prophets of satan, NOTHING THAT IDIOT DICK HEAD MORMON BENSON SAID WAS TRUE NOTHING!!!
What credibility do you have to say that he was lying? Was it a lie that he was in the U.S. dept of agriculture too??
Get a clue and stop being so prejudiced on something so obvious. He was right on the money and the U.S. is going right down the socialist tubes while the mindless, hatefilled and ignorant like you stand by and applause..
Benson was considered, as a running mate of Strom Thurmond, of the Dixiecrat Party, back in 1948. (And, Thurmond was from the South, and was in favor of "keeping the darkie in his place": which seemed to have resonated, somewhere within Ezra's own bosom, on the subject! I wonder why?!!)
The most DAMNABLE thing about ETB was that he was a high-up leader (and spokesperson) for the John Birch Society, for many years: this org is known for its ultra-rightist agenda.
Why don't you listen to alex jones who is a non mormon. Why don't you find out the truth behind 9/11 and the jfk assasination they all confirm the same thing. The satanic cult is the globalist that are running the country
If people had listened to this man in the 60's America and the world wouldn't be in the mess that its in. But no, you would rather believe fables and lies. What else don't you know?
@Whateverintheworld Small doses of Socialism. Obamacare, Take over of Auto Industry, Student Loan Industry, ect.... Everything is claimed to be for the good of the people, until they have full control and can do what they want. The problem now is that this Administration despite the things they've passed are still trying to sell it to the people like with Obamacare because the people still aren't buying and over 50% want it fully repealed.
Only Republican "Conservatives" are arrogant enough to see a man fallen into the gutter, sick and afflicted & without the means to get medical attention (i.e, no insurance) and say to him, "You brought it upon yourself, there, my brother: just jump up and get a job and get your own health insurance policy--like the rest of us!"
"Blessed are the merciful; for, they shall obtain mercy."
(Cursed are the unmerciful; for, they shall receive none).
@orlovna2 Only the deluded are naive enough to give so much power to a government based on a political party they support without the knowledge or foresight to understand the ramifications that may await should said party be removed from power. Republicans found this out with Bush. And know the Democrats are in the midst of giving the government more power and control. Obama hasn't got rid of the powers Bush obtained for the Exec. Branch, he has but built on them.
@orlovna2 And please do not be deceived in quoting scripture, as Christ never taught about mercy, charity, or any of the sort "by way of force and government mandates". Salvation is individual, not collective. Each many gives and does out of the dictates of his own heart.
Ezra Taft Benson is the man at ldsfreedomforum . com in case anyone is interested.

Three words. LAW OF CONSECRATION. MORMON COMMUNISM.
So I would like one of you mormons to explain to me, in principle, how it is any different for a government to socialize, rather than a church.
In both cases you consent. Law of consecration, you consent with a covenant with God.
With a government doing it, you are consenting by living in the country.
SO SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHY IT IS OKAY FOR GOD TO DO IT? THE PRINCIPLE ISNT RELIANT ON WHO IS CARRYING IT OUT..

@kamikazee55 - One is through freedom of choice, and one is forced by the government. I would rather show charity than forced to redistribute wealth by the government. I've never seen God force the law of consecration on people. People choose to live it.

@hadibus I agree with what you said. However, it is clear that mormons are worse than communists. Or at least they accept the same morality. Collectivism.
"It is better that one man should perish than that a nation should dwindle and perish in unbelief." God justified taking Laban's life by force for the sake of a greater number. He has also justified slavery.
You people accept a morality that has no respect for individual rights.

@kamikazee55 You’re not a moron you’re just misinformed. You’re doing what many others do in religion, that is, taking one scripture completely out of contexts. Mormons are taught to befriend the Constitution which totally supports individual rights. Communism is by force. The collectivism that Jesus and his disciples taught and lived in the New Testament was entirely voluntary. There is a big difference between the two.
Finianisback 1 year ago
@Finianisback Well then forget about communism. Collectivism is still evil. You don't think Laban was killed by force? He was drunk passed out on the ground and God still wanted him dead. The same morality is accepted. That individuals can only morally exist if they voluntarily give up their lives to the group.
And I am not basing this off one scripture. I am basing it off a wide array of mormon beliefs and practices. What about slavery...Was that voluntary?
kamikazee55 1 year ago
@kamikazee55 Yes I think Laban was killed by force. I think Christ used force to chase the money changers out of the Temple. Laban tried to kill Nephi twice and stole his property. I’ve heard the term Sailor’s rights protection of person and property used before. I’m told the principle is very American.
“Individuals can only morally exist if they voluntarily give up their lives to the group.” Where on earth does that come from? That’s what I mean about taking something out of context.

@kamikazee55 The 11th article of faith is clear about them freedom of religion. That would include the right not to be a Mormon. Mormons opposed slavery. That was one of the reasons they were persecuted. The whole drive to support the Constitution venomously opposes slavery and endorses liberty which includes the right to be atheist like Thomas Paine. Those who love liberty hate slavery.

@Finianisback Well God doesn't hate slavery. He outright permitted it in the old testament. He said that it was immoral for a slave to leave their master. So don't B.S. me.
I am not convinced I could be LDS. It defends the collective over the individual. It morally justifies collectivism even through the use of force. Slavery, etc. And I don't support collectivism because I exist for my own sake, not as a tool to be sacrificed.
kamikazee55 1 year ago
@kamikazee55 Slavery was allowed in the Old Testament but the Book of Mormon contains many accounts of how one group tried to take over the other group and turn them into slaves. Captain Moroni fought to defend his liberty continually. Thus Mormons are taught to oppose slavery not turn people into slaves.
Finianisback 1 year ago
@Finianisback So because God only allowed slavery in the Old Testament and not in the Book of Mormon, that makes it okay???
God's principles change? Morality changes? What you are saying would prove that God is imperfect and immoral. Mormons also believe in the Old Testament. My seminary teacher even talked about it being immoral for a slave to leave their master. Your contradictions are disgusting.

@kamikazee55 You’re the one that said slavery was OK, I certainly did not. I’m from Canada. I’m from the North not the South. Personally I think entertaining a conversation with a group of people who fought a war for the right to keep slaves is a complete waste of time. God does not change neither does his laws. It is man that consistently falls short of God’s aspirations wherein God has changed the law to help raise him to a higher plane.

@kamikazee55 All the seminary teachers I know are not paid unless they are high up and employed in Church Education. Here’s the deal. I do not support slavery.

In that context God sanctioned them leaving the bonds of slavery.

@Finianisback Haha. There was also slavery in the new testament. As in Peter met a runaway slave and told him to go back. And if God thinks that we must follow the law, then he is immoral. There is no country on earth with laws that would be what God wanted. By supporting their laws, he is permitting immorality.

@burtontool I argue all systems of economics. Capitalism has the best system out there.

Another example is China. Under socialistic policies, China failed and millions died. As China pushed capitalism, it has now become an economic superpower.

@burtontool Actually if you look at how the social communities were handled, it was a form of socialism built to transition into communism. The goal was communism, but at the time it was socialism.

It was because of Mao's socialistic policies that caused 20-30 million people to die.

our capitalist system hasn't failed yet, but if it does it would have been orchestrated to do so. firstly, by sending all industry else where, then opening our borders and allowing many jobs that are left go to illegals. then bailing out failed banks and businesses, ( which is not a capitalist idea) then implementing social programs that cannot be paid for, it seems obvious that someone is trying to prove that capitalism can fail.

on the other hand, YOU my friend are exactly the type of person warned about in this talk, unwilling to allow others to have their own beliefs and opinions, as the Nazis, The Soviets, The North Koreans, and the Terrorists of today do and you are the person we need to fear and unite against, not a church whose main doctorine is "Love One Another"

Sorry Dirtyblonde, i am not a mormon but i have to agree with Element here you are a bigot and no better than a Nazi or a Soviet, so take that from a non mormon. Your a dumbass blinded by your own prejudices and stupidity!

What was the last Revelation received by these Especial Witnesses of Christ? I am sure being Especial Witnesses they have seen and conversed with the Lord face to face. Just one little Revelation will suffice!

Bush and his cronies should have listened to this video 8 years ago. It would have saved us from this mess they have created. From the Iraq war to Guantanamo to the worst economic downfall; Lies after lies, they have single handedly destroyed what this country stood for.

Well... I know many Christians, Catholics, atheists, agnostics, Buddhists that did as well... BIG WHOOP!... so there are stupid people everywhere. What's your point? Check the states that are loaded with Mormons, like Utah and Idaho. You may want to rethink your claims. Mormons voted nearly 100% AGAINST Obama.

Mr. Benson was correct in his warnings. Many others were also aware and spoke out. Today the conspiracy is out in the open and the people too dumb to see.
truthfreedom4all 2 years ago 4
I am not suggesting and hope that others do not suggest that mr. Bensons words are prophecy in this case. Experience, wisdom, and a knowlege of history are the base for his statments here. The warnings against a world wide socialist movement where and are true. The same socialists minipulated anti-socialists into a violent frenzy and lead them on crusades around the world overthrowing governments and plundering others natural resourses.

Currently there is a Libertarian movement that is being hijacked by the same national socialists in the republican party. They are stirring up violent emotions in conservatives against democrats, hoping they will act out...perpetuating the need for more control.
REPUBLICAN LEADERS ARE NATIONAL SOCIALISTS. Prescott Bush was an actual, documented and Nazi accomplices DURING WW2!
The rhetoric between the 2 parties is different, but largely the policies haven't changed for a hundred years. WAKE UP!

A government that uses its violent hand to force the people to surrender life, liberty, or property is hypocritical and outright satanic. These are God given rights to all who are born. It's backward to suggest a government has the authority From God to take these rights away.
I hope you are not suggesting Mr. Benson believes I'm this form of government.

I have removed this conversation between lameva and elijahstanfield, as I have done with others in the past when they ventured off topic.
If you wish to debate weather religion is bad or Joseph Smith was a Tyrant, please continue through e-mails or on your own videos. This video was meant to be political. I will allow short opinions off topic, but long, complete rants that have nothing to do with Benson or political philosophy will be removed, weather they be pro or anti-Mormon.

The georgia guidestones are a testamant, carved in stone that the population of humanity will never rise above 500 million.
THE NEW WORLD ORDER is the end game. Through central banks countries have been carefully overthrown, in the end you'll find Carbon taxes (Eugenics guise) & a world currency under dictatorial government that will make the nazi's proud.

Get a clue and stop being so prejudiced on something so obvious. He was right on the money and the U.S. is going right down the socialist tubes while the mindless, hatefilled and ignorant like you stand by and applause..

Benson was considered, as a running mate of Strom Thurmond, of the Dixiecrat Party, back in 1948. (And, Thurmond was from the South, and was in favor of "keeping the darkie in his place": which seemed to have resonated, somewhere within Ezra's own bosom, on the subject! I wonder why?!!)
The most DAMNABLE thing about ETB was that he was a high-up leader (and spokesperson) for the John Birch Society, for many years: this org is known for its ultra-rightist agenda.

Why don't you listen to alex jones who is a non mormon. Why don't you find out the truth behind 9/11 and the jfk assasination they all confirm the same thing. The satanic cult is the globalist that are running the country

@Whateverintheworld Small doses of Socialism. Obamacare, Take over of Auto Industry, Student Loan Industry, ect.... Everything is claimed to be for the good of the people, until they have full control and can do what they want. The problem now is that this Administration despite the things they've passed are still trying to sell it to the people like with Obamacare because the people still aren't buying and over 50% want it fully repealed.

Only Republican "Conservatives" are arrogant enough to see a man fallen into the gutter, sick and afflicted & without the means to get medical attention (i.e, no insurance) and say to him, "You brought it upon yourself, there, my brother: just jump up and get a job and get your own health insurance policy--like the rest of us!"
"Blessed are the merciful; for, they shall obtain mercy."
(Cursed are the unmerciful; for, they shall receive none).
(Cursed are the self-justifiers, too)

@orlovna2 Only the deluded are naive enough to give so much power to a government based on a political party they support without the knowledge or foresight to understand the ramifications that may await should said party be removed from power. Republicans found this out with Bush. And know the Democrats are in the midst of giving the government more power and control. Obama hasn't got rid of the powers Bush obtained for the Exec. Branch, he has but built on them.

@orlovna2 And please do not be deceived in quoting scripture, as Christ never taught about mercy, charity, or any of the sort "by way of force and government mandates". Salvation is individual, not collective. Each many gives and does out of the dictates of his own heart.
