  • this is why America is falling behind the rest the world.

  • "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive." Adam plays the role of the father of mortality (which brings about death), Christ plays the role of the father of immortality--both are Sons of God. I am a mother, yet at the same time, I am a daughter, a sister, a wife, an aunt, a grandmother---all describe who I am either at different stages of my life or else to different people in my life. This pattern is repeated in mortality as well as in immortality (on a grander scale).

  • "As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly." This is what I believe Brigham Young was attempting to communicate--Adam's existence is repeated over and over again throughout the generations and throughout the eternities. We as Adams and Eves (parents) can learn much about our lives from them...and that has always been the pattern.

  • Adam is a state of being, a role one plays, a pattern, and name title for the first, the second, and for all mankind. So it can be used for one of the above or all of the above. "And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven."

  • God the Father is the Living God, the First Father, and the First of Many.

  • Brigham Young taught that one of the names of our Heavenly Father is "ADAM" which means "First Father" and "First of Many." He was not specifying the mortal man we call Adam when he used this term----but specifying his progenitor from whom he received his name. Recognition of this simple fact will resolve the large majority of the difficulties people encounter in some of Brigham Young's discourses on the subject.

  • Paul clearly told the Corinitian saints, "For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him." This is what the "mainstream" LDS Church believes.

  • @tfwaters "Adam Sr....."is our father and our God, and the only God with whom we have to do." Adam Jr played the role for us so that we might know Adam Sr. and know what we are also capable of.

  • @tfwaters Unfortunately for advocates of the Adam Sr./Adam Jr. idea, when all the details of the Adam-God idea are put together, it breaks down quickly. For Brigham, the same Adam that came to the Garden with one of his already-exalted wives... is the same Adam that took of the forbidden fruit in order to have mortal children... is the same Adam that impregnated Mary... is the same Adam that we ought to worship. Face it: Brigham botched it and Mormonism did damage-control in the early 1900's

  • Adam is not God the Father. Concerning the Garden of Eden, God referred to Adam as "lord" over the earth, when he was told to till it and take care of it. This term is taken out of its intended meaning...it was not meant as a doctrinal statement but rather an action. Adam is a prototype figure of God and as well as Jesus (Lord). All ancient prophets were REPRESENTATIVES of God, their actions should also REFLECT the true character of God; through their words/actions man can learn about God.

  • I would have loved to hear his response to God being unchangeable when you combine that belief with the Adam-God doctrine. According to Adam-God, God was once a man and become a God. Then God became the man Adam, ate the forbidden fruit, died, and then became God again. Even after becoming a God he became a man again. God even died again. How is that unchangeable? His response (at 21:54) about God being unchangeable since he obtained Godhood conflicts with the Adam-God doctrine.

  • You brought up some Mormon scripture (in your interviews with Jared and Aaron) to show how Joseph taught an unchangeable God during the early years of the church.

    Moroni 8:18

    Moroni 7:22

    Mosiah 3:5

    D&C 20:17

    (At 21:54) He said that God is unchangeable from the time he became God to the present. That is what it means from all eternity to all eternity. (At 24:14) He said it is just the position that is from all eternity to all eternity.

    Neither of them had a very good response to the question.

  • Aarron, I cant tell you how much this video has helped me. I have many morman friends who i love dearly and it is so sad how they worship a dead religion. I have broken down your video and am trying like u wiyh all my heart to plant seeds of doupt in there heads that they may one day find the true savior jesus christ. You convayed the true got to this morman man and you made hime doupt his religion and ask questions all out of love and patience. I cried and you could jusy see the lord working t

  • @landonyokers1 Thank you so much, brother, this is VERY encouraging to me!

  • Aaron...thanks for posting this...and thanks for all your hard work overall.

  • It's funny....mainstream LDS will disavow the Adam-God statements by Brigham Young; pretending that he didn't really mean the statements and here is a guy who believes it....

  • I wish I had asked Fundamentalist Aaron what he thought about black people! I haven't watched your entire conversation with him but I'm guessing that didn't come up. According to the wikipedia page on The Branch, ordination of blacks is their #1 problem with the mainstream LDS church. Wow!

  • AWESOME!!! Thank you for loving Mormons enough to tell them the truth.

  • Are the two guys in the background Mormons?

  • Never mind... i see the cross.

  • Aaron, I love your patience and focus in interviewing people regarding such confusing beliefs! Always Praying for you Brother, I am so blessed to know you!

  • Aaron S is very unassuming and patient.

  • You have a real gift for this brother. May GOD bless you in Christ.

  • What a quagmire Mormon beliefs are. Quagmire:

    1. an area of miry or boggy ground whose surface yields under the tread;

    2. a situation from which extrication is very difficult:

    3. anything soft or flabby.

    Not really solid ground. Thank you LORD for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Bible. Please remove the scales from these poor Mormons eyes.

  • Was Joseph Smith the first person to preach evolution?

  • Fundamentalist Mormons got alot more balls than the mainstream mormons. Atleast you can respect them for their forthrightness, unlike the squirlly fork tounged ms devils

  • false prophecies....false prophets...Jonah is not a false prophet...heard that one a lot from Mormons. 

  • Beautiful temple and music!!!

  • I really enjoyed the interview. If I may make one suggestion. At the end I was really hoping you would warn him about Hell and the fact that based on what he believes and who he is following he will end up there. I know the Lord used the threat of Hell and the magnitude of it very powerfully in my life. Thank You Brother for your ministry! God Bless.

  • @WorthDieing4 Thank you for the feedback, brother. Suggestion taken.

  • What event is this, and where is it?

  • @Darienbeagle Manti Pageant 2011, Manti, UT

  • How is it that Aaron can post videos that are 20 hours long, when the rest of the world can only post videos that are 10 minutes?

    God must really be with him.

  • @Acloocca I have an old "Director" account, but you can Google: youtube now longer than 15 minutes

  • @Acloocca Youtube partnership??

  • Another excellent job! I'm praying for Aaron!
