Thomas S. Monson, Mormon Prophet 178th Gen Conf (1 of 2)

[ExistanceSoldier]

Amen.

[atoz25]

Guys, your ancestors got conned by Joseph Smith. Just accept it and move on, please.

[jayhawk88z]

Matthew 24:24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect--. LDS

[chocolate271208]

They both stand as witnesses of the divinity of Jesus Christ, that He indeed is our Savior and Redeemer. Christianity only covers 30% of the world's population, the rest belong to other beliefs or to no God at all. The world both needs the Book of Mormon and the Bible to teach about Lord Jesus and His marvelous gospel.. Together they establish the truth founded by Jesus Christ Himself for mankind to find peace in this life and fullness of joy in the world to come. <3 <3 <3

[chocolate271208]

, meet with the full-time missionaries, study Heavenly Father's Plan and Jesus Christ -the center of that plan and what great thing our Redeemer asked Joseph Smith to do, then read, ponder and pray about Book of Mormon.. If you are an honest seeker of truth, you will know in your heart and mind 'by the power of the Holy Ghost that this book contains the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus which was in the Bible before but was taken. The Book of Mormon and the Bible complement each other....

[chocolate271208]

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is headed by Jesus Christ and the Book of Mormon is Another Testament of Jesus Christ. I am so grateful for the truth I am learning from this beautiful church. I know now how to find peace and it is by obeying Jesus Christ with exactness. I know how much He loves all of us. He died for us to pay for the penalty of our sins. It is just sad when people read some false teachings about this church. Before you judge, attend our church service first...

[middsquid1985]

So glad I got out of this f-ing lie and found Christ. This church is Satan's favorite church.

[theYwpp]

Are saints really supposed to cuss? I have never read about Jesus Christ cussing in the Bible. Clean your mouth please.

[SOADFanatic777]

Thomas Monson give a good testimony, and he is the true prophet of heavenly father.

[DodgerRiley]

OMG, it's the fat kid from Superbad as an old man. Their god must look like Mclovin. 

[10mavis]

shut up faggot

[DodgerRiley]

@10mavis You know I am right. He does look like the fat kid from Superbad

[10mavis]

@DodgerRiley oh no i not talkin to u

[LukeAir2008]

CSU, that's a silly question isn't it? I mentioned that Thomas Monson follows the promptings of the Spirit - as do all true Saints. How many Peter's were there? One. Matthew 16 says he was given the Keys of the Kingdom. He was the Senior Apostle. Thomas Monson is the senior apostle today. Why do you want to be a Judas? Why not just accept the truth and join the Church of Jesus Christ.

[LukeAir2008]

CSU, John in his first epistle speaks of walking in the light. Paul speaks of not companying with fornicators etc. The Lord himself said if you love me Keep my commandments. So when I said Thomas Monson was worthy, I mean he has tried to do what Christ would have him do, to be a good example of a believer, not a fornicator, not a liar, not a thief etc. To follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit.

[csu12]

@LukeAir2008 - hello, do you not try to follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit?

[LDS4Life71]

Paul taught that God "will have [wants] all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth" (1 Tim. 2:4). Further, 2 Peter 3:9 teaches that God wants none to perish but wants all men to repent (see also Acts 17:30 and 2 Cor. 7:10). And Christ taught that "it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish" (Matt. 18:14).

[csu12]

@LDS4Life71 - and these are all correct...

[csu12]

@LDS4Life71 - Paul also said that according to the law, he was blameless, BUT that all of his righteousness was as filthy rags before God. Romans 3:20 clearly says: because (A)by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for (B)through the Law comes the knowledge of sin. This is saying that no one is saved BY their works. They are saved BY their faith, which LEADS to works, because faith without works is dead. Works are the evidence of conversion.

[LDS4Life71]

@csu12

and coming unto Christ through baptism is essential part of it. Only accepting Christ in this way is the Gate spoken of in Matthew 7.

[csu12]

@LDS4Life71 - ok, so then what was the problem with the rich young ruler? Christ said that he lacked one thing...what was it? Did Christ tell him to get baptized?

[LDS4Life71]

@csu12 YES HE DID, moron!

[csu12]

@LDS4Life71 - Luke 18: 18-30 - where does Christ mention baptism?

[LDS4Life71]

@csu12 On the day of Pentecost Acts 2:38 "And they were pricked in the hearts and shouted WHAT SHALL WE DO? AND PETER SAID REPENT AND BE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF SIN."

CHRIST DECLARED "Whether by Mine own voice, OR by the voice of my servants. IT IS THE SAME."

[csu12]

@LDS4Life71 - again, this has nothing to do with the rich ruler. Christ specifically tells him he lacks one thing...what was it?

[LDS4Life71]

@csu12 Your lackluster comments are rediculous now begone.

[csu12]

@LDS4Life71 :)

[SOADFanatic777]

@csu12 Where does christ mention baptism?.... Does Matt 28:20 rings the bell ?, I think you kind of off there my friend and i think you need to go back where you left off.

[csu12]

@SOADFanatic777 - Hello, i believe we were discussing the parable of the rich young ruler. Please show where Jesus tells the rich young ruler to get baptized.

[LDS4Life71]

James 2:26 Faith without works is dead.

[csu12]

@LDS4Life71 - this is one verse of many that talk about how works and faith relate. If we just read this one verse and ignore the others, then yes, we're going to walk away ready to work for Christ as a way to gain favor with Him. Did Jesus' miracles make Him who He was, or were they evidence that He was who He was? Did Jesus become our redeemer because He healed the lame, or did the fact that He heal the lame point to the fact that He was who he said He was?

[LDS4Life71]

@csu12And if they are not the words of Christ, judge ye...for Christ will show unto you, with power and great glory, that they are his words, at the last day; and you and I shall stand face to face before his bar; and ye shall know that I have been commanded of him to write these things....

2 Nephi 33:11 

[csu12]

@LDS4Life71 - the scriptures teach that our good works are as filthy rags before God, and that only the work of Christ is acceptable to redeem. The book of mormon teaches that until you rid yourself of all ungodliness, then and only then is Christ's work applicable to you. Different gospels. your choice.

[csu12]

@LDS4Life - scriptures

[csu12]

@LDS4Life - the bible teaches...

[LDS4Life71]

@csu12

If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."

--The words of Christ in Matthew 19:17

It doesn't give the ok to sin.

[csu12]

@LDS4Life71 - you're absolutely right. But John also says that we will have sin always. ok, so let's look at both. The bible does not teach perfectionism...if it did, we would all be in trouble, would u agree? Ok, but the book of mormon does teach perfectionism, that we must rid ourselves of all ungodliness before Christ's work will be applied to us. Have you rid yourself of all ungodliness??

[LDS4Life71]

@csu12 Ok the bible teaches it too.  christ said "BE YE THEREFORE PERFECT, EVEN AS YOUR FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN IS PERFECT."

That means denying sins

[csu12]

@LDS4Life71 - the scriptures make no statements saying that you must be perfect in order to become born again. That verse, in context is saying that we as believers aught to be different from the world, striving to be more like Christ. The book of mormon states. ..and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you. this is an explicit statement.

[sau333]

How do you get around being called a prophet! is there anything that you might do that would make you feel that this should be justified in calling you this.

[IpsaPaphum]

His timing in the 'Dear children note' is impeccable!

[kicker4life1]

this guys a prophet? how do you guys even know he talks to god or do you just have faith that he does? modern day prophets in suits, must be a nice change.

[csu12]

Hello, This question is to a Mormon:  What is the gospel?

[LDStothecore]

The LDS Bible Dictionary says:

The word gospel means good news. The good news is that Jesus Christ has made a perfect atonement for mankind that will redeem all mankind from the grave and reward each individual according to his/her works. This atonement was begun by his appointment in the premortal world but was worked out by Jesus during his mortal sojourn.

[csu12]

So Christ will redeem all men? Do we need to believe in Christ and love Him, or can we not believe in Him and hate Him and still be redeemed?

[LDStothecore]

Look at 3 Nephi Chapter 27 in the Book of Mormon. All are redeemed from the grave, it says. Not all will be able to live with God.

[csu12]

LDS - How will not living with God be? Painful? Torment?

[csu12]

LDS-Also, when the bible says you are saved by grace thru faith, what does that mean to you?

[LDS4Life71]

@csu12

Read the book of Mormon, another testament of Jesus Christ, and you may gain knowledge concerning the principles and ordinances of the gospel, and you may learn the meaning of life, and how you may return one day to our Father in Heaven.

[csu12]

@LDS4Life71 - who is the "we" referring to in this verse?? 2 Corinthians 11:4 - For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

[LDS4Life71]

@csu12

I would have to say the original twelve apostles that were martyrd by pagans and jews in the first century... Warning against the Nicean "trinity" three headed morphing goo God.

Which isn't biblical.

[csu12]

@LDS4Life71 - so you believe that the Jesus the apostles spoke of is the same Jesus that Joseph Smith spoke of centuries later? You believe that the apostles believed that Jesus and Satan, and you and I are all brothers from the same physical dad? That the apostles believed that their works is what gains them favor with God? That the apostles believed that they could one day rule their own planet?

[LDS4Life71]

@csu12

The planet is this one. Not another. The problem is you are confused with the true meaning of born again. The thief on the cross wasn't born again and neither are the evangelicals world-wide. You must stand in the water as a sinner and be immersed in the water as John the Baptist did Jesus. The apostles taught this, and did PERFORM those works, and the lost gospel and truths were RESTORED by the Prophet Joseph Smith as well as God's authority to act in His name.

[csu12]

@LDS4Life71 - so the thief is not with Christ today? 

[LDS4Life71]

@csu12

Better do the research what we have to say about it then.

Jefflindsaydotcom

has great articles that talk about the very subject.

[LDS4Life71]

@LDS4Life71

Paul said in the New Testament "and I saw one go the 3rd heaven" not the first heaven. meaning the thief accepted a lesser station. He didn't attain the highest glory.

[csu12]

@LDS4Life71 - your website offers better insight than what Jesus said to the thief?

[LDS4Life71]

@csu12

paradise isn't heaven. the thief first was sent to prison.

[csu12]

@LDS4Life71 - so is the thief not with Christ today?

[LDS4Life71]

@csu12

Ye have not entered at the straight gate which leads to life. Repent and stand in the waters a sinner, and be born again as John the baptist did Jesus Christ the founder of the restored church of Jesus Christ with a foundation of apostles and prophets.

Ephesians 4:11-14

[csu12]

@LDS4Life71 - what does this have to do with the thief? is Christ with the thief today? i take it from your responses that you say no. You believe that being baptized is a necessary work to get to be with Christ. Problem is, all of our "good works" are as filthy rags before God. Are u saying when Jesus said to the thief, "today you will be with me in paradise", Jesus was saying, "we'll just hang out a bit, and then you'll be forever apart from Me??"

[LDS4Life71]

@csu12

I say read the article from the website and then get back to me.

[LDS4Life71]

@csu12

Also I will point out that Jesus Christ, and Satan in the premortal heavenly council were Never equals. Christ though first created Spirit of all of us is the Alpha to all of us still. Revelations give some insight as to this fact.

[SuperWhodat2010]

you'll see

[csu12]

hello, how does someone become a prophet of the church of christ of latter day saints?

[LukeAir2008]

csu12 . I don't think you can choose to become the Prophet. If you're sincere and worthy you might be called as one of the Twelve Apostles and then you just have to outlive the other eleven Apostles!

[csu12]

@LukeAir2008 - what does it mean to be worthy of being a prophet?

[LDS4Life71]

@csu12

The way God has always done it. Christ said "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you" to be apostles, prophets and witnesses to the power and Glory than ye behold.

Amos 3:7 Surely the LORD will do nothing, except he revealeth his secrets unto his servants the prophets.

[NrdyPrep]

He is just soaking it up... "laugh, my minions, laugh!" is what he is thinking.

This isn't no prophecy... what happened to making prophecies as a prophet??

[SallyPeaches]

proph⋅et noun

1. a person who speaks for God or a deity, or by divine inspiration.

2. (in the Old Testament)

a. a person chosen to speak for God and to guide the people of Israel: Moses was the greatest of Old Testament prophets.

b. (often initial capital letter) one of the Major or Minor Prophets.

c. one of a band of ecstatic visionaries claiming divine inspiration and, according to popular belief, possessing magical powers.

d. a person who practices divination.

[SallyPeaches]

In each definition given, the idea of fortelling the future is one of the last definitions. The prophet is a teacher first and foremost.

[AmyTaylor32]

Don't agrue with them it's not worth it. They will find out for themselves soon enough.They need to read the kings james version of the bible and read the book of mormon to understand, and then they can make what ever judgement they want. now you and i know that the church teaches us the true goisple on the earth. it also teaches us not to argue with our fellow man. let them what they may and leave it at that. sister taylor

[SallyPeaches]

Thank you, Sister Taylor, but I don't really feel like I'm arguing, now, anyway, but he asked a question so I answered it. We're also taught to teach our fellow man, right? If it turns to a downright argument, then that's him being stubborn and then I'll bow out.

[MrAccordionPimp]

@NrdyPrep in these Latter-days prophecies come from thy holy teleprompter

[CORPSEINTRON]

"Wo unto those who call evil good, and good evil" Such is the case of anti-Mormons.

[shinyorangepenguin]

President Thomas S Monson is a true prophet.

[Jehovahdefender]

Don't prophets umm... "Prophecy"? I wonder over the past 100 years if you guys have been in guidance of a prophet where are the revelations written down in the scriptures? Are what they saying not important enough to be put in the LDS scripture?

[Reklaw008]

I don't think they can prophecy, since it is a noun. But prophesy, sure.

[YoungDream181]

no one is going to hell ...

[Jehovahdefender]

"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Matthew 7:13-14 I think Jesus Contradicts that...

[theamazingmike01]

WHy are peoplewho are anit mormon watching mormon videos?

[MormonApostle]

Monson the fake prophet, seer and revelator. What has he done to prove this? NOTHING-

[shayneby]

EMOTIONALISM.

That's what the mormoon's rely on.

How does this man sleep at night? All the lies, falsehood, frauds.

MANIPUTALION OF PEOPLE'S MINDS.

People believe in a FICTITIOUS BOOK, that keeps getting changed as time goes by but some mormons NEVER see it.

CONTROL OF THE MIND is very POWERFUL.

[johsonjoerocks]

Joseph Smith is a false prophet. I was a mormon and so happy I left the Mormon Cult. The first think I notice after leaving the mormom cult is I had more money in my pocket cause LDS INC was getting that 10% of my income. I learned that I don't need Joseph Smith or his made up religion to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. Joseph Smith will only lead the Mormons to hell. Say no to LDS inc.

[SallyPeaches]

you know that God said to pay a tithe of 10%, right? It's in the Bible. Brother Smith didn't make that up. And if you believe in Jesus Christ, then you have to believe in the Bible, sooo really not paying it is going to lead YOU into hell.

[johsonjoerocks]

There is no New Testament command to pay 10% TAX to LDS inc! Show me in the bible, the book of moron or any other false scriptures LDS inc spews out by the mouth of satan!

[tehanismom]

i recognize that attitude as being the same as those in the scriptures who reject the words of the prophets of God. perhaps you see the similarities as well? they were in danger of the judgments of God. I know that by abiding the Lord's commandments, heeding the counsels of the prophets, I will never be led astray, not even by one like you.

[johsonjoerocks]

Remember the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Joseph Smith will only lead you astray. He was not a saint, he was not a prophet of God, he was a horny con artist that got laid and made some money off of a good bullshit story. LDS inc has done a great job white-washing and making Joseph and Hyrum look like saints and martyrs! Joseph Smith's own church had him executed at the Carthage Jail, they allowed it to happen. Wake up people, open your eyes to truth!

[scottidogi17]

im wondering where you got your information regarding Joseph Smith. Because I think you might be misinformed concerning him.

[NrdyPrep]

I think johsonjoerocks asked you for a New testament commandment that says you have to pay 10%.... You have yet to quote anything... even old testament...

[SallyPeaches]

Malachi 3:8-10

3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

3:9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.

3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

Here we see that God

[SallyPeaches]

commands us to pay tithe.

In Hebrews 7:4 it tells how Abraham gave one tenth of his spoils to Melchizedek, who was a Priest of God.

If Abraham can give 10%, why can't we?

[SallyPeaches]

In fact, God has often asked us to sacrifice some of our material belongings so that we can understand that He is more important than the things we give him. Another example:

Dueteronomy 15:19  All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.

[SallyPeaches]

And we all know the story of how Able brought the best of the products of his labour, and how Cain only gave what he thought he could do without. At least Cain knew he had to give something, even if he was cheap about it and God didn't accept it.

[SallyPeaches]

Oh and Genesis 28:20-22 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, "If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, so that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God: and this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that you shall give me I will surely give the tenth unto you."

"the TENTH unto you"

Sorry it took me so long, I've been extremely busy.

[SallyPeaches]

Shall I find more? I know there's at least 2 in the New Testament.

[1993hottie]

if yall just try to come to the church of jesus christ of later day saints and listen to the missionaries and prophets nmaybe you will be able to understand what were talking about.

and this is comeing from a 16th year old girl.yall dont know how many pressure ppl put me through.

just one question why do ppl hate on mormons so much

[rbvmtr]

If their in here their listening

They hate us because they chose to be guided by error and confusion. Oppsition in all things . Jesus said beware of priestcrafts for this reason . Those who preach against us ,Glory in themselves

[1993hottie]

very true

[MereMessenger]

Seems like the lds focus a lot on their spouses. Should be Jesus instead.

[chainsticks88]

The mormons are proven by thousands of researchers throughout the decades to be full of lies,deceit and trickery.. they put Jesus on the backburner to that hideous mormon prophet of satan joseph smith smi right down to the latest piece of shit mormon prophet of satan monson

[MereMessenger]

I am aware of Mormonism's history and doctrine that is unbiblical. I try to lead them out of Mormonism and into a relationship with Jesus. If you are doing the same I would suggest you comment with pure love.

[rbvmtr]

WE do , Jesus Christ is our main focus but,the plan of salvation actually focuses on the Family everywhere in the scriptures read the 10 comandments they are family based 1st honor diety God ,Jesus Christ ,and the Holy Spirit 2nd your parents 3rd . wife and child 4th your neighbor and 5th yourself and family centered in Christ stays together . (love and charity !)

[MereMessenger]

The ten commandments have nothing to do with our salvation. They are simply reflections of God's holiness and show us our sin. Salvation is dependent on accepting Jesus period. A family may help you through life but they do not determine whether you spend eternity in heaven or hell.

[rbvmtr]

so your saying that as long as I believe in Christ I can abuse myself my family and others steal lie and commit whoredoms and still be able to be saved

[MereMessenger]

When you believe in Christ the Holy Spirit comes into your mind and regenerates your thoughts, actions, and motives. You will not want to commit sin and be able to keep the commandments better than you ever did by just obeying the law. It will come much more naturally when you have the spirit changing you. Sin will never be completely gone on earth, but you will have much less of it in your life with the spirit.

[1993hottie]

you have to follow the commendments to be saved

[MormonApostle]

your an idiot mormon

[raekuul]

you follow what this guy saids he is the True and only true living prophet on this earth.

[Ilegalplayer]

This teaches White Mormons that Black skin is a CURSE & White Mormons can preach it and say it is FROM GOD & he is the RACIST!

"...cursing to come upon them, yea, even a sore cursing...the Lord God did cause a skin of BLACKNESS to come upon them (Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 5:21)"

"And the skins..were DARK,according to the MARK which was set upon their fathers..which WAS A CURSE upon them...(Book of Mormon,Alma 3:6)"

"and the CURSING which hath come upon their skins...(Book of Mormon, Jacob 3:5)"

[arabe45]

false! he did not serve a mission when was young! I do not belive in his words!

Arabe

[1993hottie]

Just b/c you guys arent mormons doesnt mean u have to hate us

monson is a graet prophet and plus if you dont like him why are you even watching it duh

so dont talk trash

[Ilegalplayer]

hottie This is the MORMON GOD CURSING AMERICAN INDIANS BLACK--->

"...the Lord God did cause a skin of BLACKNESS to come upon them (Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 5:21)"

This is the MORMON GOD CURSING AFRICANS BLACK --->

"..the LORD shall CURSE the land..A BLACKNESS came upon all the(BLACK AFRICANS)..of Canaan,that they were despised among all people..(Moses7:8)"

This is the MORMON GODS PROPHET,SEER and REVELATOR He knows the FUTURE!

Joseph Smith "...rebellious NIGGERS..." (Millennial Star,22:602)"

[raekuul]

we do see the future.

[raekuul]

i agree with you

[VenusInPisces]

I love President Monson, the first time I heard him speak, I actually felt it was God speaking to me through him.

[outfielder77]

MONSON YOUR JOKES ARE SO OLD

[turbospartan]

To all those that call this church a fraud know that you are denying the Gospel of Jesus Christ that was taught in the bible.

Amos 3:7

Amos 7:13-15

Regarding Joseph Smith. As moses was chosen to do the work of the lord so was Joseph Smith.He was chosen to restore the Gospel of Jesus Christ as he taught. The Bible teaches of this church. Study the bible.

Ephesians 4:11

Stop ridiculing the Church Of Christ. Wo unto all that chose to shun the teachings of the messiah Jesus Christ and his church.

[rbvmtr]

they are thet who live in the spacious building !

[goodguynow]

nope..we already banned it!!! idiot!!

[truthlovetruth]

I heard the HRC is asking Monson to support Gay Equality for Civil Unions, Hospital, Employment etc... because the LDS Church said they support all that but not marriage when it supported Prop 8.

[doomstoday]

Fraud, cult,........

[goodguynow]

we love you president Monson long live marriage between a man and a woman dont forget to vote pro #8

[truthlovetruth]

leave the country. Gay Marriage will happen.

[gilbzzzz]

I really loved this talk. He is such a great man.
