Why only MAJOR religions?
-
FAIR 2004 conference talk by Roger Keller, a former Presbyterian minister who converted to the LDS Church, speaks about authority and religion. He speaks about the greatness of the Bible, and the great things about other faiths.

@graythman "There is no evidence whatsoever Jesus went about establishing a religious organization"
What is a Church? Did Jesus ever talk about building His Church?
-
The logic behind this argument he makes in this video makes no sense. 1 There is no evidence whatsoever Jesus went about establishing a religious organization...everything you are quoting is Post Jesus. The Foundation of Apostles and Prophets still exists because we have their teachings in the bible. Luke 16:16 and Heb 1:1-2 Make it very clear the OT structure of law and the prophets was until John, since then Jesus is preached.

The restoration could have never properly taken place. There is no mention of it until late 1834 in Times and Seasons. Joe Smith's own Mom mentions that the authority was "charismatic." No mention every appears in the early editions of the Book of Commandments. Plus the idea of God restoring an "Aaronic Priesthood," a preparatory priesthood that was only available to the sons of Levi and Aaron is even more ludicrous. If you study Hebrews 7, we find that Christ's authority is unshakable.

apostasy is turning away from believing that salvation is by GRACE trough faith - to believe that it is by your own works.
if you have never received salvation by GRACE - you have never been saved away.
you are living in darkness - no matter what church you attend .

Jesus Christ is Jah!

and you should be thankful for that too cuz thanks to those pagan influences we got to believe in a ton of cool things like the virgin birth, divine sonship, a ministry full of miracles, and the resurrection. Neat. Too bad Jesus was just a regular guy--terrific religious reformer--but still just as mortal as you and I.

Is it true that at the Last Supper, Jesus disclosed the secret signs and handshakes needed to get past Heaven's bouncers? I curse those evil, Satan inspired priests who wrenched those sacred and pure doctrines from the Bible.
Ephesians 2:20
Amos 8:11
Isaiah 60:2
Acts 3:21
Revelations 14:6-7
Daniel 2:24
All give references as well as many more concerning the apostacy and restoration of the Church prior to the 2nd coming.

With the death of the 1st Christians, the apostles and anyone else that had recieved God's Authority were put to death.
Ephesians clearly states that foundation of the church Christ set up would consist of apostles and prophets. It was the gift of prophecy that constitutes the true church. With their deaths, the foundation was removed and the original church fell into apostacy.
This is why it states in the new testament that "wolves already enter the flock" with different agendas.
