Summary

I wish I could say that Mormonism was a genuine branch of Christianity. Sadly, it is not. And to affirm that it is would be cruel to people and disrespectful to God. Here's the playlist of videos I have that go over Latter-Day Saint (Mormon) content in a lot of detail, including addressing the false claims of Joseph Smith: • Pastor Mike Winger - Mormonism Playlist My website: https://BibleThinker.org

0:00.0	X Mormon here, surely all Christians believe things about God that are incorrect, but they're still saved.
0:05.9	What makes LDS different? How are my misconceptions acceptable when theirs aren't?
0:10.9	Well, you're X Mormon, so they're not really your misconceptions now, are they?
0:15.7	Maybe they are. Maybe there's some things you've carried over. Let me just point out two extremes,
0:20.1	right? Here's one extreme I think that you would agree with me. This is wrong. Someone who's like,
0:25.6	here's my list of doctrines everything I believe about Jesus. If you disagree and God and
0:30.4	Christianity and living life and practicing and all that, if you disagree on any point,
0:34.8	you're not a Christian. If you aren't part of my exact group, my denomination,
0:39.0	you are not a Christian. You don't even count as a Christian. That would be too extreme
0:43.7	to think that everything is essential. Every belief is essential. Every doctrine, everything is
0:47.6	essential. But then there's another totally extreme view, which is to think that none of them are.
0:52.6	Or as long as you use the name Jesus, it doesn't matter how you define him. Like, what if I call
0:58.1	this little fan remote Jesus? I worship Jesus. But I'm using the name Jesus, right? Obviously,
1:04.6	I'm not a Christian. And if I dress up a religion that has a bunch of, but I have a baptism in the
1:12.3	name of Jesus, my fan remote, and I have like Sunday gatherings and weekly worship that we sing
1:18.9	worship songs to Jesus by which I mean my fan remote. Like this, I would, no matter how much
1:24.2	I look like on the periphery, like a Christian here, I'm not real Christian because I'm worshiping
1:28.5	a fan remote, forgive my silly analogy. So I think what happens is we don't want to have either
1:36.0	extreme, right? Agree with me on everything or you're out of your out of the body of Christ,
1:40.0	or disagree with me on everything and you're still a Christian because Christianity ultimately
1:43.5	means nothing now. Somewhere in the middle is the truth. Interestingly enough,
1:48.6	Mormonism now is a little closer, is a little further on this side, but not fully, right? But they're
