I’ve written in the past couple of months about witnessing to mormons. Since then, God has blessed me with several other conversations with Mormons. My son and I have continued to learn about Mormonism and how to witness to Mormons. At the Ambassadors Academy, I met Gary, who lives in Utah and had some additional pointers for me. He shared some information about some videos. In all, I’ve obtained four DVDs that examine Mormonism. Each shows how Mormonism is a lie.
The DVD’s that I have watched are:
The Bible vs Joseph Smith – In this video, a Christian and a Mormon look at a number of the Biblical prophets as well as prophets in the Book of Mormon to examine if they are true prophets based on the Biblical test of a prophet from Dueteronomy 18:20-22. Finally, they look at Joseph Smith himself. I liked this video not only for exposing the lies of the Book of Mormon, but also for validating the truth of the Bible. I’ve ordered a bulk supply of these to hand out to Mormons that I meet door to door and in other settings. I plan to send a copy of this video to each of the Mormons that I’ve already witnessed too going door to door. You can order the DVD online.
The Lost Book of Abraham – This video is very well done. Actors play the parts of Joseph Smith and other people of his day to portray how Smith obtained some ancient scrolls that he claimed contained ancient writtings from Abraham. The video then shows some recent research into the ancient scrolls. The DVD is available for purchase. The video can also be watched entirely online.
The Bible vs the Book of Mormon – In this video a comparison for the history and archeology of the two books is done. This shows that the people and places of the Bible can be traced to actual places that exist today, while the people and places of the Book of Mormon can not. You can order a DVD or watch online.
DNA vs the Book of Mormon – The Book of Mormon claims that 500+ years before Christ, people from Israel sailed to the Americas and populated North and South America. This video examines this claim. Great for the scientific mind. You can order a DVD or watch online.
In Conclusion
It is important to remember that “the Gospel is the power to salvation.” (Romans 1:16) These videos can never replace the need to bring “Law to the proud and Grace to the humble.” We must continue to bring conviction of sin through the Ten Commandments and then share the Gospel as being the only means of salvation. What I have found with Mormons though, is even though their explanation of salvation is not something I agree with, when I explain to them to “repent and believe the Gospel” they claim that they have. What we must do is show them that they are worshipping another Jesus. The video “Joseph Smith vs The Bible” does a great job at exposing this, even showing video of one of the past mormon prophets agreeing that they worship a “different Jesus” and hence this is a different Gospel that Paul warned about in Galatians. It is my prayer that these videos will help to expose our Mormon friends to the idolatry that they are stuck in and help them to find the truth.
