The Gospel of John offers one of the clearest pictures of who Jesus really is—and it stands in direct contradiction to the teachings of Mormonism. In this video, we explore five key doctrines where LDS beliefs clash with Scripture, including Jesus’ eternal identity, salvation by faith, the nature of God, and the false idea of a second chance after death.

What did Joseph Smith do with John 1:1? How does John 8:24 challenge the LDS idea of spirit world conversions? And why does Jesus say He is the only way to God?

We’re diving deep into the Bible to expose the truth and hold fast to the gospel as it was originally given. If you want to understand the real Jesus and compare Mormon theology with Scripture, this video is for you.

📖 Key verses: John 1:1, John 6:47, John 14:6, John 4:24, John 8:24
