Mormon Religion In A Nutshell – John MacArthur

Every once in a while, I like to bring you something out of the ordinary. At least out of the ordinary for what we normally cover. This is one of those articles. I came across this a while back and it’s been on my list of things to cover when I had time. Today is the day, and since it’s Sunday it seemed like the right time. WARNING: this may trigger some people. Sorry about that, but I have to post the truth and exposing the Mormon religion is something that needs to be posted. By “exposing” all I mean is publishing what they truly believe. And that’s with John MacArthur does in this video. So if you’re triggered, that’s ok — I’m still going to post it. Watch here, it’s short: TRANSCRIPT: Audience Member: For Dr. MacArthur, yesterday you spoke a little bit about Mormonism, and today about how Jesus is the only way. At my school and places, I encountered these people, and yeah, we disagree, but they say we basically believe, we believe in Jesus too, and we believe he died on the cross. I was wondering how I can talk to them and how I would approach them without, like, I don’t want to call them demon worshipers or anything like that. John MacArthur: You may get to that of necessity. Just to talk about Mormonism for a moment, because we all confront this. I’ve had a couple of personal private meetings with the theological brain trust of BYU, who came down and spent hours and hours with me. Robert Millett, I don’t know if you know that name, who writes most of their stuff on theology. And we have talked through all of these issues. Here’s the problem. They are polytheists. They have millions of gods, just millions of them, and more all the time. Every time Mormons have a baby, they potentiate another god. So this is anything but Christian in its view of God. They have a Christ who is another Jesus. And another Jesus is a way to preach another Jesus and you get cursed. I have nothing to do with them or become a partaker of their evil deeds. But what they said to me was, “We love Jesus.” In fact, they said, “We love Jesus so much, and we want our young people at BYU to love Jesus, and so we’ve had our students in some of the classes read The Gospel According to Jesus that you wrote, to help them to love Jesus more.” I went into panic. What did I leave out? That was not a good experience for me. But they said to me, “We also believe in grace.” And they do. They have this sort of massive grace concept that most people, even though they don’t become Mormons, they won’t get. There are three heavens in Mormonism, and only one of them is where you want to be. The other two are where you’re stuck with being single forever. There’s a lot of weird sexuality in Mormonism, as you know, that is part of it. But there’s this first heaven, which is where grace operates. And this is a kind of near-universalism, where just because God is gracious, He’ll let you into that place, and it’s better than hell. Most people will get to that place, but you’re stuck being single and you’re stuck in a deprived situation. But if you have any desire to get to the second or the third, then you better crank up the works. So in the end: wrong God, wrong Christ, wrong way of salvation. They also say the Bible is corrupt. You see that in all their literature. The Bible has been corrupted. It is not trustworthy. It is not always right. It is not correct. And you have to turn to them for the correct interpretation of it and all of that. So I think you can start with the authority of Scripture. You can start with the person of God. You can start with the person of Christ, or you can start with salvation by grace. They even said to me, “We believe in salvation by grace.” And I said, “Well, explain the full extent of that.” Well, God didn’t have to give us a way to earn our way into heaven, so it’s a gracious thing that He allows us to do that. But I think you can pick any one of those you want, or try one and then try another, but you need to first distance them from Christianity. This is the thing they’re trying… they’re trying to close the gap. This is their formidable effort. You need to make sure they understand that this is more like Hinduism and paganism and false religion than it is anything to do with Christianity. And so they need to understand that. They are anything but Christian. They are seriously, fatally, and terminally non-Christian. Another Speaker: John, don’t you think that there’s a schizophrenia in Mormonism in the sense that in this kind of a context, they desperately want to be considered as Christians, but the whole rhetoric of Mormonism has been, “Christianity has been corrupted, and we alone have corrected it. We only understand it. But we want to be considered one of you too.” At the same time, both of those sides are played. John MacArthur: That’s right, and the best that can be said of us who are non-Mormons is that we may get into grace heaven, the lowest heaven, and be stuck being single forever, and with all the deprivations that also go along with that situation. Backup here if needed: And since I never like to leave you with just a negative, I give you this.

Pete Hegseth Makes Christmas History At The Pentagon

We are SO back! President Trump brought Christmas back and made it ok to say “Merry Christmas” again… Melania Trump brought beauty and class back to the White House Christmas decorations… And now Pete Hegseth is doing his part, making Christmas history at the Pentagon by planting a new “permanent” Christas tree that will grow to 30 feet tall and live for at least 50 more years. Watch here: JUST IN: Incredible moment as SecWar Pete Hegseth is at the FIRST-EVER Pentagon Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony They put up a tree that was planted when BALD EAGLES flew overhead! “It will grow to 30 feet tall and live for at least 50 years. Fitting tribute to the… pic.twitter.com/gobj6Btxxv — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) December 3, 2025 TRANSCRIPT: We are gathered to celebrate the blessing of the Christmas season here at the Pentagon and, a couple of months ago, my wife said, “Babe, President Trump brought Merry Christmas back. We’re going to bring Christmas back to the Pentagon.” And that’s what we’re doing. We are going to light a new, permanent Christmas tree and this one is a beauty: a 14-foot Nelly Stevens holly from Chantilly, Virginia, local. They say when the tree was planted, there were bald eagles flying overhead, true story. Fitting for this building. It will grow to 30 feet tall and live for at least 50 years, a fitting tribute to the warrior ethos here. It replaced a small serviceberry tree that was slated for removal anyway, so it made sense. RELATED REPORT: WATCH: Melania Trump Went ALL OUT For Christmas At The White House! Our beautiful First Lady Melania Trump just took Christmas to a whole other level!

We are going to plan.” Trump, 55, seemed at ease as she greeted a horse-drawn wagon with the enormous evergreen grown in the central Michigan town of Sidney. “It will be beautiful! We are going to plan, and it’s starting today,” said the first lady on the north driveway of the White House, wearing a long white coat, red gloves and plaid Manolo Blahnik heels. President Trump did not join the event after spending his morning on the phone with Chinese President Xi Jinping as his foreign policy team sought to seal a Russia-Ukraine peace deal by a self-imposed Thanksgiving deadline. But when I see this I can't help but think of the time this happened under Biden.... Remember this? Prophetic? White House Christmas Tree DEAD, New One Toppled Over They say God speaks in mysterious ways.... And in other times the message seems to be almost too clear to miss! That's the case here as the White House Christmas tree has TOPPLED over...blown over by a gust of wind! You really couldn't make this stuff up if you tried. Watch this great clip from Jesse Waters explaining what is going on: Peter Doocy has the most takedown of Joe Biden after a wind topples White House Christmas Tree to the GROUND— A sign from god? "Biden's biggest problem in the coming election year is going to be Father Time. But tonight it was Mother Nature."? pic.twitter.com/OapCNbgjnt — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) November 29, 2023 Another view: The White House Christmas tree toppling over.

Reports say the tree "may not be salvageable": The National Christmas Tree set to be lit by Biden in 48 hours was just “toppled” by the wind, US Parks Service says tree may not be salvageable Very fitting for the Biden White House. pic.twitter.com/xpiS6ri79X — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) November 28, 2023 The memes have come fast and hilariously: The White House Christmas tree blew over. What an appropriate metaphor for the Biden administration. pic.twitter.com/9CP7xY8Wnj — Sue (@SueJ2024) November 29, 2023 My personal favorite: https://twitter.com/benidormgek/status/1729759829307044299 But there's actually more to the story than just this. And it's even more prophetic! PenguinSix, who you may recognize from his great local reporting, reports that this wasn't the original White House tree. No, in fact the original tree caught a disease and DIED! This is the replacement tree: The White House Christmas Tree, a living tree planted just outside on the Ellipse, is dead. Disease ravished the tree so the Park Service decided for the first time in 50 years we would have a cut Christmas tree as the National Tree. That was all well and good, until the winds kicked up and blew that tree over. I was there as workers tried to pick it back up, but then I went over to the US Capitol to catch the tree lighting with the Speaker of the House. But that was disrupted by some Gaza Palestine protesters, who were quickly arrested by the US Capitol Police. Fascinating! It reminds me of that classic Monty Python scene ("So I built a third one!  .....that burned down, fell over, and then sank into the Swamp"): Hilarious, right? And so fitting. If you'd like to see up close and personal, enjoy this great vid from P6: This all reminds me of many other prophetic events involving prominent Democrats.... Like this one, anyone remember this?  When a falling light almost took out Hillary Clinton? Classic moment: Or how about all the flags constantly falling down around Democrats? PROPHETIC: Flags Blow Down As Fetterman Tells Huge Lie! You want a prophetic sign? I'll give you a prophetic sign! It's not a good one though, at least not for Fetterman. Or "Fetterneck" as some of you have dubbed him. Never forget who controls the wind, and never also forget a little Bible verse called Galatians 6:7: Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. Well, it looks like Fetterman just sowed what he's been reaping and it's not looking good for him! Watch here and see what happens immediately after Fetterman brags that he stands with a (P)resident who is "sedition free":   PROPHETIC? Watch as American flags suddenly blown down immediately after Fetterman says this Biden is "sedition free": pic.twitter.com/FI9GpaiNSw — Noah Christopher (@DailyNoahNews) November 5, 2022 I mean, the timing was perfect down to the fraction of a second... Just a big coincidence, I'm sure. Never forget, the Red Sea Moment we are expecting will come SUDDENLY and it will all happen in a 24 hour period. They will never see it coming and they'll be powerless to stop it. I think it will look and feel very much like what you just saw in that clip. That video got me thinking about many other moments from Hillary Clinton to Biden where flags fell, lights fell, people fell.... All symbolic. All kind of feels like the same moment happening over and over. I put them all together in this montage that you can watch on Rumble: And here they are individually... If they don't get taken down: More flags crash down around Hillary: Big moment here, flags suddenly tumble down at DNC convention. Around Hillary Clinton: It's not just the flags that fall... Here is Hillary going down: Again: And remember this bad moment? Was that the day she died? Many believe so. We have no comment. Remember this famous tumble? It's not just Hillary falling... Joe is famous too: More here: Remember this one?

Tucker Carlson Right Again! Woman Raided By 10 Officers After Calling Man Who Assaulted Her a “Faggot”

Looks like Tucker Carlson was 100% right again! In what appeared to be just a comedic segment between Tucker Carlson and Piers Morgan a few days ago where Tucker taunted Piers to say “faggot” on the air, I told you all at the time a very serious point was being made. Neither Tucker nor I have any interest in using words to offend people, but Free Speech is either Free and allowed when it comes to things you don’t like (ESPECIALLY when it comes to speech you don’t like) or it’s not Free at all. Tucker told Piers that. Tucker told Piers he wouldn’t say the word because he didn’t want to get arrested. And now it appears Tucker was 100% right yet again. In an absolutely stunning and horrific story underscoring how Free Speech is DEAD and BURIED in Britain, a British mom was just raided and arrested. Her crime? Calling the man who assaulted her a “faggot”. She reports that TEN police officers raided her house, broke into her bathroom while she was nude, and hauled her down to the police station. What shame! Britain has clearly fallen and Piers is too dumb (or too compromised) to see it. Watch here: Here is the full report of her case and prosecution: Summary of Elizabeth Kinney’s Case Personal Background & Assault Incident Name & Age: Elizabeth Kinney, 34. Location: Tranmere, Merseyside, northwest England. Family Status: Single mother of four. Occupation: Care home assistant with 16 years of healthcare experience, aspiring to train as a nurse. Assault Date: October 27, 2024. Incident: Kinney was physically assaulted by a male mutual acquaintance connected to a former friend. Injuries: Severe injuries, including a skull fracture and brain inflammation, requiring hospitalization. Police Response to Assault: Hospital staff reported the assault to the police, but no investigation or chargesfollowed against her attacker. The Text Messages & Arrest The Messages: While recovering in the hospital, Kinney sent a series of private text messages to the former female friend, venting her distress about the attack. The texts included photos of her injuries and abusive language, including calling the attacker a “faggot” as part of an emotional rant. Kinney’s Explanation: She later explained that, in her local slang, the word was used to describe a “weak person” or someone “acting out,” not as a direct attack on anyone’s sexuality, and she had no homophobic intent. The Report: The former friend reported the texts to the police as homophobic hate speech. The Arrest (The Raid): The arrest occurred shortly after, with 11 police officers raiding Kinney’s home unannounced. Kinney was naked in the bath with her young children nearby. She described feeling terrified and humiliated as officers burst in, handcuffed her in front of her crying children while she was exposed, and demanded to watch her dress before detaining her. Officers allegedly ignored her visible injuries from the recent assault and did not follow up on the hospital’s report. The Charges & Legal Proceedings The Charge: Kinney was held in custody and later charged under Section 127 of the UK’s Communications Act 2003 for malicious communications—specifically, sending via a public electronic network messages that were grossly offensive, indecent, obscene, or menacing. Prosecution Stance: The case was prosecuted as a homophobic hate crime, classifying it in the highest culpability category with moderate harm caused to the recipient through alarm and distress. Court Appearance: Sefton Magistrates’ Court in mid-November 2025. Plea: Kinney pleaded guilty on her solicitor’s advice to avoid a harsher trial outcome. Arguments: Prosecutor (Jacqueline Whiting): Argued the texts formed a targeted offensive barrage unrelated to the assault context. Defense (Simon Simmonds): Portrayed the messages as a childish, one-sided emotional unload from a victim still recovering from trauma, emphasizing Kinney’s lack of prior convictions, stable career, remorse, and the brain injury’s role in her out-of-character behavior. Magistrate’s Ruling: Magistrate JP Robert Waugh acknowledged the assault’s context but upheld the hate crime framing, applying a sentencing uplift for the homophobic element. Sentencing and Aftermath Sentence: Kinney received a 12-month community order, including: 72 hours of unpaid work. 10 days of rehabilitation activities. £364 in court costs and surcharges. Impact: The conviction has left her fearing professional repercussions in healthcare and deep emotional scars from the humiliation of the raid. Public Statement: Kinney publicly expressed regret for her words but outrage that her assault went unpunished while her private vent was criminalized, stating, “No one ever asked if I was okay. The people who attacked me were never charged.” Broader Debate: The case has ignited a national debate on free speech under UK hate crime laws, amplified by appearances on media shows, highlighting perceived police overreach in prioritizing offensive language over violent crime. Current Status (December 3, 2025): No appeals or further developments on the assault have been reported. I’m sorry, but can we all just admit that this case alone should be the end for Britain? I’m not calling for violence, but now I’m starting to see why so many countries experienced uprisings where they executed the ruling class and started over. Makes total sense now. This is absolutely barbaric behavior, completely divorced from any connection to reality. When you cannot even use a WORD in a private text message thread without having your home raided and arrested while at home in your bath, your ruling class clearly has no further valid claim on the power to rule. “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.”  — except in Britain. ORIGINAL REPORT: Tucker Carlson’s HILARIOUS Beef With Piers Morgan Over The “F-Word” Tucker Carlson had Piers Morgan on his show this week and it was a really fascinating interview. Mostly playful, you can tell these two have a long history together and while they disagree on many topics they do it in a playful, respectful way. And there was one clip in particular where all of that was on FULL display..... Tucker was pressing Piers on the extreme suppression of free speech in Britain, pointing out that people are literally going to prison for the words they said, and Piers is trying desperately to deny it is happening. Then Tucker hit him with the F-word. No, not THAT F-word, the other one. Just watch here: There is a really powerful point that is being made here and that is Free Speech is only Free Speech if words you don't like and disagree with are still allowed to be said. When they're not, like in Britain, Free Speech (and society at large) has collapsed. That's why our Founding Fathers made this the FIRST Amendment, because without it everything else crumbles. So we actually get a very profound and vitally important TRUTH in this clip, while also being absolutely hilarious. I could literally watch this on loop all day long too -- classic! I could watch this on a loop all day.pic.twitter.com/fF5I0exfF0 — I Meme Therefore I Am (@ImMeme0) November 27, 2025 Of course then people started remixing it and it just keeps getting better and better: Don’t be gay. pic.twitter.com/Y1dRquul6X — Dissident Media (@DissidentMedia) November 27, 2025 As I said, the entire interview is really good and if you want to watch it I've got it for you right here. Enjoy: Share!

Charlie Kirk’s Longtime Producer Responds To Candace Owen’s Claims That TPUSA Members Were Behind Kirk’s Assassination

TPUSA has finally responded to Candace Owen’s claims that Charlie Kirk’s “close friends” were behind his assassination. In a video posted on X, Kirk’s longtime producer Blake Neff called out Owen’s for suggesting that Kirk’s close friends within the TPUSA organization was behind his assassination. Neff later challenged Owens to debate her claims on a livestream. Raw Story reported more on Neff’s response to Candace: Officials at Turning Point USA invited MAGA influencer Candace Owens to participate in a live-streamed event debunking her conspiracy theories about the murder of the group’s founder, Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk Show producer Blake Neff read a lengthy statement on Wednesday after Owens accused Turning Point leadership of betraying their former boss. “Ever since Charlie’s murder, Candace Owens has leveled a flood of allegations against people at Turning Point USA,” Neff said. “She has suggested that Michael McCoy, Charlie’s chief of staff, knew Charlie would be murdered, was happy that he died, and stayed silent because he was told he would be the next Charlie.” “She has suggested Charlie’s security team intentionally denied him first aid after the shooting to ensure that he died,” he continued. “Candace has effectively tarred everyone here with complicity in Charlie’s death by repeatedly saying he was, quote, betrayed by, quote, everyone.” “She has said Charlie’s murder, quote, had to be approved by Charlie’s friends, and then suggested those friends might have her murdered too for, quote, knowing the truth.” Neff suggested Owens made the claims so she could “manipulate and string along an audience of people who don’t realize they are being played.” Watch the full response from Blake Neff below: New: The Charlie Kirk Show producer Blake Neff (@blakeneff) has called out the Wild Conspiracy Theories that Candace Owens has promoted against TPUSA: “My friends have had to endure harassment from people who have gotten whipped up by what Candace is saying.

She now says she has new information that confirms her suspicions. In a post on social media, Owens said that she has been given new details that “put the final pieces together for me.” “I now can say with full confidence that I believe Charlie Kirk was betrayed by the leadership of Turning Point USA and some of the very people who eulogized him on stage,” Owens said. She continued by stating that she plans to release the information she has uncovered. “Yes, I will be naming names and providing evidence for my claims,” she continued. “And I am making a personal plea to every well-meaning person who donated to this Godforsaken organization to request a refund. You were lied to. And leadership knew.” Owens did not expand on whether or not the “betrayal” of Kirk was related to his assassination, the business operations of Turning Point USA, or another facet. The comments from Candace Owens come after she had previously released text messages — which were later confirmed by Turning Point USA — that showed Kirk’s “real feelings” about Israel, as well as saying that Owens is “bigger than Ben Shapiro” and that “pisses (Shapiro) off.” Owens has continually asserted that there was a conspiracy to assassinate Charlie Kirk, questioning the official story of the events. Her conspiracy claims come as she has been involved in a lawsuit with French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, after Owens has continually asserted that the French First Lady was born a male. She recently claimed she was informed that the Macrons had paid $1.5 million for someone to assassinate her. Take a look: I received information last night that put the final pieces together for me.

BREAKING: U.S. Fighter Jet Crashes In California

This is a developing story. A U.S fighter jet reportedly crashed in San Bernardino, California. The video of the crash was captured by a resident in the area and later uploaded on X. Take a look: BREAKING: Supersonic F-16C fighter jet crashed near Trona Airport, California pic.twitter.com/eF0dvlF6WE — Insider Paper (@TheInsiderPaper) December 3, 2025 ABC 7 News reported more on the crash: Firefighters in San Bernardino County are responding to reports of a crash near China Lake that may have involved an F-16 fighter aircraft. The incident reportedly happened near Trona Airport, close to the San Bernardino/Inyo county line.

Here’s a still image of the moment the fighter jet made impact on the ground: Reports of an F-16C Fighting Falcon from the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds crashed near Trona Airport, south of Death Valley, California. The pilot reportedly ejected safely, suffered minor injuries, and was taken to a Ridgecrest hospital. pic.twitter.com/Nl9xRjcC6G — Breaking911 (@Breaking911) December 3, 2025 The Daily Mail reported on the latest update on the crash: The incident was reported around 11:09am PT (2:09pm ET) near Trona Airport, close to the San Bernardino/Inyo county line, which serves as a gateway to the park, though it is about a 105-mile drive to the park’s entrance. Reports stated the F-16C Fighting Falcon was part of the Air Force’s Air Demonstration Squadron, also known as the Thunderbirds. This group is a precision aerobatic flight team that performs at airshows to showcase American air power and recruit for the military branch. Details about the accident are limited, but reports said the pilot successfully ejected but may have suffered minor injuries. The individual is believed to have been transported to a local hospital in Ridgecrest. Footage captured of the scene showed the pilot ejecting from the falling craft and deploying the parachute, allowing him to coast away from the jet. The jet, however, crashed into the dusty landscape, exploding into a massive fireball and black smoke.
