Guys, I don't know if you can hear me from over there or not. I'm Braden though, and I'm here to tell you guys about the gospel.

00:18

Do you have a moment to talk with me? No, you can go back. Well, I'm going to go wherever there are people, and I know that you guys are

00:25

LDS because you're volunteering here. I was LDS for 19 years, and I'm here to tell you right now that the gospel that you guys are believing in is a false gospel.

00:33

I truly know that according to the Bible, okay? Articles of Faith 3 and 4 completely contradict what the gospel of Jesus Christ was.

00:41

Sir, I'm not going to cease. Christ is worthy to be preached, and I'm going to preach Him crucified, sir. Sir, the gospel message which saves.

00:51

Sir, you can ignore me, but I want you to listen to this message. Do you know the gospel?

00:58

The heart is desperately wicked, and no man can trust it. That's Jeremiah 17, 10, and 11. Jeremiah 17, 10 says,

01:06

No man can trust the heart for it is desperately wicked. And yet you just say, I know in my heart it's true.

01:12

Ma 'am, that's not how you know truth. That's not how you know truth, guys.

01:18

Sir, I beg you. I don't know how old you are, and I don't want to even try to guess, but I'm telling you right now that today is the day for you to turn and repent and believe in the gospel.

01:28

Guys, I was LDS for 19 years of my life, and I love you enough to come and tell you about Jesus Christ.

01:42

None of us here are getting paid to be here. None of us here are here to be an anti -Mormon.

01:51

We're here to be Christians telling non -Christians about Jesus Christ. We as Christians are here to tell people about the good news of Jesus, guys.

02:02

And yet your response is we're to ignore them. We're to ignore them. That's not the gospel.

02:11

Matthew chapter 28 says in verse 17 that the apostles fell down and worshipped

02:17

Jesus. And you want to know why they worshipped him? It's because God alone deserves worship, and it was God alone that received it there.

02:24

Verses 18 and on say that he has sending us to go out into the whole world and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the

02:38

Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Yet your church teaches that those three are separate gods and beings.

02:46

That's evil and wrong, guys. Sir, can you tell me what the gospel is?

02:55

I would. I'm here to talk with you. I promise. I would ask you one question. Yeah. You got your GoPro on?

03:01

Yep, absolutely. Why? It's because I've already been pushed by LDS people here, and so I do it for my own protection to be honest with you.

03:08

That's fine. I agree with that.

03:13

Nobody else wants to be harassed either. Well, and I'm not here to harass anybody. The message I bring is a message of peace and good news, sir.

03:20

They don't care for your message. So let me ask you this. So in 1

03:25

Nephi 14 verses 1 through 10, I used LDS for 19 years. It says in there that there's two churches.

03:30

One is the church of the Lamb of God, is what you're saying that you believe in. And the other church is the church of the devil and the whore of the earth, and that's every other denomination and professing creed.

03:38

According to Joseph Smith in his First Vision account in the Joseph Smith history. I used to be able to quote the whole thing to you.

03:44

I can't today, but I used to. Okay? So what you believe in, correct me if I'm wrong, that my professions and creeds, those are the same professions and creeds that Joseph Smith said were evil and wrong and corrupt.

03:55

You're saying too that are evil, wrong, and corrupt, and I'm a part of the church of the devil and the whore of the earth, and I would only hope that you, sir, and I don't know how old you are, but I would only hope that you would want to bring all your wisdom and knowledge and try to convert me to LDS belief, because that's what you believe is the church of the

04:10

Lamb of God. So likewise, likewise, me being… I don't get a chance to… No, yeah, sorry,

04:15

I was just going on with that. But yes, go ahead. It's not. It's not? But Jesus tells us that we have to go out and make disciples of all the nations.

04:25

He says we invite them. What? We invite them, and they have your choice. Absolutely. Yep. Okay?

04:30

Yep. I've chosen the route I'm taking. Yep. I've chosen the way you're at. Absolutely. We'll be held accountable for those things.

04:36

And eternity is a long time to be wrong. Am I right? You'll have to answer that one. I know that one.

04:42

Eternity is a very long time to be wrong. I haven't been there yet. Well, guess what I have? I have everlasting life right now.

04:48

So do you know what everlasting life is, sir? I have my own definition. Well, I'll give you the John 17 definition.

04:54

How about that? Eternal life is this. I'm not interested. Okay. You don't want to know what the Bible says about things?

05:00

I probably have read that Bible more than you. Well, sir, I don't care about how many times you read it. A blind man can read something and not know it, sir.

05:07

So if we don't measure up to your standards... No, no, no, no. We have to measure up to God's standard. No, no, no.

05:12

Yes. Yes, sir. There's no discussing anything with you. You just have your own version. Sir, no,

05:17

I don't have a version. I'll quote you just the Bible verses. You're the energizer for me. I'm the energizer. That's a compliment to me.

05:23

I appreciate that. Okay. If you assume that's a compliment... So Romans... I think that's awesome. That means

05:28

I got energy to take the gospel forth. That's a good thing to me. Go forth. I will go forth.

05:33

I'm right here at your doorstep right now. So Romans 3... Okay, so Romans 3 .28. Listen to me on this one verse, okay?

05:40

Romans 3 .28 says this, For the works of the law shall no flesh be justified, for we maintain that a man is justified through faith in Jesus Christ apart from works.

05:51

Your church, according to Articles of Faith 3 and 4, which I used to believe in, says that you have to have baptism and the laying on of hands to receive the

05:58

Holy Spirit, to be saved, and that you must continue on in the temple to reach ultimate exaltation.

06:04

Am I correct on that? But, sir, that's maintaining that you believe that you are justified by works, sir.

06:16

Sir, one day, I hope that you might know who Jesus Christ is, because that's all that matters, sir. You don't know him, though, sir.

06:24

You don't. That's totally fine, sir. You're telling me that I'm trying to make you appeal to my standard, but you're making me to appeal to your age standard?

06:33

You don't listen. I do listen. I'm here listening to you right now. No, you don't. So, who is Jesus Christ, then?

06:40

You already know who Jesus Christ is. I do, according to the Bible, but who's Jesus? You're asking the question that you already know the answer that you want to hear.

06:46

Because I want you to tell me who you believe Jesus is, because Jesus says in John 8, he says, Unless you believe I am, you shall die in your sins.

06:53

And that's an exclusive term he uses there. Well, you... What does that mean? You go down the path you want to go.

07:00

I'll go down the path I want to go. Okay, well, that's fair. And I'll be here telling you to turn and look to Jesus Christ.

07:05

Why are you doing that? To run to him, because there's only one way that leads to salvation. Don't harass the people. Oh, no, sir.

07:11

I'm not harassing anybody. I'm only here telling about the gospel. I'm not in the way of trying to get... Right, right, sir. I'm not in the way of the people pulling in.

07:18

But this is the sidewalk, and I can stand right here. Make sure you be courteous. Oh, absolutely, sir.

07:23

Make sure you're courteous and allow people to pass. Sir, I am nothing but courteous. Trust me on that. All right. Sir, but please,

07:29

I beg you to repent and turn and look to the gospel and the cross, sir. That's the only means of salvation. Sir, you need to repent and believe in the gospel.

07:40

Can I ask you at least what your name is? Jim Short. Jim, I'm Brayden. It was a pleasure talking with you.

07:46

Thank you very much. I know that you guys are not going to engage with me, but I just want to let you know that that breaks my heart.

08:03

Because every second, every second, guys... And you can plug your ears. That's every response

08:09

I get from an LDS person. Every second, some people are dying. Every second. I don't want you guys to die without knowing

08:16

Jesus Christ. I want you guys to know who He is and have faith in how

08:21

He's described Himself to be. And I want you to have everlasting life today. Today, I want you to know who
