Hi Jeff,
My name is Marjorie Keller, I moved to Utah. After years as living among the Mormon Church, they took my boys. Long story, I will say this, it was all done in secret. They told them I was evil and they had to move out of our home, so they did. It’s going on 6 years since I’ve seen them. Heart broken mom. I don’t live in Utah anymore. My companion was excommunicated from the church, but still believes in a lot of their teachings. We’re going to be in Provo on the 16th of May, 2024. Philip, the excommunicated Mormon wants to talk to you. Film it…he’s lost.
I love watching Jeff’s witnessing videos. He is an amazingly brilliant pastor and the reason I watch is to learn how to witness and what to say to the ones that come to my door. I take notes. I hope to see more youtube videos. Thank you, Jeff Durbin!
I believe, your mind is short, and, perhaps, lacks information, perhaps, prejudice. That kind of love towards Satanic pastors is just hate you and others want to share. That ministry he teaches is wrong. First, Jesus is not God almighty. Another thing, if I happen to go to anyone’s door, I will not come with Luciferian principles, talking about some religious ancestors who, in the early times, struggled very hard to bring us a good understanding of the Bible. This Luciferian way has touched everywhere. There are evangelicals, and today, they have already poisoned the Pentecostals with their satanic teachings. If I want to debate something, I will not go to people who are just standing with literature, hoping God will attract some folks. Why doesn’t that Satanic Jeff go door to door, as Jesus told us, and that he was sent by Jehovah to do? Real Christians don’t act that way, bringing their point to others, when he is so lazy, and doesn’t go out preaching. Setting cameras; it should be illegal. Right now, for you, he is the real Jesus. Good luck.
This man should be locked away forever in jail.
You should be in a mental institution.
That’s a hateful unwarranted comment!
What is your reasoning behind locking up Pastor Durbin? What crime did he commit? Having a different opinion does not make you a criminal. Breaking the law does!
I COMPLETELY agree!!
What is your opinion of right division beliefs. They states 2 Tim 2:15 means to cut the. Bible into section and that the only teachings we As gentiles should read or pay any mind to is Paul writings. My mom raised me to be a born again Christian, but now her beliefs are so different and she doesn’t even say we are to be “born again” but we are new creations-and they don’t believe in baptism or communion any longer. They no longer sing worship songs and she’s just not the same. She believes in 3 heavens now and I very confused. Do you have any advice or scriptures? Or is she right? Thanks. 🙂
Yes, Renee! None of those legations you level against your mother are valid. It seems that you are the one who doesn’t understand your Bible. Your mom says there are 3 heavens because the Bible says so–God lives in the Third Heaven according to the Bible
. And, being “born Again” is the same as becoming a “New Cration” so please go back and talk with your dear mother, for she knows what she’s talking about, and please get right with God yourself.
I would LOVE to have a WRITTEN COPY of your sermon on “cookies” Pastor Durbin!
What an incredible sermon. There is finally a sermon that speaks to the very HEART of what’s happening exponentially day by day! I advocate for life from conception until natural death, and now the push of the vaine from hell is on our children, GOD’S CHILDREN, who we vowed and witnessed at death to protect are in danger.
I NEED YOUR SERMON IN MY PORTFOLIO OF TRUTHS!
Hello. Hey, don’t get caught up with too many different man-made rules and interpretations. There are way too many!!! The 10 commandments were given to the early Jews, does that mean we should throw them away? Of course not!
Some people say that Saturday is the right day to go to church and that Sunday isn’t. You can have church every day if you want! You can also worship and sing as much to God as you want to! I’m sure He loves it!
The bottom line is, you and I are saved by the grace of what Jesus Christ did for us by dying on that cross and taking the punishment for us. Let’s show him our gratitude! Read the whole Bible daily! Worship, sing, fellowship with others, and pray as much as you can! God does not mind but adores it!
