The Book of Mormon: What Would Your Life Be Like without It?

[@vickipriegan3867]

President Nelson, is a true Prophet. I received his word on gratitude, came and watched the video till the end and said Amen to all he payed about, I received a call from one of the Elders from my nearest branch, and told him this was that, I had listened to M Nelson, did not know who this man is, but enjoyed his talk on gratitude. I even confessed that I was a run away bird from the church, saying I can never get rid of LDS and wondered why they cared about me. On this day I answered their call. I guess there is something divine that I felt, and continue to study with the Elders who are do patient. I am about be baptised and need all your prayers to help me start my journey with Christ, the head of the church and endure to the end.

[@barbaraboer7969]

I love listening to Russell M, Nelson , l love knowing he is our prophet and called of God

[@tuggie68]

We thank Thee O God for a prophet. I am so thankful that Heavenly Father gives us a prophet to lead us and guide us, in the paths of righteousness ~ just as Peter, James, and John did. 😊 They all follow in the steps of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Praise God for the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ!!!!😇🙏🌞

[@bobbyboywonder12]

Prophets lead and guide us correctly except for when they don’t. I would’ve loved it if god would’ve led the early Mormon prophets to abhor the ideas of racism and segregation. I wish god would’ve made the prophets the leading light on the issue, taking a stand against the world condemning racism of any kind and in any way...instead the Mormon church and its apostles were behind the curve by quite some time regarding confirming to social change. What a bummer, those apostles had such a chance to show that they were truly lead by a god

The Spirit of God like a fire is burning. Those that have the Spirit of God in them will know the Book of Mormon is true. Those that pretend or don't have it, will not. The Spirit speaks to my soul and I know it is true, and he has spoken to my mind and heart and I cannot deny it. I love Nephi and Moroni and the other prophets and missionaries in the book. I know that Joseph Smith is a true prophet of God just like Isaiah, Noah, and Moses are/were. Russell M. Nelson is our prophet today. God has always and I mean always worked through his prophet to his church and to all the world who will listen and read his words. Because of the Book of Mormon and the Priesthood of God, we have so many more blessings in this life than we would have with out it and all people are blessed because of it.

Where there is evidence, no one speaks of faith. We do not speak of faith that two and two are four or that the earth is round. We only speak of faith when we wish to substitute emotion for evidence. - Bertrand Russell

[@jepp0711]

I would add that Jesus told us how to identify false prophets. You simply look at their fruits (works). Here are some of the fruits of Joseph Smith: 1) coerced a 14 year old into marriage, 2) married at least 34 women, 3) many of the women he married were after he sent their husbands away on missions, 4) he brought forth the Book of Abraham that does not correspond to the facsimile, 5) he fell for the Kinderhook plate trap, stating that it was a descendant of Ham through the loins of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and that he received his kingdom from the rule of heaven and earth, 6) he believed himself to be greater than Jesus stating Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it (referring to keeping a church together). I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet." 7) Smith violated a whole assortment of federal and state laws... the list is nearly endless.

[@duck.7417]

Please wake up to truth of this falsehood. They preach a different Jesus, and a different gospel. Read. The. Bible. It contradicts the doctrine of "saved after all that you can do." This doctrine puts an impossible burden on your life. Jesus died for your sins; it's true. But He died for ALL of them, being counted a worthy and righteous sacrifice before God to once and for all cover all who recieve this gift of grace by faith ALONE. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. Ephesians 2:8‭-‬9 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. Romans 11:6 For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law. Romans 3:28 This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? Galatians 3:2‭-‬3 Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, “The righteous man shall live by faith.” However, the Law is not of faith; on the contrary, “He who practices them shall live by them.” Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us-for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”- in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Galatians 3:11‭-‬14 nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified. Galatians 2:16 You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. Galatians 5:4 For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.” John 6:40 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life. John 6:47 The only way to be saved is by faith in what Christ did, not what we do!!! He said on the cross, "it is finished," and it is FINISHED!! Believe on Christ, trust in His perfect obedience and finished work, and you will be saved. He died to set you free from the burden of the Law! It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1

It's so refreshing to hear a prophet not be afraid to speak truth. After becoming the head of the church president Nelson announced that the restoration had not been completely restored as was once taught. That it was no longer necessary to be a high priest to enter the highest celestial glory, it took guts to undue revelation from 2 years earlier and reverse the LGBT decision from God . Knowing that the ban on blacks was not from God nor the once righteous practice of polygamy and polyandry is no longer required after this life to enter the highest celestial glory and become God's. In these last days, rather then doubling down on the 3 hour block etc. and all the mundane things the church once had us all doing, ( home teaching now home texting! And using the word "Mormon" is now evil). the Lord through his prophet announced that we can take it easier as we look toward the heavens in anticipation of His second coming. I love this church! It keeps us on our toes knowing God is always changing and not having to believe the same beliefs from generation to generation. My grandchildren will have a church much easier, more Christian, wealthier and not as much indoctrination as my generation or before.

[@nikkiandreasen6123]

Isnt it interesting that when comparing the value of this additional witness and knowledge of Jesus Christ, the King would use the worldly value of "rubies and diamonds". Did you know that under cross-polarized light (the closest thing we have to "pure light", diamond's and rubies, both, loose their brilliance and appear black? I came across this phenomenon while studying Revelation 21. Aparently “In the past century, it has been discovered that gems can be classified as either anisotropic or isotropic… When viewed in crossed-polarized light (similar to “pure” light), anisotropic stones produce a colourful array- reflecting all the colours of the rainbow, whereas isotropic stones lose all of their colour and appear black”. This makes Revelation 4:3 and Revelation 21 make more sense and why God would choose stones that would produce this affect to adorn His Holy City. I find it fascinating that the stones that this world considers most valuable, (diamonds & rubies) become worthless in "pure light". The riches of the world simply cannot compare to the riches of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and this additional witness of Christ we have in the Book of Mormon.

As A Mormon, I have been taught that we will receive more Scriptures. Since then, I have discovered the True Book of Enoch, Jasher and Jubilees, 2nd Esdras, The War Scrolls and even a few treasure in the Nag Hammani Scriptures. So to answer the question, what would I be like if not for the Book of Mormon, I would be just fine, the 66 books in the Bible are the corner stone of Scripture. I don't understand why Mormons of all people rejected all of these Scriptures, that were good enough for Prophets to quote from, even Christ mentioned and quoted from these Scriptures that the Roman Catholic Empire has occulted(hidden) I have discovered that Mormonism and the Occult World has more in common than with the early Christians. I know that this was is not something anyone wants to hear, but Brothers and Sisters, the Leadership has Aposticized, Joseph Smith Jr wouldn't even recognize the Church of today, and all Prophets who came before 1915, would all agree with Joseph. "To those whom exalt themselves shall be made humble and those who are humble will be exalted" "Take care that no man deceives you" I say no praise to the Man, all Glory and Praises be unto God Almighty and His Son Messiah Jesus, Yashua. May you find your way out of the world and into the Spirit of Truth. When Dallin Oaks said that"It's never ok to criticize the Leadership of the Church, even if that criticism is well deserved" and the saying that"a live prophet trumps a dead one" this make little sense and has the put living men above all others, making God's Laws of little to no effect.

This is the Jesus of the bible... Isaiah 42:8 48:11-12 {God will never give his glory to another} I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, and I will not give my glory unto another. I am he; I am the first, I also am the Last. Revelation 1: 8 (He is the first and the last the beginning and the end the Alpha and Omega) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was and which is to come, the Almighty. Revelation 21:5-7 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, it is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. Philippians 2:5-7 {of what did he empty himself} Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation (emptied), and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of man: {The Greek reads as follows} Who in form of God subsisting not rapinesteemed it to be equal with god; John 14:28 {Jesus in human form occupies a lower position then the Father} "You heard that I said to you, ‘I go away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I.'" Hebrews 2:9 {Jesus Humbled himself while walking among us} But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone Galatians 4:4 {Jesus set aside his divine nature to be born as a human} But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, John 5:30 “I can do nothing on my own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will, but the will of Him who sent me.” Colossians 2:9 {Yet he was still GOD} For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, John 17:5 {God gives Jesus his glory back} {of his right to exercise his deity} And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. Matthew 28:18 {which he takes up after the resurrection} And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, all power {authority} is given (surrendered) unto me in heaven and in earth. Revelation 1: 11-14, 22:13, 16 {Jesus is GOD} Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: … And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;… And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end the first and the last… >> have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. Revelation 1:17-18 {the Holy Spirit thru John states Jesus is the First and the Last?} And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, fear not; I am the first and last: I am he that liveth, and was…………….. Dead, and, behold, I am alive for evermore, A-men; and have the keys of hell and of death John 1:1, 2,3,14 {The Holy Spirit states is Jesus God} In [the] beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the Word .

Isaiah 7:14 {The Holy Spirit thru the prophet calls Jesus God} Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. …..When did the First and the Last (GOD), the Beginning and the End (GOD), the Alpha and Omega (GOD) taste death? Matthew 26:53 (Jesus was obedient to what was prophesied) Are you not aware that I can call on My Father, and He will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels? But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”… Daniel 7:13-14, (The Holy Spirit thru Daniel, decree’s that all shall worship Jesus) In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days (the Father) and was led into his presence. He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him.

Jeremiah 17:9 "The heart is more deceitful than all things and desperately wicked; who can understand it?"

Search for the truth because the truth will set you free. I have received many more blessings and peace since I came to know Christ after leaving Mormonism.

[@bobbyboywonder12]

This is a perfect example here in Russell's talk about people believing in things without good reason. So Nielsen reads him passage out of some book he's never heard of and he goes on to just entirely believe it? This isn't the proper way to believe things for good reasons. Shouldn't he first examine the book, study out what this book is, read about it's history, looks at the evidences or lack of evidences for this book, examine who wrote it, how it came about, etc...Doing these steps is the proper way to be a healthy skeptic. Doing this helps prevent us from believing in untrue things like snake oils, and tricksters, and con artists, or even another religion that isn't true like Scientology right? This man is read a scripture and he just BELIEVES. This is unreasonable to me.

Windy with a chance of Sunshine everybody can make bald assertions. Can you demonstrate your claims? Praying to know the BOM is true is exactly the counsel the Mormon church invites people to do. Your statement is in direct conflict with the very church your promoting.

[@jepp0711]

Let’s use a little LDS doctrine here…. D&C 1:38 “whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same.” So as a true believing Mormon, you have to believe that if the president of the LDS church says something, God himself said it. There is no way that you can say “well, he was just speaking for himself.” That is not what D&C 1:38 says. It is the same. J. Reuben Clark said, “[i]f we have the truth, [it] cannot be harmed by investigation. If we have not the truth, it ought to be harmed.” Gordon B. Hinkley added, “[e]ach of us has to face the matter - either the Church is true, or it is a fraud. There is no middle ground. It is the church and kingdom of God, or it is nothing.”Brigham Young said, “Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so. The nations of the earth have transgressed every law that God has given, they have changed the ordinances and broken every covenant made with the fathers, and they are like a hungry man that dreameth that he eateth, and he awaketh and behold he is empty.” Journal of Discourses 10:110. He added that this was a "true eternal principle the Lord Almighty has ordained."[True believing Mormons must accept Brigham Young was speaking in behalf of God. But who really believes this? Why would the true God who created all humans, have feelings about one race (which we inherit from the DNA of our ancestors) over another. This alone proves Brigham Young to be a false prophet, and thereby all of Mormonism. More recently, Pres. Nelson reversed a decision to ban kids from LGBTQ relationships from all church ordinances, which he initially stated was revelation. So why, three years later, would he again say it was revelation to undo what he helped create? Again evidence that Mormon prophets are not guided and directed by God and are thereby false prophets. Therefore, the only logical conclusion that one can make is that the entire LDS Church is a fraud, as explained by multiple LDS leaders.
