THE BOOK OF MORMON: ANOTHER TESTAMENT OF JESUS CHRIST

WITNESSES THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST


SACRED SCRIPTURES FROM GOD


The Book of Mormon is Holy Scripture that witnesses that Jesus is the Christ! It is an account of the Lord and His dealings with the people in ancient America. Jesus is the Savior for all the world and has told us in the New Testament that He has "other sheep" whom He will visit also and bring so that there is one Shepard and one fold. In court we see clearly that you need 2 witnesses to establish your case to make it strong. The Lord has said “In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established." (2 Corinthians 13:1) The Lord knew that in these last days people would be confused and mislead about the teachings of God. In a segment we have two points. If there was only one point we could draw lines through it an infinite number of times. God gave us the Bible and the Book of Mormon to understand more clearly His doctrine.

WHERE DID THE BOOK OF MORMON COME FROM?

The Book of Mormon is a record of people who lived in the ancient American Continent. This record started with a prophet named Lehi living in Jerusalem in about 600 B.C. Lehi and his family left Jerusalem to obey the commandments of the Lord and eventually came to the Americas. Records were kept as commanded by the Lord. It is called the Book of Mormon because of the prophet historian named Mormon who abridged the records into the Book of Mormon. A prophet named Moroni hid the record to preserve the sacred scriptures and commandments of God. When the time was right God would uncover this record into the hands of a prophet who could bring forth the record to all the world. This prophet's name was Joseph Smith. He was called to translate this ancient record. Moroni appeared to Joseph one night, and showed him where the record was hid. Joseph went to the place called the Hill Cumorah which we now know is in Palmyra New York. He translated the record with the gift and power of God. It is now known today as the Book of Mormon. It contains the fullness of the everlasting gospel of Jesus Christ, and will bring more peace, joy, and protection to your life than anything else.

HOW CAN YOU KNOW IF THIS IS TRUE?

A modern day Apostle said "Either the Book of Mormon is true, or it is false; either it came from God, or it was spawned in the infernal realms..." Moroni tells us in his last words before hiding the record what we can do to find out the truth. "And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost" (Moroni 10:4) There are feelings of The Holy Ghost listed in Galatians 5:22 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith"
You will come to know that the Book of Mormon is true and His church is restored on the earth today if you ask in faith as I did.
