Mormon Doctrine: The Book of Mormon

http://TrueMormonDoctrine.com

The Book of Mormon is a volume of holy scripture comparable to the Bible. It is a record of God's dealings with the ancient inhabitants of the Americas and contains, as does the Bible, the fulness of the everlasting gospel.

The crowning event recorded in the Book of Mormon is the personal ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ among the Nephites soon after his resurrection. It puts forth the doctrines of the gospel outlines the plan of salvation, and tells men what they must do to gain peace in this life and eternal salvation in the life to come.

After the author, Mormon, completed his writings, he delivered the account to his son Moroni, who added a few words of his own and hid up the plates in the hill Cumorah. On September 21, 1823, the same Moroni, then a glorified, resurrected being, appreared to the Prophet Joseph Smith and instructed him relative to the ancient record and its destined translation into the English language.

We invite all people everywhere to read the Book of Mormon, to ponder in their hearts the message it contains, and then to ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if the book is true. Those who pursue this course and ask in faith will gain a testimony of its truth and divinity by the power of the Holy Ghost.

Those who gain this divine witness from the Holy Spirit will also come to know by the same power that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world, that Joseph Smith is his revelator and prophet in these last days, and that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Lord's kingdom once again established on the earth, prepratory to the second coming of the Messiah.

"The Book of Mormon is true, just what it purports to be, and for this testimony I expect to give an account in the day of judgement." (Encyclopedia, 86-87) -Joseph Smith, Jr.

"I did translate the Book of Mormon by the gift and power of God, and it is before the world; and all the powers of earth and hell cannot rob me of it." (Encyclopedia, 92) - Joseph Smith, Jr.

A religion or religious sect generally considered to be extremist or false, with its followers often living in an unconventional manner. that is a cult

there is plenty of proof that the bible is real but none for the mormons except what the mormons have made up .

Try to take an objective view to this question. To the world at the time of Christ, I suspect many non-believers would classify Christianity as a "cult." If you don't beiieve that's true, I would encourage you to read historical texts about the world's views of early Christianity.

Do you understand why then that your definition, or another man-made definition, has no importance in the eyes of God?

The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints is God's restored church and is the only true and living church on the earth today. Jesus Christ is the head of this church and He is our Saviour and Redeemer. The Book of Mormon is another testament Of Jesus Christ and ''if any man lack wisdom let him ask of God''. This i know to be true with all my heart.

he who has an ear to hear let him or her hear!

Look up the word FAITH in the dictionary.

It is defined as belief in something in spite of the absence of proof.

So please continue your debate about which religion is more logical or more plausible or more believable, but don't talk about which one has more proof, because you end up sounding badly uninformed when you do so.

Have you ever read the Book of Mormon in its entirety?

[405Cowboy]

amen to that. Mormonism is a false doctrine

[1231violin]

yeahp, that's exactly what I used to think when I was a kid... never occured to me that Our Saviour was jewish!, I thought he was EUROPEAN/american :) jewish/hebrew/arabic features are of brownish skin, big nose, bushy eyebrows, big black eyes complection....I've been in the middle east several times and that's the impression I have from them.

[lds9999]

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a restoration of the true Church that Jesus started. We believe that after the apostles were killed, priesthood authority was lost from the earth and an apostasy occurred. Through Joseph Smith, a restoration occurred.

We believe that all people who have lived, are living, or will live on the earth will have a full chance to accept the gospel of Jesus Christ.

bropoll9: If the mormon religion is the only true church, then that would make Jesus of the bible a deceiver or liar. Seems he would have given us the mormon religion from the start, rather then give us something inadequate and claim we don't need anything else. Then he makes people wait until the 1800's for Joseph Smith to write it down thus depriving almost 2000 years worth of people the "true church". There is no logic in that view, not to mention all the factual errors in the BOM. Ugh!

[bropoll9]

so not true. the mormon religion is gods only true church
