"The best way to obtain truth and wisdom is not to ask from books, but to go to God in prayer, and obtain divine teaching." - Joseph Smith Jr.

Contrary to the book of Mormon historically, there were no cattle, oxen, cows, sheep, swine, goats, horses, asses, or elephants in the new world prior to Columbus. (Ether 9:18-19). How can the Bible be in harmony with something false? In any case, the church presents a false version of the historical Joseph Smith, which kind of undermines the book of Mormon itself.
Try and interview Sam Shamoun on the title of your short. He will send you to the true religion that Christ taught. Just try to debate him. He is a VERY knowledgeable Christian
But could we start a trend, and if you’re in an airport, use Family Search to find “Relatives Around Me” on the 7’s (for completeness) e.g 3:07; 3:17, 3:27… I always am searching when I walk through airports or when I’m sitting at a gate - I think it would be fun to start finding each other.
"One of the arguments often used in any defense of a closed canon is the New Testament passage recorded in Revelation 22:18: “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of … this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book.” However, there is now overwhelming consensus among virtually all biblical scholars that this verse applies only to the book of Revelation, not the whole Bible. Those scholars of our day acknowledge a number of New Testament “books” that were almost certainly written after John’s revelation on the Isle of Patmos was received. Included in this category are at least the books of Jude, the three Epistles of John, and probably the entire Gospel of John itself. Perhaps there are even more than these. But there is a simpler answer as to why that passage in the final book of the current New Testament cannot apply to the whole Bible. That is because the whole Bible as we know it-one collection of texts bound in a single volume-did not exist when that verse was written. For centuries after John produced his writing, the individual books of the New Testament were in circulation singly or perhaps in combinations with a few other texts but almost never as a complete collection. Of the entire corpus of 5,366 known Greek New Testament manuscripts, only 35 contain the whole New Testament as we now know it, and 34 of those were compiled after a.d. 1000. The fact of the matter is that virtually every prophet of the Old and New Testament has added scripture to that received by his predecessors. If the Old Testament words of Moses were sufficient, as some could have mistakenly thought them to be, then why, for example, the subsequent prophecies of Isaiah or of Jeremiah, who follows him? To say nothing of Ezekiel and Daniel, of Joel, Amos, and all the rest. If one revelation to one prophet in one moment of time is sufficient for all time, what justifies these many others? What justifies them was made clear by Jehovah Himself when He said to Moses, “My works are without end, and … my words … never cease.” One Protestant scholar has inquired tellingly into the erroneous doctrine of a closed canon. He writes: “On what biblical or historical grounds has the inspiration of God been limited to the written documents that the church now calls its Bible? … If the Spirit inspired only the written documents of the first century, does that mean that the same Spirit does not speak today in the church about matters that are of significant concern?” We humbly ask those same questions." - Jeffrey R.

I think it is kind of funny how people make up these lies about the church. Like do they really think that Joseph Smith would spend most of his life making up a very complex story with complex words starting a young age? God put the words of The Book of Mormon into his mouth for him to translate. I don’t see how i could be the other way.
Lovely. Thank you to the very talented elders. I got called to be a ward missionary well officially next weekend and I have no idea what Id even being doing lol. Any help would be appreciated
When it was originally published, there were over 200 anachronisms found in the Book of Mormon. Now, scientific research and analysis have proved all but 28 to be historically, culturally, and archaeologically plausible. The Book of Mormon continues to age well. instagram.com/p/CyWpCtWxuW_/
Repent, for your faith is an abomination of Christ’s teachings. You don’t even know your own history. Stop paying for your videos to be on the top page. It’s an obvious subversion
Revelation 22: 18-19 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book

@@CalledtoShare It could be as high as 40% according to some sources, or as low as 2%. Church leaders will absolutely not disclose the numbers, which leads me to believe it is way higher than they are happy to acknowledge. The internet has not been kind to the LDS church ... Anyone can investigate on their own, and naturally many arrive at the conclusion that the Church is really just interested in your 10% tithing.
Yeah, I'd say it's somewhere in the middle of those two numbers. I think the internet has actually been amazing because while it does shake the faith of many, it also makes the faith of many unshakeable.
🕊️🌿 Interesting that Trump recently played Nessun Dorma Sum Of All Fears (Let No One Sleep), at the end of Wisconsin National Convention 1 day ago. That has deep meanings, in different ways. Including to the 5 Virgins, who are asleep. May all be well with you and your loved ones 💕
