‘For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth.’ Romans 10:4
General Conference, ‘Covenant Belonging,’ October 2019 “The Book of Mormon is evidence of covenant belonging. It is the promised instrument for the gathering of God’s children prophesied as a new covenant.” — Gerrit W. Gong
Jeremiah 31:33 “But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, And write it in their hearts; And will be their God, And they shall be my people.”
The BoM is NOT the Lord’s covenant promise which means Mr. Gong’s statement is patently false. For more examples of why the BoM isn’t a fulfillment of God’s promise, see Four Bible Verses Proves Entire BoM is Fraudulent. We also listed several scriptures below showing how the BoM in no way fulfills God’s promise.
If the BoM fulfilled God’s promise, where are the teachings of temple marriage, the Mormon priesthoods, etc.?
The BoM shows a story of people who defied God by leaving Israel when He told them to stay put, and be taken into Babylonian captivity with the others. This major problem is in addition to the anachronisms, and plagiarisms. The anachronisms are certainly the nail in the BoM’s coffin.
Please, ask the Mormon in your life what they think of Mr. Gong’s talk. Without a doubt, none of the talks at the Conference are acceptable. This one, however, showed how they’ve ditched Jesus for a story proven false time and again.

Isaiah 31:1 “Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many…”
Jeremiah 29:8-9 “For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed. 9 For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD.”
Jeremiah 29:16-17 “Know that thus saith the LORD of the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and of all the people that dwelleth in this city, and of your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity; 17 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil”.
1 Nephi 2:2 “And it came to pass that the Lord commanded my father, even in a dream, that he should take his family and depart into the wilderness”.
The BOM does fulfill Biblical prophecy – that there will be false teachers!
These GC speakers act like they have been anointed by God to deliver false teachings. There is not one GA that has been truly ordained by God to do anything. These guys are the messengers of the adversary and their listening audience has no clue of what the truth is. Read John 14:6 for a definition of the truth
