October 29 – New Testament v. Another Testament Delivered by Angel of Light. Jeremiah 31:31 “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah.”

This prophecy in Jeremiah was fulfilled with Jesus. He announced it at the end of His ministry in Matthew 26:28 “For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.”
If Jesus announced that a new covenant was in effect, why do Mormons label the Book of Mormon as ‘Another Testament’? Does that make Jesus’ proclamation obsolete?

Galatians 1: 6-9
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
