April 23 — Book of the Law of God. Romans 10:17 “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

Titus 3:9 tells us there’s no need to keep going after endless genealogies that are under the law which prove to be unprofitable and done in vain.
Our inheritance is found in belonging to God who has set us free from the Law. Faith in Him comes from hearing as it says in Romans, and not our own works.

Mormon Doctrine, p. 71 “Book of the Law of God…records kept by the Church showing the names, genealogies, and faith and works of those to be remembered by the Lord in the day when eternal inheritances are bestowed upon the obedient are, taken collectively called the book of the law of God. Such records contain both the law of God and the names of those who keep that law. They are in effect a church book of remembrance. (D. & C. 85.)” – Bruce McConkie

Where do these guys come up with this stuff? Their hubris is breathtaking, seriously. The other question is ´why´? God´s Word is perfect and beautiful. BTW, Oswald Chambers said,The Christian Church should not be a secret society of specialists, but a public manifestation of believers in Jesus.
Chambers’ words are always a great reminder of how to live a faithful Christian life!
Why do the LDS do this? My best guestimate is pride. They’ve dug themselves into a bottomless pit. Sigh…
