BoM Declares It May or May Not Be True

Posted in August, Bible vs Book of Mormon, Witnessing Tip of the Day, tagged , , , on 08/19/2024| 3 Comments »

 August 19 — BoM Declares It May or May Not Be True. Matthew 8:26 “And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked.

_____

Not only does the Book of Mormon contain anachronistic problems along with its plagiarism we also see contradictions within its own text. Sometimes the Book of Mormon will tell you it’s completely trustworthy and at other times,  not so much.

I’d never thought of our Bible verse today in light of the Mormon’s faith, or the lack thereof. That was until I read Oswald Chambers devotional for August 12th. Chambers mentioned we should all rest in the Lord (how true!), and resting in Him includes doing so even during the stormy times in life.

_____

When push comes to shove, we all have a major decision in life to make. Do we instinctively fall back on our heritage and culture, in which we were raised? Or do we brave the storm by resting in Him, even if our decisions will cause the ship to overturn? Many times when we make a major change, expecting an overturned boat, we find our decision caused it to turn upright, not knowing the mess we had been in all along.

Nowhere in the Bible do we see the ambiguity we read about in the Book of Mormon! God’s word encourages study, discernment, and proving it for your life.

However, as our text today says, Jesus also expected us to trust and rest in Him. If you’re LDS, how do you trust the canon Joe Smith said was from God, when it blatantly says it isn’t always true?

Then he suffered him. 16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (more…)

Book of Joseph

Posted in January, Witnessing Tip of the Day, tagged , , on 01/19/2024| 1 Comment »

 January 19 — Book of Joseph. Testing for Truth, Part 3 “Many people refuse to use the Bible as a standard for truth. They will often claim that the Bible is not trustworthy, after all, it’s thousands of years old, and it’s probably been corrupted over the years…

If someone claims that the Bible has been corrupted, they have immediately revealed themselves to be a false teacher. Consider this, why would God give us scripture as a means to test teachers, allow that scripture to become corrupted, and then send us another teacher, with no means to test him?

If God had allowed scriptures to become corrupted, and their meanings lost, then we would cease to have any way of knowing God’s truth. For even if after this supposed corruption God were to send a prophet to restore truth, how would we know that it is indeed truth, with no test, anything this prophet says is suspect.

If God were to allow scriptures to become corrupted, that would make it impossible for us to know when He speaks to us. There simply would be no way of knowing if a person is a true prophet of God, or a false prophet teaching doctrines of demons, as any conflict with scripture can simply be excused with the accusation of corruption.” (more…)
