The Book of Mormon is true. The Holy Bible is true. Combined they become irrefutable proof Jesus Christ lives. Study them both each day and be filled with light
D&C 36:4-7
The commandment for “all men” to serve a mission was issued by the Lord in 1830 (the year the church was organized). It has never been rescinded. It is so critical to an elders soul that it becomes almost impossible to repent of not going. It’s why if a young man does not serve they almost all go inactive and never return. There are exceptions that repent but they are the small minority. One reason it is so spiritually damaging is that thousands upon thousands pleaded with God to be sent in the last days to gather Israel. If a young man decides not to go - and therefore they block not only themselves but the other young man who pleaded to be sent.
Every young man should do EVERYTHING in their power to go. NOTHING is worth missing that once in a lifetime privilege to serve the Lord and their preordained mission.
Anyone who teaches otherwise does not understand what they are talking about.
@CrispyJrIII@HollandJeffreyR Come back
21And when thy people transgress, any of them, they may speedily repent and return unto thee, and find favor in thy sight, and be restored to the blessings which thou hast ordained to be poured out upon those who shall reverence thee in thy house. (D&C 109:21)
Helaman 5:12
12And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.
1 Peter 5:7
7Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Spend 1 hour a day in scripture / bible and Book of Mormon
Read and follow Isaiah 58 (whole chapter on fasting and donate the money you would have spent on food to the poor
6Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
Vs 8 the Lord will be your rearward (he will protect you where you are weak)
Vs 9 he will answer your prayers
Take one day at a time but center yourself on Christ. He will help you. I promise. He loves you brother.
@Eternal_Saints_ D&C 1:30
The Lord said it is “the only true and living church”.
I recommend using James advice and if you lack wisdom ask of God. Ask him why He says it is the only true church. He won’t even upbraid you.
@DChadwickAuthor D&C 1:30 the Lord said it is “the only true and living church”.
Perhaps @dchadwickauthor should ask God why he said that. Maybe coach God on how he should refer to the church.
17But whatsoever thing persuadeth men to do evil, and believe not in Christ, and deny him, and serve not God, then ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of the devil; for after this manner doth the devil work, for he persuadeth no man to do good, no, not one; neither do his angels; neither do they who subject themselves unto him.
Part of their stumbling block false doctrine is that you don’t need to keep the commandments. So when they read a verse like the one above from Moroni they think “Satan will persuade to “do good” bcs it “denies grace”. This bcs they don’t understand the scriptures.
Satan truly knew what he was doing when he twisted and distorted part of the Bible.
Obviously mobkiller has never read the book - just like most anti Mormons
2 Nephi 2:8
8Wherefore, how great the importance to make these things known unto the inhabitants of the earth, that they may know that there is no flesh that can dwell in the presence of God, save it be through the merits, and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah, who layeth down his life according to the flesh, and taketh it again by the power of the Spirit, that he may bring to pass the resurrection of the dead, being the first that should rise.
Excluding the priesthood.
See this 👆obviously twisting what I said is the evidence you have no argument against truth and that you don’t want the truth.
If you are right why do you have to lie to make your point?
Stick with honesty. It’s a bad look as a supposed Christian to willfully lie.
Though shalt not bare false witness but like your father the devil that is what you do
Just like they deny priesthood because they don’t have it they deny and twist temple doctrine because they don’t have or know what to do with a temple.
They don’t understand the Bible or have authority so they create a theology that excludes Gods order.
They can do what they want but for me and my house we’ll serve the true and living God.
Mark 16:15-16
Learn your Bible
Jesus commanded to go out and baptize all who would believe.
That is part of the new covenant.
You are embarrassing yourself.
15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
