@DustinAshWrites@LivingGodsTruth Ok how do you know the Bible to be true? How do you know then that mana rained from heaven, the sea split and Elijah rained fire on the priests of babel? How do you come to find out that any of this happened then, if not by the spirit of the lord?
@Thatbrian Faith without works is dead said Paul. You show your faith by your works (scripture reading, praying, helping others, being a good person, sharing a testimony etc.) not by sitting there and litterally not living any commandment or anything thinking your “Christian”.
@LowerLeavell lol what is this? They wouldn’t have known who John is? You realize they’ve been baptizing people even before the book of the law right? This is my point your going through this book, missing the spiritual truth that is Christ in search for nonsense.
@Thatbrian They then also covenant to follow Christ and keep his commandments? Wow sounds very Christian to me. It’s a church that actually keeps keeps Christ commandments. But most other “Christian’s” couldn’t say the same.
@Thatbrian So Muslims believe Christ is the son of god, making him through his attoning sacrifice the only way to heaven through complete faith in him. They also go to church ever week and take Christs body, and were clothing that all symbolically resembles Christ each and every day?
@WittyKitty1776@BasedMikeLee lol w litterally are only studying the Old Testament this whole year and the next year will only be the New Testament. We read the Bible
@5Solas The trinity isn’t “historic Christian faith”, The creeds will never replace the Bible and how it depicts Christ, which is more in line with the lds church’s views.
@MoonfireArt@LowerLeavell It’s funny thinking that reading something and then only relying on praying to god as being “brainwashed”. If you think praying is brain washing then you’re on the wrong side here champ.
@MoonfireArt@LowerLeavell Joseph smith was just a man, and obviously he has his flaws, he’s no better than you or me. The main message of the Book of Mormon is Christ. It’s not Joseph smiths work, and in fact has nothing to do with him, it has all to do with Christ, and is the reason I believe in him.
@MediocreMarvin@DeptMemes@LowerLeavell Their African brothers, the lord needed his own members to grow before this could happen. It was a different time, looking at them from where we’re at now is different from how things were. For their safety I’m sure this was thought out. But now they lead the church!
@MediocreMarvin@DeptMemes@LowerLeavell No because of what the climate was like at the time, they decided to withhold it (racially bigoted members at the time). Joseph smith gave black folks the priesthood. It was a matter of safety, as at that time all or most so called Christian’s and lds members were not great to….
@mutantfrog25@fancierdoves@LowerLeavell Well what’s nuts? Believing in world ending floods, splitting the sea, mana falling from heaven, Elijah raining fire from heaven, Daniel interpreting visions and dreams king nebacanezer had etc. I guess we’re all nuts then. If you believe this the Book of Mormon is not nuts.
@fancierdoves@LowerLeavell I’m sure they did, but not knowing about Bethlehem would’ve brought confusion, and mis understanding. Much similar to how the ark was never given a specific city in the bible, doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen. But we get the general area.
@fancierdoves@LowerLeavell That’s how the book begins is when lehi and nephi are commanded to leave the city of Jerusalem because it would be destroyed, during the same time frame the book of jeramiah takes place. Their records only tell them about Jerusalem because that’s where their fathers came from.
