TODAY'S THEME
Dear Readers of this Blog post,
If you have read any of my blog posts before, you will know that I mostly focus on the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ. I don't just tell you that, I most often relate happenings recorded in that most sacred book which illustrate that it is a true religious history of an actual people who lived in ancient Central America, arriving there between 588 and 570 B.C.(who left Jerusalem in 600 B.C.).
Pictured in the painting above is an artist's perception of the ancient American prophet, Mormon who was commissioned by the Lord Jesus Christ to abridge (condense, shorten, compress) the records of his people kept by believing prophets among them who emphasized their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and prophesied of His being born in Bethlehem and living His life in Palestine and after His atonement, crucifixion and resurrection, and of his coming to the Nephite-Lamanites' land in ancient Central America to teach them His everlasting Gospel and establishing His Church among them, as he had done among the Jews (their distant relatives) in Palestine.
Also in the Book of Mormon are true prophecies of our day and time, many of which are found in both the Old and New Testaments of the Holy Bible. The Bible and the Book of Mormon are in complete harmony one with the other. There are key prophecies found in many places in both books regarding the re-establishing of Jesus Christ's Church which was founded by Him during His life on earth and continued by His apostles after He had ascended into Heaven.
After Jesus' apostles were killed by enemies of His Church or died, His authorized church no longer existed on the earth. The Apostles John and Paul, in particular prophesied of the re-establishment of the Lord's true church in our day and time.

Revelation 14: 6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
Ephesians 1: 10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

Also I strongly emphasize that the record in the Book of Mormon testifies that Jesus is the Christ, and that it does so along with that sacred book, the New Testament. They are companion scriptures, both being brought forth as true records, and I emphasize this: which if read carefully and prayerfully, with faith that they are each true records, each of us will be brought to the point where we desire to believe and live in the way our Savior Jesus Christ wants us to, in order that He can bless us with that greatest of blessings: Eternal Life.
If you have not read any of my blog posts before or it has been a long time since you have, I suggest that you scroll down to the just previous post of mine (40f) and either take the time to read it or scan through it to gain a better understanding of what the Book of Mormon is.
In a paragraph where I have emphasized in red in Post 40f you will read what was said about the Book of Mormon by a Utah "scholar" in a nation-wide (U.S.A.) PBS TV broadcast made in April 2007. You will also read my reaction to what he said. That entire post, Post 40f, provides clear and sure evidence that that which that Utah "scholar" said to the world, was clearly incorrect. I'm very convinced that critics of the Book of Mormon usually have never read the Book of Mormon. That is why I have entitled my blog:
Have You Really Read The Book of Mormon?
The main feature of Today's Blog Post is a video produced by an organization (FAIR) whose organizers agree fully with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. FAIR is not sponsored by the Church.
This video tells the very touching and very intriguing story of a young American's search for the truthfulness regarding the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and in particular, the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ.
This is a True Story!
