Post 46n: As most of you regular viewers of this blog know, I very recently changed the title of this blog from "Have You Really Read the Book of Mormon?" to "Four Books of Scripture Testify of Jesus Christ!". In this weeks post I decided to invite you to experience what I consider to be one of the greatest examples of human beings becoming witnesses of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in all of Human History! You may shed tears at times while viewing this past post and you will surely become more sure believers that the Book of Mormon is very surely a book of holy scriptures which provide an exceedingly sure a witness of Jesus being the Christ and the very Son of God!

The Following Explains Why My Blog has been renamed: "Four Books of Scripture Testify of Jesus Christ!

JESUS THE CHRIST  -by Del Parson 

WELCOME, NEW  AND PREVIOUS VIEWERS OF THIS BLOG: In this and in every additional post of this blog you will be led on a carefully and prayerfully planned exciting and inspiring journey as you prepare by means of a guided study of the four sacred books of scripture I am shown holding above; which will assist you in becoming more righteously happy now and more fully prepared for eventual After-Mortality Eternal Endeavors on your part, along with your loved ones and countless other mortals who are seeking to qualify as our Heavenly Father's worthy children. 

Those enabling Books of Scripture were brought about through the love of the Heavenly Father of our immortal spirits which now inhabit our mortal bodies; and were a key part of the Restoration of the Gospel, and of the Church of Jesus Christ through the Prophet Joseph Smith early in the Nineteenth Century. Also intimately  involved, and surely leading out in all of this, was of course, Our Heavenly Father's Only Begotten Son who is our Lord, Savior, and Redeemer, Jesus Christ (who initially was our eldest spirit brother and is the only one of us our Heavenly Father will have ever sired into mortality). 

Jesus accomplished His infinite atonement, the Ultimate Mortal Sacrifice, along with His infallibly witnessed Resurrection. He is our Redeemer and Savior and has opened the way for each of us to learn with certainty through those four books of scripture, and through the inspired teachings of His prophets, seers and revelators of our day; that some time after our mortal deaths, thanks to His atonement and resurrection, we will each eventually experience life in our own resurrected bodies, which in the case of those who truly heeded all of the scriptural and prophetic guidance, there will be full possession of Godly capabilities!

I now invite each of you to experience one of my most favorite past blog posts in which both Nephites and Lamanites who were most often at war with one another, actually became mutual sure witnesses of our Lord Jesus Christ and set their great example before each of us who are willing to read the Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ!

Post 46l: Inasmuch as each of the Holy Scriptures used by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints testify of Jesus Christ, in this post I'm publishing on Friday, April 19th I have decided to emphasize once again the importance of the atonement brought about by our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ! One of the unique things about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is that along with the first presidency of the Church who are also ordained apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ, there is a Quorum of Twelve Apostles who under the direction of the First Presidency have a key role in leading this church! I have chosen today to feature a talk given by one of the twelve apostles, Elder Boyd K. Packer who is the president of the Quorum of the Twelve at this time because of his seniority. As a young man he was a professional seminary teacher in his home town of Brigham City, Utah and taught at the High School level. During a number of those years which came about somewhat near the time when he was called to serve in the administration of the Seminary program of the entire church and was headquartered at Brigham Young University located in Provo, Utah, He happened to be the administrator who arranged to have me personally interviewed for possibly becoming a full-time seminary teacher primarily with the American Indian students of high school age. I was hired and began teaching seminary both at the Brigham City, Utah Junior High School seminary building (which had just then been converted from a High School Seminary Building when a new Brigham City High School opened its doors across town as did the new High School Seminary Building leaving the old High School Seminary Building to becoming the Junior High School Seminary Building, in which he, Elder Boyd K. Packer personally had taught for a good number of years before becoming a Seminary and Institute administrator for the Church. (I also was assigned to teach in the Indian Seminary Program associated with the Intermountain Indian School there in Brigham City in the afternoons!) It actually became my privilege to teach in the same two class rooms where Elder Packer and his close friend and fellow teacher Elder Clarence Tuttle (who also served as a general authority of the Church along side his dear friend and close associate Elder Boyd K. Packer, actually taught. I felt like I could feel the spiritual influence of those two great men as I went about my sacred seminary teaching beginning in September of 1962.

Inasmuch as we have very recently celebrated Easter I have chosen one of my previous blog posts, 44p as my blog post for this week. In it you will view a very touching LDS Church video about the First Easter:  A remarkable job was done by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in recreating these scenes from our Savior's final mortal days, particularly in how they replicated the site they used for filming this video which is located in Utah County in the State of Utah (not very far from Salt Lake City, Utah) to appear as it would if it had been filmed in Palestine where these events originally took place.

http://varsinainen.blogspot.com/2012/04/44p-you-will-first-be-blessed-with.html

This is to let you be aware that at the end of the Easter Events video in that previous post of mine you will be told that you will be able to hear the Tabernacle Choir performing an LDS Hymn, "He is Risen." However, after you click on it you are told that because of some copyright violation that recording has been cancelled. If you have a copy of the LDS Hymn book you can find the words and the music to that hymn on page 199.

Post 46j: As planned I am publishing my new weekly post this Friday morning before 10:00 a.m. Inasmuch as Easter was celebrated this past Sunday and now all of the "Easter Egg hunting" and other non-religious typical "Easter" festivities are over I am making available to you a video produced by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints which sums up the real importance of Easter. Hopefully, most of you viewers experienced some very spiritual experiences on Easter Sunday. I trust that this video will add to those spiritual experiences you hopefully had.
