Evidence of The True Church
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints doctrine on the Godhead.
We Believe in God the Father and in his son Jesus Christ and in the Holy Ghost. A of F 1:1
God the Father has a body of flesh and bone and the son also and the Holy Ghost is a personage of Spirit. D&C 130:22-23.
All three are different personages and they are not one person.
When the scriptures refer to them as one, the scriptures are talking about their
unity as a team. John 17:11, 21-23
Matthew 3:17; 17:5.
How can Jesus, in this verse, talk to himself, the son of himself, it makes
no sence. If Jesus is just a spirit then how was he showing his
resurrected self to his apostles Luke 24:36-39. Jesus was ressurrected so we all can be 1Cor 15:20-22. If we cannot be ressurrected then why would Jesus prove to the Sadduccees there is a ressurrection.Exodus 3:6,16; Matthew 22:23-33; Mark 12:18-27; Luke 20:27-38. If Jesus and the Father are one individual then why did Stephen see them standing by each other Acts 7:56.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints doctrine on the baptism for the dead.
The Baptism in behalf of the dead was practiced in the days of the early Christian Church 1 Cor 15:29
Jesus preaches to the spirits in prison by organizing the missionary force among the spirits in paradise. 1 Peter 3:18-20; 4:6; D&C 137; 138.
If
God is perfect then God is just (in other words fair) Justice demands
two things. First all the punishments must be satisfied (which Jesus
did). Second everyone given the equal opportunity to hear and accept
the Gospel of Jesus Christ and be baptized. John 3:5.
For it is required that all need to repent and be baptized in order to
enter the Celestial Kingdom. This is one reason why The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints is the true church.
Some people think that Rev 22:18-19
disproves the truthfulness of The Book of Mormon, Doctrine and
Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price. Their reason is at the end of the
bible, says, "If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add
unto him the plagues that are written in this book:." Therefore, they
think it would disprove the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day
Saints. However, that scripture actually means do not change the words
in the book of Revelations because the verse says, "the book of this
prophecy.” If it meant, do not add books to the bible, then any
scriptures after these verses Prov. 30: 6, Deut. 12: 32, and Deut. 4: 2
are also false, therefore the religions that believe in the scriptures
after these verses are also false. Therefore the Christian
religions are proving that they themselves are false. In addition,
everything those people who try to prove our religion is false, is
hoping they encounter a person who just started to believe and as of
yet do not have a strong knowledge and testimony. Luke 8:5-8, 11-15; Alma 32:26-43
Biblical Evidence of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Book of Mormon.
Ezekiel 37:15-19.
Two books will become one, the Book of Mormon by the tribe of Joseph
and the Bible by the tribe of Judah. The sticks are books because the
word stick means scroll and says “write upon it” showing it is
something that can be written on. 2 Nephi 3:12.
Ezekiel 37:20-28 says
basically two nations, the tribe of Judah and the tribe of Joseph with
their books they will become one nation with the two books becoming one in our hands. See also 2 Nephi 29
Who are these other sheep in John 10:16? They are other peoples of the house of Israel on other lands like the people in the Book of Mormon. 3 Nephi 15:17-24
Genesis 49:22-26 Joseph's seed will go over the ocean.
Psalm 85:11; Isaiah 29:4 Book of Mormon comes from the ground
Compare Isaiah 29:11-14 to JS-H 1:59-65 then JS-H 1:19
A falling away will occur Amos 8:11; 2 Thes 2:1-3
Then after a period of apostasy, the Gospel to be restored Isaiah 11:11; Amos 3:7; Matthew 24:14
Revelation 14:6.
The angel Moroni told Joseph Smith where to find the plates which contains
the everlasting gospel. The golden plates were translated into
the Book of Mormon.
Daniel 2:34-35,44-45 Mans
hands did not establish God’s Kingdom on the earth but God
established it himself, and his kingdom is rolling forth and filling
the earth.
Addition info.
The Bible gives tests to find out the truth and to determine true prophets.
1. How to determine if a prophet is of God or is a false prophet in sheep's clothing. Matthew 7:15-20; Moroni 7:5-17
Joseph Smith's fruits are The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints and the Book of Mormon. The works of The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints are all good.
The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints missionary work causes
people all over the world to repent and be baptized and live after the
manner of happiness. Therefore, we are saved by grace only after
all we can do. 2 Nephi 25:23.
Those
that are convinced of the Truthfulness of the Book of Mormon are
convinced to do good works, believe in Jesus Christ and believe in the
Bible.
2. Prophets that prophesy false prophesies will not come to pass, while the true prophet's prophesies will come to pass. Jeremiah 28:9; Deuteronomy 18:22
D&C 87.
The civil war began with the rebellion of South Carolina and southern
states fought against the northern states fighting over the whether the
black people should be freed. The freedom idea will go forth through
the
whole world.
D&C 49:25 The people of Zion will flourish in the Rockies.
3. Deut 17:6; Matt 18:16; 2 Cor 13:1; All truth will be established by two or more witnesses. God wanted Joseph to have witnesses D&C 17; 128: 20; 2 Ne. 11: 3; 27: 12-13; Ether 5: 4; as did the early christians. There
is written at the beginning of the Book of Mormon the Testimony of
Three Witnesses, The Testimony of Eight Witnesses, and the Testimony of the
Prophet Joseph Smith. These are written testimonies that these
people have seen the golden plates. These people never denied their
testimonies. Therefore, the Book of Mormon has 12 witnesses.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ has two books testifying of its truth, the Bible and the Book of Mormon.
4. The best way to finding out the truth is simply asking God Matt 7:7-11; James 1:5-6; Moroni 10:4-5.
I know the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the restored
church that existed in Jesus day. I know Jesus suffered to answer the
demands of Justice and he was resurrected after he died to break the
bands of death so we all can return to our Father in Heaven. I
know God restored his Church through his prophet Joseph Smith and
Thomas S. Monson is Gods prophet for today. I know this because
of the power of the Holy Ghost which testifies of all truth to all true
seekers of truth in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
