mormonism is true

Mormonism is true says the bible and book of mormmon Are we Christians? yes! We believe that Jesus Christ is the son of god and the creator. When Jesus lived on the earth he led a perfect life and taught by word and example how we should live together in love. We believe that through Christ's atonement we can be saved from our sins as we follow him. Each week at church as we partake of the sacrament we renew our promise to always remember him and keep his commandments. We love Jesus Christ. We worship Jesus Christ. He is our savior and redeemer.This is a quote from the new era from the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Did we pre exist with god? yes. Romans 8:29 says for whom he foreknow he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his son that he might be the first born among many brethren. Jude 1:6 says And the angels which kept not their first estate but left there own habitation he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgement of the great day. Revelation 12 :7 -9 says And there was war in heaven : michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not ; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the devil and satan which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth and his angels were cast out with him. The god head are three distinct persons for acts 7 :56 says And said behold I see the heavens opened and the son of man standing on the right hand of god. Joseph smith was in fact a prophet of god. let's look of what doctrines of salvation by Joseph Fielding Smith says. The gospel was to be restored as it was in primitive times, before the coming of the lord. All will admit, whether they believe in the mission of Joseph Smith or not, that at least there has been a departure from the teachings and the organization which existed in the days of the savior's ministry and the ministry of the apostles. That must be and is, conceded. You cannot find that organization anywhere in the world, and you cannot find those doctrines anywhere except as they have been given through the agency of Joseph Smith. This anchient gospel was to be declared, so john the revelator has written in the fourteenth chapter and sixth verse of revelation, by an angel, who was to fly through 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, calling on them to repent for the hour of judgment is come. Nobody else, except Joseph Smith, ever claimed that an angel did fly and did appear to him with this message, and that he was commissioned to send it forth to all the world. So with all this evidence I must conclude that Mormmonism is in fact true and that Joseph Smith was in fact a prophet of god for he did fufillanchient prophecy and he did fufill anchient scripture. He was a prophet seer and revelator. He translated anchient scripture now proven to be true by three books. They are namely The lives and travels of Mormmon and Moroni , Sacred sites and visualizing the the book of Mormmon. Therefore I must conclude that the book of Mormmon is true and if it is true then Joseph Smith is true and if he is true then the church is true and we can put our faith in the church because it is true. Now we have but to live it and we will be saved at last in the kingdom of our god and be crowned with glory and power, might and dominion and magesty and authority. This is the not end of my post but read it and live the gospel of the living god and Christ. I would now like to tell you that president Gordan b. Hinkley was also a prophet of god and he did many wonderfull things. Now back to Joseph Smith. He was a prophet of god For the scripture sayeth But who may abide the day of his coming and who shall stand when he appeareth?For he is like a refiners fire and like fullers soap: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the lord an offering in righteousness. Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the lord, as in the days of old, and as in former years. Was that fulfilled in John and in the days of Christ's ministry on the earth. Was the sacrifice of Levi pleasant before the lord? Levi and Judah rose up in rebellion against Christ and cried out against him : His blood be on us and our children. And they put him to death . He did not sit then as a refiner and purifier , in the sense in which this is meant. He did not purge Levi and Judah and make things pleasant as in former years as stated here. That indicates that that this had reference and does have reference to the dispensation of the fulness of times, when Christ comes again - and I think he has already come and fufilled that, at least very largely, for Christ did, if you please suddenly come to his temple " on the 3rd day of April, 1836, and minister to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery , and then send other messengers to confer upon them keys of priesthood of the various dispensations. As to the offering of Judah and the offering of Levi , that is yet to be fufilled , for these are yet to become pleasant unto the lord. That is a revelation that is yet to come. This was a quote from Doctrines of Salvation by Joseph Fielding Smith. Joseph Smith is and was all that he claimed to be And much much more in the sight of god and his people. Joseph Smith,prophet and seer of the lord did more,save Jesus only for the salvation of men in this world then any other man that ever lived in it. Joseph lived great and he died great in the eyes of god and his people and like most of the lords anointed in anchient times has sealed his testimony with his blood. Mobs may combine, armies may assemble, colony may defaighn but the truth of god will go forth nobly,boldly till it has penitrated every continate,swept every climeate and sounded in every ear till the great porposess of god shall be accomplished and the great Jehovah will say the work is done. This is the holy work of god on earth today and it is growing very rapidly. The church now has between 12 and 14000000 members and ? temples. I put the stupid qwestion mark there because I don't know how many temples we have but be aware that could change and so will this post. Thank you for listening and I have a lot more to cover so stay the heck with me. So what more? well, I whant to talk to you about going on a mision and what it means. No just kidding around with you but I would like to say we are the fastest growing church in the world. What else? well The priesthood of god was restored to the earth in 1829 and the church was restored in 1830. Joseph Smith recieved many wonderfull visions and revelations which are now recorded in the doctrine and covenants. The book of mormon is true and it is another testament for the lord and savior Jesus Christ. This is the true church so live it and obey the prophet. The word of wisdom says we should not take drugs and acholhol but should only be interpreted as coffee and tea. This is a true revelation recieved by Joseph Smith from the lord because of Emma Smith. Joseph Smith was an intelligent man and he prepared the way for the second coming of Jesus Christ. This is the vtruth and the full truth. This is the church of god. Live it. Obey the prophet of the lord and be happy. Be greatfull to be a mamber of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints. This is the end.
