The BOOK of MORMON -
the
'Bible's Best Friend'

 

 

"...in the mouth of two or three witnesses
every word may be established."
Matthew 18:16

"...and they shall become one in thine hand...
...and they shall be one in mine hand."
Ezekiel 37:17, 19

 

The Title Page of the Book of Mormon states the following missions for this volume of scripture:

1 - "...to show unto the remnant of the House of Israel what great things the Lord hath done for their fathers; and that they may know the covenants of the Lord, that they are not cast off forever", and –

 

2 - And also to the convincing of the Jew and Gentile that JESUS is the CHRIST, the ETERNAL GOD, manifesting himself unto all nations..."

The purpose of this scripture study is to show how the Book of Mormon testifies of, builds upon & amplifies, and gives a true, focused perspective to the teachings in the Holy Bible, so it's only from that perspective that I'll cover each of these topics in this study. For a more-complete view of Book of Mormon teachings one needs to actually read it and not depend on something like this scripture study.

 

This is a work in progress; It will continue to grow each time I read the Book of Mormon.
Also, I will be reformatting things, so next time you come around it may look a little different.

 

To best follow along with this scripture study (I haven't included all scripture passages!) you need your own copy of the Book of Mormon. It would also be helpful to have a copy of the Holy Bible.
You can obtain a free copy of both by calling, in the United States -

Free King James Edition of the Holy Bible:   1-888-537-1212
Free Book of Mormon:   1-888-537-2200

Or, you can go to THIS SITE and click on FREE MEDIA to order both books by country and by language.
(Some countries do not allow the church to ship these materials across their borders.)

They will ask if you'd like a representative of the church to deliver it - you will get a copy whether you say 'yes' or 'no'.

 

Some of you may be hesitant to ask for a Book of Mormon as you've been told horrible things about it!
May I only say that -

 

"Only if you are unafraid of truth can you find it.
But it leads to limitless opportunies with your loved ones with you -
always and forever."
