The Book Of Mormon Analysis

The Importance of Personal Testimonies: A person’s testimony explains why they are a Christian. Their testimony tells about Non-believers are lost but many still feel that void, and Satan usually takes advantage and deceives the mind into filling that void with sin. Sin is present in everyone’s life but with Jesus Christ as our savior we are saved and forgiven. Testimonies give encouragement; it’s a real life present day example of Gods everlasting love for us. When someone hears your testimony it helps them open up for God to work in their lives. I personally have encountered many hardships, at one point many would tell you I had all the odds stacked against me. There came a time where it seemed easier to give up and to give in to the world around me, but I clung to my savior, to the words of truth found in the Bible. When life itself seemed impossible, I kept on believing and having faith. I knew God had reason and meaning for everything. Which he did, I experienced a breakthrough that transformed my life. The breakthrough is apparent to many. I wouldn’t change a thing, because God walked with me through the valley. I don’t think I would be as appreciative as I am if it hadn’t been for all the pain. In fact I feel very blessed to personally be able to say I have experienced God and his saving grace in the way that I have. At one point people may have just overlooked or judged me but now I have the ability to relate and give hope and proof that God is in control. So that others will take that step of faith and

Content Summary This book attempt to show the common ground between Christianity and Mormonism by examining the individual areas of Scripture, God, Christ, the Trinity and Salvation. The summation of the author’s findings is that although there are great differences there is also much common ground that can be used to strengthen our relationship together and bring unity to the ecumenical community.

This past week I met a guy name Jesus Castellanos at work. I've been working there for the last year never really sat down and had a conversation with him until last week. I learn that he's a pastor. He also invited me to attend church this past Sunday, which I did and it was great. This experience made me nervous at first bet I'm glad I talk to him he's such a nice man. All he talked about was his family and god.

Shows Improvement: The more I study the Book of Mormon the more I understand that it was written for us. Sometimes I feel like the characters of the Book of Mormon are out of touch or hard to relate to, but in reality they represent every facet of modern society. They help us see the good in the world, they help us see the evil in our lives, and ultimately warn us from the swaying philosophies of the world that lead men into sin. When I read about Nephi and his brothers and the fights that they had, I think about the relationship that I have with my brothers; when I read about Sherem and Nehor, I think about the dangerous and volatile philosophies of men that justify sin and denounce the teachings of Chirst; and when I read about Ammon and the Sons of Mosiah, I think about the missionaries that have touched my life and the kind of missionary that I hope to be. Every story and every character relates to an experience of mine or an

Abstract The topic of my research paper is the Mormon religion. Particularly the original form of the religion as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. With this paper I will answer the following questions as to where did the religion started, who were/are the main leaders and places of worship for the religion, are there any divisions or sects that are associated with the religion, how has the religion changed over time, and what does the future hold for this religion? To find my answers I searched many online articles, books, and magazine articles. I found that the Mormon religion is a lot more complex than I believe many people think it is and there are many misconceptions made about the religion.

Having doubt and questioning the doctrines of the gospel is not wrong as long as we pursue the answers to those doubts and questions. A testimony will grow through the Holy Ghost as we seek the answers to our doubt. Satan tries to plant doubt in our hearts and make us question the teaching of the gospel to lead us away, and he succeeds at times. If we do not act on those doubts and questions, then he wins, and that is what could make it wrong.

Long-term memory has a limitless capacity and a lifetime duration, which proved vital to early Book of Mormon writers. Were it not for the ability to remember events that had previously occurred, we would not have the precious gift of the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon is the most correct book on the earth. However, this would not be the case if the writers were not able to remember. There would be error all throughout the book if they were not able to correctly depict the events that happened throughout the Book of Mormon.

The Book of Mormon is a funny yet emotion-filled musical. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who can take a few jokes here and there. It does poke a little fun at the Mormon faith, but that is not what the whole musical/ soundtrack is about. The creators, Robert Lopez, Trey Parker, and Matt Stone, use the Mormon faith as a jumping off point in order to propel the story forward. There is a little more to the story (like various connecting points) that are not on the soundtrack, but you can still understand the story without them. Between the catchy lyrics and winning 9 tony awards including Best Musical, the Book of Mormon is a well produced and put together

Recently I was contacted by a good friend of several years who had stopped coming to church about a year or so ago, When Jeffrey contacted me I was initially very happy to hear from him, as the conversation progressed I noticed something about him had changed. I then enquired if he had started attending church again and to my relief he said he had I asked him where he was fellowshipping he responded that he was now a member of the Jehovah Witnesses, I was stunned. Jeffrey then asked me how I was doing in my walk I told him I was fellowshipping with other Christians. He then asked if we could make a time to catch up so he could show me what he had found that had brought him to join the Jehovah Witnesses, he wanted to share this truth with

LDS church service reflection Sunday February 7, 2016 Gorge Mason University Religious studies class attended a church meeting at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) or commonly known as the Mormon church. The church meeting was broken up into three hours. The first hour was the sacrament meeting and announcements from the bishop. This hour was unique because it was the first Sunday of the month. Which is fast and testimony Sunday and members of the church fast for 24 hours to get revelation or to remember and scarifies something like eating for Jesus Christ. The second hour was Gospel principles where we talked about Joseph Smiths first vision. And lastly the third meeting males and females are separated to ether relief society
