Testimony of Book of Mormon

Dear Family,
I have prayed and received answers to the chalenge found in Moroni chapter 10.
The Book of Mormon is true, it's an inspired book wriiten by Prohpets of old. it was brought to us by Joseph Smith, and is the word of our Lord and Savior. I know this to be true by the answers given me from the Holy Ghost, and know everyone can also receive their own answers. Joseph saw Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ in the sacred grove. It's all true.
In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

I'd like to thank Cliff for this reading challenge. It has been a blessing.

Love,
Dad

Atonment and Faith and Hope

Moroni 7:41-43
We must hope that the Atonement will save us, our faith is the key. After this you must have charity. This is a great chapter.

Judging and Angels

Moroni 7:15 We are called to judge and clearly see good from evil. May we all have the blessing to judge righteously.

Angels have a ministry and are called to a purpose, and the saints can be visited by them, if you have enough faith, see; Moroni 7:29-31

Prophets are blessed

Ether 12:39 I believe Prophets have their calling and election made sure during their service, and they are able to see Jesus face to face, like Moroni did in this verse.

I would love to have that blessing.

Power Writing

See Ether 12:24 - the brother of Jared was able to write with the Lord's help, so powerfully that a person reading would be overcome. I wish I could share my thoughts so clear as to convey the storng emotions of eternity for all to chose the right and follow the Savior.

Writing can be very powerful.

Faith.

The Brother of Jared saw the finger of the Lord not because the Lord "showed" it to Jared. Jesus probably just touched the stones as he normally would, but it was because of Jared's faith that he was able to see his hand.

Ether 3:9 And the Lord said unto him: Because of thy faith thou hast seen that I shall take upon me aflesh and blood; and never has man come before me with bsuch exceeding faith as thou hast; for were it not so ye could not have seen my finger. Sawest thou more than this?

Christ therefore was not astonished but alerted of the fact that Jared was able to see him. It was then that the Savior was able to show Himself, because He knew that Jared's faith was sufficient.

I always thought the Savior showed His hand to the brother of Jared on purpose, but in actuality Jared just had sufficient faith to see.

Adamic language

Ether 1:35 the launguage of Jared his family was not confounded. I was reading a book by Truman Madsen and he states; this means the people of Jared spoke the Adamic language.

Cool, right!
