Top Book Of Mormon Quotes

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Jeffrey R. Holland

In our own day He has said, "The whole world lieth in sin, and groaneth under darkness and under the bondage of sin." by and large the modern world has not come unto Him, has not accepted the atonement of Jesus Christ, has not received the voice of His prophets, has not made covenants or kept His commandments, has not remembered Him always or claimed the promises of exaltation in the kingdom of heaven. So He has offered us one last covenant, given us one last testament, as part of His final outreach to fallen man. He has offered us one last written witness of His love and His mercy extended for the final time, speaking dispensationally. As one Book of Mormon prophet foresaw it, God is sending laborers into the vineyard one final time, and "then cometh the season and the end." That testament and culminating witness, that "new covenant" offered to the children of men but once more, is the message of the Book of Mormon. — Jeffrey R. Holland

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Douglas Murray

At the General Assembly of the United Nations in New York in 2012, just a fortnight after the murder of the American ambassador in Benghazi, President Obama talked about the YouTube video his administration were then still saying was behind the attacks. Talking about the excerpt ofa film called Innocence of Muslims, the President of the United States said, before the world's assembly, 'The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.' He didn't say why it 'must not' belong to them any more than it 'must not' belong to the South Park creators who made The Book of Mormon or the ageing Monty Python team who made The Life of Brian. But the question was left to dangle. — Douglas Murray

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Jon Stewart

The Book of Mormon is so good it makes me f**king angry. — Jon Stewart

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Robert L. Millet

It is the author's opinion that all the scriptures, including the Book of Mormon, will remain in the realm of faith. Science will not be able to prove or disprove holy writ. However, enough plausible evidence will come forth to prevent scoffers from having a field day, but not enough to remove the requirement of faith. Believers must be patient during such unfolding.4 — Robert L. Millet

Book Of Mormon Quotes By John Andreas Widtsoe

The Gadianton Robbers from the Book of Mormon are loose among us. The King-men, and women, are running our government. And, worst of all, we are blindly electing them, or appointing them so they can continue to destroy the things we cherish most. — John Andreas Widtsoe

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Corey Taylor

I've seen everything from 'Wicked' to 'The Book Of Mormon,' and I don't make any bones of the fact that I love both. But 'Les Mis' is not only my favorite musical, but it's also my favorite story. I love the book, which I read as a kid, and I identified so much with Jean Valjean. — Corey Taylor

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Richard G. Scott

The Book of Mormon is concrete and solid, they can hold it, and they can visualize that they have to pray to decide if this physical thing is true. There is no room for interpretation. — Richard G. Scott

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Ezra Taft Benson

My young sisters, we have such hope for you. We have such great expectations for you. Don't settle for less than what the Lord wants you to be ...
Give me a young woman who loves home and family, who reads and ponders the scriptures daily, who has a burning testimony of the Book of Mormon ... Give me a young woman who is virtuous and who has maintained her personal purity, who will not settle for less than a temple marriage, and I will give you a young woman who will perform miracles for the Lord now and throughout eternity. — Ezra Taft Benson

Book Of Mormon Quotes By David A. Bednar

Regular reading of and talking about the Book of Mormon invite the power to resist temptation and to produce feelings of love within our families.

Bednar

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Christopher Hitchens

American author Mark Twain, while viewed as liberal and non-judgmental, did at times demonstrate both these characteristics. While his reasons for detesting the Christian faith are unclear, they seem to have been profound and deep-rooted. Having lambasted the founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, in a later quote he referred to the Book of Mormon as "chloroform in print." — Christopher Hitchens

Book Of Mormon Quotes By L. Lionel Kendrick

One of the marvelous blessings of the Book of Mormon is that it contains, in clarity, revelations reserved to come forth in this dispensation of time. Much of the knowledge that we have relating to the principle of moral agency is found in these modern revelations. — L. Lionel Kendrick

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Jeffrey R. Holland

The Book of Mormon is the keystone of our religion primarily because it is the most extended and definitive witness we have of the Lord Jesus Christ
of our Alpha and Omega, the Key Stone, the Chief Cornerstone of the eternal gospel. Christ is our salvation, and the Book of Mormon declares that message unequivocally to the world. In its message of faith in Christ, hope in Christ, and charity in Christ, the Book of Mormon is God's "new covenant" to his children
for the last time. — Jeffrey R. Holland

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Ezra Taft Benson

Reading the Book of Mormon is one of the greatest persuaders to get men on missions. — Ezra Taft Benson

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Ezra Taft Benson

The Book of Mormon, the record of Joseph, verifies and clarifies the Bible. It removes stumbling blocks; it restores many plain and precious things. — Ezra Taft Benson

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Josh Gad

When you're doing a show like 'The Book of Mormon,' you're completely spent by the time the show is over. — Josh Gad

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Ezra Taft Benson

Not only must we move forward in a monumental manner more copies of the Book of Mormon, but we must move boldly forward into our own lives and throughout the earth more of its marvelous messages. — Ezra Taft Benson

Book Of Mormon Quotes By John Wright

When panic sets in, my advice is to fast and read the Book of Mormon for at least a half hour. — John Wright

On the surface, 'Book of Mormon' is extremely irreverent, but underneath, there's a great sweetness and a very positive message. — Stephen Schwartz

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Richard G. Scott

Try reading the Book of Mormon because you want to, not because you have to. Discover for yourself that it is true. — Richard G. Scott

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Josh Gad

I think 'The Book of Mormon' has made that difference in its field. It changed the game. It's something that 20 years from now people will still be talking about, hopefully. That's my goal as an artist, as a creator, as a work for hire, is to choose projects that make people think, make people talk, and make people interested in having a dialogue. — Josh Gad

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Wilford Woodruff

Our children should be indoctrinated in the principles of the Gospel from their earliest childhood. They should be made familiar with the contents of the Bible, the Book of Mormon and the Book of Doctrine and Covenants. These should be their chief text books, and everything should be done to establish and promote in their hearts genuine faith in God, in His Gospel and its ordinances, and in His works. — Wilford Woodruff

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Henry B. Eyring

For us to know that the Book of Mormon is true, we must read it and make the choice found in Moroni: pray to know if it is true. When we have done that, we can testify from personal experience to our friends that they can make that choice and know the same truth. — Henry B. Eyring

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Boyd K. Packer

Perhaps no other book has been denounced so vigorously by those who have never read it as has the Book of Mormon. — Boyd K. Packer

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Clayton Christensen

As I have studied the Bible and the Book of Mormon, I have come to know through the power of the Spirit of God, that these books contain the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. — Clayton Christensen

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Arnold Friberg

It was a startling task to undertake, for the Book of Mormon had never been illustrated before, at least on any professional level. There were no precedents. — Arnold Friberg

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Josh Gad

It's funny because 'The Book of Mormon' is 'The Book of Mormon' now. When I was doing it at the very beginning, and I was a part of it for four years and always believed in it, I never really knew if it was going to be more than a convention for 'South Park' fans. — Josh Gad

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Tad R. Callister

Together with the Bible, the Book of Mormon is an indispensable witness of the doctrines of Christ and His divinity. — Tad R. Callister

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Gordon B. Hinckley

It is so important to see that we are all converted, that we have in our hearts a conviction concerning this great work. It is not a matter of the head only. It is a matter of the heart. It is being touched by the Holy Spirit until we know that this work is true, that Joseph Smith was verily a prophet of God, that God lives and that Jesus Christ lives and that they appeared to the boy Joseph Smith, that the Book of Mormon is true, that the priesthood is here with all of its gifts and blessings. — Gordon B. Hinckley

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Ezra Taft Benson

The Declaration of Independence ... is much more than a political document. It constitutes a spiritual manifesto - revelation, if you will - declaring not for this nation only, but for all nations, the source of man's rights. Nephi, a Book of Mormon prophet, foresaw over 2,300 years ago that this event would transpire. The colonies he saw would break with Great Britain and that 'the power of the Lord was with [the colonists],' that they 'were delivered by the power of God out of the hands of all other nations' (1 Nephi 13:16, 19). The Declaration of Independence was to set forth the moral justification of a rebellion against a long-recognized political tradition - the divine right of kings. At issue was the fundamental question of whether men's rights were God-given or whether these rights were to be dispensed by governments to their subjects. This document proclaimed that all men have certain inalienable rights. In other words, these rights came from God. — Ezra Taft Benson

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Joseph Smith Jr.

Seek to know God in your closets, call upon him in the fields. Follow the directions of the Book of Mormon, and pray over, and for your families, your cattle, your flocks, your herds, your corn, and all things that you possess [see Alma 34:18-27]; ask the blessing of God upon all your labors, and everything that you engage in. — Joseph Smith Jr.

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Thomas S. Monson

The Book of Mormon changes lives. — Thomas S. Monson

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Jon Krakauer

... such criticism and mockery are largely beside the point. All religious belief is a function of nonrational faith. And faith, by its very definition, tends to be impervious to to intellectual argument or academic criticism. Polls routinely indicate, moreover, that nine out of ten Americans believe in God - most of us subscribe to one brand of religion or another. Those who would assail The Book of Mormon should bear in mind that its veracity is no more dubious than the veracity of the Bible, say, or the Qur'an, or the sacred texts of most other religions. The latter texts simply enjoy the considerable advantage of having made their public debut in the shadowy recesses of the ancient past, and are thus much harder to refute. — Jon Krakauer

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Ezra Taft Benson

From the Book of Mormon, we learn how disciples of Christ live in times of war. — Ezra Taft Benson

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Henry B. Eyring

The Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ, and we learn about Him in its pages. We know that it has great power. It has the power to change lives. It has the power to convert. If you read it with an open heart, you will know that it is the word of God and that it is true. — Henry B. Eyring

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Gordon B. Hinckley

Without reservation I promise you that if each of you will observe this simple program, regardless of how many times you previously may have read the Book of Mormon, there will come into your lives and into your homes an added measure of the Spirit of the Lord, a strengthened resolution to walk in obedience to His commandments, and a stronger testimony of the living reality of the Son of God. — Gordon B. Hinckley

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Joseph B. Wirthlin

President Benson's mighty influence is felt in many ways. His timely and inspired counsel to read the precious Book of Mormon brought an added appreciation of this sacred scripture to all who followed his direction. — Joseph B. Wirthlin

Book Of Mormon Quotes By J.C. Ryle

Holy, holy, holy", seems written on every page. To talk of comparing the Bible with other "sacred books" so-called, such as the Koran, the Shasters, or the book of Mormon, is positively absurd. You might as well compare the sun with a rushlight, or Skiddaw with a mole hill, or St. Paul's with an Irish hovel, or the Portland vase with a garden pot, or the Koh-i-noor diamond with a bit of glass. — J.C. Ryle

Book Of Mormon Quotes By The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints

(the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price) was published in 1981. — The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints

Book Of Mormon Quotes By James Fenton

Hearing that the same men who brought us 'South Park' were mounting a musical to be called 'The Book of Mormon,' we were tempted to turn away, as from an inevitable massacre. — James Fenton

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Jeffrey R. Holland

Love. Healing. Help. Hope. The power of Christ to counter all troubles in all times - including the end of times. That is the safe harbor God wants for us in personal or public days of despair. That is the message with which the Book of Mormon begins, and that is the message with which it ends, calling all to 'come unto Christ, and be perfected in him' (Moroni 10:32). — Jeffrey R. Holland

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Jeffrey R. Holland

I testify that one cannot come to full faith in this latter-day work - and thereby find the fullest measure of peace and comfort in these, our times - until he or she embraces the divinity of the Book of Mormon and the Lord Jesus Christ, of whom it testifies. — Jeffrey R. Holland

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Clayton Christensen

I have continued systematically to study the Book of Mormon and Bible to understand even more deeply what God expects of me and my family while on this earth. — Clayton Christensen

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Gordon B. Hinckley

We are sometimes told that we are not a biblical church. We are a biblical church. This wonderful testament of the Old World, this great and good Holy Bible is one of our standard works. We teach from it. We bear testimony of it. We read from it. It strengthens our testimony. And we add to that this great second witness, the Book of Mormon, the testament of the New World, for as the Bible says, "In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall [all things] be established" (2 Cor. 13:1) — Gordon B. Hinckley

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Michael R. Underwood

Vampires used to be the Dracula types, but in the last ten years most of them have become weak, brooding androgynes that only go after teenagers. A friend of mine took the opportunity to rid his whole city of them after the forth Mormon Vamps book hit and the sparkle meme was at its strongest."

"So does that make Ms. Mormon Sparkle Vamp a hero?"

"Of a sort. Before they started to sparkle, there were a lot of vamps who were tortured antiheroes, thanks to Rice and Whedon."

Ree grimaced. "Do you know if she was clued in?"

Eastwood shrugged. "She's very secretive, no one in the Underground has been able to say for sure. It's all rumor. My guess is she lost someone to a vampire and decided the greatest revenge she could inflict was to turn them into a laughing stock. — Michael R. Underwood

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Jon Krakauer

Those who would assail The Book of Mormon should bear in mind that its veracity is no more dubious than the veracity of the Bible, say, or the Qur'an, or the sacred texts of most other religions. — Jon Krakauer

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Neal A. Maxwell

The Book of Mormon is to be feasted upon, not nibbled. — Neal A. Maxwell

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Ezra Taft Benson

I challenge those who are in business and other professions to see that there are copies of the Book of Mormon in their reception rooms. — Ezra Taft Benson

Book Of Mormon Quotes By James Wolcott

And what could be a hotter ticket than the improbable triumph of 'The Book of Mormon,' the musical-comedy moon shot of the season? Its creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, of Comedy Central's 'South Park,' are the most unlikely Rodgers and Hammerstein team ever to bowl a thundering strike. — James Wolcott

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Ezra Taft Benson

A missionary who is inspired by the Spirit of the Lord must be led by that Spirit to choose the proper approach to be effective. We must not forget that the Lord Himself provided the Book of Mormon as His chief witness. The Book of Mormon is still our most powerful missionary tool. Let us use it. — Ezra Taft Benson

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Ezra Taft Benson

The Book of Mormon offers so much that broadens our understandings of the doctrines of salvation. Without it, much of what is taught in other scriptures would not be nearly so plain and precious. — Ezra Taft Benson

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Jeffrey R. Holland

I want it absolutely clear when I stand before the judgement bar of God that I declared to the world, in the most straightforward language I could summon, that the Book of Mormon is true. — Jeffrey R. Holland

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Gavin Creel

I'm a huge South Park fan, loved Avenue Q and can not wait to work with Trey Parker, Matt Stone, Bobby Lopez and Casey Nicholaw. Elder Price is an amazing role and I am so excited to take The Book of Mormon across the country. — Gavin Creel

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Dave Hunt

Not one piece of evidence has ever been found to support the Book of Mormon-not a trace of the large cities it names, no ruins, no coins, no letters or documents or monuments, nothing in writing. Not even one of the rivers or mountains or any of the topography it mentions has ever been identified. — Dave Hunt

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Brigham Young

Some, in their curiosity, will say, "But you Mormons have another Bible! Do you believe in the Old and New Testaments?" I answer we do believe in the Old and New Testaments, and we have also another book, called the Book of Mormon. What are the doctrines of the Book of Mormon? The same as those of the Bible. — Brigham Young

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Boyd K. Packer

Life moves all too fast. When you feel weak, discouraged, depressed, or afraid, open the Book of Mormon and read. — Boyd K. Packer

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Hugh Nibley

Why read the Book of Mormon? Because angels do not come on trivial errands. — Hugh Nibley

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Richard Dawkins

As Mark Twain cuttingly remarked, if you removed all occurrences of the phrase 'And it came to pass', the Book of Mormon would be reduced to a pamphlet. — Richard Dawkins

Book Of Mormon Quotes By David J. Ridges

Sometimes we find ourselves thinking that since the call comes from the Lord, everything ought to work out smoothly, with every potential obstacle removed. We forget sometimes that life is a "schooling" provided for our growth and development, and that if every time we went on the Lord's errand, things were to go perfectly well because of the Lord's blessing, we would be deprived of much of our education. {re 1 Nephi 3:7} — David J. Ridges

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Hugh Nibley

Joseph Smith could not have picked a better year to start The Book of Mormon than 600 B.C. — Hugh Nibley

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Ezra Taft Benson

The Book of Mormon exposes the enemies of Christ. It confounds false doctrines and lays down contention. — Ezra Taft Benson

Book Of Mormon Quotes By The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints

But charity is the PURE LOVE OF CHRIST, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.
Moroni 7 — The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Joseph Smith Jr.

The Book of Mormon is true, just what it purports to be, and for this testimony I expect to give an account in the day of judgment. — Joseph Smith Jr.

Book Of Mormon Quotes By M. Russell Ballard

We need to let our family and our friends know this truth - God is love, and he inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him. - 2 Nephi 26:33 — M. Russell Ballard

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Spencer W. Kimball

There are two keys to productive missionary work
(1) family-to-family friendshipping (when a member family shares the gospel with a nonmember family) and (2) cooperation between members and the missionaries to reach people ... Every member knows of nonmembers he or she can refer to the missionaries. Every father, mother, and youth in this church should share the gospel by giving a Book of Mormon, telling the account of the Prophet Joseph Smith, or inviting our acquaintances to a special meeting. — Spencer W. Kimball

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Joseph Smith Jr.

The Book of Mormon is the most correct of any book on this Earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than any other book. — Joseph Smith Jr.

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Joseph B. Wirthlin

I don't know whether we Church members fully appreciate the Book of Mormon, one of our sacred scriptures, as we really should. — Joseph B. Wirthlin

Book Of Mormon Quotes By B. H. Roberts

Did Ethan Smith's View of the Hebrews furnish structural material for Joseph Smith's Book of Mormon? It has been pointed out in these pages that there are many things in the former book that might well have suggested many major things in the other.Not a few things merely, one or two, or half dozen, but many; and it is this fact of many things of similarity and the cumulative force of them that makes them so serious a menace to Joseph Smith's story of the Book of Mormon's origin — B. H. Roberts

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Adam Gopnik

A good analogy [Charlie Hebdo] in lots of ways is "South Park" - the hugely popular American cartoon show - and the things that the "South Park" creators have created, like "The Book Of Mormon," the Broadway musical. If I were a devout Mormon, I would be offended by a lot of things that go on in "The Book Of Mormon," right? It mocks mercilessly the pretensions to truth of Mormonism and the pretensions to virtue of Mormon missionaries. — Adam Gopnik

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Neil L. Andersen

Counting the ways the Book of Mormon brings peace to the soul is like counting the sand on the seashore. — Neil L. Andersen

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Ezra Taft Benson

I have a vision of the whole Church getting nearer to God by abiding by the precepts of the Book of Mormon. — Ezra Taft Benson

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Brad Wilcox

Just as a man does not really desire food until he is hungry, so he does not desire the salvation of Christ until he knows why he needs Christ. No one adequately and properly knows why he needs Christ until he understands and accepts the doctrine of the Fall and its effects upon all mankind" ("Book of Mormon," 85). — Brad Wilcox

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Ezra Taft Benson

The Book of Mormon Is the Word of God. — Ezra Taft Benson

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Hugh Nibley

The tragedy of the Book of Mormon is not what became of the Nephites but what the Nephites became. — Hugh Nibley

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Ezra Taft Benson

I have a vision of homes alerted, of classes alive, and of pulpits aflame with the spirit of Book of Mormon messages. — Ezra Taft Benson

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Mark Twain

The Book of Mormon is chloroform in print — Mark Twain

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Ed Decker

Joseph Smith often referred to himself in his "revelations" as "Enoch,"' claiming that he had been given this name by God. The Enoch of the legend was chosen to recover and preserve for mankind the sacred name of God; and Joseph Smith was allegedly chosen to recover and "restore" the everlasting gospel of God to the earth. Enoch buried the sacred record to preserve it just before a great disaster (the Flood), foreseeing that after the deluge "an Israelitish descendant would discover anew the sacred buried treasure." Enoch "placed a stone lid, or slab, over the cavity into the hill," exactly as Moroni did in the Book of Mormon when he buried his record as the only survivor of the disaster (great battle) that destroyed his entire nation. Joseph Smith, who recovered this record, claimed to be an Israelite, fitting the vision of Enoch even in this regard. — Ed Decker

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Jack L. Brody

in fact, vast passages from the King James Version of The Bible had been copied virtually verbatim and spread throughout, comprising almost one eighteenth of The Book of Mormon. Koplanski then went on to further question the veracity of Smith's claim that The Book of Mormon had been originally written in the 1st Century. He did this by pointing out that the near identical King James Version passages included within The Book of Mormon also contained the same italicized words that the KJV translators had inserted into the King James Version when it was completed in 1611, some 200 years before Smith discovered and translated the Gold Plates. — Jack L. Brody

Book Of Mormon Quotes By James E. Faust

Honesty is a principle, and we have our moral agency to determine how we will apply this principle. We have the agency to make choices, but ultimately we will be accountable for each choice we make. We may deceive others, but there is One we will never deceive. From the Book of Mormon we learn, "The keeper of the gate is the Holy One of Israel; and he employeth no servant there; and there is none other way save it be by the gate; for he cannot be deceived, for the Lord God is his name." [2 Nephi 9:41] — James E. Faust

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Neil L. Andersen

The gift of faith is a priceless spiritual endowment ... Our faith is centered in God our Father, and Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. It is bolstered by our knowledge that the fullness of the gospel has been restored to the earth; that the Book of Mormon is the word of God; and that prophets and apostles today hold the keys of the priesthood. We treasure our faith, work to strengthen our faith, pray for increased faith, and do all within our power to protect and defend our faith. — Neil L. Andersen

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Joseph Fielding Smith

They tell us the Book of Mormon states that Jesus was begotten of the Holy Ghost. I CHALLENGE THAT STATEMENT. The Book of Mormon teaches NO SUCH THING! NEITHER DOES THE BIBLE. — Joseph Fielding Smith

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Liz Stephens

On the other hand, we are not given a Book of Mormon for some time, just when Christopher had begun to feel insulted. It was analogous, he said, to going to a gay bar and not being checked out. He wasn't gay, but wasn't it nice to be asked? — Liz Stephens

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Ezra Taft Benson

The Book of Mormon contains the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ (D&C 20:9). That does not mean it contains every teaching, every doctrine ever revealed. Rather, it means that in the Book of Mormon we will find the fulness of those doctrines required for our salvation. And they are taught plainly and simply so that even children can learn the ways of salvation and exaltation. — Ezra Taft Benson

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Grant Palmer

the Mormon doctor said, "Sometimes Mr. Smith speaks as a prophet, and sometimes as a mere man. If he gave a wrong opinion respecting the book, he spoke as a mere man." I said, "Whether he spoke as a prophet or as a mere man, he has committed himself, for he has said what is not true. If he spoke as a prophet, therefore, he is a false prophet. If he spoke as a mere man, he cannot be trusted, for he spoke positively and like an oracle respecting that of which he knew nothing. — Grant Palmer

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Daniel C. Peterson

One area of the Book of Mormon that does bother some is what they see as anachronistic doctrine; that the Book of Mormon has Christian doctrine prior to the coming of Christ; that it has seemingly New Testament doctrines appearing centuries before Jesus arrives, and it seems to be representing a form of Christianity existing in the New World where there doesn't seem to be much evidence of that archaeologically. Christianity is invisible in the New World prior to the coming of Columbus, and so those things seem like clear anachronisms to people looking at it in that way. — Daniel C. Peterson

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Ezra Taft Benson

The Book of Mormon was written for us today. God is the author of the book. It is a record of a fallen people, compiled by inspired men for our blessing today. Those people never had the book. It was meant for us. — Ezra Taft Benson

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Charles Spurgeon

One of the most modern pretenders to inspiration is the Book of Mormon. I could not blame you should you laugh outright while I read aloud a page from that farrago. — Charles Spurgeon

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Richard Bushman

Early readers assumed the Book of Mormon people ranged up and down North and South America from upstate New York to Chili. A close reading of the text reveals it cannot sustain such an expansive geography. — Richard Bushman

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Ezra Taft Benson

I challenge the homes of Israel to display on their walls great quotations and scenes from the Book of Mormon. — Ezra Taft Benson

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Joseph Smith Jr.

Take away the Book of Mormon and the revelations, and where is our religion? We have none. — Joseph Smith Jr.

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Anonymous

And every nation which shall war against thee, O house of Israel, shall be turned one against another, and they shall fall into the pit which they digged to ensnare the people of the Lord. And all that fight against Zion shall be destroyed, and that great whore, who hath perverted the right ways of the Lord, yea, that great and abomniable church, shall tumble to the dust and great shall be the fall of it. — Anonymous

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Ezra Taft Benson

A young woman who knows and loves the Book of Mormon, who has read it several times, who has an abiding testimony of its truthfulness, and who applies its teachings will be able to stand against the wiles of the devil and will be a mighty tool in the hands of the Lord. — Ezra Taft Benson

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Diarmaid MacCulloch

Fawn M. Brodie, whose classic life of Smith earned her excommunication from the Mormon Church, saw the Book of Mormon as 'one of the earliest examples of frontier fiction, the first long Yankee narrative that owes nothing to English literary fashions'.105 There was quite a genre of 'lost race' novels at the time. A century on, J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings saga formed an English Catholic parallel, conscious or unconscious, to Smith's work. — Diarmaid MacCulloch

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Henry B. Eyring

You and those you love will receive the word of God by obeying it. That will allow them to feel His love. That is one of the great blessings of the gift of the Holy Ghost. When we feel that love we can know that our course in life is approved of God. That is the feast of the delicious fruit described in the Book of Mormon. — Henry B. Eyring

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Ezra Taft Benson

I have a vision of artists putting into film, drama, literature, music, and paintings great themes and great characters from the Book of Mormon. — Ezra Taft Benson

Book Of Mormon Quotes By A. J. Jacobs

I always thought the name of Utah's major newspaper was some sort of weird misspelling of the word "desert." But no, Deseret is the "land of the honeybee," according to the Book of Mormon. I guess I should have figured they would have caught a typo in the masthead after 154 years. — A. J. Jacobs

Book Of Mormon Quotes By Joseph Smith Jr.

We say that God is true; that the Constitution of the United States is true; that the Bible is true; and that the Book of Mormon is true, and that Christ is true — Joseph Smith Jr.
