The Importance Of The Book Of Mormon. In the mission I learned something that certainly changed my view of the scriptures and especially the Book of Mormon. In the Mission I learned the importance of the Holy Spirit in the work, "if we do not have the Spirit we can not teach". By studying the scriptures we read in Romans 10:17, the Apostle Paul tells us that "faith is by hearing and hearing is by the word of God," and in the book Preach My Gospel chapter 3, in the lesson 3 in the beginning of the faith also tells us "We also increase our faith by hearing the word of God and reading the word of God" is at this time when we need to mention the importance of the Book of Mormon, but why the Book of Mormon Mormon? Joseph Smith the Prophet said: "I declared to the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of …show more content…
And Amulek teaches us in Alma 34:32 "For behold, this life is when man must prepare himself to appear before God; Yea, the day of this life is the day when a man must do his work. "And as we know in these verses we are taught that it is" today "when we must repent, then we need more and more faith for that day To day we can experience the atonement of full and day to day what we can do then without any doubt is to read the Book of Mormon, which provides us with faith, which by means of what we are told there begins to manifest the person Of Christ, it is the same book of Mormon that personally manifests to us Christ the Lord Almighty, as it says in 1 Nephi 14: 1 "And it shall come to pass, if the Gentiles hear the Lamb of God on the day when he himself Manifest to them, both in word and in power, truly and truly, to remove their stumbling blocks "is therefore the relevance of Christ, that is why the importance of the Book of Mormon teaches us Christ
Jesus was crucified on the cross and resurrected on the third day so that we may be forgiven and be a new person in Christ. When we have accepted Christ and decided to follow Him with all our hearts, minds, and souls then we must tell others of the glorious news of the Lord Jesus and how much He loves them. We cannot have close redemption and just keep it where we are comfortable and to ourselves. Instead we need to use cosmic redemption and share the word with the world so that everyone around us may to be with the Lord and us in Heaven one day. It is very important, even if you only have a chance to help one person maybe they will go and tell others and it will just cause a domino

Joseph Smith or Brigham Young's Contributions to the Mormon Movement Many settlers travelled east, but the most important religious group to travel east was the Mormons. The Mormon religion was started by a person called Joseph Smith. A Smith grew up on his farm, angles appeared telling him there was a book (written upon golden plates) on a hillside near Manchester, New York. Once dug up, the plates were published in a translated version, which contained statements of his father and brothers saying they had seen the plates. Smith started to preach his new religion.

The Mormon population holds true to their unique religious beliefs. Most Mormons are similar to those who practice Christianity, however there are some differences. Over the past two centuries that Mormonism has been founded by Joseph Smith, this faith has expanded across the United States. Even though the faith has been powerful to many believers it is becoming less frequently practiced. This religion not only practices God and Jesus as separate people but also believes that God is seen in everyone. Since, Mormons are very religious and godlike we have to be competent to these differences when working with this population. There is very little information about how to perform Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a child that is practicing
The history of the Mormon Church goes back to 1863 when its founder, Joseph Smith, II, claimed to have a vision of the angel Moroni, who appeared to him in upper New York State and instructed him to interpret ancient writings on gold plates. The Mormon doctrine states that Jesus, after His resurrection, appeared to the Native Americans. The accounts with the Native Americans were transcribed onto the gold plates according to Moroni, the messenger. One doctrine of the Mormon Church, The Pearl of Great Price, shares a lot of the private journals of founder Joseph Smith. Founder Smith recalls, "He called me by name, and said that he was a messenger...and that his name was Moroni...," (Pearl. II:33) This is one of the main cornerstones of the Mormon doctrine. The Mormon Church had its beginnings from New York and traveled to Kirtland, Ohio, then on to Spring Hill (Independence), Missouri, and finally traveled back to Nauvoo, Illinois. It was at Nauvoo where on, Jun 27, 1844, Joseph Smith, III, his brother Hyrum Smith and friend John Taylor were ambushed at the Nauvoo-Carthage Jail. In the course of events that transpired, Joseph and Hyrum w...
...f God’s glory and for those that have questioned their faith. The book urges the reader to consider the sacrifices Jesus made, his role as a messenger and mediator, and the ability of people to find salvation through the acceptance of Jesus. These are central messages that other portions of the Bible touch on but do not discuss with the same degree or urgency.
Martin Harris, one of the Three Witnesses, received a special revelation very early in 1829, at the beginning of the translation of the Book of Mormon, was something like a comfort to him, because he would cease to be a prophet's scribe. In the revelation recorded in the Doctrine and Covenants the Lord said, "The testimony of three of my servants ... will go forth with my words [to this generation]. " Yes, they will know from a surety that these things are true "So Correct at the beginning of the translation, the promise of three witnesses to the Book of Mormon was given by
