Thank you for your thoughtful message. I apologize for the gap in episodes! It’s so nice to hear that you’re enjoying the messages. I hope to get the next ones out soon. And I hope you’re enjoying a wonderful Sabbath!

Hi Orlei! You can find much more of that content at ComeUntoChrist.org. Let me know if you have more questions!

Just go to Africa, South America, Haiti, any of the Polynesian islands and it proves that the church is NOT racist. Perhaps you're the racist one who ALWAYS looks at skin color first and foremost.

Richard Lloyd Anderson, “By the Gift and Power of God,” Ensign (September 1977), 80; Dean Jessee, “Joseph Knight’s Recollection of Early Mormon History,” BYU Studies (Autumn 1976), 17:1, 35.

The statement s by Joseph Smith, God, and scribes was that he translated the Book of Mormon by the gift and power of God. There is also mention by Joseph Smith about the Urim and Thummum as involved in the translation. 1 Samuel 28:6 in Other Translations 6 And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets. How could a farm boy even know to say Urim and thummim was used to translate the plates?. There were other witnesses that also said they saw the breastplate and the Urim and Thumum. As far as the assertion that Josep Smith did not translate from the plates. He made copies of the characters on the plates , and then translated them. Proof of this is the 114 pages that were lost. Also, Professor Anthon gave certification that the characters were true characters, and that the translation was correct. Also, how would Joseph Smith know that he would receive the gold plates by the angel Moroni on the same day the Jews were blowing the shofar, representing new word from God. No one is that smart. No one could have figured all these things out. Listen to who you want to listen to, but know Joseph Smith had to have been telling the truth, and the people against the church have to be lying. No incredible amount of coinciding knowledge needed, just some story different than what the prophet said.

Antis like you will never know or see the richness of the doctrine of Christ as taught so clearly and truthfully in the Book of Mormon. All you will be able to see are all the technicalities that wont make sense to you because you do not believe in a God who is able to pick a semi-illiterate farmboy who can barely write a coherent letter to translate one of the most eloquent ancient texts in just over 3 months. The Book of Mormon is nothing short of a miracle. And those who read it and ponder on it's doctrines are sure to become closer to Jesus Christ than they have ever before in their lives.

@@ericrussell5114 Have you read the Book of Mormon? I find it interesting that one will take a statement in the scriptures and try to prove a point. The book is Christ’s gospel just like the Bible. It fits hand in hand with the Bible like it’s companion. I’ve heard someone compare the Book of Mormon is like the wife of the Bible. The Lord had a purpose in Bringing forth this record which one may learn if they have the desire to know more.

Nice try mate. Back to HQ. The CIA got more than that come on.

You are also the brother of Satan, and of Jesus. We are co-eternal with God, intelligence can not be made or unmade. The Father has been the Father from all eternity to all eternity, Jesus has been The Son from all eternity to all eternity, same for the Holy Ghost. You, me, Satan where organized after.

So by your logic, who created Satan? Inquiring minds are listening.

@@dadweiss its funny how they don't deny Satan.

@@dadweiss The real question you should be asking: Do you know the real Jesus of the Bible who is God the Son 2nd person of the Trinity as your Lord and Savior?

@@gnlout7403 If we listen to the Prophet, we can profit! (lol) Seriously though. A good scripture is what does a man "profit" if he gains the world but then loses his soul. (I get what you are saying though) Okay God bless and interesting video.

@@williamhaddock1838 They give billions to the poor (and unlike the federal government) are solvent - and might just have means for its followers (and non alike) with rough times possibly coming ahead. (I understand the other point though) but what are other organizations doing better then them right now? So perhaps they will do even better - as they have means. Anyway food for thought :)

@@williamhaddock1838 The poor isn't the only thing the Church's money goes to. There's funding BYU, having a huge relief fund, building chapels and temples (which is extremely expensive), bishop storehouses, allowing people that dont have enough money to serve missions, allowing the apostles to actually travel across the world for church business, etc. Yes, the church has a lot of money. But the apostles don't pocket it. That's what other religions do. Ours is the only one where the apostles serve solely to serve God, not make money.

@@gnlout7403 The Book of Mormon (the First Vision, and Joseph being called a prophet the 1st prophet in this "last dispensation") are actually the "main" things of what makes it unique, special. Also its bold claim to be Christs only "true" restored church. In the Bible it even talks about when there will be a "restoration" of all things.

Hi Linda. Agency is the freedom to choose whether or not we want to obey Him, Follow His Son Jesus Christ, and receive the blessings He offers us here in this life and in eternity. God gives us that agency or freedom to choose for ourselves. He will not force us to choose Him. He lets us make that decision. Thanks for posting your question! If you’d like to learn more about it this is a great place to start: www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/gospel-topics/agency-and-accountability?lang=eng
