.....There are so many insightful things that Brother Matthews makes note of which I am sure NT had listed once upon a time!......

....There is no other book in all this world that tells us as clearly about the mission of Jesus Christ as does the Book of Mormon.

My question to you restornu was this:

Do you believe someone removed something fromt the New Testament? And....

If so, who (or what group) removed the "plain and precious" truths.

I am glad to see all of you engaging your questions/challenges on this, an open thread.

For those who are not particularly interested in your conversation, but want an example of a respectful, open discussion - check out the last several hundred posts of this thread: Luther and Erasmus: The Controversy Concerning the Bondage of Will

Well I had ponder many of these things in the Bible as a child that had puzzled me until I found was introduced to the Book of Mormon at the age of 38 and the rest fell into place!

Opposition!

Eph 6

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

2 Cor. 4

3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.

6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
