We only have a third of the Book of Mormon I am sure when the next 2/3 appears that knowledge will be there for now the saints must digest what they have and do what is ask before the Father gives us more.... you should vagely remember that!

Obviously, it isn't in the Book of Mormon. It is in the Doctrine and Covenants. We don't need to wait around for the missing 2/3 of the BOM.

When "prospects" are being taught the lessons, they are implored to read the BOM, and pray whether it is true. Prospects are rarely taught the Doctrine and Covenants. I do vagely remember why...LOL

Line upon line, precept upon precept. We don't want to expose them to more knowledge than they can handle. Milk before meat. I know how the LDS answer. For some converts, they feel that they have been lied to and mislead.

andysandmikesmom may be an example of that. I have seen her support the LDS's right to call themselves Christian. I seen her posts stating that they are "good" people, family oriented and good neighbors. These things are all mostly true. She never knew that Mormons had a belief that man could progress to becoming a god in the Celestial kingdom. How do you feel about that andysandmikesmom?

But the D&C says the BoM contains "the fullness of the everlasting gospel." Therefore, whatever 2/3rds is missing, it's of secondary importance.

So, why are some of the most important LDS doctrines, if indeed they are part of the LDS gospel, not to be found in the BoM? Why are they only found in the D&C? (I thought the BoM, and not the D&C, is the fullness of the everlasting gospel)?
