I am an amateur, I get nothing for my service here. I come here only for one reason for the testimony of Jesus, and the Glory of God. The lord knows I have had no end of hassling for being a Mormon who will not knuckle under even when I have tons of posters coming at me with all manner of tactics. I testify to you that I know the Book of Mormon is true, I know Jesus lives I received this knowledge direct from God, both testimonies at the Same time, just as First John 4:1-3 promised they would if the message was of God. If you want to know as I know, then ignore all this banter here, and Put the Book of Mormon to "The Test"I am also a lay-person....and I also come here for one reason. To testify to you and others about my God...who is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Jesus died on the cross...for us all. And their is only ONE WAY to God, and that is thru His Son, Jesus. Not some man. Not some angel. Nor some prophet. But thru Jesus...and only thru Jesus can you be set free.
My Lord knows...I have been hassled for speaking TRUTH here. But I will not give up, the GOOD FIGHT. And I will testify to you right now...the book of mormon is a deception direct from Satan, who is the god of this world...and a liar and a thief. And I've rec'd this directly from God's WORD.
DU, once again I tell you I HAVE put the book of mormon to the test. And it fails.

I applaud your testimony of Jesus and concur with it.

I am sorry you believe you are entitled to tell others what they will receive when they pray about the Book for Mormon, that's just not how it works.
First John 4:1-3 is very explicit in how it says to try things out and asking others to pray for you and tell you what God had to say is just not on the short list.

I understand exactly what you are saying, and it would be a conundrum, if there were only us two and our words.
I'll take you at your word, you honestly believe God told you the Book of Mormon is not true. Take me at mine that God unquestionably told me it is true. God does not change and answers prayers, so to a lurker, one of us must be lying...
It would be a tough problem with both of us telling our stories, and people asking questions, attack and counterattack, not very Christlike.
Luckily for us, God's ways are not man's ways, he has
taught us to pray He has
promised to answer. And he has told us to
Ask him, He has Told us to
try the spirits and in that last quotation, he has told us how to know if a message is from him.
First John 4:1-3 1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Thus lurkers are not left without a way to know who is telling the truth and who is lying, if they want to know, the method is clear.
Get a Book of Mormon,
Get a bible, read
BOTH of them pray about
BOTH of them and let God tell you what is his word, if it's the Bible only Great! You now know I am a liar. If it is the Book of Mormon and the Bible, Great! you now know that Osage Orange is a liar. God will not lie to you (or both of us are deceived or liars) so you now have a way to discern truth from error, and it's Biblical!
There have been, are and probably will be many who will say "don't bother, I read it and it's a lie", fine there were, are and will be those who say it's true and clarifies so much (I am one of those).
The questions is, can you afford to believe some guy on the Internet when you could know for your self?
There will also be some who claim to testify of the Bible, and yet they will tell you not to put the promises of the Bible to work, they will tell you it's a sin of some type to ask God an honest question.
My advice to any wondering what to do is pray. Prayer will never lead you astray, ask God if you should even ask, he'll set you straight, even if I or some other poster is steering you wrong.
Go with God, may his truth distill upon your souls as the dews of heaven.
