<”my conversion came from the Holy Ghost.......I always felt the Spirit........I always felt the Spirit of the Lord when ever I read the Bible and I had also felt it very strong when reading the Book of Mormon it is the same.”>
How do you know it was God’s Spirit?.... Further Salvation is by and through Jesus Christ not by how we feel when we read the Bible or any other material.... Christians know and understand their conversion came from Jesus Christ, through and by His blood shed for them on Calvary. That He took ‘their’ sins upon himself... that they not be condemned with the world...for without the shedding of blood their is no forgiveness...nor Salvation.
Interesting that throughout your conversion story there is no mention of Jesus Christ as Savior....nor repentance or forgiveness in your conversion........rather all about how feelings were the focus....which is not the basis of belief nor faith. So how do you know you are saved? ....additionally...how would you know if you weren’t? IS your faith resting on how you feel?
Regardless you still did not answer the question.......if Mormons are forbidden or discouraged from reading other material then Mormon material...why would you want to know the source?
Your man Beck used ambiguity to fabricate an astonishing assertion regarding his preconceived beliefs from your ISM, and he was profoundly in error yet he is unable to abandon his erroneous assumptions even with strong evidence of what these actually are and their origins hundreds of years after where Beck asserted as their original time period.
How do I know this? Because I took the time to do the research and share the truth with him, only to have the truth rejected in his favoring the myth he was helping to promote. Your video is in a similar vane of rejecting facts in order to try and reinforce a myth.
