I Said: God is a God of truth and cannot lie. He told me what to do, what to join, what to believe. compared to him, you are... unconvincing, and I am being kind.
U Said: How do you know it was God and not a deceiving spirit?
That is easy, The Bible gives us a test too know if a spirit is from God, or Not:
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.
I received a testimony of the Truthfulness of the Book of Mormon, the coming of Jesus in the flesh by the same spirit, at the same time. That means it was from God.
It would take a further revelation from God with all the attendant proofs to change my opinion on that for IMHO, when God speaks discussion ends.
Some will say I am closed minded, I'll live with that, some will say I am not listening to them, I am, I often pray about things I read here, but God will have to tell me I am not on the path he set me on for me to try to switch paths, and I don't consider that to be a bad thing.
I wold encourage all to read the
Book Of Mormon,
Read the Bible, Pray about Both, and see if God will testify to you of his words, compare the spirit that comes from the words of Both and ask him, the Bible commands it.
God Bless everyone this Christmas season with the Gift that is best, his love and the wisdom to do that which he wants you to do. Amen.
