Scripture

I believe that the Bible, both the Old and the New Testaments are a gift of God, written and preserved for us by Jewish prophets in the Old World. I believe that the prophets of the Old Testament testified of the coming of Christ; that the Blood of the Lamb on the doorposts which caused the destroying angel to Passover the homes and spare the firstborn sons of the faithful was a prefiguring of the sacrifice of Christ, the Lamb of God. Likewise, the sacrifice of Isaac was in the similitude of the sacrifice of Christ and helps us to understand what was to come as well as God's love for us. (Only 2 small examples of many)

I believe that the Book of Mormon is a gift from God written and preserved for us by prophets in the New World, and that it also testifies of Jesus Christ. As Christ said, "Other sheep I have who are not of this fold." We know that Christ is the God of the entire earth and that his Atonement is in force in the entire world. Likewise he shared his message with peoples in every land.
The Book of Mormon was translated through the power of God and brings us closer to Him as we read and study His worlds.
