Are you (in that post and with your blog in general) coming from the viewpoint that the modern LDS church has, for lack of a better way to say it, fallen from grace and/or no longer has God's guidance as in the days of Joseph Smith? That the Brass Plates coming forth will re-restore that church?<br /><br />Or, are you simply stating that even though the church is still true, the members in it are just as apt to reject new revelation/scripture as the Gentiles in Joseph Smith's day rejected the Book of Mormon, mistaking it for a replacement Bible and not the supplement/second witness it really is?<br /><br />Just trying to get a feel for where you're coming from in general before I respond further.AmericanTestament.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04127465919258708936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005490685220949062.post-47437754574225959972009-12-08T20:15:09.777-06:002009-12-08T20:15:09.777-06:00I'm not entirely convinced that the Book of Mo...I'm not entirely convinced that the Book of Mormon fulfilled the prophecy of 2 Nephi 29.

One of those classes are those who refuse to hear more of God's word because they believe God does not speak anymore:<br /><br />"Yea, wo be unto him that saith: We have received, and we need no more!" (2Ne 28:27)<br /><br />Nephi then dedicates the next 22 verses, including all of chapter 29, discussing this phenomenon.<br /><br />I like the common sense approach to this by the Prophet, when he said the following:<br /><br />"We have what we have, and the Bible contains what it does contain; but to say that God never said anything more to man than is there recorded, would be saying at once that we have at last received a revelation: for it must require one to advance thus far, because it is nowhere said in that volume by the mouth of God, that He would not, after giving what is there contained, speak again; and if any man has found out for a fact that the Bible contains all that God ever revealed to man he has ascertained it by an immediate revelation, other than has been previously written by the prophets and apostles."
