Zeal Without Knowledge

To the man from Houston, I didn't really learn anything about the book from your review, all I learned was, in fact, nothing. I've read the same old anti-Saint claims that have been around for generations. And you know what, I really couldn't care less that you sat down with an "anit" book and copied some statements from it to put on your very scholarly review of a book. There is one obvious point that needs to be made: Human wisdom has never, not even once, PROVED that the Bible is true. Never. Not once. Artifacts? Yes. Theories? Yes. Speculations? Yes. Proofs? No. If the Bible were true everyone would be Christian, when in fact, the majority of the world isn't. The only reason people believe the Bible to be true is because that is "just how it is", "it's the Bible, how could it not be true", "it's been around for so long, it has to be true". I hate to tell you this, but Hindu Veda writtings are older than the Bible, and if somehow tradition and time makes something true, then obviously Christianity isn't right, because it's not the oldest on terms of written canon.The problem with people like you, is that you try to use logic, philosophy, and reasoning to try to understand the things of God. I hate to tell you this: God doesn't play vavorites. He won't enlighten a man with supreme theological wisdom from on high just because he's read a book. God only gives truth to those who seek it from Him. Any other kind of statement would be to say that God is only the God of the intelligent, and that the meek of the earth have no chance to find out eternal truth because they don't have the "book smarts". If that's who "anti-Saints" envision God to be, I want no part of that God.Now, if you cannot PROVE to me, or anyone else, that the Bible is true, why use is it to disprove yet another unproveable book? Hmmm....that defies logic, doesn't it? You see, I can't PROVE that the Book of Mormon true, if it were proveable everyone would believe it, but obviously it is not. Artifacts, yet? Speculations? Yes. Solid proofs, no. I'll admit it freely that I can't prove the Book of Mormon, and I think that it's a waste of time to defend and aruge about it to those who believe in a dead God, a God that will not enlighten the minds and spirits of His children to know truth.The only way mankind can believe in the Bible, and that is to pray about it. There is no other way. Unfortunately, most so-called Christians don't use that as a foundation of their faith, they use logic. Everyday I am thankful that my belief isn't structured in such a flimsy manner, because opinions can be swayed "to and fro". But not a solid foundation built upon the rock of Christ. I know the Bible is true because I have prayed about it. I know the Book of Mormon is true because I have prayed about it. According to the Bible, asking God is totally ligitimate, since James claims that God will not apbraid (chastise) for asking. Now, I felt the same Spirit and reassurances about the Book of Mormon that

Does the Bible Mention the Book of Mormon?

This is a very helpful resource in connecting these two ancient religious texts. Anyone who has read the Book of Mormon knows there are numerous references to the Bible within its pages. Many have often wondered if the Bible has references to the Book of Mormon and its people. Mr. Enslen shows many instances where he feels the Bible does in fact refer to the Book of Mormon and its people. It is an interesting read whether you believe in the Book of Mormon or not.
