Lesson 27: All Things Denote There Is a God - Scriptures and Quotes



Words of Mormon 1:5

Reading 1 - President Ezra Taft Benson wrote: "The Book of Mormon exposes the enemies of Christ. It confounds false doctrines and lays down contention. It fortifies the humble followers of Christ against the evil designs, strategies, and doctrines of the devil in our day. The type of apostates in the Book of Mormon are similar to the type we have today. God, with his infinite foreknowledge, so molded the Book of Mormon that we might see the error and know how to combat philosophical concepts of our time." (Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson)

Reading 2 – Antichrist – Bible Dictionary, page 609

Reading 3 – Elder Bruce R. McConkie wrote: "An antichrist is an opponent of Christ; he is one who is in opposition to the true gospel, the true Church, and the true plan of salvation. He is one who offers salvation to men on some other terms than those laid down by Christ. Sherem, Nehor, and Korihor were antichrists who spread their delusions among the Nephites." (Mormon Doctrine, p39)
