 The Book of Mormon
Latter-day Saints. If you ever hear someone say, 'I'm LDS', and you wonder what's LDS?! Well, I'll tell you. The LDS members go to 'The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints'. So that's why they say LDS - it's short for Latter-day Saints. If you have ever heard someone say, 'I'm Mormon' or 'They're Mormon' or whatever the circumstance might be, well... We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly and we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God. So people gave us the nickname of 'Mormons' because we also believe in the Book of Mormon to be true. Mormons, as some calls us, is the same as LDS. But remember, we do not go the the Mormon Church. We go to 'The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints'. I hope I've cleared up any confusion.

| Where do we read this? "And now, my beloved brethren, I perceive that ye ponder still in your hearts; and it grieveth me that I must speak concerning this thing. For if ye would hearken unto the Spirit which teacheth a man to pray ye would know that ye must pray; for the evil spirit teacheth not a man to pray, but teacheth him that he must not pray. But behold, I say unto you that ye must pray always, and not faint; that ye must not perform any thing unto the Lord save in the first place ye shall pray unto the Father in the name of Christ, that he will consecrate thy performance unto thee, that thy performance may be for the welfare of thy soul." | Book of Mormon Scripture Mastery
|
2 Nephi 32:8-9. The Spirit will teach us to pray we are taught here, when we feel that we do not need to pray that is the time when we need to pray the most. We are taught here that we should always have a prayer in our heart.
| Alma 32:21 reads "And now as I said concerning love--love is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have love ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true." What word has been changed in this scripture and what should it be? | Book of Mormon Scripture Mastery
|
"love" should be "faith". The scripture reads "And now as I said concerning faith--faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true." Here we learn that to have faith does not mean that we understand everything, but that we are striving for those things which are true.
| Who is teaching the people here in 3 Nephi 27:27 "And know ye that ye shall be judges of this people, according to the judgment which I shall give unto you, which shall be just. Therefore, what manner of men ought ye to be? Verily I say unto you, even as I am."?

| Where do we read "Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise. And the Lord God doth work by means to bring about his great and eternal purposes; and by very small means the Lord doth confound the wise and bringeth about the salvation of many souls."? | Book of Mormon Scripture Mastery
|
Alma 37:6-7. When Alma was teaching his son Helaman the commandments, he taught him that is doesn't always take a miracle or a huge thing for great things to occur. Often the Lord works though the small and simple ways.
| In 1 Nephi 19:23 we read "And I did read many things unto them which were written in the books of ___________; but that I might more fully persuade them to believe in the Lord their Redeemer I did read unto them that which was written by the prophet Isaiah; for I did liken all scriptures unto us, that it might be for our profit and learning." Which name is missing? | Book of Mormon Scripture Mastery

Moses. Here Nephi is telling of Christ and of His sufferings and crucifixion in an attempt to get the people to believe.
| In 2 Nephi 32:3 we read that "Angels speak by the power of the ______ ______; wherefore, they speak the words of Christ. Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do." From whom do the angels speak by? | Book of Mormon Scripture Mastery
|
Holy Ghost. Nephi teaches here that we should feast upon the words of Christ, when we follow the counsel given by Christ and the scriptures we will be doing that which we are supposed to be doing.
| Where do we read this verse about the Redeemer "And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall."? | Book of Mormon Scripture Mastery

|
that they may be humble. Here the teaching is that when men will humble themselves before the Lord then he will make them strong. A lesson is learned in that a person cannot do it all on their own; they must rely on God to give them what they need to get over it.
