Here is a sample Christian testimony, especially worded to be comparable to the Mormon's:

"I KNOW, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that Jesus is the Christ and Savior of the world. That He died for my sins and was resurrected. I KNOW that I am saved by grace and not by works, and will inherit heaven upon that principle. I also KNOW that God hears and answers prayer. I KNOW all this not only by the feeling I have from the inner witness of the Holy Ghost,* but by the reliability of God's Word, the Bible, which declares it to be so. And, I also KNOW that because of my relationship with Christ, Jesus has changed my life and continues to bless me!"

The Book of Mormon teaches that these Israelites are the principal ancestors of modern-day Native Americans. New discoveries in DNA research currently allow scientists to test this historical claim. Thousands of Native Americans from more than 150 tribes have been tested to determine their ancestry.

Now the same DNA evidence used in courts of law can credibly speak to the validity of The Book of Mormon, which serves as the foundation of the Mormon religion. The evidence answers one basic question: Are Israelites the principal ancestors of Native Americans?

"DNA vs. The Book of Mormon" presents the evidence from DNA researchers, including Mormon scientists, who are wrestling with the DNA dilemma that now faces Mormonism.

Last argument I heard was the claim the DNA changed over the generations to no longer match current Jews in the Middle East.

well everyone has a "feeling" and what do they mean by blessed?
from todays standards of thought, most of us would'nt make the grade.

[CoreIssue]

I don't know on the blessed issue.

I guess in gaining the feeling?

[Jessie]

I meant like all religions are saying "we have a feeling" so it must be from God.
and too now many are talking in tongues, does'nt matter what you are seems they are all doing it.... :swoon:

and they think to be blessed is to get more and more on this earth.


:(

whatever happened to common sense and reason?
its darned near gone.
