The Beginning

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, otherwise known as a Mormon.  I was born into this religion as both of my parents are members as well.  Depending on who you talk to, there are few or many differences between the Mormon church and other churches out there.  I, however, will not be addressing specific differences.  I just want to express the beliefs that have shaped me into the person that I am today and the reason I am so happy.

Most, if not all, insights will revolve around a verse or verses from the Book of Mormon.  This book is the keystone of our religion, and without it, the whole church would crumble.  

There will be those that do not agree with my beliefs, and there will be those that do agree. I invite all to read, ponder on what I discuss, and pray to ask God if it's true.  I know that our Heavenly Father wants us to all know the truth.  If what I share is true and you ask in faith, He will let you know. 

In the last book in the Book of Mormon, the prophet Moroni says that in this way: 

3 Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts.

4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.

 (Moroni 10:3-4)
