elder bruce r.
mcconkie once wrote: “there are … millions of sincere and devout persons who
disbelieve, oppose, and openly fight the book of mormon. … what is it about
some words on a printed page—all of which are clean and uplifting and pertain
to historical and doctrinal matters—that arouses such violent antagonism?
“men ordinarily
do not rise up to fight the bible; they do not organize mobs and incite them to
shed the blood of others because such persons believe in the scripture of the
old world. … the violent opposition to the book of mormon is one of the great
evidences of its divinity. if it were not of god, lucifer would not overly
concern himself with it.” (a new witness for the articles of faith, salt
lake city: deseret book co., 1985, pp. 59–60, 462.)
like i needed
further proof, but this says it all. every time i hear people questioning my
beliefs, which is over and over... i just need to remember this. it's hard
because it's worth it.
