I declare unto you the gospel… By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you… For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen… so we preach, and so ye believed.
Scripture
Side By Side Study
According to the promise made in 2 Nephi 3:12 we can use the Book of Mormon and Bible to confound false doctrine. These two books should be the standard to all that we believe. In the Book of Mormon Scripture Challenge Episodes I only use those two books to look at doctrine.
In this Post I will attach some side by side verses of the King James Bible with our extra biblical scriptures. I also put original versions side by side with current.
All throughout the history of the church Joseph received Revelation the first published book of these revelations was called the Book of Commandments in 1833. In 1835 a new version came out that was called the Doctrine and Covenants. as the years progressed new revelations have been added to this book. This link is a comparison between the Two Books.
The first translation Joseph started after the Book of Mormon was the Bible. Of these translations the first to come about is the Book of Moses. Most changes are small and found in the JST such as the Book of Revelations. There is also JST Matthew.
The Book of Abraham was a book inspired by papyri found and purchased by the church in 1835. These Chapters can be compared to chapters 11, 12, then 1 and 2 from Genesis as well as other verses from the Book of Mormon and Bible.
These Side By Sides came from my personal studies in 2018. I have removed my commentary from them so that it is only the verses that I placed together.
The Book of Mormon Scripture Challenge
After discovering 2 Nephi 3:12 I realized I needed to do this challenge. I then sat down and opened my scriptures and found many references to prove all things by the scriptures that confirmed for me the importance of doing this challenge. I then wrote up The Book of Mormon Scripture Challenge I have extended this challenge to friends and family. If you have watched the first three videos you will notice that I mostly follow it like a script. I hope you find this challenge invigorating and helpful on your own personal spiritual journey.
2 Nephi 3:12
Wherefore, the fruit of thy loins shall write; and the fruit of the loins of Judah shall write; and that which shall be written by the fruit of thy loins, and also that which shall be written by the fruit of the loins of Judah, shall grow together, unto the confounding of false doctrines and laying down of contentions, and establishing peace among the fruit of thy loins, and bringing them to the knowledge of their fathers in the latter days, and also to the knowledge of my covenants, saith the Lord.
