Elder Jeffrey Holland--PM session Sunday
Wow. That is why he is my favorite speaker and has been since he was president at BYU. Powerful testimony.

This talk in officially in my top three favorites! I love the BofM and always have. I loved his boldness and clarity and I felt fed and expanded by it. I loved his evaluation of Joseph's and Hyrum's final state of mind as they sacrificed all for this BofM and what it meant for the church and the world. And I loved his answer to all the critics.

Maybe a video of this talk ought to be posted in any and all subsequent threads started on the validity of the BoM.

Elder Holland's talk on the Divine Authenticity of the Book of Mormon was an extremely powerful message. I found myself wanting to shout AMEN!! all the way through the message. He did not leave room for doubt in anyone's mind as to his personal testimony not only of the Book of Mormon, but of the Prophet Joseph Smith as well. I have personally read the Book of Mormon 8 times in its entirety now and each time I read it my testimony grows stronger and stronger of its Divine Authenticity. This is definitely a message that I will refer back to from time to time and plan to encourage the members of the High Priest Group to keep a copy of this message available.

He is my Rock, my Lord, my Savior, the Pilot of my ship and the Captain of my soul. If He were to ask me, "Whom say ye that I am?" I would humbly reply, THOU ART THE CHRIST!

book has been examined and attacked, denied and deconstructed, like no other book in religious history, and still it stands. Failed theories about it’s origins, parroted and died. Ethan Smith, Solomon Spalding, the deranged paranoid to cunning genius. None of the PATHETIC answers have ever withstood examination because there is no other answer than the one Joseph gave as the young unlearned translator.
great stuff!

Hyrum read these words of comfort to Joseph...
37 And it came to pass that the Lord said unto me: If they have not charity it mattereth not unto thee, thou hast been faithful; wherefore, thy garments shall be made clean. And because thou hast seen thy weakness thou shalt be made strong, even unto the sitting down in the place which I have prepared in the mansions of my Father.
38 And now I, Moroni, bid farewell unto the Gentiles, yea, and also unto my brethren whom I love, until we shall meet before the judgment–seat of Christ, where all men shall know that my garments are not spotted with your blood.
(Book of Mormon | Ether 12:37 - 38)
Hyrum turned down the corner of the page from which he had read, marking it as the end of the everlasting testimony.
I hold in my hand that book. The very copy from which Hyrum read. The corner of the page turned down still visible.
