CFM Week Theme: I Speak Unto You As If Ye Were Present
CFM: Believe in Jesus Christ and lay hold upon His gospel
>JNE: "And lay hold" is the key phrase. Mormonism adds many, many, many things to "believing" which make up their "gospel" which if kept may lead to eternal exaltation.
CFM: The Book of Mormon is of great worth
>JNE: Only to those willing to suspend its verifiable truthfulness.
CFM: I can keep the commandments even when others do not
>JNE: Can you name one of the 10 Commandments that you have faithfully kept? If you say "yes" you have broken #9.
CFM: The Book of Mormon was written for our day
>JNE: Or was it written in 1830, having familiarity with whole Bible history; stories of the Americas; French; and various American church beliefs.
CFM: Jesus Christ is a God of miracles
>JNE: But he couldn't keep Joseph Smith from adultery, false prophecies, and many other things that do not describe a true prophet of God.
