349.0. "What if Book of Mormon is TRUE?" by ONFIRE::PERM (Kevin R. Ossler) Tue May 08 1990 18:42

What if the Book of Mormon is TRUE? 

What follows from such a conclusion? What else must surely be true if the
Book of Mormon is true? 

For one thing, there can be no question that Jesus Christ is the Son of
God. No Ifs, Ands, or Buts. He isn't just a "good person," or a "great 
philosopher," He is Divine. 

For another, which has been pointed out repeatedly, Joseph Smith is a
prophet of God. 

For another, Jesus has been busy throughout history dealing with those who
would listen to His Word and obey His commandments. Not just those in the
land of Israel, but all over the world. Always. 

For another, mortality is a probationary time for man to REPENT and serve 
God; redemption comes through repentance; Mercy comes because of the 
atonement; only the truly penitent are saved.

If the Book of Mormon is true, then there is a huge number of doctrinal
statements that must also be true.

	...and if the Book is not true, then your points could still be true except that Joseph Smith may not have been a prophet.
