Will reading and studying these precious books of scripture help bring you closer to our Heavenly Father and His Son the Lord Jesus Christ? Will scripture study improve your life? Give you better direction and more peace of mind? In a word, absolutely. But concerning the very root of the Chiasmus structure found within holy scripture, and how it got there…was it careful planning, deep consideration, prophet forethought or simply a skill taught in Hebrew schools and homes? My personal belief is none of the above. All things considered; the very length of some Chiasmus,’ including entire chapters and books, plus the sheer numbers of them in the scriptures compel me to believe that the true source of the Chiastic structure, plus the poetic beauty and sweetness found within the holy scriptures, originally tumbled down from the very lips of almighty God.
To find out if the Book of Mormon, and for that matter the Holy Bible, contain the true word of God, a person must first read them. Read a few pages, read a few chapters… and then pray to God our Heavenly Father. Ask Him and He will answer.
“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering…” To find out if the Book of Mormon, and for that matter the Holy Bible, contain the true word of God, a person must first read them. Read a few pages, read a few chapters… and then pray to God our Heavenly Father. Ask Him and He will answer. “And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost. And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.” Book of Mormon, Moroni Chapter 10.
