Elder David A. Bednar shared his testimony of Joseph Smith and the Restoration of Christ’s Church as he spoke to young adults in Logan, Utah, on Sunday, Jan. 11. A standing-room only audience at the annual Joseph Smith Memorial Devotional in the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum on the campus of Utah State University was remarkably quiet, compared to the noise typically heard there for Aggie basketball games and other events. As a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, Elder Bednar testified of the truthfulness of the work done by the Prophet Joseph Smith and the faith in the Savior that he demonstrated in following heavenly instruction that led to the organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

In the quiet countryside of upstate New York stands a place of protection, divine preparation, and revelation. It was here that Joseph Smith first obtained the record which we now know and love as The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ.

Did you know there might be a second language on the Book of Mormon gold plates? Most Latter-day Saints have heard that the plates were written in Reformed Egyptian, but not as many people realize that the Book of Mormon started as essentially a different language first. And the relationship between these two languages, I believe, supports the authenticity of the Book of Mormon. What the Nephite language started as, is described in the first chapter of the book of Mormon as "the learning of the Jews and the language of the Egyptians." Scholars have theorized that this first language could contain a mix of Hebrew and Egyptian features. So the Book of Mormon writing may have started out looking something like this, a Judahite variety of Egyptian known as Palestinian Hieratic that is attested in Lehi and Nephi’s day. But languages don’t stay static. After hundreds of years, it seems this earlier Egyptian language evolved into a modified, or Reformed Egyptian, as Moroni calls it at the end of the book. So maybe something like this. Since the writings of Nephi and Mormon both appear to be included on plates that became the Book of Mormon, one would expect their languages to look different. And Martin Harris’s visit to Professor Charles Anthon may show evidence of this shift. New research reveals Anthon may have seen two different transcripts: one that resembled Egyptian—like at the beginning of the Book of Mormon— and another that was harder to identify, just like we’d expect from an evolving, reformed language. Language changing over time is totally natural—just look at how different English was a few hundred years ago! So this shift in the Book of Mormon’s language is exactly what we’d expect from an authentic, ancient record. If you want to learn more, read KnoWhy 774 at Scripture Central.

So the Daily Wire published a very lame piece declaring Joseph Smith a false prophet. But… they forgot about the Book of Mormon! If the book is true, then Smith was indeed a prophet. I’ve been publishing a series of BofM validations. Here another example: how could Smith have known about a documented oral tradition regarding the “coat of many colors” that was NOWHERE available to anyone in 1829 America?

✡️Mormons and the LDS church LITERALLY state they are Jewish and descendants of Israel in the Book of Mormon and their holy task is to gather the Tribes of Israel in the Latter Days. The Jewish religion and Mormon LDS religion are incredibly similar with customs and practices (see the comments for exact examples)

"What are the fruits of Joseph Smith?" There are dozens of good fruits I can list-- our language training program the government tries to copy, our ministering program other faiths try to copy (and fail), our youth and missionary culture-- and so much more. But I'll focus on the three most important fruits: 1. The Book of Mormon I can't overemphasize this one. The Book of Mormon is the keystone of our whole religion-- a "sudden death proposition." All our claims live or die based on the veracity of that book. If it's a fraud, then Joseph, his revelations, the church he organized, priesthood authority, Joseph's successors-- everything goes with it. On the other hand, if it's true (as I know it is), then all that it implies is true, too: living Prophets and Apostles, priesthood, revelation, temples, dorky prom invites and carrots in your jello (obvious jk on those last two 😉). For 196 years, this book has been critically analyzed perhaps like no other book in modern religious history. No critic can account for how an uneducated farm boy correctly wrote inexplicable Hebraisms, dozens of short and long Near Eastern style poems, a story more intricate than Lord of the Rings with an internally consistent geography, verified distinct wordprints across characters, hundreds of names, interwoven storylines, rich theology, etc. Then to leave easter eggs for archaeologists and linguists to discover centuries later. He supposedly made scores of ridiculous (at the time) guesses about the Old and New World that were eventually corroborated by archaeology—making Joseph an astronomically good guesser if he wrote the thing. Oh, and he dictated one of history's most rich and complex religious texts in a single draft over about 65 work days. When you begin to study it, you'll find the case for the Book of Mormon is deeply impressive. The evidence, in the words of Farrer, "does not create belief, but it maintains a climate in which belief may flourish." For those who say "Well the Bible says any other scripture is impossible," we respectfully suggest that you're reading that message into 2-3 Bible verses when it's not there, and we'd be happy to explain why there is ample space in the Bible for continued revelation. 2. The lives of the people Charles Dickens (yes, that Charles Dickens) boarded a ship of Latter-day Saint immigrants. He fully expected to find the "Mormons" would fit the stereotypes he'd heard, and was prepared to write about all the horrid things he saw. But after observing the Saints, he wrote: "To my great astonishment they did not deserve it; and my predispositions and tendencies must not affect me as an honest witness. I [felt] it impossible to deny that, so far, some remarkable influence had produced a remarkable result, which better known influences have often missed... [they are] in their degree, the pick and flower of England." Most people who join our Church don't become interested by an ad for a free copy of the Book of Mormon or a 19-year-old in a suit. It's because they knew members of our Church and could tell, like Dickens, that there was something wonderfully different in their lives. And it's not anecdotes; it's quantifiable. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints produces higher outcomes in longevity, marital happiness, family togetherness, income, education, health, and virtually every other positive socioeconomic indicator there is. They are more devoted to God and more biblically literate than any other Christian faith per Pew Research. If you're interested in the stats, Clint Teeples has made it his hobby to accumulate all that data-- check his account for the receipts. Latter-day Saints are happier, more devoted to God, and successful in their personal lives than virtually any other group in America. That's because of the truths we build our lives on-- the truths we learned from the revelations of Joseph Smith. What about the "bad fruits?" "He was a con man, a fraud, an adulterer, etc!" None of those things are true. Dig past Reddit anti-Mormonism and look at the actual history. It's not that hard-- this was the nineteenth century-- not the ninth, after all. Thousands and thousands of documents-- journal entries and meeting minutes and newspaper accounts, etc. And I'm sure it will come as a shock 😉, but most credentialed historians aren't Latter-day Saints. Yet what do they see when they study his life? A get-rich-quick scheme? No. He lived and died penniless (and often houseless). He died in debt in large part because he was too generous with people who came asking. And he broke the mold by insisting members not be paid for their part-time service in the Church. A sorcerer and a gold-digger? No. He was as superstitious as other 19th-century rural Americans as a youth, then abandoned his superstitions when he began his work as a prophet. A philanderer? No. And the inspired, temporary practice of polygamy is a subject deserving a much longer explanation than a few sentences here. Historians as a group do not accept Joseph as a Prophet. But they almost universally acknowledge Joseph was sincere-- that Joseph truly believed God had spoken to him, that he believed the revelations he received. Even to the extent that as he knew he was about to die, he turned to the Book of Mormon (which he supposedly fabricated) for comfort and inspiration as he went to his Maker. Get past the sound bytes and caricatures and get to know Joseph Smith. 3. The ultimate fruit: Revelation I have studied the fruits of the Book of Mormon for 30 years. I have studied the fruits of Church membership for a little longer than that. I have studied Joseph's life and read the gamut of literature from apologetic to apoplectic. Most importantly, I have prayed to God about these things and received pure light and knowledge to my mind-- not "some warm fuzzies," but a divine witness, a seal, confirming to my spirit and my intellect the authenticity of the Book of Mormon and all that it implies. I echo all the words of Elder Jeffrey R. Holland below and likewise ask that my testimony "be recorded by men on earth and angels in heaven." I wish I could make the whole world know that I know. The Book of Mormon is true. And Joseph Smith was a Prophet of God.

Here we go. I want you to know this: I'm going to be posting occasionally about my faith as a Latter-day Saint. I have a firm testimony of the Book of Mormon from a personal witness, but it's understandable if people have questions about its veracity. Note that the first several chapters of the Book of Mormon take place in 600 BC Jerusalem. The question at hand: how could Joseph Smith have gotten SO MUCH RIGHT about that culture, namesakes, locations, politics, language, of military practices from pre-exile Judah if he conjured the Book of Mormon from whole cloth in 1830?! We defer, of course, to the greatest LDS scholar and apologist: Hugh Nibley:

Susan and I have spent the day with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and other community members who were involved in the tragic shooting episode that took place in Michigan on Sunday. The devotion of these faithful members makes me want to be more devoted, and the faithfulness of these good people makes me want to be more faithful. They have the capacity—because of the eternal perspective of the gospel of Jesus Christ—to learn lessons in tragedy in mortality that prepare them for eternal life. We are familiar with the admonition that we should mourn with those that mourn. There are broken hearts here in Michigan. My invitation to any and all is to continue to pray for these good people.

My 1970 vintage edition of the Book of Mormon is precious to me. By its appearance it is tired and worn, but no other book is as important to my life and my testimony as this one. Because of this special book, I gained a witness by the Spirit that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that He is my Savior, that the scriptures are the word of God, and that the gospel is restored.

The Holy Bible and the Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ provide spiritual guidance and teaching from Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. The Lord declared they would be joined together and “become one in thine hand” concerning the stick of Judah, which is the Bible, and the stick of Joseph, which is the Book of Mormon (see Ezekiel 37:15–17; see also 2 Nephi 3:12). The Book of Mormon provides fundamental doctrine that enhances and builds upon the Bible. For example, where the Bible provides an accurate account of the mortal ministry of Jesus Christ, including His death and Resurrection, the Book of Mormon is more explicit about the Atonement of Jesus Christ, something prophets explained in detail prior to His birth. We treasure these books for their profound role in documenting God’s direction to ancient prophets and people and the guidance they provide for our own personal lives.
