The reason for this Blog is so that our children will always have our thoughts and feelings about the Book of Mormon and its teachings. We have invited grandparents to add their thoughts and insights as well because they are the smartest people we know when it comes to the teachings of the gospel. There will come a time when we have left this earth and our children/grandchildren will still be able to read our words and feel of our testimonies.

Jacob 4:4 For, for this intent have we written these things, that they may know that we aknew of Christ, and we had a hope of his bglory many hundred years before his (2nd) coming; and not only we ourselves had a hope of his glory, but also all the holy cprophets which were before us.

2nd Nephi Chapter 29:1-14


 1 But behold, there shall be many—at that day when I shall proceed to do a amarvelous work among them, that I may remember my bcovenants which I have made unto the children of men, that I may set my hand again the csecond time to recover my people, which are of the house of Israel;
 2 And also, that I may remember the promises which I have made unto thee, Nephi, and also unto thy father, that I would remember your seed; and that the awords of your seed should proceed forth out of my mouth unto your seed; and my words shallbhiss forth unto the cends of the earth, for a dstandard unto my people, which are of the house of Israel;
 3 And because my words shall hiss forth—many of the Gentiles shall say: A aBible! A Bible! We have got a Bible, and there cannot be any more Bible.
 4 But thus saith the Lord God: O fools, they shall have a aBible; and it shall proceed forth from the bJews, mine ancient covenant people. And what cthank they the dJews for the Bible which they receive from them? Yea, what do the Gentiles mean? Do they remember the travails, and the labors, and the pains of the Jews, and their diligence unto me, in bringing forth salvation unto the Gentiles?
 5 O ye Gentiles, have ye remembered the Jews, mine ancient covenant people? Nay; but ye have acursed them, and have bhatedthem, and have not sought to recover them. But behold, I will return all these things upon your own heads; for I the Lord have not forgotten my people.
 6 Thou fool, that shall say: A aBible, we have got a Bible, and we need no more Bible. Have ye obtained a Bible save it were by the Jews?
 7 Know ye not that there are more anations than one? Know ye not that I, the Lord your God, have created all men, and that I remember those who are upon the bisles of the sea; and that I rule in the heavens above and in the cearth beneath; and I bring forth my dword unto the children of men, yea, even upon all the nations of the earth?
 8 Wherefore murmur ye, because that ye shall receive more of my word? Know ye not that the atestimony of btwo nations is acwitness unto you that I am God, that I remember one dnation like unto another? Wherefore, I speak the same words unto one nation like unto another. And when the two enations shall run together the testimony of the two nations shall run together also.
 9 And I do this that I may prove unto many that I am the asameyesterday, today, and forever; and that I speak forth my bwordsaccording to mine own pleasure. And because that I have spoken one cword ye need not suppose that I cannot speak another; for my dwork is not yet finished; neither shall it be until the end of man, neither from that time henceforth and forever.
 10 Wherefore, because that ye have a Bible ye need not suppose that it contains all my awords; neither bneed ye suppose that I have not caused more to be written.
 11 For I command aall men, both in the east and in the west, and in the north, and in the south, and in the islands of the sea, that they shall bwrite the words which I speak unto them; for out of thecbooks which shall be written I will djudge the world, every man according to their works, according to that which is written.
 12 For behold, I shall speak unto the aJews and they shall bwriteit; and I shall also speak unto the Nephites and they shall cwrite it; and I shall also speak unto the other tribes of the house of Israel, which I have led away, and they shall write it; and I shall also speak unto dall nations of the earth and they shall write it.
 13 And it shall come to pass that the aJews shall have the words of the Nephites, and the Nephites shall have the words of the Jews; and the Nephites and the Jews shall have the words of the blosttribes of Israel; and the lost tribes of Israel shall have the words of the Nephites and the Jews.
 14 And it shall come to pass that my people, which are of theahouse of Israel, shall be gathered home unto the blands of their possessions; and my word also shall be gathered in cone. And I will show unto them that fight against my word and against mydpeople, who are of the ehouse of Israel, that I am God, and that Ifcovenanted with gAbraham that I would remember his hseediforever.
Thoughts:
Jason: It makes sense that there would be more than the Bible available for us because as this chapter points out there are other people who have the gospel. The Lord loves all of his children so it makes sense that he would give others the gospel as well. People of the Lord are a record keeping people so of course they would have scriptures of some kind. Could there be other scriptures than the Book of Mormon and the Bible, absolutely. However I will rely on the leaders of the church to validate their truth before believing they are true scriptures.
