You are speaking live with Justin, who is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Information provided in this session is to provide assistance only and is not an official statement of the Church.

Justin:

Hello, how may I help you?

Nancy:

hi i had a few questions about mormons!

Nancy:

mormons started in america right?

Justin:

Ok, what are your questions?

Justin:

Yes, through a boy named Joseph Smith

Justin:

Have you heard of Joseph Smith?

Nancy:

the inventor of the quill pen?

Nancy:

the name sounds familiar for some reason...

Justin:

Joseph Smith, as a young boy, had questions regarding which church out of all of the churches was true. He read in James 1:5 and found that if we have questions we can ask the Lord

Justin:

After much prayer, Joseph recieved an answer in the form of a vision

Nancy:

a vision? what did he see in the vision?

Nancy:

for some reason i keep thinking of pochahontas. am i thinking of the wrong joseph smith?

Justin:

God the father, and His son, Jesus Christ, appeared to Joseph and instructed him as to what he should do. They told him that all of the churches of that time, the early 1800s, had a portion of the truth but not all of it

Nancy:

so where did pocahnotas fit in?

Justin:

You might be thinking of John Smith.

Justin:

Joseph Smith was called to be a prophet and to restore the church that Christ had formed during His life

Nancy:

wait so all the churches of the time were wrong?

Justin:

Basically what had happened is that when Christ died, there was no prophet or authority on the earth to lead and guide the people

Nancy:

hold on a minute if all the churches in the 1800s were wrong does that mean that the founding fathers went to the wrong church?

Justin:

Over almost 2000 years without a prophet, the people had formed what they believed to be true but they were missing that essential part, a prophet, so they were doing the best they could but a prophet was needed to restore all of the truth

Nancy:

so the prophet was joseph smith?

Nancy:

the boy with the vision?

Justin:

The founding fathers played integral roles in the restoration of the gospel. They made it possible for religious freedom. Yes, Joseph was called to be a prophet

Nancy:

and so what did joseph do?

Nancy:

i mean after the vision?

Justin:

It is quite an amazing thing, but you do not have to take my word for it. We have evidence that we can hold in our hands and read and question and then pray about to know if this is all true

Justin:

Ok

Nancy:

what kind of evidence?

Justin:

After the vision, Joseph spent many years being prepared by the Lord and instructed in order to restore the gospel

Justin:

One of the main things he did was he translated the Book of Mormon

Nancy:

oh! is that why you guys are called mormon?

Nancy:

after the book?

Justin:

The Book of Mormon is the evidence I was speaking of. It is Joseph's "fruit" as said by the Bible

Justin:

Yes

Nancy:

translated? why did he need to translate the book?

Justin:

After the book, Joseph organized the church

Justin:

The book is an ancient record, like the Bible, only it is a record of ancient prophets that lived in the americas

Nancy:

there were ancient prophets in america too?

Justin:

Joseph was guided in finding what were then golden plates and, through the power of God, he was able to translate ancient egyptian writing into english so that we could read and know of their words

Nancy:

wait a minute im confused. isnt egypt in africa?

Nancy:

so why were the ancient prophets writing in egyptian?

Nancy:

if they lived in america?

Nancy:

why didnt they just write it in english?

Justin:

I like to think of it this way...If God loves all of His children, why would he only call prophets in Jerusalem? There were people in the americas that needed guidance, too, so prophet were called to lead them

Justin:

That is a great question

Nancy:

ok...well that makes sense. i can see why God would want to have prophets in america to save the people there. but still a little confused.

Justin:

What is confusing for you?

Nancy:

i guess why the writing was in egyptian? when egypt is all the way on the other side of the world?

Justin:

Ok, I found the verses I was looking for

Justin:

I will send them to you

Justin:

http://scriptures.lds.org/en/search?search=Mormon+9%3A32-34&do=Search

(This URL is opening in the browser window that you opened the chat window from.)

Justin:

That is a section of the Book of Mormon explaining why they wrote in egyptian.

Nancy:

thanks! im reading through it.

Nancy:

so God purposed for them to write in egyptian so that none one else would know the language...

Nancy:

...except by a prophet guided by God? so was it to prove that joseph smith was a prophet?

Justin:

There were many reasons, such as not having sufficient enough space for them to write in Hebrew, but part of it was that it was all in preparation for what was to come in the future--the translation by Joseph

Nancy:

oh yeah it says the part about the plates being large too. ive never seen hebrew before. is it that much bigger than egyptian?

Justin:

I really do not know specifically, but they were writing on golden plates, it was very difficult and time consuming to do so

Justin:

They had to be efficient

Justin:

Have you ever read the Book of Mormon before, Nancy?

Nancy:

no but it sounds like a pretty interesting story

Nancy:

is there some way i can read more about this?

Justin:

You can request one from mormon.org and we will send it to your home. It is an amazing book

Nancy:

ok maybe i will do that.

Justin:

I love talking to you about it, but I would much rather have you read it for yourself and find out for yourself if it is true

Nancy:

that sounds fair. do i have to have it sent to my home? is there some way i can drop by a mormon church and pick one up?

Nancy:

my parents are strict catholics, see.

Justin:

Oh, ok. Would you like to know where the nearest church building in your area is?

Nancy:

catholic just isnt working for me. it feels like something is missing.

Justin:

I understand, my father went through the exact same thing

Nancy:

really? and he became a mormon?

Justin:

Yes. He felt just as you just said, like there was something more that he was missing

Justin:

He was able to fill that void through the teachings of the church

Nancy:

i really do want to feel...complete, i guess.

Justin:

I know that you can do the same if you will read from the Book of Mormon and then pray to God asking if these things are true.

Justin:

That is how it all starts, then you can build from there

Nancy:

how will i know? i feel like im saying a prayer with every heartbeat, but i wonder if God really listens.

Justin:

He does, Nancy, He is always listening

Justin:

Answers to prayers can come in many different ways, but usually it is through feelings of peace and joy, or comfort

Justin:

We wont all have a vision like Joseph, but we can receive answers. For me, I remember praying and asking about these things and I just felt at peace

Justin:

I knew it was an answer from the Lord

Justin:

I have felt those same feelings over and over again throughout my life

Nancy:

so if i pray about it and God gives me peace, ill finally know?

Nancy:

that really sounds beautiful justin

Justin:

Yes, and it is an amazing feeling

Justin:

Just know that sometimes we will recieve answers the first time, other times it may take a few days or even a week but do not give up.

Nancy:

thank you so much? how much do i owe you?

Justin:

Sorry?

Justin:

This ministry is about helping you. You don't owe me a thing.

Nancy:

i assume i have to tip you, right? 30%?

Justin:

Save that money for the Lord's ministry and charity, Nancy. That would be a better use.

Nancy:

arent you the Lord's ministry? why wont you accept credit card #s?

Justin:

This is an entirely free service.

Nancy:

are you saying you want a blowjob? you sick mormon bastards cant stop thinking about catholic schoolgirl fantasies. is your virgin cock nice and hard justin? do you want me to suck your cock nice and hard like one of brigham youngs 57 wives? you want me to pump your strong loins and sinews, make you jizz all over my healthy navel.
