Matthew Stuckey here and I want to make another video talking to you about the
religion of Mormonism and expose it for the cult that it is. And what I want to
talk about in this video is what's known as the burning in the bosom. The burning
in the bosom. And this is something that Mormons will talk about and they'll say
that they know Mormonism is true and the reason why they know it's true is
because they got the burning in the bosom. Well what do they mean by that?
Well it says in the Doctrine and Covenants chapter 9 verse 8 which this
is one of the religious books of the Mormons. It says but behold I say in you
that you must study it out in your mind then you must ask me if it be right and
if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you therefore
you shall feel that it is right. And so what it says in the Doctrine and
Covenants is that basically you should study out Mormonism and the Book of
Mormon and whether Joseph Smith is a prophet instead of just looking at the
evidence what you should do is pray to God about it and the Bible says not the
Bible but the Doctrine and Covenants says that you're gonna feel it it's
gonna be the burning in the bosom and what Mormons teach is that God will
actually reveal to you whether Mormonism is correct or not and he's gonna do that
by a feeling. Okay now there's many problems with this and we need to
realize first of all that feelings can be deceiving right you can feel
something but it doesn't mean that it's reality you can't trust your emotions
you can't trust your feelings they can mislead you. This is why Peter talked
about that we have a more sure word of prophecy that's what the Bible says
right the scriptures is a more sure word of prophecy than our personal
experiences so here's the thing you might feel like something is right but
if there's a Bible verse that says it's wrong then it's wrong because we trust
the scriptures which is a more sure word of prophecy than personal experiences or
testimonies or things such as that. You know outside of the Doctrine and
Covenants they go to James 1 verse 5 as their main text verse from the Bible
where the Bible says 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 in so what they teach
is that you should ask of God if Joseph Smith is a prophet ask of God if
Mormonism is a true religion ask of God if the Book of Mormon is the Word of God
and is perfect and is directly from God to us so we should ask God about that
and God's gonna reveal it by a feeling inside of us and so there's many
problems with this now number one I love that scripture in James 1 verse 5 if you
lack wisdom ask of God well God can guide you in the right paths and you
know what he's usually gonna give you that answer from the Word of God itself
where you ask about something and he reveals it through the Word of God
that's how he speaks to us or through a sermon that you hear preached but the
other thing you need to realize is this sometimes in life you don't need to ask
for wisdom because you already know the answer see if I lack wisdom in an area
I'm trying to be a good father I should pray to God and ask God to guide me and
direct me down the right path this big decision I have how do I become a good
father how should I raise my son and God can reveal that through the Word of God
where he tells me to train up my child he tells me to spank my child he tells
me to provide nurture and admonition and there's the answer from God to me but
certain things in life I don't need to pray about because I already know the
answer just a silly kind of an example is you know 2 plus 3 equals 5 2 times 7
equals 14 do I really need to pray about that do I need to meditate about that or
do I already know the answer and see there's many things that we already know
the answer because the Word of God tells us what the answer is and so we don't
have to question and then pray about it if the answer is just plain and simple
in the Bible I don't need to pray and ask God is evolution true and wait for a
feeling to reveal it to me because the Bible says in the beginning God created
the heaven and the earth and so when you add up the the lineage you've got less
than 7,000 years of human history I don't need to pray about that I already
know the answer now here's the thing if I didn't know the answer I could pray
and ask God and he could reveal it through the Word of God itself but you
know certain things it's just black and white in the Bible it's the more sure
word of prophecy once you see it you don't have to question it I don't have
to stand up here today and pray about whether the Bhagavad Gita you know the
Bible for the Hindus or Hare Krishna I don't need to pray about whether that
should be one of my scriptures that I read because of the fact I already know
the Bhagavad Gita is false I don't need to pray and ask God is Islam the right
religion because the Bible itself already speaks against the doctrines and
the beliefs of Islam so I know it's a false religion I don't need to pray
about it because the answer has already been revealed so here's the thing Mormons
will talk to you and what they'll try to get you to do is not go off logic or
evidence but just go off personal feelings and they will say I will tell
you by my testimony I know the Book of Mormon is the Word of God because I
prayed about it and God revealed it on to me he gave me that burning in the
bosom and it's like and you should read the Book of Mormon and pray about it too
and you want allow God to give you the answer are you afraid for God to give
you the answer that's the sort of thing that they're gonna say but you know what
it would be wrong for me to pray about something I already know is wrong and
just say God can you reveal it to me I'm waiting for that feeling when he's
already revealed it to me through the Word of God itself so what you see with
Mormonism is that they believe in their religion because they're trusting
emotions they're trusting feelings another thing to consider is that Satan
can disguise himself as an angel of light and so you might have an emotional
reaction to something but where did you get that emotional reaction it could be
that the devil sent it to you and he's deceiving you by trusting your feelings
even though the Word of God says something completely different so look
they go to James 1 5 where it says if any of you lack wisdom let him ask of
God but you know the context there is not asking hey is this other religion is
this the true religion well when you already know the answer that it's not
the true religion that it's a false religion you don't need to pray about it
you don't need to wait for the burning in the bosom but what you see with
Mormonism is it's not about evidence it's not about logic it's about an
emotional reaction and so they are taught at a young age just pray about it
trust your feelings and what happens well Satan deceives Mormons by giving
them this burning in the bosom giving them this feeling and then they trust it
and then they dedicate their lives to a false religion because they're trusting
feelings rather than just trusting what the Word of God says anyways thank you
and God bless
