Listen "Doctrine & Covenants 14-17, Stand As A Witness, Come Follow Me"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textAlthough Martin Harris, David Whitmer, and Oliver Cowdery sincerely wanted to be the 3 witnesses to the Book of Mormon Gold Pates, did they fully understand what would be required of them. It is comforting to know that even though Oliver Cowdery and David Whitmer fell away from the church with Oliver returning after about 10 years of exile, all 3 fervently maintained their solemn witness of the gold plates, and the Angel Moroni.Would we be willing to walk away while amongst our friends claiming to be the one that was preventing the angel from appearing as Martin did. Martin is often first mentioned for having lost the 116 pages. But it is Martin that mortgages his farm for the printing of The Book of Mormon. We discuss the miraculous story of the field being plowed overnight. We discuss some of the scriptures that stand out to us. Martin Harris, Oliver Cowdery, and David Whitmer are all attacked by Satan in many ways in his attempts to stop the restoration of the church. But as we have stated before, Satan may win some battles, but God will win the war. There are others who have witnessed the Gold Plates, such as Marty Whitmer. It is interesting to note that although she saw them, she was not called to testify of them. She obtained that blessing without having to bear that burden. A burden it truly was as people tried to destroy those men.Support the showThanks for listening! Keep on Strivin'! Support the Show & become a "Patron Saint"! 😇www.patreon.com/SaintsintheSouth
