“ I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called
you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel” (Galatians 1:6) Paul told the Galatians. To the church at
Corinthians he said:
“Is Christ divided?
Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? I thank
God that I baptized none of you…” 1 Corinthians 1:13 &14)
It reminds me of a young farm boy sometime around 1820 who
noted an unusual religious excitement in the area where he lived. “Some were
contending for the Methodist faith, some for the Presbyterian, and some for the
Baptist.” Joseph Smith, that young boy
was raised in a religious home where the Bible was read daily. He happened one
day to be reading in the book of James. “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 him.” (James 1:5) From that came the restoration of the true gospel of Jesus
Christ, through a second witness that did not dismiss the first witness (the Bible)
but supported and testifies of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
