As Does the Bible

    As a missionary we have set apart a lot of time to study out the scriptures. We constantly are searching out doctrines and principles, ready to answer any question at a moments notice. We use scriptures to back up everything we say, for it is not our gospel but Gods.
    In the Book of Mormon introduction page it says "[The Book of Mormon] contains, as does the Bible, the fullness of the everlasting gospel". I spend a lot of my time studying from the Bible, reading both the Old and New Testaments, and have found that every question can be answered using scriptures in the Bible. The only problem is that a lot of the scriptures are unclear or vague, which is why we now need The Book of Mormon.
     The Bible alone is enough to know of the doctrine of Christ, but the language used in the Bible often makes it easy to misinterpret and confuse plain and precious truths. The Book of Mormon clarifies, it puts in simple language the same doctrine that is taught in the Bible, in a way that can not be misunderstood.
    The Book of Mormon is just another testament of Jesus Christ and it contains, as does the Bible, the fullness of the everylasting and true gospel of God.
