The Book of Mormon exposes
the enemies of Christ.
It confounds false doctrines
and lays down contention. It fortifies the humble
followers of Christ against the evil designs, strategies,
and doctrines of the devil in our day. The type of apostates in the
Book of Mormon are similar to the type we have today. God, with his infinite
foreknowledge, so molded the Book of Mormon that we might see
the error and know how to combat false educational,
political, religious, and philosophical concepts
of our time.
