Curious, do the writings of the Book of Mormon reference Jesus at all? Because a half awake Christian scholar can find "types and shadows" of Our Lord Jesus in the Old Testament.
And if Jesus is indeed, "the author and finisher of our faith", why would God release a book that doesn't tell us about His Son before He sent Him to do what He knew He had to do since before the invention of--well, anything?
Seriously, Jesus talked about the Old Testament like, all the time, because it was part and parcel of His claim to Authority as God's point man on earth. If Jesus knew about some other scriptures that His Dad had given to mankind to communicate His Big Reveal, then why no mention?
Are you suggesting that Jesus held out on His own apostles? Why would He do such a thing when He charged them with the sacred mission to preach His gospel? Jesus flashed a big light to blind Saul/Paul so that Paul would hear clearly when Jesus spoke to him directly. Jesus laid a lot of responsibility on Paul's shoulders, but He didn't clue him in on some other critical scriptures?
Wow. You are blowing my mind. God sure does like deceiving His chosen prophets. . . Wait, that doesn't seem right, does it? Hmm . . .deceiving people, now whose MO does that sound like?
