This concludes our series examining whether the Church was restored in 1830. In this final installment, we review additional revelations that did not come to pass, along with various challenges that arose under the leadership of Joseph Smith as prophet.
Our hope throughout this series is that viewers will thoughtfully consider whether the church organization established by Joseph Smith and his associates was truly divine in origin or the product of human effort. We have sought to clearly distinguish between the restored church structure and the simple, foundational gospel taught in the Book of Mormon.
Upon closer examination, the Book of Mormon stands apart in both spirit and substance—particularly in its emphasis on simplicity—from many of the doctrines and practices that were later introduced through Joseph Smith’s revelations. We invite all who watch to prayerfully ponder these matters. We encourage you to approach the Book of Mormon with fresh eyes, asking God to help you separate longstanding church traditions from its core message: the simple call to repentance made possible by the Savior’s atoning sacrifice on the cross.
The Book of Mormon is unequivocal in its teaching that only those who repent are covered by the Atonement of Jesus Christ and receive everlasting life in His kingdom.
