These are the words of Jesus Christ and I believe them. Perhaps the Holy Ghost is the reason I believe them. Either way, I feel comfortable asserting that God will guide the honest reader as she reads the Bible and confirm its truth. These are beautiful words. Even more powerful is the effect they can have on the honest reader who seeks their certainty.
Truth is freedom and truth is also eternal.
With the basic assumptions that the Holy Ghost would confirm truth to me and that the truth would make me free, I buried myself in LDS studies following my honorable release from the mission field. I then moved on to Brigham Young University where I further intensified my studies into LDS history. I spent many hours on the fifth floor of the Harold B. Lee library. A wonderful collection of LDS history books is kept there both inside and outside of the Special Collections room. My most dedicated study would occur during the 1995-96 academic year.
