Over the years I have encountered many evidences of the True Church, in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The purpose of this page is to compile all of those evidences in one place. Most of these ideas originated with others, but some of them are mine. There is no time to discuss each entry fully, but I will do so in brief, and then provide links to other resources that the interested reader can pursue.
Nothing can replace a testimony born of the Holy Spirit, but we learn "by study and also by faith" and in that context, logical evidences can strengthen our testimonies, and prepare us to feel the influence of the Holy Spirit, as it testifies to the truthfulness of the restored gospel.
| Abraham | Jesus Christ | |
| Book of Abraham | Both Abraham and Christ were involved in a sacrifice | New Testament |
| Book of Abraham, and Facsimile No. 1,2, and 3 | Jesus was resurrected and rose from his sacrifice to be crowned Lord of the heavens, Abraham was rescued from his sacrifice by an angel, and shown a glorious vision of the heavens. After which he sat upon Pharaoh's throne, crowned like Osiris (the Egyptian God of the Dead, who (according to Egyptian legend) rose from a similar sacrifice to become king of the dead. | New Testament |
| Genesis 18:4 | Abraham and Christ both washed the feet of others | John 13 |
| Genesis 22 | Here Abraham is a symbol for God, sacrificing his only son to save mankind. Like his Father Isaac is saved at the last minute by an angel of God. Can we emagine what this might have felt like for Abraham, having almost been the victim of a pagan sacrifice himself? Can we emagine what it must have felt like for God to watch his son suffer for others? See Isaac and Christ (under Construction) | New Testament |
