Scripture Sunday Helaman 5:12

For some reason I'm not fully sure of, LDS get accused of all the time about not being Christians. While it's true, some of our beliefs don't fall into line with mainstream Christianity, there are many passages and verses in the Book of Mormon that should show someone that we are believers in Christ. This is one them.

In fact, it's so obvious that I wonder why it's not quoted more by members of the church. Helaman 5 states "and now my sons, remember that is upon the rock of our redeemer who is Christ, the son of God, that ye must build your foundation." To me, this should be a reminder to everyone-LDS or not, that the Book of Mormon testifies that the foundation of the church is Christ. The verse gets better too, when it says "Satan shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless woe because because of the rock that which ye built." If your foundation in Christianity is based in anything but Christ, it will fail.
