Book of Mormon References to Biblical Teachings
"The Book of Mormon . . . stands as a scriptural witness to [New Testament] teachings. Examples include the miraculous birth of the babe in Bethlehem, His Sermon on the Mount, and the intense suffering of the Savior. The doctrine of the Resurrection is mentioned more frequently in the Book of Mormon than in the Bible."The need for the Holy Ghost was mentioned by Paul He asked, 'Have ye received the Holy Ghost . . . ? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost' (Acts 19:2). That doctrine is clarified by another scriptural witness, conveyed through the Lord's prophet of the Restoration. He taught us to 'believe in the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands' (History of the Church, 5:499). That precious and powerful gift is again available to children of God."
