This is a very personal subject for me. I am one of many, many people who read the Bible and consider it to be the truth and the actual Words of the Living God -verbatim.
I have spent a large portion on my life being militantly unrepentant atheist and was suddenly faced with one great hardship after another. All who I considered friends, even close and high powered ones drive themselves away from me as far as possible when they know that the sins which I have accumulated while at the easily obtained success are starting to go towards a lonely death.
Then I was cornered and without anyone and the last resort which I went for help was Jesus Christ; and his Holy Spirit told me to start rereading the Holy Bible and let the fire burns inside me for the first time of my life –and later I physically find myself at the top of Jebel Musa and then in the edicule of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher crying, praying and singing to Him.
Resurrection is vital for me, and without the resurrection, the Christian religion would be cruelly deceitful.
But after a long and quite personal search I can sing "Alleluia!" for the curse has been broken, death has been defeated, and life eternal is available to those who believe, including little me.
God grant that I might proclaim with the apostles of old: "He is risen! With our own eyes we have seen it, he is risen indeed!"

John 20: 29
Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed, blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

Nice post Mormon. We understand our testimony of the risen Lord not to be merely based on private experience but also historical evidence.

How long have you been a Mormon?

Many thanks to Ken Connors for his testimony of the risen Lord. We Mromons also proclaim Jesus as the divine Son of God, who performed the miracles described in the New Testament, and who suffered, died, and was resurrected. The Book of Mormon is a second witness to the divinity and resurrection of Jesus.
