Keystone

In an arch you have lots of stones, the foundation, voussoir, springer and the keystone. All of these stones you need to make an arch but one of the most important stones there is in the arch, is the Keystone. In the Websters dictionary it says about keystones, "Keystone is the wedge shaped piece at the crown of an arch that Locks the other pieces in place." So if you have the keystone, the arch stands, if you take it out the arch falls.
   
     Joseph Smith once taught, "The Book of Mormon is the Keystone of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints." All the pressure  is on the Book of Mormon. If that gets taken out then everything falls. If the Book of Mormon is not true than Joseph Smith did not see our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. That would mean that they did not tell Joseph to Restore the Church that Jesus Christ set up on the earth. It would also mean that Joseph Smith is not a prophet and we would not have a living Prophet on the earth today. Which would mean God dose not speak to mankind anymore.
But the Book of Mormon is true.
 
  Elder Holland once said "For 179 years this book has been examined and attacked, denied and deconstruction, targeted and torn apart like perhaps no other book in modern religious history—perhaps like no other book in any religious history. And still it stands."
“No wicked man could write such a book as this; and no good man would write it, unless it were true and he were commanded of God to do so.”
  
  I am so grateful that I have found out for my self that the Book of Mormon is true, and because I know its true I know that we have a prophet on the earth today, that our Loving Heavenly Father still speaks to all of us today and that Joseph Smiths is really The Prophet that restored Christ's Church, that Jesus really is the Christ, The Son of a Living God
