6) Okay now, you said neither does the Book of Mormon. This is a lie.

2Nephi 32:8
"For if ye would hearken unto the Spirit which teacheth a man to pray ye would know that ye must pray; for the evil spirit teacheth not a man to pray, but teacheth him that he must not pray.
But behold, I say unto you that ye must pray always, and not faint; that ye must not perform any thing unto the Lord save in the first place ye shall pray unto the Father in the name of Christ, that he will consecrate thy perfomance unto thee, that thy performance may be for the welfare of thy soul."
Enos 1
�my soul hungered...I cried unto Him in mighty prayer...for my own soul�
3 Nephi 8:47
�Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye must watch and pray always, lest ye be tempted by the devil, and ye are led away captive by him.��

�Moroni 10:3-8
3 Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how amerciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and bponder it in your chearts.
��4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would aask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a csincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will fmanifest the gtruth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
��5 And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may aknow the truth of all things.
��6 And whatsoever thing is good is just and true; wherefore, nothing that is good denieth the Christ, but acknowledgeth that he is.
��7 And ye may aknow that he is, by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore I would exhort you that ye deny not the power of God; for he worketh by power, baccording to the faith of the children of men, the same today and tomorrow, and forever.
��8 And again, I exhort you, my brethren, that ye deny not the agifts of God, for they are many; and they come from the same God. And there are different ways that these gifts are administered; but it is the same God who worketh all in all; and they are given by the manifestations of the Spirit of God unto men, to profit them.
Alma 5: 46 (Alma has fasted and prayed many days to know these things.)
Moroni 8:7
�For immediately after I had learned these things of you I inquired of the Lord concerning the matter. And the word of the Lord came to me by the power of the Holy Ghost, saying:�
Alma 26: 22 (to know mysteries of God, men must pray without ceasing.)
Mormon 9 (all of it)
Moroni 7 (all of it)

D&C 4: 7 (D&C 6: 5; D&C 8: 1; D&C 11: 5; D&C 12: 5; D&C 14: 5; D&C 29: 6; D&C 42: 3, 61; D&C 49: 26; D&C 66: 9; D&C 75: 27; D&C 88: 63; D&C 101: 27; D&C 103: 35)
ask and ye shall receive.

Sorry, this may not be the one that was deleted.
Anyway, hopefully this will be a place where rick will not mind coming to make his points.
