It is strange indeed that Sherem, an anti-Christ, would argue for the sufficiency of the law of Moses when, in fact, the law was given by God to point toward the coming of Christ. The irony and inconsistency of Sherem’s argument continues with his use of revelation-the law of Moses-to deny the principle of revelation.
Consistently, those who have opposed the Prince of Truth have maintained the same ironic and inconsistent arguments. Jews of the meridian dispensation-in the name of loyalty to Moses and the law-rejected him of whom Moses and the law were co-witnesses. Today those professing to be fundamentalist Christians reject modern revelation in the name of the Bible-a book whose fundamental purpose is to attest that the Lord has never had a people to whom he did not speak by revelation. They angrily spurn the Book of Mormon-a book which is a perfect testimony of him whom they profess to proclaim.
