My cousin's car caught fire and my cousin's barely made it out with their luggage before the car exploded. Everything in the car was burned very badly . Except for one thing - a copy of the Book Of Mormon. There wasn't even a mark on it ! Can you believe that ! Was this a sign from Our Heavenly Father letting us know that he will always be here ? What does this mean to you ?

Ann , why would I lie about something like that ?

As a Mormon, I would have said that it was a miracle from God and that it showed he granted special grace to all copies of that book.
However, as a former Mormon, I would say that if God had been especially looking out for your cousin, the situation with the car would have gone very differently. In fact, if God had anything whatsoever to do with it, I doubt the car would have burned to the ground. I believe in a kind and merciful Heavenly Father. Don't you?
The world turns, God exists, but every instant on the planet is not controlled by God. Unusual happenings occur because man plays a major role in everything around us due to his free will.

I am a Christian. My cousin's entire house burned down. The only item that survived was a guitar stored in a case under the bed. Was that a sign for my cousin to play guitar more often? I believe in the Lord whole heartily. I believe in the truth (the Word of the Lord - the Bible). I do believe God shows us His plan in some ways, but I also think we sometimes interpret things our own way.

I think your story is a lie. Cars dont explode the way they do in the movies. They catch fire and burn. This story is total BS. Sign = no. Heavenly father = joke. Book of mormon = crock of sh!t

I think that is cool.
Why not? The Book of Mormon is nothing but an ancient document and testimony of the people who lived in American thousands of years before us and witnessed the resurrected Jesus Christ. :)

that the book was placed somewhere in the car where the fire didn't get it. all this means is that the planet still has another worthless book of mormon floating around in it.

Maybe God was punishing him and left the book to show him what he was being punished for.
