Moses 6: 63 And behold, all things have their likeness, and all things are created and made to bear record of me, both things which are temporal, and things which are spiritual; things which are in the heavens above, and things which are on the earth, and things which are in the earth, and things which are under the earth, both above and beneath: all things bear record of me.

I didn't ask you to ask me where it came from. I asked what you thought. Is it so hard to deprogram yourselves for one second and open your mind to that fact that all God has said and done is not completely contained in the bible. And if you don't believe you need to go back and read the bible again. try the last chapter and last verse of John

TTC, not annoyed at all. I'm just asking what you think. Is that really so hard to answer?

I don't know of a book of Moses. However, this means to me that each and every thing has the "stamp" of God, probably on cellular level, we are only starting to investigating that frontier now. Such as DNA, what an amazing mystery. Surely we will find the special seal in all that exist.

I am not familiar with mormon texts. There is an apocryphal book of Moses, called "The Assumption of Moses" and usually just abbreviated "Moses." Here is info on it:
The "Assumption of Moses" is a text that refers to the sons of Herod ruling, it obviously was not written by Moses. In "Backgrounds of Early Christianity" (3rd Ed., Ferguson) it is a redaction of an interpretive rewrite of Deut 31-34. The author has harsh things to say about the Hellenizers, and adopts a pacifist stance against the Maccabean militant actions. Linguistic analysis shows it was written in post-exilic (that is, 2nd Temple dialect) Hebrew or Aramaic - the majority opinion dates it to the 1st century CE, that is, around the time of Yeshua of Natzareth. The original work on which it was based before being redacted would have to date to the Hasmonean period, obviously. The "Moses" text was discussed by the Early Church Fathers, but not accepted as part of the canon, because obviously it is pseudographical and not ancient. The NT writer Jude appears to have been familiar with it, as its influence is apparently seen there. The only extant copy of the test is a 6th century CE Latin palimpsest manuscript.
As for the interpretation of the verse, it is a well known point of theology in Hebraic sources that the Earthly city of Jerusalem, especially the Temple Mount, is a mirror image of the court of Heaven and the Heavenly Temple. Both of these are created places - originally nothing existed but the highest, purist, most holy spiritual form of God that is outside of space, time and heaven as we know it. Rabbinic sources call this form of God the "Ain Sof," meaning "without end." The Ain Sof is the ultimate creator of every part of creation, both heaven and earth - and all of creation is proof of the creator. The odds of everything happening "just right" are simply astoundingly small, even according to quantum physics.

I consider the possibility that our entire universe is but a small part of God. Immediately before the "Big Bang" we were all part of everything we know of; indeed, everything we know was all a part of the universe connected to and part of everything else in the universe. All things have their likeness, but are created and made to have record of God. Some are energies yet to be fully understood, some as yet unknown in unexplored regions of space, and some on our own beautiful planet Earth. All things coming from and bearing a record of God, of whom our whole universe is only a small part of.

This is a quote from another fabrication by Joseph Smith on behalf of the Mormon Church. He says hat he was commanded by God to create a new translation of the Bible, in order to restore lost portions such as the Book of Moses.

I think you are missing a very important point here yourself. We as believers do not randomly take everything we are told and make it fact or the words of God. As far as I know you could have done a Joseph Smith thing and claim this came to you from an angel. If you are going to make a claim that something is from God, you had better be prepared to show your research and reasons to make this claim. Getting annoyed or making comments, such as you did, only discredits you and makes me all the more ready to dismiss your words.

HEY! i remember this verse from seminary. lol...i think it basically means, God made everything. Everything He made testifies of His power.
By the way, The Book of Mormon is a separate book that works together with the Holy Bible (as long as it is translated correctly)...It is not a retranslation of the Bible. just thought...whoever (i forgot the person from one of the abover answerers)... would like to know.

Moses 6:63? I don't see that book in the bible. Are you looking in the Book of Morman?

I'll answer as to what this verse means to me:
it's another witness that God is in charge and everything in and on this earth was created by him and under his dominion. There is an order to this earth that science and man are just beginning to understand.

That all things that is created by God knows the truth, that moses is the truth from God. Moses was sent to preach the message from God. All things created worships God, the one and only God even our shadow it worships a way we do not understand.
