Just a side question: What makes you believe the bible is true?

This is a serious question, open to any LDS person:

I am told that you pray to discover that the Book of Mormon is true, and than if it is, you get a "burning in your bosom".

What gauge do you use to determine if the bible is true?

I can't speak for everyone, the "Burning in your bosom" is a biblical quotation about the disciples on the road to Emmaus, and how the Lord spoke to them and they didn't know it was him and later when they found out, they said they should have know because they had a burning in their bosom.

As for witnesses, some people have the burning bosom, some people have visions, some people have other experiences. God know what is the perfect communication for you and that is what he'll use. For me it was very specific, and undeniable, God knows that I know what he told me.

I used the same test on both, and I talk about it on my page at FR, I also have posted My Testimony on my page at FR.
