This episode is part 10 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon. In Jacob chapter 3, Jacob continues his sermon against the people of Nephi for their pride, greed, and polygamy. I discuss a little about the polygamy issue I raised in the last part. Jacob also warns the Nephites that, if they don’t repent, they could end up with darker skin than the Lamanites. Apparently, in the ancient Americas, sin affects skin. And darker skin is a curse from God. Jacob chapter 4 talks about how the brass plates record many clear prophecies about Jesus: the atonement, that He is the “only begotten Son” and that Abraham and Isaac are a picture of God

This episode is kind of a break from the series through the Book of Mormon. 1 Corinthians 15:29 is a verse that has confounded many Christians and spawned up to 30 possible interpretations. It is the only verse that mentions people being “baptized for the dead.” This episode will explain five interpretations for “baptized for the dead”: submitting to the “baptism” of suffering and death itself for Jesus a ritual of being baptized over/on behalf of a dead body or as a proxy for a dead person being baptized for one’s own dead body that will never be resurrected being baptized into the church to replace saints who have died being baptized in the name of Christ who is still

This episode is part 9 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon. The book of Jacob continues from where 2 Nephi finished. Nephi passes away and his people get a second king. However, this king seems more like Rehoboam after Solomon. The people of Nephi backslide in wealth and pride. Worst of all many men start taking multiple wives and concubines. Of course, we had to compare this with Doctrine and Covenants section 132! Does Jacob 2:24 contradict D&C 132:38?

This episode is part 8 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon. In 2 Nephi chapters 30-33, the elder Nephi talks about “the doctrine of Christ.” Over 500 years before the event happened Nephi describes a prophet baptizing Jesus and the Holy Ghost descending like a dove. He also mentions “entering the straight gate” and the “narrow way” before Jesus said these things. To enter the straight gate means to repent and be baptized and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost and possibly speak with “angelic tongues.” The narrow way is the same as “enduring to the end” to be saved. The Book of Mormon exhorts its readers many times about needing to “endure

This episode is part 7 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon. 2 Nephi chapters 28-29 continue Nephi’s prophecies. These two chapters of the Book of Mormon lash out at what it deems false churches who oppress people and that the clergy teach their own wisdom rather than what comes from the Holy Ghost. While there can be much truth to what is said there, the Book of Mormon’s antidote leaves much to be desired. 2 Nephi chapter 29 especially mocks later Gentile Christians who claim the Bible is the final Word of God. As God argues to us, according to the Book of Mormon, that we should expect lots more Scripture to come, we

This episode is part 6 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon. 2 Nephi chapters 26-27 continue Nephi’s prophecies. After the ascension, Jesus would show Himself to the Nephites. However, after four generations of a righteous remnant, the Nephites would forsake God. Gentiles will destroy them. The record of their history and prophecies will be sealed until the latter days. 2 Nephi chapter 27 is like Isaiah chapter 29 but expanded for commentary about how God would give His book to an unlearned man and three witnesses will see it before it’s released to the public. God will open some sealed content later in due time. We briefly look at these “three witnesses” to the

This episode is part 5 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon. 2 Nephi chapters 10-25 cover the final part of Jacob’s sermon to the Nephites. After reading some chapters of Isaiah, he prophesies about the coming of Christ, that the Jews will be scattered, and that they will be regathered and believe in Jesus. The United States plays a pivotal role in the last days when the people will receive the words of God through Joseph Smith. Nephi continues to write on his brass plates and reflect on how Isaiah is clear about future things. He gives more detailed prophesies about Christ with some more modalistic verses. He then copies 13 full chapters from

This episode is part 4 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon. 2 Nephi chapters 4-9 cover the last of the elder Lehi’s words of blessings and warnings to his children. Soon afterwards he passes away. Nephi fears his brothers again and God directs him and his family and friends to an area of the wilderness where they begin to build a civilization for “the people of Nephi.” Laman and his descendants rebel against God. God curses the Lamanites with darker skin to keep the two peoples from intermarrying. Nephi makes his two younger brothers Jacob and Joseph priests to their people. Jacob delivers a message to the people by reading a portion of Isaiah
