The Book of Mormon: Part 7 (2 Nephi chapters 28-29)
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
The Book of Mormon: Part 6 (2 Nephi chapters 26-27)
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
The Book of Mormon: Part 5 (2 Nephi chapters 10-25)
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
The Book of Mormon: Part 4 (2 Nephi chapters 4-9)
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
The Book of Mormon: Part 3 (2 Nephi chapters 1-3)
This episode is part 3 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon. 2 Nephi chapters 1-3 cover most of the elder Lehi’s words of blessings and warnings to his children. He advises his sons Laman and Lemuel to obey Nephi’s words. Lehi seems to wax eloquent with a doctrinal dissertation on the atonement of the future Messiah, creation, the fall of Satan and Adam and Eve, and the necessity of free will. He also claims that the fall of humanity was necessary for humans to have children. The dominion mandate and the command not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil were conflicting commands from God! Also, Lehi claims that
Examining Some Nativity Traditions
Was Jesus born in a barn stable outdoors? Did Joseph knock on doors and get snubbed by innkeepers? Who were the wise men? Were there three of them? Let’s examine some of these traditional ideas about the Nativity. While we do this, let’s not lose sight about what’s important about the purpose of Christ’s birth.

The Book of Mormon: Part 2 (1 Nephi chapters 16-22)
This episode is part 2 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon. 1 Nephi chapters 16-22 cover the journey of the prophet Lehi and his family to the coast of southeastern Arabia. Nephi builds a ship. The family sails to their new “promised land,” which is somewhere in the ancient Americas. Once there, the family found resources to build civilization there. Nephi wrote some prophecy on metal plates and explained to his older brothers what it means and encourages them to obey God’s commandments. I briefly address issues over the Laman river, horses in Mesoamerica, and the curious convenience of hindsight in detailed prophecies allegedly written in the 500’s B.C.

The Book of Mormon: Part 1 (1 Nephi chapters 1-15)
