The Book of Mormon: Part 5 (2 Nephi chapters 10-25)

/ Daniel Mynyk/ No Comments

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 Isaiah.

Then, Nephi goes to town with yet more seemingly amazing prophecies that sound like New Testament doctrine in the 500’s B.C. We look at 2 Nephi 25:23 as a verse to bring up to LDS missionaries as a challenge to their “plan of salvation.” Ephesians 2:8-9 has something to say against it!

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.

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. Scriptures Referenced: Luke 2:1-7,16 Luke 22:11 Luke 13:15 Acts 13:6-8 Isaiah 60:6 Matthew 2:1-6 Micah 5:2 Numbers 24:17 *** Please contribute to the Hurricane relief fund for A.M.

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.
