The Book of Mormon
Another Testament of Jesus Christ
Remember these are my thoughts and questions nothing here is church sanctioned, but it my just get you to start thinking.
Introduction: Why did the 3 witnesses only get to SEE the plates, where as the 8 where able to touch and feel and see them?
J.S. Testimony: 3x Moroni came to Joseph Smith in the night- 1x in the day, Why? Did Heavenly Father think JS could not remember things? We too are taugh things over and over again in the church.
1 Nephi 1-7 talking about how they left Jerusalem and then had to return to get the plates from Laban, killed laban, return to their family then return back to town and convincing Ismael's family to join them. the plates that they had to have where alot like the old family bible, not only was their scriptures but it have a history of the family. I think about Saraih, what faith she had to have to follow her husband into the wilderness. Had i ever thought that Lehi and Laban where related? I don't thin I had until now. Were the Plates of Laben like our Bible filled with truths and untriths or were they more like the Book of Moron all true? It says the Lehi searched them.
Chapter 8: when I read this verse with the others I thought that is doesn't belong with the onthers, until I thought about how much the lord wants us to prepare to live with him. he teaches us by little steps. Nephi is telling us that they prepared thereselves for the journey.
Chapter 9 Neohi talks about the different record he was to keep. This Chapter show that the Lord does know all things. He knew that 116 pages of the B of M translation would be lost. And he knew we needed to have that information but differently.
