    The things written here combined with Adam Konigsberg’s comments related to some earlier words of Nephi leave me thinking that modern Jews have inherited centuries of teachings designed to reject Christ and Christianity such that claims of the Messiah being the Son of God by Nephi are seen as revolutionary when I am fairly confident…

    If someone accepts that the Book of Mormon is scripture comparable to the Bible then they should be excited by the promise that there will yet be another book of scripture that will come forth from the record of the lost tribes. I would imagine that when that book comes forth it will open up…

    I just made the connection that those who insist (as some devout and genuine ministers whom I generally trust do) that we can’t consider feelings and impressions as authoritative in our understanding of the gospel are actually denying the Holy Ghost.

    The prophecy about Christ here isn’t speaking about when he came in the meridian of time, it speaks of the results when he comes to usher in His millennial reign.
