Comments and questions are welcome but visitors that are disrespectful will be removed. You can tell me about your religious, or non-religious beliefs (please), and you can ask me more about what I believe (I love to talk about it). But lets prove that people in the comments section can still have humanity and dignity.
Oh Dear Brother, dignity and humanity,yes. But what about truth? Does sharing apposing beliefs mean a lack of dignity and humanity. The day I finally realized the Mormon Church was not true, was the saddest day of my life. Now, after finding a true relationship with my Savior, Jesus Christ, i am at my happiest. God bless you.
Wow, look at all of you guys exhibit to the world exactly why they felt a need to make this comment in the first place. Insisting on commenting pointless “This is what you believe, lies!!” How silly guys. I left the Catholic Church to become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ and I never go on Catholic videos and comment about how they lied or how I “now have a relationship with Jesus”. I respect Catholics and the Catholic faith even though I no longer believe in its doctrine.
I myself am not a Mormon, but as someone who studies religion and history I love learning about other people's beliefs. I'm glad youtube can allow me to hear about this from actual Mormons and not only people who have a bias against the religion.
I am a member of the church. It's great to have a reminder of the whole story! I can use this with my youth group. It isn't a Church youth group, but many young people ask about our beliefs. This is a wonderful way to start a conversation. Thanks!

One of the best, most accessible explanations of the Book of Mormon I've come across. Love the simplicity and clarity of the visuals, the clear narrration. Excellent.
I honestly don't understand why a lot of people talk negatively about the Mormons. They go everywhere to help anyone they can. The 2 worst times in my life so far we're remedied by missionaries coming out of nowhere and talking to me. I will always defend the Mormons and I thank God for sending them to me in my times of need.
Most of the negativity about the Mormons I think comes from people who are either ignorant of the Mormons, find it hard or don't intend to keep the Mormon standard, or is critical of the Mormon culture and actions rather than their actual beliefs. A bit like the reason most people are atheist is not because of lack of evidence for God, but rather because they don't want to put in the time to seek the evidence or don't want for a God to exist. The negativity is unfair, but some of the criticism isn't. While the scriptures tend to teach that faith chases away fear, and truth should shine and be exposed, there are many Mormon's who also fear the truth of their own standards or Mormon history, which is not good. But this fear and hiding of truth is never as bad with the Mormons as with world leading organizations and nations, the CIA, KGB or CCP, so it still remains as one of the better organizations in the world even if it does not live up to the standards taught in scripture.
Completely agree. Unfortunately, I do believe Mormonism is false. Open to change of mind but, Lord willing, I make the decision and find the evidence no matter where it leads that I be Mormon. I look into Christian apologetics and some apologist I watch say that they have not found evidence for the Mormon faith to be true. However, I greatly commend them for their consistency with living out their faith, although, I do think the ceremonial practices of Mormonism are wicked or false from what I've heard whether fallacy or truth.
I myself a Muslim my belief is different I'm sure about my religion and i believe everything about my religion Which are listen to me in Pakistan Khyber pakhtunkhwa.but as a student who's like to study different religions i loves to study about other beliefs too😊I don't know about mermons well but i respect others religion because that's the part of my beliefs
I dont have a religion but I love Islam and I also am learning about mormonism now and like it. These two religions have alot more in common than many may suspect!

Well there is a decent number of archeological evidence in America that pre date the mayflower. Its just hard to pin point what matches up and what doesn't. I mean there are a few places mentioned in the Bible that have not physically mondern record
@medic_memer scientology isn't based on revelation or mythology. But regardless, there are lots of reasons people join or stay in religious groups, regardless of their objective truth as there is sometimes subjective truth that runs counter to objective truth.
I'm here because I want to learn the real teachings of the ifficial Mormon church because of recent events surrounding Chad Daybelle amd Lori pe Daybelle. And
Thank you for making this quick summary! I enjoy your videos. Came here after watching the one on the great apostasy. I especially appreciate the simple but effective visuals with maps.
I didn't know this...I knew Lehi left Jerusalem.. and I knew Joseph Smith was a prophet and the location of the gold plates were revealed to the prophet ..and the nephite descendants were in middle America..this is very amazing to me...thanku so much you make everything sound so simple..palletable to the ear...🤔❤️
While I am not Mormon and never intend to be, I've never known the story of the book of Mormon and I've been incredibly curious. This was a great video in that regard and it was very interesting
South park is way better!! But wait,,, there's more!! Wait till you join the cult! That's when you get to the really really good stuff!! Like the magic underwear!!! And NOT JUST that! Oh, sorry,,, I won't spoil it for you 😁
Thanks for this. Nice job. This is a great way to scaffold learning about what the Book of Mormon is and make you recognize what's going on when you actually read the book. Not too long and with simple visuals to give an idea of who came from where and and did what. Very helpful baby step.
The cartoon depictions and young voices with a simple and clear explanation of the Book of Mormon worked well together. For as many times I have read the B of M, I still learned something! Two-thumbs up.
Sam Huff dude listen look if now day some one said they say Jesus would you believe them? Why not many have testimonies so you choose not to take there word? How many different religions are there? 1% or 2% could be a lot in this world you know why? Cause there so much false an truth that maybe that 1% is so if you say these thing then you judge all religion based on there terms an beliefs. Why must we all argue over a stupid label or where we pray to GOD that the problem ya all are wanting your religion to be number one an that all the rest are fake. Not the case buddy if your catholic are saying the rest aren’t right ? We seek God not a label not church not Lutheran not Mormon not catholic not jehovah witness I seek God that all I seek !
Question about Christ in America: Are there any remains in the ruins or in Native American history that include the fulness of the gospel as presented personally by Christ when He visited them in the Americas?
Studying LDS economics for a final paper for a class, so, as a non-member/Friend of Other Faith this was very helpful. I've tried to do the Moroni Challenge and keep getting stuck in 1 Nephi. This gives me incentive to try again! Thx for posting.
@minissa2009 I am a member, so don't feel alone about not making it past 1 Nephi as a non member. Took me 5 years after I converted to this faith, but I finally decided I needed to finish. By the time I finished reading the Book of Mormon I was sad that I was at the end, then I remembered I could read it again. It has intrigue, wars, faith and lots about the Savior. You'll get there :). I find it very uplifting.
@@minissa2009 I had been looking for a religion that had something I felt missing in the other faiths I had gone to, and when I started going to this faith with a friend, it was the unmistakable feeling of the spirit. It changed my whole life as a young adult and As I've gotten older I find so much peace in my life. I love all the scriptures (Old Tesitment, New Testiment & Book of Mormon) the spirit speaks through them to answer questions or give me direction.
This video is absolutely beautiful! I love that youths’ voices were used. I also loved that the video has the genius to avoid _rushing_ the narrative. These are spiritual things, and _linger_ of some kind is important for people to _feel_ the Lord’s Spirit. Thanks so much, Br. Fulmer.
Re: Oliver Downunder My gosh, Oliver brother, mate of hate! Wondering how you have so much time on your hands such that you can stroll and troll LDS media! Brother of blown smoke, why spit spite, not to mention blanket misinformation? Those who are informed know that there is _enough_ peripheral evidence to point to the possibility of the former existence of the Nephite/Lamanite/Mulekite peoples. Remember, brother of blather, _lack of evidence is not proof against a thing._ It merely means that evidence is lacking, that’s all. Brother of blunt suggestion, of blustery blurb, of bold bunk: I for one am thankful that we don’t have hard-fast physical proof of the authenticity of the Book of Mormon, because otherwise we Latter-day Saints would have a church full of shallow, insincere people who are there only because of museum evidence. God bless you, brother of bowel contents, of brash trash! Enjoy your day, but stay out of trouble.
Please read Bible carefully before you introduce any book, do not fall in trap. There is no other books to refer than Bible. Read the word properly Gospel is never stopped even the apostles are dead. God used many people,testimonies and miracles. Revelation 22:18-19 - For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
@@likhitachiramala7962 Hold on there, sister Likhita! May I add an idea for you and I to toss around? There really is no verse in the Bible that says there will be no more of God’s word. And Revelation 22:18-19 was not the last book written. Additionally, one wonders what we would do with Deuteronomy 4:2, which says the same thing as Rev. 22:18-19. You see, the Revelation 22 passage is merely telling _man_ not to add to God’s word. But it never says that _God Himself_ will not add to his own word. We have no right to tell God what he can and can’t do. Cheers, sister of wonderful word! I hope you have a beautiful Spring-letting butterfly land on shoulder. 💛🙏🏼
@@Glen.Danielsen if God said so and it happens. According to the Bible God was very clear about this book and the commandments. Your interpretation is misguiding here, if you see revelation 22-18-19 he said if anyone adds to these things or take aways the things from Bible will be in trouble. So it means he ended the complete topic there and how can you even think God will start with new words. Think once brother have a good day.
Thanks for sharing video. Am atheist by upbringing but really interested in learning about all the faiths in the world, my only issue is not with one's personal faith, just when conflicts arise between some people sometimes unfortunately, and the occasional disturbed individuals who then can potentially give a reputation thrown in the direction of undeserving countless good people who belong to a particular faith. All the very best.
We don't know where Lehi landed. The map displayed is a hypothetical map based on geographical information in the Book of Mormon and is purposefully not rendered to fit an existing location.
Hey Rob I respect your opinion on this. However, take a look at this article from National Geographic news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2013/11/131120-science-native-american-people-migration-siberia-genetics/ Sometimes a little piece like this can make you wonder if maybe I should consider taking this to a higher source. I know I did.
People who have never read the Book of Mormon have come to the conclusion that it's a fabrication. Meanwhile, they call people who have studied it all of their lives and who have come to very different conclusions naive. SMH
We have traveled through more than 12 U.S. states filming hundreds of locations where Native American mounds, great earthworks (with a pyramid east of St. Louis called Cahokia, which is larger at its base than Tehotihuacan in Mexico, which I have been to, or the great pyramid of Giza in Egypt!) 🤪 Did any of you know that? The archaeologists even know how many millions of baskets full of dirt it took to create that pyramid approximately. Most the documented sites align with the histories of 3 major civilizations that the Book of Mormon testifies of. They correspond with the people that lived during the Book of Mormon times: 1) The Clovis Culture was Adam & Eve’s time & after, 2) The Adena Culture corresponds to the dating of the Jaredite peoples who left the Tower of Babel to come to this, the Promised Land. 3) The Hopewell Culture corresponds to the knee fight and Lamanite periods during their worrying times until 425 A.D. Just Google search any of those three cultures and you will spend the rest of your life seeing Mounds of evidence… Pun intended! Just because you say it isn’t true does not mean anything because not one of you have studied the Book of Mormon who is saying negative comments that reveal that you don’t know what you don’t know until you do. I am inviting you to study it out for yourself and then ask your own core spirit and our Almighty God if it is true. You can sincerely know for yourself. Ask the creator if it is true. You can know ALL truth through your own knowingness as you truly seek for truth, whether it comes from life experiences, faith, or not! I can tell negative people’s comments are because of the attitudes they have toward life in general. True followers Jesus Christ, he who created this beautiful earth, are NOT smug and ignorant. Anyone who loves truth knows that the more we learn, the more we realize how much we DON’T know, but all truth is knowable! Whether now or in the future, all truth is Noble and Know-ABLE. I could go on and on... I have lived in Mexico and studied many Layers upon layers of history and archaeology there in central America as well. But, do United States of America is a covenant land and I invite everyone to live up to know what a covenant is and prove to yourself whether you have the courage to study more truth for yourself...whether toward eternal truths or not. Faith works both ways. If you believe in evil, that man was created selfish and dark, your faith in that belief will prove you right. If you want to attract that energy in your life, you will for fill your own prophecy. But there is more, always more. What do you want? Goodness in this world, or not? If you want goodness, honesty, light and truth, then choose it! Have the courage to read the Book of Mormon with a sincere prayer in your heart. Do you have the guts to invite the beauty of our Jesus to be your Friend to claim your gifts, guidance, and growth? It’s up to you if you cheat yourself right out of being the captain of your soul with the All-Universe Coach who will always love us, no matter if we love Him back or not. I know Him and know that He is real...and He may even walk among us. Like the last man standing at the end of the wars described in the Book of Mormon, I will be happy to face any and all of you at the pleasing judgement bar of God...because I choose my Savior of which this Book testifies of. No, We won’t want to condemn you. You are already doing enough of that to yourselves. We all do that. 😝 So let’s be wise and trust our own faith walk (or crawl...lol) toward light & love. Eventually, I hope we come together as fellow journey buddies!
I love this video so much. Thank you for creating this clear and accurate explanation of The Book of Mormon's true history. I am a more visual learner, so this really helped me see the big picture.
I was raised Lutheran and am so blessed to be open to ALL religions. If one has ever read of the Tower of Babel, one would understand that it takes all kinds of people to spread the word of God. Having lived in Utah, I have lots of Mormon friends and I adore my Mormon family. But I am a member of the Lutheran church because it’s what my parents are, and it’s how I was raised. I welcome the Mormon missionaries into my house and pray with them, always offering my home as a place of safety for them. It is just ludicrous to judge each other and think in our tiny brains that only one religion should exist! Thanks for this information on The Book of Mormon… I’m listening again as I read the little blue book my friends left me. It’s inspiring during a real time of darkness in our world!
I like the Mormons and im happy to chat with them at my door about their views but I just cant put my heart into this set of beliefs. They are always very friendly when they come to my door and gave me a free hardback coppy of the book of Mormon which was interesting but for me.......not scripture
I cannot find any evidence to the Book Of Mormon, and I'm a Mormon and teach Archaeology at a Jr. College. You did a great job on the video too. Thanks. :)
Thanks for the video! I brought back a Book of Mormon from my visit to Utah a few years ago, but never got to reading it. I always wondered what it said. Question: What is the land that is depicted where the Nephites, Lamanites and Jaredites reside in around 3:05? Is that North and South America?
The Book of Mormon is a record of God's dealings with members of the tribes of Israel in the ancient Americas but it has not been revealed exactly where. There are many opinions and theories by members but I have chosen to just represent an internal map of how the book describes itself although at 06:50 you can see that it is somewhere in North and/or South America. For more on the position of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on this topic, check out: www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/gospel-topics/book-of-mormon-geography?lang=eng
I was about to comment the same thing, I was wondering whether this was a story to help people find faith in God, or if it actually happened. Then I started researching more, it's inconceivable to believe that a great civilization lived here before we did and we have not found anything pertaining to them...
@@magical8013 Indeed. Now ask yourself how we have historical records of Chinese civilization taking place at a time when the planet was supposedly submerged in a great flood?
I'm just learning about Mormonism as a friend recently told me he was in the church. I've read a bit, some of it very confusing so this was helpful. The other stuff I read had some bizarre story about some guy using stones like eye glasses to translate the plates, I suppose that wasn't necessary. Thanks for making it clear.
Thats the urim and thummin special seer stones that the prophets used back in the time the book of mormon was being written, seers can translate texts like how they translated the jaredite book with those stones, they were an object that used faith to work like moses staff, the ark of the covenant, the metal serpent on the stick, the leahona, etc Joseph smith used those stones and his own to translate the book of mormon using faith to make the stones work
@@kmills1231 the people of that time believed that seer stones could be used to find treasure, Joseph smith used his to transcribe the book of Mormon from the golden plates the abridged record of the people of Nephi son of lehi put down onto plates of metal to testify to future generations of people that Jesus did come and administer to the people of America after he died in Jerusalem
I love the information in this video! The only thing that’s bothersome to me is the inaccuracy or at least assumption that it took place in South America.
There is no assumption that this took place in South America. The map is an internal map showing relationships between locations and is not based on an existing geography.
This is excellent and what I've been looking for. I'm not sure if you are still asking for feedback, but here are some thoughts: 1. The narrators are excellent. Very articulate and enunciate well. However their voices are clearly young. Initially the narration sounds "odd" because it's not what I expected. My suggestion would be to create some context in the title of the video. Like "The Book of Mormon in 8 Minutes narrated by Seminary Students/Youth/Something to let me know to expect young voices" 2. At 6:10 the fonts are too large. Wars and preaching touch the other words, and preaching doesn't fit in the screen. Using that many different fonts at once also makes it hard for the brain to read them. My suggestion is to put each word inside of a box. Fill the box with white set to a transparency of 50 to 60% so that you can still sort of see the map behind it. Then place the word inside the box. That way they will stand out and be easy to see. And I'd just pick one of those fonts for all the words. I think you use papyrus for intrigue. That might be a good one. (Probably the only time in my life I'd ever recommend papyrus, don't tell my BYU students.) 3. At 8:03 The gold box is too big. It encompasses too many words and I don't know where my eyes are supposed to go. I would recommend just putting a box around verse 5. As it is right now the first word I read is "tent" which is actually the second half of the word "intent" which is in the middle of a sentence. 4. I like that you use small caps for the Copperplate Gothic Bold titles and text . Reading text in all caps is hard on the eyeballs, but small caps makes it much easier to do it. One of my beefs with Copperplate is the tiny little serifs. A sans serif font is easier to read on a digital screen. You might want to consider Franklin Gothic Bold instead. I think it's an excellent video for visual learners. Good job.
Seems to me, from their inception, the Jewish people have been immaculate record keepers. Why would they have abandoned that habit after coming to the new world? Wouldn't that alone be kinda HUUUGE?
They kept a record. Thats what he's telling you. Its the Book of Mormon. They kept many records. The Algonquin, Iroquois and others among the 5 nations have haplo group x in their DNA. The hopewell, Beaker and Mound builder civilizations are the people spoken of.
@@kmills1231 You haven't done much research then. The beaker culture, mound builders, Hopewell and adena cultures all exactly coincide with the timeline. There was only one full skeleton in the entire Mongol empire found that dated to Chengis Khan yet we know from other nations they were master horseman. Study up on how the bones of horses decay and breakdown more rapidly. Of course thier was Iorn. Don't believe everything that science and academia insist. The doctrine of Manifest destiny was destructive to much archeological evidence of these vast cultures but we still have much more to come.
@@kmills1231 As an additional side note the Jaradites (Also Semites) traveled to the American continent in 2700 bc. Haplo group x has been here for a long time. Its possible other groups were brought by the Lord to this land.
@@adamplentl5588 1st we certainly aren't a cult and an educated person can see that! We have members from all over the world. China, Spain, Argentina, Peru, Australia including Aborigines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Korea, Japan, Russia, Chile, Germany, Ghana, Madagascar and on and on and on! We have every race and color within our religion. There was a time that the seed of Cain was not permitted to hold the Higher Priesthood but they were not barred from membership. Even though that particular lineage was not permitted the higher priesthood There were still many who were from all over the globe who were not Caucasian that were members and held that authority. Pacific islanders, Aborigines, Native Americans, Tahitians Koreans, and so on and so on. Your accusations are incorrect and unsubstantiated.

I lose track about plates and # of Edits - I know Laban was killed to steal the judean plates and I gather Mormon was the last to write... but how many re-writes or edits in between ? as described in the B of M
byronofcalgary it was part of the law of Moses that you were put to death for the crimes Laban committed, so technically not killing Laban would have been against the law☝🏻 and the only edits were grammatical. There’s a record of the edits you can see.
it's honestly another story of the coming to the continent, might be way earlier but we will never know and it is a miracle that Joseph Smith was able to translate it to the best of his knowledge
@@eduardozermeno2366 no its not my friend im not in a religion but i believe in the messiah but i cant stand when people use jesus in a false way and decieve people i hope god opens your eyes
You're opinion is your choice. I believe in this and I have a testimony that sustains my beliefs in Jesus Christ, the church of jesus Christ of latter day Saints and the book of Mormon. Through Christ I was able to turn my life around from the direction I was heading and through the church i was able to find the safety and stability I was searching for and needed. I am open minded to interpretation of enlightenment and I yet have my faith and keep my testimony strong. I would like to invite you to read the new testament and the book of Mormon. One thing to keep in mind is if Jesus came to save the world, why is it not he didn't come to the Americas according to popular belief. Jesus did come to the Americas to continue his worldly ministry. If he didn't, how could he had been the savior of the world. I give you kudos for standing up for your beliefs, not many do that nowadays. Once more I invite you to read the new testament and the book of Mormon. Love and blessings.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints is true and the Book of Mormon is another testimony of Jesus Christ and gives to us the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is Gods work and not mans. I testify it is true .
The first time the word Christ is used is when an angel reveals it. Prior to that they used the term messiah. The word “Christ” only enters the record upon revelation
The Book for Mormon is a very spiritual book. It is very similar to books in the Bible except it was written 1800 years later. The theology of the book touches upon many issues that were relevant in the 19th century and many of the concepts are very applicable now. Though the author Joseph Smith Jr wrote the book for those in the early 19th century so many positive life lessons can come from it. I encourage people to have a open mind when examining it and just link it exclusively to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Love the video! It helps you have clearer view of the history in that boom. Can you please cite the references? Like from what scripture verses the information was from, like Zedekiah was blinded. Thank you so much! 😊
That is my big regret - not putting in the scripture references. I will add them to the description this weekend so check back. In the videos I am making going forward (just finishing up one on the book of Mosiah) I will have the references in the video. Really glad you liked it.
@@virnan I rarely get to use my Bachelors Degree in neurobiology but thanks for the opportunity. To answer your question (drawing on my genetics classes from the university of Oregon)... because you are not related to modern Jews or Middle Easterners. Now to make some assumptions - I'm assuming you must have a Native American heritage and I'm assuming you are asking me this because you are wondering how come the scientific field of population genetics doesn't prove that you are related to Book of Morrmon people. If my assumptions are true, I wonder if you are assuming that we know the genetic profile of Book of Mormon peoples and are assuming that they were a major population in the ancient Americas. If that is true then we may have some different assumptions. How interested are you in learning about the "founder effect," "population bottlenecking," and genetic drift? If so, I can point you in the right direction. Now a question for you - how come you hid this comment in an unrelated thread rather than just starting your own thread? Curious...
Thank you for this video! I am from the UK and had never seen or heard if Mormons until they were referenced in American sitcoms. When Naomi says "And the rest you know!" I'm afraid I have no idea what happens next or the principles of the MORMON people. Please could you recommend some videos or easy reads to help? Thank you have a blessed day x
Thanks for your interest. The, "rest you know" statement was just a reference to what we already talked about at the beginning of the video. But if you are interested in knowing more about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I would recommend this site: www.comeuntochrist.org/
I love this! Very well done! Thank you so much for making such a top notch video about the Book of Mormon! I’ve read it many times and know it to be true and have a witness from God!
Beautifully illustrated, respectfully paced, and lovely narration. This is a beautiful video. The only thing I would have added is the portions where the Lamanites became righteous. It would have been worth extending the video by a few more minutes to include some of those more significant events. Excellent work, though. Thank you for taking the time to make it!

I was here for the musical and was fascinated by the lesson ! I know many Mormon people and they are wonderful caring people that live life by those beliefs. None of us should put down another due to beliefs. If you die then you find out. Otherwise if you have no faith then what is the point of life? I expect each person to feel they have the truth or life is unbearable.
Thank you for this, though I'm not a Mormon, I am still a follower of christ and just wanted to know about the book of Mormon. This was good, it'll give me a good start in were to look next for more information.
Read "Rough Stone Rolling," by Bushman. Its a biography on Joseph Smith written by a Mormon Harvard historian. All the good, bad and the ugly is in there. It definitely has a Mormon spin on it, with justifications for Joseph's bad behavior but the behavior is at least in there and no one can accuse it of being a hit piece since its written by a Mormon and sold on the bookshelves of Deseret bookstores.
Check out their "doctrines & covenants", specifically 132, and you'll learn why, ultimately, their teachings and beliefs are wildly contradictory to what Jesus taught. There's also something in Nephi (I think 2nd Nephi) about why black people exist.
A genuine and I hope a respectful question: I find it interesting that the story in the Christian bible of a global flood which is supposed to have happened around 1400BCE, is almost word for word recorded in writings of the pagan Sumerians around 2300BCE. Furthermore, the Book of Mormon has at least three verses which point to that event in the bible as being an actual and not an allegorical tale. So - did the Bible lift the whole story from pagan writings in Sumeria from some 1000 years before? Does the Book of Mormon - the most accurate of any book according to Joseph Smith - contain what it claims to be real events, which are clearly allegorical stories originating in paganism?
Thanks for the interesting question. Not sure what I can help you with since we seem to be coming at the issue with a different set of assumptions. My assumptions are that the scriptural accounts are accurate. This does not necessitate a "whole earth" flood although it certainly could. Biblical people did not seem to have a grasp on "whole earth" being the global planet like we do today but whether it was localized or not doesn't matter to me. Also, I'm not sure where you are getting the flood date from but I've never heard anyone say it was 1400 BCE. The only dates I think one could use would be 1656 years since Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden (based on the genealogies). As far as the flood stories of Gilgamesh and Atrahasis, and the assumption that those are earlier is based on the fact that we have older copies of those stories written in stone than we do manuscripts of the Bible. According to my faith tradition, records were kept since the days of Adam (Moses 6:5-7). The fact that we currently don't have autographs of those original records doesn't mean they don't exist or didn't at one time exist. If one supposes that the Israelites didn't start recording their history until after the conquering of Caanan and then made up the stories of their history to make them seem special, I can see how the flood story could be a problem. But I don't have that assumption. I don't feel like I completely understand the lessons from the flood story or that I know how literally I should think of it (there is a lot of allegory in Genesis), but I believe it is the story that other mythologies were based on, not the other way around.
@@brotherfullmer - thank you for your reply and taking time to explain your views which I respect. I would like to add though that other mythologies could not have been based on the biblical story in Genesis as the flood myth from Sumeria was written (carved) long before the supposed biblical flood date. Had the dates been the other way around, your argument would stand. It has been good to discuss differences without falling out over them; thank you.
Nice video! Very clear and love the images etc. One little thing though, they went to North America (still with lots of space to have "lands northward") Joseph Smith himself, out of his own mouth and in his letters home and journal always referred to the Lamanites as the "Red" men or Indians in North America. Interesting to read into! :) thank you
I always had the thought that original man (not hue-mans) where a ruddy red color....... like clay, of which is symbolism for man. I'm not Mormon but I follow christ. I wanted to just get a good summary of the book of Mormons so I can accurately search out more info for it. I believe that their accounts hold some truth to them, since most of what i study up to this date points to some people coming here from the area around Judea, Egypt, Arab old world.
The scariest thing about leaving beliefs behind is the uncertainty in the path ahead. I encourage you to personally analyze your beliefs, and perhaps uncover beliefs which may not hold up to reason. My point is a man may believe in god, but he doesn’t have to necessarily believe Eve was created from a rib.
@@Seek-God-Firstthere’s no physical evidence that proves it. There is no evidence outside that of the Book of Mormon that any of the people who lived in the Americas before Columbus arrived ever worshipped Christ or had Jewish ancestry.
How big were the plates? I am a sheetmetal worker… and I cant imagine how they wrote all of this on that amount of plates. Unless the plates were much bigger then the ones you show in this cartoon. They must have been like a dinnerroom table in size.
Remember it was written in “reformed Egyptian.” So they made they’re own (condensed version of an already condensed) alphabet so they can fit what would take us paragraphs in just a couple sentences. Truly, without the power of God it probably would have been impossible to translate the book
Dark_Winter actually it’s not false. But I’ll humor you. Even if Egyptian took up more space, the authors of the gold plates created their own reformed Egyptian. Like they would etch a shape of a wave thinking “with this wave, what I’m really trying to say is ‘we sailed for the space 200 days through the ocean and did face many tribulations...” and you’re probably thinking “how on earth could Joseph Smith translate all that from a wave?” Well Mr. Dark Winter, it wasn’t a literal “translation” but more of a revelation. How else could he translate while looking inside his hat and not even at the plates? *Mic drop*
@@devinbarnes8294 I cant tell if you are mormon or apostate? The argument with him looking in the hat instead of the plates... Its not a good argument pro mormonism.
@@ChaChaDancin I asked the missionarys if they had any evidence. An extraordinary religion must have extraordinary evidence. You know what they did? They showed me a cartoon.
This is a well made video. I don't believe the story at all but it definitely does a great job of walking us through the narrative. It's actually a really cool story, one that I wish was true!!!
The Book of Mormon is true. I have studied it, I have prayed about it, I have inquired of the Lord with faith in Christ for a surety if it is true. And God has made these things known unto me by the power of the Holy Ghost. And you can know it too. I invite you to do what I did. Read the Book of Mormon, study it, and pray and ask of God with a sincere heart with real intent if the book of true. I promise you according to the heed and diligence you give unto Him, He will manifest the truth of it unto you by the power of the Holy Ghost just like He has done with me and all who have sought this truth. And if the Book of Mormon is true, and I testify that it is, then the prophet Joseph Smith was a true modern prophet of God, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Lord’s church on the earth. Seek truth from God, He will lead you in the way of life and salvation. I so testify in the name of Jesus Christ amen!
