Sherem Denies Christ | Jacob 7 

I am married to a man who once believed but now denies Christ too... I never thought it would happen to my own husband and unbelief would come to my own home. My testimony of Christ and His greatest of all gift... the atonement is stronger now as a result of seeing what disbelief has done to my loved ones. It is a hard reality to live with but I also have hope in Christ and his redeeming power in the lives of unbelievers.

Every church I have ever attended or read literature for tries to prove with cherry-picked scripture and logic that it is correct, except for one which told me I could ask God directly to know whether it was true or not. That one was the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. More than once I have knelt in solemn and sincere prayer to know the truth and the power of the Holy Ghost has manifested it to me. It is so easy to be decieved and go astray in today's world, but God does not intend for us to figure everything out by ourselves. He himself can and will answer prayers if we are humble and sincere in seeking Him out.

Peace for a Palestinian, by Sahar Qumsiyeh page 65 “After months of being the only member of the Church in my family and having everyone telling me I was wrong... I started to falter. I remember one hard night in particular ... My brother had spent all day mocking my beliefs and saying bad things about the LDS church. He did this all day and continued even as I got in bed to sleep... Unable to take it any longer, I got out of bed and, in order to avoid my brother's words, went into the bathroom. I found myself kneeling down in the bathroom and through my tears, asking, "Heavenly Father, are you really there?" I had an amazing, sacred spiritual experience that night that not only confirmed to me the existence of God but also reconfirmed to me that the teachings of the LDS Church were true. I never doubted again!"

I've seen a lot of people like this. They were asking for a sign. But I always remember that Faith is the substance of things hoped, the evidence of things not seen.

Jacob has such love as Sherem is arguing with him. Jacob looks like he even feels sorry for him. Great acting and directing.

This is why Moroni's promise that the Holy Ghost teaches and testifies to us that what the scriptures/prophets say is true is so important. If we ask Heavenly Father and gain a testimony for ourselves we can be protected from Satan's lies and deception. I know Jesus Christ is my Savior.

Despite persecution, Jacob is not afraid to say what is unpopular. We would do well to give our own unique testimonies of Christ.

I hope Sherem found mercy and that all those deceived by him found Christ.

"Nothing is going to startle us more when we pass through the veil to the other side that to realize how well we know the Father and Christ and how familiar Their Faces are to us." -Ezra Taft Benson

The Book of Mormon is surprisingly appropriate for us, here, now. I believe it's true with my whole heart.

Great performance by the guy playing Sherem!

The Book of Mormon draws people unto Christ. These videos bring the message of Christ into your heart. The message is the same yesterday, today, and forever. If ye love me, keep my commandments.

The Book of Mormon exposes the enemies of Christ and all of their tactics. It is the greatest tool to help us survive in these last days

Truths taught in the Book of Mormon are so very applicable today. Truly the word of God!

Sherem pulls off haughty so well! LOL. Jacob pulls off humble, faithful, and earnest so well too!

These are more and more powerful every week. I am so thankful to have these and to share them with others

It's amazing that we all once knew the Saviour, and He is our friend. But it's a shame that people now forget Him and His sacrifice for us, and even fight against Him.

I think Sherem’s story is one of redemption and hope for him-that even though he led fragile saints away from salvation, he himself was taught of the truth, and, after sore repentance unto death, finally confessed and was released of his suffering. After all, death isn’t a punishment so much as a transfer of divine universities

Fool's mock but they shall mourn, Christ will come again

I feel so much love and grief from Jacob in this video and the video about chastity. It's the same feeling I had when I heard President Nelson say once, "Whenever the sons or daughters of God weep, we weep."

Excellent message! The importance of heeding the words of living prophets.

Very spiritual impowering videos. The tree of Life was so full of realism in people in my own family in todays world. I wished the whole world would watch these and decide where they fit in this vision.

I was deeply moved when Sherem repented of his inquiry! God will not be mocked!

This video is _very_ well acted. So impressed!

I love starting my Fridays with these clips from the Book of Mormon. Makes my day. Will be great to use them when we study the Book of Mormon next year. Will work great with families and kids. The Church has been truly inspired to do these.

I look forward to these every week! It's so great to see these stories depicted so well.

Lets appreciate the soundtrack in these videos. It has a Gladiator feel to it

3:37 What Am I that I Should Tempt God to Show unto Thee a Sign in the Thing which Thou Knowest to be True. Without Faith No Sign is Great Enough to change a Heart that is Hard.

The book of Mormon isn't just history of geographic events. Is message of truth and examples of what now, every individual should know about the existence of God the father and his son Jesus Christ.

I love the truths of the Book of Mormon.

Sherem says no one can know of things to come, but HE knows there will be no Christ!

I love this chapter

Minsan ko rin nasabi to sa sarili ko😭 pero ilang beses ako binibigyan ni god ng reasons para mabuhay 💞 And i feel blessed 💞🙏🙏🙏🙏 Kahit hindi na ako nakakapag simba sa church..dahil bawal mag day off every sunday sa work, Hindi nawawala ang pananampalataya ko kay lord jesus christ 🙏 #blessedMemberOfLDS💞

Great video Sherem is a reminder to all of us that we must avoid sin at all of that costs because they can distract us from opening our hearts to the word of God.

I have watch these every day when I read my sceiptures and they are really good

Great quality! I nice to see what the book of Mormon might have looked like.

We are called to endure right to the end of our lives, which means continually accepting the truth and rejecting the wrong. Lehi's vision of the iron rod shows that evil is close by in our every step along the iron rod: the filthy river. And even if we reach the tree of God's love the filthy river is still right beside us -- maybe another reason why the story relates that some fall away even after partaking of the fruit of the tree. I like D&C 50: God is light and if you receive light and continue in God ye shall receive more light and that light shall grow brighter and brighter until the perfect day (tree of love). And I say these things that you may know truth and chase darkness from among you. This scripture suggests fellowship is a good way of growing truth 1John 1 If you walk in the light as he is in the light, then you shall have fellowship one with another and the blood of his son will cleanse you from all iniquity. If we say we have no sin then we deceive ourselves and the [full] truth is not in us. Never stop growing your testimony, because he who learns to love himself can truly love other people: the 1st and 2nd commandment. Else we are hypocrites trying to remove the mote from another's eye while a beam is in our own eye! Hebrews 5 and 13 are good too: milk and doctrine. In Hebrews 5 discerning both good and evil means discerning the good and evil within ourselves. Hebrews 13 means a head knowledge of scripture leads to error and doctrine that is powerless, unprofitable. It says it is a good thing that the heart be established by grace and not head knowledge. Grace is the free gift of God depending on our faith for Ephesians says By grace you are saved through faith and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God. Meanwhile DC 9:8 says you must study a thought out in your mind and then ask God if it is true and if it is true he will cause your bosom to burn so that you know it is true -- another indication that heart is better than mind in discerning truth.

Such a tragic story, I wish more people would read the Book of Mormon for its literary value instead of discounting it as a fraud.

Sherem exhibited the classic traits of an anti-Christ; flattery, flowery language, challenging the highest authority (the prophet) and accusing him of preaching false doctrine, seeking a sign. But Jacob had seen the Redeemer and could not be shaken.

My siblings were all believer's and have all left the church...this world has truly left it's mark on them and i do not judge them for the decisions that they have made in their lives... it hurts so much that they have drifted away from the Gospel...and i pray for them hoping that by some miraculous intervention the holy spirit will leave an impression deep in their hearts and souls to return...i cannot express how much i have been impacted by the devastation of their decision's to leave...however i will fast and pray for them, as God has said quite often He is no respecter of person's and neither am i.

Sherem reminds me of the Apologia Studios guys... If only they would put down their priestcrafts and hearken unto the voice of the Almighty; for His authorized servants truly testify of the one true Messiah who has redeemed all mankind. "Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he reaveleth his secret unto his servants the prophets" (Amos 3:7)

The demeanor of Sherem looks so much like the countenance of a RU-vid pastor named Jeff Durbin who fights against latter day saints and our belief's. The fact that he professes the name of Christ but rejects his doctrine just reminds me of Sherem.

Thank you for bringing the Book of Mormon to life. Truly from God.🇦🇺👍🙏

Touching! 👍

Wait, where is Jacob 5? Book of Mormon Videos will there be a Jacob 5 movie? That's one of the BEST and being fulfilled Prophecies in the Book of Mormon. I LOVE watching these.. they are done very well

Pertaining to those who continue to deny Christ: will you escape the "apocalypse" which will come, unless you repent? Begin to believe in Him.

And thus we see the end of him who perverteth the ways of the Lord; and thus we see that the devil will not support his children at the last day, but doth speedily drag them down to hell. Alma 30:60

How many times have we been in the shoes of Sherem when our faith has been weaken and didn't believe fully because of the challenges of life we face? in the end Sherem acknowledged and testified he was wrong, and confession is part of repentance process. I hope he has mercy because Jesus is love (plus we don't know Sherem's background if they parents taught him good principles or not in his childhood/youth, otherwise his parents are accountable somehow as well)

I didn't see this on the episode list, so glad they made this one

We're here to lived in the world and beautiful world he prepare for our us to see our savour and look up to him forever in his lifegiven for our us to remember the great love for us all.

Myself I love my saviour and my redeemed more than things of this World.

I love how Jacob mourned the loss of Sherem.

I hope God will be merciful unto Sherem. For he did confess his sins, and whether he forsook or not we do not know.

This is the best way to learn the Book of Mormon 😁🥰😍😘 it’s A+

Moses testified of that Prophet who is Jesus Christ

When we ask with all our hearts and security our thoughts will fill ITS true our spirit will taken in bottom of ours whole ITS true,

One thing I've noticed since this video and as I go back now and read again is that this man, wild dying, Said he worried for his own soul because he says he committed the unpardomable sin. What's interesting that I have taken notice of is he didn't seem to say how concerned he was for all of those that he turned away from God. Although, he did want them all gathered around hurriedly so he could Tell them he was wrong, he lied to God which then turned the people back to God. Now I have much to ponder about This particular scripture, the nature of God, things we do that are unpardonable, but also compared to repentance and change. But he also clearly knew of God, and only believed after he received a sign and was smitten. But so many people are also smitten so that they can turn to God and that is the loving gift of God that help us come to repent

Good and great video

I always thought when I read about this, Jacob sure jumped straight to the point. Alma gave korihor a bit more time to redeem himself. Jacob was like, K, if god says so, you’re done for.

I love the videos but wish they were set in the order that they are in the Book of Mormon. It is hard to go through them like I would like to without a guide.

Every time an atheist says "Show me a Sign" what they are saying is "Heavenly Father SMITE ME!" God does not like it when these false prophets tempt him if you deny him and want a sign he will destroy you and you will be smitten until you die. DON'T DENY GOD OR THE CHRIST!

it makes me shudder when sherem said show me a sign, because I've had what seems to me an endless amount of signs. So much so I honestly don't want any more I know enough and I've done too little.

0:48 Those two little girls admiring the seashell are so cute! (0:58) And those stones/shells on that lady's headband are cool

And it came to pass that he was nourished for the space of many days. Nourish is a peculiar word isn’t it? I sometimes wonder if he was taught the true gospel by the very people he was trying to deceive.

Lagi ko po sinusubaybayan ang mga videos ng book of mormon mas madaling na iintindihan ng nagbabasa ng the book of mormon

Seeing the story is so much more powerful than just reading it.

2 groups of Hebrews in 500 BC debate the Future Christ - one accepts - one rejects - what do they do differently ? which group stops making animal sacrifices ? which stops going to Temples ? which group is Saved by their Faith in Christ ? what does a professed Faith in Christ get you then ? ? and what does it get you today ?

The main narrative running throughout the Book of Mormon is summed up in Alma 34:5: "And we have beheld that the great question which is in your minds is whether the word be in the Son of God, or whether there shall be no Christ." This is the crux of our faith. Over and over again, throughout the Book of Mormon, this question is raised again and again, only to be answered in the affirmative by the Lord's servants. Today, the same question is still raised by the world, by those seeking to remove Christ as the center of our lives. This is why the Book of Mormon is so vital to us, to remove doubts whispered by the devil. The devil used the word "If" many times in the New Testament, attempting to make the Savior doubt himself during his fasting sojourn in the desert and when He hung on the cross. The Book of Mormon removes the "if" and replaces it with "is", declaring that Jesus Christ IS the Son of God, the Savior of the world.

I was excited for Alma to deal with Korihor, but this is more epic than I thought. Jacob never looks phased for a moment. Sherem’s actor does a great job at being pompous and unlikable.

AWESOME!!

At home seminary because of CorOnA virUs :(

It really intrigues me how the three different main anti-Christs in the Book of Mormon operate: 1. Sherem does not deny God, and still preaches that the scriptures are true, but declares that Christ is a myth and certain parts of the doctrine are inventions 2. Nehor preaches popularity and that leaders should be supported by their followers 3. Korihor straight up denies God exists and that everything you do is okay. I love that, because it shows how Satan can use different methods to achieve the same result, and because we see much the same things from various factions in our modern world, all with the goal of shaking us from the faith

How can anyone deny the Christ over 4 centuries before His incarnation, ministry, death, burial, and resurrection? That is totally illogical.

Question for Mormons: I really enjoy the videos and do not know much about LDS, but as far as the Law of Moses, did these original settlers (sorry don't know what else to call them), these original descendants of the Jews and/or Hebrews, keep Kosher? Did they eat pork? This would have occurred before the new covenant, so just curious. Also, do LDS members avoid pork and all related products now? Thanks !

love it

Very powerful & inspired videos!

They’re starting to get more creative with the camera angles and views. It’s fun to see these videos progress both story wise as well as production wise.

Out of curiosity, in which country were these scenes filmed? Are the actors and actresses all members of the local LDS?

Are these videos in order.

if Hebrews are debating Christ in America they should be doing it in Judea - over four hundred years of heavy debate about Atonement before the Event

"People don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions to be destroyed." ~ Nietzsche

And the take away point IS? Well as they say the MORE things change the MORE they stay the same, we are blessed to see yet another representation of what many of us in one point of another think we possess all of the OR the correct knowledge of things yet if we but to humble ourself we would realize that even though we are created in his image we are but only a small portion of our ever lasting progression in our life’s.

I love Jacob. He is awesome!

Really, how useful is this in a missionary application to call a strike upon a man. Was there no other way? And then have him die.

That feeling when I am eternally thankful for a RU-vid video. 0:49

Dominus Illuminatio Mea

There are many modern day Sherems , even here on RU-vid , who say that Christ does not excist , that he is a fairy tale , who mock Him , who laugh about Him and His followers , but wo , wo be unto them , because the Lord Himself has said : "" Fools mock , but they shall mourn '' ( B.O.M.: Ether 12:26 ) !!

This is the taste of a liar. - Bruno Bucciarati

You did well on this one.

Why did God choose to kill Sherem after he asked for a sign? Sherem was leading many people away from the truth. By giving Sherem what he asked for, a sign to prove that what Jacob said about Christ is true, many souls witnessed this sign and then believed the truth of Jesus Christ. God taking the life of a destroyer of faith caused many lives to be saved!

So why doesn't God strike down a few people now? I have dealt with so much evil, so many evil people and have paid dearly due to evil people their greed, jealousy and hatreds and wish this would happen to some people who live to destroy others.

Turkish please 🙏

The book says "there came a man among the Nephites named Sherem." Came from where? This shows there were other people in the land they came to besides the descendants of Nephi.

🧡🙂

How people are now People : denies god jesus christ

The man who portraited Sherem is so familiar to me. I bet he's familiar to all endowed members :D. What a great lesson I learned from this powerful video. I learned how to confound a person who profess that there's no God. The scriptures are laid before us in which it testifies of Christ. We should search them for us to not be able to be deceived by those who tell that there's no God.

omwae mushindau nani!?!?!? *lightning sond* aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

hi

I have to say, despite the fact that he's totally wrong, Sherem is a good debater. That's a bad sign....

Sherem sounds like every has-been on Facebook these days. The Book of Mormon is true
