Thankyou, Bro. Kay. I was raised a Protestant and studied the Bible throughout my youth. As I became aware of the BoM I realized it read very much like the Old Testament. There are many times throughout the BoM where it speaks of the people following the Law of Moses. This requires specific plants, foods, animals for sacrifice, and fresh water. A lot is inferred with this statement.
This opens so much up regarding religion, language and how the divine teaches us. Awestruck. This explains so much more than can be conveyed in my comment. Referencing the hebrew mind by comparing words in the BOM with words in the ancient Hebrew mind, and concepts, as well as actual academic knowledge of how language is formed, allows the divine to couch its knowledge and integrate it with human creativity (which is an academic principle)and code knowledge so it becomes a judge of the heart and not only the objective reality of the law of the jungle. This is lifechanging info folks. In other words if you see an anachronistic word or thought in the BOM the key is to see how that word is represented in the Hebrew mind in the OT (or NT for greek) and what that mind meant in that time and place including the nuances of how languages are formed in every culture. The "errors of men" are when the trail of concepts and thoughts get so lost they are difficult to trace. But lucky for us, there is quite a bit that is not. This then allows the blind to say..you made it all up (your a visionary man) but those with eyes to see (who faithfully meditatively study the scriptures) see clearly. Amazing. (this allows for free agency) It also teaches us that a literal understanding (since that understanding is needed to that individual of that time and place) has to be garnered as a foundation for the future key of disencoding.
I like that you pointed out that the ancient ways came from our first fathers, Adam on down, and not from evolution. The modern secular, evolutionistic view of man is bunk, a false theory, and not the source of civilization.
I have Sephardic heritage and the Cohen Modal Haplotype (though I dont know which CMH yet) and am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. There's more than that but... I needed this. I really appreciate this video. DO MORE. Please.
This helps us understand the roots of our three great religions. Abrahams religion and it shows how people migrated and carried their religious beliefs and cultures with them. I find it interesting.
When you seek answers from the Book of Mormon instead of the Bible, God can't help you because you have turned your back on Him. Therefore this leaves the door open for Satan (II Corinthians 11:14-15) to step into your life with a false christ or prophet showing you signs and wonders to lead you away from the real Jesus of the Bible who is God the Son 2nd person of the Trinity. God Himself warns us about this in: MATTHEW 24:23-24 "Then if anyone says to you, Look, here is the Christ! or There! do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect..." Mormons teach and believe that their jesus is the brother of Satan, which contradicts what God says in His Bible that Jesus is God the Son 2nd person of the Trinity. So Mormons, which Jesus do you believe in? A. Your jesus of the Book of Mormon, who is the brother of Satan. OR B. The Jesus of the Bible, who is God the Son 2nd person of the Trinity.
