Read the Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 14 - The Church of the Lamb of God

I discuss 1 Nephi 14.

An angel tells Nephi of the blessings and cursings to fall upon the Gentiles—There are only two churches: the Church of the Lamb of God and the church of the devil—The Saints of God in all nations are persecuted by the great and abominable church—The Apostle John will write concerning the end of the world. About 600--592 B.C.

Read the Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 13 - Plain and Precious Parts of the Gospel of the Lamb

Read the Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 12 - Christ Will Come to the New Land of Promise


I discuss 1 Nephi 12.


A question from yesterday on the interpretation of the "great and spacious buiding" in the Tree of Life. Is it symbolic of the fear in man of man?
In this new chapter, Nephi foresaw the visit of Jesus Christ to the Americas. He also foresaw the destruction of his people.

Read the Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 11 - The Lord Opens Nephi's Eyes to The Tree of Life

The Tree of Life is the Love of God. The iron rod is the Word of God. The Word of God may simply be the inspiration that we receive from Him. Could we possibly have the faith to experience this same vision?

Read the Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 4 - Expedience and Ethics

Click here to listen to today's topic. I discuss 1 Nephi 4.

How can a man such as Nephi hold an unseen being accountable for telling him to kill a man? That is a tough, tough, tough call. Who can balance expedience with ethics? What is the definition of being a truly ethical human being?

Listen in to today's episode:

What makes a prophet a "prophet" or a prophetess a "prophetess"? I think it is for those who possess the spirit of prophecy and revelation.
What is the spirit of prophecy and revelation? It is the testimony of Jesus.
