If I could ask them one question . . . Come Follow Me, Lesson 9

Post by annotatedbom »

Annotated BoM starting at 2 Nephi 26
Come Follow Me, lesson 9, Feb. 24 - March 1, 2 Ne 26-30

If I wanted to encourage thought and try to understand devout believers better, I might ask:  
"Is it okay to make it difficult to understand certain things about the Church?"

Click here to see the Things to consider for this lesson.

And, I added a Google Custom Search bar to the site (toward the top on the right side). Now you can look up "Anachronism" or "all this was done in Mormon, yea, by the waters of Mormon, in the forest that was near the waters of Mormon; yea, the place of Mormon, the waters of Mormon, the forest of Mormon." (Sorry, that last reference is a passage that never ceases to tickle me :))

Enjoy!

Nice article - but you missed the examples where Abraham lied about Sarah, and when Nephi lied (put on a disguise to get the plates)... but you know.. ...lie a little, take the advantage of one because of his words, dig a pit for thy neighbor; there is no harm in this;... catch them with guile :D

Hahaa! You keep this up, and I'll soon think you're actually no angel at all :)

:lol: I almost went with "fallen angel" instead of angel, but then decided to keep it ambiguous ;) you found me out!
