I have see this one of your podcasts and all are so well presented but I just now saw the podcast on 23-29 of Alma. OUTSTANDING.!!!So many eye openers: burying swords, giving of your own life, etc. I write this here because there was no place to make a comment on the version I saw. Came as an email. So I write it here and encourage all to see it. Best one ever from beginning to end.
“I am the Law of Moses.” WOW 😮
Brother Hilton your classes always have such inspiration and give others thoughts on these study chapters. I've been home less for a while and I know that I had protection and help with contacting family. I love the faith in the new people Amon or Anti Nephi Lehi Such faith and happiness in learning Truths or Gospel It's Joyful ❤ 29:06 Thank you for each class 32:53
I can't begin to tell you what a positive impact your Master Class has had on me. I listen to a lot of podcasts relating to the Come Follow Me program and yours is always the one I remember most . The stories you tell that relate to the scriptures are very timely and memorable. You are an exceptional teacher and orator. I want to thank you for ALL you do to bring us closer to Christ and His!Glorious Gospel!❤
You pointed out Anti-Nephi-Lehi has a unique voice in the BoM calling God “our great God.” I find this super interesting considering a few chapters earlier in Alma 18 and Alma 22 we read about Ammon and Aaron teaching King Lamoni and his father. Alma 18 we read “5 Now this was the tradition of Lamoni, which he had received from his father, that there was a Great Spirit. Notwithstanding they believed in a Great Spirit.” Then later “26 And then Ammon said: Believest thou that there is a Great Spirit? 27 And he said, Yea. 28 And Ammon said: This is God. And Ammon said unto him again: Believest thou that this Great Spirit, who is God, created all things which are in heaven and in the earth?” The Lamanites called their deity “great spirit” until Ammon and Aaron taught them that this “great spirit” was actually the “great God.” It makes sense this would become God’s title for them as this was their tradition and what they had been taught. Also, I find it interesting I searched the word “great” through these chapters and the Lamanites constantly use the word “great” throughout all their speech! JS is a G for real haha
Helping true refugees is definitely Christlike. However in this day and age there are a lot of people that are not actual refugees but just wanting to take advantage of opportunities in this country. But they are perfectly capable of living a life in their own country. We can’t take all 60 million so I think as long as refugees are properly vetted so we know that they are legitimate we shouldDefinitely help them. And it’s important since the Lord requires us to follow the laws of the land that we bring refugees in legally. So we can be perfectly honest
Agree, it’s really hard to know.
Christianity was created by plagiarizing Hinduism: VIRGIN BIRTH Hinduism: Baby Karna was born from the Princess Kunti who was unmarried and a virgin. Christianity: Baby Jesus was born from the Virgin Mary. HUMBLE BIRTH Hinduism: Sri Krishna was born in King Kansa's dungeon where his parents were jailed. Christianity: Jesus was born in a manger. THE ESCAPE Hinduism: Baby Krishna was secretly taken away by Vasudeva from Mathura City to Gokul Village to save Baby Krishna from King Kansa. Christianity: Jesus was secretly taken away to Egypt from Israel & Judea to save Jesus from King Herod. THE SLAUGHTER OF CHILDREN Hinduism: King Kansa had children slaughtered in order to kill his nephew Baby Krishna. Christianity: King Herod had children slaughtered in order to kill Baby Jesus. PREDICTION OF THE BIRTH OF A DIVINE CHILD Hinduism: The birth of the saviour/avatar is predicted generations before the actual birth eg the birth of Sri Rama and Sri Krishna. Christianity: The birth of Baby Jesus is predicted generations before the actual birth of Baby Jesus. PERFORMING MIRACLES Hinduism: Sri Rama and Sri Krishna performed miracles. Christianity: Jesus performed miracles. FLOATING A BABY DOWN THE RIVER Hinduism: Baby Karna was placed in a basket and floated down a river till he was pulled from the river. Christianity: Moses was placed in a basket and floated down the river till he was pulled from the river. THE GREAT FLOOD Hinduism: Sri Vishnu told Manu that a great flood would occur and Manu built a large boat to escape the flood. Christianity: Bible God told Noah that a flood would occur and Noah built a large boat to escape the flood. TEACHINGS FROM GOD IN HUMAN FORM Hinduism: Sri Vishnu in the form of of Sri Krishna conversed with Arjuna and gave teachings (Bhagavad Gita) to Arjuna. Christianity: Christian/Bible God took human form to converse with and give teachings to Moses on Mount Sinai. RETURN TO EARTH Hinduism: Sri Krishna will return brandishing a sword and riding a white horse. Christianity: Jesus will return brandishing a sword and riding a white horse.

RESURRECTION Hinduism: Lakahman was resurrected through the use of sanjivani herb applied on his mortal wound. ShukrAcharya used Sanjivani Vidya to resurrect the Asuras. Christianity: Jesus resurrects dead people. Jesus is resurrected after dying. PARTING THE RIVER Hinduism: When Baby Krishna's foot touched the waters of the Yamuna River the waters of the Yamuna River parted and made way for Vasudeva and Baby Krishna. Christianity: Moses parted the Red Sea. WELCOMING GOD AS KING Hinduism: Sri Rama after spending 14 years in exile as a DEMON SLAYER was welcomed as king, with great pomp and ceremony into the city of Ayodhya. Christianity: Jesus was welcomed as king riding a donkey. CELIBATE GOD Hinduism: Hanuman was a celibate. Christianity: Jesus was a celibate. Before the advent of Christianity, Greeks, Romans, Jews, etc were travelling to Undivided India to trade. When in India they learned much including philosophy, religion, spirituality, etc from Hindu Scriptures and took "Krishna Niti" aka "Krishna's Wisdom" to the Roman Empire. 'Krishna Niti' was adulterated to create 'Christianity'. The Christian Bible was authored by adulterating Hindu Scriptures that existed for thousands of years before the advent of Christianity.
Thank you so much!!! Amaizing class!!
Thank you so much! Love the detailed explanation of "being swallowed up". Awesome 👌 job! I love this class. And I learn so much from you.
My most favourite 10 words from the Book of Mormon. I will give away all my sins to know thee. Thank you very much for sharing.
Thank you
👌!
I have faith lord that you will heal me I want to live lord give me this chance I believe I believe I believe I thank you in Jesus mighty name Amen 🙏
This video actually effected me Emotionally speaking. I shed a tear over this; which i didn't expect.
Thank you so much!!
You're welcome!
Such great lessons I’m hearing you share Thanks for your wonderful time and testimony I seem to understand wonderful truths from you
You are so welcome! :)
A wonderful lesson! Thank you! ❤🇨🇦
Brother Hilton, hearing your little confession (s) obviously brings to mind each listeners also, including me. It is also a fascinating lesson I am learning with regards to documenting trials and sorrows, not just positive things, which of course, now that I see it in black an white is Pollyannishly prosposterous to think people only want to hear from /about successes. I just remember getting a Christmas letter one year that was more like a dump of depressing highlights. I determined that day, that I would mine my shining gems for my Christmas letters instead of my lumps of coal. I think now just being authentic and gleaning with proper reflection in whatever is real but not wallowing in the misery is what the Spirit can testify as to the blessing of the atonement in whatever circumstance we actually live. Ahh wisdom with age and suffering... who knew?
Thank you for sharing these thoughts!!
Thank you Brother Hilton for your message! You are inspired and have a calm and soothing voice.
Thank you for your kind words!
Thank you for sharing your DVD story (and also your experience in Jerusalem). I have a somewhat similar situation. I’m sorry to say that I’m still not quite able to give up the “little” thing that He has asked of me. I know that this seemingly small rebellion is holding me back from so much. Unfortunately, every time I bury it, I choose a shallow hole, inconvenient but accessible. I think I may need to change my perspective. Like your students, there is a bright side to giving up my entertainment choices that are not in keeping with the gospel standard. I’ve been too focused on the wrong part of the equation. Thanks for the great points to ponder.
Thanks for these thoughts...I'm convenient you can find a way to bury it DEEP!
Muchas gracias...por seguro nesecitaba escuchar éste mensaje hoy.
Me alegre que este en esta clase! :)
Our everythings our Lord
Seeing these scenes from the New Testament come to life on screen is beautiful and powerful. Praise Jesus, Lord of all Creation!
Excellent insights, thank you, Brother Hilton.
Thanks for being a part of the Master Class!
There is no better scene or episode thus far. I am open to arguments!
OK, I'll take the bite...what about Season 2, healing Jesse at the pool of Bethesda... "You don't need this pool...you only need me!" WOW! (But both scenes are good!)
@johnhiltoniii my previous favorite was the water to wine at the wedding!❤️ But that's not an argument sir.😉
Beautiful topics: Swallowed up in victory, discernment and Abish.
These are powerful principles!
Glory to our lord! I give my life to you dear Jesus, I will live my life by your words to the best of my abilities.❤
"Wake up Little Lamb" I broke down sobbing. Jesus is Lord 🙏
Awesome! Thank you again!!!❤❤
He sounds reluctant to Mary…..because the literal words are mandatory here…..go to Young’s Literal because Jesus is quoting an ancient idiom….used by Eliseus right before Eliseus produced tons of water for three armies in 2 Kings 3:13…”what to me and to you” is said by Eliseus then and Jesus repeats it at Cana. All paraphrasing translations are false and cover up this connection. Jesus would have previously discussed Eliseus with Mary to get her ready for the miracles Jesus would do….both Eliseus and Jesus….multiplied loaves….cured leprosy….raised a dead child to life….produced a needed liquid. Mary feared the miracle period because it would bring on Jesus’ arrest and death given Deut.13:1-5 which mandated the death of any worker of wonders who then taught of other gods……the Trinity….to some Jews. Mary thus feared Jesus being arrested if he produced the wine too publicly……so Jesus quotes Eliseus….” What to me and to you, woman dearest, my hour ( to die) has not yet come.” How did I get woman dearest…from gynai? It means that when the woman is suffering within herself. Go to John 20:13 two angels address the weeping Mary Magdalene with… “woman” gynai. Go to John 20:15, Mary turns around and Jesus who she thinks is the gardener says to her “ Woman, why are you weeping…”. When Jesus sees her suddenly energetic and demanding to know where his body is, He addresses her with her name, verse 16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” Likewise Jesus knows Mary is suffering with fear just in asking for the miracle. All present Protestant and Catholic translations of John 2:4 are paraphrases and are totally off point. The literal connects Mary to Eliseus…what to me and to you. Jesus was addressing Mary’s fear of his being arrested. He was saying in our words….Dearest…I won’t get arrested this fast for doing a sign…of course I’ll help.
So enjoy learning with YOU!
Thank you!! :)
Thanks brother Hilton for all your time you put in teaching us the gospel of Jesus Christ more deeply I truly enjoy your classes.
I really appreciate your kind words!
TALITHA/LITTLE GIRL.....HEALD BY JESUS WITH A SINGLE TOUCH...
Brother Hilton, thanks for this wonderful video. I especially loved how you pointed out that we shouldn't compare. It's easy for me to see how the missionaries in the BoM shouldn't compare their missions and results, but how you likened the scriptures to our modern day with your message of not comparing our families was powerful. Thank you!
thank you so much!
As always, so wonderfully said!
Brother Hilton, do you consider performing magic tricks for others service? I hope you do. I am still waiting to see some good tricks. :)
stay tuned... ;)
The portrat of this miracle is so much more powerful in the mini series, Jesus of Nazareth.
I took the latest conference Liahona, and a Book of Mormon to my daughter's place but left without giving them to her as she said she is a critical thinker, so doesn't go to Catholic church any more. Your religion is wrong too mum. I got home and read Don't judge whether they are ready. I only see her once every two years!
Keep those conversations and prayers going!!
Wonderful how Jesus' majesty made it impossible for anything to happen to Him before His appointed time. Further evidence that He truly was the Son of God and chose to lay down His life voluntarily for us.
As a child, she would have gone to heaven. So, Jesus just denied her entrance and prolonged her test.
This was so good, really spoke to me. Thank you!
Wonderful! Thank you! ❤🇨🇦
The distant future. One that no one knows when. But only God does.
Thanks for sharing your insights in this master class. 😀
omg
Jesus borrowed my baby daughter who dreams of daddy in heaven till we meet again my darling angel Precios I never got over it I get through it each day till Jesus the resurrection and life brings her to me when we meet again in happiness and joy
Love this.
I'm not sure you could say all things that are not desired are bad but difficult. Imho bad and/or difficult things happen to good people because God gives everyone their agency to follow whom they will, either Himself or satan and we know that satans ideologies are difficult at best. So like in the city of amonnihah (sp) those who were following satans ideologies were ok with destroying the scriptures and the women and children because of their belief in them and the words of Alma and Amulick (sp). That choice to burn the scriptures and murder the women and children allowed God's punishment to be just and allowed the women and children to be rewarded by God in His infinite mercy. As you can not control others choices difficult and even bad things may happen because of their choices, you are only required to be humble and loving no matter what.
It is a hard lesson that we can't control others choices, but to trust in God is the choice that brings us peace!
Thank you.
