Sherem Denies Christ | Jacob 7
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- Sherem preaches to the people against the doctrine of Christ found in the scriptures and contends with the prophet Jacob. Sherem demands to see a sign proving that Christ will come, and he is smitten by the power of God. He speaks one last time to the people, confessing that he denied the Christ and the power of the Holy Ghost, and then dies.
Based on 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.
Hang in there my friend. I sometimes wonder how people I love so dearly can experience a loss of faith so profoundly and not notice the effects on their lives and recognize the difference. Keep setting a good example and loving them and keep the faith. The Lord put you in their path for a reason. ❤️
@@michaelgrey7854 It's good advice to not force belief on anyone or push guilt, but you have zero reason to assume that the man is happier.
Keep praying for your husband,,,zeezrom once denied Christ BUT was converted,
Keep praying mightily for you and your loved ones that they may return to Christ.
He doesn't understand the nature of Christ and his teachings. Send him this video
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.
After baptism we receive a gift of the Holy Ghost, that although we are still sinners, if we exercise the gift we can free ourselves from all sin. As DC says 50: your light shall grow brighter and brighter until the perfect day, and I say these things that you may know truth, that you may chase darkness from among you. 1John1 Fellowship and similar scriptures there are good too. God Bless.
I also received a testimony that the Lds church is true.
Thank you Lucas - I appreciate you
Appreciate your testimony brother.

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!"
Thank you for sharing I too had a similar experience when I joined the church as a 17 yr old. My family are Catholic and gave me a hard time just like you shared and i too knelt down tearfully and poured my heart out to Heavenly Father. My experience was so powerful I never doubted again. Many years later I have been blessed through obedience to have an eternal family where I have married adult children who are also sealed to there spouses and there children. That experience as a 17 yr old was a pivotal moment in my life that led me on a course of many wonderful blessings.
Same here, brothers! It is amazing how the Spirit brings comfort and reassurances when we go through challenges. I am also a convert and my inactive Catholic family gave me a hard time when I was 27 years old, time in which I became LDS. I prayed and the Spirit filled my heart and mind with peace and even love for my family. Thanks to both of you for sharing! Blessings! Let´s keep it forward in faith.
Sending so much love to you. I have alot of love for those in Palestine. Thank you for sharing your experience.♥️♥️♥️
I had a very similar expeiance. Even more, a lot of similar experiances. I feel what has happened to you and hopefully your brother will be forgiven by our father in heaven.
I had little experience like that but i perservered in attending the church and felt the love of God. After 30 years, i understand my parents who werent arguing about the gospel but my safety. Now my son is gone from the gospel because we were concern about the safety of his beliefs. Keep loving your family and serve them everyday. God bless u.
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.
I hope Sherem found mercy and that all those deceived by him found Christ.
I would error on the side of mercy. God is so very merciful.
@@adamv4951 It's true. Without repentance, we would be a lost sheep.
For Sherem, God would be perfectly just and merciful. As for the people: Jacob 7:23 "And it came to pass that peace and the alove of God was restored again among the people; and they bsearched the scriptures, and hearkened no more to the words of this wicked man."
He did confess his sin. Who is to say he died in his sins?
Jacob has such love as Sherem is arguing with him. Jacob looks like he even feels sorry for him. Great acting and directing.
Despite persecution, Jacob is not afraid to say what is unpopular. We would do well to give our own unique testimonies of Christ.
That is one of the signs of a true prophet.
I agree Awesome Astronaught, and in my own experience and apart of my unique testimony is sometimes there is nothing left to say, and only time will tell what the Lord and Heavenly Father will do to someone who did as "Sherem". For me I would hope the case of "Sherem" is similar to a child who says they hate their parents and begins to rebel, when only years or so later they feel the weight and begin to seek forgiveness. I hope I'll be ready to accept a changed heart back into the fold. I should not enjoy or look forward to a mind/heart that's been deceived.
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.
He is my Savior!
@Mike For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy - Rev: 19 :10
@Mike "Mormon" when used to refer to a religion is only a nickname and you know it. There is only one president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and other religions are not affiliated with the Church and there's no reason to bring them up here. Of course the term "prophet" has a more broad meaning, and of course members of the Church of Jesus Christ listen only to the true prophets who lead the Church. These are all given, and it's disingenuous for you to converse based on any other assumption.
The Book of Mormon is surprisingly appropriate for us, here, now. I believe it's true with my whole heart.
A lot of the time we just think of scripture as being generally good, but sometimes the applicability just jumps out at us, doesn't it?
@Bon Jovi Basically in this video/scenario God said, "Oh you want a sign, do you? Here ya go wise guy!"
A very angry, malicious, punitive, and quite frankly cruel response from a "loving father." Nasty. There is one attribute of God blatantly missing from this exchange: mercy. I can't worship or love a being who I have to walk on eggshells with. All my years in the church it was the same message about never, ever being enough.... and don't ask too many questions.
@@astrangerhere Would it be more loving and merciful to let Sherem continue on for many more years of sealing a worse eternal fate, or to accommodate his request for a sign and do it in such a way that Sherem could recognize his great mistakes and perhaps repent to some degree? Life lasts for only a few years and then we all will die, but our eternal judgment lasts forever. Sherem was honest before God before dying; that's better than forging his soul in sin for many more years before dying. Sherem's fate was uncommon, and of course we don't have to worry about "walking on eggshells" for fear of dying, but we are blessed every time we follow God's counsel and we deny ourselves those blessings when we choose not to follow His counsel.
As to not "being enough", I feel like I've spoken about this with you before, but none of us are "enough" by ourselves. We all fall short of God's glory on our own merits. However, with the grace and power of Jesus Christ, *all* of us are enough.
Asking questions isn't a bad thing--it's a good thing. However, asking questions without allowing God to answer them would be bad.
"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
This is off the top of my head, so I don't accurately remember this quote😟
J.J. Karren I remember this well. President Benson was correct. Thank you for sharing it.
Benson was actually quoting Brigham Young here
A Stranger Here Yes, it was a quote from Brigham Young, a beautiful one that has always brought me comfort & happiness.
I like this quote as well:
“I am perfectly satisfied that my Father and my God is a cheerful, pleasant, lively, and good-natured Being. Why? Because I am cheerful, pleasant, lively, and good-natured when I have his Spirit. That is one reason why I know; and another is―the Lord said, through Joseph Smith, ‘I delight in a glad heart and a cheerful countenance.’ That arises from the perfection of his attributes; he is a jovial, lively person, and a beautiful man.” - Heber C. Kimball
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
@@michaelgrey7854 There can not be decit and lies if the holy ghost is testifying the truth directly to you. My faith has been elevated to truthfulness that I can now never doubt after the power of the Holy Ghost was manifested on to me to the point that it left me shaken months after the experience. ; )
@@michaelgrey7854 I think you missed the point. It's obvious Sherem was the liar due to the fact that his arguments didn't run straight. He said that no man can know if Christ will come, and then seconds later he said that he knew there wouldn't be a Christ.
Great performance by the guy playing Sherem!
These are more and more powerful every week. I am so thankful to have these and to share them with others
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.
Truths taught in the Book of Mormon are so very applicable today. Truly the word of God!
Yeah, we're going to need this one in particular next year.
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.
Sherem pulls off haughty so well! LOL. Jacob pulls off humble, faithful, and earnest so well too!
This video is _very_ well acted. So impressed!
Bill Carlson I get that in abundance from the scriptures themselves. But thanks so much. What have you learned of late?
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
Excellent message! The importance of heeding the words of living prophets.
Excellent message... which is that if you don't believe what we believe then God will kill you??? How is this an excellent message?
@@scottvance74 Just try understanding. A small effort will go a long way.
S Vance That wasn’t the point of the video. It was about faith through adversity, or more specifically, faith even when your beliefs are attacked. Obviously God doesn’t kill every person who disagrees with our beliefs, because you are obviously still alive, as is most of the planet.
Lets appreciate the soundtrack in these videos. It has a Gladiator feel to it
Fool's mock but they shall mourn, Christ will come again
I look forward to these every week! It's so great to see these stories depicted so well.
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.
We live in strange and dark times but I find that the gospel light shines brighter. I find great comfort in looking toward that light. Visited a friend yesterday who I miss and for this moment is not coming to church. This person took their eyes off the light and gazed into the dark and stepped inside. That was so sad... We're still friends though but I keep looking into the light which gives me peace in a dark world.
Incidentally they were not reading their scriptures... which reminds me... I got to go do that ... got distracted ... wooops
@@lydiastevenson8502 keep praying for your friend..
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.
The Church website scriptures now include an exerpt from the Book of Mormon videos by clicking on the small square icon to the right of the scripture to which it applies. Yes I agree Cindy that it is wonderful. Our Bishop pointed out that when the scene is acted out it can bring another dimension to the scripture. That happened with me when Nephi's character learned how the Liahona worked by faith and diligence. His wonderment of learning something new showed. 13:40-14:10 The Lord Guides Lehi's Journey.
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."
I have watch these every day when I read my sceiptures and they are really good
I was deeply moved when Sherem repented of his inquiry!
God will not be mocked!
The thing I noticed is that Jacob said, "as thou KNOW." And Sherem was shocked because he was caught out in his evil intent. Yet he persisted. When the consequences hit, it seems like he did a death-bed repentance, because now he worried most about what would happen to HIM. I got the feeling he was sad he'd been caught, but not his tries to turn believers away from the Savior, or his denying the Holy Spirit. Those were my impressions. But my heart was very moved that there were those who hoped he'd be forgiven.
I heard a young man give his testimony on a Fast Sunday years ago. He had never learned about the Holocaust, never heard of it. Then he took a class where he learned all about it and saw "the pictures" and footage. He said he was in such shock he couldn't sleep or eat for days. When he finally fell asleep, he had a dream. He found himself in a completely black place, and voices were screaming and agonized. He heard a man call out, "Can I ever be forgiven?" And he heard himself answer, "I don't know, Adolph, but you're my brother and I love you." And I learned how crucial it is that we believe our Redeemer when He exhorts us to have His pure love and forgiveness for ALL our brothers and sisters.
I love this chapter
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!
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.
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.
On the contrary, our mistakes makes us more willing to be open to the words of Christ. This is why the BOM teaches that "opposition must exist in all things" that's where true conversion happens.
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.
Great quality! I nice to see what the book of Mormon might have looked like.
Thank you for bringing the Book of Mormon to life. Truly from God.🇦🇺👍🙏
The demeanor of Sherem looks so much like the countenance of a UA-cam 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.
Oh not this guy. He would be better on learning charity than learning how to argue
I am not the only one who seen that too!
I didn't see this on the episode list, so glad they made this one
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.
Touching! 👍
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)
So let me get this right, God kills people who don't have the correct beliefs about him? And this makes for good entertainment because it makes you feel justified in your beliefs? And this is what makes someone a good Christian - watching people with different beliefs die?
@@JaefarSABNW Differing in belief is also not what Sherem was really doing.
@@scottvance74 Ever heard of the great and dreadful day of the lord? Great for his people. Dreadful for those who oppose him? Yes he will kill them in his wrath and anger. But that won't happen until later down the road. For now, he allows them to stay here and continue their lives in the hope that they will change. Have you never read Isaiah? He destroys the wicked to save their souls and move them on into the next life, where hopefully they will change. They will no longer be able to damage people's testimonies on the earth. It is an act of mercy as well in behalf of those wicked people by a God who knows what is best for them. In some cases, being killed is the best he can do in order to save their souls. A good Christian is one who is preparing to meet God, and doing their best to follow His Gospel. A Christian refrains from judgment and is charitable. They let God judge others like how Jacob did.
@@frenlyfren Hmmmm does that mean these will be corrected in the spirit world when they go through the veil and see his face?
@@germanslice I don't know. I hope so, but it will be up to them. If they want nothing to do with Christ then they probably won't change their minds. I don't know.
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.
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.
I love how Jacob mourned the loss of Sherem.
This is the best way to learn the Book of Mormon 😁🥰😍😘 it’s A+
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.
Good and great video
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
me too
maybe it's hard for them to do the stage design of the allegory of the tame and wild olive tree so they skipped it.
but it'll be amazing if they created it.
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
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.
Pertaining to those who continue to deny Christ: will you escape the "apocalypse" which will come, unless you repent? Begin to believe in Him.
Your portrayal is completely based in fear, essentially saying "believe before it's too late."
Myself I love my saviour and my redeemed more than things of this World.
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.
I hope God will be merciful unto Sherem. For he did confess his sins, and whether he forsook or not we do not know.
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.
Me too.
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
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)
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
Moses testified of that Prophet who is Jesus Christ

Seeing the story is so much more powerful than just reading it.
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.
He spoke as constrained by the Holy Spirit.
At home seminary because of CorOnA virUs :(
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 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
AWESOME!!
love it
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.
Very powerful & inspired videos!
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.
Huh. I'd never thought of that. Thank you for your insight.
Whoa....great insight!
Are these videos in order.
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.
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 ?

How can anyone deny the Christ over 4 centuries before His incarnation, ministry, death, burial, and resurrection? That is totally illogical.
Nope, the Nephites and some other people knew some details about Christ many centuries before his mortal life. It was prophesied.
Out of curiosity, in which country were these scenes filmed? Are the actors and actresses all members of the local LDS?
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
@@d.charlespyle - "what we have left of the Bible" shows us you had to be a Levite to be a priest - uh oh - B of M is not authentic in it's description of Hebrew Life
- Jews don't keep Holy Records at some drunks house - they don't debate "Christ" for 400 years just to have NOBODY claim "it's the same Jesus Christ we all heard about"
- and then have all the WRITTEN records of Christ destroyed by Devout Christians
- if you want to give a Testimony that the B of M is True and yes there were elephants in America in the Era described... I'm all ears
byronofcalgary You’re right, they didn’t keep holy records at “some drunk’s house.” They kept them at the house of a local military authority who was a descendant of Joseph, who apparently was also a drunk. Your understanding of this book and its context is shallow.
@@byronofcalgary6985 Elephant ears? :-)
@Ethan Morrill We have eyewitness proof in the testimonies of the three and eleven, and Joseph Smith's himself.
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 !
That's a great question! I don't know if they kept all of the Kosher tenets, but there is no mention of pigs or pork among these settlers (or Nephites) in the Book of Mormon, just cattle, so I assume they at least avoided pork. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints don't have any restrictions on eating pork today (since we view the Law of Moses as having been fulfilled in Christ); however, we do have a health code called the Word of Wisdom which we believe to be divinely inspired, which cautions to eat meat sparingly. This is also the same health code that cautions against any usage of alcohol and tobacco, among other things.
To add to what Collin Jensen said, there are several mentions throughout the Book of Mormon of them keeping the law of Moses, right up until Jesus Christ introduced the new law in Him.
Were there pigs in the new world? If not, that might explain the reason why specifically not eating pork isn't addressed.
Well, the Book makes it clear that they kept the Law of Moses, but it does not give the Law in great detail. However, Nephi said in that the Law of Moses was recorded in a separate record they had, the brass plates. So, we have no reason to assume they did not follow those same doctrines until Christ came. There are even chapters in 3 Nephi discussing how people thought they could stop following the law of Moses at Christ’s birth, and how they needed to be corrected. But hey, if you want to learn more, I’d recommend you read the text yourself. References start as early as 1 Nephi 2.

There are many modern day Sherems , even here on UA-cam , 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 ) !!
And some of them are right here in these comments.
@@kellysmithmarketing Oh how cute. Another pronouncement wherein you claim to know the hearts, minds, lives, experiences, adversities, and complexities of people about whom you know nothing more than a screen name on youtube. Don't look down, it's a long way to fall off that high horse.
@@astrangerhere It's not such an unfair thing to say when some people are displaying the same behavior as Sherem, attacking people's beliefs as Sherem did. I don't see anyone claiming to know people's "hearts, minds, lives, experiences, adversities, and complexities". Some people simply are denying the faith of the latter-day saints and mocking, and that is what was mentioned. Don't read too much into it. I don't doubt that many people have been overly judgmental before, but that's not what I'm seeing here.
You did well on this one.
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.
Romnick Cian Jaropojop u joined a white people religion just to be “different “
Romnick Cian Jaropojop you’re bakla!!!
@@aslscott78 When I attended the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Ivory Coast, the state of Georgia, and other places it was clearly not a "white people religion". As Ethan said, the Church of Jesus Christ is for everyone.
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!
Because Sherem knew. He knew what he was doing, and the devil taught him what to say.
This is the taste of a liar.

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.
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.
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.
I think sometimes God lets a wicked person live to allow them to do the works they wish, which will stand as evidence against them in the last day. Other times, God judges that, in this case, it is better for one person to die than the Lord's purposes be frustrated (paraphrasing 1 Nephi 3: 13). I'm sorry that you have been unjustly hurt. Except appropriate legal responses, all you can do is trust in the Lord's timing. All evil will be repaid, some now and some then.
You're part of the problem.
@@jrh98033 That's not nice. 😒
@DJ Chiesa Because this life is a test we must face evil everyday to truly know how to overcome it and help others on their way. Christ and every Prophet and follower of him had to face terrible things, many of them martyred for speaking the truth. Even then it is expected of us to forgive them who mistreat us otherwise you live with the same bitter resentment they had for you. I hope you see this comment, trust me Forgiveness can work miracles in your life😊
@@jrh98033 how unkind

People : denies god jesus christ

Sherem sounds like every has-been on Facebook these days.
The Book of Mormon is true
Who's Sherman? I guess Sherman needed to take Moron's promise and pray if Jeebus was real.
@@shawnlarrabee45 The guy with the tank I think. Hahah
Edit
Autocorrect got me
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.
@@sanadika1 Do you suppose there was only one Nephite city? Reason dictates that as the Nephites multiplied they did not all stay in one place but scattered to other areas and created towns.
@Nehumi Onetaka no, the Nephites hadn't discovered the Mulekites at this point
Or it's just another way of saying that one of them moved about among them. I do believe that other peoples were near, but I don't think this language is evidence of that.
@@cumomsandcureloms I was thinking more about this recently. When my family was reading this a little while back, I noticed the words in verse 4 that state that Sherem "was learned, that he had a perfect knowledge of the language of the people". That actually would sound kind of strange if he were originally from the people of Nephi, so I'm inclined to think that he probably was from somewhere nearby but came to know the Nephites well. I think the verses together do support the idea of other people being nearby.
hi
I have to say, despite the fact that he's totally wrong, Sherem is a good debater. That's a bad sign....
