My family and I really love the videos! They give us clear details of the lessons of the weekly scripture study. But honestly, we liked it when each video was uploaded on Monday as it serves as a good introduction to each week's scripture study.
This is the first time I've noticed you've gotten something wrong. Limhi's men did not bring back the urim and thummim. Mosiah 8:13 Ammon tells Limhi that Mosiah has interpreters and can translate the plates. We don't know how Mosiah received the urim and thummim, but it's not unlikely that he received them from an angel.
In addition, verses 9-11 in that same chapter say what Limhi's men brought back with them-- the plates, rusted swords, copper & brass breastplates. Not the Urim and Thummim.
I appreciate your viewpoint, but I'm unclear on how skin color relates to one's righteousness. Additionally, I don't see the question you mentioned in the comments thread. Skin tone and specific characteristics likely developed over time "after" people from the Tower of Babel were scattered, and they did not resemble the people of Babylon (modern-day Hillah, Iraq, at the time of scattering). I believe it’s essential to emphasize that race does not determine righteousness. The Bible and the Book of Mormon teach that all humans have a common ancestor, and our appearance does not determine our worth or righteousness before God. In Acts 17:26, the Bible states, " God hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth." Meaning that all humans, regardless of ethnic or physical differences, originate from a single source: Adam and Eve. The Book of Mormon also reflects this concept, "all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile" (2 Nephi 26:33). Additionally, the various ethnicities and skin tones we see today can be traced back to the events of the Tower of Babel described in Genesis 11. In response to humanity's pride and disobedience, God scattered the people and caused different languages to emerge. The Book of Mormon also addresses this concept, noting that the Lord preserved distinct groups and emphasized that " he that repenteth and exerciseth faith, and bringeth forth good works…” is accounted as righteous (Alma 26:22), regardless of their ethnic background. In both the Bible and the Book of Mormon, righteousness comes from the heart and one's relationship with God, rather than from outward appearance, as taught in 1 Samuel 16:7., "man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart." Similarly, the Book of Mormon emphasizes that “the Lord esteemeth all flesh in one; he that is righteous is favored of God” (1 Nephi 17:35). So, it's not about being "black" or "white"; it's about living according to God's will, regardless of our backgrounds or appearances. Ultimately, what truly matters is our spiritual choices and our relationship with God.
@williamreyes6411 It appears the question was removed? It's important to remember that there were righteous and unrighteous nations from the time of Adam and Eve. The question I saw was were the Jeradites black. Yes they were. Studies have proven it and not many people know that information. There are books, church history and many discussions via UA-cam which are slowly unveiling through dedicated religious historians. Each one of us are capable of being righteous, no harm done in mentioning it. The fact that the scriptures mention color reveals that there were difficulties of others accepting differences and we see it today. Heavenly Father deliberately allowed differences to see if *man/woman would adopt unconditional love, as Jesus Christ does for all* Not everyone has that capability to do so. Relationship with God is what matters what we all do on earth - interaction with all living souls and the effect we've all left on individuals, we'll all have to answer to, some day. Christ is our Exemplar and he has taught us how we should be with one another. It is beautiful that we have many nations throughout the world. God is a wonderful man who we should aspire to, and formulate a personal relationship to help us daily with all trials that we face.
I thought Mosiah already had nephite interpreters that he used to translate it. I didn’t know there were two stones along with the record of the jeredites. I could definitely be wrong though!
You are correct when you read Mosiah 8:13, Amon tells King Limhi that king Mosiah had interpreters, and if you continue reading the footnotes it is linked to other scriptures mentioning The Urim and thumin
Yes, Mosiah the elder had the interpreters and gift of interpretation along with the record of the Jaredites, which the Lord had provided to the Brother of Jared.
@@williamreyes6411 awesome (: But the jeredite interpreters were with the jeredite record as well and all was given to Mosiah II? Do we know what set of interpreters Joseph used and what happened to the other pair?
In D&C 17:1, we read that the Urim and Thummim that Joseph received is the one given to the brother of Jared. The people who found the 24 jaredite plates didn't mention the interpreters, only the plates. It is my PERSONAL belief that at one point the Lord removed the interpreters from the Earth and it His time gave them to King Mosiah (or maybe any of his ancestors), just like the Lord provided the Liahona.
And when you compare Lehi's journey to the Promised Land to Jared's journey you see that the Lord kept Lehi's group moving. Jared's group kinda... sat there for a while.

Getting some Living Scriptures Streaming Subscriptions for gifts to family for Christmas!!!
I think it would be even more helpful if it were released earlier in the day. Midnight is pretty late :)
As a Sunday school teacher.... Agreed 😂
And earlier in the week to be used at home
I believe you can have it earlier if you are a paying subscriber. So you do have that option.
Another fantastic video! Thank you!!!
Another amazing video and Home Evening treasure! 💎

Thank-you
Someone placed a question in here, if the Jeradites were black? They were black righteous people.
@caz2870 - How do we know? Do you have the scripture references? I'd love to learn more since I've never learned this before. Thanks!

We love your videos! Thank you so much! Just FYI, the scripture reference at 7:44 is incorrect - you may want to correct that. Thank you!
