It's the same method by which teenage missionaries who know little about life and less about thr gospel are able to convert millions of people to the true church every year! No, wait, that's not quite right...Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14724409661360473452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4172451149432147710.post-88768153655961675512015-05-30T18:19:39.912-04:002015-05-30T18:19:39.912-04:00What I found interesting about this chapter was ve...What I found interesting about this chapter was verse 3, none of these people knew who God was apparently, they all JUST decided they were going to follow the commandments and the king goes and appoints some of these people as priests to teach the others...I don't know about you but what kind of teacher is gonna be able to teach others about something they know nothing about themselves????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4172451149432147710.post-52188850443881174372013-07-08T04:54:05.463-04:002013-07-08T04:54:05.463-04:00Haha!

Those stubborn Nephites--can't be bothered to farm the land for their own sustenance without a firm hand to guide them!<br /><br />Or maybe Joseph Smith didn't have a good concept of what it is that rulers actually had to do. So he decided they had to be in charge of growing food.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14724409661360473452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4172451149432147710.post-61276673591634604622013-07-07T09:33:33.121-04:002013-07-07T09:33:33.121-04:00It's amazing to me how you are able to find so...It's amazing to me how you are able to find so many oddities and inconsistencies in every single chapter. Nice work!<br /><br />The "till the earth" comment was very strange. I did a BOM search of "till" and find it odd how many times it is mentioned previous to this generation (Adam, Jared, Nephi, Enos, Jarom). There are even a couple of times they made tools to till the earth and had an abundance of crops, yet Mosiah had to cause them to start growing crops again. Even more odd is he has to make them farm again in chapter 9 and then again in chapter 10. <br /><br />Hey, maybe we should "liken" them to many kids today who won't help with the garden unless you make them, or should I say "cause" them (with the rod, of course).<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
