2nd Nephi Chapter 2

 Chapter 2 


Joseph realized, the Smith not the Hebrew one, that hey uh the two sons of Nephi got basically nothing written about them let’s include them now. 


Lehi says Jacob you have suffered much because SOMEBODY was RUDE. At this point Lehi and Nephi are about indistinguishable as characters as Lehi just parrots everything that Nephi says and believes. A shame really. 


Jacob is blessed to be saved because even as a young child he is righteous. Well that was easy. 


Jesus will save all those that believe in him. This will be contradicted later. 


Lehi gives his most persuasive argument for why evil exists and that’s to have all knowledge you must experience evil. This however does not account for the levels of evil people experience or goodness. Experiencing evil doesn’t mean you will experience happiness it just means you could appreciate it. I feel like this could be better learned in heaven and not you know a different test for every godforsaken person. 


Righteousness is key to being god. Asking again why you can’t have happiness if you don’t experience evil. Idk about you but I’m much happier when life isn’t falling apart around me. I appreciate it more after the fact but is that really necessary?


He says that we only do good or evil. Are there not neutral things? Are candy bars evil? Are naps evil? Monty Python and the holy grail is what? What say thee lord!


Satan fell but nobody tempted him. Why is that a difference? Why must we be pulled one way or the other. Mind boggling. 


Men are that they might have joy to which I say what of the problem of evil. No having a candy bar then having one seems sufficient. Why is starvation needed for true joy? 


God knew Satan would be evil and then let him and punished him. Predestination at its finest. 


Laman and Lemuel will choose evil as what Nephi saw so what point is there of punishing or harassing them. We already know what happens! This is just lehi having one last go at his wayward sons!


End of chapter 2

2nd Nephi Chapter 9

  Chapter 9 Jacob prophesies that the Jews will return to Israel and Jesus will come to Jerusalem. Joseph you’ve said this over and over what is the point dude.  The atonement is necessary else god would have to banish us for wickedness. So let’s get this straight he has to save us from the sins he knows we were going to commit but he just lets us do them anyway? Couldn’t we just be taught to not be bad? Yet again another discrepancy with the trinity. It says the holy one of Israel will judge who is Jesus but current teachings say Jesus will be our advocate not the judge while the father judges. Little trinity artifacts everywhere  The righteous will be saved the wicked won’t.  Then some absolutely wild verses. The deaf will be punished if they don’t hear and the blind if they don’t see. Excuse me what goes uncircumcised of heart mean? That’s very not what you do with a heart dude! Just use the beattitudes please! Those who die in their sins will be forced to face th...

Chapter 2 Lehi gathers his family and they flee into the wilderness because nobody cares to Stone you if you run far enough or maybe they just can’t throw that far. Who knows. Need some Nephi arms  Laman and Lemuel are like we were rich and you want us to live in the fucking wilderness? Dude wtf Nephi is like I’m young but I’m buff as hell as spiritual and gifted and I’m sure bragging about this won’t make my brothers hate me If it’s not clear Nephi is Joseph Smith’s stand-in While the church likes to represent him as a buff 20 something given the time period Nephi is probably like 14-16 considering none of his siblings are married. Maybe younger. It’ll make Nephi make a lot more sense.
