© 2024 An Engineer's Journey through the Book of Mormon
Description
Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@AnEngineersJourneythruth-xz6bw
The Book of Mormon as seen through the eyes of an engineer (my professional training). This does not mean I focus on engineering aspects of book - although these occasionally surface - but rather, it means that things must make sense, people must behave rationally, and things will usually be what they appear to be.
Although the primary audience will be members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (formerly called Mormons), members of other Christian faiths may be interested in exploring as well.
An audience will meet characters such as Nephi, Lehi, Laman, Lemuel, Alma, Helaman, Mormon, Moroni, King Benjamin, Mosiah, and countless others.

Moroni 10 is the final chapter. Moroni describes how to know if the Book of Mormon is true, and encourages his readers to have faith, hope, and charity. I discuss an engineer's perspective on religion. How do I reconcile being reasonable and rational with being religions?

Moroni shares a sermon and two letters from his father Mormon. Mormon's sermon discusses how to become Christlike. His first epistle, Moroni 8, discusses the atonement in the contest of infant baptism. His second epistle, Moroni 9, discusses the depravity of both the Nephi and Lamanite nations.

Moroni was unexpectedly still alive decades after the final battle. He created additional plates and wrote a priesthood manual, hoping it would someday be useful for his brethren, the Lamanites. Email: BOMJourney@gmail.com Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@AnEngineersJourneythruth-xz6bw
Ether, a prophet observing from a cave, warned Coriantumr, the Jaredite king, that if he didn't repent, the Jaredites would be destroyed leaving Coriantumr as the lone survivor. Ether then records the fulfillment of that prophecy. Email: BOMJourney@gmail.com Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@AnEngineersJourneythruth-xz6bw
Moroni tells about Ether, and some of Ether's difficulties as a prophet. He discusses the importance of believing in God unto repentance.

After Christ visits the Americas, class and racial distinctions and the people "have all things in common" for 200 years. Then class distinctions arise, the people become vain and proud. But yet, they have an additional 100 years of peace and wealth. 4th Nephi ends with the Nephites and Lamanites being very wicked.

Christ appears to the people on the American continent, and teaches them the Sermon on the Mount. It is slightly different than the sermon he gave in the old world. Is this because of translation?
