© 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.

Mormon discusses the credibility of his sources. Righteousness prevails, not a living soul doubts. Less than two years later, prophets are slain, the government falls, resulting in complete anarchy.Email: BOMJourney@gmail.comYoutube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@AnEngineersJourneythruth-xz6bw
In response to the Gaddianton robbers' demand that the Nephites and Lamanites surrender their possessions, they unite in a large, concentrated group. They ultimately defeat the robbers.Email: BOMJourney@gmail.comYoutube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@AnEngineersJourneythruth-xz6bw

Samuel the Lamanite preaches to Zarahemla from the city wall, and warns the people of destruction .' He gives signs of the Savior's birth within five years, and of his death. He is rejected.Email: BOMJourney@gmail.comYoutube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@AnEngineersJourneythruth-xz6bw
Having God's power, Nephi caused a famine to prompt the people to repent. They repent, the famine ends, and they return to their evil ways. We discuss repentance vs conversion.Email: BOMJourney@gmail.comYoutube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@AnEngineersJourneythruth-xz6bw
Nephi finds Zarahemla full of wickedness and secret combinations. He warns of destruction if the Nephites don't repent, and prophecies of the coming Messiah. To establish his credibility, he reveals that the chief judge has been murdered, identifies the murder, and reveals how to obtain a confession from the murderer. The people acknowledge the prophecy, but do not change. Nephi is given God's power, and instructed to punish the people for their wickedness. He goes among the people to warn th...
What is the driver behind secret combinations? Why did the Nephites join them, and the Lamanites seek to eradicate them?

The entire chapter of Alma 60 consists of Moroni (wrongfully) reprimanding Pahoran, the chief judge, for failure to send provisions and reinforcements to his military. But a faction had removed Pahoran from his position as chief judge. Moroni raised an army to help restore him to the judgement seat, and then used that same army to defeat the Lamanites and drive them back to their own lands. Then Captain Moroni retired, Helaman died, thousands of Nephites moved north, and the Book of Alma ends...
Helaman sent Moroni an epistle explaining how he and his band of stripling Lamanite soldiers helped Antipus as he used creativity and strategy to retake cities captured by Lamanite forces, despite being badly outnumbered.Email: BOMJourney@gmail.comYoutube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@AnEngineersJourneythruth-xz6bw
