The Book of Mormon: Part 12 (Jacob chapters 6-7)

This episode is part 12 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon.In Jacob chapter 6, Jacob uses the allegory of the vineyard from the prophet Zenos mentioned in the previous chapter to call the people of Nephi to reflect and repent. Of course, I point out where I see statements that are borrowed from the Bible.In Jacob chapter 7, Jacob encounters a heretic named Sherem who teaches that no "Christ" will come. After Jacob rebukes him, God strikes Sherem with a fatal illness. Sherem renounces what he taught before. We are left unclear if this was a deathbed conversion or just a heretic fearing judgment from God.I discuss a little about the last statement from the book of Jacob, which is "Brethren, adieu."Further research:Book of Mormon in videoJoseph Smith: The Prophet of the RestorationThe Book of Mormon online: Jacob [chapters 6, 7]*** Please contribute to the Hurricane relief fund for A.M.
