Psalm 18:30; “As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.”
When we trust and follow the Lord’s counsel we don’t have conflicting messages in a gospel that holds no power! PTL!!!
The Lamanites are a people group – a race, nation. How could a group of one race or nation (Ishamelites) become another group or race (Lamanites)? I don’t become Canadian whenever I drive north. And I don’t become a member of the neighbor’s family when I walk next door to visit.
