2 Nephi 32:3; “Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore, they speak the words of Christ. Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do.”
2 Peter 1:3-4; “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”
I’m not sure if I’ve met a Mormon who believes the Bible can be trusted, or that it serves as a precious promise Peter spoke of in his epistle.
When I left Mormonism I didn’t know how to use God’s word as a daily blueprint for my daily life, and only referred to it if I felt ‘in the mood’ to read the first chapter, or so of Matthew. The concept of applying what I had read into my daily life was a long shot at best. I’ve learned over the years my experience was unfortunately, pretty typical of most Mormons.
As you might expect, our concerns with the passage in 2nd Nephi are many so let’s take a look at a few things!
1.How do you feast upon the words of Christ when you don’t trust His word?
2.How does someone know how to apply what you’ve read when no instructions are provided on how to do so?
3.Why was Nephi using the Greek word ‘Christ’ circa BC 400? Jesus hadn’t even been born yet!
4.Why haven’t Mormons heeded the words of Christ, i.e. marriage and racism?
