August 25 – Four Events in Ether… Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

There are four events in the book of Ether giving more proof the Book of Mormon is a false gospel. The scenarios are good to remember when witnessing to your Mormon friends because of how impossible it’d be for all these things to simultaneously exist.
The book of Ether would have you believe the land was covered in a severe drought, and people were dying off fast. Meanwhile, it also claims the land was densely covered with cities, buildings, grains, flocks, and herds. They also want you to believe the land was densely covered w/ forests and their animals, and heavily covered w/ people.
As you read over these claims, keep a couple of questions in mind;
Do any of these scenarios sound plausible independently? What about all four of them taking place simultaneously? Ask a Mormon for their opinion about all this! Finally, does this scenario help, or deter us from Paul’s admonition? Are these things praiseworthy? How does the Mormon grow closer to Jesus with this supposedly sacred canon?
