January 23 – The Promise. God explicitly told Abraham the promise of his seed would come through the lineage of Isaac. Gen. 17:19; “And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant and with his seed after him”.

Sunday School – Old Testament: Lesson 9

As with most of their lessons this next one has a tiny bit of truth mixed in with a whole bunch of nonsense, I hope to adequately address both in the following paragraphs. The premise of lesson 9 centers on sacrifice, it gives a biblical account of Abraham’s attempt to sacrifice Isaac and touches on this being a similitude of God’s willingness to sacrifice Jesus.
Mormon Dilemma 46

For this dilemma we’re looking at the story of Ishmael. When I became a Christian, surprised and shocked couldn’t really fit the description of my reaction to what I was learning. I don’t know what it’s like to be a “normal” person who came to Christ and learning the truth about God so all I can refer to is my experience as a member of the LDS Church.
Learning the truth about people like Abraham, Ishmael, Jeremiah and not to mention Jesus was mind-blowing to say the least and that’s why I keep praying these dilemmas or discrepancies will shed some light on the minds of the Mormon people.
This selection is from our 3rd installment of Demonic and Ungodly Names in the Book of Mormon.
Don’t forget to pray!
