The Plates of Brass

Reminder… Rediscovery (and editing) of the Book of Deuteronomy Strict adherence to the letter of Law of Moses Limited all sacrifice to the Temple Belief in Israel’s ‘righteousness’ [and divine protection] due to strict obedience to the Law Persecution of false prophets (visionaries) Rejection of any additional divine guidance outside of the Law (A Torah, a Torah, we have a Torah!) Strict punishment against any preforming sacrifices outside the Temple King Josiah’s Reforms 620 BC

The Unspoken “Subplot Nephi (The New “Joseph”) vs Laman and Lemuel (the orthodox Deuteronomists) Nephi is: The Younger Brother Named for the “grain god of Egypt” by his father Left to be killed of wild beasts in the wilderness by his brothers Made a ruler over his brothers Has visions and dreams

Dreams and Visions 1 Nephi 2:1 1 Nephi 2:1

The Problem (Inverted) Thus, And [Laman and Lemuel] were like unto the Jews who were at Jerusalem Neither did they believe that Jerusalem…could be destroyed according the words of the prophets. They did murmur because they knew not the dealings of that God who created them Laman and Lemuel, being the eldest, did murmur against their father

Neal A. Maxwell Failing to understand the “dealings” of the Lord with His children—meaning His relations with and treatment of His children—is very fundamental. Murmuring is but one of the symptoms, and not the only consequence either; in fact, brothers and sisters, this failure affects everything else! To misread something so crucial constitutes a failure to know God, who then ends up being wrongly seen as unreachable, uninvolved, uncaring, and unable—a disabled and diminished Deity, really—about whose seeming limitations, ironically, some then quickly complain. Oct 1999 General Conference

The Problem An ex-Mormon blog, which currently counts nearly 12,000 “recovering Mormons”, posted group survey results in early 2013 that showed that nearly half of those who answered the survey would describe themselves as atheist, another 30% would describe themselves as agnostic, whereas only 0.5% would describe themselves as Catholic and only 2.4% would describe themselves as following an “other Christian religion”…
