The first book of Mormon???????

Question

109 And I beheld his sword, and I drew it forth from the sheath thereof, and the hilt thereof was of pure gold, and the workmanship thereof was exceeding fine: and I saw that the blade thereof was of the most precious steel.
{
Jesus sword is his doctrine and his miracles }

110 And it came to pass that I was constrained by the Spirit that I should kill Laban;
111 But I said in my heart, Never at any time have I shed the blood of man, and I shrunk and would that I might not slay him.
112 And the Spirit said unto me again, Behold the Lord hath delivered him into thy hands; yea, and I also knew that he had sought to take away mine own life; yea, and he would not hearken unto the commandments of the Lord; and he also had taken away our property.
{
The spirit of his god tells him to kill Jesus. The spirit reminds Nephi that Jesus was wants to take his power and followers. }

113 And it came to pass that the Spirit said unto me again, Slay him, for the Lord hath delivered him into thy hands.
114 Behold the Lord slayeth the wicked to bring forth his righteous purposes.
{
Nephi’s god will kill those who oppress and don’t obey his laws }

115 It is better that one man should perish, than that a nation should dwindle and perish in unbelief.
{
Now, this is the famous statement that Caiphas said when the Pharasees were trying to figure out how to get rid of Jesus. Caiphas said, “it is expedient for us that one should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.” The interesting fact here is that the spirit of Nephi’s god has said this. Hence, we are dealing with an evil spirit and an evil god. }

116 And now, when I, Nephi, had heard these words, I remembered the words of the Lord which he spake unto me in the wilderness, saying, That inasmuch as thy seed shall keep my commandments, they shall prosper in the land of promise.
117 Yea, and I also thought that they could not keep the commandments of the Lord according to the law of Moses, save they should have the law.
118 And I also knew that the law was engraven upon the plates of brass.
{
Nephi recalled the false prophesies and knew that the people were weak and with little faith. He also knew that if they let him alone the Romans would come and take away both their place and nation. }

119 And again, I knew that the Lord had delivered Laban into my hands for this cause, that I might obtain the records according to his commandments.
120 Therefore I did obey the voice of the Spirit, and took Laban by the hair of the head, and I smote off his head with his own sword.
{
And this Caiaphas did spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation. }

121 And after I had smitten off his head with his own sword, I took the garments of Laban and put them upon mine own body; yea, even every whit; and I did gird on his armor about my loins.
122 And after I had done this, I went forth unto the treasury of Laban.
{
Now that Jesus was dead, Nephi took the role of Jesus fooling even his own followers. }

123 And as I went forth towards the treasury of Laban, behold I saw the servant of Laban, who had the keys of the treasury.
{
Nephi hides his true identity so that he can get close to Jesus closest and most loving disciple. When Jesus asked his disciples, “who do men say that I am? Peter replied that he was that son of the living God. You are the Messiah. Jesus then told him, “To you I will give the keys to the kingdom of Heaven.” }

124 And I commanded him in the voice of Laban, that he should go with me into the treasury; and he supposed me to be his master Laban, for he beheld the garments and also the sword girded about my loins.
125 And he spake unto me concerning the elders of the Jews, he knowing that his master Laban had been out by night among them.
126 And I spake unto him as if it had been Laban.
127 And I also spake unto him that I should carry the engravings which were upon the plates of brass, to my elder brethren, who were without the walls.
{
Nephi fools Peter. Peter is fooled into thinking that Nephi is Jesus because he has his clothes and his doctrine. }

Answer 1

That makes no sense. Nephi lived 600 BC. He was dead for hundreds of years before Jesus was even born. Nephi, and his brothers, had been trying to get the scriptures of the time from Laban, who wouldn't give or sell them to them.

Answer 2

You obviously have WAY too much time on your hands and do not even come close to what the scriptures are actually teaching there...

It was necessary for Nephi to get the plates from Laban. He and his brothers tried several times, even offering all the gold and silver and everything they had, which they gave to Laban and he STILL didn't give Nephi the plates. Nephi did not want to slay Laban, but the spirit bore witness to him that he should.
"...better that one man should perish" is that not true? If Nephi would not have obeyed the Lord and gotten the plates from Laban, we may not even have the whole Book of Mormon.

You are just taking things and twisting them to slander the LDS. And also-------Laban's servant did not think he was Jesus, he thought Nephi was LABAN. You are clearly mis-reading everything.

Answer 3

Old testomony New Testament Another Testament The Book of Mormon settles each query Christianity is split on - for illustration: The function of baptism. Who does it. How. What is to be stated. Who is to be baptized. When are they meant to be baptized. The dating of Jesus to God and the Holy Ghost within the Godhead The dating among religion, works, mercy, grace, justice, repentance Covenants concerning the condo of israel within the final days How the sacrament/eucharist/communion is to be administered - how, by way of who, while, what's to be stated - matters which have been misplaced for hundreds of years with the loss of life of the apostles - and which might be hinted within the bible, however don't seem to be replied therein. Its translation of the e-book of Isaiah differs from the bible, however is the equal because the Dead Sea Scrolls translations of the equal. It makes recognized the covenants of God concerning Christianity at the American Continent, or the covenants concerning the land its self, as good as includes prophesies concerning the American Revolution, the invention of the Americas, the Savior's start, and the constructing up of the Lord's Kingdom within the final days, and quite a lot of warnings concerning the corruptions of governments earlier than the Second Coming of Jesus Christ - it's an robust e-book! This and plenty of extra matters are what are within the Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ. This is why the e-book is so priceless to Christianity.

Answer 4

I love it when people compare apples and oranges and get it all wrong. Actually, this was more like Apples and Hamburgers. I'd like to know where you got Jesus and Peter. Nephi kills "Laban" an evil man, and fools his servant; later named "Zoram" follows and stays with Nephi. Granted, some stories are parallel in some way with the bible; but, congrats on completely missing the point of this passage. Good thing not many people answered this question...;)

Answer 5

Hmmm.. Is this Lehi's account? Supposedly the book was stolen and modified.

Answer 6

Mormons are into the false Jesus thing, they do not know the true Jesus and don't understand how other people can.

Mormons are fooled into thinking that Joseph Smith was a Christian prophet because he had occult powers.

Mormons are fooled into thinking that Satan is Jesus' brother because they get their doctrines by occultic practices.

Mormons are fooled into thinking they are Christians because they write Jesus Christ in the name of their organization.
