How does the Book of Mormon expose Korihors and Antichrists today?

- Korihor is possibly the most colorful of all the Nephite antichrists. He came among the people of Zarahemla following a battle involving the death of tens of thousands. He was an atheist, claiming to know that there was no God and no Christ. In striking contrast to the past, he argued what had previously been deemed unthinkable; this earth was not created by God and there is no convincing evidence for a Supreme Creator. His teachings when compared to the teachings of atheists in our day evidence a remarkable parallel.
Now, we have not been using the Book of Mormon as we should. Our homes are not as strong unless we are using it to bring our children to Christ. Our families may be corrupted by worldly trends and teachings unless we know how to use the book to expose and combat the falsehoods in socialism, organic evolution, rationalism, humanism, and so forth. (Ezra Taft Benson, A Witness and a Warning: A Modern-Day Prophet Testifies of the Book of Mormon [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1988], 6.)

This is absolutely true. In forty four years in the church I have come to rely on the principles in the Book of Mormon.
WHY DO LDS REJECT ETERNAL GOD OF BIBLE & BELIEVE IN FALSE EVOLVING GODS OF Joseph Smith?
ISN'T YOUR ETERNITY WORTH EXAMINING THE TRUTH?
"Before me NO god was formed, nor shall there be ANY after me.” (Isaiah 43:10) If Mormonism is true, then God could not make this claim, for he was just a man at one point; nor could he claim that no gods would come after him, for that is the goal of LDS members. Isaiah 44:6 says, "I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God." and it goes on "Is there any God besides me?... I know not one" So obviously God is saying there is NOT any infinite amount of Gods, and there is none other like Him. Mormonism teaches that there is.
LDS paid scholar Dan McClellan: " The data pretty firmly points in the OPPOSITE direction of a historical BOM" youtube short video "Is the BOM historical?"
There is NO archaeological, anthropological, topological, linguistic, botanical or dna evidence to support the Book of Mormon. LDS anthropologist Dee Green: “The first myth we need to eliminate is that BOM archaeology exists” conceding 20 years of research “left us empty-handed” (Green 1969 p. 77)
NO trace of Jewish DNA found in any Indian burial ground anywhere in the Americas from time period of BOM. Thomas W. Murphy, (Mormon scholar, DNA researcher): “the genetic evidence shows that American Indians are not Hebrews, they are not Israelites. The Book of Mormon is not true.” John Whitmer Historical Association Journal 2005
NO truth: Book of Abraham published with 3 drawings taken from an ancient Egyptian papyrus. The book is a funerary papyrus showing scenes from the Egyptian Book of the Dead. In drawings Nos. 1 & 3, Smith misidentifies everything depicted. "LDS and non-LDS Egyptologists agree that the characters on the fragments do not match the translation given in the book of Abraham" Quote from LDS OFFICIAL WEB PAGE
NO trace of “2 million Jaredites slain” (Ether 15:2), with iron, brass, breast-plates, shields, and armor. It is impossible for these millions of dead warriors in metal armor to leave no trace.
NO trace of the "great" city Zarahemla- it is impossible for a city the size of Zarahemla described in BOM (Alma 5:2; D&C 125:3) to leave no trace.
NO temple like Solomon's described in 2 Nephi 5:16 has ever been found yet biblical temple is easily seen in Jerusalem. This "temple" could not just disappear.
NO Nephite "reformed Egyptian" writings described by J.S. ever found anywhere as it is not a real language anywhere in the world.
NO cities mentioned in the BOM have ever been located (none of 38) ANYWHERE. It would be impossible for them to disappear unless they never existed.
NO evidence: "The whole land was covered with buildings, and the people were as numerous, as it were the sand of the sea." Yet NOT ONE ever located. (Mormon 1:7) IMPOSSIBLE for highly advanced civilizations (Jaredites, Nephites) & MILLIONS of people to have vanished.
The BOM speaks of sheep, swine, silk, wool clothing & elephants existing in the Americas when they did not. 1 Ne.13:7; Alma 4:6; Ether 9:17 and 10:24 These were brought to America centuries later by Europeans.
NO wheat, no goats, no metal smelting furnaces, no metal armor, no steel swords, no cattle, no chariot parts, no brass (Mosiah 8:10) no evidence of the listed Kings in BOM, no Jewish relics or Jewish Temples from supposed Jews, no metal plates like Nephites supposedly used, no middle eastern seeds growing, "which were brought from the land of Jerusalem ... and grew exceedingly" 1 Nephi 18:24
CAN WE IGNORE THE LACK OF EVIDENCE FOR THE THE BOOK OF MORMON AND JUST TRUST OUR FEELINGS AS TO THE TRUTH OF IT EVEN THOUGH IT CONFLICTS WITH THE BIBLE? NO!
D&C Section 9:8-9 - tell us that if something is true it will make our "bosom burn" and we will FEEL that it is right. Maroni 10:4 says: "he will manifest the truth of it unto you"
The Bible warns us against this subjective type of truth test. Why? Because we have a sinful nature that can be deceived. Proverbs 28:26 "He that trusts in his own (bosom) heart is a FOOL."
The Scriptures, however, are infallible and can never be wrong (John 17:17; Psalm 119:128; 33:4; 19:8; Romans 3:4).
This is why the Bible frequently urges us to study and meditate on God's word. 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV "STUDY ... rightly dividing the word of TRUTH." Acts 17:11 "EXAMINE THE SCRIPTURES to see if what said is TRUE". 1John 4:1 says: "BELIEVE NOT EVERY SPIRIT, ... because MANY FALSE PROPHETS (J.S.) have gone out into the world."
Mormonism CLAIMS the bible was corrupted to justify Joseph Smith's changing of the biblical, eternal God into an evolving, created god, who is not all powerful and is one of an endless number of gods . However, this is a PROVABLY FALSE claim.
The Claim: In the BOM, the prophet Nephi has a vision the Bible was CORRUPTED and "plain and precious parts" were removed after the 12 apostles and after the formation of the “great and ABOMINABLE church” (1 Nephi 13:26-29). Most Mormons believe this is the Catholic Church formed in the 4th century. Nephi claims this church was founded by the DEVIL (1 Nephi 14:3). So let’s objectively examine the Bible & BOM.
BIBLE: The Dead Sea Scrolls have been dated to as early as 350 BC. One is the Great Isaiah Scroll, which is the oldest known copy of the Book of Isaiah dated to 180 BC.
Do ANY ancient scrolls show Smith's "uncorrupted" version of scripture? NO! Yet they would if the scripture was later corrupted after the 12 apostles died as Smith and Nephi said.
Also, if they had been corrupted, Jesus would have corrected scripture instead of affirming it! Jesus sd:“ I told you EVERYTHING written about me in the Law of Moses, the Books of the Prophets, and in the Psalms had to happen.” (Luke 24:44-46)
Scripture is the same today as it was 2,100+ years ago with only minor spelling and punctuation differences. Joseph Smith was wrong. These scrolls pre-dated Catholics, and are Jewish scrolls and the BOM says the Jews had the Scriptures in their "purity". 1Nephi 13:25
LDS Apologist Wayne Ham admitted the Isaiah scroll does not support the the BOM. Apologist Dr. Sidney B. Sperry, of BYU, said the Dead Sea Scrolls do not help the case for the BOM. BYU Professor Joseph F. McConkie: "Rather than Joseph Smith as Found in Ancient Manuscripts, it ought be Joseph Smith as Lost in Ancient Manuscripts.” (Religious Studies Center, 1984)
IS THE GOD OF THE BOOK OF MORMON THE SAME ONE AS IN THE BIBLE? NO! In the LDS Church’s 147th Conf., Gen Authority Bernard P. Brockbank said: the Christ followed by Mormons is NOT THE CHRIST followed by traditional Christianity. (Ensign, May 1977 p. 26)
Like Joseph Smith, the goal of Satan was to be like God and have worshipers. "I will exalt my throne above the stars of God ... I will be like the Most High”’ (Isaiah 14:12-14)
The new testament has not been corrupted either. See the book of John. Smith changed it to make Jesus a created being. Research a 1900 year old papyri known as the Bodmer Papyri of the book of John. (written 150 AD, around the Apostle John's time)
John 1:1 "In the BEGINNING was the WORD and the WORD was WITH God and the WORD WAS God." ΕΝ ΑΡΧΗ ΗΝ Ο ΛΟΓΟΣ ΚΑΙ Ο ΛΟΓΟΣ ΗΝ ΠΡΟΣ ΤΟΝ ΘΕΟΝ ΚΑΙ ΘΕΟΣ ΗΝ Ο ΛΟΓΟΣ (look up this ancient Greek yourself on google)
John 1:1 Joseph Smith mistranslation: "In the beginning was the GOSPEL preached through the Son. And the GOSPEL was the word, and the word was with the Son, and the Son was with God, and the Son was of God." Smith's Jesus is no longer God in the flesh but the biblical Jesus is: "God was manifest in the flesh" 1Tim. 3:16 KJV. In order to try to make things work for LDS, J.S. added extra verses and verbiage into John 1 that were never there in any ancient texts to try to separate the idea of a trinity into 3 Gods.
There are 4,000 Greek manuscripts of the New Testament. Some go back to 350 AD and NONE support Joseph Smith's claims that the bible of today has been corrupted.
Papyrus fragments exist of the New Testament dated to 175 AD and show that the new testament has NOT been "corrupted". (New Testament Docs: Are They Reliable? Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1967 pp. 15-17)
The manuscript and archeological evidence for the BIBLE is the GREATEST in antiquity. I pray you know the true Jesus and not Joseph Smith's exalted man from another planet who is not eternal, not all powerful, not perfect but evolving, and was polygamous.
God is much greater than the humanoid of Mormonism and NOT just ONE OF AN ENDLESS NUMBER OF EVOLVING GODS.
Jesus said ALL scripture will NOT fade away but "many wolves in sheep's clothing" will come trying to add to the word. Mathew 7:15 Joseph Smith changed Jesus, the Father and taught you can become a GOD.
It hurts my heart to see Mormons fall for the lie that we can become God when there is only one eternal God found in the bible.
"The only men who become Gods, even the sons of Gods are those that enter into polygamy." (Brigham Young) Journal of Discourses 11 p.269
Apostle Orson Pratt, in The Seer, page 172, “the great Messiah who was the founder of the Christian religion was a Polygamist…The son followed the example of his Father"
God gave us critical thinking & logical reasoning for a reason, which is why he does tell us to EXAMINE and TEST what we are being taught for TRUTH. The bible withstands the truth test. Joseph Smith's version fails the truth test. It's your eternity, study it for yourself. God bless.
I think that it should be discussed regularly how unbelievably precisely the arguments of Korihor match the current arguments of modern Marxism/critical theory. Korihor’s arguments went like this: 1)There is no God and so no sin and no need for a Savior. 2) Because there is no God and no absolute right and wrong, everything devolves into questions of power and power dynamics. People prosper if they can gather power by their genius, strength, or management skills. 3) The Nephite society was created by a group of men who set up institutions, social structures, physical structures, and a set of beliefs that were all designed to keep themselves in power and to keep the people in ignorance and exploitation. 4) Because of this, the people are under a false consciousness of freedom when in fact they are in bondage. 5) When the people become awakened (woke) to the truth of how the founders set up society for their own power and benefit, they can start to be liberated and take power back for themselves. 6) Korihor was there to raise their consciousness to these realities and liberate them from their economic and social oppression and call them to a revolution/resistance.
I’ve posted a similar comment on a couple of channels, because this kind of Marxism has become the dominant philosophy of our time and I think it’s important to see how remarkable it is that the BoM gets it exactly right.
100% spot on
The virus of Marxist philosophy mutated from an economic model (Communism) into a social model (LGBT Trans movements and intersectionality agenda aka the sexual revolution) in order to take root and become effective in prosperous western societies like the US , UK, and other countries. This social virus has attached itself parasitically to institutions and infects the people of these institutions like cells. Corporations and government entities are joining the modern Marxism (remember, it's now more social than economic) by showing off their Pride colors and support every June.
Banks are now practicing ESG (environmental social governance) where they force their members to spend their money in a certain way (allocating more funds to LGBT, green energy, etc.) and if they don't they are penalized. These are just some of the problems the virus causes.
That is incredibly insightful. Thank you
The same similarities likewise align exactly with capitalism. "The very premise of "maximize your profits" (capitalism) is "every man for himself" which is exactly the same "every man prospers according to his own genius and conquers according to his own strength" (Korihor). Capitalism is just as evil as Marxism.
💯
Korihor was never in the church; Nehor is apostate. Both make similar appeals to greed and envy. This kind claims to be free but merely goes into a different kind of bondage; often a bondage to substances such as tobacco, liquor, abusing drugs.
I hope you do an hour long discussion on this
4 minutes was just not enough😊
Yes! We will have a full podcast in the future (Lesson 29) but chose to release this short clip today to assist members following the Come Follow Me reading schedule. Take care!
Truth is spoken here
Richard Dawkins is a modern day Korihor.
1:25 dawkins and "EVIL-ution."
Excellent video…….
Plain spoken and full of The Spirit of God.
Thanks Hannah!!
3:29. Jenet Erickson.
But Hannah must have had something to do with the production.
Love this video
BYU used to be a great university and a great place to study. I loved my time there. Now............................
It seems that the Bean Museum at BYU promotes the evolutionary paradigm.
Yes because evolution is factual and objectively verified through multiple lines of evidence. “Spiritual truth” is subjective and relative to where you were born and how you were programmed as a kid
Yep, my parents both taught evolution at BYU.
Yep - Korihors in the church.
Dude get a nice backdrop. It looks like you filmed this in outer darkness.
🤘
How is Keynes equivalent to Korihor?
Keynes was part of the 1/2/3/4 punch combination of Socailism/communism/evolution/education system and then Keynes economical principles that enabled government money laundering and fascist corporatocracy. Keynes had no good intentions with creating his principles.
What's wrong with keynes? To much government spending?
Keynes principles is a money laundering principle for government.
Daryl, it’s financial enslavement.
It seems as it stoped with benson
What stopped with Benson?
BS
Did charles Darwin not a Christian?
No he was not. He rejected his Christian heritage and sold his soul.
The antichrist is someone who changes and adds to the sacred word of God. Also, they believe in a created Jesus and many gods. A doctrine that is not biblical, yes, this is the antichrist.
Anti Mormon hear
You dont undestand your statements, do you?
Deuteronomy 4:2 & 12:32 say do not add words. SO YOU MEAN TO SAY THE WRITERS OF THE BIBLE AFTER DEUTERONOMY ARE ANTI-CHRIST???😂😂😂
Apostle Paul is also an antichrist because he said that God the Father made His son Jesus 😅😅😅
Hebrews 1:
6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him
4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. 5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
Our church teaches that Jesus was the first born spirit of God the Father and He is our Eldest Brother in the pre mortal state. This is mentioned by prophets and apostles of God in the bible, SO, YOU MEAN TO SAY THAT THEY TOO ARE ANTICHRIST🤣🤣🤣
Colossians 1:15
15 (Jesus) Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
I will make him my firstborn, Ps. 89:27. I the Lord, the first, Isa. 41:4. In the beginning was the Word, John 1:1. his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many, Rom. 8:29. the image of the invisible God, the firstborn, Col. 1:15.. he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, Heb. 1:6. To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, Heb. 12:23. I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, Rev. 1:11. the Amen … the beginning of the creation of God, Rev. 3:14.
You contradict the statement of the apostle John. Because John mentioned that words and teachings of Christ are not limited to 66 - book bible🤣🤣🤣
John 21
25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
BOM...fiction
@TheRonster1954 - Book of Mormon, truth. Real people, real events. Just because you close your eyes, doesn't make it not truth.
TheRonster, you know not of what you speak.
I'm pretty sure you haven't read it? Give it a try, I promise you that it will change your life! Oh, and if you have 1954 in your name, maybe it's the year you were born? Same with me! :-) I'm sure we'd be friends have lots to talk about about our lives. Let me know what you think when you're done reading it.
