In this episode Kerry and Andrew Skinner explore the incredible sermon given by Jacob in 2 Nephi 6-10. They delve into the context of the sermon and how Jacob used Isaiah in the sermon and how it addressed what was happening in their lives at the time, and how Christ and Covenant were the answer. They speak of Jacob's exploration of his people's covenant relationship with God, and what that has to do with us. They also explore how the theme of not being cast off from God and that covenant relationship with Him is much of the theme of 2 Nephi. They speak of the infinite power of Christ's atoning sacrifice and what that has to do with the Nephite need at the time and our need in our day. They show how Jacob teaches about how to take advantage of Christ's atoning sacrifice and what makes it difficult for us to do so. They also look at the joy that is available for those who do take advantage of Christ's atoning sacrifice and of God's redeeming desires.

My dad passed away last week in (in Chile) so, I looked for comfort in the Scriptures, specially my loved Book of Mormon and there the passing of Father Lehi made me feel his teachings and blessings so wonderfully comforted, so I can testify that scriptures are real!!❤ thanks from the bottom of my heart.
Our prayers are with you and your family. Because you loved him nothing will make it so there is no pain from missing him. But it can be combined with the joy and hope that comes from our Gospel understanding. I am so glad that you have found that real comfort! Bless you!
Such an uplifting message today. Thank you!😊
I am so glad it was helpful for you!
So good. I’ve learned so much today. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you I learned so much today
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you to Drs. Muhlestein and Skinner for always bringing new ideas to the forefront. I am learning a lot from you both on BYU InsirED as well.
I am so glad! I think we both just hope that we are helping in some way, so it is thrilling to hear about it when it does. Bless you!
Please save your ads til the end. We want to hear from Bro. Skinner!!
We do love hearing from him! He is wonderful! But the bills that pay for edit and post this won't get paid, and thus we won't hear from him, if we don't have them at the front. So far we are able to bring Brother Skinner and others to everyone for free because of one generous sponsor and many generous donors last Christmas, and because of some events we put on to keep paying for the editing and producing and hosting of all this. I am so very, very grateful for all those who have donated, or who have paid to be sponsors, or who help in any way, so that we can keep doing this. I would feel so sad if we had to quit doing it. Thank you everyone who helps!!!!!
You two do a great job! Love this! 🧡
Thank you so much!! I am just glad it makes some kind of difference for you!
Beautiful lesson makes me humble❤
We all need that, don't we?
@@TheScripturesAreReal Of course, we do.
Thank you again!
I am so glad it was helpful for you!
Thank you for a very stimulating, thought-provoking episode!
When I take the flipside of what Jacob is saying in chapter 9, it seems like without Christ's resurrection, although we would be cleansed from our sins, we would never be holy enough to enter the presence of God. Have I completely missed the boat here? Is it too much of a stretch to compare it to how the high priest made atonement for all the children of Israel through animal sacrifice, which made them clean from their sins but not holy enough to enter the presence of God? I guess I'm just trying to understand what is it about Christ's resurrection that bridges the gap between being cleansed from my sins and entering the presence of God, and I'm thinking it's somehow tied to spiritual progression, but then again, I may have completely misunderstood something! I welcome any corrections or thoughts!
I do think that without glorified bodies we could not be with Him in the kind of unity and permanence what we want, so I do think that getting a resurrected, glorified body is part of our redemption and exaltation!
That makes a lot of sense! Thank you for clearing that up! 😊
@@seethetempleI appreciate your post which helped me think this through and gain more clarity. That is the value of these conversations.
1:02:57 How did the atonement of Christ affect us in premortal life? This is not something I have heard before.
I think what is being referred to is that the atonement is infinite so it spans all time.
Where does it show that Joseph Smith called all of the Americas Zion?

What is the Hebrew word for repent - leshew??? Don’t know the spelling.
There are a few words we translate as "repent". A common one is "shuv", which as an infinitive is "lishuv", which is the word I think you are getting at here. It means to turn, or to turn around or turn back. Another is "naham", which means to sigh or feel sorrow or pity. A third is the Hit-pa'el (reflexive) form of the verb "charet", which means to feel sorrow or regret. Taken together these three probably capture the essence of repentance. I think the most common is the "shuv" verb, with its emphasis on turning, or changing, or perhaps even returning to God, as He asks so many times in the Old Testament.
