long ago ideas

“When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago." - Friedrich Nietzsche. Long ago, Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery conquered false claims that the Book of Mormon was fiction or that it came through a stone in a hat. But these old claims have resurfaced in recent years. To conquer them again, we have to return to what Joseph and Oliver taught.

Ether 12 annotated

Sunday School classes around the world studied Ether 12 today as part of Come Follow Me. 

An annotated version of the chapter is here.

The annotations show how Joseph Smith, having been prepared from his youth by the Lord to be the translator, drew upon his own mental language bank that included the KJV of the Bible as well as the work of Jonathan Edwards and other Christian authors, with whom, as he said, he had "an intimate acquaintance."
