So there is never any claim that Joseph Smith would descend from the Nephites. There is perhaps (verse 24) the claim that he would be "mighty among" the Nephites, but not that he would be a descendant.BrianJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11141688398007490973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24168315.post-77667150789648160492008-03-19T01:07:00.000-04:002008-03-19T01:07:00.000-04:00While studying the same passage I wondered how Jos...While studying the same passage I wondered how Joseph Smith Sr and Jr could be descendents of Joseph son of Lehi if all of the Nephites including Joseph Ben Lehi were destroyed.

From my point of view they are engaging in a completely a-historical reading and understanding of what the text is and does. Nonetheless, I think the question of how and why people choose to read this way is interesting.douglas hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14783436900987772369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24168315.post-22947087469019141932007-12-07T21:03:00.000-05:002007-12-07T21:03:00.000-05:00Good point.

If we then take both of them together and still consider faith as a force moving us to works we have another facet of the gem of faith to consider (I wouldn't give my thought more than a portion of a whole picture). Particularly, how is it that faith (in Christ) is a force to cause action and how does it relate to God's power working within us?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
