Paul vs Nephi (Ephesians 3:1-7 vs 1 Nephi 10:11-14)

Posted on April 7, 2011 by Daniel Silas

Wow… I’m completely stunned by the absolute contradiction I just read in the Book of Mormon compared with the Bible. Ephesians 3:1-7 vs 1 Nephi 10:11-14. A good friend of mine, who is a LDS member encouraged me to read through the BoM to see if it is as they claim, the Word of God in addition to the Bible.

I’ve read the Quran as well in the past because I am interested in what others have to say including Muslims and Latter Day Saints. After all, both groups have very big differences in their teachings on God and Jesus.

Read what Paul writes in Ephesians 3:1-7. Specfically, “…how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery… which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets: that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel…”

The fact that the Gentiles were to be included as fellow heirs with the Jews was hidden until after Christ’s ministry on the Earth. It was revealed to Paul and the other Apostles. Paul says that truth was “not made known” until then.

So for Nephi’s father Lehi to have prophecied this truth 600 years before Christ and the Apostles in 1 Nephi 10:11-14, that goes directly against what Paul says.

It sounds like Lehi is quoting directly from the Gospels and Romans. Or should we say Joseph Smith is quoting directing from the Gospels and Romans. The similiarities in language are very precise.

Muhammed’s Errors about Jesus – James White

Posted on April 5, 2011 by Daniel Silas

James White discusses the errors that Muhammed makes concerning Jesus.

In regard to the last post of the Karaite Jewish sect, its interesting to hear about a Quran only Muslim in this discussion (1:34 in vid).

Karaite Jews – Zola Levitt

Posted on April 4, 2011 by Daniel Silas

Judaism has sects just like Christians and Muslims. One sect is called Karaites. They are Jewish believers in the Hebrew scriptures (Old Testament) who believe the scripture and reject the oral traditions of the Rabbis’ known as the Talmud.

Nehemia Gordon was interviewed by Zola Levitt. Zola was a Messianic Jewish believer who believe that Jesus Christ is the Jewish Messiah just as all Christians do. He passed away back in 2006.

All of this interview is interesting, but I found it especially interesting when they talk about the Jewish Rabbis, Christian Priests, and Islamic Imams teaching about scripture and telling the people that they must believe their teaching. So many similarities.
