This episode is part 12 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon.In Jacob chapter 6, Jacob uses the allegory of the vineyard from the prophet Zenos mentioned in the previous chapter to call the people of Nephi to reflect and repent. Of course, I point out where I see statements that are borrowed from the Bible.In Jacob chapter 7, Jacob encounters a heretic named Sherem who teaches that no "Christ" will come. After Jacob rebukes him, God strikes Sherem with a fatal illness. Sherem renounces what he taught before. We are left unclear if this was a deathbed conversion or just a heretic fearing judgment from God.I discuss a little about the last statement from the book of Jacob, which is "Brethren, adieu."Further research:Book of Mormon in videoJoseph Smith: The Prophet of the RestorationThe Book of Mormon online: Jacob [chapters 6, 7]*** Please contribute to the Hurricane relief fund for A.M.

In Jacob 5, he'll teach us Zenos' allegory of the Olive Tree to help us understand the depth and infinite scope of God's love for His children.

As an omniscient God, why does he speak in possibilities?Jacob 5:18 | Have you seen examples where those who are new to the Covenant draw strength from and simultaneously add strength to the Church?Jacob 5:30-31 | How can the trap of being busy but not productive in the Lord's way lead to apostasy in us?Jacob 7:4 | Why is flattery such an effective tool of the adversary?

Jacob - the last of the originals and the allegory of the olive tree, 77 entire verses, dreaded almost as much as Isaiah! We break this down into a nice, easy-to-follow format, and after we assure you, you'll come to see its simplistic beauty. We also touch on Sherem. Come Follow Me 2024, Book of Mormon, If You Could Hie to Kolob

While reading my scriptures these words popped out to me: "he sought much opportunity that he might come unto me." That is exactly what satan does, he seeks after us to lead us away with flattery and false information. With our desires to live a good life, obey God and follow the Savior, we need to be sure to be like Jacob and be NOT BE SHAKEN by his deceits and false words. Jacob 7: 1 And now it came to pass after some years had passed away, there came a man among the people of Nephi, whose name was Sherem. 2 And it came to pass that he began to preach among the people, and to declare unto them that there should be no Christ. And he preached many things which were flattering unto the people; and this he did that he might overthrow the doctrine of Christ. 3 And he labored diligently that he might lead away the hearts of the people, insomuch that he did lead away many hearts; and he knowing that I, Jacob, had faith in Christ who should come, he sought much opportunity that he might come unto me. 4 And he was learned, that he had a perfect knowledge of the language of the people; wherefore, he could use much flattery, and much power of speech, according to the power of the devil. 5 And he had hope to shake me from the faith, notwithstanding the many revelations and the many things which I had seen concerning these things; for I truly had seen angels, and they had ministered unto me. And also, I had heard the voice of the Lord speaking unto me in very word, from time to time; wherefore, I could not be shaken.

Jess and Dr. Val Larsen continue their conversation on how Dr. Larsen first started contemplating Heavenly Mother and what he has discovered through careful reading of the Book of Mormon and studying associated historical works. He suggests that Lehi and Nephi, along with Joseph Smith, received and worked to restore the pre-deuteronomistic, old religion of Abraham in their respective dispensations. As Dr. Larsen and contemporary scholars have found, this ancient religion believed in a divine Council of the Gods, including Heavenly Mother, Heavenly Father, and their Son Jesus Christ. This belief in separate embodied, glorified members of a Heavenly Family makes the theology of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints distinctive from other religions. Yet, as a church, we tend to deemphasize this point. Val suggests that this "Greater Apostasy" keeps us from fully worshiping the Divine Family, and that as we undo the removal of Heavenly Mother from our theology (which took place in the days of Josiah), we can continue to see the unfolding of the ongoing, modern-day restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ and better help prepare the world for His Second Coming.

Sherem denies Christ, contends with Jacob, demands a sign, and is smitten of God—All of the prophets have spoken of Christ and His Atonement—The Nephites lived out their days as wanderers, born in tribulation, and hated by the Lamanites. About 544–421 B.C. The post Jacob 7 appeared first on Sacred Text Daily.

Jacob meets up with a man named Sherem, who is going to try his hardest to convince Jacob that there is no Jesus Christ.

Jacob is a leader and a teacher of the Nephites. They are struggling and not being as valiant as they should be. Sherem is an anti christ who is teaching the people there is no christ. He seeks out Jacob wanting to convince him there is no Christ, but Jacob has seen angels and his testimony of Christ could not be shaken.

Jacob, Chapters 6-7

Abstract: The first 450 years of Nephite history are dominated by two main threads: the ethno-political tension between Nephites and Lamanites and religious tension between adherents of rival theologies. These rival Nephite theologies are a Mantic theology that affirms the existence of Christ and a Sophic theology that denies Christ. The origin of both narrative threads lies […] The post Josiah to Zoram to Sherem to Jarom and the Big Little Book of Omni first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.

Jacob 6:6-Jarom 1:3 Bad fruit is produced when we rejected God's word. And those that produce bad fruit will be cast down, like with Sherem. But those who put their faith in God, like Jacob, will receive power to crush Satan and his allies.

Sherem who is an AntiChrist will experience a miracle performed by God. Sherem will confess to ALL that the Scriptures truly testify of Christ. This is Jacobs last chapter so we will find out who he will entrust these scriptures too as he leaves his final words. Make sure you stick around until the end of this chapter because I will be sharing the rest of my conversation  with Vai and Keala Sikahema about life, work, and culture.

The last words of Jacob are recorded in chapter 4, complete with an Amen. Then we have another chapter that was added. Remember we are writing on metal plates here. We can't just press delete or backspace so instead we get a denouement.  The encounter with Sherem was important enough that Jacob added it to his record and it is a defining moment for Jacob. We learn more about him. Then, he feels his age and time wearing on him and he describes his life "as it were a dream". Maybe its just me, but I relate to it in a sort of french film noir kind of way. The doomed working-class antihero, alone, haunted by the impending doom of his brothers attacks on his people, resigned to his fate as the defender of Christ and leader of the stiff necked Nephites. As his scene ends he tips his Fedora hat and says, "Adieu".

The story of Sherem, the anti-Christ who appears in Jacob 7, provides key insights into the ways that faith is attacked and the ways that faith can be defended. Join religious educator Jared Halverson in a verse-by-verse examination of this chapter, to go along with your study of the Book of Mormon in Come Follow Me.

Three people die in this episode and Sherem gets told what's what!

Michelle and Diana have a conversation about the allegory of the olive tree and Sherem. Topics include: the Lord nourishes his people, careful not to outpace our roots, choosing the Lord above all else, learn to hear Him so we are not shaken 3/18/20

And now it came to pass, after some years had passed away, and there came a man among the people of Nephi whose name was Sherem. And it came to pass that he began to preach among the people and to declare unto them that there should be no Christ. And he preached many things … Continue reading "Jacob 5"

We finished our first book! This is our final chapter walkthrough on the Book of Jacob. It deals with Jacob's interaction with a man named Sherem. Again, if you hear my kiddos in the background, that's just quarantine life. Enjoy!

Sherem's Skepticism: The Tactics of a Faith Shaker

Careful examination reveals that the exchange between Jacob and Sherem is a legal case that hinged on the three interrelated accusations of apostasy, blasphemy, and false prophecy—all capital crimes in ancient Israel. In Sherem’s eyes, Jacob had twisted the law into the worship of a false god, falsely prophesied to come “many hundred years hence”. Read at bit.ly/know554

Sherem denies Christ, contends with Jacob, demands a sign, and is smitten of God—All of the prophets have spoken of Christ and His Atonement—The Nephites lived out their days as wanderers, born in tribulation, and hated by the Lamanites. About 544–421 B.C.

Church of Jesus Christ Study Session seeks to generate reflection about areas in the Restored Gospel. Whether it's Come Follow Me, a General Conference talk or a recent Gospel Topic, hopefully you'll find something to keep the Spirit of Christ in your life. Twitter - @mattsroberts90 ldsstudysession@gmail.com You can also join the discussion in the Facebook Group 'Church of Jesus Christ Study Session with Come Follow Me'. Today we discuss the experience further that's recorded in Jacob 7. We consider the role that ministering played in the early Nephite times and we reflect on the lessons that we learn from Sherem and his challenge. Clyde J Williams: One reason Sherem, the anti-Christ, was able to deceive the Nephites was that they lacked scriptural knowledge.... Today individuals… deceive others by their smooth words and scholarly language. These modern Sherems call for such things as modifications in Church doctrine and liberalized moral standards. Some are led into inactivity and even apostasy because they do not search and understand the scriptures as they are illuminated by the light of the Spirit.

Join us for our study of Jacob 5-7 as we dive into the Book of Mormon! This week we discuss the allegory of the olive trees and Sherem the antichrist.

Twitter - @mattsroberts90 ldsstudysession@gmail.com You can also join the discussion in the Facebook Group 'Church of Jesus Christ Study Session with Come Follow Me'. Today we discuss the experience recorded in Jacob 7. We consider the philosophy and methodology of Sherem and what makes him different from other opponents of the prophets in the Book of Mormon. We also reflect on how we can prepare our faith from challenges in the future.  Hugh Nibley: Early in Nephite history an ambitious intellectual by the name of Sherem, who was a master of smooth talk and rhetorical tricks and made a great show of being a good and devout church-member, set himself to the task of outshining all others as a Great Mind. . . . The interesting thing about Sherem is his convincing performance as a devout and active churchman who is not attacking the gospel but defending it: no wonder he got a large following!

Today, while reading Jacob 7 I noticed something I had never seen before. Sherem challenges Jacob and asks for a sign. Jacob responds that he didn't want to tempt God and ask for a sign of things that Sherem already knew! How did Sherem go from being a believer of Christ, to someone trying to destroy the faith of other? How can we protect and maintain our testimonies?

Discussion of Zenos' allegory of the tame olive tree and Jacob's interaction with Sherem the anti-Christ.

Jacob 6 seemed to be the end of Jacob's writing, he had said his goodbyes! But what was so important that it caused him to write one last chapter? He wanted to teach us about Sherem the anti-christ, in hopes that by doing so, you and I could learn to recognize the lies of the adversary.

Jacob shares the allegory of the olive tree with us and, by so doing, reveals to us the loving character of God and our role as his servants in the gathering of the house of Israel. What can you do to labor with the Lord in his vineyard?Jacob is confronted by Sherem, an antichrist, who denies the coming of a Messiah and demands a sign. Jacob could not be shaken from his faith and boldly defends the gospel. Sherem receives a sign and is struck down by the power of God. Visit us at allenlisted.com.

'The Allegory of the Olive Trees' -  Who was Zenos? -  There has to be a starting point, it is the House of Israel -  The Allegory is the story of 'covenant' between the peoples of God -  Sherem is an advocate of The Nehor Principle. -  He is religious, but denies the Doctrine of Christ   http://www.cwicmedia.com  https://www.facebook.com/cwicmedia    Come Follow Me for Individuals and Families LDS Mormon

Discussion of the Prophet Zenos’s Allegory of the Olive Tree and how it is a clear witness of Jesus Christ and His love for us. On the contrary, Sherem who is anti-Christ, is deceived into denying Christ and experience death as a result of it. In addition to the covered chapters, this lesson also draws from (i) Moses 1:39 and (ii) a speech by Truman G. Madsen called "The Olive Press."

In a world where things are being hourly, minutely shaken up around us we need something to strengthen and solidify us. In Jacob's writings he mentions often his own and his desire  to help others receive unshakeable faith. In chapter 5 he quotes Zenos' allegory of the olive tree that, if likened to us, is a story of how God helps the trees of his vineyard grow, become strong (and unshakeable), and bear fruit of hope and peace. In chapter 7 Jacob's faith is tested by Sherem and, yet, remains unshakeable. So study with us this week as we learn how to solidify our faith in the face of uncertainty.

We're reading from the 1920 edition of the Book of Mormon which is no longer under copyright protection in the United States. Today we read Jacob 5-7. Jacob quotes Zenos's allegory of the olive tree. He also tells of his encounter with Sherem, an opponent of Christ. You can find the study questions that go with this material in the Gospel Library app or online at the website of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/come-follow-me-for-individuals-and-families-book-of-mormon-2020/12?lang=eng

Join the Third Hour Podcast as we discuss Jacob's Allegory of the Olive Tree, including the straightforwardness of its historical model and how it can be applied to testimonies, followed by a discussion of Jacob's contention with Sherem.

The Book of Mormon prophet Jacob never stopped trying to teach the Nephites about Jesus Christ. But along came a guy named Sherem who not only didn't believe in Christ, but also taught others not to believe in Him either. See what happens when Sherem confronts Jacob in this episode.

The allegory of the olive tree and Jacob’s encounter with Sherem are the main topics this week. Isaiah 53:6 2 Nephi 28:14 D&C 33:4 2 Nephi 25:9 2 Nephi 1:10-12 3 Nephi 16:10 D&C 86:1-7...

Jacob 7   This is the last chapter that Jacob will engrave upon the plates and it is crucial that we liken it to our day. Sherem was the first anti-Christ to enter among the people of Nephi. He was a learned man and had the ability to lead away many hearts because of his flattery and the power of his speech. Can you, with the same confidence and certainty say like Jacob, "I could not be shaken?" How are we to detect the deceptions of evil men? How are we to avoid being fooled and flattered into doctrines that are contrary to Jesus Christ?   Go to sisterscriptorians.com to sign up to become a Sister Scriptorian!

Just as the people of Nephi nourished Sherem, we can rescue people around us by ministering to them. Our love, selfless service, and example can make a difference in helping to restore peace and the love of God among our communities. Read at bit.ly/know534

The last words of Jacob are recorded in chapter 4, complete with an Amen. Then we have another chapter that was added. Remember we are writing on metal plates here. We can't just press delete or backspace so instead we get a denouement. The encounter with Sherem was important enough that Jacob added it to his record and it is a defining moment for Jacob. We learn more about him. Then, he feels his age and time wearing on him and he describes his life "as it were a dream". Maybe its just me, but I relate to it in a sort of french film noir kind of way. The doomed working-class antihero, alone, haunted by the impending doom of his brothers attacks on his people, resigned to his fate as the defender of Christ and leader of the stiff necked Nephites. As his scene ends he tips his Fedora hat and says, "Adieu". --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dan-malone/message

We cover 2nd Nephi 33 - Jacob 7 and talk about Nephi's writing style versus Jacob's, how polygamy and racism are forbidden by the BoM, and how the book of Jacob culminates in a Hamilton style rap battle between Sherem and Jacob. Next week: Enos 1 - Mosiah 4.

[paypal-donation] DNA & Book of Mormon: It's a favorite topic of anti-Mormons because evidence seems to show that Native Americans came from Asia rather than from the Middle East as the Book of Mormon implies.  Dr. Ugo Perego is a population geneticist.  How does he explain this?  Would you be surprised that he talks about concubines? Ugo:  We cannot deny scientifically that there were people here before Lehi.  We don't know anything about the Jaredites really.  We think we know but we don't know anything about the Jaredites.  Could the Jaredites play any role with pre-Lehites?  We don't know to what extent.  We know there were people, probably millions of people. So Lehi's family comes.  They come from Jerusalem.  These people that are here come from Asia.  They are closely related genetically to Asian people.  Lehi's family comes, 30, 40, 50 people.  There are the Mulekites that are coming too.  We don't know how many.  We don't know if they are a population isolated.  We don't know if they mix with locals.  People say, “The Book of Mormon doesn't say anything about others here, so they didn't exist.”  True, but the Book of Mormon is also summary.  It is not a full record.  It's what Mormon decided to put in there, and if its focus is to bring people to Christ, it's going to talk about what people were doing to get ready or not ready for that.  It's going to leave a lot of the details out. ... This is first generation.  Is that possible that because they had the gospel and they encounter other people and then teach them the gospel and they become part of their group?  You go to Jacob chapter two.  Jacob, first generation in the Book of Mormon lands, how many people are there right now of that group, the original group?  How long have they been there?  In Jacob chapter two is frustrated with the Nephites for taking too many wives and too many concubines.  You have got a group of people that are what, 60-70, they are all cousins.  Where do you get these concubines from?  How are you satisfying your sexual desires with this? Actually I've been doing some discussions lately with some other people around here, according to Israelite tradition, because in the Old Testament it talks about concubines, and Hagar was a concubine of Abraham.  The reference to concubine usually—you can take wives, multiple wives according to Jewish tradition.  They are wife as long as they are part of your same culture or your same social status.  But concubines are usually foreign women.  They do not have the same status as your family, so you treat them as some sort of wife, there is a legal binding, but they do not have the same status.  Could it be that the Nephites were doing the same, some foreign women, some local indigenous women? GT:  Today with ISIS[1] in the Middle East, a lot of times they are taking these Yazidi women and they are basically sex slaves.  Is that kind of…? Ugo:  Sex slaves, that's another word for concubine.  It depends culturally where you are.  Sex slaves is probably the worst situation you can have.  I mean you are really there only to satisfy sexual pleasure.  Concubine has some rights as well.  In fact even today with Islam you can have up to four wives and as many concubines as you want but the problem is that when the husband dies, the inheritance only goes to the first four wives.  As long as the man is alive, the concubines have the same rights as the women, the same lifestyle or status, but then when the husband dies they don't get anything.  They leave. ... Then you have Jacob chapter seven, you have Sherem, the first anti-Christ that goes to Jacob and he says, “I have been looking for a long time to meet with you.”  How long does it take to meet somebody that just came with you from across the ocean?  You were on the same ship together for heaven's sake.  How long does it take to talk together? Then he says, in verse 4, Jacob 7:4 he says that Sherem was much learned with the langu...

Jacob teaches the power of the Scriptures and building a testimony through spiritual experiences as he deals with Sherem.

Sherem denies Christ, contends with Jacob, demands a sign, and is smitten of God—All of the prophets have spoken of Christ and his atonement—The Nephites lived out their days as wanderers, born in tribulation, and hated by the Lamanites. About 544–421 B.C.
