  • Alma the younger explains his conversion to his son Helaman, which began when an angel appeared to Alma and told him to repent,,which began when an angel appeared and told him to repent. Alma reminds Helaman how important it is to be born of God. Alma promises Helaman that if he keeps the commandments of God, he will prosper in the land. Alma hands a sacred record of the people, the plates of brass, over to him. It is now Helaman’s responsibility to keep a record of the people.

    Based on Alma 35:15-16; Alma 36:1, 3, 5, 13, 16-20, 24-26, 30; Alma 37:1-11, 35-41, 45, 47.
    Alma 35
    15 Now Alma, being grieved for the iniquity of his people, yea for the wars, and the bloodsheds, and the contentions which were among them; and having been to declare the word, or sent to declare the word, among all the people in every city; and seeing that the hearts of the people began to wax hard, and that they began to be offended because of the strictness of the word, his heart was exceedingly sorrowful.
    16 Therefore, he caused that his sons should be gathered together, that he might give unto them every one his charge, separately, concerning the things pertaining unto righteousness. And we have an account of his commandments, which he gave unto them according to his own record.
    Alma 36
    1 My son, give ear to my words; for I swear unto you, that inasmuch as ye shall keep the commandments of God ye shall prosper in the land.
    3 And now, O my son Helaman, behold, thou art in thy youth, and therefore, I beseech of thee that thou wilt hear my words and learn of me; for I do know that whosoever shall put their trust in God shall be supported in their trials, and their troubles, and their afflictions, and shall be lifted up at the last day.
    5 Now, behold, I say unto you, if I had not been born of God I should not have known these things; but God has, by the mouth of his holy angel, made these things known unto me, not of any worthiness of myself;
    13 Yea, I did remember all my sins and iniquities, for which I was tormented with the pains of hell; yea, I saw that I had rebelled against my God, and that I had not kept his holy commandments.
    16 And now, for three days and for three nights was I racked, even with the pains of a damned soul.
    17 And it came to pass that as I was thus racked with torment, while I was harrowed up by the memory of my many sins, behold, I remembered also to have heard my father prophesy unto the people concerning the coming of one Jesus Christ, a Son of God, to atone for the sins of the world.
    18 Now, as my mind caught hold upon this thought, I cried within my heart: O Jesus, thou Son of God, have mercy on me, who am in the gall of bitterness, and am encircled about by the everlasting chains of death.
    19 And now, behold, when I thought this, I could remember my pains no more; yea, I was harrowed up by the memory of my sins no more.
    20 And oh, what joy, and what marvelous light I did behold; yea, my soul was filled with joy as exceeding as was my pain!
    24 Yea, and from that time even until now, I have labored without ceasing, that I might bring souls unto repentance; that I might bring them to taste of the exceeding joy of which I did taste; that they might also be born of God, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
    25 Yea, and now behold, O my son, the Lord doth give me exceedingly great joy in the fruit of my labors;
    26 For because of the word which he has imparted unto me, behold, many have been born of
    God, and have tasted as I have tasted, and have seen eye to eye as I have seen; therefore they do know of these things of which I have spoken, as I do know; and the knowledge which I have is of God.
    30 But behold, my son, this is not all; for ye ought to know as I do know, that inasmuch as ye shall keep the commandments of God ye shall prosper in the land; and ye ought to know also, that inasmuch as ye will not keep the commandments of God ye shall be cut off from his presence. Now this is according to his word.
    Alma 37
    1 And now, my son Helaman, I command you that ye take the records which have been entrusted with me;
    2 And I also command you that ye keep a record of this people, according as I have done, upon the plates of Nephi, and keep all these things sacred which I have kept, even as I have kept them; for it is for a wise purpose that they are kept.
    3 And these plates of brass, which contain these engravings, which have the records of the holy scriptures upon them, which have the genealogy of our forefathers, even from the beginning-

    I am so grateful for this scripture and personal experience that has helped me have Hope in Jesus Christ and His Atonement. I am grateful for the knowledge of Christ's Atonement and Mercy. I am grateful for the opportunity for repentance and opportunity to turn back to God. I am grateful for multiple chances to repent and opportunity to improve. ❤️✝️

      Why? Is this where they ran out of money? Darn it! They've been talking about the Coming oi The Savior for months now and. finally, we're getting close to the big 12.5 MM scaled quake that lasted forever and then the descent of the Big Dude Himself to the surviving inhabitants, and the Special Effects budget dies. Good Night!!! Why? I want my money back! False advertising!

      @@JaefarSABNW It was nowhere, actually. Joseph wanted to create the biggest quake in the history of the world so he made one up that lasted for magnitudes of lengths longer than any that anybody had ever heard of. The biggest quake in the history of recorded quakes took place in 1960 in Chile and was a 9.5. It lasted around 3.5 minutes. The one Joseph came up with lasted for at least an hour (to my recollection) so it was a, oh, 50 magnitude, I guess. The devastation would have been pretty complete and the land scars, which have never been found, pretty spectacular. But never mind. I wanted to see it happen in the movie!!!!!

    • @traczebabe
      @traczebabe Před 4 lety +7

      What is the proof that Paul existed? The Bible. The brass plates are also scripture. They were passed down. If you believe the Bible, you will believe the Book of Mormon. They go hand in hand. Alma was real. The way you can give testimony of Paul, along with many others. I give testimony of the prophet Alma, and mine too can be backed by many others. He is real, as is Paul. He followed the teachings of Christ just as Paul did.

      the gospel of Jesus Christ is not about proof, it's about faith. The Holy Ghost confirms the truth to anyone who sincerely seeks having faith. I've done it and anyone can do it, that's a miracle available to all God's children because He loves us. I hope that helps.

      And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.

    • @terrancenelson713
      @terrancenelson713 Před 3 lety +3

      When you require "proof" to have faith, your faith is misplaced. Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon in around 62 days. There is no way, without divine power, that an entire book of this magnitude could be written, let alone be mirrored or copied, in such time and detail. The stories are far too eloquent, his education alone could have not let him write such a book, but I dont need that at all to have the Spirit manifest to myself, that this is truly another account of Jesus Christ and his people on the American Continent.
