    I’ve spent some time with Rabbi Joe in person and he is as genuine as he seems. Full of light and love. And he takes an approach to the Word that we typically do not see in the church. Think of how our Jewish brethren have had 3000+ years with the Holy Scriptures. We have had 200. We are babes in the woods in appreciating the sacred texts. May we ever remember to be thankful to the Jews as Nephi admonishes, for preserving the holy scriptures.

    Im a Mexican LDS member living in Cancún and I love the way Rabbi Joe explains the Ebrew lens He uses to understand the BOM and that helped me way much to understand it too please invite Him as much as you can to me it feels like having a family member of someone from the BOM explaining how his ancestors view the sacred and spiritual things.😊

    @ranzelganzon850 Před měsícem +22

    As I listen to Rabbi Joe's expounding of every word in just a single verse makes me think how shallow our own understanding of the meaning of the scripture as an LDS. Hope we can hear more from Rabbi Joe of his own interpretation of the holiness that lies deep within every word of the Book of Mormon. 😊❤❤❤ So powerful!

    This was so enlightening. When I first read the Book of Mormon, seeing "and it came to pass" was jarring and frustrating (due to its repetition). This has taught me the value of this phrase, and its necessity. And I feel challenged to look for more instances of it. Thank you both for sharing this with us! (And yes, more, please!)

    Thank you, I shall watch again.

    • @scripturecentralofficial
      @scripturecentralofficial  Před měsícem +7

      That's a great concern which Rabbi Joe addresses in the video. When he studies a sacred text, he takes the words at their value. He intentionally doesn't read this "in it's context." As a Rabbi, he is analyzing and exploring the intricacies of the text as it is written. As you join us each week, we think that viewers will begin developing better lenses for exploring the scriptures, as they look for a deeper level of understanding. Thanks for your comment! :)

    This podcast is just amazing! I am one who whips through the scriptures and says, '"I'm done." without even knowing sometimes what I've read. This reading of ONE verse blew me away. Reading a whole chapter this way would take a looooong time but would be so insightful! Thank you for sharing your friend with us and letting me know that there is so much more to each verse than I've been seeing. I plan to slow way down and read word for word to dive deeply into the scriptures.

    This is wonderful! How I appreciate hearing the deeper meaning, of treasuring every word of the scriptures. It has motivated me to think more deeply about the words, and to find the 'hidden treasures' right in front of us that we might not be aware of, I certainly wasn't aware. This has opened my eyes to greater knowledge. Thank you so much Scripture Central and Rabbi Joe! Please continue to enlighten us.
