Sister Hilton's enthusiasm is so contagious. Her love for the Gospel shines forth and gets me hyped to learn more. Love the show!
Lynn, your excitement is encouraging. I love that you are your enthusiastic self. I also like Jack's manner of speaking. We're getting the best of two personalities and interpretations, which deepens my comprehension.
Their dynamic is amazing. I love her enthusiasm and his relaxed demeanor. It is a joy to watch.
Dynamic duo! Thanks! 🙌
Funny you mention “tents” I was studying that yesterday specifically in the Book of Mormon and we see tents with war camps, with migration, to surround king Benjamin who constructed a wood tower, showing there is no existing tower, perhaps a plain or open area (much like Christ speaking and His apostles echoing His words, like prophets today) and when Christ comes to His temple in the midst of the joy in tribulation and repair of the temple and their spirits. The words of Isaiah are spoken using imagery of a tent, something they have become very familiar with and applicable to their understanding, I found that fascinating. I love these videos! This is the talk radio, podcasts, and media we need rather than junk food media. Thank you!
Thank you Lynne and Jack! That was wonderful! xox
I had the privilege to have Professor Welch as my law professor in the 1980's. He is a genuine polymath. The Hugh Nibley for our day. I am grateful the Lord has given him gifts of intellect, languages, curiosity, insight, analysis, memory, and the ability to make synthetic connections to illuminate passages defying the theory an uneducated Joseph Smith concoted the Book of Mormon. Brother Welch's humility and diligence, and his generosity in sharing with us, is a fulfillment of his calling and of the restoration scriptures. Thank you both for producing these videos. May the Lord bless you always.

What a fantastic duo. Sister Hilton’s videos really helped me with my lesson prep last year and Brother Welch was one of my favorite law professors.
Wow I am hoping you do these together this year. You add so much context and understanding especially at a time when the church is under so much attack. A profound thank you to you both.
Thank you for this. I'm more excited about learning from the Book of Mormon with your program.
Thank you for pairing with Dr John Welch !! I would like to listen more from him without being interrupted. Awesome presentations ! Thank you Sister Wilson your enthusiasm is contagious. !
You say she interrupts. Then, you love her enthusiasm. Which is it. Tyler and Taylor never interrupt like Lynn does. It is almost too annoying to watch. I hope they talk to her.
Absolutely fascinating. Thanks!
I love the details you bring out! The significance of “tent,” “robbers,” other words. It has taught me that the small details matter!!
I caught the part about “robbers” but missed the significance of “tent.” Would you mind sharing?
Tent also refers to a tabernacle. They are the same word in Hebrew. See 17:30 to 18:35
Love the Love of Scripture and history - Sister Lynne Hilton Wilson is excited about .💞When she teaches, I get so excited to receive. She’s been through much with her health as have I. Seeing a brilliant women of God fulfill the measure of her creation warms my soul!Wow The exodus explanation,So exciting to hear from John W. Welch!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, insight, enthusiasm and testimony! ❤
Thank you ❤😊
This is amazing. Can’t wait to learn from them both!
Please keep doing this podcast together, love it!!
Beautifully taught! Thank you both!
My soul enjoyed learning
Really like this duo. Thank you and I’ll be tuning in for these.
Absolutely. Brilliant. I love the historical context. It's so important to me. Gives us fuel too when dissenters moan. This is so exciting. Thank you Lynne and Jack. You are the best!
So enjoyable and touching ❤
I never heard of the silver scroll! I have so much to learn!
Wow! Wow! What was explained in this presentation about the circumstances surrounding Laban's exit, is something I suspected for a long time. I didn't do the in depth research, but what Bro Welch said is exactly how I understand it, and it took time to get there.
What I do know is that the Lord gives life and he can take it too. This was a hard concept for me to understand at first in this context, but when I weighed up the impact it would've had on generations, It would have changed the course of life as we know it. Simply put, it was too much of a risk to let Laban live.
The healing, joy and many blessings that have come as a result of having the BOM today outweighs the death of Laban.
The BOM has also saved so many lives both here, and on the other side of the veil. If the Lord has to remove individuals from the game of life for the benefit of all his children, I can fully understand that.
There is a very narrow exception to the rule like Bro Welch said, and it has to be a really good reason.
I know people who have stopped reading the BOM at this point because they don't understand why the Lord would allow this to happen. I think in time they will understand, if they ask the spirit for help.
Thank you Sis Wilson and Bro Welch, I enjoyed this presentation ❤️
Thank you soooo much for your wonderful insights. No wonder why Nephi answers "I will go and do" because he had seen his father going and doing the Lord's will all his life and more when called as a prophet. Your insights about the law in Exodus were so wonderful because it helped me understand why Nephi was asked to slay Laban. Not only Nephi obeyed the Spirit, but it made sense to him because what he had learned in his youth was brought to his memory and recognized that it came from God. No wonder, again, why the prophet encourages our youth to attend seminary, or for us parents to study the scriptures with our children so that they can remember the word of God in the future, when they will need it the most. Thank you for your time and for sharing your knowledge with all of us. Excited for next week's ❤
I really appreciate you Sister Lynn Wilson coming back to help with more insights and books to think about getting into.
But I need more information and easier to understand ❤
I might be older than some people, yet ,I want to everyone to understand what I say to anybody I want to share with others and hand out a Book of Mormon ❤
Yes I continue to ask for real books to physically hand out.
Thanks you both for this video ❤📖🙏 10:50
Simply wonderful! You tied together all the personal and church history events as well as clarified the confusing order of the large plate/small plate compilation and translation. My husband and I toured the Church history sites and I’ve been studying the D&C and Book of Mormon, but still came away not remembering what was done where. This brought it all together so well and what a testimony to the truthfulness of the book and of the prophet’s calling from God. Thank you!!
this was so fun! I never knew that Lehi adopted Zoram!
I just love this episode and the insights that Sister Hilton and Brother Welch provided.
I loved this. I learn something new EVERY TIME!
This was so fascinating to watch. Thank you!
Watching from Laoag 4th Ward.
I'm 69 and been going solid since 2021 and I feel like I know nothing everyone in Church has every bit of scripture memorized and I shouldnt raise my hand in Sunday School or Priesthood,I'm just barely hanging on. Thank You for Mormon Matters rsdno
Your insights matter! If you have a thought, please raise your hand and participate. I love learning from others during Sunday school and elders quorum
Please don't feel your insight is never important. Even the Savior had to learn when he was here on earth Luke 2:52: “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.”
Do you have any study manuals or books?
Keep going my friend! It’s line upon line, precept on precept. Just keep going!! ❤❤❤
i think it is important to note that Nephi's revelatory experience in 1 Ne 2:16 is the great catalyst to bring him to believe in his own heart of 1Ne 3:7.
I am enjoying this new collab. Love Lyn ❤
Thank you to both of you great podcast take those nags out and it makes sense
Fascinating! TY
Jack Welch is a Riz King in the BofM - academic world
I love listening to Bro Jack Welch but I’m struggling with Sister Hilton Wilson enthusiasm. It’s distracting me . I enjoy the way it’s presented. Thankyou 🇬🇧
Brilliant video! Thank you very much
So much interesting facts I hadn’t known! Thank you!!
What an amazing lesson! Thanks ❤
I watch you video and I love it but now I have more questions so I will have to pray more
Women I have noticed seem to be a type for the church not just in prophecy but in the Book of Mormon, even in doubt and confirmation of Lehi, is no different than our latter-day church.
Thank you. You discuss reasons why Lehi was asked to testify to Jerusalem of the coming perils to that city. An additional reason might be that, by bearing testimony and prophesying, Lehi strengthened and cemented his own testimony. He would rely on that testimony in the coming years of exile, emigration and colonizing the promised land. We build our own testimony by bearing it.
thank you for your beautiful insight! --lynne
To add one more scripture to 28:40
Checkout a similar scripture from 1 King 20: 42 And he said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.
I cannot find the app you introduced at the beginning. I tried Scripture Central app, Book of Mormon Central app, Come Follow Me app.......nothing has the drop down menu you mentioned. Help😢
I love this new format with Jack! Your discussions are so interesting. I would like to buy Jack’s book but can’t find a paperback copy to purchase in England. Can You recommend a place I can get it? Thank you so much! ❤
Me too! I live in Germany and I would like to buy a paperback copy of his book. How can I get it?
Where can I download the pdf version of INSPIRATIONS & INSIGHTS FROM THE BOOK OF MORMON? Thank you!
Dr. David A. Falk postulates that the Ark of the Covenant was likely along with other processional furniture and items and was melted down in the same large furnace later used where an angel saved Daniel’s brethren. I would speculate that the wisemen were granted the opportunity to copy their metal records so the metals could be used to pay off the army of Babylon, and I think that Nebakenazer would allow this as his understanding was that the Jewish God allowed him to take Jerusalem, so he possibly honors this by the preservation of record which Daniel and his brethren learn from and add to. Maybe.
Another reason why receiving the family anstry tree
Bringing to wherever they traveled
They wouldn't be loved by any of the people who take people away.
Can you point out the learning of the Jews from verse 2, behind the law of Moses?
Lynn, I love your enthusiasm and insights, but sometimes your excitement causes you to interrupt Jack Welch, who also has valuable insights to share. It seems that his thoughts often get cut off, and I want to hear what both of you have to say. I am so grateful for all the knowledge you are both able to share and for your willingness to share it. I'm certainly looking forward to this year's study of the Book of Mormon. .
I would love and appreciate the text spell checked and edited before presentation. Elma for Alma and copon for ???. I am unable to find the correct spelling anywhere for a scribe or "any my name." It would be lovely to know your true wording. Thank you! Such an informative series I would like to be exacting in my note taking. Thank you.
Crazy that Nephi was only 14 or 15 when all this happened, I had no idea I could never imagine my brother goong off at that age 😮
Also interested to know, how he wouldn't be viewed as a thief and an impostor.. and Zoram.. what if he haf a family... a mother, siblings etc and just dissapears forever
Nephi getting the brass plates doesn't explain why Nephi was commanded to kill Laban.
Nephi could have rendered Laban unconscious, given Laban was drunk already. Nephi could have then bound and gagged him rather than killing him.
The Lord wanted Nephi to kill Laban to understand something much greater. Remember Nephi since young knew full well "Thou shalt not kill."
There's a couple things that I've always wondered about like the Angel appearing to them in glory and light, there is just no evidence for that but that is how It always seems to be depicted. Isn't it also possible that this event had no real lasting impact for Laman and Lemuel (other than them constantly accusing Nephi of trying to be their ruler) because the Angel appeared to look like a normal man and delivered his message, certainly would have shocked them because this guy came out of nowhere saw what they were doing and then said what he said but in turn caused them to doubt it later, just a thought.
Also the other thing I've been pondering lately is Nephi killing Laban but not why it was ok for him to do it, I mean God told him to do it so of course it was ok but why did God specifically have him do it. God could have had Laban have a heart attack and already been dead or died in a myriad of different ways but why did God put Nephi in that situation of having to chop off another man's head with his own sword, the one thing spiritually confident Nephi probably never expected was going to happen when he went into the city for the plates, maybe there is a deeper lesson there but unfortunately he never really addresses it other than through the lens of legalese.
An angel is only a messenger, not the testifier. We can have all kinds of spiritual experiences from time to time that can leave an impression, but seldom is that impression a lasting one, unless the Holy Ghost testifies of it. As far as Nephi cutting off Laban’s head goes, he was commanded to do so. Besides, under the law of Moses, Laban was already guilty of crimes that could have resulted in his death. Anyhow, there was obviously a lesson for Nephi in doing something so difficult. Ask yourself why the Lord has any of us do the things He needs, when He could very well do them Himself.
@@kevinfrancis4255 I really don't care that Nephi slew him but in our current times as members of the church I don't think we could possibly fathom God asking someone to do such a thing but he could, how far would you be willing to go for God? I think that is something worth pondering. Nephi definitely learned something about Nephi that night.
I agree with you. I’ve asked myself that very question. I do not believe God would ask anyone nowadays to take the life of another the way Nephi did. Our society, and our laws are so different now compared to then.
Understand that Laban has attempted to kill Nephi and his brothers after they went in with their father’s wealth was left behind, to make a trade with Laban for the Brass Plates, so they had to run away for their lives and left the wealth that had taken in, known this that the Lord toNephi that it is better to lose One life than lose a Nation, I’m sure you understand what that means, also understand that the Nephi told his father that he will go and do what the Lord commanded, Nephi knew it was the Lord was asking him to go and get the Brass Plates, it was not his father, and he said that the Lord will never ask him to do anything, unless he has prepared a way to accomplish it, when we are commanded by the Lord to do something regardless of what the command, we need to do it even if it will cause us our lives, that is to show our Heavenly Father that we are all in with Him and Jesus Christ in fulfilling Their Will what ever it will take to accomplish it
19:38 As I am trying to understand you don't grasp all the Why's.
Faith grows. Please try to see 1 had to die,for the many.
He personally grows, each time you study 📖 in prayer ask questions that you have on the shelf.
❤❤from Philippines paraiso ward sagay saints negros occidental
I served in Sagay 20 years ago ❤ love the Philippines!
thank you for joining us!--lynne
Calm down madam let him finished his lines 😅😮😂
Laban's robbing them of their gold and trying to kill them also legally justified Laban's death. This is set forth in 1 Nephi 3:13; 4:11.
I'm a fan, but I don't love the music between the topics. Sorry! Love every other part if it. Thank you!
thanks for the feedback. We like the transition it communicates, but need to figure out something better! --lynne
Sister please slow down! You speak so fast! I love this but you need to work on your radio voice. Please please slow down.
1 Nephi 2:13 called Jerusalem the "great city", meaning that it was large. It wasn't a town.
...there are other low estimates of a population around 6000. "Great cities" were smaller than we think! --lynne
@dowwilson8813 The battles in the OT describe armies and groups in the hundreds of thousands. Currently at least 30,000 people live within the area enclosed by the old walls.
I wish that Lynne would give Dr. Welch some time to present his ideas rather than constantly jumping in and interrupting what he is saying. The timing just doesn't seem to be balanced.
You wish Dr. Wilson would give Dr. Welch time to talk? He just talked for at least a minute, with another two in conversation. They give and take, with interjection on both sides-which is not interruption. Seeing these comments, I’m watching for interruption and don’t hear it.
As a new listener, I've enjoyed listened. It's always challenging to make a constructive critique...I am challenged to listen to the female moderator. She is loud, speaks so quickly with a nearly pressured type of speech. I hope I can receive heavenly help to be able to continue.. none of us are perfect and I truly appreciate this sister's effort in creating this content.
She has had a life of study and is very excited about this topic. Keep reading and praying sincerely. I can promise you the Lord answers prayers when we have real intentions to act when he answers. God bless you!
I think her delivery is perfect. Her love for the Gospel really shines through, and it is delightful.
Depending on what you watch or listen to the podcast with, you can slow down the speed of the presentation so that it's easier for you to understand.
She is very good, but needs to take a calmer, more matter of fact approach.
@@lwhiterich1150 I think her enthusiasm is infectious. It is exactly what some of us need.
Interesting the beheading would've caused so much spillage. Zoram must've been blind not to notice all the blood. This can't be literal.
Bless her heart, But Lynn...you talk way too much. Some of you (sisters) are excited for Lynn...but everyone...Lynn has to say something all the time..."amazing"..."what about Sam"..."oh, he is a witness." My gosh.
How can anyone complain about Sister Wilson’s style? Could you do better? I’m so grateful for her efforts and willingness to share her knowledge with us.
@@julielarsen1314 ALL of the other pods...even Emily...allow the other to complete their thought. If Lynn were in your SS class and literally exclaiming every time, lol, the teacher says something...you would say. "her efforts and willingness to share are wonderful?" I don't think so. The teacher would certainly turn the class over to her, hahaha
Emily spoke over David A LOT@@byutobcs
Wow, @byutobcs. You refer to Dr. Wilson as “Lynn” instead of Dr. Wilson-you don’t acknowledge her expertise. It sounds like you can’t hear that they give and take and that both interject as the other talks. It sounds a lot like you’d prefer the men did the talking. (You might be interested in research by the Utah Women in Leadership Project: a majority of men hear female speech as interruption.)
There is nothing sacred about the Book of Mormon. God’s word, the Holy Bible says it is complete. End of discussion.
Only there is too much proven evidence that there are more text besides the bible. You are missing so much because your mind is closed, there is more to this world than you know.
God commands prophets to write his words and lead the people who will believe. Nowhere does the Bible indicate that “no other revelation can ever be given.”
God’s own pattern (from Adam through John the Revelator and the Book of Mormon prophets) is revelation through a prophet.
The anomaly is a period of silence from heaven.
The Biblical injunction not to add to (or diminish from) the word of God is for you and me: it is not for prophets, whose entire role is to receive and record revelation! (The same injunction found in Revelation is found in Deuteronomy. If no one were to “add to the word,” we’d have nothing beyond Deuteronomy.)
Sounds interesting but she is a bit over powering. Calm down a bit. He speaks softly, articulately, and with knowledge.
Well...she is the host.
She talks very masculine, which I've noticed common with females who talk regularly on platforms. Inevitable really as the act of proclamation or heralding was always a males role.
Good grief. Did you happen to hear or read President Nelson’s talk, “A Plea to My Sisters”? He’s urging sisters to use their gifts, and here you are, wanting to smack her down for doing so? Perhaps you were the intended audience for his talk.
Femininity is an awesome gift
