Funny, but I have never heard of this book in the true and living Holy Bilble...

01:11:16 in Alma ch. 22, vs. 18: ”I will give all my sins to know thee,” these are my favorite words in the ENTIRE Book of Mormon. Such a baring of the soul, such openness.

I think Ammon being sent to tend the flocks of the King was a punishment. You've got a crown prince refusing a political marriage, the King is like okay, lets just get rid of this weirdo in a way that "absolves" him of guilt. His astonishment makes more sense when Ammon comes back unharmed.

Late to the video here, question is, God made the rules, God made the punishments, He's the one who decides if suffering is necessary or not. He is all powerful. For whatever reason he decided someone must die for his pleasure. Why? Why does God make rules that require death for mercy when he can give mercy to the rules he created without death or suffering. God deemed a human sacrifice was necessary, being all powerful, God did not need to do that. God does not need, period. This is the question I have yet to find an answer to. I understand why God did it, but that is based on the rules and principals He created, Why did God create those rules in the first place?

No 570. …. Loving You Bro Halverson and Your Love for the Lord and the Rest of Us ! Thank You Thank You. Thank You for Feeding Us Sheep ! I feel Love that has been shared in our pre existence, now and future and it is a most wonderful feeling! ! Sending my hugs and joys to you and yours! How Father has Blessed Us and How it is Everything !

Did we not cast out devils in your name, Jesus said I know you not. Could it be talking about Islam casting out so called devils in Jesus name?.???

Thank you Brother Halverson you have a special talent of making the scriptures come alive❤

Thank you for the time and effort you put into your lessons. The sweet spirit it brings to all of us listening is a true continuation of your mission to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to the world.

Thank you for adding the extended videos… your awesome

Thank you

I thought it interesting that the king’s first response was to offer his daughter in marriage, which would have meant a high status. When he refused, the king sent him to probable certain death. He didn’t know what to make of him.

Un saludo desde Omaha NC!

When King Lamoni can see that Ammon is not your normal Nephite. when he offers his daughter for wife. This was a political move by Lamoni to keep Ammon close by and within his power. That way if he was up to no good, the king would find out about it from his daughter. Ammon was wise to decline the offer. Think about Ammon as a youth, he was a son of a king. He would have been skilled to lead and be a leader in combat to defend the kingdom. Can you imagine for a minute, young Ammon and his brothers, "Dad we've been doing sword practice all morning long?". Oh he was prepared.

I appreciate the discussion of divine restraint, but I also wonder why you didn't discuss the main reason why God allowed the women and children to be burned, so that righteous justice could come to pass, not only for those leaders who were killed in the prison, but later when all of Ammonihah was destroyed in one day.

I've always wondered about Amulek's wife and children, whether they were a part of the kindred who rejected him or part of the women and children who were martyred. I would love to know, and look forward to meeting him and his family someday.

I served in the San Diego temple for years, and many are the times I was up and down that beautiful staircase. My daughter was married in the San Diego temple, and I don't think there's a more lovely bride's room than the one there. The whole place feels like the Celestial City, as does each temple I've ever entered. Bro Halverson, how lucky we all are to have you!

THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DOTHINKING OF OTHERS AND PRAYING FOR THEM REALLY BLESSESBOTH PARTYS

In observing what the Saints do, think and feel, the idea of perfection in Christ is made manifest

I think the combination of the Lockdowns in 2020 through 2021/'22 and increased chaotic darkness has created those who choose to continue in Jesus Christ, a Greater Thirst and Hunger for the Word of God! Also, reading books (for me at least) has been a struggle of many younger people. However, since many of the Rising Generations have been turning towards Audiobooks and Podcasts, I think This is why Older Generational People, such as yourself, have seen an increase to tune into platforms like yours. Thank you for your willingness to share your thoughts and testimony through this channel and through your podcast! Thank you for helping me stay Unshaken, as you've invited the Holy Spirit to be with us during each lesson.

I've been studying 📖 🙃 broke my glasses and magnifying glass 🔍 and still enjoying the 2nd time for me in Come Follow Me Books 📚 Love each ones. Moved to Florida this week and between unpacking and everyone getting use to each other and finding place for all my things. Books come in my room ❤ Almost all are church or related to, by members. ❤ Can't find my large copy of scriptures But I'm still Trying to read a whole copy of The Book Of Mormon monthly or something to celebrate The Book Of Mormon Year ❤❤❤ Oh! I love being a member and trying to share,my sweet daughter and son, grandchildren and sweet son in law All don't belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saints. Don't know what they went through to stop attending their church, All went to Baptist Church, and happy about it... I'm trying to keep my mouth shut until I'm told now is the Time to Speak Then I will have proper words She helps so many people, giving me a bed room and letting me keep most of my SSI Check I am disabled and need help getting to Drs.,Dentist and Eye care. Please pray for everyone 🙏 16:05

So are we seeing a big ol chiasmus in ch. 13 and in the plan of salvation? Atonement Fall Creation Creation Fall Atonement

Bother Halverson! I just booked my trip for Faith Matters Restore! Is there any chance of getting your autograph while I am there? My BFF and I are big fans.

I have felt this way all of my life. I’ve never felt that I belong. But I have a testimony of Jesus Christ. He helps me with my feelings of not belonging because I belong to Him. I sit alone at church most of the time. This use to give me great pain. As I prayed about these feelings the Spirit helped me see the end from the beginning. I am never really alone. He is with me every step of my journey. I will have an interview with Him when I pass on. He’ll not be asking me about what others did or didn’t do to or for me. He’ll be asking what I have done for others. This has changed how I feel about going to Church. How can I serve Him? Service is my Faith in action. I strive to serve and help and bless wherever I can. I’m not worried about making or having friends. I want them. I won’t say no to anyone who wants to be friends with me. But this isn’t my focus. It’s made all the difference for me. I can give my loneliness to Jesus Christ and He blesses me with the ability to serve with joy, peace and true charity for my fellowmen.

I am from Philippines and moved to the US. I had a hard time making true friends with the members here in the US. Everybody may say hi and how are you, but nobody truly cares. It's a struggle for me. I don't want to stay away from church, but I feel I'm always a stranger.

I love listening to your CFM. I share what I learn with my primary kiddos in singing time. Thank you for your dedication to the gospel and to Jesus Christ.❤

Really enjoyed this! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and insights with us ❤ I love the scriptures they teach us such great principles of life. They give us hope and peace and comfort! They give us courage to do the right things and to strive to be better. I love Alma and Amulek and their story. ❤

Thank you so much, Brother Halverson!

Thank you! Thank you! Never stop ❤

Such a beautiful story... the young man who became your companion, truly signified his belief and faith in the Church of Jesus Christ...never deviating from what he felt and believed, sacrificing his family to serve the Lord...such a very powerful testimony of his faith and his sacrifices.

Wonderful class Thank you Brother Jared Halverson ❤❤❤ 26:15

Brother Jared Halverson, Thank you for helping me with understanding even more.We had a lot of visitors, investigators coming to see what they can get kinda like food items and other things. But then disappear. Others coming back then a death, then stepping back again... We really reach out, but an elderly parent who smoked 🚬 Cancer just can happen, if anger happens for a while We continue to pray for returning 🙏 14:23

The Godless people were probably Australian 😢

This was a beautiful lesson. Thank you for your expression of these wonderful sermons from Alma. These passages have been so profound and your treatment has highlighted its magnificent teaching ♥️

I think Israel was “a chosen people“ merely to show the rest of the nations how God deals with humankind. Much like classroom teachers will call one or two students to stand at the front of the class to demonstrate part of the lesson. But then Israel had a problem with cultural ego not realizing that they’re just the kid at the front of the classroom for the benefit of all others to see. Apparently they didn’t think the rest of the classroom mattered.

Alma 19:13 says, "For as sure as thou livest, behold, I have seen my Redeemer; and he shall come forth, and be born of a woman, and he shall redeem all mankind who believe on his name". The Plan of Salvation defines the telestial and terrestrial inhabitants as those who did not repent and those who rejected the gospel. Since they did not believe on his name, what does it mean that they are not redeemed?

The discussion of Alma 7:10 - 14 caused me to weep as I began to understand Jesus Christ's depth of love for me. I desire to be "established in the path" more firmly.

Words can not express how your heavenly gifts and talents have assisted me in greater depth to love the Word with all my soul and the amazing leaders and Prophet President Russell M Nelson and the Saviors church, must of all how to really come unto Christ and know and without words to express have a love of and joy in Heavenly Father, the savior Jesus Christ, and the Plan of happiness. Thank you, my friend. Dan Hendry

❤❤❤

Amen

I think it would be really cool if the Lord let Abinadi do the job of turning young Alma Jr. around.

Thank you for what you stated shortly after the 47:00 minute mark. I never liked the phrase "everything happens for a reason." I like the example you gave. I always thought this phrase makes it seem like God orchestrating things. I would ask, "Everything happens for a reason....child abuse both physical and sexual? rape? serial killings? I never liked this phrase and what it implies about God. I appreciate you calling it a counterfeit truth because like you said it removes agency and turns us into robots, plus implies God wants these evil things to happen to people.

I might be behind for the Sunday lessons, but I sure enjoy this!

I love the picture of Jesus (Jonathan Roumie) from The Chosen on your bookcase. I love your lessons.

Thank you very much.😍👏

Brother Halverson I LOVE your podcasts!!! You are knowledgeable .... Filled with the Spirit , caring. Compassionate.... Brutally honest, and funny!! I am one of the sisters in back of the class with the unraised hand.... But I do listen to you everyday.... I am so grateful for your Time.....Preparation ....and Teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. Please continue to strengthen us all🥰🥰🥰🥰

This is a false teacher. This is a heretic. If you believe what he is saying, Satan has blinded your eyes. This is Mormon doctrine. They've tried to distance themselves from this heretical name. False teachers, Paul warned us of these in Galatians. He says whether we or an angel from Heaven brings to you another gospel which is not another gospel. Let him be accursed....😢

It was good worthy of 3 hours thanks you so much , god bless you

Soooo Christians, we are Evangelists afterall - we know Jesus Christ and have received the Spirit of God. We tend to think of conversion as a religious undertaking and not a commitment to the Savior and His teachings. This is a great lesson of how the Spirit and conversion can take MANY FORMS to many different people in many different cultures throughout time.
