Another Three Nephite Story? “We Go to the White Man Churches…”

[@JohnMc-q8s]

The Nephites were not Christians. Didn’t they travel to The Americas around 600 Before Christ.

False. I would urge you to read and get more familiar with the Book of Mormon to help you clear up that confusion. Sometimes we have questions posed on this channel, sometimes seemingly innocent regarding contextual uses of words. If we are looking at the strict context of that word it is simply a term we use that people understand refers to religion taught and practiced in the Bible. The people of Nephi brought over the same religion that they practiced along with ancient Jerusulem, the same religion as existed in the Bible. The term Christian at one point was actually used in deragotory ways to separate Christian followers from those other religious persuasions which existed from the Old Testament era, very much similar to how the term "Mormons" has been used.. The people of Nephi which you refer to, like the prophets of the Old Testament, had prophets which led them to these two continents and were never lacking in knowledge and principles of what we refer to as the gospel of Christians or Christianity.

@@thelatterdayteacher christ-ian is a follower of Christ Jesus. The Jadeites and left Jeru-Salem Jaredites This group left the Tower of Babel and arrived in the Americas about 2200 B.C. They flourished until about 600 B.C., when wars destroyed everyone but Coriantumr. (See Ether 1-15.) Nephites Lehi’s group left Jerusalem about 600 B.C. and came to the Americas. Gradually his posterity became divided. After Lehi died, the righteous followed his son Nephi northward. They became known as Nephites. (See 1 Nephi 1-22; 2 Nephi 1-5.) I am not knocking Mormonism simply saying happens over 2000 years and 600 years before Christ’s sacrifice. They were Hebrews following the ‘Moasic Law’. The strict context of Christian is a follower of Christ Jesus. Regardless of race creed culture and gender. If as the Mormon’s say after the Crucifixion Christ Yeshua appeared in the Americas then they might have become Christians. Christian is a title not an ethnic group. Christ’s teachings were for all of humanity breaking away from the constraints of the old Hebrew Folk Soul. In good ways John
