Introductory Pages | Jan 1-7 | Book of Mormon Matters with John W. Welch and Lynne Hilton Wilson

[@dorafurness466]

Thank you both for sharing your time and helping me to understand The Book of Mormon . I do so enjoy listening to both of you Thank you again and God Bless you both.

[@sleim754]

If you are considering visiting the Smith home in Pa, DO NOT look for Harmony. If you do you will end up near Pittsburg. Look instead for Susquehanna depot Pa. Oakland township. There is also a Susquehanna city that is NOT where you want to go. There is a wonderful visitors center, the Hale home (reconstructed), Smith home (reconstructed) and the burial site of the Smith baby.

[@arlenegutierrez1880]

Wow! That is a huge help! Thank you! I was searching on the complete opposite end of the state!

[@wendyfoster5579]

You know when you don’t want it to end that it has been inspiring. Thank you for this important introduction to the Book of Mormon.

[@andyrosenberg8939]

Really thoughtful and well done. You are both terrific. One constructive suggestion, Lynne, please let John finish his comment without talking over him.

[@kiapo6007]

AMEN to this! She was so disruptive

[@JBMontana500]

We are so lucky to have two great scholars discuss this together; thank you for your wonderful insights into the miracle of the book of mormon.

[@MariaCandelaful]

@@102wingnut kindly and forgiving as one goes along please

[@102wingnut]

@@tinacarvalhoBodyandHealth for sure. I just noticed I had a spelling mistake in MY original post so when you said you had the same thought I was poking fun at myself for my own mistake. Your words were perfect. Hope you have a nice weekend and a Merry Christmas ❤️

[@jacechan9445]

Never has the introduction and Title page been more interesting!

[@katykristensen302]

I've been a member all my life, 7 generations in all directions and this was almost all new information. WOW!! I'm sharing with everyone!!!

[@rachelandcolemangerstner2187]

Thank you for your insights! And I LOVE Jack Welch’s contributions-he’s amazing!!

[@lindakessler7167]

I appreciate what Jack offers the lesson. It is a complimentary fit. Both of you are scholars worthy of this subject.

[@shaunjeff45]

The book of Mormon is main so much to me, it's has the right spirit protein to keep me healthy in the presence of our all Loving Heavenly Father.

[@elizabethpeterson9914]

[@peggybogar3059]

Oh my word, I'm so excited for the book of mormon studies next year ❤

[@isisavila4672]

Yay!!!!! I’m so excited that you both are going to be with us in 2024 to study the Book of Mormon! 🎉

[@kaesundberg562]

I love this combination of presenters. I learned a lot.

[@hollywaite1388]

[@gloriahormazabal2913]

Thanks so much for all your insights. It is always wonderful to start reading the Book of Mormon again, each time we learn more, it is an endless source of Knowledge and inspiration. Greetings from Santiago, CHILE.

[@duanecardall887]

What a great way to begin our yearlong study of the Book of Mormon!!!

[@hennore]

Love their enthusiasm! Such a great video 😇 thank you for putting this together 🙏🏾

[@paulamariadiascosta5915]

Thank you so much from Portugal ❤! A fantastic presentation. Lots of jewels here and much to ponder.

[@vaughangarrick]

We are spoiled for choice with yt and podcasts. Excited about studying the BOM this year

[@margaretrodee3519]

Great intro! Wow! Can't wait for this whole year of study. Thank you for putting this all together!

[@heikedroege809]

It would be wonderful if someone invited a guest to give them a real chance to speak.

[@ValerieFulmer]

I notice that happens in other videos/podcasts as well. Sometimes the host gets so excited they talk over the guest at times. Sister Hilton is passionate and excited to talk about the Book of Mormon. Which is awesome.

[@tanyas.3812]

GREAT JOB GUYS…..I’M SO EXCITED TO BE STUDYING THE BOOK OF MORMON AGAIN FOR THIS UP COMING YEAR.

[@AnaliliB]

Thank you for consacrating your time to do these lectures. ❤

[@sydneybond8793]

Wonderful presentation. Thank you.

[@davequist7086]

My goodness! How wonderful! I love the insight between the two of you. And I’m thrilled that we have the Joseph Smith papers now with more insight than we have ever had in the past. How wonderful!

[@tinacarvalhoBodyandHealth]

So beautiful how Father has loving people to help many of us continue to delight in His Love. And its Joseph Smith Birthday celebration

[@joannenardoni17]

Church of Jesus Christ, we talk of Christ.

[@Vintage_Dave_T]

I hope that both of you continue this for our entire study of the Book of Mormon. Really good and natural interaction. Thank you.

[@KBColeLong]

It promises to be a great year of studying the scriptures!

[@jeffmccollum7837]

Fascinating conversation. Thank you.

[@dinocollins720]

John Welch is one of my all time favorite gospel scholars!!! Will he be joining every week???

[@dowwilson8813]

yes. He and Lynne will be doing it all year

[@22bixby]

Thank you so much for this wonderful video. The two of you are so easy to listen to and you open up the beauty and glorious purpose of these pages.

[@adrianw3985]

I am excited for this year to be the study of The Book Of Mormon. I need to read this book more frequently. It is a life changing text. God Bless us in our need.

[@m.harris2429]

Wow!! Just into it a few minutes and learned new information already! Thank you both.❤

[@MarleneKerr-p6x]

This teaches us that God doesn't give people all the truth until they are ready to accept it because God wont be mocked

[@jaredloyd1327]

This was absolutely amazing, these two people have a natural love for the scriptures and the Lord that just radiates as they converse about both of them. I really look forward to watching both of them this year. There was also a ton of information that illuminates these topics. I am hooked on listening to them!

[@AdamSm-w5y]

At marker 24:57 in this video where Mosiah 28:9 is being referenced about an account of the Jaredites to be given, I believe Mosiah 28:19 is the reference to use. Hope this helps others. These videos are helpful and insightful. We will continue to watch and learn. Thank you!

[@RitaandKenSpencer]

“And this account shall be written hereafter; for behold, it is expedient that all people should know the things which are written in this account” (Mosiah 28:19).

[@kimburlysaclarkhs7323]

Wow! Everything was so amazing! I wish my mind could hold everything I have learned. I am with Mary Whitmer... if you can skip rocks you can chop some wood. Sometimes the people who prop up our bishops, stake presidents, general authorities have more work and even more responsibilities, so that the work can go on. it is alright to take a break or get visited by an angel to get yourself renewed. Giggle! Go Mary!

[@sharlenewardrop6249]

Thank you so much for taking your time to do these

[@josecanterovilla5397]

I really hope Professor Welch talking about the pearl of great price!

[@QuinnCloudz]

Thank yall for this convo!

[@JenTV10]

Thank you so much for this wonderful lesson!

[@annanicholson6925]

Absolutely fascinating. Thank you.

[@sarapawsonherrington2595]

Thank you for the glorious eye opening teachings that help us move to a new level of study of the Book of Mormon! I appreciate all the work and energy that you all put into these lessons so we can progress too!

[@laurimoncur2628]

This was so inspiring for me. Yet, I have so many questions. Among other historical facts, it’s been shocking for me to learn about Joseph’s many other wives and left me not knowing how to feel about so many things I was taught growing up. They don’t make sense. I would so much appreciate help in gaining greater understanding.

[@RitaandKenSpencer]

Next year (2025) we will be studying Church History and the Doctrine and Covenants. That should at least provide resources.

[@bonnienandino6942]

I learned things i hadn't known! Excellent....thank you.

[@dinocollins720]

Thank you Sister Lynne Hilton Wilson as always!!!

[@janetrobinson2699]

YAY!!!!!!!! I’m so excited for this!!!!!

[@fredheimuli5913]

Great, detailed information. Thank you

[@drmichaelshea]

Thanks to both of you. Wonderful missionaries.

[@AgnesCongdon-xk8hr]

Thank you for the lovely video 📹 🖥 📱.

[@dorothypitts4768]

I have been waiting for this! ♥️

[@patengland3534]

She adds color to his commentary. I know in my home my husband only gives the basic facts and I get to add the context.❤

[@dashman5576]

Me cuesta entender aún con subtítulos, pero es fascinante, inspirador. Gracias hna hilton wilson y hno welch.

[@Kathysfootprints]

Great info!!! Thanks 🙏

[@jeff3olsen]

So excited! 🎉

[@galorath4]

Jack & Lynne: what an incredible combination If you want to know ever more about how the Book of Mormon is translated, ancient record Lynne and Jack wil fill your mind and our heart.

[@lblb1548]

Thank you for mentioning the book, "Opening The Heavens". I just bought it and I'm impressed with its contents and all the work done. I'm already enthralled reading it.

[@Timmyjg2004]

Thank you ❤🎉😊

[@maridegener927]

Love it!

[@thomasjensen5927]

Three 3 Big Thumbs up!! Thank you.

[@scotthyde1697]

What is the source for all of the Mary Whitmore information? This is new information to me.

[@QuinnCloudz]

How is the Entire Title Page being possibly misinterpreted these days… good things to ponder… Thank you!

[@lindalindaj1683]

Thank you. This is a great presentation! I have always enjoyed your videos but Brother Welch and your visuals adds more. Is he going to be joining you each week?

[@dowwilson8813]

yes. we (lynne responding) will be doing it all year! some great stuff coming!

[@daviddrysdale8882]

Emma has been called the witness that didn't witness! She went with Joseph in the wagon to retrieve the plates!

[@cozygooding6244]

How did you find out that Joseph had to bring the right person to find the plates?

[@dianahill4250]

You are so knowledgeable, and I love your enthusiasm sharing with us,, but Lynne, please stop interrupting and talking over your your guest.

[@donnahopkins4016]

Please please let your guest speak.

[@m.harris2429]

Thank you so much for your comment! I totally agree!

[@RitaandKenSpencer]

I think the situation has improved greatly as the series progressed.

[@RyanMercer]

☺

[@JamesLucas-z1o]

Where can I find more information about the 1830 lawsuit Brother Welch discusses?

[@randychristensen6503]

I thought the 116 pages were translated first, which is the known or thought of as the Book of Lehi. So, would that have happened before Mosiah?

[@JeannieWelch-wi7zs]

Yes, Joseph translates 1 and 2 Nephi AFTER he has translated Ether and Moroni.

[@randychristensen6503]

@JeannieWelch-wi7zs Seems that other things produced by Scripture Central doesn't indicate that. I will keep digging.

[@kuyalems]

Is this the new set up?

[@RitaandKenSpencer]

It is! 🎉📣🤗

[@CarolMichaelis-m4t]

Wonderful information but I wish only one person speaks at a time.

[@dowwilson8813]

Hah! we'll figure it out. We'll do better! There's just so many exciting things to talk about...

[@kaparowitz7393]

The Book of Mormon is itself another witness or testament of Jesus Christ along with the Bible.

[@nanetteiglupas7838]

❤❤❤

[@elijahhodges4405]

I am not the Tishbite except in my email address to honor the prophet I am named after. But still, I am Elijah.

[@denisewillis2018]

Lynn, you are interrupting him. 😏

[@philcampbell7401]

Thank you for the presentation. Many great things. (But please cancel the music.)

[@georgiamartinez4589]

😇🙏

[@ensignj3242]

I do not believe The Book of Mormon because of “evidence”. I believe it because of the power of the Holy Ghost which assurance is irrefutable.

[@mikewood3557]

Very true. But the Lord has also provided evidences that support the reality of the book. I so very much admire the early saints who withstood the persecution and violence based on their spiritual testimony, as you say, with none of the scholarly support that we have today. I love the evidences but not because they teach me that it is true, but more in the vein of “See, I told you so”. Perhaps more importantly, the evidences can bolster the faith of those who believe but still are weak or uncertain. With time, the sure and certain conviction and conversion can come.

[@dowwilson8813]

lynne here: you're of course absolutely right. the only real testimony comes from the spirit and the process outlined in Moroni. It is wonderful that God has given us such a gift as the Book of Mormon. There's nothing like it. It will bear up in matters of spirit, heart and mind! The ultimate evidence!

[@Freedom0rBust]

Joseph never said he used a hat, that’s all debunked

[@patriciafinn5717]

I think you are ignoring s lot of historical facts here..he sat at home for years telling stories about these people before he translated the book according to his mother..isnt that interesting ??

[@marlinclemmonz2649]

PS: There is no such language as "reformed Egyptian". It's all a big lie. I'm so sorry, but that is the truth. Because of this, Christopher Nemelka is trying his best to start his own version of the "Sealed Portion" because they are all great and talented works of fiction. A marvellous work and a wonder indeed! Writing scripture for itching ears '

[@kiapo6007]

Lynne was so disruptive with her interjections. Please just let John share and finish his thoughts. Her voice was distracting and alienating enough I wouldn't listen to an episode with her again.

[@JeannieWelch-wi7zs]

Please listen to a few more. It gets better.

[@jamesrichardson2077]

bible says plainly, do NOT add to or take away, one jot or title, how in Gods name are you going to berlieve a man looked in his hat and come up with allthis?,,i pray, that God, opens your eyes and throw this false phrophecy out, and cleave ONLY to gods word
