I am an investigator I already read this chapter in the book of mormon. I’m so grateful that I found this video. Watching all the way from the Philippines 🇵🇭.
That's wonderful, Rod! The videos were also published in Tagalog and Cebuano, in case that's helpful to you or your acquaintances in that wonderful part of the world! Enjoy! th-cam.com/channels/gPUPrkj9Dq8P0HTLsr_R5Q.html
Welcome brother!!!
Yes, here in the States! 🙏🏾🌹❤️🙂
Wait im in philippines🇵🇭?But im moving in china brother so have a good blessing
I am a member and have been among the six first to be baptize in Mauritius Island.Watching this video today is an answer to my prayer this morning as I asked for help and guidance to heavenly father concerning the launching of a Big professional project.This remind me how the Lord work so that all his children can receive his words and commandments.Thanks to Lehi for obeying and today we have the book of Mormon,another testament of Jesus Christ. May God bless us all
After President Benson warned the members of the church in 1986 that the condemnation given of the Lord in 1832 still rested on the church because they had taken lightly the Book of Mormon, I vowed to read it every day and now, 33 years later, I have kept that promise, only missing 61 days in that time. I love that book. I know it is the word of God and love reading it and bearing testimony of it. It's true!
33 years later and you still haven't figured out that the book is a work of fiction from the mind and imagination of Joseph Smith?
Mike Dennis, ad hominem attack. Poor argument based on logical fallacy.
ray salmon, Prove it. You have no ground to stand on.
@@raysalmon6566 For clarification, history apart from the Book of Mormon doesn't prove or disprove anything about the Book of Mormon. History is very, very useful but also a highly imperfect study. History is definitely not the foundation of our faith; our faith comes from God no matter how much history we know.
@@raysalmon6566 I love good questions, though I'd have to say that I don't find them uncomfortable. I've long been accustomed to the idea that there is much I don't know, and questions are opportunities to learn. It's also nice when we get answers, but anyone pursuing knowledge properly knows that many answers do not come right away. (PhD students slaving away over research--that may or may not come to anything--will attest to that, but I'm sure you understand that already.)
There is some history in the Book of Mormon, but we don't have much of any correlation between it and history that we have from other sources. That is not uncommon. Many people in the world know very little about history and many have very limited access to education, but all can communicate with God.
Heartburn is not what disciples of Christ seek; we look for confirmation from the Holy Ghost about the truth of scripture. We learn about the Holy Ghost in both the Bible and the Book of Mormon. I don't presume to demand answers from God, but I do know that He gives them in the way He knows is best. Latter-day saints greatly value education, but when we receive a witness from God, that is worth more than anything else. It is my great desire for you that you will seek and receive the same witness from God about the truth of the Book of Mormon that many of us have received.
I'm a new convert and this video helped me to compliment books of Mormon I'm reading
Adding my testimony of the truthfulness of the gospel, and am so grateful to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It's a privilege and a blessing. peg
As a fairly recent convert, these videos will be a great help in comprehending the stories of the Book of Mormon.
From thailand. ❤️❤️❤️
WELCOME TO THE CHURCH. I don't know if your audio systems are the same there as the ones here in America but there is a live dramatized version of The Book of Mormon on CD called "The Hallowed Journey" if you are interested.
welcome!
Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings are much more interesting and moral books.
As a member of the Church for over 45 years, these videos will be a great help in comprehending the stories of the Book of Mormon. Never stop learning. D&C 93:36

This is beautifully done. I have been a member of the church for 40 years and know the Book of Mormon is the word of God. It is a worthy companion to the Bible--both of which we study with a grateful heart. If you will learn and abode by it's teachings, it will bless your life continually. Please read it, ponder it, and ask God in prayer if it is true. I promise if you do these things, you will be glad you did.
As a fairly recent convert, these videos will be a great help in comprehending the stories of the Book of Mormon. I love how Lehi and Nephi turn to God for the answers to their very real questions.
Welcome!
As a convert too I have prayed a lot about the Book. Today my prayer was answered. Having my Book of Mormon now beside me I can read along with the videos. I am truly blessed!
I remember the first time I read the Book of Mormon clear through instead of the many times of reading parts of it, so much I did not understand, but I kept praying and reading, and a layer of truth was revealed at my infant spiritual state. Now many years and many times reading/studying/pondering this marvelous work and a wonder: by the power of the Holy Ghost, I learn another layer of truth each time.
@@janh1399 that's how it has been with me. I keep reading and praying.
I've been a member all my life and I feel the same way.
I am grateful for how relevant the Book of Mormon is to the times we are living in.
Yeah, who knew that Nephi and his siblings acted like teenagers now. Having crushes on girls, playing in Jerusalem, having chores. We have more similarities with them than we think
@@jmcglynn5273 You may have missed out on this, but over time we learn more about past times, and many things that were once considered anachronisms have proven to not be anachronistic at all.
@@jmcglynn5273 I don't think I've ever dreamed about Mormon, but I'll keep my faith in Jesus Christ alive. I found out that it's all truth! I definitely have found it interesting in the past that Freemasons use similar symbols, though I was not surprised given that symbols and ideas are often re-used elsewhere. I'm sure you're as smart as anyone else out there, and I really hope it doesn't bother you that others have considered the same things you have but have allowed for different conclusions. Meanwhile, I appreciate the wish of good luck, but believe me, I am incredibly blessed, and rather than coming from luck I can attest that the good things in my life come from following the Gospel of Christ.
Nate Page Amen. We used to have a seminary song in the early 70’s, called “Like Unto Us”. Maybe it is still on TH-cam.
@@valerier3673
I had those very Nephi-like experiences....except for beheading someone (Laban) while he lay, dead drunk on the road, because God thought it a good policy to murder anyone who MIGHT "lead a nation to unbelief"...
You can see the relief in Lehi’s face when he realizes Nephi gained his own witness of the truth. You can better imagine the “anxiety of his soul” for his children. Very well done.
Our most gracious heavenly father thank you for this wonderful family
And a wonderful friendship with a wonderful family of me in thy beautiful world amen. 🙏😇
If you like the video, make sure and read the book.
Thats a nice catch in your photo. Bass?
I am reading it already
Reading the Book of Mormon was the single most impactful event in my life Rodney 💯
I am and I am amazed that the reading and watching 😊😁 is what made it more understanding of what we(I) need to do for me myself and I.
Personally I hate reading, so this will help my testimony alot.
This is the beginning of something great. One day I’ll be watching this with my children
I am in my glory. I've struggled over the last 30 years to be able to have more understanding of the book of Mormon. I'm very great full for this. Can you say BLESSINGS!!! Thank you father!
The Book of Mormon is an inspired work of God. As we prayerfully read and ponder its inspired messages, it brings us closer to Him and blesses us with the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ! 🙏
I am grateful to see visually the stories I am coming to love in the Book of Mormon. I cant wait to see more!
That's awesome Kelli!
I can't wait to see more too! I'd like to see the wonderful works of God regarding 2 Nephi 5:21-22 as God gives them a skin of blackness for their iniquities so that they will be loathsome (hatred, disgusting, repulsive) and not enticing to the lighter skinned Nephites! God is good!
@@thewywy you misinterpreted the scripture but you know this and you know exactly what you are doing. Wolf in sheep's clothing, mocking, Poisoning the well, this is not the Savior's way at all. You are an agent of Satan and you do the Devils will. If you truly love Christ then you should study his path a little closer, even if you don't believe in the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints, you must see how un Christian you are behaving.
I can't wait it to see more!
I agree, Kelli! It ended and I wanted to keep watching! Can't wait for the next one.
I love that Laman is being made to be sympathetic in this series instead of the cultural perception of him being just a jerk. He wasn’t instantly willing to kill his own family, he fell from grace overtime.
Brigham Bentley the cultural perception? Laman and Lemuel were obviously in high standings with Lehi, they fell. Not much else was written though. How else should their fall be perceived? I loved the first video, my testimony about the veracity of the Book of Mormon has only been solidified in seeing visually what I've read over the last 34+ years. 🙂
Well, the only record we have of them is made from Nephi's point of view, so we can't compare it to what point of view they had. Every character has a story, we must admit that there is a bias here and give room to accept other representations.
It's Nephi's point of view recorded many years after the fact, after Lehi had died and the two groups had seperated. In hindsight, Nephi was able to see exactly where his brother's attitudes had led them. But he also remembers and records those times that they repented and when they were obedient. Nephi records several passages indicating how much it grieves him that his older brothers never assumed the proper role of righteous leadership that his culture had led him to expect. I think the movie does a good job of showing his sadness as well as his faith.
In 1 Nephi 3, he was hitting Nephi and Sam with a stick...an angel had to intervene.....that's not cultural perception. He was seriously troubled before they even left Jerusalem.
J McGlynn Religion doesn’t make one stupid. There are plenty of highly intelligent people in the world who are Latter-day Saints. I’m no scholar but I do have a good understanding of storytelling and character arcs.
I’m saddened that people such as yourselves prefer to insult and belittle.
Why can’t we have a normal conversation?
I must say, thank you for making this Book of Mormon series. So many people don't read the book to know about it, so having a movie series is pretty cool. Well done!
Thank you for tuning in, glad you like it!
Hey book of mormon vids so i will always watch u beacause im moving in china and i've neverd go to my original curch so thank you❤god'bless🙏🙏
I am so grateful for this series! The scriptures truly are a testament that Jesus is the Savior.
Jesus Christ here, your Savior.
The video of the Angel's visit, on My TH-cam channel, is better than this fiction you call "the book of mormon".
Thank you for your words, Lacey!
Hold firm to the Iron Rod. And pray to GOD, that our hearts will not fail us.
I am Blessed to be a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
What a wonderful time is it to see The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints bring this wonderful spiritual content to life with a new refresh execution.
Reading this comment. I felt the spirit strongly. Thankyou 😊😌
I felt a strong GAG reflex!
@@daveyjones9930 I notice that you demonstrate an unusual desire to comment negatively while others are celebrating their faith. Jusy FYI, you could spend your time doing something productive or helpful for someone.
What a wonderful thing it is to be a member of this great organization, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I'm so thankful that I am.
@@paulawhite9922
I'm sorry to see that you need a corporate church to tell you what to do, when to do it and how to live YOUR LIFE.
If you followed them and it turns out they got it wrong, at Judgement time.... *YOU* are the one that get's spanked, not them!! They'll deny they ever knew you...
Lehi's family went through so much. I appreciated how this video captured the emotions of their story. I'm so excited for the visual representation of this wonderful book.
J McGlynn, the Bible says, " ye shall know them by their fruits." Judge in which ever way you see fit. As for me, I do appreciate there videos and have also read the Book of Mormon. The impact it has had on my life has been no thing but positive and I feel spiritually fufilled.
ray salmon, what if their was? Why don't you make that judgement call on your own. If you believe in God, I suggest asking him with faith.
@Cesar Gomez Lol...yes, Satan is focusing on destroying the American church from within America. And a testimony is most important? Well, there are lots of people who have testimonies and spiritual witnesses of their respective religions and faith's. You're experience is not unique, and it in no way proves anything about the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. There is no archaeological evidence or historical evidence of the Book of Mormon. If there had been such a large and diverse civilization, with battles the size and scale of what is mentioned in the BoM, then there would be evidence of such. Why are we able to find evidence of Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Mayan, and Aztec civilizations with ease, and yet we have ZERO evidence of an entire civilization of people living in the Americas and worshiping a white, bearded, Jewish man? Where are the intricate carvings of the battles? The pictograph of the horses? The steel swords? The written records of the people? If the record that was written on the plates was sooo sacred and vital, surely there would have been more copies made. Why did God take the gold plates back, when they would have been literally the GREATEST archaeological find of the century? He allowed the dead sea scrolls to be found and kept?
Anyways...the BoM is only true bc deep in your heart you WANT it to be true. The reality is that its a work of early 19th century fiction by a frontier con-man who also exhibited the same behaviors we see in modern cult leaders and sexual predators. I have a testimony that the book is false, and is a work of fiction, and that the events described in the Book of Mormon never occurred.
@@raysalmon6566 Just be careful-- people who are non-believers read the Bible with equal attempts at notating every red flag to prove they don't have to believe in Jesus Christ, or even God. It's okay to be aware of fallible humans making mistakes, but do not base your beliefs off the errors. Ultimately, truth is truth, and only God can reveal that to you if you have a heart open to hearing His answers. I wish you all the best in your spiritual journey-- we are all walking this life together.
@@raysalmon6566 True. There is also archeological evidence in support that Christ did visit the American continent as well. But with all things that require faith, evidence can be found where one wants to find it. Ultimately, the onus lies on us individually to seek out and confirm our beliefs personally, and to keep a testimony alive and healthy within. I think of the example of Mary being told she would be the mother to the Christ child. The scriptures say after Christ was born and many were sent by angels to bear witness of the event, that "... Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart." (Luke 2:19, KJV). So, too, we as individuals have the responsibility to notice the miracles in our lives, and to ponder them in our hearts. In this way, our faith and testimony in the Savior Jesus Christ and His Divine mission and teachings can become personal to us, regardless of what proof or evidence may be discovered by scholars and scientists. 🤟
Ilove Book of Mormon 💙⚪
I will add my testimony to the truthfulness of the book of Mormon. It is true and Jesus Christ is our savior.
I'll add mine, too.
The Book of Mormon was Joseph Smith's version of "Lord of the Rings"!
Thanks for your testimony, Barretts.
@@raysalmon6566 There are definitely regions where they would have traveled that have trees. Sure, there's a lot of desert around also, but the entire peninsula is not completely barren. As to how they built it, we don't have specific details, but Nephi had inspiration from God and I think they took several years.
@@raysalmon6566 I've seen people chart paths on known geography that correspond extremely well with all descriptions given about Lehi's family's journey. I'm not the expert myself, but other people have laid it out pretty clearly, as I remember. I imagine that it is relatively easy to find online.
@@raysalmon6566 I should add that 2600 years have passed since Lehi's family went through the area. We'd be pretty naive to assume that everything was the same as it used to be. Plant life can change easily in much shorter amounts of time, and even geography can significantly change. If you read an account from 1000 years ago about a land bridge connecting what we now know as Washington and Oregon, you'd probably be inclined to think that it was an impossibility given that there is a river there flowing out to the ocean. We can easily drive the length of the river and clearly see no land bridge, and it wouldn't even make sense to us. And yet there was formerly a land bridge, right by where the Bonneville Dam is now. The original Bridge of the Gods collapsed centuries ago, though a modern structure is named after it. It's been a long, long time since it has been around, but if a person had written an account that included the original land bridge we'd have no reason based on that element alone to doubt their story.
As far as naming rivers is concerned, everyone who used the name "Laman" for a river in the region moved on, so no one else in the area would know about that and we should have no particular expectation of seeing an existing terrain feature with that name.
Where questions are concerned, what I can say is that questions have answers even if we don't know them right away. It would be easy for someone to doubt the account of the Book of Mormon based on the concerns you raised, though you can see that with some additional thought there's no need for concern. Eventually, a hundred questions will be answered one by one until they've dwindled down to nothing; having the questions is fine as long as they don't bog us down spiritually. For members of the Church, receiving a witness about the truth of the Book of Mormon from God makes it easy to set aside unanswered questions and accept that we just won't know certain things for a while (even though other people might know them already). It's not so different from people following the scientific method and realizing that some answers to our best questions remain to be answered and might not be for a long time. So questions are great and help us learn, but we shouldn't let them be an impediment.
I hope that you find those thoughts insightful and helpful.
Absolutely incredible. What a blessing to see these men and women come to life, and to deepen our understandings of such a difficult and important journey. I love the Book of Mormon and the Savior Jesus Christ of whom it testifies.
What an amazing depiction of such sacred and miraculous events. We've been so excited for these videos to bring the Book of Mormon to life and have not been disappointed! Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this work, past and present.
I've been reading and studying this book since I was a child. Now, It has its own video! I am so thrilled!. Every lines that I've come to know by heart. I will really watch each episode.
So grateful for everyone who contributed to this amazing effort!
Anti-Nephi ex-High-Priest to let other people understand what the book of mormon means
Anti-Nephi ex-High-Priest i cant tell you everything about it but if you try to study and seek its meaning with the bible and the book itself, then you will find what it means
@@tjbutler6121 If, indeed, you were a member of the Church for many years, you should have observed this, but the apostles have all served untold hours of unpaid service for many years while working full-time at their careers and raising families. When they became apostles, they had to give up their lucrative careers in order to serve full-time. They get a stipend now instead, but remember that they were all very financially successful and well-paid before. If their objective was financial gain, they wouldn't have given thousands of hours of unpaid service, and they wouldn't have given up their careers.
Also, the Church goes to extensive efforts to help people achieve self-reliance, again through the service of unpaid volunteers. For myself, my family ate free food from the Church for many years when I was young. Church programs have blessed the lives of so many people.
I'm sorry you have taken such a negative view of such a wonderful church.
@@tjbutler6121 My family wasn't required to do anything. We got free food. These days I'm glad to take my kids to help me clean a church building from time to time; on one hand, they learn selfless service, and on the other, we have a clean building to use for worship.
Welfare is unlimited. Bishops don't have a limit to the checks they write to help people near them. The Church additionally devotes a lot of money to other causes such as humanitarian aid and disaster relief.
Again, if the apostles had been focused on earning money, they wouldn't have dedicates thousands of hours of unpaid service and wouldn't have given up their lucrative careers.
I don't argue that there are men in the Church who have committed great sins, such as adultery. Those sins, are, of course, in direct contradiction to what is taught in the Church.
Bishops have to make hard decisions about how much to support people, so as to attend to their needs while not encouraging an improper dependence that would work against the goal of self-reliance. I'm sure that sometimes they get that balance wrong, and sometimes they get it right but it might seem wrong to an outside observer. That being said, there are endless examples of people receiving extensive financial assistance (on top of of physical labor, counseling, and many more services) through the Church. I could direct you to many, many people who have benefited from all of this, but I'm sure you could come up with many examples yourself. The good done by and through the Church is undeniable and enormous.
When you use a purely pejorative term like "cult", though, it gives an indication of improper and severe bias against the Church. My challenge to you is to simply be honest about the good that the Church does.
@@tjbutler6121 There are numerous locations that could plausibly be matched to areas described in the Book of Mormon. No one in our day knows exactly where it happened, and we don't need to know exactly where. "Jersualem" in that context refers to the area surrounding the city, much as can be said of other cities. That happens all the time. I don't consider the "RLDS" a reliable source of knowledge.
I don't base my faith on a lie. I base my faith in God and my experience with Him. You're deliberately ignoring anything good about the Church and only looking for ways to attack it. Nothing good comes from what you are doing here.
Wow this brings a whole new look into this story. Lehi was so strong when he stood in Jerusalem. That takes courage and so much straight.
Yeah and also that Laman and Lemuel were obedient to their father at the beggining
Thank you for making his video, it i a blessing, makes so much easier to remember. God is good
I just shared this with my family and friends. I am so blessed to have the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life.
AMAZING!! I love the Book of Mormon and how much it reveals about the Atonement of Jesus Christ!
@@raysalmon6566 ; Yeah, don't you wish all Churches did? Can you imagine what the world would be like with everyone trying to do something good with their lives?
@@raysalmon6566 From your comments, it sounds like you don't really know the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. If you want, we could tell you more about what the Church really teaches and does.
@@raysalmon6566 So, that's fine. I know plenty of people around that age that do go to church, but what I'm suggesting is that you're commenting about my faith without really understanding it. It is, of course, wiser to ask people about their beliefs if you want to engage in discussion about those beliefs.
@@raysalmon6566 Yes. I can speak to many experiences I've had and to a number of doctrinal topics. My own knowledge is limited, like everyone else's, but when I hit the edges of what I actually know I don't hesitate to say so. I'd be happy to respond to any questions you have, to the best of my ability, which might be pretty good.
@@raysalmon6566 We all have experiences in life. I can explain my own. What would be presumptuous would be to act as if I could explain everyone else's experiences, or assume that everyone wanted to hear all of mine. Instead, I'm merely offering to answer any questions you may have to the best of my ability, based on what I've seen and learned in my own life. That's all. Whether or not you're interested is up to you, though again, I would recommend seeking to understand others' beliefs before commenting on them.
Thank you my Heavenly father
Great work to the crew love you all.

Man, the casting is great! They really did a great job of portraying the characters! Can’t wait to see more!!!
I am so excited for more of these!!! Family Home Evening... is going to rock!
Just watched it with my kids. I've already been moved to tears. That must've been SO hard for every member of the family.
Sarah, think of the trust that they all had to put in Lehi's righteousness. What a great example of a priesthood holder. Think of the trust Sariah put in him! There had to be a history of that type of righteousness for Sariah to put that level of trust in his dreams and words. She had to get her own revelation or she would have been as angsty as Laman and Lemuel I suppose.
Having been to Jerusalem, I really like this video.
I wish I had a family to watch this with, or take care of or love. guess hf thinks Im worse than a murderer and dont deserve any of that, o well haha
Anomalouzs, it’s okay. I have an entire “religious” family, yet only I am the one watching it. It’s almost sad, but I’m use to it.
Yeah, really hard for the whole family, to leave everything in Jerusalem, but they did it, they obbeyed, that's good.
To add the visual element to the scriptures is much appreciated. I really enjoyed watching how the characters and their behaviors helped me reflect on relationships in my family and towards God. I look forward to watching all of the videos as they come out! Thank you to all involved in creating them!
I love the Book of Mormon. I have a grown daughter who can not read. She loves these videos and they are helping her learn some of the many ways the Lord can help us in difficult situations. These make for great Sunday entertainment for her.
I love the audio summary of each video and especially the "based on actual events as recorded in the Book of Mormon". So many times the spiritual historical events of the Bible and Book of Mormon are depicted as "stories" and not "actual events" that occurred in history. This is what makes them so important to us. The scriptural events handed down to us and not watered down in translations over time. One translation, one documented record of theses events, depictions and references. This makes it easier to go from video to actual reading of the Book of Mormon for anyone.
May God bless you all, i'm speechless what a blessing now the words will reach more hearts in the world, THE BOOK OF MORMON another TESTAMENT OF JESUS CHRIST🙏🙏🙏😍
Soooo grateful for this wonderful project to help us visualize the events in the Book of Mormon, which I love.
Mike.
I'm so grateful that someone made a movie of Snow White so I could visualize the events and adventures of S.W. and the Good Ship Lollipop!
ALL fairy-tales are more easily acceptable when there is a movie made of them....and they magically come to life!
I think it's cool, too, Mike. Having a visual reference can be helpful, and film depictions of scripture can lend other insight as well, such as the emotional impact of events on people involved, and the way that influenced their decisions.
I am a very visual learner. The provision of these videos is a beautiful and much appreciated blessing.
Oh what a blessing to have. It’ll really help us next year in Sunday School. THANKS for this special gift.
This is absolutely amazing! The church is true!!

Thank God for these videos! I'm new to the Book of Mormon and am being baptized very soon; so seeing these events visually after reading them makes it so much more easier for me to understand. Can't wait for the next video!
I have been waiting a long time for these! I am so glad that they are here!

Amazing first episode! Such a great job! I can't wait for the next one. :)
Really amazing ... Praise the lord... I am from India
how can we know whether v r being fooled
or guided towards the lord?
And you can know the truth of all things by the power of the Holy Spirit. There is a promise at the end of the Book of Mormon, that if you pray read the Book of Mormon and then pray with faith in Jesus Christ, sincerely, and with real intent to know whether or not the Book of Mormon is true, the Lord will answer you. He has answered me, and I know that the Book of Mormon is true.
The Book of Mormon is true. Read and Pray to know the truth! I have!
@@srinup8988Ask God with a sincere and humble heart if what you have read or have been told is true. I promise you will receive an answer. It may be a calm feeling that comes soon after your prayer or a while later. It may be a voice inside you that is firm, assuring you if what you ask to know is right. God bless you in your search for truth, SRINI. I know the Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ, is a true record from Ancient American peoples. It has blessed my life and helps me want to be a better person--a follower of Jesus Christ.
@@jmcglynn5273 I think what we're interested in is knowing how you think the holy spirit works or communicates if it's different from what a Latter-Day Saint would say about the holy spirit. What is your theory on how ancient americans would have had or will later have an opportunity to know about Jesus Christ? I'm referring to the Hopewell sphere culture who didn't have the New Testament, but they did have the Old Testament. God has labeled you as a murmurer in The Book of Mormon because you have to receive more of his word than just the New Testament. Maybe one of the later episodes will cover that.
It was ug 1969 & I was called to repentance by the Holy Ghost. :) I have been very thankful to Heavenly Father since that day.
Glad to hear it, William.

"Laman, that you may be like this river continually running into the fountain of righteousness, and Lemuel that you may be like this valley, firm and steadfast and immovable in keeping the commandments of the lord". Even when the spoke against their father, he still had the best wishes for them. Charity exemplified
Saw how Sariah went to go talk to Lehi afterwards. It was a rebuke, and they were good parents to what can be said to be called good sons. The tests of their faith had to test their personal testimonies now.
I love that we now have Book of Mormon Videos! I loved the Bible Videos and am excited to see the results of this project!
I love and believe in lord that he is the only holy god on this earth
Have you seen the bible project? That's pretty good too.
@@rohitchand3022
And how were you raised...?
I love stories that take me back in time
Wow, I'm breathless! Couldn't ignore how greatly I felt the Spirit seeing this AMAZING production! This is the only book which contains the fullness of the truths we find in the Gospel of Jesus Christ! He lives and leads this Church.
The spirit was strong while watching this with my kids. We are so excited for the next episode!
To the creators, actors, directors and funders of this movie series, I commend you all for your efforts.
Heartfelt thanks and may God bless you for your love of the Book of Mormon and bringing it's FACTS to life!
More power to you and may you all come closer to God as you promote this. Great job.
I am soooooooo excited for this series!
Love your videos!
Lifey me tooo!
So many principles about how we should deal with all that is going on around us and inside our own families as well! Truly, the Book of Mormon is the book of books.
Really amazing and I thank the Lord for visually feel the BOM.
What a blessing! I am grateful for this effort and all the people making this!
Am so bless to know all of this .
The Bible videos are superb and wondered how the Book of Mormon videos would fair. The same (Superb) I would say with a more difficult storyline (So many different settings) to put together. Well done for all those who were involved in this production. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Rock that is filling the WHOLE WORLD. I STAND IN AWE
I read my book of mormon every day and night
Those who sincerely pray to God and ask if this book is true will know by the power of His Holy Spirit.
Love this and I know the Church is true. I am sharing this with my family who are not members all over the world. Thank you.
Welcome to the church from whatever the time it was you started coming. As for your family. I hope their hearts will soften beyond the point to where they can see the truthfulness of this book and the gospel of Jesus Christ.

@@princesskristayork8869 Oh. I didn't know you have been a member that long. At first I thought it was not too long ago but I guess I misunderstood what you wrote. 🙂
It is nice to have a visual on a story about this wealthy family who had everything, and the one son who had no choice but to keep them all together. 😃
@@TheSuicidalRectums no worries brother no worries
We are so blessed, to have not only these videos 👍
But especially all the holy scriptures ❤️🙏
Thank you for sharing.

I'm much glad we have this now, and try hard to read the book of mormon.
When you feel the spirit you know this was done with inspiration from the lord.
It’s finally here!!! Thank you!
Beautiful! Everything my mind has long imagined as I’ve read this inspired book. I particularly loved the use of light in this episode.
Yes it is beautiful to have visual on a sweet story about
a wealthy family who lost everything, and the one son
who had no choice but to keep them all together. 😃
@@TheSuicidalRectums Haha nice
Looking forward to the rest of this series. Thank you to all of you who contributed your talents to this chronical. May the Lord bless you in your future endeavors.
I can't stop crying. God is good. So is Jesus. And Lehi and Nephi.
I have had the realization that we are no different than Lehi's family. God is just as mindful of each one of us. We can receive answers to our life questions but we must be willing to seek the answers and seek the Lord's help and realize we will receive our individual answers in a way that is specific to us individually. Ask sincerely and then keep your eyes and ears open. He will answer but he asks us to be humble and above all patient. We can't "demand" answers.
Love the Book of Mormon! Gonna read the book of Ether after this.
The Book of Mormon is a great book. Besides being another testament of Jesus Christ it tells us so much about how we should live our lives and so much about our days.
I am even more excited to serve as a fulltime missionary of the church now that we have these Book of Mormon videos! Thank for this blessing!! ❤😭
Awesome video. I loved how Nephi was portrayed as a young boy, the youngest of the family, just wanting to do the right thing -- sort of like a proto-Joseph Smith. We've all seen Nephi portrayed as the hero and paragon, but I connect to this portrayal much more.
FHE Dad, I envision him as a young man, like a teen, and this video made me feel like it was close if not point on!
Remember Nephi describes himself as being large in stature, large enough to portray even the wicked Laban and to, by himself, apprehend Laban’s servant Zoram when he tried to escape. Nephi was large and powerful, and yes, was the youngest of his brothers. Having said that I also liked the way they portrayed him in the video. I cannot wait to see more from my favorite book
I totally agree with your comment! I connect to this portrayal more than the others I've seen. Nephi is the hero, but the hero isn't necessarily always the loudest or strongest or most confident person. Nephi was just trying to do right by God, whatever that may be, and that can be a difficult path to follow.
It's funny you say this, because to those who believe the Church isn't true, it is apparent that Joseph wrote Nephi as a little self-righteous caricature of himself.
I once read that the Nephi of Nephi 2 was deeply different from the Nephi of Nephi 1. He matured so much.
YES!!! Man being a visual learner, this really helped me understand a couple things I didn't quite understand the times I've read this awesome history book!
It is far beyond a history book. Read on.
@@stewartritchey7602 oh, I know.. 😏
Bushcraft.
"History book"??
If it really was a history book, BYU History Department would list the Book of Mormon as part of it History curriculum!
I've been out of touch for a couple of decades, with LDS/BYU news flashes...meaning, I could have missed the news that BYU DOES NOW list the Book of Mormon as one of it's HISTORY offerings?? Please let me know...
@@daveyjones9930 don't overthink it. I was simply stating that it's my favorite book about the history of America.
@@daveyjones9930 oh ok
I also read The Book Of Mormon📖 and I am watching it now.

Members of the Church study the new testament if you listened when you were a member, you would know that.
(Faithful member of 52 years)
@@jmcglynn5273
All easily explained.
Ask yourself, are we all brothers and sisters? Does that mean Adolf Hitler or Charles Manson is your brother?
And what kind of God creates earth's and keeps that knowledge under wraps for his faithful children?
Did Christ not ask us to be perfect?
Is any state better than perfection?
The Masons stole the Temple ordainance from Solomons temple, JS. Perfected it for us, today.
One being false and the other being authorized.
J Mc Anti, someone must have kicked you around some. But you don't have to live like a refugee.
Lastly,
I agree, we do need to beware of you!
@@jmcglynn5273 You may have missed it when you attended Church meetings before, but what occurs at Church meetings is teaching, not "brainwashing". I would love to understand your point of view, though. Let me ask you this: What is the foundation of your faith? Latter-day Saints also read the Bible, but why do you believe that the Bible is the word of God?
@@jmcglynn5273 "Apostates will leave us but they will not leave us alone."
Excuse me, but if your Faith or religion is so great, if it gives you such great joy or bears such wonderful fruits -- then why don't you spend your time preaching and telling other people about your good news, instead of going to tear down someone else's faith, their joy?
And I AM reading The New Testament, thank-you. I have my own faults, but I rely on God's righteousness, not my own.
@@jmcglynn5273
We are all spirit children of Heavenly Father. Satan is your brother just as much as Christ.
The lord did create the earth, Michael under his direction.
The Lord requires us to keep all covenants to enter into eternal life. For God will not be mocked.
You do need to keep all of God's commandments lol...
These verses even talk about the plan of redemption and the Holy Spirit of promise who seals us up unto eternal life. The same teachings expounded upon in the temple which you took upon yourself.
THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE
TO THE
EPHESIANS
CHAPTER 1
11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
These videos are helping me understand the book much better. I only recently accepted religion into my life and tried to jump right in to reading the book, so this is all very new and can feel quite overwhelming. I see these videos as the perfect introduction
Production quality has gone way up since those old clips. It's really nice to have this.
Yaaaay!! Have already broadcast these on FB to ALL of my sweet friends! So greatful for those who step out of their comfort to impart obedience to Heavenly Father and Love, one to another!!! Thank you🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love the book of mormon it has helped me a lot in my life! I have read many times and now I can watch it is a blessing!! As a descendant of indiginous people of peru "incas" I have heard from my own ancestors stories about the visit of Chirst to America and that amazed me and I knew it was totally true, and I have felt the voices from the dust that this book is true and I have seen the fullfiling of his promises and was writen for us his children thank you
Cool!!! ...it's intriguing to hear of the stories handed down by the descendants of the Book of Mormon peoples. I'm fascinated by those legends and by the ruins. Yo servi una mision en Bolivia, Peru, y Chile (estuve asignado en Arequipa y en el Cuzco en el Peru). Pero eso fue hace como unos mil años, en el comienzo de los tiempos!!! jaja!!!
@@wa1den yes! There is too many evidences of that! There is a legend that there was the God it was white and with a beard he promised to return to his people that is why when Spaniards came and because they were in political crisis and suffering aflictions people though they were the God the Same Inca in person went to look at it to have the honor but then they realized about the true.
When Spaniards came to Cuzco in Peru they found a statue with a long robe in their words they thought it was an apostle of Jesus, but people of the town explained that it was an statue that the inca comanded to build of Wiracocha. The Incas also believe an many gods but in their words they believed in a superior God who created the heavens and the earth, the stars, and all wich is on the universe he was Kontiki wiracocha and there many more that now we believe and amazed ud and strenght our faith even though we have received the testimony of the Spirit
@@rosariobejarramirez You should consider gathering some of those stories from your people, and documentation of these things, and publishing them in a book for us to read. That would be very fascinating! Sister, what part of Peru are you in? Por mi parte, estoy actualmente en Utah, aunque soy originalmente del estado de California (del norte del estado). Someday I hope to return to the places where I served as a misionary. It would be very interesting to see all the changes and how the church has grown.
@@wa1den in Lima but my father os from Puno and Cuzco we have now i Peru more than 100 stakes and we gonna have 4 temples! Even when the gospel has been preach in the 50's for the first time the church is young here, only in Lima there are 5 missions. You are right! I will do it I have to research more about coincidences of the incas culture and the gospel
@@rosariobejarramirez How is it that you learned english? Did you just study it in school, or have you spent some time in the E.E. U.U.?
I love how at 6:20 Lehi stands there for a moment and looks over the crowd. He didn’t have to, that was his last chance. But he did as the Lord told him to do anyway. Loved this video ❤️
How many of us are going through our own journey through the wilderness at this moment?
TheJFerg24 so true. We all are. It is a symbol for life and how we deal will challenges and how important at it is to follow the prophet and keep the commandments.
Just beautiful, thanks so much for such a great work, it will help us to understand the lord's will.
Excellent...! Fully excited to watch the upcoming videos & it makes me to understand & remember Book of Mormon stories very easily.Great work ever!Greatful to God for giving this restored gospel in our lifes ❤
This gave me chills. This was so beautifully made and I am so excited to see the rest of the book played out!
That was absolutely amazing 😭😭!!! I can't wait to see more, I'vee been hoping for these videos and waiting for years that episode was perfect guys, I can't wait to see more!!!!! Weeks are go get longer now, haha!!
Can't wait to watch the next episode truly inspiring
All The LDS Video's place a spirit of calmness and peace in my presence when I watch them everytime.
It is awesome to watch this video and I’m proud to be a member of the church.
Most excellent video! It's good to see the Book of Mormon brought to life! It lifts my spirit!
I hope this is complete.I really love the story ...🙏 I don't have enough time to read the entire book of Mormon again .But w/this videos it reminds me of the book i have completely read once.Thank you so much for crearing this videos.
I’m so excited, I’ve been looking forward to these videos for a long time.
What really stood out in this video to me was how easy it is to empathize with Laman.
GO PAYNE GO I thought the same thing! It must have been incredibly hard to leave. Laman’s struggle is real. Makes everything so relatable.
Oh man! I can't wait another week for the next part!! So well done!! ❤

That's called "DESPERATION!!" lol!

The church is true, SPREAD THE WORD
Yes, and our prophets never lie...
except maybe...
So was it truth when Brigham Young taught the Adam-God theory? (Deseret News, June 18, 1873) Or was it truth when Spencer W. Kimball denounced it? (October 1976 General Conference)
Was it truth when Joseph Smith claimed he didn’t practice polygamy? (History of the Church, Vol. 6, Chap. 19 p. 411) Or was it truth when the church now acknowledges that Joseph had at least 34 wives-several of whom were underage or were married to other men? (Plural Marriage in Kirtland and Nauvoo, 2014)
Was it truth when Brigham Young taught the doctrine of blood atonement? (Journal of Discourses 4:53-54) Or was it truth when it was denounced by the leaders of the church? (Deseret News, June 18, 2010)
Was it truth when Joseph Smith said the Book of Abraham was translated from scrolls that were written by Abraham himself? (Book of Abraham, introduction) Or is truth when the leaders of the church today admit that the scrolls Joseph had do not match the translation from the Book of Abraham, and weren’t even from Abraham’s time? (Translation and Historicity of the Book of Abraham, 2014)
Was it truth when Brigham Young taught that polygamy was essential to obtaining exaltation? (Journal of Discourses 11:269) Or was it truth when Gordon B. Hinckley said that polygamy was not doctrinal? (Larry King Live, September 1998)
Was it truth when Brigham Young banned black people from receiving the priesthood (and more importantly from entering the temple), and when he and other leaders taught that black people would only enter the celestial kingdom as servants (Mark E. Peterson August 27, 1954) taught that a white person who married a black person would be killed on the spot (Journal of Discourses 7:290-291; 10:110), taught that black people would be the last of God’s children to receive the priesthood (Journal of Discourses, 7:290), and taught that black people were less valiant in the preexistence? (Statement by the First Presidency, August 17, 1949) Was it truth when for over 100 years every prophet from Brigham Young to Harold B. Lee upheld these racist teachings and policies? Or was it truth when the ban was lifted? Is it truth when today’s leaders “disavow these theories?” (Race and the Priesthood, 2013)
Was it truth when Harold B. Lee taught that people with disabilities were less valiant in the preexistence? (Decisions for Successful Living, p. 165) Or is the truth that we are much more than our disabilities and our temporary afflictions? (Jeffrey R. Holland, Like a Broken Vessel, October 2013 General Conference)
Was it truth when Boyd K. Packer taught that someone couldn’t have “inborn tendencies” (aka: be born gay) because God wouldn’t do that to his children? (Boyd K. Packer, Cleansing the Inner Vessel, October 2010 General Conference) Or was it truth when leaders taught that same sex attraction wasn’t a sin but acting on it was? (M. Russell Ballard, The Lord Needs You Now!, Ensign Sep. 2015)
Was it truth when the leaders implemented a policy in 2015 that children of same sex couples should be prohibited from being baptized? Or was it truth when only 4 years later “God” changed his mind and the policy was reversed?
@@jh1781 News flash, prophets are imperfect because they are mortal, Joseph Smith proclaimed there was only one good man and that was Christ!
Take your used, old, tired cut and paste anti mormon blather and talk to my hand.
@@bradjennings8714 Seems weird that a prophet who speaks with God would make so many mistakes. Just keep loading up that shelf though. The cracks will get bigger and it will come crashing down. Until then, keep paying your 10% - cuz God really needs your money.
@@d.charlespyle banning blacks from receiving the Preithood was not policy but doctrine.

@@josecanterovilla5397 lo mismo mi hijo
I have become a believer in Christ through prayer and trying to read Book of Mormon. It was not easy. I was not happy to kneel 1st time, and ask God if these things are true. It is imperative to humble ourselves before Him. No not seeing Him. I had to find my faith at first. This is key!!!
My testimony came very suddenly and quickly as l knelt at my daughters bed, later, 2nd time, only to make it as she left to go to school. It was as simple as this. A great impression came into my bosom..."It is true!" ..just as simple as this . That was 43 years ago. It has never left me, nor have l doubted. From that instance l received a testimony that Joseph Smith was a Prophet of God, A that the church is a living church as l received revelation for myself B and that Christ is the Head of His church, this church whose missionaries were sent by God to call me to repentance and be baptised C.
I have become rich in my testimony to know and to see for myself, indeed the church is true. 🇬🇧. 16:05 churchofjesuschrist.org
Thank you for sharing your experience on how you obtained your beautiful testimony!
