The Origins of the Book of Mormon

December 15th, 2009 by admin

Mormon Doctrine teaches that a man named Lehi was a prophet in Jerusalem in 600 B.C. He preached repentance unto the Jews, but they were angry with him and sought to kill him. Lehi fled with his family and his friend Ishmael’s family. They were led through the desert to the ocean and were guided to the Americas by the hand of the Lord. Lehi’s oldest two sons, Laman and Lemuel, were wicked, however, and led many of their group astray. Their younger brother Nephi was told to flee with all the righteous who would follow them. Nephi’s descendants also kept a record, from which eventually came the translated Book of Mormon and further Mormon Doctrine.
