"Inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall prosper in the land; but inasmuch as ye will not keep my commandments, ye shall be cut off from the presence of the Lord" traces the origins of this Nephite saying, which appears with minor variations multiple times in the Book of Mormon. Follow-up posts ask "What did 'cut off from the presence of the Lord' mean to Nephi?" and discuss "Later Nephite understanding of being 'cut off from the presence of the Lord.'"
I've also reposted my 2014 exploration of "The question of Lehi's ethnicity," which makes the case that, prior to discovering his Manassite heritage, Lehi thought of himself not as a Jew but as an Egyptian.
As my Book of Mormon posts appear to be attracting zero interest from the regular readers of this blog, I will no longer be posting updates here. If you're interested, follow that blog.

Have pity of those of us with multiple jobs! I barely have time to read your posts, let alone think about what you've written! I'll follow the other blog though that's not hard.
