Gospel Doctrine Book of Mormon Lesson 12
Seek Ye for the Kingdom of God
Magnify Callings, Be Chaste, Invite Others
Jacob 1-4
Before I begin, does anyone have questions related to these chapters? General gospel questions?
Does anyone in the class wear glasses? (Near-sighted)
.....How do your glasses/contacts help you to see? - Magnify: Bring Into Focus
1:19........ Why and How to Magnify our Callings
2:4.......... Jacob saw the Savior in his youth
4:6.......... Faith to command the trees, mountains and waves
...I wish we could talk about these verses in detail, and that we were all righteous enough to gain some learning on how it is done. Instead, we must first discuss Abuse, and set daggers at the hearts of the wicked and righteous alike
2:7-10..... I must enlarge the wounds
2:32,35.... God will not allow men to cause their women to grieve
...Abuse: Read this aloud if inspired to do so. This is how Jacob set daggers at the hearts of the people.
.....Abuse can be defined as treating or speaking to someone in a way that is demeaning or that causes injury or serious offense
.....Child abuse occurs when someone who is in a position of trust or control threatens or causes physical or emotional harm to a child. It includes physical abuse or neglect, emotional abuse, and sexual abuse.
.....Spouse abuse may also be physical, emotional, or sexual. Emotional abuse can consist of name calling, demeaning statements, unrighteous control or compulsion, threats, isolation, intimidation, or manipulation. Physical abuse includes withholding necessities and using physical violence such as pushing, choking, scratching, pinching, restraining, or hitting. Sexual abuse may be either emotional or physical and includes sexual harassment, the inflicting of pain, and the use of force or intimidation.
.....Every effort should be made by priesthood leaders, family members, and others to prevent abuse and to assist in the healing of an abused person. Leaders and family members should also try to help the abuser repent; Church discipline may be necessary to bring this about.
2:24.27........ multiple wives and concubines abominable.
...What is a concubine?
.......(in polygamous societies) a woman who lives with a man but has lower status than his wife or wives.
.......Archaic: a mistress.
...Why was David and Solomon's wives an abomination?
.......They married outside the covenant
.......D&C 132 - Plural marriage approved
.......Official Declaration 1 - Plural marriage no longer allowed
...What is lasciviousness?
.......1. inclined to lustfulness; wanton; lewd: a lascivious, girl-chasing old man.
.......2. arousing sexual desire: lascivious photographs.
.......3. indicating sexual interest or expressive of lust or lewdness: a lascivious gesture.
...How do we know when a sin must be confessed to the Bishop? (ask a Bishop in the room)
1:5-6...... Faith and Anxiety reveal the future
1:9........ Why was Jacob not named king? (separation of Church & State)
1:15-16.... List of wickedness (plural marriage & greed or pride)
1:19....... Why and How to Magnify our Callings
