Welcome to talking scripture. I'm Mike and I'm Bryce and today we're going to be

in Maroni 1 through 6 this is kind of the second ending isn't it Bryce?

Yeah he first he ended when he thought he was

going to end and then he he lives much longer. Chapter 1 he clearly says I did not

expect to have this amount of time to write. I'm hiding from the Lamanites. I love

the line they put to death every Nephite that will not deny the Christ and I love this

next line and I'm ronai will not deny the Christ meaning if they find me I know they're going to kill me but they haven't found me yet and so I continue to write

Which is interesting because now what does he put in?

I wonder if he wrote chapter one before he wrote the book of ether.

And I know Mike's going to talk about that in a bit.

I wonder if he says, well, let's throw in the book of ether.

And then after the book of ether and then after the book

of ether his question is what is missing what does the book not yet have looking

back over the whole history of the book of Mormon what are some of the small little cracks in the wall that I can feel?

And so chapters 2 through 6 seem to focus on the role of the church,

because if you think about the Book of Mormon, nowhere in the Book of the church because if you think about the book of Mormon

nowhere in the book of Mormon do ever get to look into the church we never walk
