Textual Parallels 41 The middle of this verse contains several phrases that are highly similar to Romans 10:21. Compare "he stretches forth his hands unto them all the day long" to "All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto". Also compare "a stiffnecked and a gainsaying people" to "a disobedient and gainsaying people". Note that the word "gainsaying" only appears 3 times in the KJV bible. | |
Textual Parallels 51 This verse contains the phrase "words of soberness" which is highly parallel to "words of truth and soberness" found Acts 26:25. Note that the word "soberness" only occurs once in the KJV bible. This verse also highly resembles Acts 11:23. Compare "with full purpose of heart" to the unique "with purpose of heart". Also compare the "cleave unto God" with "cleave unto the Lord". It's odd that both of these bible verses with highly similar phrases are found within the book of Acts. | |
Textual Parallels 61 This verse is a mashup of Psalms 95:7-8 and Ezekiel 33:11. Note that the former verse is also quoted in Hebrews 3:7-8, Hebrews 3:15, and Hebrews 4:7 but with a pluralized "hearts" as it is with this Book of Mormon verse. | |

8 Behold, will ye reject these words? Will ye reject the words of the prophets; and will ye reject all the words which have been spoken concerning Christ, after so many have spoken concerning him; and deny the good word of Christ, and the power of God, and the gift of the Holy Ghost, and quench the Holy Spirit, and make a mock of the great plan of redemption, which hath been laid for you? | 8 |

10 1 According to D&C 19:6-12 the words “endless” and “eternal” do not mean without end when it comes to “endless torment” or “eternal damnation”. These verses in the D&C explain that these words are used because, “it is more express than other scriptures, that it might work upon the hearts of the children of men.” When people read these words in the Book of Mormon, how do they likely understand the words “endless” and “eternal”? Is this honest communication if D&C 19 reveals the actual meaning of these words? | |
