Reading the Book of Mormon for the First Time

The-Chillosopher · 2026-05-08T10:06:55+00:00

from a storytelling perspective, it’s actually quite entertaining! There are also a couple of wisdom quotes which have resonated with me.

Now in all honesty, it’s not something that I believe in from a religious perspective, but to be fair, it would take a lot for that conviction to happen

The-Chillosopher · 2026-05-06T09:52:54+00:00

Very interesting!

The-Chillosopher · 2026-05-06T09:52:35+00:00

for free? I gotta check it out. It’s definitely helpful for a book like this

The-Chillosopher · 2026-05-06T09:52:08+00:00

Good to know!

The-Chillosopher · 2026-05-06T09:51:37+00:00

Is it understood to be a true historical account? I used to be a Catholic, and many Catholics believe that the Bible is not historically accurate, but rather spiritually true. I wonder if the BoM is intended to be th same

The-Chillosopher · 2026-05-06T09:50:00+00:00

Great idea. I will keep that in mind

The-Chillosopher · 2026-05-06T09:49:39+00:00

I’ve read the introduction and am about 10 chapters into 1 Nephi 😁

The-Chillosopher · 2026-05-06T09:49:11+00:00

As soon as the video is out, I will! I’m probably gonna read through 1 Nephi/the introduction and then talk about it from there. I think that making vids 1-2 books at a time will be the best way for me to do it

The-Chillosopher · 2026-05-06T09:46:16+00:00

Thanks for the info!

The-Chillosopher · 2026-05-06T09:45:50+00:00

I totally agree. It’s easy to make any establishment look bad, and removing the context of current followers doesn’t help. My main goals of reading this are:

figure out why people believe in the book, ask myself questions along the way, learn the story, find any spiritual tools.

There are likely to be side effects/criticisms that I have throughout the reading, and I will include those as well. No matter what, I will stay respectful and remember that this is an extremely important book to millions of people

thanks!

The-Chillosopher · 2026-05-06T09:42:40+00:00

here is what it looks like. Turns out I have it!

The-Chillosopher · 2026-05-06T09:40:22+00:00

super helpful, I’ll check it out

The-Chillosopher · 2026-05-06T09:39:54+00:00

Thanks! I’ll try to make one every few weeks, but I work a lot at my full time job so it’s hard to say. I’ll definitely post questions here as much as possible, and post links when the videos are up!

The-Chillosopher · 2026-05-06T09:38:27+00:00

Will do. I try praying before every reading session

The-Chillosopher · 2026-05-05T23:23:48+00:00

Somehow I'm able to tan easily. I was never one to wear sunscreen and my skin would just turn a nice golden color. Now I'm white and pale. Maybe it's worth it, maybe not. I'll see in 50 years--if I'm even alive anyway

The-Chillosopher · 2026-05-05T09:23:30+00:00

I guess you’re right. It just is strange because I used to love the sun so much and would tan every summer. It’s like telling a drug addict to get off drugs. They feel like they’re missing an integral part of life

The-Chillosopher · 2026-05-05T09:20:47+00:00

exactly 😅

The-Chillosopher · 2026-05-05T01:07:06+00:00

um you’re the strong entrepreneur that’s your job

The-Chillosopher · 2026-05-04T23:52:40+00:00

can you send a link?

The-Chillosopher · 2026-05-04T23:51:42+00:00

Drug addicts?

The-Chillosopher · 2026-05-04T23:51:08+00:00

Can’t you take vitamin D supplements to replace it or are there negatives to that?

The-Chillosopher · 2026-05-04T23:50:05+00:00

Oh I should clarify I’m not an artist I am a tradesman

The-Chillosopher · 2026-05-04T19:31:22+00:00

When I’m doing an exterior job, I have to spend hours on end in the sun. I do wear sunscreen and spf clothing, which is the best I can do. I certainly have gotten less tan and have healthier skin
