27:35 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and
they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
2 Nephi Chapter 28
28:1 And now, behold, my brethren, I have spoken unto you, according as
the Spirit hath constrained me; wherefore, I know that they must surely
come to pass.
28:2 And the things which shall be written out of the book shall be of
great worth unto the children of men, and especially unto our seed,
which is a remnant of the house of Israel.
28:3 For it shall come to pass in that day that the churches which are
built up, and not unto the Lord, when the one shall say unto the other:
Behold, I, I am the Lord’s; and the others shall say: I, I am the
Lord’s; and thus shall every one say that hath built up churches, and
not unto the Lord—
28:4 And they shall contend one with another; and their priests shall
contend one with another, and they shall teach with their learning, and
deny the Holy Ghost, which giveth utterance.
28:5 And they deny the power of God, the Holy One of Israel; and they
say unto the people: Hearken unto us, and hear ye our precept; for
behold there is no God today, for the Lord and the Redeemer hath done
his work, and he hath given his power unto men;
28:6 Behold, hearken ye unto my precept; if they shall say there is a
miracle wrought by the hand of the Lord, believe it not; for this day
he is not a God of miracles; he hath done his work.
28:7 Yea, and there shall be many which shall say: Eat, drink, and be
merry, for tomorrow we die; and it shall be well with us.
28:8 And there shall also be many which shall say: Eat, drink, and be
merry; nevertheless, fear God—he will justify in committing a little
sin; yea, lie a little, take the advantage of one because of his words,
dig a pit for thy neighbor; there is no harm in this; and do all these
things, for tomorrow we die; and if it so be that we are guilty, God
will beat us with a few stripes, and at last we shall be saved in the
kingdom of God.
28:9 Yea, and there shall be many which shall teach after this manner,
false and vain and foolish doctrines, and shall be puffed up in their
hearts, and shall seek deep to hide their counsels from the Lord; and
their works shall be in the dark.
28:10 And the blood of the saints shall cry from the ground against
them.
28:11 Yea, they have all gone out of the way; they have become
corrupted.
28:12 Because of pride, and because of false teachers, and false
doctrine, their churches have become corrupted, and their churches are
lifted up; because of pride they are puffed up.
28:13 They rob the poor because of their fine sanctuaries; they rob the
poor because of their fine clothing; and they persecute the meek and
the poor in heart, because in their pride they are puffed up.
