The Lectures of Faith, or in other words, the "Doctrine" portion of the Doctrine & Covenants of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was removed by a committee in 1921 for four questionable reasons. Were they legitimate reasons? What if we have been looking at the theology of these lectures all wrong? I would like to propose a way of looking at the lectures that solves the alleged theological problems.

What are miracles? We'll explore a little about how the Hebrews defined them and what the greatest miracle of all is that we can each experience for ourselves.

It appears that Mormon, the abridger of Nephite history, intentionally framed the story of Alma the elder and his people onto Nephi's vision of the tree of life using word links and other imagery.

Doing a bit of a deep dive into Lehi's vision and exploring some fresh takes on various aspects of the symbolic elements and seeing what we can find.

Some thoughts about the unique phrase "eye of faith" that only appears in three places in the Book of Mormon and what some potential meanings are that might go unnoticed, but are powerful beyond imagination. Based on this post of the same name: https://oneclimbs.com/2011/04/04/what-is-the-eye-of-faith

In 1 Nephi 17, Lehi's party arrives at a beautiful paradise they name "Bountiful" at the end of a very difficult 8 year journey in the wilderness. Laman and Lemuel, upon learning that Nephi is planning on building a ship begin to vent their frustrations about their perceived misfortunes and how their lives could have been better if they had remained in Jerusalem. We take another look at Nephi's response to their perspective and examine how we can't control the reality that we didn't get, but we can endure the reality that is before us.
