Intolerance in Jacob

  1. God curses "the land" to punish humans, and he has cursed the Lamanites (Native Americans) "with a sore cursing." 3:3

  2. The Lamanites (Native Americans) are filthy and have dark skins because they were cursed by God. (But at least they weren't polygamists, as were the Nephites.) 3:5

  3. If you don't repent, God will make your skin even darker than that of the Lamanites (Native Americans). 3:8

  4. God made the Lamanites (Native Americans) filthy and dark skinned "because of their fathers." 3_9

  5. "Jews were a stiffnecked people" who "despised the words of plainness," killed the prophets, and sought understanding. For this, God has blinded them and "taken away his plainness from them" so "that they may stumble." 4:14

  6. God will curse some people and burn the world with fire. 6:3

  7. Those who "bring forth evil fruit" will be "cast into the fire." 6:7

  8. God will cast some people into a lake of fire and brimstone where he will torment them forever. 6:10

  9. "Thou art the devil."
    For asking for a sign from God signaling his intention of sending Christ 500+ years in the future, Jacob calls Sherem "the devil." 7:14

  10. "He gave up the ghost."
    God gives Sherem a little sign: he kills him. 7:15-20

  11. "This thing was pleasing to me."
    Jacob is pleased that God killed Sherem. 7:22
