همچنانکه به این عبارت از نیفای ۴ گوش می کنید، آنرا با زمان حال مقایسه کنید: 'و بدانجا رسید وقتی که دویست و ده سال گذشت کلیسا های زیادی در دنیا بودند؛ ، آری، کلیسا های زیادی که اعتراف به شناخت مسیح نمودند، ولیکن قسمت های زیادی از مژدۀ او را انکار کردند، آن چنان که اجازه به کردن کار های شرارت آمیز دادند، و چیز های مقدّس را به آنهائی که نا پاک بودند ارائه کردند' (۴ نیفای ٢۷:١).
As you listen to this passage from 4 Nephi, look for parallels in our day: “And it came to pass that when two hundred and ten years had passed away there were many churches in the land; yea, there were many churches which professed to know the Christ, and yet they did deny the more parts of his gospel, insomuch that they did receive all manner of wickedness, and did administer that which was sacred unto him to whom it had been forbidden because of unworthiness” (4 Nephi 1:27).LDS LDS
