Nephi provides a narrowing definition of the Gentiles to help us understand that WE, the “latter-day saints,” are the Gentiles in the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and other scriptures. Rob’s presentation will break down Nephi’s description and offer additional scriptural examples to help us see ourselves as Gentiles through God’s lens. It will surprise you to learn how we are fulfilling God’s prophecies – both good and bad – as latter-day saints. Learning that WE are the Gentiles should change the way we all study the scriptures and open up new insights that have been hidden in plain sight for years.

Bio

Robert Warcup is a life-long member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and is committed to the gospel of Jesus Christ. He is a professor of Construction Management at Utah Valley University. Like most people, he enjoys family, exercise, home projects, outdoors, and studying the scriptures. Over the years, Rob has sacrificed much to study and learn the scriptures on a deeper level. His awakening to what the scriptures actually say vs. doctrinal traditions helped him write his book “Lost Doctrines of the Restoration: Recovering the Fulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ from Joseph Smith.” It is a deep dive into doctrines of the fulness of the gospel taught by Joseph Smith that are now misunderstood, abandoned, or twisted in today’s culture. He uses the scriptures to validate Joseph’s words, uncovering the doctrines and mysteries we have lost since the death of the prophet Joseph.
