pam Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Reference Search: 2 Nephi 26:20-31Quote for DiscussionNephi continued his prophecy in 2 Nephi 26, where he described conditions among the Gentiles of the last days. It is a description of spiritual poverty, because the Gentiles (1) would be “lifted up in the pride of their eyes”; (2) would stumble spiritually, as noted earlier, because of their stumbling block; (3) would preach for religious doctrine their own ideas gained through their own wisdom and learning; (4) would preach for financial gain; (5) would deny the miracles and power of God: (6) would be filled with envy, malice, and strife; and (7) would support secret combinations from the devil. All this can be classified as priestcraft. (2 Ne. 26:20-31.)Robert J.
