What about us Gentiles?

[rewcox]

2 Nephi 30
1 And now behold, my beloved brethren, I would speak unto you; for I, Nephi, would not suffer that ye should suppose that ye are more righteous than the Gentiles shall be. For behold, except ye shall keep the commandments of God ye shall all likewise perish; and because of the words which have been spoken ye need not suppose that the Gentiles are utterly destroyed.

2 For behold, I say unto you that as many of the Gentiles as will repent are the covenant people of the Lord; and as many of the Jews as will not repent shall be cast off; for the Lord covenanteth with none save it be with them that repent and believe in his Son, who is the Holy One of Israel.

Perishing, destruction, repenting, casting off.

I trust Nephi knew what he was writing about, and that it was important enough to put it on precious plate space.

Is he talking about us church members?

Who are those beloved brethren?

What about us Gentiles?

[TZONE]

I think the question should be this,

as many of the Gentiles as will repent

What does it mean in God's eyes for us to repent?
How does one repent?

It doesn't matter whether we are gentile, jew, remnant, house of israel, we all must do the same, repent.

What about this scripture on the Gentiles. Log or someone, what does it mean to you?

2 Nephi 26
20 And the Gentiles are lifted up in the pride of their eyes, and have stumbled, because of the greatness of their stumbling block, that they have built up many churches; nevertheless, they put down the power and miracles of God, and preach up unto themselves their own wisdom and their own learning, that they may get gain and grind upon the face of the poor.

I just take it at face value. Hi, Rick.

Verse 31 indicates, to me, it's us.
