Does 2 Nephi 25:23 Teach Grace or Works?
Is salvation truly by grace, or is it grace after all we can do? In this video, we take a deep dive into one of the most debated verses in the Book of Mormon—2 Nephi 25:23—and compare the historical LDS interpretation with the biblical gospel.
🔥 We’ll expose the modern LDS attempt to reinterpret this verse (“in spite of all we can do”) and show:
- What the 1828 Webster’s Dictionary actually says
- How LDS leaders like Spencer W. Kimball, Ezra Taft Benson, and Boyd K. Packer taught this verse
- What the official LDS manual True to the Faith says about it
- A full list of salvation requirements added after this verse in Mormon theology
- The biblical gospel of grace — free, undeserved, and available to all who believe
This is a must-watch for anyone exploring the differences between Mormonism and biblical Christianity.
