The divisions come when he confuses us over what our true identity is. They were not Nephites nor Lamanites, but found their true, secret identity: “children of Christ and heirs to the kingdom of God” We see that the people did not distinguish themselves. There were no robbers, nor murderers, neither were there Lamanites, nor any manner of -ites but they were inone, the children of Christ, and heirs to the kingdom of God. The Book of Mormon actually talks of a time when the people knew their true selves:Īnd it came to pass that there was no contention in the land, because of the love of God which did dwell in the hearts of the people. And there were no envyings, nor strifes, nor tumults, nor whoredoms, nor lyings, nor murders, nor any manner of lasciviousness and surely there could not be a happierpeople among all the people who had been created by the hand of God. Sadly, such focus on certain temporal particulars of ourselves actually cause us to lose our fully authentic selves. Many are coming forth to distinguish themselves from everyone else Facebook, Twitter and other online services help people come forth to say, “Here I am! Look at ME!” Others may find their identity in their sexuality, drug use, religion, education, wealth, possessions, ethnicity, etc. Some have green hair, multiple piercings and tattooes. Rachel Dolezal insists she is African American, though her white parents dispute it. Today, we find people struggling with their true identities. The two duke it out, until the real Man of Steel, his true identity, wins. In an interesting scene, the evil Superman lands in an auto junkyard, screams, and then has his alter-ego, Clark Kent, emerge. In the classic Superman movie series ( Superman 3), starring Christopher Reeve, we find that Superman is contaminated by some Kryptonite.
