Then Joshua summoned the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and said to them, "You have kept all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, and have listened to my voice in all that I have commanded you. (Josh 22:1-2 | 1995 NASB)
Imagine if such a passage was in the Book of Mormon! Evangelical critics would claim that such a text teaches the “Impossible Gospel” critics (falsely) charge “Mormonism” of preaching, as Joshua congratulates the people for fulfilling all the commandments they were given from both Joshua and Moses. Of course, this text will be glossed over and/or eisegeted by our Evangelical friends because . . .well, it has a positive view of works and human nature, both anathema to our “friends.”
