Confounding of false doctrines

The following passage, from the Book of Mormon, is the Lord speaking to Joseph, of ancient Egypt fame, quoted by the prophet Lehi. The Brass plates would be the likely source for Lehi to have used.

2 Nephi, Chapter 3

11 But a seer will I raise up out of the fruit of thy loins; and unto him will I give power to bring forth my word unto the seed of thy loins—and not to the bringing forth my word only, saith the Lord, but to the convincing them of my word, which shall have already gone forth among them.
12 Wherefore, the fruit of thy loins shall write; and the fruit of the loins of Judah shall write; and that which shall be written by the fruit of thy loins, and also that which shall be written by the fruit of the loins of Judah, shall grow together, unto the confounding of false doctrines and laying down of contentions, and establishing peace among the fruit of thy loins, and bringing them to the knowledge of their fathers in the latter days, and also to the knowledge of my covenants, saith the Lord.

This is interpreted as meaning the writings of the Jewish nation, the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, and the writings of the descendants of Joseph, the Book of Mormon, would work together to confound the false doctrines had by man in the latter days.

It is my hope to explore many of the false doctrines of traditional christianity in this blog.
