3 Nephi 1 The Gadiantons were terrorizing and weakening the Nephites and the Lamanites while simultaneously drawing strength to themselves by inviting dissenters to join them. They continued that until they were strong enough to come out in open war against those who had not joined them.

3 Nephi 29 – 30 Mormon says that when these things come forth we need. It say that the Lord delays His coming. After 180 years there are likely to be some who say that despite his warning. Any who do forget that the Lord operates on a longer timetable than men and just because…

3 Nephi 28 I sometimes wonder if eight of the disciples heard the first one and concluded that it was a good desire or whether they each had that same desire independently. I also wonder what the three thought of their own desire prior to the Savior promising to grant it. We are told that…
