Alma 10 I guess that Abinadi interpreting the writing on the wall of The temple was something that took place before Mosiah led the righteous out of the land of Nephi and eventually to the land of Zerahemla. I would suspect that it took place sometime during the period covered by the book of Omni.…

Alma 9 I wonder how much, if anything, Alma knew about the thousands of Lamanites who were accepting the truth at the time he was teaching this in Ammonihah.

Alma 7 – 8 Alma tells the people that Christ is coming but that he didn’t know if Christ will come among them during His mortal life. When I read that I wondered how much of the scriptures he was still coming to internalize. When he followed that with the statement that Christ would be…

Alma 4 – 6 It sounds like the chief judge didn’t have the owe to enact new laws when needed until Alma arranged for that power to be given to Nephihah as the second chief judge.

Alma 2 – 3 We need to learn to recognize those movements which are aggressive because they are the ones which will not rest simply because the voice of the people I’d against them. Such movements are perfectly willing to subvert the law and the will of the people if things don’t simply go their…

Alma 1 What justification did Nehor think he could offer for killing Gideon? It seems the only truthful thing he could say was that he was upset that Gideon wouldn’t be convinced by his logic.

Alma 62 – 63 Gideon was the city built in the valley where the Gideon of the kingdom of Limhi was killed by Nehor. Now it is the place where Pahoran had fled for safety. Once the inner vessel was cleansed the tide of the war immediately turned to distinctly favor the Nephites. Did Shiblon…

Alma 60 – 61 It seems to be a trait of Moroni’s that he starts off with a response and can become carried away on an idea that was not previously apparent. He wrote to Ammoron about exchanging prisoners only to spend much of the epistle talking about the injustice of the Lamanite cause. Here…

Alma 59 It must have been very frustrating to lose Nephihah as Moroni was thinking of his own struggles and reading of Helaman’s success in spite of insufficient resources. To then lose Nephihah just added another later of evidence concerning how poorly they were being supported by the people back in the capital.

Alma 56 – 58 I had never considered before that both of the first two cities that Helaman reclaimed were reclaimed because the Lamanite have up hope of maintaining them and abandoned them rather than by force of arms in battle. That serves as a reminder that those who address on the side of wickedness…
