Mormon 9How apt that Moroni asks the people today if they will suddenly gain a belief in God when they see Christ for themsleves. Today we have so many people who profess to disbelieve in God either through their words or through their actions – what will they say when that disbelief (whichever form it…

Mormon 7 – 8I’m confident that Moroni stayed with his father until such time as Mormon insisted that Moroni go away rather than be captured together by the lamanites and both be killed. Personally, I expect that Mormon had instructed Moroni that he would have to save himself whenever any Lamanites closed in on them…

Mormon 5 – 6I don’t see why the Lord would tell Mormon to begin leading the people again after He had commanded him to stand as an idle witness to their destruction. I also don’t see how Mormon would have “repent{ed} of the oath which {he} had made” unless he had the approval of the…

Mormon 3 – 4Ten years of peace. I wonder if those were the happiest uears in the life of Mormon – or possibly the most frstrating as the people refused to listen.

Mormon 1 – 2In the borders of Zerahemla by the river Sidon seems to be a common place in history for battles between the Nephites and Lamanites to take place. The disciples of Christ were taken between the time that Mormon was eleven and the time he was fifteen.

Mormon 8Moroni felt that the intent of the Book of Mormon was important and instructive enough that it deserved as much repetition as possible. The only thing that kept him from writing it again was a lack of space on the plates. Moroni says that he will write things that his father commanded him to…

Mormon 7I almost wonder if Mormon dictated this to Moroni as he was dying after the final Nephite battle. All the prophets reach out in their final pleas to the people they have left behind. The pleas differ based on the circumstances of the people. When the people are not threatened with destruction the reaching…

Mormon 6I see a society where many people seem spiritually lost – without direction or dead to things of the spirit – but to see virtually every person in such a state and to watch them go from spiritually dead to physically dead – it is not at all surprising that Mormon would mourn in…

Mormon 4“There never had been greater wickedness among . . . all the house of Israel, according to the words of the Lord, as was among this people.” I get the impression that the spirit testified to Mormon that this was the greatest wickedness ever seen among the House of Israel.
