Mormon
When contemplating Mormon it isn’t possible to be anything but constantly amazed at what he went through. By age ten he was singled out to keep the sacred records. By age sixteen he was so righteous that he saw the Savior. Throughout his life he saw so much wickedness that he knew his people were…

Moroni 10 I can’t imagine living in a society where there are no gifts of the spirit because there are none who do good. I just love the invitation in these last five verses to come into Christ and be perfected in Him.

Moroni 9 Was Moroni just trying to convey the depravity among the Nephites before they were destroyed? Why did Mormon wrote these things? Was Moroni not seeing that level of depravity where he was?

Mormon 9 I never noticed before that “God” is sometimes capitalized in the Book of Mormon but not always. The closing phrase of verse 10 here is, “then have ye imagined up unto yourselves a god who is not a God of miracles.”

Mormon 8 Moroni was feeling depressed and overwhelmed as he began writing in the sacred record. He had experienced the destruction of his people and felt that his life had been dominated by wickedness. From that background how could he do more than record a few observed facts about the situation? The one thing Moroni…

2 Nephi 28 – 30 The warnings here at the end of 2 Nephi correlate perfectly with the warnings by Moroni against those churches in the modern age which would claim that the work of God was finished and He was no longer active among mankind. I don’t put any stock in this idea but…

Moroni 10 By 420 AD I wonder whether the Lamanites were still having continual warfare among themselves. If not, had thirty-five years been long enough to cool their hatred of the Nephites to the point that a single, aging Nephite might be able to safely be seen by the most liberal of Lamanites out was…
