Moroni 9 I just found the value in this chapter – the reason that Moroni included this epistle (a reason in any case) – this epistle gives some very clear signs regarding what it looks like when the spirit of God has ceased to strive with people – when they have rejected the gospel in…

Moroni 8 This letter from Mormon makes mor sense when put in the context of a modern phenomenon. Many times we have heard as the soon of a prophet or apostle is caked as a general authority (I can recall it for President Hinckley and President Packer as well as the fact that President Monson’s…

Moroni 7 I wonder what calling Mormon held in the church. there only seemed to be elders, priests, and teachers. Mormon was obviously at least a teacher. I would suspect that he was an elder but I am not entirely sure that there are any elders besides the remaining deadbolts by the days of Mormon…

Moroni 1 – 6 I suspect that Moroni decided that he needed to write more based on the fact that he was not captured and killed anytime soon after finishing the record of Ether. I also believe that he wrote all that we have broken into five chapters at the same time. He may have…

Physically (and more importantly for us temporally) we ought to credit the person for having given the gift insofar as we can discern that it was given. We should not try to…

Moroni 1 – 6 What Moroni wrote in his father’s book was all he expected to write for himself and that was just the command of his father. I believe that Mormon recommended that if he had the chance he should write an abridgment of the record of Ether but once he finished with that…

Moroni 10It must have Bernhardt for Moroni, even after 30 uears of being alone and seeing the wickedness of the Lamanites to nor have anyone to pass this record on to. I can imagine centuries of relief when he was finally able to pass the plates off to Joseph.
