The people of king Noah at the time they arrested Abinadi and brought him to Noah sound like today’s Republicans. Having been corrupted by their leader they flatter him and parrot back the same lies he has been telling because under the leadership of a wicked man it is easy for people to abandon what…

We can see the spirit of contention among the Nephites in the leader who ordered the execution of Zeniff when he suggested spraying the Lamanites. We can also see it among the people of king Noah as they boast in their ability to kill Lamanites. We also see that sprout in king Laman and his…

For behold, in my name are they called; and if they know me they shall come forth, and shall have a place eternally at my right hand. Mosiah 26:24 If they know me they shall come forth (at the first call). If we didn’t develop a relationship with Christ so that we will recognize when…
