The only reason the people of Limhi were not slaughtered after the daughters of the Lamanites were abducted was because Limhi prudently watched the Lamanites and then when they fought they did so in righteousness.

I have been like the Lamanites here – leaping to conclusions with only skeletal facts and meting out Justice based on those faulty “facts”.

The only reason for king Noah to command the men to abandon their women and children was so that they could potentially defend him if the Lamanites continued to overtake him and those who were with him. This he donated his utter lack of moral authority to lead.

Alma baptized a small ward at first. By the time they fled from the army of Noah they had become a medium sized ward.

Alma repented and began to do privately what he had failed to do as a priest for king Noah. He began preaching the gospel of Christ to the people as Abinadi had recommended in his testimony. Perhaps as a former priest to the king he carried since ecclesiastical clout that he might not otherwise have…

The priests accused Abinadi of progressing evil against the king when he had only said that the people would come down to bondage because if there continued sinning. While he was being burned Alice Abinadi finally did prophesy evil for the king and his priests. The see if the priests would, in the future or…

Did Alma really believe that he could ask Noah to let Abinadi go? Either he underestimated Noah’s pride or he overestimated his influence or he simply had to try even knowing the odds were​ against him.

The hopeful message about redemption through Christ that Abinadi shared is the very reason that Abinadi could face death by fire with peace of mind. He knew the grand plan of redemption and so he could let his page be swollowed up in his joy in Christ.

I believe that when Abinadi talked about the get off those who would yet publish peace being beautiful Alma decided that he wanted to be one such person. From that point in his life was dedicated to publishing the peace that had ever his heart that day.

If the priests recognized that the quote which Abinadi was asked to explain came from Isaiah then it might have added to the convincing power of Abinadi that he proved his assertion regarding a Messiah overarching the law of Moses when he quoted Isaiah speaking of such a figure.
