Ether 1
PoeticIntensity
Not too much to write about on this one. I guess I could try to memorize all the relationships mentioned. hehe.
Genealogy must have been pretty important back then (pretty important now-a-days, too), because they mentioned that it would be possible for us to have the history of the entire world up to that time. Interesting...

Mormon : 9 - Love?
PoeticIntensity
Growing up, I used to have a mis-conception that those who erred against God in their ways were best suited for rebuke the way God gives it in the scriptures. I was ignorantly judgemental, and for a long time, couldn't understand why people tended to shy away from my tactics.
Reading the beginning of this chapter brings back a lot of those ...

Mormon : 8
PoeticIntensity
Figuring out the mood and temprament of Moroni while he writes this is tough. The things he writes about are horrific. The Lamanites have killed his entire race, his family, and his father. The "state of the union", as it were, was "continual warefare, bloodshed, and violence." He had to be depress...

To be found guiltless. What would that entail? Continual repentance would probably b...

Mormon : 6
PoeticIntensity
So... Here's a thought for ya. Mormon had seen the end of his people. He knew the Nephites were going to be destroyed, and not only that, he knew how and when they were going to be destroyed. Verse 6 confirms this by relating, "...and knowing it to be the last struggle of my people". He knew his people...

Mormon : 5 - Arms of Jesus

So, the past few days have been days of trial, and these days come and go largely, I believe, to help me remember the covenants I've made to God, and to help me remember how sweet it is to feel the Spirit.
When I read the end of verse 11, I wondered what those who had never felt "clasped in the arms of Jesus" might think of those ...

that it is an awful sin, and as long as you don't act on it, youre okay.
I really don't believe that God would make 10% of...
