Mosiah : 12
I wonder if Abinadi's disguise was due to him not being welcome in the city anymore, as in, he couldn't get in at all without it. Dunno... Just a thought.
Also, I find it quite prophetic for Abiniadi to be using the analogy of a piece of cloth in a hot furnace, as far as the worth of King Noah's life. He could have just as easily used any other number of analogies. Also, at this point, I wonder if Abinadi knew of his fate?
Verses 1 through 8 pretty much just gives a list of prophetic statements which will happen against the people unless they repent. As we see they didn't, it would be interesting to go and find scriptural evidence for each prophetic statement Abinadi uttered.
Hmm... Verse 11 has a statement of one of the priests saying Abinadi related Noah's life to a "stalk"... Why is that not found in the previous verses of Abinadi's prophecies? Verse 12 has the same, about the thistle... Hmm.... Are they making it up, or did Mormon just not put those in the text?
Man.... Especially not as a last ditch effort to confound him, but never ask a prophet to expound a scripture which you yourself are deceitfully perverting. Most likely, he'll make you look like a fool, just as Abinadi did to this poor priest in verses 19 - 37.

Interesting thoughts honey. I love Abinadi and how he speaks so powerfully.
Reffering to verse 11 and 12. I think that either the priests made it up because from what we read further in the chapter, they lie a lot or maybe it was more specific things that Abinadi said before in the prophetic destruction statements, but were not recorded.
It always amazes me how well the prophets of the Book of Mormon know the Old Testament. It makes me think that the Old Testament was very important scripture to the people that lived in that time because it is refferred to quite often throughout the Book of Mormon. Especially Isiah. I guess we need to buckle down and try and figure out a little bit of what Isiah is talking about.
