Okay... First question about this chapter which really intrigues me is this: Why would Moroni immediately assume wickedness on the part of the Nephites as soon as Nephihah was taken over?
I don't ask this question rhetorically, or sarcastically because if I were him, I guess I could think of a thousand other reasons why a city would get taken over, rather than wickedness...
I guess I've been conditioned to be non-judgemental through my life, and this judgement, in my estimation, if it was off-base, could be highly, highly offensive. Assuming a people are wicked because they lose a city could be considered quite judgmental, couldn't it?
It could be analogous to someone assuming wickedness being the cause of a neighbor's house burning down, couldn't it?
I'm just playing the devil's advocate here, of course. I know Moroni had his reasons to think the way he did, and I wish I could hone in on that type of spirituality... To accurately discern the root of problems created in society.
I don't know. Just kind of blabbering now. Very interesting question posed by this chapter, for sure, though.
