Very interesting that the word "hate"
is used in this context. Very interesting, indeed. I'm not quite sure what to make of it, but it's quite interesting there were no other words chosen. I find it difficult to associate the word "hate" with God. I've gotta ponder on that one for a bit.
"Freedom" and "Steadfastness" when associated with the vigor with which the Lamanites keep the commandments of God is inspiring. I hope I can find that within me, and let it shine brightly.
Good chapter.
