Alma 43
Verse 30
And he also knowing that it was the only
desire of the Nephites to preserve their lands, and their liberty, and their
church, therefore he thought it no sin that he should defend them by stratagem;
therefore, he found by his spies which course the Lamanites were to take.
The Comments:
I find it
strange that Mormon took the time to tell the readers here why Moroni felt it
was okay to defend with stratagem. It
seems that being offensive is not the first plan, but that in defense of the
reasons in the verse, the Lord is supportive of his people going to battle and
sending so many of their brothers and sisters into the next world not having
been introduced to the gospel.
So if you’re
about to snap on someone, check out the intentions and desires of your heart.
What’s going on there, and which way should you go, forward or take a step
back?
