Talk:Omni 1:1-5

I find it interesting that in a book filled with inspired words from inspired prophets we have Omni a clearly wicked man. He openly admits to have not followed the commandments of God. Why do you think the Lord would allow someone who was clearly not inspired to write his words in a book filled with inspiration? I think we can learn a lot from the little that Omni gives us. I think by his wording you can tell that he regrets what he has done by saying that he hasn't kept the commandments as he "ought to have done". I definately don't want to look back on my life and have it be filled with regret for the things I ought to have done. We only get one shot at this life and if we don't find out ourselves now and what we stand for we'll look back and think of the years wasted in sin and misery. For it is true misery never was happiness.
