- Moro 9:6 From Mormon's comments about not having faith that his people will be saved (for example, in Morm 5:2), it sounds like Mormon and Moroni expect that they are fighting a losing war against the wicked state of their society. Yet even though they expect that society as a whole will be lost to wickedness, they still feel an obligation to help save as many individuals along the way as possible. This example from two great prophets can provide guidance to others about how to live in a society is likewise moving in the direction of increasing wickedness, even hopelessly complete wickedness. Also see the Lord's reaction to the wicked who were destroyed in the flood in Moses 7:36-37.
Prompts for further study[edit]
This section is for prompts that invite us to think about a passage more deeply or in a new way. These are not necessarily questions that beg for answers, but rather prompts along the lines of "Have you ever thought about ..." Prompts are most helpful when they are developed individually, thoughtfully, and with enough background information to clearly indicate a particular direction for further study or thought. Click the link above and to the right to edit or add content to this heading. →
- Moro 9:6. Does "the enemy of all righteousness" refer directly to Lucifer or ourselves in this verse? Isn't it Christ who will conquer Satan?
Resources[edit]
This section is for listing links and print resources, including those that are also cited elsewhere on this page. A short comment about the particular strengths of a resource can be helpful. Click the link above and to the right to edit or add content to this heading. →
- Moro 9:6. D. Todd Christofferson, "Let Us Be Men," Ensign, Nov 2006, pp. 46–48. Elder Christofferson exhorts men to action with these words: "We who hold the priesthood of God cannot afford to drift. We have work to do. We must arise from the dust of self-indulgence and be men!"
Notes[edit]
Footnotes are not required but are encouraged for factual assertions that average readers cannot easily evaluate for themselves, such as the date of King Solomon’s death or the nuanced definition of a Greek word. In contrast, insights rarely benefit from footnoting, and the focus of this page should always remain on the scriptures themselves rather than what someone has said about them. Links are actively encouraged on all sections of this page, and links to authoritative sources are preferable to footnotes.
