office, the Nephites existed in a true democracy, contrariwise. Citizens of the Nephite nation could vote for a new leader in the form of a king suggesting they could supplant the chief judge if they majority desired to do so; however, in agreement with Reynolds, the assumption exists that the Nephites entertained no provision to remove a judge once in place. The duties of the judges were to uphold the laws of the nation as prescribed by the last king and to dispense justice with equity according to sound common law relative to the established law. An assembly of lower judges arbitrated higher judges if the need arose. Tribal Federation (or Confederation) During the one hundred and twenty-first year of the reign of judges over the people of Nephi, Lachoneus the Second made history as the last person to hold the office and title of Chief Judge. After his inaugural year, Lachoneus, the son of Lachoneus perished at the lecherous and homicidal hands of King-men. A group of people seeking a monarchy vowed to exterminate the chief judge and install a kingdom. This group succeeded in dispatching the rightful leader, but destroyed the Nephite government in the process. Tribes formed to replace the shattered institution. Even though the Nephites raged that the secret organization called the Gadianton Robbers destroyed the government, that rage was not sufficient to inspire them to reform the Judgeships. The tribal federation occurred when the tribes of Nephites united together…

were overcome. This knowledge is essential in these days when such false teachers of all kinds will rise up and attempted to lead away the people. We need to know how we can resist their influence as a whole in the Church, but more im- portantly on a more personal level. I feel that the adversary prioritizes the destruction of the testimony and faith of the individual, thus we must fortify ourselves and learn of simi- lar instances from the past, so that we may be prepared for the future. …

The 2,000 Stripling Warriors were the children of the Anti-Nephi-Lehi’s. The people of the Anti-Nephi-Lehi’s wanted to help the Nephites defend against the Lamanites, but they had all promised God that they would never lift a weapon to kill a person again. The Nephites did not want them to break their promise to God so they told them to not come into battle with them. The youth of the Anti-Nephi-Lehi’s never made that promise to God so they prepared for war and chose their leader Helaman to lead…

There was anger and contention among the people towards the words of Nephi. There were some, such as the Judges, who cried out against Nephi and his teachings and sought to gather other individuals to do the same. There were also some that believed in the words of Nephi and understood that unless they repented that Nephi’s words would come to pass. People sometimes respond to words of truth by being angry because the truth shows that they are wrong and people hate being told that they are wrong.…

there are other volcanic hazards in the Cascade Mountain Range. I could find this information by doing research on the internet and by asking locals if they know of any volcanic hazards that many tourists may be unaware of. This could give me information that I could use to evaluate the risk for specific cities in the Cascade Mountain Range. My date and I discussed the information above and tied much of it with what we read in 3 Nephi chapter 8. My date was surprised with how many hazards…

Each one of us are not immune to feelings that come with we grieve. Grief or loss from either a death of a loved one or a loss of an individual can be painful for anyone. The emotions that come when someone is grieving range from sadness, anger, denial, fatigue, hopelessness and feeling overwhelmed, are normal because we cared so much for that person. I love this quote from Lorenzo Snow, “Every man and woman who serves the Lord, no matter how faithful they may be, have their dark hours; but if…

195). Made after the manner of heaven, the Christian Earth reflects that glory in a similar way to Narnia and Real Narnia. Calormen Calormen (and its capital, Tashbaan) is home to more of the Chronicle’s antagonists than any other place. “...[B]etween them stood the city of Tashbaan, one of the wonders of the world… every bit of that hill, up to the Tisroc’s palace and the great temple of Tash at the top, was completely covered with buildings” (The Horse and His Boy, 51). It is clearly the…

One of these points is in the Book of Mormon, 2 Nephi 2:11 where it says “For it must needs be that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither good nor bad”. There is opposition in all of us. There is the light of Christ that is within us and there is the temptations of the flesh. 2 Nephi continues, “Wherefore all things must needs be a compound in one”. In verse 12 he goes on to say that without this opposition in all…

Nephi Bigler Review The book I will be reviewing is Killing Mr. Griffin by Lois Duncan. It is a incredible well written and suspenseful novel. I would give it five out of five stars for how well the author shows the thoughts and emotions of the characters. This creates a world where you know exactly what they are going through. Killing Mr. Griffin is the conflict between five troubled teenagers and their attempts to cover up the murder of Mr. Griffin. After hiding the body of Griffin they go…

The Allegory of the Maple Syrup April 12, 2010 at 6:53am Throughout His ministry, Christ used stories and metaphor to teach the people the gospel. On the surface, the stories are just that-- stories. Some were allegories. An allegory is a Greek word. It means a figurative story full of meaning and metaphor, where each thing in the story represents something else. If you look deeper into the meanings and symbols, bright truths can be learned. No matter what level a person is on, we can all gain…
