Alma 46:19-41

I wonder what made some of the Amalekiahites willing to die for their cause, when they had the chance to be spared and free. What makes us so stuck in wrong that we can’t choose the right any more? Is that what it really is to be too late to repent? We are too mired in our sins to see them for what they are?

I wonder if hundreds of years from now someone writing the history of the church in our day would note times of peace and conflict. Four years of peace in the church seems like so little, but I suppose if there were no dissensions in that time, and everyone was getting along, that would feel like a lot. I wonder if the trouble was the same then as it is now, partly a church run by imperfect people, and partly imperfect people belonging to the church.

I wonder why it was important at this particular point in history to point out that those who died with faith died happy.
