pam Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Enos 1Â*14 For at the present our strugglings were vain in restoring them to the true faith. And they swore in their wrath that, if it were possible, they would destroy our records and us, and also all the traditions of our fathers.Quote for DiscussionDestroy our recordsWe might think that destroying the Nephites would have been enough. Why would they be concerned about destroying the Nephite records too? Perhaps it was because the Lamanites remembered Nephi’s and Lehi’s prophecies that those records would be a powerful tool in converting Lamanites to the Nephite beliefs. If so, they would want to eliminate even that possibility by wiping out the books.Noel B. Reynolds, Rediscovering The Book of Mormon, ed,. By John L. Sorenson and Melvin J.
