You're right it doesn't. The Nephite nation was destroyed however due to the influence of Secret Combinations in their government. So, following President Benson's advice, Why did the Lord inspire Alma to include Alma 10:27 (following) in his record? What lesson can we learn to help us live in this day and age? Alma 10: 27 And now behold, I say unto you, that the foundation of the destruction of this people is beginning to be laid by the unrighteousness of your lawyers and your judges. -- Steven Montgomery [EMAIL PROTECTED] ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /// ZION LIST CHARTER: Please read it at /// /// http://www.zionsbest.com/charter.html /// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ==^^=============================================================== This email was sent to: archive@jab.org EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aaP9AU.bWix1n Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^^===============================================================
