Helaman 8

(May 13, 2014)
The actions of the unrighteous followers of Gadianton, as described in this chapter, are so similar to the actions of the unrighteous today.  They take a man of God (Nephi in this chapter, the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve in modern times), and they attempt to whip up public opinion against them.  They use lofty rhetoric (respect for law then, tolerance now) even though their true motivation is corruption and evil (murder then, abortion and gay marriage now).  Until and unless those who follow the commandments of God and believe in His teachings stand up to those who serve Satan, our leaders will be left alone and the wickedness of the world may triumph.  Thus it stands as a duty to each of us to actively defend the faith.
