Alma 48

(April 24, 2015)
                The spirit of contention is a dangerous thing.  I do not see an example of this spirit of contention being used for positive purposes, and it is quite obvious why that is.  The Lord functions through a different mechanism when He is doing His work.

                I do not see how a hypothetical righteous Amalikiah could have used contention to achieve a good purpose.  Contention is one of those things that ultimately poisons everything that it touches – even those times when the original motivation might be pure, the ultimate fruit from that poisoned tree is deadly.
