Moroni saw our day. He knew what would be going on when the Book of Mormon would be published for the whole world.

And he asks an interesting question of those of us living in the latter-days.

134 Episode – What Forgiveness is Worth

Scripture References
133 Episode – Letter of Lies
Why were the words of bad guys written down word for word on gold plates? Why did Mormon choose to use precious space for it? Here’s one idea.
