I will Go and do
The word of God is a great worth in my life. Nephi had to work to gain his testimony. God prepares a way for me to do things. His most powerful way to to keep the commandments of Jesus.
Then the have a cool full page picture of Nephi holding the ready to chop off someone head. This is in the kids part of text. With a tile nearby that says The Holy Ghost will lead me as i seek to do the Lord's will. I can see some conflicting messages here. Again all sorts of questions to answer but no way to compare your answers to the truth.
There was a little bit about murmuring and complaining but no real explanation what it means.
This chapter is even lighter than milk!!!!! More like colored water.

What the lesson should be is----When the Holy Ghost says God wants you to decapitate someone it's time to up your meds, boys and girls.

All I know is if you chop someone's head off and take their stuff you better be fleeing to another continent, stat! They call that "doing a Nephi".

And Mormons wonder where people like the Daybells get their ideas.

I spent many years teaching Primary and I remember a lesson about missionary work in one of the manuals for kids who were about four or five. It included the story of Ammon and cutting off the arms of robbers. Yep, extreme violence is a great missionary tool, kids.

Exactly!

Add a page showing Abraham ready to kill his kid because...god.

People should not wonder why someone harms their kid or does dumb stuff because they think God was down with it. Many of them simply took what they learned from church seriously.

Lori and Chad were persecuted for doing the Lord's work, just like Nephi!

It takes real faith to kill for your imaginary friends.

There are probably many scary
people out there whose answers
to "What's ghawd's job and how
does he carry it out?" would
horrify us.

What kind of person reads the
bible and thinks to himself,
"Now that's the way to rule!"

I hope it at least included the "do not try this at home" warning.

To be fair at least Laban just toppled over. Shiz practically got up and walked around.

You know in an odd way this will pique the interest of teenage boys. They love that kind of thing.

If only they had stories like Jael and Sisera, or Ehud and Eglon as entire primary lessons.
