Why was it so important to follow Nephi and not rebel against him?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Nephi, under the direction of the Spirit, had used sharpness with his brothers, which sharpness was the directness of the truth and the power of the word. The Spirit had mandated the strong language of rebuke” (Ogden and Skinner, Book of Mormon, 1:114).
