“King Benjamin’s recognition of the importance of the plates of brass was based upon the degenerate condition of the Mulekites when his father discovered them … (Omni 1:17). The positive influence of the plates of brass was taught by Nephi. … Although ‘the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto [you], by the power of the Holy Ghost’ (1 Nephi 10:19), if one will ‘feast upon the words of Christ [the scriptures] will tell you all things what ye should do’” (Nyman, These Records Are True, 191).
