How important were the brass plates?

Thomas R. Valletta

“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).
