This may be the most violent "Bible bash" in scriptural history. Gideon was no stranger to conflict. He seemed to rise to the occasion whenever faced with adversity. He took it upon himself to rid his people of the wicked king Noah (Mosiah 19:4). He was the first to offer advice to Limhi about who had kidnapped the 24 daughters of the Lamanites and how to escape from bondage (Mosiah 20:17; 22:3-8). If ever there was a threat to the welfare of the people, Gideon was the first to face it. Accordingly, Gideon confronted Nehor because his doctrine represented a threat to the welfare of the people. His arguments were so filled with the Spirit that it made Nehor angry, for the guilty taketh the truth to be hard, for it cutteth them to the very center (1 Nephi 16:2). Nehor, having lost the "Bible bash," took it upon himself to kill the winner.
