“I Had Murdered Many of His Children”
This is graphic language. As one who has been born of God, as one who senses the significance of this mortal sphere and thus the worth of souls, Alma knows how frighteningly awful it is to lead souls astray from the path of peace. “None but fools will trifle with the souls of men,” Joseph Smith said (Teachings, p. 137). “Fear not them which kill the body,” Jesus taught, “but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10:28).
