Moroni 9 Thought Questions
- Moroni 9 begins with Mormon’s tender expression of love for his son Moroni, but that sentiment is soon overwhelmed. How bad was their situation?
- What factors might have contributed to the complete collapse of military order, martial law, and diplomatic communication at this time?
- The question of cannibalism is surely going to come up in Moroni 9:8–10. Is there evidence that this type of behavior was practiced anciently? If so, why would people do this? And why would Moroni include his father’s letter with such gruesome details?
- Do genocides really happen? If so, why? And why does the Book of Mormon tell us about this one?
