In this episode of the Proclaim Peace Podcast, hosts Jennifer Thomas and Patrick Mason are re-joined by professor David Pulsipher to explore the principles of peacemaking as taught in the Book of Mormon, with a special focus on two remarkable examples: Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, and the Anti-Nephi-Lehies. They discuss the significance of nonviolent peace builders throughout history, including figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and Gandhi, while emphasizing the unique lessons learned from the Anti-Nephi-Lehies' story.

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeBook of Mormon [ALMA 53-63] Insights“Preserved by His Marvelous Power”August 19 – August 25 2024WEEK 34: SUMMARY=================Lesson Summary:The second half of the war chapters are focused on reclaiming what has been lost. The Lamanites have invaded fortified cities. It will take mighty efforts of men mixed with the Lord's deliverance to get them back again. God will keep his promises of deliverance to the Anti-Nephi-Lehies and protect their 2000 sons. He'll endow them with power and capacity to change the course of Nephtite history and regain what was lost. Questions to Consider:Alma 53:2 | Do you think God prepared people like Lehi, Moroni, Helaman, Teancum, Antipus, etc. for this particular moment? Or do you think this particular moment makes these men? Have you felt a premortal connection in your callings or responsibilities? Alma 55 | What does this story teach us about God's approach to those who have been victimized? How does Elder Kearon's talk from Apr 2022 add to this idea? Do you see his invitation to go from “Victim to Survivor to Conqueror” in this story?Alma 54:20 | Where do you see this in our day? Are there those who claim power to do, seal, or stop things things that are entirely beyond their mortal capabilities?CHAPTERS=========00:00:13 INSIGHTS INTRODUCTION00:03:18 INSIGHTS CHAPTER SUMMARY00:08:31 SPARK 1: INVISIBLE ARMOR OF LIGHT00:24:50 SPARK 2: PLANTED PROMISES00:36:41 SPARK 3: POWER BY DEGREES00:47:45 QUESTIONS00:53:43 WRAP UPLINKS=====WEB: https://www.gather.meckmom.comINSTAGRAM: Instagram @meckmomlifePODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST DISCLAIMER=================================This podcast represents my own thoughts and opinions.

To Support and Suffer by Autumn Dickson One of the most well-known stories in The Book of Mormon is that of the stripling warriors. Though their story is replete with inspiring stories and principles, I want to actually discuss their fathers, namely the Lamanites converts who changed their name to the Anti-Nephi-Lehies. These Anti-Nephi-Lehies came to […] The post Come, Follow Me with FAIR – Alma 53–63 – Autumn Dickson appeared first on FAIR.
Today we look at the example of faith in the Anti Nephi Lehies and the example of forgiveness in the Nephites.
The Anti-Nephi-Lehies' decision to hide and bury their swords “as a testimony” of their repentance and commitment to never use them again showcases their deep conversion and willingness to sacrifice for their beliefs.If you'd like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

In this episode, we delve into the remarkable transformation of the Lamanites under the decree of their king, who declared protection for the missionaries. This decree allowed Ammon, Aaron, and their brethren to preach freely across the land, leading to the extensive conversion of thousands. The Lamanites, once fierce adversaries of the Nephites, embraced the teachings of the gospel and laid down their weapons of war. We explore the profound impact of this decree, the establishment of churches, and the consecration of priests and teachers throughout the land. The converted Lamanites, now called Anti-Nephi-Lehies, became industrious and friendly with the Nephites, forging new bonds and opening correspondence with them. The episode highlights the astonishing success of the missionaries and the unwavering faith of the converted Lamanites, who chose to suffer death rather than commit sin. As tensions rose, the unconverted Lamanites, stirred up by apostate Nephites, rebelled against their king and waged war against the Anti-Nephi-Lehies. Despite the violence, the faith and love of the converted Lamanites shone through, leading to further conversions even in the face of persecution. Join us as we recount this extraordinary period of faith, transformation, and the ultimate triumph of the gospel among the Lamanites, culminating in their migration to the land of Jershon and the establishment of a new, righteous community.
Send us a Text Message.From Come Follow Me: "Do you sometimes wonder whether people can really change? Maybe you worry about whether you can overcome poor choices you've made or bad habits you've developed, or you may have similar worries about loved ones. If so, the story of the Anti-Nephi-Lehies can help you. These people were the sworn enemies of the Nephites. When the sons of Mosiah decided to preach the gospel to them, the Nephites “laughed [them] to scorn.” Killing the Lamanites seemed like a more plausible solution than converting them. (See Alma 26:23–25.) But the Lamanites did change—through the converting power of Jesus Christ. They were once known as “a hardened and a ferocious people” (Alma 17:14), but they became “distinguished for their zeal towards God” (Alma 27:27). In fact, they “never did fall away” (Alma 23:6). Maybe you have some thoughts or actions to change or “weapons of … rebellion” to lay down (Alma 23:7). Or maybe you just need to be a little more zealous toward God. No matter what changes you need, Alma 23–29 can give you hope that through the atoning power of Jesus Christ, long-lasting change is possible."Support the Show:www.patreon.com/SaintsintheSouth(The thoughts, ideas, and beliefs we express on this channel do not officially represent The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Alma 52 - Helaman 8 The Army of Helaman Forms. Lamanites had begun to take possession of some of the Nephite lands. The Nephites needed help - but the Anti-Nephi-Lehies had made the covenant to not fight anymore. In verse 16 we see the beginning of the formation of the Army of Helaman. Description of them in verses 20-23 The Webster 1850 Dictionary defines “Stripling” as: A youth in the state of adolescence, or just passing from boyhood to manhood; a lad. These are going to be like the teachers in your ward. Maybe some priests. That's who these young men were. 2,000 Stripling Warriors. 56:17, 19, 44-48, 54-56 2,060 – 57: 5-6, 20-21, 25-27 58:11-12, 33 + 37 Moroni's Epistle to Pahoran Chapter 59: Moroni is pretty upset with Pahoran. He isn't sure why things aren't being sent, and why they aren't getting the help that they were anticipating. He writes a kind - yet firm, letter to Pahoran. Chapter 60: Pahoran writes back and explains that the people have come against the government and are trying to overthrow everything. Moroni leaves and comes to help Pahoran with the situation. They were successful and they were able to get things under control again. Nephites vs Lamanites The Book of Helaman is actually the Son of Helaman. So he begins this book. We learn immediately about the darkness that is happening all around. One of my favorite verses is Helaman 3:23. They had been going through this period where the Nephites were extremely righteous and prospering. Then by Helaman 4 the Nephites are now weak like the Lamanites when they are fighting. Then they repent and do well for a while, then cycle back down. It's constant up and down through a lot of these chapters. Nephi + Lehi (The Son's of Helaman) Helaman (the son of Helaman) gets old, and gives the land and everything over to his sons Nephi and Lehi. They are great missionaries. Chapter 5 verses 6-7 – family history. Then verses 9 - 12 Nephi and Lehi go and teach. They are reject and everyone is very unhappy with them. Verse 23, 24, 26. Voice comes 3 times. 31, 32, 33 Some repent and are encircled with fire along with Nephi and Lehi. Nephi and Lehi have done great missionary work and the Nephites and Lamaites are living and working side by side. Exceedingly Wicked Three years into that situation - they became exceedingly wicked. Secret murderers and robbing and other things begin to take hold of these people. Chapter 6, verses 21, 27, 28, 29 - all of it is Satan. Chapter 6:34, 36 Chapter 7 and 8 are the beginning of the Lamaintes being the righteous people. Verse 7 - how many times do we wish that? However, Nephi went through a LOT of really hard things. Sometimes the grass seems greener - but it's important to remember it's not. Prophets Called by God Chapter 8: 10-20 The importance of prophets who are led by God.

The Anti-Nephi-Lehies have some tough decisions to make about burying their weapons of war and whether or not one-arm jokes are in good taste.
Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people? Today we explore the massacre of the Anti-Nephi-Lehies and how the actions, or inactions, of God may be relevant to our own lives.Alma 24,27Moses 1:39https://onoma.lib.byu.edu/index.php/ANTI-NEPHI-LEHI
We all do things that hurt those around us. The Anti-Nephi-Lehies in the Book of Mormon buried their weapons of war to ensure they never hurt another soul again. Today we discuss our own weapons of war, and consider the need to bury them as a testimony of our faith and repentance.
The Lord commands Ammon to lead the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi to safety—Upon meeting Alma, Ammon’s joy exhausts his strength—The Nephites give the Anti-Nephi-Lehies the land of Jershon—They are called the people of Ammon. About 90–77 B.C.
While the sins that Ammon and the Anti-Nephi-Lehies had to overcome were likely quite different from anything in your life, we all rely on the mercy of God. What do you find in Alma 24:7–19 and 26:17–22 that helps you understand His mercy? As you read, you might think about these things: the ways you have been invited to repent, your experiences with repentance, how you have tried to avoid sinning again, and the blessings that have come to you through repentance. When you read the verses in this way, what do you learn about God's mercy in your life?

Join us as we continue our study of the conclusion of the missionary efforts of the sons of Mosiah. We reflect on the mighty change that has taken place in the hearts of the Anti-Nephi-Lehies and we consider what we can learn from their conduct for the rest of their lives. Neal A Maxwell: “Total morality must concern itself both with man’s relationships with God and with his fellowmen. In Alma 27:27 we read of Church members of another age who ‘ . . .were also distinguished for their zeal towards God, and also towards men; for they were perfectly honest and upright in all things. . . ‘ These members looked upon the shedding of blood with ‘the greatest abhorrence,’ but they did not look upon death ‘with any degree of terror’ because of their ‘views of Christ and the resurrection.’ The gentleness and integrity that are borne of the perspective of the gospel are truly impressive when one sees them in others. In this fragment of history we see an impressive statement about an entire group who bore up under persecution in a time of tribulation without losing their love of God and man”

After the Anti-Nephi-Lehies were converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ, the buried their weapons of war and covenanted to never shed blood again. Shortly thereafter, they are attacked by their unconverted brethren, and allow themselves to be slain rather than fight back. Because of this moving and courageous act, some have called the Anti-Nephi-Lehies "pacifists," but various details in their story illustrate that this is not entirely accurate. Rather than a principled renunciation of war, it seems the Anti-Nephi-Lehies were renouncing their past participation in a truly murderous and blood-thirsty culture. Nonetheless, the people of Ammon remain an enduring example of the power of the gospel to bring peace and overcome violence. Read at bit.ly/knowhy567

Elder David A Bednar: “To set aside cherished ‘weapons of rebellion’ such as selfishness, pride, and disobedience requires more than merely believing and knowing. Conviction, humility, repentance, and submissiveness precede the abandonment of our weapons of rebellion. Do you and I still possess weapons of rebellion that keep us from becoming converted unto the Lord? If so, then we need to repent now”
This week, we talk about making the atonement and covenants personal as we reflect on the Anti-Nephi-Lehies' covenant to bury their weapons of war and the Nephites' covenant to protect their most vulnerable communities.

When you try to change a habit or repent, how deep do you need to bury your "sword"? The Anti-Nephi-Lehies show us the benefit of burying our swords as deep down as we can!

This is a story about the Lamanites who learned about Jesus and were baptized. We told you how happy they were. They woke up each morning, jumped out of bed and said, “what a beautiful day. I am so excited.” And at the end of the day, they knelt on their knees and spoke to God. “God,” they said. “That was a really good day. You made the sun perfectly bright. And while it was hot, there was a breeze. And it cooled me down. And so we played and worked and we are now very tired.” And after their prayers, they fell asleep without even complaining or asking for another cup of water because they were content already. But that was about to change because they were living next to a bunch of Lamanites who did not like them. Listen on for the full story of the Anti-Nephi-Lehies.
Religious freedom is proclaimed—The Lamanites in seven lands and cities are converted—They call themselves Anti-Nephi-Lehies and are freed from the curse—The Amalekites and the Amulonites reject the truth. About 90–77 B.C.
As the Anti-Nephi-Lehies bury their weapons, the Third Hour Podcast discusses the natural fears that come with welcoming the stranger.
The Lamanites taught by the sons of Mosiah who have converted to the Lord are persecuted and driven out of their lands. They change their name to the "Anti-Nephi-Lehies and bury their weapons of war then escape to the land of Jershon where the Nephites protect them from Lamanite attackers.

The converted Lamanites give themselves a new name and bury their weapons of war so that they won’t be tempted to return to their previous sins. By so doing, they demonstrate their commitment to God and covenant that they have moved on from their prior lives, in much the same way that we do when we are buried at baptism. Various wars ensue between the Nephites and the Lamanites, and in the end the Anti-Nephi-Lehies escape to the protection of the Nephites. In chapter 26 Ammon boasts of his great joy from being an instrument in the Lords’ hands in saving many, while in chapter 29 Alma tries to keep his sorrow in check and stay grateful despite his limitations as a missionary. Both are important perspectives. In addition to the covered chapters, this lesson also draws from (1) Elder Bednar’s October 2012 talk “Converted Unto the Lord,” (2) 2 Nephi 25:23, (3) Elder Bednar’s April 2009 talk “Honorably Hold a Name and Standing,” and (4) Elder Uchtdorf’s April 2014 talk “Grateful in Any Circumstances.”

The Interview: For this episode of the Latter-day Saint Perspectives Podcast, Laura Harris Hales interviews BYU–Idaho professor David Pulsipher about some of the subtle but consequential lessons regarding conflict, violence, and peace found in the Book of Mormon. Steeped in a culture of violent films and video games, and surrounded with visual images of muscular Book of Mormon warriors, we can easily miss important patterns of conflict in the scriptural narrative. For example, while the text contains multiple examples of defending faith and family with armies and military strategies, it also contains numerous examples of successful nonviolent strategies that are usually depicted as even more effective than violence. The Nephites, for example, believed that God would protect them from their enemies in at least two ways—he would either “warn them to flee, or to prepare for war, according to their danger” (Alma 48:15). If we carefully read the text to find examples of either of these warnings, we may be surprised to discover that God frequently warns them to flee, but there seem to be no examples of warning them to prepare for war before an attack has begun. God does help them after a war has already started, but if he has a chance to weigh in ahead of time, God seems to prefer fleeing to fighting. Those who choose to fight a justified battle in self-defense are often helped in their efforts (if they are generally righteous, of course) but these divinely aided efforts achieve only temporary success, lasting at best for only a few years before another attack occurs. Most violence, even divinely assisted violence, sows the seeds for future violence. But more unconventional approaches—such as unarmed yet confrontational compassion—usually achieve much more lasting success. The sons of Mosiah, for example, led a loving invasion into the lands of the Lamanites. Years later, the brothers Nephi and Lehi made a weaponless incursion deep into Lamanite territory. In both instances, significant portions of the Lamanite community became permanently reconciled with their former enemies, the Nephites. In the latter case, the once aggressive Lamanites even voluntarily returned the Nephite lands that they had previously seized—a remarkable testimony to the power of confrontational and assertive compassion. The Book of Mormon also repeatedly depicts how assertive compassion can be remarkably effective in protecting communities during aggressive invasions. The most famous example of this is the Anti-Nephi-Lehies, who ultimate stopped a brutal attack with only the weapons of love and prayer (and with fewer deaths than most violent defensive efforts described in the narrative). But there are other examples of this as well, including Limhi’s people pacifying an attacking Lamanite army because they went out to meet them without any weapons. Alma’s people also successfully preserved their lives by going out to meet and reason with yet another invading army. Ultimately, one of the Book of Mormon’s most profound messages regarding conflict is that assertive love is not simply an effective defensive strategy, it also has the capacity to redeem both victims and aggressors. This not only happens with the enemies of the Anti-Nephi-Lehies but also with the brutal opponents of Nephi and Lehi, and even with many of the Gadianton robbers. Over and over again, the Book of Mormon demonstrates that love really is the most powerful force in the universe, destroying whole armies of enemies by transforming them into friends.

The Book of Mormon contains many accounts of tragic suffering and martyrdom. Abinadi was tortured by fire. Over a thousand Anti-Nephi-Lehies were killed by the sword when they refused to fight back. And Alma and Amulek had to witness women and children being cast into a fire. The Book of Mormon helps us understand why God allows such terrible things happen. Read at bit.ly/know351
As the LDS Sunday School Gospel Doctrine curriculum turns in coming weeks to the later chapters of the book of Alma and the stories there about Captain Moroni, the Stripling Warriors, along with various wars and war strategies, assassinations, and other accounts of events that unfolded between the Nephites and Lamanites, we are pleased to host this discussion that aims to assist with in-class experiences. Joining Mormon Matters host Dan Wotherspoon are wonderful scholars and thinkers, and also current Gospel Doctrine teachers, Patrick Mason and David Pulsipher as they examine various ways to better understand some the messages about war within the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants. How can we separate what is merely “descriptive” of events that took place within the history of the Book of Mormon peoples from that which are “prescriptive” attitudes and actions that God endorses? How might understanding Mormon as the primary narrator of these sections give us a better sense of why certain things are present? In what ways might Mormon's accounting for the events that take place (including accounts of the way the Anti-Nephi-Lehies approached those who sought to destroy them) also be evidence of his own journey that led by the time of his death to different attitudes toward war? How should we as Latter-day Saints engage teachings about war and when violence is justified against one’s enemies found in D&C 98 in concert with the messages found within these sections of the Book of Mormon? And there's so much more! This is a fantastic discussion with great richness and wisdom for approaching these scriptures and setting up conditions for possibly very rich discussions within our upcoming Sunday School classes!
Alma 23-29—The sons of Mosiah teach thousands of Lamanites and witness great changes in heart, becoming the Anti-Nephi-Lehies. They put down their weapons, sacrificing themselves rather than shed blood. How do we become truly converted? What is implied by “truly” vs plain ol’ “conversion”? Bill Doolittle is back!
