3.9.18

Alma 9:16


Says, “For there are many promises which are extended to the Lamanites; for it is because of the traditions of their fathers that caused them to remain in their state of ignorance; therefore the Lord will be merciful unto them and prolong their existence in the land.”

Living in a state or world of collusion from the beginning (or meaning that you were born into a world where people are already living collusively) means that there was no genesis of a pattern of self-betrayal--the pattern had already begun when they were introduced into it--they never knew anything different than that sinful world and are only guilty of not heeding the word of God when they are given the chance to repent and stop that cycle!

Now, think of those you know now--are they active members of the church or were they baptized but are less-active because of the neglect of the active?  Don't they fall in the same boat as these Laminates?
