The War Chapters: Day I Alma 43-45

The War Chapters Alma War “There is [a] war that has gone on since before the world was created and which is likely to continue for a long time yet to come. … “That war … is the war between truth and error, between agency and compulsion, between the followers of Christ and those who have denied Him. His enemies have used every stratagem in that conflict. … “… It is as it was in the beginning. … The victims who fall are as precious as those who have fallen in the past. It is an ongoing battle. … “The war goes on. … It is waged in our own lives, day in and day out, in our homes, in our work, in our school associations; it is waged over questions of love and respect, of loyalty and fidelity, of obedience and integrity. We are all involved in it. … We are winning, and the future never looked brighter” (President Hinckley, “The War We Are Winning,”Ensign, Nov. 1986, 42, 44–45).

“The Church is and must be against war. The Church itself cannot wage war... It cannot regard war as a righteous means of settling international disputes; these should and could be settled—the nations agreeing—by peaceful negotiation and adjustment. “But the Church membership are citizens or subjects of sovereignties over which the Church has no control…When, therefore, constitutional law calls the manhood of the Church into the armed service of any country to which they owe allegiance, their highest civic duty requires that they meet that call. “If, harkening to that call and obeying those in command over them, they shall take the lives of those who fight against them, that will not make of them murderers, nor subject them to the penalty that God has prescribed for those who kill.” (Conference, Apr. 1942, 94).

President Boyd K. Packer,: “Youth today are being raised in enemy territory with a declining standard of morality. But as a servant of the Lord, I promise that you will be protected and shielded from the attacks of the adversary if you will heed the promptings that come from the Holy Spirit. “Dress modestly; talk reverently; listen to uplifting music. Avoid all immorality and personally degrading practices. Take hold of your life and order yourself to be valiant. Because we depend so much on you, you will be remarkably blessed. You are never far from the sight of your loving Heavenly Father” (Nov. 2011). The War Chapters Alma 43-63
