Heroic Sacrifice/Oral Tradition: Difference between revisions

* [[The Book of Mormon (literature)|The Book of Mormon]], one of the four parts to LDS ("[[Mormonism|Mormons]]") scripture, tells the story of a prophet named [[Badass Preacher|Abinadi]]. King Noah was wicked: he and his [[Church of Evil|priests]] committed murder and whoredoms and reveled in his riches, among other things, so Abinadi went to King Noah and told him that what he was doing is wrong, and that he needed to set things straight and repent. King Noah and his priests didn't listen and had Abinadi thrown out after warning him not to return. Rather than giving up and leaving, Abinadi returns in disguise and tells him his message again. The wicked priests try to kill him, but find that they cannot, and Abinadi says that they cannot harm him until he has finished saying what he came to say. After he finished, they burnt him to death, [[Dying Moment of Awesome|and while he is burnt to death, he prophecies that King Noah will also be burnt]], which comes true. His death wasn't for naught, however, because one of the king's priests, Alma, listened to what Abinadi had to say, and then ran away from King Noah and repented. He alone helped literally thousands of people to find God, and many of the people who were righteous because of him converted thousands more.
