1 Nephi 11 (Pride of the World)

At the end of this chapter Nephi is shown the fall of the great and spacious building. The angel tells Nephi that this is the fate of all who seek to destroy the 12 apostles of the Lord. This should not make us happy to see the destruction of those who oppose our views. We should be saddened that we couldn't teach them the message of happiness.

As we heard in general conference this past weekend. We should not contend with those who oppose our church and our message. We should be humble and meek and prayerful for those who don't agree with us. The best defense to use is a simple testimony of the Savior.
