Why lamen and lemuel wanted Levi dead:
It helps if you read 1 nephi 1 and helaman 8
Overall he was calling them to repentance, teaching of Jehovah the ore
mortal Christ. Also If you think about it when he taught this the
spirit was there. They felt it and were probably scared.
1ne1:19. Testified of Christ
Hel8:22. Taught of re coming of Christ they taught of a certain messiah.
The Jews thought the messiah was going to be a king a
ruler, also did not believe he would be the son of god.
Jer11:9-10. Talks of a conspiracy. Which means unlawful confederacy or
traitor (this is talking about the prophets of the time. The law of
Moses states that if anyone else came with another testimony of Christ
they should be stoned. That is why all the prophets were always
stoned.)
Jer2: and ezek22:25. The elders conspired the people. They believed in
Christ but didn't believe in the right Christ. The conseption of
Christ had been changed. (lehi tried to teach about the Christ they
didn't believe in. But as you know was really the rift and true
Christ.)
Deut13:1-11. Because they changed it (Jesus Christ ((the messiah)))
the law said to kill anyone who said otherwise.
So what is a prophet? Did you know that you are a prophetess?!
Rev19:10. The spirit of prophecy is what it takes. Bit look further
into it. The testimony of Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophecy!
Meaning that "prophet" is not a priestood office! Now a seer and a
revelator is. But a prophet is not.
So a prophet is someone with a testimony of the "true" Christ.
1ne1:4-11. The calling of Levi to be a prophet
Levi is a convert to the true Christ.
1ne2:16. The family of Levi starts teaching each other of the new
enlightenment they have learned.
1ne10:2-7. Very introductory, Levi introduced Christ the true messiah
Dad (lehi) testifies, nephi prays (sees vision) become prophet.
That's all I have right now I will update further as study continues
