Why were Nehor’s doctrines so popular among the Nephites?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Nehor’s words appealed to many of the people; they were easy words because they required neither obedience nor sacrifice. As we face many decisions in life, the easy and popular messages of the world will seem appealing. But when these worldly messages contradict gospel teachings and the still, small voice of the Spirit, we can be 100 percent confident they are wrong. Still, it will take great courage to choose the right” (Perry, Living with Enthusiasm, 108–9).
