Who is the remnant of the nephites?
According to the Book of Mormon, all the Nephites were destroyed except for the Three Nephites, who were allowed to tarry as John the Beloved in the service of Jesus Christ. Those who remain from the Book of Mormon peoples are the Lamanites, who it is believed have been mixed in with the indiginous people of North and South America.
What is a Morman nephite?
The Book of Mormon centers around two groups of people, the Nephites and the Lamanites. These groups descended from the sons of Lehi, an ancient prophet who traveled from Jerusalem to the Americas in about 600 BC. The Lamanites are generally wicked, while the Nephites are generally righteous. The Nephites followed the Law of Moses and had prophets which wrote what is now the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon describes Jesus Christ visiting the Nephites shortly after His Ascension. A few hundred years later, the Nephites became prideful and were completely wiped out by the Lamanites in battle. Check out the "Related Links" to learn more about Nephites.
What is the total number of Nephites who wrote the book of Mormon?
Well, it's hard to say exactly because much of the Book of Mormon was abridged by Mormon and Moroni and they did not list the original authors. The only part of the Book of Mormon not written by Nephites is the Book of Ether, which was abridged by Ether, a Jaredite, then translated by Mosiah and abridged again by Moroni, both Nephites. Here's a breakdown of the Nephites who we know wrote in the Book of Mormon and whether or not we read their direct words or if it is an abridgement by Mormon or Moroni: Abinadom - Direct writings in Omni 1:10-11 Alma the Elder - Wrote the teachings of Abinadi in Mosiah 12-17, King Limhi in Mosiah 18-22, his own writing in Mosiah 23 and 24. All abridged by Mormon. Alma the Younger - Writings abridged by Mormon in the Book of Alma Amaleki - Direct writings in Omni 1:12-30 Amaron - Direct writings in Omni 1: 4-8 Amos I - Writings abridged by Mormon in 4 Nephi Amos II - Writings abridged by Mormon in 4 Nephi 1:21-46 Benjamin - Writings abridged by Mormon in Book of Mosiah Chemish - Direct writings in Omni 1:9 Enos - Direct writings in the Book of Enos Helaman I - Writings abridged by Mormon in Alma Chapters 31 - 63 Helaman II - Writings abridged by Mormon in first part of Book of Helaman Jacob - Direct writings in the Book of Jacob Jarom - Direct writings in the Book of Jarom Mormon - Direct writing in Words of Mormon and Book of Mormon. Abridged Mosiah, Alma, Helaman, 3 and 4 Nephi Moroni - Direct writing in Book of Moroni, abridged Ether. Mosiah - Writings abridged by Mormon in Mosiah Nephi (son of Lehi) - Direct writings in 1 and 2 Nephi (also quotes Lehi, Isaiah, and other prophets) Nephi (son of Helaman) - Writings abridged by Mormon in the later part of Book of Helaman Nephi (grandson of Helaman) - Writings abridged by Mormon in 3 Nephi Omni - Direct writings in Omni 1:1-3 Shiblon - Writings abridged by Mormon in Alma 31 - 38 Zeniff - Writings abridged by Mormon in Mosiah 9-11 So, we have the direct writings of 11 Nephites and the abridged writings of 12 more Nephites. That's 23 Nephites (that we know of) that wrote the Book of Mormon.

Is the three nephites the prince of peace one?
No. The Prince of Peace is Jesus Christ. The Three Nephites were three disciples of Christ in the Book of Mormon who asked Jesus Christ to allow them to have the same blessing as John the Beloved. Jesus Christ blessed them that they would "never taste of death; but live to behold all the doings of the Father unto the children of men... and to be changed in the twinkling of an eye from mortality to immortality." The reference to them is in 3 Nephi chapter 28. Many Mormon urban legends involve the Three Nephites coming to the rescue or protecting people who are in danger.

Why did the niphites get killed?
In which part of the Book of Mormon? Typically the Nephites were killed in battle against the Lamanites if the had been wqicked, because God did not protect them. We don't know what happened to the last Nephite... he buried the plates before he died.
What is the evidence in archeology for the Nephites and Jaredites in New York?
The Book of Mormon and the Mormon Church have never claimed that the Nephites or the Jaredites lived in New York, so there has been little or no archeology research done to prove if they did. At most, New York was briefly visited by Moroni, the last living Nephite, who buried the plates in the Hill Cumorah. It is generally believed that he travelled there alone or with a very small group from a region that is now in or near Mexico. Since it was just a very small group for a very brief period of time, there would be no archelological evidence for them being there.
Who were Mormon and Moroni?
According to the Book of Mormon, Mormon and Moroni were the last two prophets and historians on the American continent before the Great Apostasy. The Book of Mormon is called such because Mormon abridged the writings of the prophets before him that were on the American continent.AnswerMormon and Moroni were two inhabitants of the ancient Americas. Mormon was Moroni's father and was responsible for abridging the record of his people, which spanned a period of about 1000 years. This book was translated by Joseph Smith, through the power and direction of God, and published in 1830. Moroni, Mormon's son, was the last living, righteous person of his people, the Nephites. He lived to see the complete destruction of his people by their enemies, the Lamanites. He was entrusted with the ancient record which his father, Mormon, had abridged. He added to the record and finally buried it in the Hill Cumorah in about 421 A.D. Moroni appeared as a resurrected being to Joseph Smith and led him to the record, which Joseph was instructed to translate in the process of restoring the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ to the earth.

Who was gidgidoni?
According to the Book of Mormon, Gidgiddoni was a prophet and the commander of the Nephite armies in the war between the Nephites and the Gadianton Robbers. He was appointed in about AD 16 by Lachoneus to lead the armies because he had the spirit of revelation and of prophecy. He demonstrated his wisdom by refusing the people's desire to wage offensive war against the robbers. (3 Nephi 3:17-21) Gidgiddoni at their head, the Nephites were able to defeat the robbers and end the life of Giddianhi in AD 19. The robbers tried again in AD 21, with a man named Zemnarihah leading them, but Gidgiddoni knew of the robbers' weaknesses and exploited them, making it impossible for them to retreat, and the Nephites took as many prisoners as would surrender, while putting the rest to death. Zemnarihah, however, was hanged. (3 Nephi 4:13-14, 23-26) Finally, after the destruction of the band of robbers, Lachoneus and Gidgiddoni brought peace to the Nephites. (3 Nephi 6:6) Gidgiddoni is not mentioned further in the scripture after this.
