Moroni 9:3-4 -- Do ye suppose that ye could be happy to dwell with that holy Being?

Then will ye longer deny the Christ, or can ye behold the Lamb of God? Do ye suppose that ye shall dwell with him under a consciousness of your guilt? Do ye suppose that ye could be happy to dwell with that holy Being, when your souls are racked with a consciousness of guilt that ye have ever abused his laws?

Behold, I say unto you that ye would be more miserable to dwell with a holy and just God, under a consciousness of your filthiness before him, than ye would to dwell with the damned souls in hell.

This foregoing passage is one of many examples of exceptionally plain, even shockingly plain doctrinal exposition in the Book of Mormon, in keeping with the commandment given to its founding prophet, Nephi, that the standard of writing ever be plain talk, as in 1 Ne 19:3, and again in 2 Ne 33:6

 

I, Nephi, received a commandment that the ministry and the prophecies, the more plain and precious parts of them, should be written upon these plates …

 

I glory in plainness; I glory in truth; I glory in my Jesus, for he hath redeemed my soul from hell.

Suffice it to say that one will look in vain for more clearly outlined doctrine on the direct psychological implications of the effects of our choices on our eternal happiness.
