Ephesians 6: 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Faith to Desire to See
After Nephi was told of Lehi's vision of the Tree of Life, he expressed a desire to see the vision himself. I don't think that this implies that he doubted his father at all. This wasn't Nephi asking to see evidence that Lehi had truly seen a vision. Rather, I think it was more that he wanted to dig into the vision himself. We do something similar when we check out a book or movie someone tells us about, not because we doubt their report that it was a good book or movie, but because we believe them. I think that Nephi wanted to see the vision for himself because he believed that it was a vision that was worth seeing. Wanting to see the vision for himself wasn't an admission of doubt. It was an expression of faith.
