"And thus Laman and Lemuel, being the eldest, did murmur against their father. And they did murmur because they knew not the dealings of that God who had created them."
Murmuring is derived from an ignorance of "God's dealings" with His children. This is true in that as one better understands the Atonement and the Plan so too does one's desire to follow it increase. The irony of the naiveness displayed by Nephi's brothers in relation to their maker shows how it is ultimately within each person whether he or she will pursue that divine paternal relationship.
