Ep. 203: Alma 30:22-42 Silly, Foolish, Frenzied Mind

My Scripture Streak

Summary

In this episode, Jeffery continues the story of Korihor, who preaches to the people that they are not responsible for their actions and can do whatever they want. Korihor is brought before the high priest and chief judge, where he denies the existence of God and mocks the people for their beliefs. The high priest and chief judge do not engage in a debate with Korihor but instead bind him and send him to be brought before Alma. Jeffery explores the arguments made by Korihor and discusses the importance of discernment and the role of ordinances in binding us to the Savior.

Takeaways

• The ordinances and performances of the gospel bind us to the Savior and give us power.
• Leaders in the Church do not seek personal gain but labor for the joy of their brethren.
• We should seek personal revelation and confirmation from the Holy Ghost in our decision-making.
• There is no evidence to support the denial of God or the absence of Christ.
