Questions
- vv. 38-39: Why doesn't Amulek do a more careful job of explaining the relationship between God the Father and his son Jesus Christ?
- v. 37: This verse speaks of something that God cannot do. How does it explain that limitation on his power?
- vv. 38ff.: Notice how Zeezrom’s one question brings a long, detailed response from Amulek? Why does Amulek answer as he does? Why not give Zeezrom a shorter, more simple answer?
- vv. 38-39: What does it mean to say that Christ is the Eternal Father? What does it mean to say that he is the beginning and the end? What does it mean to say that he is the first and the last? Given our understanding of the eternal nature of spirits, how do you make sense of these statements about God?
- V. 39: Why does the exact same phrase, "the beginning and the end, the first and the last" show up here and in Rev 22:13?
