Questions
[edit]
Verse 16
- What is the connection between repenting and knowing of the plan of redemption?
- How do the sons of Mosiah "bring" the Lamanites to repentance and to know of the plan of redemption? How much of this process depends on the missionaries and how much depends on those being taught?
[edit]
Verse 17
- Why do they go alone, rather than two by two?
- What does it mean that they went "according to the word and power of God"?
[edit]
Verse 18
- What does it mean that Ammon was "chief among them"? Does that mean he was the oldest? If he was the oldest, why wasn't he the preferred heir (Mosiah 29:2)?
- Why is Ammon the one blessing and teaching the other sons?
- What does it mean that Ammon "imparted the word of God unto" the other sons?
[edit]
Verse 19
- Why did Ammon chose to go to the land of Ishmael? Did he know where he was going?
- Was this a conscious attempt to reach the descendants of the daughters of Lehi and the sons of Ishmael? What promises were given to their descendants (2 Ne 4:10)? As descendants of Ephraim, were they given separate blessings than the children of Lehi, who was from the tribe of Manasseh?
- What do we know about the descendants of Ishmael? Why was the land of Ishmael governed by a son of the Lamanite king? Were there still descendants of Ishmael in this land?
[edit]
Verse 20
- Were the other sons of Mosiah similarly bound and allowed to preach only at the permission of their local rulers, or was this something that just happened to Ammon in the land of Ishmael?
