Questions
[edit]
Verse 51
- Why did the chief judge "write" to Korihor? Was Korihor struck deaf as well as dumb (v. 50)?
[edit]
Verse 53
- How is it possible for "the devil" to appear "in the form of an angel"? Was this devil Satan or some other evil spirit?
- Why would Korihor believe an angel that said there was no God?
- What is meant here by "an unknown God"?
- How does this appearance of the devil as an angel compare with the appearance of an angel to Alma? What can we learn from this parallelism?
- Korihor stated that the words of the devil "were pleasing unto the carnal mind". What does this teach us about how the devil works?
- Korihor states that he "verily believed that [the words of the devil] were true" because he had "much success" teaching them. How does this compare with what Alma teaches about knowing that the word of God is true?
