Questions
[edit]
Verse 26
- Why are we told that Alma "lifted up his voice to heaven"? Does that just mean he prayed, or is this a specific type of prayer?
- Why are the works of the Zoramites considered "gross wickedness"?
[edit]
Verse 27
- What does it mean to "cry" unto the Lord?
- What is the problem with crying unto God while having pride or being "puffed up"?
- What does it mean to be "puffed up, even to greatness"?
[edit]
Verse 28
- What is so wrong about wearing finery to call upon God?
- What is the bigger problem--the "costly apparel" or the claim to being a "chosen people"? What is the connection between the two?
- Where did this idea of being chosen, while others perish come from? Is this related to all of the destruction that happened in Alma 28? Were the Zoramites perhaps spared from destruction, while Nephites in other lands were slaughtered?
[edit]
Verse 29
- Why would the Zoramites claim revelation saying that there shall be no Christ?
[edit]
Verse 30
- What does Alma mean by "infidelity"?
- Why should the Zoramites practices pain Alma's soul? Are they really all that different from various religious teachings we see in our modern day? Are we too accepting of religious differences?
