Questions
[edit]
Verse 31
- If the people were going to be "wroth" with Alma for doing so, why did he call them hard-hearted and stiffnecked? When is it appropriate to hammer people with such unflattering portraits of their behavior? When is it inappropriate?
[edit]
Verse 32
- Alma has really ticked these people off. Why did he have to say such harsh things against the people? Is there any sense in which this might have been counter-productive?
[edit]
Verse 33
- How did Alma avoid being taken into captivity if everyone was trying to "lay their hands upon [him]"?
[edit]
Verse 34
- Why weren't more of the words of Amulek written? To what degree should we take the teachings of Amulek, a recently converted missionary, as scripture for our day? What does taking his words as scripture imply about our own teachings in similar situations?
