[edit] Verse 19
- See R. J. Snow's article from the Encyclopedia of Mormonism on the meaning of "Natural Man".
- Several blog posts have dealt with this verse. See Abev's If Men were Angels, New Cool Thing's Natural Man, New Cool Thing's On the Personhood of Satan and A Prayer of Faith's Rejoicing in our Nothingness.
- Another aspect of the natural man is his inability or unwillingness to trust in anything but his own understanding. "When they are learned they think they are wise, and they hearken not until the counsel of God (see 2 Nephi 9:28-29)."
- See also Alma 13:28-29, "watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear, and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering..."
