Questions
[edit]
Verse 1
- Why would it be expedient for king Benjamin to "take the names of all those who had entered into a covenant with God"? Do we ever read of the leaders making use of this list?
- What is the difference between this act of organization, and the later Church organization under the leadership of Alma?
[edit]
Verse 2
- How is it possible that all of the people could enter into this covenant with God?
- Is there a problem with people "joining the Church" en masse? Isn't that supposed to be an individual choice? Why don't we baptize whole congregations into the Church anymore?
- What does it mean to "take upon...the n ame of Christ"? How does this differ from what we do at baptism?
[edit]
Verse 3
- What did consecration of Nephite kings entail? Do they follow coronation rites of ancient Israel?
- Mosiah is consecrated "to be a ruler and a king"--what's the difference between a ruler and a king?
- King Benjamin appoints priests "to teach the people". How is this different from Old Testament priests who served in the temple? Does this indicate that there were now two types of priests--temple priests and teaching priests"?
