| − | == Questions ==
| + | |
| − | ===Verse 16===
| + | |
| − | * Why are promises extended to the Lamanites? What are these promises?
| + | |
| − | * Why does ignorance provoke mercy?
| + | |
| − | * What does prolonging existence in the land have to do with the mercy or favor of God?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Verse 17===
| + | |
| − | * Alma says that someday the Lamanites will learn the truth and, therefore, of the falsity of their fathers’ traditions. To what traditions is he referring? Does this mean that Native Americans will give up their cultural traditions when they are converted?
| + | |
| − | * What does Alma mean here by being saved?
| + | |
| − | * What does it mean to "call on" the name of the Lord?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Verse 18===
| + | |
| − | * How does this statement by Alma about impending destruction manifest his preaching by the spirit of prophecy and revelation?
| + | |
| − | * Alma says the people will be destroyed by both the Lamanites and the "fierce anger of the Lord". How do the actions of the Lamanites represent the anger of the Lord?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Verse 19===
| + | |
| − | * Why would the Lord prefer to have all the Nephites destroyed rather than allow them to continue in sin after he has blessed them? To unbelievers the Lord may sound petulant, like a “martyr-parent,” who says, “Since you are ungrateful after all I’ve done for you, I’ll show you.” How would you explain this to someone who saw these verses that way?
| + | |
| − | * What is the "light and knowledge" given unto the Nephites? Does this have anything to do with the further light and knowledge found in modern temple ceremonies?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Verse 20===
| + | |
| − | * What does it mean to have been "highly favored people of the Lord"?
| + | |
| − | * In what way were the Nephites "favored above every other nation, kindred, tongue, or people"?
| + | |
| − | * What great blessings did the Nephites enjoy?
| + | |
| − | * How were "all things made known" unto the Nephites. Does this have anything to do with seership (cf. Mosiah 8)?
| + | |
| − | * What is the relationship between desire, faith, and prayer, and how do they lead to knowledge?
