| − | * What do the people of Ammonihah mean by claiming that the church was established "according to your tradition" rather than "our" tradition? Who are these people that claim not to be of the same religious tradition?

| − | * It appears that the people of Ammonihah recognize power only in the political--they reject Alma's authority over them on the premise that he is no longer the chief judge. This obsession with the political is reemphasized in the following chapters (see [[Alma 10:13]], [[Alma 10:24]]). It's also possible to understand some of Amulek's later discourse as addressing this situation ([[Alma 10:19|Alma 10:19-20]]).
