| − | ===Verse 21===
| + | |
| − | * Why does Lamoni offer to give Ammon "whatsoever thou desirest"?
| + | |
| − | * Why is Lamoni even thinking about guarding Ammon with his armies?
| + | |
| − | * Why would Lamoni think that Ammon was more powerful than his armies, if all he had done was take on some hoodlums, killing six with his sling and one with his sword?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Verse 22===
| + | |
| − | * What does it mean for Ammon to be wise? Why would we be told that he was wise "yet harmless"?
| + | |
| − | * What is Ammon doing here, asking Lamoni to believe before he even teaches him anything? How might this serve as a model for modern gospel teaching?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Verse 23===
| + | |
| − | * Why would Ammon use guile to share and teach the gospel? Can GUILE be a good thing to have? In [[John 1:47]] it seems a good thing that Nathanael had no guile.
| + | |
| − | * Wny would Lamoni agree to believe Ammon's words before even hearing them?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Verse 24===
| + | |
| − | * What does it mean that Ammon "began to speak...with boldness"? How does that contrast to how he has spoken to the king previously? Why didn't he speak unto him "with boldness" before?
| + | |
| − | * Why does Ammon begin his teaching by asking a question?
| + | |
| − | * What significance does it have that Ammon would first ask the king if he believed "that there is a God"? What does it mean to believe that there is a God. Why the emphasis on "a" God?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Verse 25===
| + | |
| − | * Most Mesoamerican and other ancient American societies believed in gods. Why would Lamoni tell Ammon that he doesn't know what it means to believe "that there is a God"?
