Lesson 27, Alma 30-31
Gabby taught a wonderful lesson on Sunday about Korihor. In Alma chapter 30, Korihor is spreading false doctrine, teaching people that there is no Christ. When Alma questioned why he had turned away from the gospel, he accused the church of deceiving the people. His reasons were some of the same lies we hear today. They are just following the same foolish traditions of their fathers, no one can know what is to come, the commandments are too restrictive, and that belief in the Atonement is the result of a "frenzied mind".
Korihor says he will believe if he sees a sign. Even after Alma's warning he continues to temp the Lord. He receives his sign, and is struck completely dumb. Then he believes, and begs to have the affliction removed. He explains that the devil came to him in the form of an angel, and told him all those things. He remained dumb, and eventually died after having to beg for food on the street.
Here is the reading for next week!
