Summary

In this episode, Jeffery continues the story of Korihor, who preaches to the people that they are not responsible for their actions and can do whatever they want. Korihor is brought before the high priest and chief judge, where he denies the existence of God and mocks the people for their beliefs. The high priest and chief judge do not engage in a debate with Korihor but instead bind him and send him to be brought before Alma. Jeffery explores the arguments made by Korihor and discusses the importance of discernment and the role of ordinances in binding us to the Savior.
