You can also join the discussion in the Facebook Group 'Church of Jesus Christ Study Session with Come Follow Me'.
Join us today as we begin our study of one of the shortest Come Follow Me weeks we've come up to but no less rich in insights! We consider the stance of Korihor and we reflect on why Mormon included the incident of Korihor in this record.
Gerald N Lund: “If Mormon had included nothing but those [Korihor’s] teachings, they would have been of great value to us. But he did more than that. He also included Alma's answer to Korihor. . . .
“The first thing to note is that Alma does not get into a philosophical debate with Korihor. He does not talk about metaphysics or axiology or epistemology. He does not allow himself to get pulled onto the ground that Korihor tries to define as the area of debate. There is a great lesson in that. Alma teaches that we should combat false philosophies with revelation and doctrine, not with academic debate”
