Today we continue our study of Korihor's teachings and claims. We consider how we can identify Korihor’s philosophies in the world today and we reflect on the how commandments, whilst they may be viewed as restrictive, can bring great blessings.

Joseph Fielding McConkie: “Korihor claims the protection of law in a free nation to teach the doctrines of disbelief, disrespect, and disobedience. He attempts to convince people that they are in bondage, for if he can successfully do so they will naturally turn to him as a liberator or redeemer. His then is a liberation movement. He is going to free them from the burden of commandments and gospel commitments. Whereas the gospel declares that the knowledge of revealed truths brings freedom, Korihor contends that freedom really means being without the constraints of righteousness”
