not a righteous people? Behold, we have built sanctuaries, and
we do assemble ourselves together to worship God. We do believe
that God will save all men.
Alma 21:7
7 Now Aaron said unto him: Believest thou that the Son of God
shall come to redeem mankind from their sins?
Alma 21:8
8 And the man said unto him: We do not believe that thou knowest
any such thing. We do not believe in these foolish traditions.
We do not believe that thou knowest of things to come, neither do
we believe that thy fathers and also that our fathers did know
concerning the things which they spake, of that which is to come.
Alma 21:9
9 Now Aaron began to open the scriptures unto them concerning
