0:00.0 | Hello there, my name is Tyler Griffin and this is Scripture Study Insights by Scripture Central. |
0:06.0 | Today, Alma 30 and 31. |
0:09.0 | And these two chapters are, they're an amazingly difficult set of the Book of Mormon history |
0:19.0 | because what we get is in Alma 30, Corahor coming and teaching |
0:24.1 | his doctrine and then you get in chapter 31 the Zoramites embodying his doctrine or applying |
0:31.8 | his doctrine to their daily life. So you see what it looks like when it plays out. So at first past, you may look at these |

1:47.0 | as well as we get to see Alma the Younger interacting with Korahor and interacting with the Zoramites, |
1:55.0 | so we see patterns for what we can do to not just be a victim of our circumstance or a victim of our culture, |
2:05.6 | but rather an agent for good, an active disciple of Christ who can discern these techniques |
2:15.6 | as they're coming forth and then successfully combat them with the spirit. |
2:22.3 | And so let's dive in. The concept that there are two little lifelong learning over days |
2:31.3 | or teaching perspectives that I want to focus on today. The first |
