Welcome to part two of this week's podcast.

This reminds me of Stephen Robinson's book, just the title was, Believing Christ.

His thesis, as I recall, was, well, a lot of us believe in Christ, but we don't believe

him.

When he says he can change us and cleanse us and redeem us, there's a verse that I,

for years went right past it because I knew what Alma and Amulek were doing with the

Zormites.

They were showing them after they heard the prayer on the Ramieumptom that has made it

known unto us.

There will be no Christ.

They started quoting all these verses that said, no, God will have a son.

And so when I read Alma 33 16, all those times, it was, though, our angry O Lord with

this people because they will not understand the immerses which that has bestowed upon them

because of thy son.

And I always read it in that context.

See, he's showing them that God has a son, but I missed the powerful message in there.

How do you make the Lord angry?

The hour, angry O Lord with his people because they will not understand the immerses.

And what is the difference between will not and cannot?

It's a choice.

They refuse to understand how merciful he is.

They will not understand the immerses which thou has bestowed upon them because of thy son.
