Alma 11:21

And this Zeezrom began to question Amulek, saying:

Will ye answer me a few questions which I shall ask you?

Now Zeezrom was a man who was expert in the devices of the devil,

that he might destroy that which was good;

therefore, he said unto Amulek:

Will ye answer the questions which I shall put unto you?

Alma 11:22

And Amulek said unto him:

Yea, if it be according to the Spirit of the Lord, which is in me;

for I shall say nothing which is contrary to the Spirit of the Lord.

And Zeezrom said unto him:

Behold, here are six onties of silver,

and all these will I give thee

if thou wilt deny the existence of a Supreme Being.

Alma 11:23

Now Amulek said:

O thou child of hell, why tempt ye me?

Knowest thou that the righteous yieldeth to no such temptations?

Alma 11:24

Believest thou that there is no God?

I say unto you,

Nay, thou knowest that there is a God,

but thou lovest that lucre more than him.

Alma 11:25

And now thou hast lied before God unto me.

Thou saidst unto me —

Behold these six onties, which are of great worth,

I will give unto thee —

when thou hadst it in thy heart to retain them from me;

and it was only thy desire that I should deny the true and living God,

that thou mightest have cause to destroy me.

And now behold, for this great evil thou shalt have thy reward.

Alma 11:26

And Zeezrom said unto him:

Thou sayest there is a true and living God?

Alma 11:27

And Amulek said:

Yea, there is a true and living God.

Alma 11:28

Now Zeezrom said:

Is there more than one God?

Alma 11:29

And he answered, No.

Alma 11:30

Now Zeezrom said unto him again:

How knowest thou these things?

Alma 11:31

And he said:

An angel hath made them known unto me.

Alma 11:32

And Zeezrom said again:

Who is he that shall come?

Is it the Son of God?

Alma 11:33

And he said unto him, Yea.

Alma 11:34

And Zeezrom said again:

Shall he save his people in their sins?

And Amulek answered and said unto him:

I say unto you he shall not,

for it is impossible for him to deny his word.

Alma 11:35

Now Zeezrom said unto the people:

See that ye remember these things;

for he said there is but one God;

yet he saith that the Son of God shall come,

but he shall not save his people —

as though he had authority to command God.

Alma 11:36

Now Amulek saith again unto him:

Behold thou hast lied,

for thou sayest that I spake as though I had authority to command God

because I said he shall not save his people in their sins.

Alma 11:37

And I say unto you again

that he cannot save them in their sins;

for I cannot deny his word,

and he hath said that no unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of heaven;

therefore, how can ye be saved, except ye inherit the kingdom of heaven?

Therefore, ye cannot be saved in your sins.
