Alma 11:2, 35, 36

Alma 11:2

Now if a man owed another,

and he would not pay that which he did owe,

he was complained of to the judge;

and the judge executed authority, and sent forth officers

that the man should be brought before him;

and he judged the man according to the law

and the evidences which were brought against him,

and thus the man was compelled to pay that which he owed,

or be stripped, or be cast out from among the people as a thief and a robber.

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.
