Alma 12:19
Now it came to pass that
when Alma had made an end of speaking these words,
the people began to be more astonished;
Alma 12:20
But there was one Antionah, who was a chief ruler among them,
came forth and said unto him:
What is this that thou hast said,
that man should rise from the dead
and be changed from this mortal to an immortal state
that the soul can never die?
Alma 12:21
What does the scripture mean, which saith
that God placed cherubim and a flaming sword
on the east of the garden of Eden,
lest our first parents should enter
and partake of the fruit of the tree of life, and live forever?
And thus we see that there was no possible chance
that they should live forever.
