Alma 12:18, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25

Alma 12:18

Then, I say unto you,

they shall be as though there had been no redemption made;

for they cannot be redeemed according to God's justice;

and they cannot die,

seeing there is no more corruption.

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.

Alma 12:23

And now behold, I say unto you that

if it had been possible for Adam

to have partaken of the fruit of the tree of life at that time,

there would have been no death,

and the word would have been void,

making God a liar,

for he said:

If thou eat thou shalt surely die.

Alma 12:24

And we see that death comes upon mankind,

yea, the death which has been spoken of by Amulek,

which is the temporal death;

nevertheless there was a space granted unto man in which he might repent;

therefore this life became a probationary state;

a time to prepare to meet God;

a time to prepare for that endless state

which has been spoken of by us,

which is after the resurrection of the dead.

Alma 12:25

Now, if it had not been for the plan of redemption,

which was laid from the foundation of the world,

there could have been no resurrection of the dead;

but there was a plan of redemption laid,

which shall bring to pass the resurrection of the dead,

of which has been spoken.
