Alma 30:28

Yea, they durst not make use of that which is their own

lest they should offend their priests,

who do yoke them according to their desires,

and have brought them to believe, by their traditions and their dreams

and their whims and their visions and their pretended mysteries,

that they should, if they did not do according to their words,

offend some unknown being, who they say is God —

a being who never has been seen or known,

who never was nor ever will be.

Alma 33:20

But few understood the meaning of those things,

and this because of the hardness of their hearts.

But there were many who were so hardened that they would not look,

therefore they perished.

Now the reason they would not look

is because they did not believe that it would heal them.

Alma 35:9

And he breathed out many threatenings against them.

And now the people of Ammon did not fear their words;

therefore they did not cast them out,

but they did receive all the poor of the Zoramites that came over unto them;

and they did nourish them, and did clothe them,

and did give unto them lands for their inheritance;

and they did administer unto them according to their wants.
