Alma 30:11
For there was a law that men should be judged according to their crimes.
Nevertheless, there was no law against a man's belief;
therefore, a man was punished only for the crimes which he had done;
therefore all men were on equal grounds.
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 33:22
If so, wo shall come upon you;
but if not so, then cast about your eyes
and begin to believe in the Son of God,
that he will come to redeem his people,
and that he shall suffer and die to atone for their sins;
and that he shall rise again from the dead,
which shall bring to pass the resurrection,
that all men shall stand before him,
to be judged at the last and judgment day, according to their works.
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.
