Alma 30:16

Ye look forward and say that ye see a remission of your sins.

which lead you away into a belief of things which are not so.

but behold, it is better that thy soul should be lost

than that thou shouldst be the means of bringing many souls down to destruction,

by thy lying and by thy flattering words;

that thou shalt never open thy mouth any more,

that thou shalt not deceive this people any more.

but behold, the devil hath deceived me;

for he appeared unto me in the form of an angel, and said unto me:

Go and reclaim this people,

for they have all gone astray after an unknown God.

And he said unto me:

There is no God;

yea, and he taught me that which I should say.

And I have taught his words;

and I taught them because they were pleasing unto the carnal mind;

and I taught them, even until I had much success,

insomuch that I verily believed that they were true;

and for this cause I withstood the truth,

even until I have brought this great curse upon me.

Alma 32:27

but behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties,

even to an experiment upon my words,

that ye can give place for a portion of my words.

but behold, as the seed swelleth, and sprouteth, and beginneth to grow,

And now, behold, will not this strengthen your faith?

Yea, it will strengthen your faith:

for ye will say

I know that this is a good seed;

for behold it sprouteth and beginneth to grow.

And Alma said unto them:

Behold, ye have said that ye could not worship your God

because ye are cast out of your synagogues.

and ye ought to search the scriptures;

if ye suppose that they have taught you this,

ye do not understand them.

but behold, this is not all;

these are not the only ones who have spoken concerning the Son of God.
