Alma 10

(March 22, 2014)
Having gone through my own crisis of faith, I have some difficulty understanding Amulek here.  I would have loved, for all the world, at that point to know of the truth of the Gospel.  What I couldn’t say then was that “I knew concerning these things, yet I would not know.”  I suppose that is normal and natural – not everyone experiences the same apostasy – each of us sins in our own way.  But I wonder how unique Amulek was in the grand scheme of things – how often those struggling with their testimonies are actually fooling themselves into not believing.  I don’t think that was what happened with me, but it appears to be something that happens to at least some people.
