Alma 42

(April 18, 2014)
Corianton’s intellectual approach to the Gospel is a familiar one.  It is all too common that, when moral failings happen, that we attempt to blame the Gospel rather than ourselves.  If the Gospel is not true, then we have not sinned (because there is no sin).  Even if we don’t entirely lose our testimony, our testimony is weakened.

By contrast, Corianton takes the correct approach – when our testimony does not match our actions, we must amend our actions.  Sins do not ensure apostasy, but it is clear why they are such a danger to create apostates.  We must not allow that to happen in our own lives.
