11:22 And Amulek said unto him: Yea, if it be according to the Spirit
of the Lord, which is in me; for I shall say nothing which is contrary
to the Spirit of the Lord. And Zeezrom said unto him: Behold, here are
six onties of silver, and all these will I give thee if thou wilt deny
the existence of a Supreme Being.
11:23 Now Amulek said: O thou child of hell, why tempt ye me? Knowest
thou that the righteous yieldeth to no such temptations?
11:24 Believest thou that there is no God? I say unto you, Nay, thou
knowest that there is a God, but thou lovest that lucre more than him.
11:25 And now thou hast lied before God unto me. Thou saidst unto
me—Behold these six onties, which are of great worth, I will give unto
thee—when thou hadst it in thy heart to retain them from me; and it was
only thy desire that I should deny the true and living God, that thou
mightest have cause to destroy me. And now behold, for this great evil
thou shalt have thy reward.
11:26 And Zeezrom said unto him: Thou sayest there is a true and living
God?
11:27 And Amulek said: Yea, there is a true and living God.
11:28 Now Zeezrom said: Is there more than one God?
11:29 And he answered, No.
11:30 Now Zeezrom said unto him again: How knowest thou these things?
11:31 And he said: An angel hath made them known unto me.
11:32 And Zeezrom said again: Who is he that shall come? Is it the Son
of God?
11:33 And he said unto him, Yea.
11:34 And Zeezrom said again: Shall he save his people in their sins?
And Amulek answered and said unto him: I say unto you he shall not, for
it is impossible for him to deny his word.
11:35 Now Zeezrom said unto the people: See that ye remember these
things; for he said there is but one God; yet he saith that the Son of
God shall come, but he shall not save his people—as though he had
authority to command God.
11:36 Now Amulek saith again unto him: Behold thou hast lied, for thou
sayest that I spake as though I had authority to command God because I
said he shall not save his people in their sins.
11:37 And I say unto you again that he cannot save them in their sins;
for I cannot deny his word, and he hath said that no unclean thing can
inherit the kingdom of heaven; therefore, how can ye be saved, except
ye inherit the kingdom of heaven? Therefore, ye cannot be saved in your
sins.
11:38 Now Zeezrom saith again unto him: Is the Son of God the very
Eternal Father?
11:39 And Amulek said unto him: Yea, he is the very Eternal Father of
heaven and of earth, and all things which in them are; he is the
beginning and the end, the first and the last;
11:40 And he shall come into the world to redeem his people; and he
shall take upon him the transgressions of those who believe on his
name; and these are they that shall have eternal life, and salvation
cometh to none else.
