Hymn: I Am a Child of God
Prayer: Jaron
Alma 3:7-13
What we learned...
"The Nephites were told not to intermarry with the Lamanites, not because of their skin color but because of their traditions." (Kenyon)
"The Amlicites who were originally born Nephites had a red mark on their foreheads so that everyone would know they were with the Lamanites." (Shaylee)
"When one with the gospel marries one without the gospel it can cause the children to be cursed on which parent to follow." (Brandon)
"The people who did not believe in the correct gospel were cursed." (Jaron)
"The wording of these verses can cause some to interpret that it's saying those with dark skin are cursed, but by reading all these verses in context it's clear that the curse is believing in incorrect traditions or not believing the true gospel, which is what the Lord was concerned about. It doesn't say that the Lord didn't want their children to have dark skin but that He didn't want them to believe in incorrect traditions. This is shown throughout the Book of Mormon where the Anti-Nephi-Lehi's, Samuel the Lamanite and other Lamanites were more righteous and favored of the Lord than the Nephites." (Dad)
