Apostate Zoramites

Church Educational System
We do not have much information on the origin of the Zoramites. Alma 30:59 indicates that the Zoramites had dissented from the Nephites under the leadership of a man named Zoram. The following is a summary of what we know about their apostate condition:

When Alma saw the apostate condition of the Zoramites he knew what their problem was. According to verses 24–29, why do people often invent their own forms of worship?

Note in verses 30–35 Alma’s prayer for his companions and the success of their mission. It was during this mission that Alma’s son Corianton fell to the seductive temptations of the harlot Isabel (see Alma 39:2–3).
