Amulek repeats Alma’s suggestion that this group of people should have known about the coming of Christ. Indeed, the original question they asked about the one God suggests that they did, as we noted. Amulek then indicates that they had been taught this “before your dissension from among us.” When Amulek makes this statement he is indicating their connection to the Zoramites, and the Zoramite dissension. Even though we have analyzed this particular people as existing in the land when the Zoramites arrived, they were nevertheless politically Zoramites, and had at least attempted to merge into the Zoramite mode of worship. This as part of the greater political entity, it is correct to address them with the description of that polity’s dissension.
