| | Abinadi and the Dead Sea Scrolls - Ancient Mormon Doctrine Scholar Dr. Einar C. Erickson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) |
 | | Abinadi was brought up out of their prison and when questioned, "he answered them boldly, and withstood all their questions, yea, to their astonishment, for he did withstand them in all their questions, and did confound them in all their words," (Mosiah 12: 19) deftly turning the tables on all of them. |
 | | To this Abinadi made the response: "Are you priests and pretend to teach this people, and to understand the spirit of prophesying, and yet desire to know of me what these things mean? I say unto you, woe be unto you for perverting the ways of the Lord! |
 | | Abinadi must have made the skin crawl and hair stand on end of every one of the priests who were hearing him rise to this majestic height of prophetic power and interpretation and declaration of the salvation and redemption wrought by Christ. |
