- Alma the Younger’s son Corianton did not keep God’s commandments as a missionary. Many people saw Corianton go after the harlot Isabel. They saw Corianton as a hypocrite and did not believe his father’s teachings. Alma helps Corianton understand how serious it is to commit sexual sin. He pleads with Corianton to take responsibility and to repent.

Based on Alma 39:1-10, 13.
Alma 39
1 And now, my son, I have somewhat more to say unto thee than what I said unto thy brother; for behold, have ye not observed the steadiness of thy brother, his faithfulness, and his diligence in keeping the commandments of God? Behold, has he not set a good example for thee?
2 For thou didst not give so much heed unto my words as did thy brother, among the people of the Zoramites. Now this is what I have against thee; thou didst go on unto boasting in thy strength and thy wisdom.
3 And this is not all, my son. Thou didst do that which was grievous unto me; for thou didst forsake the ministry, and did go over into the land of Siron among the borders of the Lamanites, after the harlot Isabel.
4 Yea, she did steal away the hearts of many; but this was no excuse for thee, my son. Thou shouldst have tended to the ministry wherewith thou wast entrusted.
5 Know ye not, my son, that these things are an abomination in the sight of the Lord; yea, most abominable above all sins save it be the shedding of innocent blood or denying the Holy Ghost?
6 For behold, if ye deny the Holy Ghost when it once has had place in you, and ye know that ye deny it, behold, this is a sin which is unpardonable; yea, and whosoever murdereth against the light and knowledge of God, it is not easy for him to obtain forgiveness; yea, I say unto you, my son, that it is not easy for him to obtain a forgiveness.
7 And now, my son, I would to God that ye had not been guilty of so great a crime. I would not dwell upon your crimes, to harrow up your soul, if it were not for your good.
8 But behold, ye cannot hide your crimes from God; and except ye repent they will stand as a testimony against you at the last day.
9 Now my son, I would that ye should repent and forsake your sins, and go no more after the lusts of your eyes, but cross yourself in all these things; for except ye do this ye can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God. Oh, remember, and take it upon you, and cross yourself in these things.
10 And I command you to take it upon you to counsel with your elder brothers in your undertakings; for behold, thou art in thy youth, and ye stand in need to be nourished by your brothers. And give heed to their counsel.
13 That ye turn to the Lord with all your mind, might, and strength; that ye lead away the hearts of no more to do wickedly; but rather return unto them, and acknowledge your faults and that wrong which ye have done.

Sadly my own father did not teach me things like that, but THE LORD knowing all things since the beginning, He sent my bishop and his counselor, my mission president to teach me, specific principles I need to learn then. How grateful I am to God, My Father for that.
I reflect on my past, completing my mission with only some reprimand, but I didn't learn how serious my thinking was until I was older and lost my membership. This gave me time to really question myself and make the most important decision in my life. What is more important to me, would I humble myself and leave everything behind to seek the Savior? Would I comprehend how devastating my pride and impurity? It took what seemed like eternity to return. I could have still felt offended and turned against the Church of Jesus Christ like many, claiming they didn't care about feelings, but I know now that the only way happiness is real, is to follow Christ. Making a new life takes a lot, but always make sure it includes the guidance from the Savior.
It’s always important to remember that this is a perfect church run by imperfect people ❤️ so glad you decided to come back and experience the happiness the true gospel brings once again!
You have great courage and are an example of what REAL commitment to the Savior is.
Thanks for posting.
I literally cried when I read those two replies and I don't often. Thank you for being sensetive to what is important in life! Everyone needs to know the joy
I don’t know you but I’m so glad you’re back !! You’re have strong faith and courage. Well done
Thank you for sharing. Your words give comfort and courage (inspiration) to me.
I love Alma! ❤
He is the best.
Thank you 🙏
Listen up Elders and don't forget this. Immorality can cost you your recommend. Stay away from it! Immorality can drag you down to Hell. If you get involved in Immorality repent and talk to your Bishop and a member of the Stake Presidency. Of all of Alma's sons Corianton did not get blessed he got reprimanded. Instead of preaching the gospel he walked off the job, went into the sinful city Siron, stepped into a brothel, and slept with a harlot. Corianton did repent after he heard what his dad went through. When Alma was Corianton's age he was a rebel and he and the Sons of Mosiah rebelled against God. God sent an angel to straighten him out. After his repentance Corianton received his blessing and went back to work preaching the gospel.
Okay, so I was going to look for another scripture, but I saw the scripture instead, first from the Gospel Library app. It's from the scripture quote of the day that fits with this topic. This is found in the Doctrine and Covenants section 138, verse 4.
"...That through His [Jesus Christ's]* Atonement, and by obedience to the principles of the Gospel, mankind might be saved. ..."

Well done. This clip should be a bit longer.
It's part of a longer one that was released the other week
I think Alma the Younger talking with his son, Corianton, must have reminded him of when he (Alma the Younger) as a youth. I'm sure coming from a place of personal understanding for both his son's place and now for his Father's, Alma the Elder's, place.
Also, with Alma the Younger having had the personal experience and revelation from God and further studying the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Alma the Younger could help guide his son, Corianton, in this loving and caring manner.
I love not only seeing the scriptures come to life, but the portrayal of this and understanding the context behind this moment.
Alma was racked with eternal torment for what he did but he repented and became the greatest prophet in the Book of Mormon.
debemos ser amorosos y serios para hablar con nuestros hijos para que regresen al camino de la rectitud

But you know, all we ever hear are "Come unto Him", which is fine and necessary and vital and all the rest of it, but except for Alma the Younger, who has the ancient Plates and his sons who were obviously taught from them it seems that nobody else was. That rule about the harlot isn't included in the first ten. There were hundreds of rules that were necessary to be followed that the Jews in the Homeland had a hard time with and if you didn't follow them there were all kinds of sacrifices that had to be made to get right with the Lord again. Hence, the need for a Temple. Over here in North America, the same rules still applied and still damned any Jew (or descendent) who didn't follow them but nobody knew what they were or how to get out of the damnation not following them was obviously causing. Alma, the Chief Priest, like his father before him, seems completely unconcerned about this. He just wants everybody to be a Christian but he gets confused about what that means to the damning Law that the Sacrificial Lamb fulfills, thus replacing that earlier Law with the higher Law of His own preaching. You can't have both at the same time. The first created Justice which is satisfied ETERNALLY by a Mercy based not on institutional hate but rather on personal love and one man's personal perfection as declared by that same Justice. The real meaning to the eternal round statement by Joseph. Alma seems not to understand any of this. The Angel should have schooled him better.
