Alma 1: 16-25
The death of Nehor did not even slow the progress of those who sought for riches and the vain things of the world. They just got careful not to cross the law while they preached their foolish doctrines. Many people of the church left, or had their names removed because of wickedness and there was much persecution of the church by those who were not members. Even within the church the people began to be contentious even unto blows.
