Mormon makes everything black and white here—a man is evil or he is good. The truth is that this logic only works for snapshots in time. A man who was evil at one point can repent and become good. A man who is good can turn from God and become evil. The point of Mormon’s sermon is for men to examine themselves and realize that they can’t bring forth evil fruit while living God anymore than they can bring forth good fruit while referring against Him.
