Alma 1:25 Nevertheless, they durst not lie, if it were known, for fear of the law, for liars were punished; Therefore, they
pretended to preach according to their belief -
Alma 16:35 Yea, they durst not make use of that which is their own, lest they should offend their priests which do yoke them according to their desires, And hath brought them to believe - by their traditions, and their dreams, and their whims, and their visions, and their
pretended mysteries - That they should - if they did not do according to their words - offend some Unknown Being, which they say is God, A Being which never hath been seen nor known, which never was nor never will be."
Alma 21:109 And when they had come to the spot and found the king lying in his gore, Amalickiah
pretended to be wroth and said: "Whosoever loved the king, let him go forth and pursue his servants that they may be slain."
Helaman 3:97 "Behold, I say unto you, go to the house of Seantum, which is the brother of Seezoram, and say unto him: 'Hath Nephi, the
pretended prophet which doth prophesy so much evil concerning this people, agreed with thee in the which ye have murdered Seezoram, which is your brother?' "And behold, he shall say unto you, 'Nay.'
