“Whatsoever a Man Did Was No Crime”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
We can now see why Korihor taught that there should be no Christ. From his point of view there was no need for a Christ, inasmuch as there was no sin. This is a form of ethical relativism, a statement that there are no absolute truths and thus no absolute values, no rights and wrongs. One can appreciate why Korihor’s doctrine was so well received by the worldly people in Zarahemla.
