Shared words: an enemy to God

The phrase 'enemy to God' is exclusive to Mosiah - exactly three verses: 2:38 (Benjamin, 'dieth an enemy to God'), 3:19 (the angel's natural man), 16:5 (Abinadi's man refusing redemption). The phrase 'natural man' itself stands elsewhere at Alma 26:21 (rhetorical, a different sense) and -- since the freezes -- at 1 Corinthians 2:14, Moses 1:14 and D&C 67:12 ('Neither can any natural man abide the presence of God, neither after the carnal mind', added 2026-08-10 at the D&C freeze, and in the doctrinal rather than the rhetorical sense); the doctrinal-sense pairing with 1 Corinthians 2:14 is registered as ae-w1-04. Both preachers make the enmity the unredeemed default dissolved only by atonement/redemption; the record does not claim either knew the other's words.
