Scripture Blog

This weblog is my personal online scripture journal. I try to read the scriptures each morning as I exercise on my cross-trainer. It has a great impact on my life and my testimony of the Savior and his restored church. The journal is really for my own benefit but I have set it up as a web log in hopes to benefit anyone else that may be interested. "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost..." 1 Nephi 10:19

2 Corinthians 11

Having admitted that in previous letters that he had been quite bold and hard on the saints in Corinth, Paul, in somewhat more softness, warns -

"...I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him." (New Testament | 2 Corinthians 11:3 - 4)

I hope to be sensitive, but I feel it is quite ironic that other Christian denominations you this scripture to suggest that the restored Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is one that "preacheth another Jesus". But the more I read the New Testament, the more I believe we do teach the true Jesus. It is interesting that Paul, an apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ says "whom we have not preached". What other organization preacheth Jesus that have been ordained an apostle of the Lord. Think about it. I hope to not offend, but I believe that other Christians churches may be those that "preach another Jesus" or variations of His doctrine.
