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

Alma 20

I think we learn a little bit about life in general as Mormon writes, speaking of the Aaron and his brethren in contrast to Ammon  -

"...it happened, it was their lot to have fallen into the hands of a more hardened and a more stiffnecked people..."  (Book of Mormon | Alma 20:30)

This would suggest to me that "it happened" is that the God does not affect everything but allows in a corrupt and imperfect world that things will just happen.  It doesn't mean anyone is better or more righteous or that others are being punished.  It just happened that Ammon came to the people in the land of Ishmael and his brethren in more hardened areas.
