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

D&C 29

Speaking of Adam, the Lord said -

"Behold, I gave unto him that he should be an agent unto himself; and I gave unto him commandment, but no temporal commandment gave I unto him, for my commandments are spiritual; they are not natural nor temporal, neither carnal nor sensual."  (Doctrine and Covenants 29:35)

I find it interesting that Elder John A Widtsoe taught of Adam's and Eve's life in the Garden -

"The memory of their former estates may have been dimmed, but the gospel had been taught them during their sojourn in the Garden of Eden…"  (Evidences and Reconciliations, pp.193-94)
