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

Matthew 2

As I blogged earlier, Matthew seemed to strive to justify his writings with Old Testament prophecies.    When Joseph and Mary returned from Egypt, Matthew writes -

"And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene."  (Matthew 2:23)

This prophecy does not appear to be in the Old Testament substantiating that the Old Testament is not a complete testament and has missing works.
