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

Luke 12

During His ministry -

"...one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth."  (Luke 12:13–15)

It appears to me that the "one" wanted social justice and fairness when it came to social distribution.  Obviously, he was greedy and wanted the Savior to be a distributor or social divider..  The Savior refused.  I believe the Savior was speaking against socialism or social justice.  It was more about not being covetous, but inequality, righteousness,  and earning.  Just a thought
