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

Romans 9

Though much of Paul's writings to the Romans are difficult for me to understand, I feel it is clear his truthful statement -

"Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen."  (Romans 9:4–5)

I feel the doctrine is that when we are faithful,  sealed by proper priesthood authority, sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise we become Israelites or the family of Israel and its associated promises of celestial glory.  As the family of Israel or of Christ, families can be together forever.
