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

1 Nephi 13

Speaking of the great and abominable church or kingdom of the devil, the angel told Nephi -

"...for behold, they have taken away from the gospel of the Lamb many parts which are plain and most precious; and also many covenants of the Lord have they taken away."  (1 Nephi 13:26)

Covenants are not required to enter the terrestrial or telestial kingdoms.  Thus taking away covenants limited the believers from entering into the celestial kingdom.  /The angel also said that -

"...after these plain and precious things were taken away it goeth forth unto all the nations of the Gentiles..."  (1 Nephi 13:29)

Thus in my mind, this took place before the Holy Bible was compiled.
