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

Alma 61

I noticed in Pahoran's response to Moroni, he provides two important principles.  First Pahoran counsels -

In other words, the Holy Ghost inspires freedom.  And thus concerning freedom, Pahoran responds -

"...I was somewhat worried concerning what we should do, whether it should be just in us to go against our brethren.
20 But ye have said, except they repent the Lord hath commanded you that ye should go against them."  (Alma 61:19–20)


Very interesting in the cause of freedom.  But I note that only if they -

"...resist with our words..."  (Alma 61:14)
