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

D&C 84

 Regarding the Oath and Covenant of the priesthood, I find myself intrigued with the doctrine - 

"And also all they who receive this priesthood receive me, saith the Lord..."  (Doctrine and Covenants 84:35)

In my mind, receiving suggests accepting something.  The Lord then explains - 

"For he that receiveth my servants receiveth me..."  (Doctrine and Covenants 84:36)

Which suggests to me receiving something from His servants or priesthood bearers.  Thus in my mind the Lord Oath and Covenant includes all those receiving ordinances and making covenants through the priesthood.
