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

2 Samuel 12

 After David had had an affair with Bathsheba and murdered Uriah, the Old Testament records that Nathan said - 

"...The Lord also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die."  (2 Samuel 12:13)

But the Prophet Joseph Smith corrected - 

"...hath not put away thy sin that thou shalt not die."  (2 Samuel 12:13 note b)

With mean in Hebrew - 

"...hath caused to pass; i.e., he was not punished immediately by death; but he did not escape punishment"  (2 Samuel 12:13 note b)
