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

4 Nephi

 We read that after the Savior's visit to the Americas, that -

"...they had all things common among them; therefore there were not rich and poor, bond and free, but they were all made free, and partakers of the heavenly gift."  (4 Nephi 1:3)

In my mind, all things common does not suggest common ownership and any form of marxism.  It suggests to me that the if there was something common that all possessed, the people were so good that they would give of themselves that all would have.  I specifically not that the footnote suggests the law of consecration.
