OT brain dump

Mormon beliefs are justifiable.

Class was canceled due to funeral but usually uses that class the practice.

Read book by Jeffrey R. Holland "Christ and the New Covenant"

I was thinking a similar thing about the Book of Mormon ought to be well loved by Christians if they ever read it regardless of who supposedly wrote it.

Message of Nahum - like Ninevah, remember that repentance should last longer. It was destroyed.

People even say it never existed. And it's greatness was exaggerated.

Assyria and Babylon - make up present day Iraq.

Story of Manasseh is hard to believe. He was wicked and it says he repented in 2Kings.

Josiah became king when he was 8. As cleaning things out he finds scripture and .loves it and shares it with others and earns a blessing for it.

In war the people had to decide to with side with the people or the prophet to figure out who to side with Egypt or Babylon. They liked the sins of Egypt more.

Only 2 good kings, probably why we give power associated with Kings a bad wrap.

Hezekiah and Josiah. Josiah is the one who relied on scriptures because he needed advice.

Even our "proclamation" supposed to be authority of it's own from God, uses scripture references.

Refuted mulek, and it is impossible for a 34 yr old to have had a 20 yr old son.

Ordinance Scott Card would not give in to the worldly preferances on like say same sex marriage. This is commendable because it shows a belief that is firm enough to withstand ridicule.

If you seek information ask the one himself. Pray to Jesus, how is praying to the correct Jesus different? If that can be answered substantially it will tell what to believe.
