I really appreciate this talk. Staying out of the dark rabbit holes on the internet is so important to keep our faith strong. Besides, it's just a time waster!!
❓ Can anyone tell me why President Nelson's October 2024 talk at General Conference is not showing up on this channel? As far as i can tell it is the only only not showing up as a separate video from the conference session. I am disappointed that i have to go to other sources when i prefer to come here.
So, I'm supposed to give lesson on this in Elders Quorum Sunday. However, I have never had the scriptures as the foundation of my faith. I have a testimony of the gospel, and my faith is set upon my experiences with the Spirit which have witnessed to me what is true, and written it upon my hears. I reflect that most of the world has been illiterate, and of those nations who did read, 45 thousand different Christian denominations were produced based on their reading of scripture based faith. Moses wished that all people could be prophets and John taught the testimony of Christ was the spirit of prophecy. So, should scripture Really be the foundation of faith? I think maybe not. Support faith, and enhance faith, sure. But the foundation? Thoughts?
Yeah, but don’t you think maybe one of the reasons we have so many scriptures in the final dispensation version of Christianity is that today most everyone can read?
Scripture has always been meant to be the foundation. Adam and Eve and other righteous people who founded societies and were enlightened by inspiration were literate and taught literacy. The illiteracy or the world at large comes because of all the apostasy that every culture in every location and time fell into and they lost their skills and didn't pass them along effectively. Also, the scriptures as given in Moses' time (and the five books of Moses that were the basis for Judaism and their law and commandments were written by Moses to tell the story of the peoples and the plan of salvation before the time of Israel leaving Egypt) were meant to be heard, not read so much--Hebrews were supposed to go to school and Jesus did to some extent in order to gain the knowledge of scripture that he had, but in the synagogue during actual worship services the congregation listened to the rabbi read etc. Paul in Romans 10 mentions how faith comes by hearing...and hearing comes by the word of God. Jesus certainly knew scripture and it was foundational for Him as He lived the law of Moses perfectly and never broke a commandment, and quoted it correctly back to the devil when he quoted it misapplied to tempt Christ. Scripture is the foundation of our faith, as scripture is defined as "the word of the Lord, the will of the Lord," etc. in D&C 68. I'm sure your discussion in your meeting was great.
