2nd Nephi : 32
PoeticIntensity
This chapter, to me, is all about following the Spirit.
Verses 3 and 5 are among the most potent in all of scripture.
"Feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do."
"...the Holy Ghost ... will show unto you all things what ye should do."
Doesn't get any clear...

2nd Nephi : 31 - Language
PoeticIntensity
All the other times I've read this chapter, it's been mostly about the whole baptism thing. Now, I don't discredit the sermon given about Christ being baptised, and the necessity for our being baptized to make it to heaven...
...But this time, something else struck me.
Ya know... I love having chats with people about the Gospel.&nbs...

2nd Nephi : 30
PoeticIntensity
The beginning verses of this scripture were the ones of focus today.
For the past 2 chapters (or more), the Lord has been chastising the Gentiles, should they fall into the pride cycle and not repent.
The beginning 2 verses of this chapter basically says, "even though the Gentiles were bad, don't get on your high-horse, thinking you're any...

How Grateful I Am
PoeticIntensity
I know a lot of the posts this year have been on the spiritual topic, but, I write about the events of my life, and so I guess this is what ya get.
Today was awesome.
If you've read my previous posts, you'll know that today I sang in the choir, gave a talk in sacrament meeting, and taught the 15-16 year old doctrine class.
It was wonderful.

2nd Nephi : 29

Wow... What a testimony of the Book of Mormon, and of the prophets who wrote it.
This whole chapter is a rebuke against people who don't accept the Book of Mormon. Reading chapters like this strengthens my testimony concerning the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. I mean, what are the chances, if the Book of Mormon were false,...

Well.... From the first eight verses of this chapter, I could write pages. The first verse itself is a great testament to the veracity of Jacob 4:13, which states that the Holy Ghost "speaketh the truth and lieth not".
Because we all can be under the influence of the Holy Ghost (and worthy members have the opportunity to ha...

Imagine for a moment you had no idea about the atonement of Christ.

In the beginning of this chapter, I didn't realize that the book to which the verses were referring was the Book of Mormon.

2nd Nephi : 26 - Part 2
PoeticIntensity
Ya know, I sure am glad that Nephi wrote verse 22 of this chapter. In all of scripture, this is the only chapter which uses the word "flaxen" to describe the way Satan tempts us.
Flax is a fiber from a plant which is used to make linen. Linen isn't known for its strength.
Satan indeed does "lead us" with very ent...

The first thing that came to mind was Lehi was the leader of the family. He was the director and it was his d...
