When I was reading the article about Senator Hatch and the Hannuka song he wrote, it struck me
that the author called him a "philo-Semite" like so many Mormons. But this chapter explains that
phenomenon. What a beautiful doctrine to thank the Jews for the Bible, rather than accusing a whole
people for the death of Christ. It's such a Christ-like and Godly doctrine, it makes me happy to just think
about it.
Also I love how Nephi lays it out that it makes perfect sense that there would be more scriptures
because God talks to all of His children wherever they are, if they will listen. Of course there would be
other scriptures!
This scripture (verse 11) also seems to be reinforcing the conference talk we just had about writing
down revelation we recieve. Here God is telling us that He commands all people to write the words
He speaks to them. I feel a strong impression that is something I need to do better. Not just when I'm
writing in this scripture journal, but whatever the impressions may be. I'm grateful we just had a lesson
on that talk, to remind me of the promptings I felt as I listened to it the first time.
