			<description><![CDATA[ <p>I have tried to teach my son, Geoff, that he should get some scriptures every day.  He asked me to email them to him, so he could read them on his cell
phone.  I thought I might start posting them here also. So we all could get some scripture daily. This was the first one, back in April.  I will post more of
them as the days go by.  But if you see no scripture for the day....you may post one.  You may comment on them....but I am not seeking long discussions.  Just
a small meal to get us... ]]></description>

			<link>http://hopeofzion55953.yuku.com/topic/2683/t/High-Priests.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ There has been plenty of debate on the office of High Priest since the RLDS break up in the 80&#39;s, coming mainly from the conspiratorial murmurs of Oliver
Cowdery, after he was put out of the Church, and from the research published on the &quot;changing of the revelations.&quot;
<br>
<br>
Some believe High Priests in the New Testament, or Restored Church were an invention of man.
<br>
<br>
I asked God about High Priests, and the answer I received was as follows:

<br>
<br>
I have just read some information on the Joint conference of restoration Branches and the entry in Wikipedia in the subject of the Restoration branches. Also I
have been looking through the D&amp;C about the subject of the first presidency. Some use the first presidency and some do not. I am of a group who does not
use this office. I would like to study with others to see where they do or do not believe this should be in use today. I know from the... ]]></description>

			<link>http://hopeofzion55953.yuku.com/topic/2570/t/Works-vs-Faith.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ I continue to be amazed by how the Scriptures can suddenly open up something in such a way as to make you see something in a new light, and cause you to
realize your presumptions in the past were tainted by your own blindness.
<br>
<br>
Something I used to struggle with was Paul&#39;s argument of faith vs works.
<br>
<br>
Today, I was reading in Romans and realized he isn&#39;t actually making an argument against works, as in our actions.
<br>
He isn&#39;t saying it doesn&#39;t matter what... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I have been considering the parable of the prodigal son.  It seems to me the two sons may represent the Gentiles and the Children of Israel, like in the
parable of the olive tree.
<br>
<br>
And....that the older is the gentiles, and the younger...yet to come back...is the children of Israel.
<br>
<br>
The gentiles are older....going back to Adam.
<br>
The children of Israel are younger....only going back to Jacob/Israel.

I believe many gentiles will have problems with them coming... ]]></description>

<br>
If we take the statement:     Israel had <strong>Saul</strong> for a king.
<br>
<br>
and take the Hebrew translation of the the word &quot;Saul&quot;......&quot;asked&quot;.....and replace it in the statement.....we get:

Israel had <strong>asked</strong> for a king.   Which is the story of how he became king........  <img alt="" src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/posticons/pi_smile.gif"> ]]></description>
