For those of you of other faiths, you may have heard of the Book of Mormon. Well, I read from that book of scripture every morning. I read from it because I know through the Spirit of God that it is true and the words of that book and the Spirit of God renew me daily.
There are many interesting scriptures in that book. Here is one relating to liberty:
Alma 8:16-17
16 And behold, I am sent to command thee that thou return to the city of Ammonihah, and preach again unto the people of the city; yea, preach unto them. Yea, say unto them, except they repent the Lord God will destroy them.
17 For behold, they do study at this time that they may destroy the liberty of thy people, (for thus saith the Lord) which is contrary to the statutes, and judgments, and commandments which he has given unto his people.
The people were studying to "destroy the liberty of [the] people." That was their sin. Wow.
Something to think about.
I know it's late, but I've been delinquent for a day or two and I couldn't go to bed with this scripture twirling around my head.
