I think your chronology may be a little skewed. And who's to say Paul didn't copy Moroni, or any other prophet or apostle for that matter?<br /><br />Regardless, it matters not who wrote what passage of scripture, or when, since scripture comes "not by the will of man, but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost" (2 Pet. 1:21). <br /><br />Latter-day Saints believe that scripture, including both the Bible and the Book of Mormon, is inspired of God, through the Holy Ghost. Consequently, the Holy Ghost is the author and there certainly are no restrictions on how many times he may inspire righteous men to say or write the same thing.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13268015210205721725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1938111942632962223.post-3381219706476909632011-07-22T16:47:32.586-05:002011-07-22T16:47:32.586-05:00The real question is how Moroni quotes 1 Corinthia...The real question is how Moroni quotes 1 Corinthians HUNDREDS of years BEFORE it was written!!<br /><br />"...seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things."

However, I feel the same way you do about several passages, where I know them to be true probably as well as those that originally penned those words. <br /><br />Thanks for your thoughts.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13268015210205721725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1938111942632962223.post-48788706723255480122010-02-14T16:18:30.038-06:002010-02-14T16:18:30.038-06:00I think in some way as we earnestly strive to unde...I think in some way as we earnestly strive to understand, ponder and apply the scriptures to our lives we can have that experience. I don't have the witness from the Holy Spirit about every passage of scripture but certainly have had experiences about some of it. I don't know if that makes sense but I have had a witness about certain aspects of the scripture that I have felt were just for me at the time I needed it. And now when I teach a lesson or share my testimony on that thing, I feel as if they are my words too.<br />My hope is as I get wiser and older I will have more and more experiences like that to draw on when I am in need. <br />Thanks for the post. It helped me think of things in a new way.reesnoreply@blogger.com
