Consider the following principles or aspects of quality
scripture study listed to the right.
Edit the “Rank Order” column on the left (numerically, with
the numbers 1-11) based on what you
feel is most important
to the least important. Which are most likely to help you to
have a quality scripture study experience? If you feel it’s easier
to re-order the list on the right, feel free to do so, listing the
most important ones at the top.
Write a 100–200 word summary of what you learned from the
four videos listed about the scriptures.
Reading the scriptures is more than just reading the
scriptures, but it is about all of the layers that can be
unraveled within. We can’t be casual when reading or else we
won’t understand the importance of what is really being said.
When the printing process was going on there was a man
named Obadiah Dogberry Jr. who stole pages from the
scriptures and ridiculed them in his own paper. The crazy thing
about this is that when looking back at the scriptures taken
from the articles, they were so accurate to our version of the
Bible now. Elder Todd Christofferson said that there are so many scriptures available for us. He pushes us to read all of the scriptures we are given and often because he knows we were given all of the scriptures so we always had something to inspire us.
