I love Alma 32. You do not have to be a scholar to truly feel the spirit of Alma. I've known the truthfulness of the BofM for 65 years, ever since my grandfather first started to read to me. I am so appreciative of my membership.

Not as much insight as the Book of Abraham!

I particularly enjoyed this line: "Faith is not a perfect knowledge. Faith is what perfects knowledge."

Great insight!

It can't be a Mormon theological conference. Mormonism does not have a theology. Theologicians do not exist at BYU. Religious teachers, yes. But theologians? No.

Why? In Mormonism the secrets of God are revealed. There is no speculation about the here after, the many kingdoms, the whatever. Sterling M. McMurrin said that many many years ago. He was asked about Mormon theology, and he replied, "There isn't any." Mormons know the truth, and thus there is no need to study God, etc.

Wow, terminology is important. no? Mormons, stay away from people who talk about theology. That topic is saved for the Christians. Mormons have religious teachers, not theologians.

While a lot of knowledge has been restored about God and His kingdom, we should never stop studying. Not religion, God, or the Gospel, its a lifetime achivement that we all strive for.

You are so right! We should never stop learning all that we can. That's something that we take with us to the next life.

What wonderful insight. Rich blessings are in store.
The Book of Abraham is full of insights as well. Especially when you examine it very closely.
