Justice Posted December 29, 2008 Report Posted December 29, 2008 Awesome graph. I'll be using it.There is one other thing I'd like to add that is related, even if found elsewhere...In Alma 32 we read of the seed, and how faith is exercised.Alma gives an acronymn for seed:verse 28: swell, enlarge, enlighten, and delicious. 28 Now, we will compare the word unto a seed. Now, if ye give place, that a seed may be planted in your heart, behold, if it be a true seed, or a good seed, if ye do not cast it out by your unbelief, that ye will resist the Spirit of the Lord, behold, it will begin to swell within your breasts; and when you feel these swelling motions, ye will begin to say within yourselves—It must needs be that this is a good seed, or that the word is good, for it beginneth to enlarge my soul; yea, it beginneth to enlighten my understanding, yea, it beginneth to be delicious to me. Interesting, eh?The swelling enlarges our soul, enlightens our understanding, and becomes delicious.That's how we know it is a good seed. If you plant a seed and the fruit is not delicious, then we can say it is not a good seed. Quote
