NeedleinA Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) Over the years the story of Abinadi has always been a source of strength for me. I have been able to pull from it many personal meanings in my life. Strength to stand alone. Strength to stand alone while standing for what is right/correct/true. An example of holding on to your testimony regardless of how many others around you are unrighteous and how many of your friends/family fall away from the truth. I kept the following painting taped in the front of my Book of Mormon my entire mission. Tonight while doing laundry I turned on a Book of Mormon series that I really enjoy: Book of Mormon Central - Knowhy This episode #96 referred to Mosiah 17:13 "And it came to pass that they took him (Abinadi) and bound him, and scourged his skin with faggots, yea, even unto death." It was interesting enough that I thought I would share it here for those of you who enjoy BOM studies and interesting facts. Viewing this only helps increase my appreciation for what Abinadi did and sacrificed.

Guest LiterateParakeet Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Wow, I had no idea. I've always loved Abinadi too, but this makes me think I never really appreciated his sacrifice. Great YouTube channel too, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vort Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Royal Skousen has suggested that "scourged" might have been a miscopying onto the printer's manuscript of the Book of Mormon of the original word "scorched". Since we no longer have that part of the original manuscript (is has been long destroyed), there is no way to check this theory. But Royal Skousen probably knows more than any living man about the process of the transcription and publication of the Book of Mormon and the mistakes introduced thereby. So this is a possibility to consider. zomarah and NeedleinA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
