0:00.0 | Hello there. I'm Tyler Griffin and this is Scripture Study Insights by Scripture Central. |
0:07.0 | Today, Second Nephi chapters 1 and 2. It's kind of fun to only have two chapters where we can |
0:14.5 | dive deep and explore more in depth. Before we begin with the Scriptures, the concept, the Scripture study |
0:25.6 | idea that I wanted to share today is this idea of are we just reading the Scriptures |
0:35.3 | to learn the history or to learn the stories of these people, or does that |
0:40.2 | become a means to the end of coming to understand God better, to discover attributes of the |
