0:00.0 | Hello there. My name is Tyler Griffin and this is Scripture Study Insights by Scripture Central. |
0:08.0 | Today, Mosiah chapters 11 through 17. And in these chapters, we basically cover the ministry of one of my |
0:17.7 | favorite scripture characters, the prophet of Binidai. We know so little about |
0:22.6 | him. And yet he left an amazing legacy of some of the most profound doctrines and teachings |
0:30.8 | regarding Jesus Christ. And he becomes this beautiful Christ-like figure who is willing to lay down his life for the |
0:42.4 | cause of Christ. |
0:44.5 | It's a beautiful story. |

1:47.0 | B.Y.U. It is called What is Truth? And in there, he has so many beautiful examples |
1:55.0 | of what truth is. But I just want to read this one little paragraph that is extremely relevant for our |
2:03.2 | scripture chapters today that we're going to cover. He talks about how human beings, we have |
2:09.6 | this human nature regarding how we perceive truth and will cling to things that aren't true |
2:15.5 | often and it will shape our entire society. And then |
2:19.3 | he goes on to say, part of the reason for poor judgment comes from the tendency of mankind |
2:27.3 | to blur the line between belief and truth. We too often confuse belief with truth, thinking that because something makes |
2:37.0 | sense or is convenient, it must be true. Conversely, we sometimes don't believe truth or |
