Tip of the Day, May 10

May 10 – Heb. 11:8, 13; “By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went…These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.”

Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance tells me the word Christ isn’t in the Old Testament.  This would lead me to believe it’s a Greek word, which it is, and that it would be out of context if located in the Hebrew literature. The time frame for the book of Enos is off.  Enos lived in 420 BC. Ask the Mormon in your life why this word would show up in the BC era of the Book of Mormon.

Enos 1:5-8; “And there came a voice unto me, saying: Enos, thy sins are forgiven thee, and thou shalt be blessed. And I, Enos, knew that God could not lie; wherefore, my guilt was swept away. And I said: Lord, how is it done? And he said unto me: Because of thy faith in Christ, whom thou hast never before heard nor seen. And many years pass away before he shall manifest himself in the flesh wherefore, go to, thy faith hath made thee whole.”
