"How do you scourge the skin with faggots, and what's the difference between scourge and scorch? They're the same word, the same word exactly. Scourge, scorch, scotch, score-it means to damage the skin of someone. Our word scratch is the same thing. And you have the very same thing in Semitic languages. Harash is the Hebrew word for scratch and for to plow. Harataha is the Arabic word for 'mar the surface, engrave, make a mark on something, or plow the ground.' They all have that same word that means 'to scorch, to scourge, to scratch.' When his skin started to curl up, in other words, he said this. It's interesting. The faggots are burning brands. They burn, and we think of scourging as with a scourge, as 'to scourge with a whip.' But they're the same word exactly. They scourged him and scorched him-in other words, he was being fried. It's not a comfortable way to die, either." (Teachings of the Book of Mormon, Lecture 36, p. 109)*
-Satan has a lot of things up his sleeve and he will make sure that righteous people suffer for trying to do God's work. To torcher someone to this extent is awful and I can't imagine (with my guilt conscience) being able to do this to someone.
-Abinadi "sealed the truth of his words by his death" what are ways today that we can stand up for the truth and allow others to see what we believe in?
Blessing- I don't have to worry about my life when I live what I believe.
