Every week this month sacrament talks have been on reading scriptures. Well anyway the woman said a GA said that Satan gets us in our scripture study and wants us to read the scriptures through from start to finish in order. I found that odd since I've always read the scriptures from start to finish, but she said thats what Satan wants us to do with our scriptures and what we should be doing is looking up a topic in the topical guide and going through the scriptures until we find something that calls to our spirit. I guess I've been reading scriptures the way Satan wants this whole time. Having re-read this thread. What GA saiid hat reading from start to finish is inspired by Satan? It would seem to me that the idea that reading the scriptures in any way is inspired by Satan, is a statement inspired by Satan. He would rather we never open our scriptures at all. Also President Benson back in the 1980' s when he challenged all to read and rediscover, The Book of Mormon, which greatly enriched my life would (by this same logic) was also inspired by Satan. Each time we read the scriptures, and by the way each year be it OT, NT, BoM or D&C is always from start to finish, with little change.
