Scripture Central: LDS Come Follow Me & Church History

Summary

The discussion centers on the historical meanings of the terms "silk" and "linen" at the time the Book of Mormon was published. According to the 1828 Webster's Dictionary, linen primarily referred to clothing made from flax or hemp, but it could also describe white or pale fabrics, suggesting a broader interpretation of the term during that period.

The ambiguity surrounding the term "silk" is also highlighted, noting that while it may refer to true Chinese silk, it likely encompassed Mediterranean silk derived from wild moths. This context implies that the references to silk and linen in the Book of Mormon may not be as definitive as some interpretations suggest. The conversation then shifts to an exploration of textiles in the New World, setting the stage for a deeper examination of the materials used in that era.

In the synoptic gospels, we read of the story of Jesus healing the woman who had an issue of blood. The woman had tried unsuccessfully for twelve long years to be healed. According to the Law of Moses, because she constantly was bleeding she was considered ritually unclean, and thus should not touch anyone else as they would become unclean as well. She also was unable to worship at the Temple as she was always in a state of ritual impurity. The healing touch of Jesus restored her to everyday life and temple worship, the same blessing He can do for us.Uploaded 07-02-15Sign up for email notifications for new videos here: https://bit.ly/2uV4vloFor more videos on the Life of Christ: https://bit.ly/2FgnMlSFor the text of this video: http://redeemer-of-israel.blogspot.com/2015/02/tzitzit-and-healed-woman.htmlSpecial thanks to:Appian Media for allowing me to use some of their beautiful video footage of Israel, find more about their amazing projects here: https://appianmedia.org/If you would like to help translate the subtitles visit: http://www.youtube.com/timedtext_video?v=zwwITGLlcyM&ref=share© 2019 Daniel Smith, Messages of Christ YouTube ChannelNo portion of this video may be reproduced, re-uploaded, or copied without prior permission.The products (services) offered by Messages of Christ are neither made, provided, approved nor endorsed by Intellectual Reserve, Inc. or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
