Finding and matching pieces

Okay so after that last post, your going WHAT! Nice story but what are you talking about Brother B. I want to show you an example of how the pieces of the puzzle are scattered through out the scriptures.

I remember reading the Book of Acts and coming across the phrase "The Promise of the Father". Acts 1:4 Luke 24:49 I remember stopping and thinking what is the promise of the father? My initial thought was this was written before the Day of Pentecost and so he is referring to the Holy Ghost, which hadn't been given the apostles, but had been promised. So I read on thinking I had answered that question.

So in one of the reference books that I have been reading for the New Testament the author pointed to D & C 95: 8-9 which states that the promise is the endowment. I was excited to read this as I had always heard that the early members of the church had the endowment, but I wasn't familiar with the a scripture that made reference to endowment. Now I have one.

Hope you found that interesting.

Brother B
