Day One Entry: Jan 26, 2015

Seminary journal doctrine and covenants section 77

We talked about today how doctrine and covenants is a question and answer section between God and the Prophet Joseph Smith. we talked about how this type of Revelation is it reserved for prophets only, but is open to all that will critically think and ask heavenly father questions and seek further answers. we discussed the different verses and the different questions and talked about the symbolism that exist in the book of Revelation and throughout doctrine and covenants section 77. Pres. Jones, from our stake presidency, came in and talked about symbolism a little bit as he compared the American flag and it's symbolism with how God uses symbolism.

Questions:
Why does God use symbolism in the Scriptures?
How can symbolism teach us better than simply simple words?
what is the process of gaining a revelation? In the current duty to God program, what is the process the prophet and apostles have laid out for us?
