I taught a lesson on scripture study today, and in preparing I did some searching at lds.org for material. I also rediscovered The Church’s online scriptures. The search function is really handy. You can type in a reference, such as Alma 7:11, and it give you a link that you can click to bring up that scripture, highlighted. Type in a word like, faith, and it brings up 368 results for you. In sunday school today it was mentioned that Noah was Gabriel. “Is that in the scriptures anywhere?” our teacher asked. “It’s in the Doctrine and Covenants,” a class member assured him. Well, actually, if you search for “noah gabriel“ it apparently isn’t. Expand your search to include scriptures and study helps however, and you find 5 results that explain that Joseph Smith did teach that Noah and Gabriel are one and the same. Cool stuff.
UPDATE: Apparently they have made some updates and changed their links a bit. I’ve tried to update them above, but the Noah Gabriel demo doesn’t quite work the same anymore—I can’t get it to not search the study helps, but you can see that none of the results are in the scriptures. Oh well, cool to see they are constantly improving this!
