Every answer can be found in the scriptures????

For me, using the general principles of loving God and one another in approaching
human interactions and questions of ethics is the most effective means of combining
religious thought with our actions.

Nephi wrote:I think this is something inherantly wrong with scriptures. People search them for answers to questions, and with such a large volume of data, one can certainly find not only an answer, but the answer they want within them. For instance, one can use Jonathan and David from the Old Testament as support for Gay Marriage if one reads it as such.

So to search scriptures for answers can bring bad results especially if a specific answer is desired.

Exactly! You are quite wise, Nephi, despite those mega-doses! :)
