2 Nephi 23-24

(February 4, 2015)
                I wonder about the process of collecting names – I think there is significance there that we might not realize.  Satan, Lucifer, the Devil, Diablo, the Accuser, the Adversary, the Tempter, and so forth – Satan has acquired a large number of names during the duration of this Earth.  Likewise, Christ is known as Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, and so forth.


                Are we acquiring names in our mortal journey?  Is this an element that is somehow lost in our modern society?  It is so hard to discern when we are abandoning the foolishness of the past and when we are allowing our present foolishness to blind us to the wisdom of the past (and this is probably a more significant issue than the idea of names).
