1 Maccabees

I’m not going to write much about this. I feel like I’m reading JR Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. I’m having a super hard time getting into it. Honestly, it makes me think of D&C 91 where the spirit will tell you what is truth. When I read Esdras, even though there were a small handful of things that were meh. This book is seriously not doing it for me. I have not felt the spirit or enlightened one bit.

I’m only about half through the first book. I may not even finish it.

D&C 91
1 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you concerning the Apocrypha—There are many things contained therein that are true, and it is mostly translated correctly;
2 There are many things contained therein that are not true, which are interpolations by the hands of men.
3 Verily, I say unto you, that it is not needful that the Apocrypha should be translated.
4 Therefore, whoso readeth it, let him understand, for the Spirit manifesteth truth;
5 And whoso is enlightened by the Spirit shall obtain benefit therefrom;
6 And whoso receiveth not by the Spirit, cannot be benefited. Therefore it is not needful that it should be translated. Amen
