Mosiah 8:13 Now Ammon said unto him: I can assuredly tell thee, O king, of a man that can atranslate the records; for he has wherewith that he can look, and translate all records that are of ancient date; and it is a gift from God. And the things are called binterpreters, and no man can look in them except he be commanded, lest he should look for that he ought not and he should perish. And whosoever is commanded to look in them, the same is called cseer.
Whenever I read the scripture above, I am always curious about what exactly one might see if they looked for things they shouldn't--in these interpreters.
I've thought about what it might be and how this might relate to today. Today we have an assortment of things available for our viewing pleasures. Could these interpreters be like a television set, with infinite channels on any topic? If so I'd probably never want to turn it off--I'd probably be like those people who get so into playing their online games, that they forget to eat and perish. Or could it be like the internet full of the potential to see an assortment of facts but also every nasty notion that comes into the minds of men, like pornography or murders? That would certainly corrupt a man to destruction. Or could it be that one might be tempted to see the minds of people, so that no one would be safe with their thoughts--cuz the seer would know everything they were thinking and would not afford people their own privacy? That could get a seer in trouble. Or could it be that a seer might look into the future and predict things to come, enabling him to profit or perhaps robbing men of their ability to choose?
What are the things? I HAVE TO KNOW!!
Oh wait. I guess I now know the end result of Ray the Seer... I would probably be the first to perish.
Heh.
