Y Religion Episode 107 - I Am” Statements in the Book of Mormon (Joshua M. Matson)
Throughout the Book of Mormon, the Savior pronounces fifty-three “I am” statements as he details his purpose and declares his divine identity. In 2 Nephi 29: 8 - 9 he explains that he does so for a particular reason, “Wherefore, I speak the same words unto one nation like unto another. […]. And I do this that I may prove unto many that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever […]” (emphasis added). In this next episode Dr. Joshua M. Matson, assistant professor of ancient scripture, discusses his recent article “Coming to Know Christ through the ‘I Am’ Statements in the Book of Mormon” and explains the significant presence of the “I Am” statements in the Bible and Restoration scriptures. He outlines how the Savior utilizes two forms of “I am” statements-metaphorical (depicting what he does) and absolute (his titles or depicting who he is)-throughout the scriptures to proclaim his role and character. Professor Matson explains that the “I am” statements in the Book of Mormon serve as another witness of Jesus Christ, alongside similar “I am” statements presented in the Old and New Testaments, and that they are spoken by both the premortal Jehovah and the resurrected Jesus Christ. In studying the “I am” statements we may come to know the Savior in his own words and through his own perspective.
Each year, Brigham Young University Religious Education professors produce hundreds of publications on subjects related to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This podcast brings this research into one place to enlighten the everyday seeker of truth. Interviewing the author, we discuss why the study was done, why it matters, and why the professor chooses to be both a scholar and a disciple. This is Y Religion: Research to Enlighten Your Mind.

For thousands of years the Sabbath as an institution has remained a core aspect of religious life, and people have constantly fought to keep it holy.

How might rituals of neighboring religions inform Latter-day Saint experiences with making the S...

    They may doubt but here in Africa, most of believe in the first vision because of the book of Mormon. I don't think anyone would fabricate the book. The first vision also gives a chance to know that God cares about the children of earth just like in the Bible times. We definitely need our own privilege in having God interact with us through prophets

    I’m grateful for this explanation of how simple The Doctrine of Christ is and that God said it was complete. I was misled my entire life to believe that making temple covenants through ordinances and following the prophet was what Christ wanted me to follow. Now I can focus on Christ alone and disregard all the other false teachings of man.

    Maybe you guys should talk to a Protestant about being born again. The Protestant process for being "Born Again" closely parallels Alma's questions. For icing on the cake Alma uses the phrase "Born Again".

    Being born again is in your heart accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior and committing in your heart to keep his commandments. There is then a spiritual change that takes place and the heart is ready to accept the Holy Ghost who becomes your companion. The commitment takes place in your heart and spiritually you are born again.

    Thank you for this most wonderful discussion because Pres. Nelson invites us to read and study Section 109, that within this dedicatory prayer we learn that this prayer is more than a description of what a temple is. I love the BYU religious discussions, so thankful for learning.

    💛Thank you… Fasting for those who are seeking truth that they may begin the covenant path through baptism and confirmation with the gift of the Holy Spirit. To be one of God’s “chosen” people is available to any who desires to choose to follow Jesus Christ. And to remain chosen into eternity is to endure to the end of mortality on that covenant path. What an incredible comfort to have such peace and hope available to us that we can return to Heavenly Father’s presence to go no more out but live in never ending joy 💛
