Wow! I think I may have just found one of my new favorite chapters in the Book of Mormon. All my life I have known the Book of Mormon to be true. The one thing I have always wanted to know how to do is how to tell someone else it is true and where to find a perfect examplet. I've always been able to tell people I know that it is true and it's another testament of Jesus Christ. I could always tell people the way it made me feel when I read it, but I always wanted somewhere I could go to and show someone exactly that it is another Testament of Jesus Chirst. Reading 2 Nephi 29 I found that. Here are few things that really stood out to me in this Chapter.
- "Thou fool, that shall say: A Bible, we have got a Bible, and we need no more Bible. Have you obtained a Bible save it were by the Jews?"
- "Know ye not that there are more nations than one?"
- "Wherefore murmur ye, because that ye shall receive more of my word?"
- "I am the same yesterday, today and forever"
- "And because I have spoken one word ye need not suppose that I cannot speak another; for my work is not yet finished; neither shall it be until the end of man,"
It of course would need to be the spirit to teach someone fully that the Book of Mormon is truly Another Testament of Jesus Christ. That is why when you are done reading the Book of Mormon in Moroni in Chapter 10 you are encouraged to...
"ask of God, the Eternal Father in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost."
Right before I pulled out my scriptures this morning to read this chapter I had the thought that when I was done with the Book of Mormon this time around I was going to take Moroni's challenge again and get down and ask. So it was neat to sit down and read and have to known unto me again in a different way that the Book of Mormon is true and is Another Testament of Jesus Christ that is the keystone of our religion.

I don't know how many times I've read the Book of Mormon, but I'm having that experience too - where verses I know I've read before pop out with new meaning.
That is a great point. I have not thought of chapter 29 that way before.
