| − | Matthew, have you read my comments (posted some time ago) at [[1 Ne 19:1]]-5? I engage this quite briefly there. I think you are working here at the crux of Nephi's organization of his record (a theme I can't get away from myself). The tenor of these verses seems to me to be such that one must understand Nephi to be saying that 2 Nephi 6-30 are the commanded, and therefore sacred, part of his text. The apology in these verses, then, is that one might conclude that the remainder of his writings are not sacred. He is trying to explain that the remainder is also sacred, but in a different way from the commanded portion. 1 Nephi 1-2 Nephi 5 is sacred because it is contextualization in the manner of the ancients: if 2 Nephi 6-30 speaks in a threefold manner of the atonement, 1 Nephi 1-2 Nephi 5 offer a sort of creation/fall introduction to that atonement portion. I think this is what is at play here. It has been long enough since we discussed these themes, that it might be worth resurrecting them. --[[User:Joe Spencer|Joe Spencer]] 15:44, 4 Sep 2006 (UTC)
