Thought of the Day about Mormonism and Book of Mormon Authors

1 Nephi 1:3; “And I know that the record which I make is true; and I make it with mine own hand; and I make it according to my knowledge.”

The focus of this verse is on the author. I was thinking about a statement my pastor made a few years back about the authors of the Bible.

He said that half the Old Testament never gives clues about authorship.

So while thinking about my pastor’s statement and reading this verse in the Book of Mormon it caused me to wonder…

Where in the Bible do we see anything resembling Nephi’s statement and why was he so hung up on making sure you know his message is true?

Why does every single author in the Book of Mormon identify himself and why was it so important to them that everyone should know their name?

Why isn’t Nephi “making it” according to God’s knowledge? Is the message he has to share from him or from God?
