Now I, Nephi, did not work the timbers after the manner which was learned by men, neither did I build the ship after the manner of men; but I did build it after the manner which the Lord had shown unto me; wherefore, it was not after the manner of men. 18:2

Trivia: Why did Nephi and his brothers return to Jerusalem from the Red Sea (the first time)?

1 Nephi : Sex (2)

  1. God tells Lehi to send his sons back to Jerusalem to get some women. 7:1-2
  2. After the spirit showed Nephi the exceedingly white tree and virgin, it blathered on a bit about "the condescension of God" and whatnot. Then it told Nephi that the white virgin "is the mother of the Son of God, after the manner of the flesh." (Does this mean that God the Father had sex with Mary "after the manner of the flesh?") 11:18
