cdw3423 Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 For those who haven't seen it yet, Elder Nelson gave a challenge to study the 2200 scriptures about Jesus Christ listed in the Topical Guide. https://www.lds.org/blog/i-studied-more-than-2200-scriptures-about-the-savior-in-six-weeks-here-is-a-little-of-what-i-learned?lang=eng I wanted to see if I could organize the information in a way to make it easier to study. Being a programmer I wrote some code to parse the 50 something TG entries about Christ and save all of the references in a database. I found 2227, however only 1648 were unique. So I created a table that has a row for each of the unique reference grouped by the topic they came from. I thought I would share that in case anyone else might find it useful. http://ldsgeo.org/ElderNelsonChallengeOnSteroids.php Chris W. skalenfehl, CV75, Sunday21 and 1 other 4 Quote
Sunday21 Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) @cdw3423Good for you! Great challenge. Edited March 11, 2017 by Sunday21 Quote
zil Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 I like the initial link which includes all the relevant verses within a given chapter, highlighted, so that I can read everything in one chapter if I want (rather than having to jump back and forth for individual verses).

pam Posted March 12, 2017 Report Posted March 12, 2017 We got the challenge in a class I took regarding Elder Nelson's challenge to some seminary students some time back. Take a fresh Book of Mormon and hi-light everywhere that Christ is mentioned. There are a variety of ways he is mentioned. Elder Nelson states that he is mentioned on the average every 1.7 verses.
