In 3 Nephi 23: 11-13, Jesus says
11And Jesus said unto them: How be it that ye have not awritten this thing, that many bsaints did arise and appear unto many and did minister unto them?
12And it came to pass that Nephi remembered that this thing had not been written. UAdd a Note
13And it came to pass that Jesus commanded that it should be awritten; therefore it was written according as he commanded.
Christ has always been insistent that records are kept. Records of everything. In heaven there is a record called the Book of Life where EVERYTHING is recorded. In Revelation we know that we will be judged out of the things written in the books.
Question: Is there a parallel between the record keeping aforementioned and the function of the Holy Ghost to "bear record" of the Father and the Son. What about the Savior "bearing record" of the Father? Ideas?
Cliff, It's not the role of the Holy Ghost to be a witness to events and actions. The role is to bear record to your spirit of the truth. The earth and the wrapping up of the whole experience, seems to need a actual witness. In the mouth of two witnesses ...

In Mormon 9:35 it appears to say, the way we rid ourselves of the sins of our brethren in this life, is to use a Prophet's record. It seems as though a Prophet is called to write the holy record for a generation. It's more than using the Atonment in our lives, the holy records must be in order. Case in point; when Joseph and the early saints were first baptized, they had to do it again with a proper record taken and then the baptism was valid. Record keeping must complete the demands of justice, and fullfill a requirement.
