“Mine Everlasting God”

John Tvedtnes notes that Joseph Smith is said to have indicated that the name Ahman was the title of God the Father (see 2 Nephi 4:35), while Jesus is called "Son Ahman." Old Testament prayers end simply with the word Amen (= confirmed, true), and hence in the name (title) of Jesus Christ. [John Tvedtnes, "Faith and Truth," in Journal of Book of Mormon Studies, Vol. 3, No. 2, Fall 1994 Fall, pp. 115] [See the commentary on Alma 32:21]
