Like liberal evolutionists, you show how their theory doesn't work and they simply throw another theory at you--it is a never ending process of denial. Of course, when your livelihood, careers, reputations, and pride are at stake, it is no wonder they take the path they do. Unfortunately, they are always on the wrong side of the scriptural record.Delhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08982095508142923740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948352943362975805.post-38709011328412888582015-08-10T12:54:44.355-07:002015-08-10T12:54:44.355-07:00Don't forget Del that they believe that Nephi ...Don't forget Del that they believe that Nephi had the directions right when he traveled from Jerusalem to the promised land.. it was during the 1000 years that the Nephites changed the compass and did their own thing. <br /><br />As one of the supporters pointed out to me... and I quote:<br /><br />"Keep in mind that Nephi’s writings are all in first person because Mormon put the small plates of Nephi directly into the plates of Mormon, so Nephi would have used Israelite cardinal directions.<br /><br />After the Nephite people lived in the new world for 1,000 years, their cardinal directions could have changed to adapt to their geography. So the directions we see from Mormon’s abridgement of the large plates would have been those of a fourth century AD Nephite."<br /><br />Now.. with an explanation like that.. can't you just see why they believe the way they do? They will do anything to keep the round peg in the square hole!MrNiromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963388782323242196noreply@blogger.com
