I wish I could remember where I read the story so that I could quote it. The question came up when is a prophet a prophet. The debate as I recall lasted for several days. Joseph did not enter the debate but let others argue the point. The points were that a prophet is a prophet at all times and everything he says is from the Lord. Another side took the position that a prophet is only a prophet when the lord speaks to him. Finally the question was asked of Joseph Smith. When is a prophet a prophet. Answer - Joseph said that a prophet is a prophet ONLY when GOD is speaking to him. In other words Joseph may well have believed that Cumorah was where he found the plates. What you've found as well as others is that if Joseph believed this it was not inspired. Prophets can have mistaken notions because they are human. Joseph said as much in the debate. iterryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836783863542965577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948352943362975805.post-47384225740350426242015-12-31T09:42:43.015-08:002015-12-31T09:42:43.015-08:00Today I completed reading your blog. Several month...Today I completed reading your blog. Several months ago, I started with your first entry from Jan 2010 and have read every entry up to today's. I have cross referenced every scripture and separately researched many points such as the age of the Andes, carbon dating, the Great Wall of Peru, and many others. I have looked up dozens of locations and archeological sites on google earth and looked at the satellite images of ruins and ancient cities under water. I do not believe everything I read and attempt to independently verify whatever I can; especially through the scriptures and official church statements. In over 2,000 posts, I cannot find any error of logic. I cannot find any misstatement or overstatement of scripture. Everything makes sense to me and seems to be in alignment with the Book of Mormon. <br />A few years back, I read many of the books published about Book of Mormon lands. I was fascinated with the ruins found in Mesoamerica and thought Book of Mormon lands were likely in Mesoamerica. But some things never made sense including the changing of cardinal directions. Your work not only shows far more evidence of ancient ruins in South America but also explains how Mesoamerica was populated during Book of Mormon times by those who went north on Hagoth's ships. <br /><br />If the Church ever makes an official statement indicating where the Book of Mormon lands were, I will believe that. Until then, there seems to be overwhelming evidence that Lehi landed in Chile and the Book of Mormon lands were in Peru and Equador. I know the Book of Mormon is the word of God because the Holy Spirit has borne witness of this to me many times over many years. But learning more of where the lands were and what ruins still exist brings the Book of Mormon more to life for me. I now read the Book of Mormon with more intensity and interest in every word as I picture where they lived and the circumstances they lived under. <br /><br />Thank you for your dedicated work. I have loved learning of the ancient ruins, carbon dating, the Great Wall of Peru, the defensive structures such as Kuelap, the sunken city in Lake Titicaca, the tower in Cusco, and much more. I am now starting on your book "Lehi Never Saw Mesoamerica" and enjoying the well documented, logical, easy to read flow. <br /><br />Thank you for your great work!DavidKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17746832520246273307noreply@blogger.com
