Once ruins were found in Mesoamerica, it became "the place" and scholars began to try and match it up with the scriptural record. When they could not, they had to change the scriptural record, change its meaning, change its descriptions, give the record a new directional system, introduce marathon runners to equate a day and a half journey, etc. However, once committed I doubt you will find anyone changing their mind any time soon. Even the Lord had to wait for the Old Guard of the Children of Israel to die off before he could lead them to the promised land.Delhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08982095508142923740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948352943362975805.post-78711406453796971892014-11-26T08:00:13.409-08:002014-11-26T08:00:13.409-08:00If one begins a theory based on a fallacy.. it wi...If one begins a theory based on a fallacy.. it will always be a fallacy until the beginning theory changes no matter what you add to it. Bottom line is: Lehi Never Saw MesoAmerica! As long as one believes he did.. no matter what you say or add to that.. it will always come up as a fallacy.MrNiromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963388782323242196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948352943362975805.post-44601496765160003162014-11-25T20:19:40.234-08:002014-11-25T20:19:40.234-08:00Del,

So many people were demonstrably in M.A. that their theory falls apart without others being present. Unfortunately, they use their putative geography to inform the text, rather than the other way around, as you often point out.WonderBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11805920088808750722noreply@blogger.com
