All other dates in the sectarian world are likely inaccurate as we have illustrated numerous times and, in fact, wrote a comment in answer to this very fact recently that in using sectarian dates, it provides those who believe in evolution and an Old Earth a point of relationship to our article information, etc. Dates of the Book of Mormon are those used in the footnote comments of the scriptural record. The date of Lehi and Mulek leaving Jerusalem are based on the Old Jewish/Hebrew information of Zedekiah's reign.Delhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08982095508142923740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948352943362975805.post-53998936222876993282018-01-29T12:15:11.280-08:002018-01-29T12:15:11.280-08:00To put dates on scriptural events is in itself usi...To put dates on scriptural events is in itself using sectarian history. Because there is no definitive date for anything in the scriptures (except ages of people) to claim that one date is truth because it is more accepted than another is forcing your own opinion into scriptural accounts. Also, you have previously mentioned that the common technique to date historic events and peoples was inaccurate. And if that is true it would invalidate all prehistorical dates.<br /><br />The only certainity that can be had with biblical dates are the time between events and people. For example the Book of Mormon uses multiple ways of measuring time: time from leaving Jerusalem, time since judges reigned, time after the birth of Christ, and maybe a couple more. To even postulate dates for biblical events requires people to use secular history to give them a time frame. Biblical dates come from non-judeochristian sources (i.e. Babylonian or Assyrian kings or Egyptian pharohs) and everyone knows that non-scripture based history is recorded to fit certain political ideas or rulers' legacies.Tysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11967879816906548535noreply@blogger.com
