Many insist that there were others upon the land of promise already, who were subsumed by Lehi's descendants. They tell us that we can't impose our modern sensibilities upon Nephi and assume that if there were other people then Nephi would have mentioned them. However, Nephi made this laundry list of everything they found--ready soil, beasts, animals, ores, etc. Since he made this record several years after having arrived and was listing everything helpful and of use they found, I find it a difficult position to hold that he would mention everything except the most conspicuous of all: other people.WonderBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11805920088808750722noreply@blogger.com
