Why Can’t God Speak English?
I received a surprising resurgence of activity from one of my oldest posts, Book of Mormon Geography. In the latest discussion, Bishop Rick asked, “Why would HF send a revelation that would not be understood?” Then he clarified it further stating, “Why would HF send a revelation to HIS “Prophet” (as opposed to any “prophet”) […]
Day 3 at MHA
John Hamer, Mike Karpowicz, and Vickie Cleverly Speck gave a very interesting history of the Strangite movement. What’s a Strangite you say? Speck filled in many details: she said that James Strang was baptized into the LDS church just 4 months prior to the death of Joseph Smith. Strang claims to have a letter from […]
Highlights of Day 2 at MHA: Trouble in Zion, Bushman, Gordon, and Bringhurst and the Awards
It’s the pits when you have to choose between sessions, and I made a difficult choice in the morning. I had wanted to attend Kathleen Flake’s session on LDS Adoption Theology, but instead attended Ken Ballentine’s documentary, Trouble in Zion. (Saints Herald has already blogged about it, and there is a Facebook page. I also […]
Pres Veazey and John Hamer: Highlights of MHA Day 1
I thought I’d give a quick rundown of my first day here at the Mormon History Association meetings here in Independence, Missouri, and tell you of some of the cool people I’ve met here. The first activity we had was to go to the Harry S Truman Library. I didn’t realize President Truman grew up […]
Mormon History Association meetings
It’s been a busy week. Last week, Summer semester started, and I am teaching 2 online math classes at the local community college, so I apologize for no post on Sunday. I am currently in Kansas City, Missouri for the Mormon History Association meetings over the next few days, so I hope to make up […]
Can Non-LDS Obtain Salvation? Of Course!
I’ve been having a heated discussion over at Christian Forums. Someone there linked to my article on Theosis. I was a bit nervous, as these types of forums can be not only heated, but strongly biased against our church. I decided to jump into the fray, and while there are some people there with some […]

Book of Mormon on the Baja
When I think of the Baja California Peninsula, I think of the Baja 1000 off-road race where people take lots of vehicles and cross the deserts in all sorts of vehicles. However, the father-son team of David and Lynn Rosenvall believe the Baja Peninsula (south of California in Mexico–its most famous city you may recognize […]
Questions About the Exodus
Sorry there was no post last week. I had planned to put this one up, but this has turned out to be one of my longest posts since my Priesthood Ban post. This post is over 6000 words (14 pages), so be forewarned. I’ve combined three different videos, so that’s why it took so long. […]
