Posts Restored – Back to the Present

Many of you have noticed a blast from the past on my blog.  Back in Feb 2013, my host server crashed and I had to back up my blog and try to restore it.  I picked WordPress.com, thinking that was a good choice.  Well, it didn’t restore all my posts–I was missing about 150 of […]

Testing Book of Mormon Geography Theories

I’ve posted previously on the various BoM geography theories, and I have to admit, it is one of my favorite topics.  Very few Mormons realize how diverse some of the various theories are.  Mormon Times recently ran an article on the various theories, and gave some criteria for evaluating them properly. So, which of these […]

NY Geography – Part 5

Ok, I’m ready to lay this to rest.  It doesn’t seem to generate much interest, so here is my final post about my review of http://www.bookofmormongeography.info I thought I’d post the more egregious errors here, instead of going section by section as I had originally intended to do.  I just checked the site, and got […]

“Amazing” NY Geography – Part 4

Here is Part 4 of a review of http://www.bookofmormongeography.info “Amazing” is a new section, which didn’t exist a few months ago when I began researching this theory.  The author tries to make the Book of Mormon match NY geography, instead of first coming up with an internal model, and seeing if NY fits.  He makes […]

Book of Mormon Geography Errors – Part 3

(Un)Welcome to NY geography Theory – Part 2

Here’s part 2 of my review of the website http://www.bookofmormongeography.info/. I thought I’d go over the “Welcome” section. First of all, there is a very interesting perspective, mentioned in bold on the website. **The doctrine of the Mormon Church has no basis in The Book of Mormon, and the two should be held separate.** That […]

Book of Mormon – NY Geography Theory – Part 1

Ok, for those who follow my blog (both of you 🙂 ), you’ll notice that I have an interest in Book of Mormon Geography.  While I am open to many theories, so far the only one that has generated any interest is a theory placing the Book of Mormon lands in the New York area.  […]

Stone Box found, just like Golden Plates

I am on an email list for the Nephi Project, and I get some interesting information. This is a group that does most research in Saudi Arabia, and has uncovered some interesting discoveries supporting the Book of Mormon. They also release information that others might find interesting for new world sites. In the latest email […]
