(Aren't they trying to prove a point in favor of God and the gospel?) If Rod is so fraudulent why does Deseret Book carry several of his books YET they DON'T carry "Visions of Glory" or anything by Rowe or Sosa.DesertWonderer wrote: ↑May 12th, 2017, 2:45 pmMeldrum knowingly uses fraudulent information to prove his point (i.e. sell books and DVDs) so just how excellent of a book could it be?kittycat51 wrote: ↑May 12th, 2017, 10:27 amI am going to quote from an excellent book I have called "Exploring the Book of Mormon in America's Heartland" by Rod Meldrum.Durzan wrote: ↑May 12th, 2017, 12:28 am The main problem with the heartland model would be the weather. With the exceptions of areas around the warmer waters to the south, winter gets pretty cold in the US... even in the more southern latitudes (though snow may not fall there). The fact that it is mentioned that Lamanites go to war in loincloths is indicative of the climate being fairly warm year round, and the BoM makes no mention of winter or summer. Would you really expect someone to go around in a loincloth during the winter months, unless it was warm year round?
Some of the key artifacts his whole argument rests on are forgeries.
He uses an incorrect version of the Zelph story that JS later edited taking out the references to Zelph being a lamanaite.
Micmac was not a native writting systems as he claims
...I could give many other examples but its not worth the effort.
