long ago ideas

“When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago." - Friedrich Nietzsche. Long ago, Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery conquered false claims that the Book of Mormon was fiction or that it came through a stone in a hat. But these old claims have resurfaced in recent years. To conquer them again, we have to return to what Joseph and Oliver taught.

End of M2C: trying to solve without a pin in the map

The most obvious problem with M2C is trying to come up with a "map" of the Book of Mormon without a single "pin" in the map. Even with the Cumorah pin in the map, there are a wide range of views, but at least they are anchored to a known location, explained by Moroni himself.

The M2Cers have rejected and repudiated the teachings of the prophets about the New York Cumorah/Ramah. They claim they rely on "the book itself," but in reality they rely on their own interpretations of the text, which vary considerably.

When M2Cers reject the teachings of the prophets, they are "Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." (2 Timothy 3:7)

Rejecting the New York Cumorah/Ramah leaves them without an anchor, "tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine." (Ephesians 4:14)
