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.

D&C 132

This topic of Section 132 relates to the Come Follow Me lesson. I posted comments on lds historical narratives here:

Somewhat related to the origin and setting of the Book of Mormon, I did a review of another Interpreter article, this one on D&C 132, here:

Let's all hope that at some point, LDS scholars will focus on what Joseph and Oliver said about the origin and setting of the Book of Mormon, not what their detractors claimed.

And definitely not what certain modern scholars think, especially those who claim to know more than Joseph and Oliver did about those topics.
