I tried contacting Rod Meldrum a while back, but to no avail. Unless you wanna answer my questions in this comments section, then that works too.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05833556855102460943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275804374019732213.post-23799148831821523072015-09-18T09:53:36.176-07:002015-09-18T09:53:36.176-07:00Changing the paradigm of the Book of Mormon geogra...Changing the paradigm of the Book of Mormon geography plays in important role for me in understanding the blessings provided to Lehi and his family. I was talking to my Uncle last night, who is proudly mostly Shawnee by blood, was very excited to hear the things that I had learned about this. Over the course of his life, and having lived in the "American Heartland," near St. Louis and having visited the mounds and cities built by the ancients, he started to feel a special connection to the peoples of the Book of Mormon. The promises given to Lehi are being fulfilled on this North American continent and have been for sometime. The revelations and promises given to Nephi, Lehi, Enos, and others have been fulfilled on this north American continent. My skin, it's white. My ancestors are Lamanite, the sons and daughters of Lehi. I am proudly a member of Christ's church. That's why this "squabbling" is much more important than some petty argument about theories-- this is more than one man trying to tell everyone they are wrong-- the Book of Mormon's promises blessings, and the revelations given to the Prophet Joseph Smith are tied to the land.RJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464871210618980262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275804374019732213.post-45378123074205088392015-09-17T19:47:28.395-07:002015-09-17T19:47:28.395-07:00Excellent post, Stephen.
