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.

Mexico City temple dedication

The M2C citation cartel made a point recently about the original dedication of the Mexico City temple, in which President Hinckley referred to the children of Lehi.

Of course, the modern locations of descendants of Lehi has little to do with where Book of Mormon events took place thousands of years ago. Hundreds of years after Moroni buried the plates in New York, the Mayan civilization collapsed. Some of them came north, intermarried with Lamanites in North America for several hundred years, then returned to Central America.

I blogged about this topic a while ago:
