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.

No More Contention update

We added this comment to the home page of MOBOM (Museum of the Book of Mormon).

https://www.mobom.org/

IMPORTANT: While there have been many controversies and arguments about the Book of Mormon, just as with the Bible, the Koran, and other holy writings, there is no need for contention about any of these. When we pursue clarity, charity and understanding of one another, we can easily and happily enjoy our mutual efforts to improve ourselves and make the world a better place for everyone.

I also posted a new comment on that blog:

We added more annotations to https://www.mobom.org/jonathan-edwards

And I noted this (but did not independently verify):

Another way to avoid contention is to recognize some of the fun in these conversations about the origin and setting of the Book of Mormon, all in good nature.
