Lamanite Story from Siberia

Post by moksha »

Why have no Modern-day Saints stepped forward with the revised story of Lamanites from Siberia?
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

Nope, but that seems like an obvious next step. I guess the closest thing is the Gospel Topics DNA essay mentions the remains of a "Paleo-Eskimo" in Alaska that date to the time of the Jaredites, which they hold up as evidence that people actually did migrate to the Americas in ancient times. They seem oblivious to the fact that the DNA of that person tells exactly the kind of detailed story about their origins that the essay claims, as its central theme, is impossible. Because Otherwise, there would be DNA of ancient Jews in America. WTF.

In addition to Siberia, did Jesus ever visit China or India? Did Mormon god forsake 25%+ of the world's population in his hurry to get to the few remaining cities in the America?

Of course he did visit other continents. They were more of other sheep not of this fold. Those people also made record, maybe on plates or maybe knives and forks or tree bark, and those records will be brought to the knowledge of the world in due time prior to the second coming, and those records will also bear witness of Christ and support the book of Mormon, and we'll all to have get our sextuple combination (Old Testament, New Testament, Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price, Book of Istar, and the Mao Ling Chu pictographs) or sexts for short.

At least this is the gist of what I was taught growing up.

We're just waiting for some young teen boy in China to go petition the lord for more knowledge. He's probably still hunting a rock.
