3 Nephi Vs 8

[Bill Hamblin]

Since Kozaru has returned to the field in fighting trim, I wonder if he has something substantive to say about the numerous unanswered issues we have raised on this thread?

By the way, where is Just Curious? Surely he must have something to contribute?

It would be nice, just once, for anti-Mormons to admit when one of their arguments is just plain wrong.

For the record, I will admit that many arguments proffered in favor of the BOM are wrong. It is perfectly possible to present a faulty argument in favor of a true proposition. It is likewise possible that the BOM may be inauthentic, even if this argument about "the whole earth" is so much nonsense. But instead of confronting their fallacious arguments, misreadings, and misrepresentations and correcting them, most anti-Mormons I have encountered prefer to engage in the fallacy of distraction. Why is this?

This is one of the things that distinguishes them from geniune critics.

Perhaps they are omniscient and incapable of making a mistake. Perhaps because they are "orthodox" (not to be confused with Orthodox), they are incapable of thinking incorrectly. Oops, that would mean they were somehow deified and they apparently do not believe in that.

Well, on second thought, if they admitted that they were not thinking correctly, then someone might get the idea that they were not ortho-doxos.

Just for clarification

I, Darth_Bill, should not be confused with Bill Hamblin.

Just wanted to make that clear. If needed, I'll change my avatar, but not my name.

17 And thus the face of the whole earth became deformed, because of the tempests, and the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the quaking of the earth.

Does anyone know of any historical factual documentation to back up this. I am not aware of the whole earth having this

Helaman 14:21-22

Yea, at the time that he shall yeild up the ghost there shallbe thunderings and lightnings for the spaceof many hours, and the earth shall shake and tremble;and the rocks which are upon the face of this earth, which are both above the earth and beneath, whcih ye know at this time are solid, or the more part of it is one solid mass, shall be broken up;

22 Yea, they shall be rent intwain, and shall ever after be found in seams and incracks, andin broken fragments upon the face of the whole earth, yea, both above  the earth and beneath.

This is a given sign from the prophet Samuel and it should have already been checked out in some noted study at BYU. If not why not?
