amo Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 And would you happen to know of any official declaration / statement that may invalidate or "overrule" his, since it was given while he was the prophet ?No, but why would we need one? Well, since the statement came from the prophet.Then, is there a way to know that it was just his opinion ? Thx,amo
Calm Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 I would suggest his own words are the best indication. There is no sign of he claiming revelation and instead, he describes it as a function of reason: we can come to no other conclusion 1

Now, would you or any 1, happen to know where I could find official Church statements distancing or stating our "neutral" position on BoM geograppy. I'm aware of what's written on the Encyclopedia of Mormonism, but I'm looking more for the Church's official statements. Thx again,amo

Calm Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 https://www.lds.org/manual/book-of-mormon-seminary-teacher-manual-2013/mosiah/lesson-56?lang=eng As you use this diagram, explain that the Church has no official position about Book of Mormon geography except that the events occurred in the Americas. 2
