PROVO, Utah -- From receiving a new suit to opportunities to serve in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, friends and mentors have played an important role in the life of Elder Ronald A. Rasband of the Presidency of the Seventy, he said during a Church Educational System fireside Sunday evening.

Reading chart: I stumbled on this printable "Book of Mormon Reading Chart," which is very handy for any family or individual embarking on a chapter-by-chapter reading program of the Book of Mormon. And it serves two purposes: "1. It is a visual reminder to do our daily reading and show where we are and 2. It's also a missionary tool... lots who come in ask about it and it's a good opportunity for us (to) introduce the Book of Mormon to people."

Uh, Columbus never came to America. We stopped in the islands to the east. Why should I expect them to have the fact right?

@dsmithco "Uh, Columbus never came to America"

really, I have seen signs in America (North America) saying Columbus landed here.

Alma 18:10, "Now when king Lamoni heard that Ammon was preparing his horses and his achariots he was more astonished,...

I would be astanished too if these verses from the Book of Mormon were talking about Tapirs

[omiolo]

@rd1999 I think the point is that we have NOT exhausted ALL possibilities of what that scripture reference could mean and should mean. Until then, to say there were NEVER horses in mesoamerica seems ignorant at best.

the bible doesn't have a lot of "could haves" and "maybes" it has solid evidence to back up it's claims. Stop being whining pussies and produce something already.

I like to investigate the BOM but it's not more important than the saving ordinances and going to heaven and all that stuff. I think we ought to knock that off cause we might not make it to heaven and it will be the BOM's fault. Jesus would be pretty mad at us if he did all this, the creation the atonement and the preperation of the scriptres, and then we let the scriptures damn us all to hell.

[back2thefutre]

mormons and anti-mormons need to knock it off. Really this Bible and Book of Mormon are not important. They mean nothing. Mormons keep trying to find evidence that the BOM is true with peranoia and we act like everything we believe in depends on this horse and wheat and metal and geography crap.you freaking recieve the ordinances of salvation by the priesthood and then you freaking go to heaven and live with Jesus.Stop freaking acting like the Scriptures are more important than believing in God

I remember when I was in an early grade of school, being taught that the Indians called the Spanish horses as "big dogs" because they had no word for horse. I was taught to believe that the Americas did have horse. Turns out there were many horse species in the Americas that were merely hunted to extinction before the Spanish came.

Tapir droppings.

"it is not a done deal to suggest there were not horses in book of Mormon times"

Time is on our side!
