by Lance Weaver Outline This article is only a very rough draft or summary of a much larger book I’m writing which I don’t expect to finish for at least a decade. Honestly, the work I feel I’ve been giving is a bit overwhelming, so be patient and if the Spirit moves you to offer […]
Pioneering Phase Perhaps (12,000 or 3100-2920 B.C.?) 180 years? Jaredite dates are highly speculative. Formation Phase 600 years? Early Formation (Sub-phase–300 years) B. Late Formation (Sub-phase–300 years) Disruption Phase Perhaps (2320-1720 B.C.)? 600 years? Jaredite dates are highly speculative. Early Disruption (Sub-phase–360 years) Late Disruption (Sub-phase–240 years) Jaredite dates are highly speculative. Elaboration Phase (1720-1120 […]

. . Introduction I believe the Hebrew Old Testament was created as a response to ancient-academic histories. Just as Pharaoh Ptolemy commissioned Manetho to write Aegyptiaca, the History of Egypt in the 3rd century BC, modern scholarship seems to point toward Ezra as they key figure in assembling a sizable team of Israel’s best post-exilic […]
Summary Introduction Mesoamerican calendars show an astonishing amount of similarity to the Hebrew/Biblical and ancient near eastern & Chinese calendars. Really, its hard to believe these calendar systems developed completely independent of each other without some type of diffusionary influence. Of particular significance is “K’atun Wheel/ Calendar Round” (or u kahlay katunob) and its similarity […]
In Mormonism, we sometimes forget our prophetic roots and confuse the concept of the prophetic leading high priest (of which there is only one per priesthood sect – D&C 107)….
– 16. “It had been 166 years since they had adjusted their calendar with the equinox and 270 years since the [first inhabitants] had been destroyed when the sun and the moon eclipsed and the earth quaked and rocks were broken into pieces and many other signs that had been given came to pass, although man […]
Summary Both anthropological DNA evidence and racism mentioned in the Book of Mormon are EXACTLY what we should expect from a Jewish colony in the Americas. The racism mirrors that found in the Bible, and proved to be prophetic in that all those Israelites who mixed with the surrounding natives were absorbed into their culture […]
This is mostly a rough draft of my thoughts on modesty and advice for my daughters. Things I hope they’ll remember as they navigate this difficult issue. 1. THERE ARE NO ABSOLUTES in dress standards. In the 1800s LDS and Christian women had a FAR different standard of modesty than today. In fact, even today, […]
THIS ARTICLE IS UNFINISHED AND UNDER HEAVEY CONSTRUCTION. Why do some Aztec chroniclers put the Aztec Migration from Aztlan at 439 AD and others put it seven hundred years later at 1168 AD? Could a difference in Calendars be causing us to overlook the overwhelming evidence for the Nephite destruction in the Book of Mormon? […]
