You asked about MANTI earlier in this thread beginning here, do you recall? My response extends for several posts and I gave you a partial explanation with a promise that more would come in due time when I was ready to reveal/explain more.

Would you please, just wake up? Did Smith, or anybody involved in the production of the Book of Mormon, or...

He could have included a revelation in the D&C about it. But that was not the case. He remained tig...

In the Lost Pages, do you hypothesize that Lehi murdered Laban while he was unconscious? According to Fayette Lapham's interview with Joseph Smith Sr. at some point in the year previous to the publication of the Book of Mormon, Laban was "dead drunk". "After traveling three days, [Lehi] remembered ...
