The "reason" I've heard for the Church taking no position on the matter is that it is not vital to anyone's salvation.Shulem wrote: ↑Tue Aug 10, 2021 5:59 pmThe various models of Book of Mormon Geography which essentially melt down to Central America Vs. Heartlander are at serious odds with one another. They BOTH can't be true. Members who ascribe to either theory are setting themselves up in one camp while at the same time accuse the other camp of being wrong. It's one camp within the Church that is at opposition with the other. And it seems that not even the President of the Church can solve this dilemma! Or rather, the President of the Church doesn't want to attempt to solve the problem because he doesn't know how and lacks the wisdom in determining which of the theories are true. The President of the Church lacks the faith and knowhow to get an answer direct from God. He thinks he can just blow it off and tell members that the Church takes no position on the matter. The President of the Church shirks his duty, lacks faith, and thinks he can just sit on his ass without having to say anything unless God himself comes down off his cloud to tell him. This is the present state of affairs of the Church today being led by a man who claims to be a prophet.
However, I don't think that that is true: it may be a stumbling block for an investigator, or even for a faithful member, if the prophet of god cannot resolve a simple geographical question.
You have communicated your findings to the CAB, right, Shulem?
