...and any mention of this on any of the three main media websites of LDS Inc? (Mormon.org, LDS.org, desnews.com)

That's because the Salt Lake Trib is the devil's newspaper.

With this explanation from the LDS church, the apologists' definition of principle can finally be laid to rest. Sorry charity. ;)

edit - mods - feel free to move my posts to the other thread, and delete this one.


Please use the correct word. I know it is a picky little thing, but the word is princiPAL.

Sorry, who knows. But I don't think this really changes anything. The text of the Book of Mormon says that the book will be preserved to bring the remnant of the descendants of Lehi back to the truth. And that at least some of the indigenous peoples of these continents are those descendants has always been the position of the Church.


Yes, of course. "Principal" should not be confused with "The Principle".

I'm sure it's hard for some to tell them apart, given that "The Principle" has similarly been edited out of Church materials.

Could someone, in a nutshell, explain to me what the significance of this is?

After how many years as a follower of Mormonism and how many wasted YEARS of time on these discussion boards and you ask a question like that?

DUH?

Speaking of a nutshell, with that revealing question, that's about the extent of your Mormon knowledge- it would fit in a nutshell.
