DaVinciCode??? It is worth to read one time. (not be worth a fillip ...sorry... there are cases not to leave out ... nothing personal)

There are books worth to read many times.

Are you suggesting that the DaVinci code is not a reliable source of information about the Catholic Church? Its been one of my primary references in my research on Christianity, along with the sophisticated, objective analysis provided by scholars like Hitchens and Harris.

It's about as reliable a source as the Catholic church itself is.

Infallible? I hope so or otherwise I'm going to have to rewrite my entire PhD dissertation on the role of albino assassin monks in 14th century papal elections.

I don't know your background so I don't know if you're joking or serious about the idea that the Catholic church is infallible.

If you're joking, then lol.

If you're serious, then LMAO.

A MALAY SITE FOR Book of Mormon EVENTS (PDF) (Sunstone, March 2004)



in my opinion, That is the best geography setting for the Book of Mormon.

Malay Penninsula Theory

This one is another relatively new theory. The theory is that the archeological findings in Mesoamerica do not support Book of Mormon civilizations and also that Lehi and company couldn’t feasibly make the journey 16,000 miles to the Americas. Therefore, they landed on the Malay Penninsula , which is in the area of Singapore and Thailand.

It would have been too far for Lehi and his group to have sailed all of that way to Central America.
And Penninsula is correctly spelled Peninsula.

Damn. That shoots down my theory that the Book of Mormon took place in Middle Earth.

This posted material moved to a more proper place and site in this very Forum:
SUPREME BEING (the ONE GOD) x Distinct Gods x TREE OF LIFE,
http://www.mormondiscussions.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=20643&p=506964#p506964

Thus the MODERN SYMBOL of ISRAEL (political symbol, David Star) is EXACTLY the same OLD SYMBOL OF ISRAEL (religious symbol, Menorah, Temple Symbol). There are many other ways to demonstrate the equivalence and also the equivalence with TREE OF LIFE (the very old past and the FUTURE DAYS, after the END OF DAYS). ELYSAB.
