Introducing new and very interesting information that is well thought out and intriguing. Interested in more information.
This is a prime example of the difference between reading the scriptures and FEASTING on the scriptures. So much is there if we are willing to dig in. The Stoddards have so much to offer. I lament the fact the fact that there aren’t more scholars willing to assist them in their efforts. Imagine how much knowledge could be had if we centered our attention on what truly mattered and opened our minds up to the possibilities rather than remaining myopically centered on our narrow-minded bias.
Thank you for expounding upon this mystery I had not even noticed before. Some of the scriptures you shared in this presentation really bring this out fact. Looking forward to when I can see the current DVD and others as you produce them. FYI regarding the brass plates Alma 37 has a prophecy of the brass plates going to people in the last days.
Intriguing information. I have spent 40 years trying to find my great-grandmother’s parents, and this past year I believe I found them. I believe they are of Seneca/Mingo descent. As I read the Annotated Book of Mormon this past year, the thought kept coming to me that some of the people in this book could possibly be my ancestors. I read it this time with new eyes and a whole new perspective. Thank you for sharing this information. It verifies what I have been actually been feeling for a long time.
