Slavery in these cultures then and in the 1830s is much like the Gay marriage question today. The righteous had to be somewhat silent on the matter in order to simply coexist, or survive.. even though both these horrendous practices make the purveyors of such..... well it would be better had they not come into the blessed vessel.

I have purchased most of his DVD's but I just can agree with his Peruvian model for the Book of Mormon for multiple reasons. His old world research and findings are extremely interesting. I love his passion for research and his love of the Book of Mormon.Nosmelonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08986561783154617516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2626618239722290495.post-8310767253494812862015-10-16T05:12:41.957-07:002015-10-16T05:12:41.957-07:00Nosmelone- thanks for your posts.

I have really enjoyed George potters work on lehis trail. While studying George's work on the possibility of the nephites settling in South America I came across nephicode.blogsot.com. I have found it to be the most fascinating and most compelling work on possible locations for the Book of Mormon of all the books and blogs I have read. I'm curious if you've read it.

Instead we get these societies placing each other in tribute. By the way the "matricula de tributos" noted above is extremely similar to Mosiah 19:15.Nosmelonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08986561783154617516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2626618239722290495.post-39768762711897733062015-08-13T16:34:41.153-07:002015-08-13T16:34:41.153-07:00Romans required tribute.

I think that alot of the internal wars that the nephites had were probably the result. there own enforcement of tribute even though the book of mormon is silent on that matter.
