That Jerusalem exists doesn’t give me faith in the Resurrected Lord. Facts don’t establish faith.

Have you ever sung the words to Lead Kindly Light the hymn by John Newman? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead,_Kindly_Light#Notable_occasions_relating_to_hymn

When I do I imagine myself in a dark cave. Have you ever been in a cave when the lights go out and you can see nothing, not even your hand. The littlest light means all.

“I do not ask to see The distant scene; one step enough for me... I loved to choose and see my path; but now Lead Thou me on!”

I love that hymn. Your post and those of your fellows always remind me of that hymn.

Faith that is contrary to facts is only blind faith, God doesn’t call us to blind faith.

There is ZERO evidence for the Book of Mormon and literally TONS for the Bible.
