The Book of Mormon vs. The King James Version of the Bible

[Watchmen]

Look up the word "principal" in any dictionary and it will mean "most important", or "of most value" or "first in rank".

It does not matter what you or other people ASSUME about the meaning of the word "principal".

The ACTUAL definition disagrees with your ASSUMPTION.

We've been down this road and you're wrong, but I'll never convince you if that (despite the other members agreeing with me). I guess you're right and everyone else is wrong.

 

[Watchmen]

You reply makes me glad and it was well spoken.

However, I still need to ask - Don't you think we should evaluate the true meaning of the original Introduction to the Book of Mormon by the actual definition of the word "principal" rather than what leaders and members of the Church inferred or assumed about its meaning?

Shouldn't the fact that the word "principal" does not mean "most" or "most of" help us determine the true interpretation of the original Introduction?

Kicking against the pricks.
