Hi Friends.
First, let me say I do NOT want this to be a debate, and so I'm posting this topic in the DIR forum. And I promise to stick to the rules!
I'm very curious about your understanding of the Church's introduction to the Book of Mormon. The Church's prior introduction described the Lamanites as the "principal" ancestors of Native Americans. That was changed several years ago to describe the Lamanites as being "among" such ancestors.
What was/is your understanding of what the Church meant by "principal"? Why did the Church change the wording?
Again, I don't want this to be a debate. Pastor John and I have already argued about this topic in another thread and I don't want to recreate that here. I'd like to see what other members have to say about the topic.
Thanks.
