Most folks don't have any interest in knowing if Jesus visited the Americas, because it would be beyond the scope of the Bible and just cause a lot of unanswerable (without considering the pertinence of the BofM) questions.
DAVEH: I thought I explained that earlier. The Spaniards took care of the "recorded information" hundreds of years ago. Legends persisted long after, however. And of course, there is a wealth of information (literally) carved in stone in the vast ruins south of the border. I visited some of those ruins a couple years ago, and will be happy to share some of the photos with you if you desire. FWIW......I think I sent Glenn our Christmas card that year which showed my family standing in front of the Chitzen Itza temple. A quick google search turned upIf this information is so readily available to Mormons and if indeed Jesus walked on American soil in the flesh while he was on earth THEN don't you think we would hear about it all the time?
I still say something doesn't compute. LauraDAVEH: I respectfully disagree, and will explain why. Jesus said.......
"And other sheep I have which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold and one shepherd." Jn 10:16
...........which I believe is referring to his visit recorded in the BofM. The Lord says as much in 3Nep 15.........
[21] And verily I say unto you, that ye are they of whom I said: Other
sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must
bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and
one shepherd.
[22] And they understood me not, for they supposed it had been the Gentiles;
for they understood not that the Gentiles should
be converted through their preaching.
[23] And they understood me not that I said they shall hear my voice;
and they understood me not that the Gentiles should
not at any time hear my voice -- that I should not manifest myself
unto them save it were by the Holy Ghost.
[24] But behold, ye have both heard my voice, and seen me; and ye are
my sheep, and ye are numbered among those whom
the Father hath given me.
..........Now Laura, to me......that is why I disagree with your comment....."something doesn't compute". To me, it would be logical that the Lord came to the House of Israel and visited more than just the Jewish contingent of it located in the vicinity of Jerusalem while ignoring those elsewhere.
