Frederick G. Williams Väittää että tämä malli oli Joseph Smithistä lähtöisin,[3] mutta väitös on lähtöisin Williamsin tulkitsemasta nimettömästä käsikirjoituksesta, joka on peräisin vuodelta 1882.[4]

A more recent advocate of the HGT, Earl Wunderli[5] has been reviewed.[6] Wunderli believes that the Book of Mormon text is clearly hemispheric, though he seems to presume that Joseph Smith wrote the Book of Mormon as a nineteenth century work, and thus reflects Joseph's preoccuptions.[7]

Viimeaikaisempi MMTn suosija, Earl Wunderlin[5]työ on arvosteltu.[6] Wunderli uskoo että Mormonin kirjan teksti on selvästi koko maanosan käsittävä, vaikka näyttää siltä että hän uskoo Joseph Smithin kirjoittaneen teoksen 1800 luku mielessä ja täten se kuvstaa Josephin olia mielipiteitä.[7]
  
Advantages of this model include:
+
Tämän teorian hyvät puolet:
  
    * it matches how the earliest members of the Church tended to read the Book of Mormon
+
* se sopii Kirkon aikaisten jäsenien tapaan lukea Mormonin kirjaa.
    * many members of the Church continue to have this sort of 'image' in their mind as they read the Book of Mormon–it is familiar, and comfortable
+
* monella kirkon jäsenellä tuntuu olevan tämän tapainen mielikuva Mormonin kirjaa lukiessaan, se on tuttu ja turvallinen. 
  
Disadvantages include:
+
Haitat:
  
    * distances in the Book of Mormon are extremely difficult to square with the HGT scale, which requires thousands of miles in a North-South direction
+
* Mormonin kirjan etäisyydet on vaikea asettaa MMTn skaalaan, joka käsittäisi etelä - pohjois suunnassa tuhansia kilometrejä. 
  
The Church does not take an official position on this issue

This is one of many issues about which the Church has no official position. As President J. Reuben Clark taught under assignment from the First Presidency:
+
Tämä on yksi monista asioista joihin kirkolla ei ole virallista kantaa. Kuten President J. Reuben Clark opetti tehtävässään ensiommäiseltä presidenttikunnalta:  
  
    Here we must have in mind—must know—that only the President of the Church, the Presiding High Priest, is sustained as Prophet, Seer, and Revelator for the Church, and he alone has the right to receive revelations for the Church, either new or amendatory, or to give authoritative interpretations of scriptures that shall be binding on the Church....  
+
Tässä asiassa on hyvä muistaa, tietää, että vain kirkon Presidentillä, Johtavalla Ylipapilla joka on hyväksytty Kirkon Profeetaksi, Näkijäksi ja Ilmoituksen saajaksi, ja vain hänellä on oikeus vastaanottaa ilmoituksia Kirkkoa varten. Ilmoitukset voivat olla uusia tai korjaavia hän voi myös antaa virallisia kirjoitusten selityksiä, jotka siten ovat sitovia lausuntoja Kirkossa....
 +
Kun kuka tahansa, paitis Kirkon Presidentti alkaa saarnata oppia joka ei ole virallista, jossa kaksi tai ueampi opinasia kiistelee keskenään voimme tietää että hän ei ole "Pyhä Hengen vaikutuksen alainen" paitsi jos hän tekee niin kirkon presidentin ohjauksen ja vallan alla.    
  
    When any man, except the President of the Church, undertakes to proclaim one unsettled doctrine, as among two or more doctrines in dispute, as the settled doctrine of the Church, we may know that he is not "moved upon by the Holy Ghost," unless he is acting under the direction and by the authority of the President.
+
Nämä asiat antavat meille varmuuden ilman tarvetta epäilyyn ja ylenmääräiseen pohdintaan

Harold B. Lee was emphatic that only one person can speak for the Church:
  
    All over the Church you're being asked this: "What does the Church think about this or that?" Have you ever heard anybody ask that question? "What does the Church think about the civil rights legislation?" "What do they think about the war?" "What do they think about drinking Coca-Cola or Sanka coffee?" Did you ever hear that? "What do they think about the Democratic Party or ticket or the Republican ticket?" Did you ever hear that? "How should we vote in this forthcoming election?" Now, with most all of those questions, if you answer them, you're going to be in trouble. Most all of them. Now, it's the smart man that will say, "There's only one man in this church that speaks for the Church, and I'm not that one man."

    I think nothing could get you into deep water quicker than to answer people on these things, when they say, "What does the Church think?" and you want to be smart, so you try to answer what the Church's policy is. Well, you're not the one to make the policies for the Church. You just remember what the Apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthians. He said, "For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified" (1  Cor. 2:2). Well now, as teachers of our youth, you're not supposed to know anything except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. On that subject you're expected to be an expert. You're expected to know your subject. You're expected to have a testimony. And in that you'll have great strength. If the President of the Church has not declared the position of the Church, then you shouldn't go shopping for the answer.

This was recently reiterated by the First Presidency (who now approves all statements published on the Church's official website):
  
    Not every statement made by a Church leader, past or present, necessarily constitutes doctrine. A single statement made by a single leader on a single occasion often represents a personal, though well-considered, opinion, but is not meant to be officially binding for the whole Church. With divine inspiration, the First Presidency...and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles...counsel together to establish doctrine that is consistently proclaimed in official Church publications. This doctrine resides in the four “standard works” of scripture (the Holy Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price), official declarations and proclamations, and the Articles of Faith. Isolated statements are often taken out of context, leaving their original meaning distorted.

Maanosallinen maantieteellinenteoria

Maanosallinen maantieteellinen teoria (tai MMT) On Mormonin kirjan maantieteen vanha käsitys. Se väittää että Mormonin kirjan tapahtumat tapahtuivat koko Amerikan mantereella käsittäen sekä Etelä- että Pohjois-AmerikanPanaman ollessa se ohut kannas.

Orson Pratt oli tämän teorian aikaisimpia ja parhaiten tunnettuja puolustajia. Häqn julkisti sen 1832 [1] ja jatkoi sen opettamista vuosikymmenien ajan. 1800 luvulla moni MAP kirjailija seurasi Prattin mallia, ja vähitellen hänen viitteensä löysivät tiensä 1879 Mormonin kirjaan. Huolimatta maanosallisen teorian saavuttamasta kansan suosiosta ei olla selvillä siitä oliko se Joseph Smithin ja muiden veljien profetaalisen ilmoituksen tai henkilökohtaisten ajatusten ja oletusten tulosta.[2]

Frederick G. Williams Väittää että tämä malli oli Joseph Smithistä lähtöisin,[3] mutta väitös on lähtöisin Williamsin tulkitsemasta nimettömästä käsikirjoituksesta, joka on peräisin vuodelta 1882.[4]

Viimeaikaisempi MMTn suosija, Earl Wunderlin[5]työ on arvosteltu.[6] Wunderli uskoo että Mormonin kirjan teksti on selvästi koko maanosan käsittävä, vaikka näyttää siltä että hän uskoo Joseph Smithin kirjoittaneen teoksen 1800 luku mielessä ja täten se kuvstaa Josephin olia mielipiteitä.[7]

Tämän teorian hyvät puolet:

  • se sopii Kirkon aikaisten jäsenien tapaan lukea Mormonin kirjaa.
  • monella kirkon jäsenellä tuntuu olevan tämän tapainen mielikuva Mormonin kirjaa lukiessaan, se on tuttu ja turvallinen.

Haitat:

  • Mormonin kirjan etäisyydet on vaikea asettaa MMTn skaalaan, joka käsittäisi etelä - pohjois suunnassa tuhansia kilometrejä.

Kirkolla ei ole asiasta virallista mielipidettä.

The Foundation for Apologetic Information & Research (FAIR) on voittoa hakematon organisatio joka aloitti toimintansa myöhään 1997 Puolustaakseen MAP Kirkkoa. FAIR on täynnä vapaaehtoisia, joista kaikki ovat omistautuneet MAP Kirkon puolustukseen. Myöhempien Aikojen Pyhien Jeesuksen Krsituksen Kirkko ei omista eikä määrää eikä vaikuta FAIRissa. Kaikki tutkimukset ja mielipiteet tällä sivustolla ovat FAIRin vastuulla eikä niitä tulisi ottaa virallisina MAP kirkon lausuntoina opista, uskosta eikä käytännöistä.
