Why is this so impossible?
Doesn't the U.S. government keep seperate records - military - agricultural - census?
Seeings how various people were their kings, sometimes the kings were prophets, and other times they weren't - it makes sense that they would be seperate....
I don't know why that seems SOOOOOO ridiculous.....and you CANT beLIEVE it - it's NOT POSSIBLE!! OH MY GOSH!
ITS IMPOSSIBLE FOR TWO RECORDS TO BE KEPT!
If God told them to...they did....by small and simple things...even Nephi was going "what the heck...why do this with two records? Oh well...if God commands it...I guess I better....."
