they did enable the people in the land northward that they might build many cities, both of wood and of cement. (Helaman 3:11)
Jeff Lindsay: "...making cement does not require high-quality timber suitable for making buildings, but merely material that can burn. There can be a shortage of high-quality trees yet plenty of flammable material that can support cement making.
It is true that anything that can burn can be used for making cement. That is not speculation. It was debunking your assertion above, because it was an issue of having (or not having) quality timber suitable for construction.
7UP : Are you going to deny that cement existed in the Americas?
So, then maybe you can grasp the point being made here.
President Grant, as a young man, was being mocked by a "learned man" who claimed that ancient people on the American continents knew nothing about cement. Yet Grant's testimony was not shaken, because he had a spiritual witness of the truth.
Then, years later, it turns out that ancient people on the American continents DID use cement.

Good one Bill.
I guess you "got me" there.
It was annoying to see a forum under "World Religions - LDS Mormonism" where a bunch of non Mormons sit here and mock our religion , in utter ignorance and hypocrisy concerning their own issues of faith.
So yes, here I am.
