In the vibrant and often chaotic debates that unfold on social media platforms, information from diverse sources is shared across countless exchanges between individuals. These discussions frequently involve strangers who bring their unique views, perspectives, perceptions, and opinions—shaped over lifetimes—into the arena. This process embodies the democratic ideal of free speech, where ideas can be freely expressed and challenged. However, a common pattern emerges: participants often reject evidence or arguments simply because they come from someone they label a “rando”—an unknown, ordinary person. Instead of engaging with the substance of the argument or the evidence provided, they dismiss it outright if it lacks endorsement from a certified, licensed, or recognized authority. This behavior raises fundamental questions about how we evaluate information and sources in open discourse.

In the last days, the Savior warned that “many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many” (Matthew 24:11). Yet He also promised that God would never leave His children without living prophets to guide them. How, then, do we discern the true from the false? The scriptures—from the days of Adam through the Restoration—give us a clear, consistent pattern. True prophets share unmistakable characteristics that have never changed. By studying these traits, pondering the scriptures, and seeking the confirming witness of the Holy Ghost, we can avoid the tragic mistake made by previous generations who rejected the very servants sent to save them.

Welcome to this comprehensive directory compiling my Substack articles on the fascinating topics of Native American origins, diffusionist theories, ancient giants, the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, Mound Builders, and pre-Columbian arrivals in the Americas. These pieces draw from 19th-century primary sources, archaeological debates, Native myths, and speculative histories to challenge conventional narratives about who first inhabited and explored the New World. Organized into thematic categories for easy navigation, this master article serves as a one-stop resource to explore interconnected ideas across time and cultures. Each category begins with a brief introduction, followed by summaries of relevant articles with direct links. I’ve grouped them based on overlapping themes like mythological parallels, artifact discoveries, and migration theories, suggesting reading paths where articles build on each other—for instance, starting with flood myths before diving into Lost Tribes ...
Just because someone claims that a person who professes to be a prophet of God—sent specifically to call believers in Jesus Christ to repentance and to come unto God—is a liar and a con-man, that accusation should not be immediately accepted as truth or as the faithful exposure of a false prophet. The scriptures establish a clear, repeated pattern: God’s covenant people, once they have drifted into false traditions, tares sown among the wheat, and wolves in sheep’s clothing within the fold, consistently mistake true prophets for deceivers, mock them, attack them, and often kill them.
This article explores that tragic pattern so that modern Christians may liken the scriptures unto themselves and avoid repeating the very mistakes that led previous generations of God’s people into apostasy and destruction.
