yet answer to “IS the Hill Cumorah reall in New York” is ”

“There are two Hill Cumorahs. Both of which were depositories of records of the Nephites. Unfortunately because the name and purpose are the same, it is very easy to confuse the two and assume that people are talking about one when they mean the other.

The first hill is the one which the Book of Mormon references and held the records that Mormon used to compile the Golden Plates near the end of the Nephite civilization. We don’t know exactly where this is, although somewhere in Mexico is a standard guess. The final war of the Nephites was fought near this Cumorah.

”
there seems to be a lack of continuity here in answers. Are there 2 hills or 1. There is enough ambiguity in the answers to make them what you want. The reader is lead to believe the Hill referenced in the Book of Mormon is not in NY though nothing positive is said yes or no. Yet the person asks very specifically if the Hill Cumorah is in the state of NY. So why isn’t the answer YES based on the answer given to this persons question. Seems odd to me.

So do I. I remember having a conversation with a friend of mine who was clearly changing Mormon beliefs to fit the current scientific understanding. Science changes all the time and yet religion is flawed????
