The Mulekites (MORMON) (OPEN)

Disclaimer: I am former LDS and "anti" mormonism. I post articles from official mormon sources that often relate to current discussions taking place on the forum to provide a means for open discussion in the Religion forum.

 

FROM THE RELIGION FORUM MODERATOR:

Open threads are a town square. Antagonism though not encouraged, should be expected

Posters may argue for or against beliefs of any kind. They may tear down other’s beliefs. They may ridicule.

On all threads, but particularly “open” threads, posters must never “make it personal.” Reading minds and attributing motives are forms of “making it personal.” Making a thread “about” another Freeper is “making it personal.”

When in doubt, review your use of the pronoun “you” before hitting “enter.”

Like the Smoky Backroom, the conversation may be offensive to some.

Thin-skinned posters will be booted from “open” threads because in the town square, they are the disrupters.

 Thin-skinned (emotional, whiney or mercurial temper) posters are the disruptors on open threads.

I’m curious as to how the Jews take this article...know any FR Jewish folks you can ping?

Mormons need to hope that God has a really good sense of humor...

[greyfoxx39]

Ain’t that the truth?

A serious reader?

To me that phrase seems a tad ironic concerning this material.

[greyfoxx39]

Well, THEY'RE serious about it!

Mulekites

[Tennessee Nana]

One reason that readers of the Book of Mormon get confused about the Mulekites is that the name Mulekite is never used.

That’s cause in 1805 the mormon gods changed their minds and called them “MuleHeadeds”

The firstborn of that new generation of Muleheaded was visited by two personages the year, 1820, and told to read the rocks in his hat...

Joey Smith thought that they meant his Pet Rocks...

But alas, the mormon gods meant the ones in his MuleHead..

I didn’t know that the Mulekites looked like The Reverend Jesse Jackson: http://www.mormonapologetics.org/lofiversion/index.php/t40472.html

This dude looks too solid to fly.

And who was this Mulek? According The Maxwell Institute, a wholly owned subsidiary of BYU, he probably is the same as the Malchijah or Machiyah of Jeremiah 38:6.
After arguing that “son of the king” could mean only a “royal personage” the authors say because of context here it here it meant literally “son” although Jeremiah 39:6 says all of Zedekiah's “sons and noblemen” were killed before Zedekiah before he was blinded.

How does Machiyah become Mulek? With a simple slash key.

“So was Mulek the “Malkiyahu the son of the king” mentioned in Jeremiah 38:6? Nothing in the Bible or the Book of Mormon negates this identification.

And the evidence rehearsed above lends significant support to it. The m-l-k basis of both Hebrew names is clear, and the case of Berekhyahu/Baruch demonstrates that there is theoretical precedent for a person being called both Malkiyahu and Mulek—the one a longer, more formal version of the name with a theophoric yahu element, and the other a shorter form lacking that element but featuring a different vowel vocalization.”

LOL...he DOES look like old Jesse.

[ejonesie22]

Great...

Another civilization that “exists” somewhere that they will “find” all over the globe...

[ejonesie22]

I love all the antiquities theft the LDS “scientist” do...

[MarkBsnr]

***LOL...he DOES look like old Jesse.***

He would do quite well in the LDS, I suspect. His oration surpasses theirs and he is not unacquainted with fantastic theology. Plus, he is an excellent shakedown artist - witness two of his sons getting Coca Cola distribution franchises gratis.

I wonder how many of them will wind up in the museum housing the Urim and Thummims and the golden tablets.

Just think of the perks he could get for being other than "white and delightsome"!

He could be front and center at all the General Conferences.

although Jeremiah 39:6 says all of Zedekiah's “sons and noblemen” were killed before Zedekiah before he was blinded.

Just a minor glitch...later revelation takes care of that little detail.

You bet. They could put him in a glass cage and get him running around a little wheel. That would serve two purposes. First, it would show the world that the LDS do indeed regard blacks as able to enter their buildings. Secondly, it would shield at the white and delightsome from actually being in the same physical area as a black man.

Can’t get too close to those whom the LDS God has cursed with a black skin, you know. Icky.
