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.

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

A serious reader?

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

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.”

Great...

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