I knew you couldn’t avoid an LDS distortion and smear today!

How empty must your life be? ...to spend such a large part of it trying to discourage Christians with whom you do not agree.

FYI: Checkout the Bat Creek Hebrew inscription. Discovered in 1890 by the Smithsonian Inst. and recently dated to 100 AD.

A hebrew inscription on a rock in the American Continent from 100 AD? ..... Sounds a lot like the Book of Mormon to me.

What is distorted?

Royal Skousen is a respected Lds leader who gets stories written by him in the BYU Maxwell Institute, and February 2013 stories written about him in the Lds church-owned Deseret News.

You would actually think with the HUNDREDS of Lds-sourced articles, powerpoints, Pdfs, and other excerpts that I cite more Mormons would actually commend me for spreading the Mormon "gospel."

On top of that, I've cited THOUSANDS of direct quotes from Lds leaders ranging from 1830 to 2013.

You would actually think Lds would relish their leaders being cited that often.

But not you...and not most Mormons.

Do you know, therefore, what that conveys when you generate DOZENS of such contrarian posts to my frequent sourcing of all things Mormon?

Please correct me if reading these signals is somehow off-based, but doesn't that strike all you FREEPERS out there that too many FREEPER Mormons are very much ashamed of...
...their Lds general authorities and what they have said thru the years???
...their Lds media sources and what they have published even in just recent years???
...their Lds brethren for generating hundreds of scandals?

You would think with as many THOUSANDS of Lds citations as I have given, that every Mormon would rush out to this "Gentile" and mob me with congratulatories o'er placing all of this Mormon "thinktank" stuff in wider circulation...

...But...I somehow think that if I was ever to be mobbed by Mormons, it somehow might not exactly be for those reasons...

But, hey, Teppe, I love you in Christ; I love your fellow Lds, who deserve the truth...
...as I posted on the other thread today this link, MORMONS IN SHOCK: Love warns of danger -- Love, indeed, warns of danger, Teppe. Love teaches kids NOT to take street drugs, NOT to jaywalk in busy traffic, NOT to touch hot stoves, etc. The Bible is filled with warnings & admonitions...even the Lds D&C has admonitions that Lds leaders say their missionaries to give & Mom & Pop answering Lds missionary rung doorbells.

Enjoy your week, Teppe...the ONE TRUE God, and the ONLY SON He had in the pre-existence loves you...

Oh indeed, lets check out the Bat Crazy forgery.

The entertaining thing is that if one reads enough Mormon “scholarship” on the rock even they don't agree, some also acknowledge the truth that the rock was a scam.

If only their discernment extended to early 19th Century religious fiction...

I don't see where Colofornian is discouraging any Christians with exposing man-made teachings that don't agree with God's Word. If you are discouraged, well then.....

Focus on God's Word, not man's.

For starters teppe - according to the most popular lds bom location theory - they were limited to a small area in central america - not on Tennessee.

This artifact is even rejected by FAIR - were you aware of that Teppe???? Heres what they said -

'A forged item can tell us nothing about ancient America in general, or the Book of Mormon in particular. Any current source that uses the Bat Creek Stone as evidence should be treated with caution; its author(s) are not using the most up-to-date information. At the very least, it is premature to rely on the Bat Creek Stone as evidence of anything related to ancient America.'

Nope, sound more like a poorly informed mormon grasping at straws for ANYTHING to substantiate their faith.
