Speaking of the nineteen witnesses not one of which “ever” recanted their testimony of seeing the so called golden plates even though some were not even members of the Church of Jesus Christ.

They show Me their False Idols.

What no evidence?

What false idols?

It’s an ignorant statement to make in the first place and not including your evidence just compounds the issue doesn’t it.

If you two are going to fuss at each other, then do it the way GOD told Joseph to do it.


 

The

DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS

OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS

SECTION 71

Revelation given to Joseph Smith the Prophet and Sidney Rigdon, at Hiram, Ohio, December 1, 1831. HC 1: 238–239. The Prophet had continued to translate the Bible with Sidney Rigdon as his scribe until this revelation was received, at which time it was temporarily laid aside so as to enable them to fulfill the instruction given herein. The brethren were to go forth to preach in order to allay the unfriendly feelings that had developed against the Church as a result of the publication of some newspaper articles by Ezra Booth, who had apostatized.

1–4, Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon are sent forth to proclaim the gospel; 5–11, Enemies of the saints shall be confounded.

1 Behold, thus saith the Lord unto you my servants Joseph Smith, Jun., and Sidney Rigdon, that the time has verily come that it is necessary and expedient in me that you should open your mouths in proclaiming my gospel, the things of the kingdom, expounding the mysteries thereof out of the scriptures, according to that portion of Spirit and power which shall be given unto you, even as I will.

2 Verily I say unto you, proclaim unto the world in the regions round about, and in the church also, for the space of a season, even until it shall be made known unto you.

3 Verily this is a mission for a season, which I give unto you.

4 Wherefore, labor ye in my vineyard. Call upon the inhabitants of the earth, and bear record, and prepare the way for the commandments and revelations which are to come.

5 Now, behold this is wisdom; whoso readeth, let him understand and receive also;

6 For unto him that receiveth it shall be given more abundantly, even power.

7 Wherefore, confound your enemies; call upon them to meet you both in public and in private; and inasmuch as ye are faithful their shame shall be made manifest.

8 Wherefore, let them bring forth their strong reasons against the Lord.

9 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you—there is no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper;

10 And if any man lift his voice against you he shall be confounded in mine own due time.

11 Wherefore, keep my commandments; they are true and faithful. Even so. Amen.

To: Tell It Right
In fact, early Christians were heavily persecuted. It's unreasonable to expect the people who hated Jesus to write about Him.

More than that, destruction of Christian literature was part and parcel of the Roman persecution efforts:

To: Tell It Right
More evidence that the Romans made a concerted effort to destroy all Christian literature:

… some guy named "George Washington". Obvious myth.

Absolutely! For example, how could he in the 18th century have been named after a city and a state that did not even exist at the time? A clear after the fact fabrication.

With nightmares like this, in your inner child's brain, do you think that an adult RCC member is going to go against the teachings of the CHURCH???
