Pearl of Great Price...turns out it was actually a Egyptian embalming manual...is actually more exciting than this stuff...Joseph Smith’s perversions and imagination were so colorful

[P-Marlowe]

It is no exaggeration to say that the Jews hated all other peoples and were reciprocally despised and contemned by all others.

No Comment.

RE: Book of Abraham. You will find this of interest. I know the Egyptian embalming manual is fun to believe, but here are the facts.

Hmmm, it’s not linking the last “)” in the URL, you’ll have to cut and paste it. Sorry.

Aren't you the guy that posted the nonsense about Joseph Smith's statement about Quakers on the Moon might be true because the Apollo Astronauts may have landed in an unpopulated section of the Moon?

Nice “snip” I suppose that's why Jesus’s message about the Good Samaritan was not needed, because the ancient Jews loved the Samaritans so much...??

Here's the context from your snip.

Under Mosaic law Israel had been required to keep apart from other nations; they attached supreme importance to their Abrahamic lineage as children of the covenant, “an holy people unto the Lord,” whom He had chosen “to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.” Judah had experienced the woeful effects of dalliance with pagan nations, and, at the time we are now considering, a Jew who permitted himself unnecessary association with a Gentile became an unclean being requiring ceremonial cleansing to free him from defilement. Only in strict isolation did the leaders find hope of insuring the perpetuity of the nation.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Jews hated all other peoples and were reciprocally despised and contemned by all others. They manifested especial dislike for the Samaritans, perhaps because this people persisted in their efforts to establish some claim of racial relationship. These Samaritans were a mixed people, and were looked upon by the Jews as a mongrel lot, unworthy of decent respect. When the Ten Tribes were led into captivity by the king of Assyria, foreigners were sent to populate Samaria. These intermarried with such Israelites as had escaped the captivity; and some modification of the religion of Israel, embodying at least the profession of Jehovah worship, survived in Samaria. The Samaritan rituals were regarded by the Jews as unorthodox, and the people as reprobate. At the time of Christ the enmity between Jew and Samaritan was so intense that travelers between Judea and Galilee would make long detours rather than pass through the province of Samaria which lay between. The Jews would have no dealings with the Samaritans.

Yeah, that was a mistake on my part. And I immediately and freely admitted it. Thanks for your Christlike forgiveness.

And no, that wasn't JS’s statement, but a journal entry from another person who was infatuated with the concept, having been told such things about the Moon by his Father. Also, it was written a decade after after the supposed fact. JS recorded no such thing.

"Here let me say again, according to the Book of Mormon, many of those great islands that are found in the Indian Ocean, also in the great Pacific Sea, have been planted with colonies of Israelites. Do they not resemble each other?

Go to the Sandwich Islands, to the South Sea Islands, to Japan--go to the various islands of the Pacific Ocean, and you find a general resemblance in the characters and countenances of the people. Who are they? According to the Book of Mormon, Israelites were scattered forth from time to time, and colonies planted on these islands of the ocean"

- Apostle Orson Hyde, Journal of Discourses, v. 14, p. 333

This is not the Jesus I worship

examples of differences???

[sevenbak]

Yeah, the Scattering of Israel. Do you know where they were scattered?

I will scatter you among the heathen, Lev. 26: 33. The Lord shall scatter thee among all people, Deut. 28: 25, 37, 64. I will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, Jer. 29: 18-19. I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, Amos 9: 9 (Zech. 10: 9). Jesus was sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, Matt. 15: 24. I have other sheep which are not of this fold, John 10: 16.

[DManA]

My Jesus is 1/3 of the God Head. Of one substance with the Father.

[sevenbak]

My Jesus is also 1/3 of the Godhead, but not one substance. That part is not scriptural.

[DManA]

Says your false prophet.

Is this post more of the “hosing” that Grig promised us last week?

[sevenbak]

Can you show me anywhere in the Old or New testaments where they are one in substance?
