Someone connected to Lindsey’s page has just this evening removed the image I posted! Elsie, do you recall the image I posted from Lindsey’s page? Well, it is no longer there! Could the Parsimonious Defrauder we endure be connected to the Jeff Lindsey scams? Nina, you saw the image I posted earlier. It is now linked to merely a title with no pix! Interesting, very interesting!

Why does the Book of Mormon always follow KJV errors?

At first, when you first linked it, I thought you were talking about the “gardens”. There was just a fuzzy web page name for a banner.

When I went back and refreshed the page the banner picture you’re talking about came into view.

Weird. But it’s probably just a hiccup.

Elsie, do you recall the image I posted from Lindsey’s page?

Was that the wide, low waterfalls with all the greenery?

Well, it may be a coincidence..the mormons are hard at work trying to scrub their history on the internet.

Changes To LDS Scripture Headings & Footnotes

Many of you have recognized the new LDS.org website.  Some of you have recognized that with the new site also came changes to chapter headings and footnotes in the scriptures.  Not nearly is significant in number as the changes that were made in the 1981 edition of the LDS scriptures, but equally confirming on the messages being conveyed.  Here are a list of the changes that I’m aware of, along with some thoughts and two very compelling short videos below.  I’d love to hear your thoughts as you prayerfully review the changes asking “what would the Lord have me understand about these recent changes?”

1. 1 Nephi 12:23- The footnotes for “dark” have been removed (Jacob 3:3 and Alma 3:7 (6-19)) and replaced with 2 Nephi 26:33
2. 2 Nephi 5- the words in the chapter heading “the Lamanites are cursed, receive a skin of blackness” were changed to “the Lamanites are cut off from the presence of the Lord, are cursed,”
3. 2 Nephi 5:21- The footnotes for “curse” (2 Nephi 1:17 and Alma 3:6 (6-19)) were removed and replaced with “TG Curse”.
4. 2 Nephi 5:21- The word “blackness” has a new footnote which is 2 Ne. 26:33.
5. Alma 3:6- The footnotes for “curse” have been changed from 1 Ne. 2:23 and 2 Ne. 5:21(21-24) to 2 Nephi 5:21; 26:33.
6. Mormon 5 Chapter heading removes “The Lamanites shall be a dark, filthy and loathsome people” and replaces it with “Because of their unbelief, the Lamanites will be scattered, and the Spirit will cease to strive with them“
7. Mormon 5:15- The footnotes for “become” no longer reference 1 Ne. 2:23 and Alma 3:19(16-19) but are replaced by 2 Nephi 26:33
8. Moses 7:8,22- The words “blackness” and “black” both get new footnotes which lead to 2 Nephi 26:33.

From prayerfully studying the scriptures laid out in the Blacks in the Scriptures DVD series and the talk on “How To Reach African Americans” we understand that a curse is a separation from God because of sin, including the loss of the spirit, a diming of the light of Christ within, a separation from His path and ways thereof (see 1 Nephi 2:23 then follow footnote for curse to Job 24:13)

We also understand that the skin being spoken of in reference to “black” or “white” is referring to the state of the spirit and not a literal or physical skin color change.  There are some that are still in the process of gaining a testimony of these gospel principles.  I think that these recent changes should aid in this process.  Notice that the changes in the chapter headings of 2 Nephi 5 and Mormon 5 get the reader so much closer to understanding the “curse”  as a “separation” than does the earlier language.

Secondly, notice all of the redirecting, in addition to new footnotes pointing us to 2 Nephi 26:33.  This is significant because as we’ve studied all of the scriptures laid out in the attached scripture reference guide for “black” and “white”, by the time we get to 2 Nephi 26:33, we understand that Joseph Smith could have easily translated the word “black” as “wicked” meaning the spiritually dark, as well as the word “white” as “righteous”, referring to the state of the spiritually pure and clean.  Well I say he could have easily translated it as such and he actually did.  See Alma 11:44.  You’d think you’re reading the exact same passage, but this time you see the wicked and the righteous, in place of black and white.

It's mind-boggling the way this author just accepts and approves of the way the mormon church is revising the past racist church history.
