Miraculous claims surrounding the coming forth of the Book of Mormon are an evidence of the prophetic calling of Joseph Smith. Critics intent on discrediting the Restoration point to DNA studies on indigenous American peoples in an attempt to expose Joseph, the Book of Mormon, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as frauds. Claiming that scientific evidence excludes any possibility that Middle Eastern or ancient Jewish travelers came to the Americas in antiquity, such critics attempt to sow seeds of doubt in the minds of Latter-day Saints and those of other faiths concerning the authenticity of the Book of Mormon as an ancient religious text.
Are these studies credible? Do the data actually show what the critics claim? Do they discredit the Book of Mormon, or is there biological and other scientific evidence that supports the claims that it is indeed an ancient record of a people that once inhabited the Americas?
The Foundation for Apologetic Information and Research (FAIR) interviews scholars and scientists to answer these important questions and reveals the faith-affirming truth that not only are the critics' conclusions and methods flawed, but that there is credible scientific evidence in favor of the Book of Mormon as an ancient religious text.
Dang!
I'm starting to take on characteristics of Joseph Smith!!!
I gotta get OUTTA deez threads!!!
As usual; you have it backward.
The RM said it did not matter what YOU wanted; he(she?) makes the rules here.
Done for a while.
Gotta relocate a possum and then eat some breakfast.
Watch out for the bad weather we Midwesterners have been threatened with tomorrow.
THX 1138

Anyone in their right mind should shoot when they are ambushed by a raging mob

Yeah like the LORD Jesus Christ of the Christian Bible did..
oh wait...
meanwhile those Mormon and Freemason buddies of Smith’s outside the Carthage jail were raging at Joey Smith for the crimes he had committed in Nauvoo ..
for trying to rape Mrs. Law wife of William Law, for destruction of private property, for setting his guerrilla mob onto them and endangering their lives..for illegally declaring martial law and taking over their town thus denying them their Constitutional rights..
Americans don’t take kindly to dictators..
Id like to see you stand still when Obama sets his civilian army onto you and takes away your freedom....
the Freemasons were upset because Joey Smith had taken their secret ceremonies and made them into a mockery he could use for his own profit..
The secrets he had sworn a blood oath that he would take his own like or let it be taken if he ever told..
and that’s really all that happened ..
either than they shot back at a mongrel cur..
Frankly I would not have taken Joey Smith into the Girl Scouts...
and I certainly would not have trusted him to sell cookies...
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, It was Jesus Himself who named this Church.

Bible scripture on that ???
Don’t bother theres none ...
meanwhile your jesus shoots at “raging mobs”..
Mine doesn’t ...The LORD Jesus Christ of the Christian Bible went to His death like a lamb to the slaughter..
Anyone in their right mind should shoot when they are ambushed by a raging mob...
_______________________________________
but someone who are committed the evil crimes that Joey Smith had committed would not be in their right mind..
:)
Paul’s father is mentioned in the Bible...Paul talks of his “old man”
:)
that’s what happens when reading trash form liars
_______________________________________
Id stop reading that book of Mormon if I was you..
it only gets you riled up ..
they never get their facts straight
____________________________________
Huh Mormons do seem to do that a lot..thats deliberate..
but the Christians in these threads are very careful to post only those things that were actually said by your Mormon masters..
word verbatim ...
the purpose to generate contempt from the simple minded
______________________________________
Yeah that simple minded joey Smith was always ready to beat up people in the street or in his bar...
He had contempt for everybody..
from the simple minded who is always too eager to believe the worst...
____________________________________
that would be the sheeple Joey Smith gathered around him..
he did tend to lie about the character of God and of His only begotten Son the LORD Jesus Christ..
Smith made Jesus out to be the worst of womanizers and murderers..
and unfortunately the simple minded were coerced into believing him..
but that’s coming to an end..
On March 14 Tommy Monson who has the reins now of Joey Smith’s scam is going to face charges for criminal financial fraud..
He will have to finally answer for the 180 years of stealing from people and the promising of pie in the sky to defraud people of their money..
but more important the UK have Monson like the US got Al Capone..tax cheat..
yeah I thought that was sweet..
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, It was Jesus Himself who named this Church.

If it troubles you just refuse to believe...
They were in jail, where did the gun come from?
Driven out, then why didn’t all lds leave?
The ones who fled did so because their time was up, people were sick of their law breaking and trouble making.
