But I HAVE gotten past Joe and his book.
It appears to ALL non-Mormons that the one who lacked understanding was Joseph and his facsimile 'translation'.
I am not so ignorant that I cannot discern between a 'translation' by someone who had NO knowledge of EGYPTIAN hieroglyphics and a group of people who have made it their life's work to do so.
But I HAVE gotten past Joe and his book.
You only think you have.
It will be unfortunate for a great many, to find out Joseph is the Prophet of this dispensation and every word of the Book of Mormon is true while every human reference to the contrary is a lie, or deception by men with an agenda doing the work of the Father of lies.
Perhaps unknowingly but facsimile translation is another in a long list of stuff being put out for the gullible to use to accuse. With all the deception, it is so easy to find yourself caught up in disbelief. By their fruits you shall know them. It takes a lot of ignorance to over look where Joseph’s information comes from.
