Anybody reading about the Book of Mormon jesus having an anger fit upon dying, smoting 70,000 - 90,000 people with fiery, watery, and earthy deaths - would have to proclaim John/Jesus re: John 3:17 words as "lyin'" words!

Consider what had happened to Jesus immediately prior - the nation of Israel rejected Him and cruxified Him. Did Jesus vent death and destruction of Jerusalem upon His resurrection - certainly they deserved it, they had heard his very voice. Yet while on the cross Jesus said "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do" Yet to an alledged peoples who hadn't heard his voice, he arrives by killing tens of thousands. That's not my King, thats not my Jesus.

In post #634, I summarized the sequence of events described in the Book of Mormon, showing that the destructions occurred nearly a year prior to the ministry of Jesus Christ in Mesoamerica.

You displayed ignorance of the sequence of events described in the Book of Mormon when you wrote:

Yet to an alledged peoples who hadn't heard his voice, he arrives by killing tens of thousands.

That statement can be proven false by reading the Third Book of Nephi. When Jesus Christ descended in a white robe nearly a year after the destructions that occurred while He suffered on the cross, He taught the people, healed them, blessed their children, etc.

So you have misrepresented what the Book of Mormon teaches. The recent sinkhole tragedy in Book of Mormon lands cannot fail to remind those familiar with the Third Book of Nephi of the destructions that occurred nearly 2000 years ago.

Worth a repost, it’s not my Jesus either.

Yet while on the cross Jesus said “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do” Yet to an alledged peoples who hadn’t heard his voice, he arrives by killing tens of thousands. That’s not my King, thats not my Jesus.
