A little sarcasm is fine. The extreme fonts and screams serves their purpose so they can sit back and say ‘oh, pity us poor persecuted ones’.

[Cronos]

“their” implying
Mormons

[greyfoxx39]

That’s precious. Going into my recipe box today!

[restornu]

You just don’t like his answer.... LOL

[restornu]

There are those who are non LDS disagree in how this process was done for the data is still not availible yet and what Murphy did was use a limite version of testing there is more too it as I said when I come across that imformation what was missing and needed to such a test of that far back!

[Tennessee Nana]

The Ten Commandments...

and Joey Smith broke every one of them in his hatred and rant against God and Christianity in his homemade religion he called mormonism...

[Tennessee Nana]

Wrong when you understand the process of DNA not some wantabe tinkering fool then one will hundreds of years. I have no doubt that there will be even another layer of genitics that Lord has yet to reveal!

[Cronos]

No,not really. you trotted him out, expecting us to say "oh a rabbi". But then he must BE a Rabbi, correct?

Or else it is akin to you, restornu saying "See this article written by Paragon Defender". Namely if you cite someone as "proof" then that someone should be verifiable

This "rabbi" is not in any rabbinical lists. Is he real?

[Cronos]

And yet all historical / genetic / archaeological / linguistic evidence shows that native Americans have no trace of Semitic roots at all.

the Lamanites and Nephites did not exist -- they were made-up, a fictional group of people made-up by J Smith

[Cronos]

“"According to the Book of Mormon, the family of Lehi (a wealthy Hebrew prophet), the family of Ishmael, and Zoram traveled from the Middle East circa 600 BC to the Americas by boat. Some time after the death of Lehi (in the Americas), one of the sons of Lehi, Nephi, overheard that his brothers were plotting to kill him, so Nephi, his family, and his followers left and went into the wilderness­. The followers of Nephi called themselves Nephites. The followers of Laman, Lehi's oldest sons, were called Lamanites.

"Many Latter Day Saints believe that the Lamanites comprise some part, if not the primary origin, of Native Americans. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) appears to accept this position."

They believe that American Indians are the descendant­s of ancient Jews.

This is historically/ genetically / linguistically / archaeologically false

[greyfoxx39]

there is more too it as I said when I come across that imformation what was missing and needed to such a test of that far back!

HUH? Are you gonna put a couple of rocks in a hat and "come across the information what was missing"?

I really don't think this method fulfills the Religion Moderator's requirement for accurate sourcing of claims, (especially when one claims that God's gonna change genetics and DNA!)

[T Minus Four]

Resty: It isn't finished

Jesus: It is finished

Resty: Does not apply here

Everybody:

[T Minus Four]

I love Science Fiction...

Resty: I know you do that is why you adhere to the Nicene Creed

I guess that first line "We believe in on God" was as far as you could get without cracking up, eh?

And the LDS are the ones who believe in personal planets you can populate with your spirit children. How ARE you going to get there, btw?

[Elsie]

That is not fact it is a misrepresentation!

"Mother; I've learned for myself that PRESBYTERIAN is untrue."

And what would you call this LIE?

[Elsie]

Rabbi Nissim Wernick’s Dissertation on the Book of Abraham

Does this guy know that you MORMONs are STILL 'baptizing' their dead ancestors?

[Elsie]

Elsie you don’t even know these men nor do you really know Robert Millett but that does not matter does it Elsie?

No; it DOESN'T matter!

(It mattereth not)

Any fool can READ what they've said and SEE what they do (or don't do)

Show me a FALSEHOOD, you SLANDERer, you!

[Elsie]

Wrong when you understand the process of DNA not some wantabe tinkering fool then one will hundreds of years.

 

UNDERSTAND???  What's to 'understand'?

 

 

Don't you ever READ THE words OF YOUR prophets????

In conclusion let us summarize this grand key, these “Fourteen Fundamentals in Following the Prophet”, for our salvation depends on them.

1. The prophet is the only man who speaks for the Lord in everything.
2. The living prophet is more vital to us than the standard works.
3. The living prophet is more important to us than a dead prophet.
4. The prophet will never lead the church astray.
5. The prophet is not required to have any particular earthly training or credentials to speak on any subject or act on any matter at any time.
6. The prophet does not have to say “Thus Saith the Lord,” to give us scripture.
7. The prophet tells us what we need to know, not always what we want to know.
8. The prophet is not limited by men’s reasoning.
9. The prophet can receive revelation on any matter, temporal or spiritual.
10. The prophet may advise on civic matters.
11. The two groups who have the greatest difficulty in following the prophet are the proud who are learned and the proud who are rich.
12. The prophet will not necessarily be popular with the world or the worldly.
13. The prophet and his counselors make up the First Presidency—the highest quorum in the Church.
14. The prophet and the presidency—the living prophet and the First Presidency—follow them and be blessed—reject them and suffer.

I testify that these fourteen fundamentals in following the living prophet are true. If we want to know how well we stand with the Lord then let us ask ourselves how well we stand with His mortal captain—how close do our lives harmonize with the Lord’s anointed—the living Prophet—President of the Church, and with the Quorum of the First Presidency.

MORMONIC TRANSLATION:

“The current facts only appear wrong. Someday, God will
show us better, deeper facts. He’ll give us a restoration
of the facts! Then, those new facts will show that Taunto
is a Jew!”
