Therefore, when Jesus referred to the least part of the law and the prophets, which He Himself inspired to be written with their full vowel markings included for clarity, He had to be referring to vowel markings as well.

I missed this one. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA. That is funny. The Hebrew/Aramaic that Jesus spoke had no vowel marks. Again, take a look at the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Do ya suppose little john is making it up as he goes, or is he spouting some esoteric gobbledigoop LDS teaches in their ‘secret preisthood’ classes?

I’m thinking making it up as he goes.

I disagree. just like slc mormons, they receive various 'teaching' and unchallenged information to support their faith. Fake teaching projected as fact, faith promoting 'stories', etc.

Perhaps, but it is often spread informally more than through formal classes. I don’t know enough about the RLDS meeting structure to know about how their priesthood classes and such are run.

Hebrew structure is such that a particular form of the word (sans vowels) is recognizable and carries a certain meaning. So your claim that an absence of vowels would have led to meaning changes is errant.

In Tanakh - The Holy Scriptures, published by the Jewish Publication Society, at Ezekiel 16:30, a footnote indicates that the words for "How sick was your heart", through a change in vocalization (which involves vowels), yields "How furious I was with you". Several other examples of changes in meaning with changes in vocalization are shown in the book's footnotes.

In my opinion you both are. When I start to think I know all there is to know about the cult of Mormonism, I learn some more. Keep up the good work.

An unlearned person such as myself wouldn't have know how to debunk the Mormon talking points being espoused on this thread, now I do.

Again, do you have any experience in translation? If you did, you would know that context determines how something is read, not vowel points.

vocalization changes involve the shortening of other letters than vowels. If you had Hebrew you would know that.

Thank you but it is all God not me. I used to lament my time in the LDS cult, but now I see what man means for evil, God uses for good. My time in Mormonism gave me a heart for the LDS and a knowledge that I wouldn’t have had. It also got me started in my love of Biblical studies, theology and history.

If Romney is nominated the mainstream media enemies of America in America will dig the source for this fantasy out and splay it all over TV and print.

Then LOTS of MORMONs would be exposed to the truth that we Flying Inmen would NEVER reach!

SOME of them would then come to know the FALSENESS of MORMONism and accept the TRUE Jesus as Savior!

I'd be willing to take four more years of OBAMA to save mens souls!!

(But, ELSIE; 4 more years of OBAMA might cause MORE souls to be lost than MORMONs to be saved!

What to do?????????)

I believe that it is actually a rooftop statue.

Here is the base of a ground level one.

Hey John!

You never DID show us where the RESTORED GOSPEL could be found in the BoM.

Well, if you look closely, it is no longer a roof ‘top’ statue since it has broken through the roof and entered the attic region.

It lost it's way while headed to the ARCTIC region, to eat those drowned polar bears that are floating about.
