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.
The LORD Jesus Christ said to Teppe “I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man or woman comes to the Father except by ME” (John 14:6)
Hi sweetie..
How are you ???
Give your source...
Faulty reasoning. Jesus identified Himself as being part of the Godhead (trinity). Moreover He also identified himself as fully human and fully God.
That you do not understand is not God’s fault.
A leap of faith is not from here to there. It is from here.
did you watch this video already?
This video is 57 mins long and you been here already pushing your bias with out facts...
Again I must agree with you.
Doing great, working on the ministry and doing some writing. Just spent the week with fellow inmans Tminus and 4merliberal
Do your own homework, and I pinged Zilla who is the go to guy for DNA
In all honesty this is bias, because not one of your have watch this video yet but all claim to know?
This is the things the father of lies does continue disinformation and for what reason?
Because the desire for truth is not in people like this...
do you have a spare peep stone ???
I can find a hat...
never heard of it!
why do we need to watch a video put out by followers of a false prophet when we have the real thing written in the Bible ???
Yes we know because we read the Bible..
it shows..

Not my fault. The DNA is one of the most damning evidences against the LDS claims.
The problem is the motivation for those ‘good qualities’. They are trying to get people to convert (often by lying) and are trying to earn godhood and ‘do their part’ in earning their salvation.
However, once you leave, esp if you become a Christian, they shun you, lie and gossip about you and turn on you very quickly. My ministry is helping those who have left Mormonism for Christianity deal with those kinds of issues so I see them every single day and see the damage those ‘nice people’ do to others.
