DNA and The Book of Mormon Explained full-length video

FAIR MORMON ^ | Published on Feb 18, 2013

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.

Mormon was a prophet on the western hemisphere from the tribe of Joseph.

The Bible is the record of Judah

Prophets from the OT:

Northern kingdom (Israel), viz., Hosea, Amos, Joel, Jonah.

Judah, viz., Isaiah, Jeremiah, Obadiah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah.

Captivity, viz., Ezekiel and Daniel.

Restoration, viz., Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi.

Prophecies of Joseph Smith

History of the Church Prophecy about Jesus' return within 56 years

Doctrine and Covenants Prophecy that the temple would be built in Missouri within Smith's Generation

All Nations would be involved in the American Civil War

The earth will tremble and the sun be hidden in "not many days".

Pearl of Great Price Prophecy that Isaiah 11 was about to be fulfilled

Sorry, Joseph Smith or mormon are not prophets and there is no mention of them in the OT (Bible )

prophet

1. a person who speaks for God

Many of you I have fond spot in my heart even though you are so ornery at times it only human....

As you grow in your Christianity you put away those things...

1 Cor 13

Paul discusses the high status of charity—Charity, a pure love, excels and exceeds almost all else.

1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as‍ sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor,‍ and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

4 Charity suffereth‍ long, and‍ is kind; charity envieth‍ not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not‍ her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be‍ prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be‍ tongues, they shall cease; whether there be‍ knowledge, it shall vanish away.

9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is‍ charity.

Im not a guy Im a cute 65 year old woman...

I don’t use the term Mormon as a nickname ...

the Mormons themselves called themselves Mormon..

after all they had their own religious writings called the book of Mormon long before any Christians knew about Joey Smith and his new religion..

all Christians knew about Joey Smith is that he was arrested several times for peepstone looking and cheating people by promising to find hidden treasure ..

he later used that same “peep stone” to pretend to translate the book of Mormon...

all his neighbors knew about the Smiths is that they dabbled in witchcraft and stole sheep to do it ..

Joey Smith was lazy and never held a job..

his new religion was a way to make money from suckers and to get himself fresh young girls for sex ..

and to have power over other people and to get them to do his bidding...

Smith carried a talisman, a Jupiter charm designed to give him all power over people ...

he carried in all his life ..it was in his pocket in June 18844 when he got himself killed in a shoot out..

one of the reasons he was running for the office of president of the United States was to get power over the whole country in actuality..

He considered himself already the king of America..he had crowned himself “king of the world”..and his followers al treated him like a king...bowing to him and singing his praises..

as they do today...

and called themselves Mormons..

Christians were the enemy for Joey Smith..

the early Mormons were not Christians and Joey Smith hate Jesus and Christianity..and the Bible..

Just like it the beginning of the creation in 7 days the Lord’s time table is different from ours!:)

I would have to read and ponder over those things before making a snap judgment and let the spirit of the Lord edify.

[restornu]

some in the NT thought Jesus was going to return soon...

Here we are two thousand years later that is a long soon..

1 Corinthians

13b but the greatest of these is charity.
__________________________________________

Of which Mormons don’t practice..

of the MILLIONS of dollars the Morg in SLC rake in every year barely 1% goes to charity..and that in the form of a loan..

but then those scriptures are from the Christian Bible..

and the Bible is not believed or practiced by Mormons..

The Bible is a lifestyle for Christians..

but not for Mormons..

I would have to read and ponder over those things before making a snap judgment

Yes well you’ve had about an hour and a half to ponder over whee in the bible the words saints AKA LDS might be found..

or saints ...or LDS...

[greyfoxx39]

550 posts on this thread and none of the FR mormons are on here helping restornu out.

Where are the ones that jump on nearly every mormon thread calling the Inmans liars and unChristian? At home, hiding their faces in shame that they have been betrayed by leaders who have now said that the precepts they have lived all their lives by are nothing but "mistakes" and lies.

I'd be hiding myself if I were still mormon!

[restornu]

That is not an accurate report but what else is new...

the knowledge is out there for those who really care!

Zilla the Mormons are in major panic mode...

Yep, of course they are - their 'profit' cannot dig themselves out of the hole they are in fast enough. They are spinning faster than an Texas tornado.

[Godzilla]

And so is a NFL football team - so your point is . . . . . .
