If you are staking Joseph Smith's reputation and authenticity on something then it needs to be lock tight and bullet proof. :)

Chiasmus IS NOT an ancient form of writing like you are making it seem. Chiasmus is a literary device where letters in words are place traded, which the Hebrews were quite fond of and used all through the writing of the Old Testament. I think offering this as proof of Joseph Smith's authenticity is not a legitimate argument. All it means is that someone found characters out of place in some transliterations among his "translations" of the "Reformed-Egyptian" that he was claiming to interpret.

Many attend a service on Easter Sunday -- called Resurrection Sunday -- that usually focuses on Christ's atonement. Some watch "The Lamb of God," a Mormon Easter video dramatizing the events of Christ's last days and his resurrection. Some also read the resurrection story and have a family lesson on it.

@omiolo I agree. That's why I find it crazy when people say that the Book of Mormon COULD NOT be true. Why couldn't it? That's what the "...??" was about.

@mrmn8honeybee to dictate to God what He did is blasphemy, do deny His works is even worse.

n whatever way befits you, keep a record of your experiences. It is a way to acknowledge God in our lives as we go forward, Cox said. Your personal and personalized record could benefit someone down the road in ways you could have never anticipated.

Jesus is God.

God is almighty.

But God could NOT have come across the sea to preach in America. To say so is blasphamy!

He led us a short distance to a place where were the ruins of three altars built of stone, one above the other, and one standing a little back of the other, like unto the pulpits in the Kirtland Temple, representing the order of three grades of Priesthood; "There," said Joseph, "is the place where Adam offered up sacrifice after he was cast out of the garden.

Heber C. Kimball: The Prophet Joseph called upon Brother Brigham, myself and others, saying, "Brethren, come, go along with me, and I will show you something."
