@moparmonster1965 ...And the 'Christian Jesus' healed lepers, turned water to wine, and brought a man back from the dead. He predicted the destruction of the temple at (or shortly after) his crucifixion. I dont know about you, but to me, these things dont make much sense either. The fact that Jesus Christ knows all things that are expedient for him to know (if not all things) probably qualify him to quote whoever, whenever, and however he feels, regardless of a timeline.

@chbrules - I think you'll actually find, if you open up your eyeballs, is that LACK of morals in today's society is what is destroying the world. The creed "Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die" leaves people spiritually destitute.

@TheJuliet579 - Nothing personal, but I'd like to offer a suggestion. Grammar, spelling and punctuation go a long way in making a good case for your position.

(the church of jesus christ of the latter day saints) we r da only 1s wif the lords name in it meaning the church belongs to him 2. in our church the 1st thing we care about is da families 3.we help others who need more help den we do 4.we have a temple dat makes us feel lyk we a r in heaven nd5. our church is a well organized church wif leaders to help. my dad is a bishop in our ward,ever since his calling my family has changed, Proud 2 b a saint

FUCK ALL RELIGION. YOU BRAINWASHED FREAKS ARE DESTROYING THE WORLD WITH YOUR MORAL SUPERIORITY COMPLEXES. YOUR SHITTY GOD IS AS REAL AS SANTA CLAUSE. GROW UP.

[moparmonster1965]

@majinish You've clearly missed the point. The Mormon jesus attributed the words of Peter, a paraphrase of Moses' words, to Moses himself.

That's a problem. Not only that, he uses identical word-for-word speech found in a text not yet written by men not yet born, and then put into a dialect that hadn't yet evolved on another continent.

Does that make any sense to you? Me neither.

[moparmonster1965]

@majinish You brought up chiasmus as support for the BOM being ancient and I showed you that Smith was able to use it as part of his regular speech, which would negate that claim. Were Smith's claims of studying the Bible for 12 years before the BOM was first published, he should've been able to duplicate that fairly well, which the D&C sections demonstrate.

[moparmonster1965]

If you accept chiasmus, however, the BOM must be a literal word-for-word translation, which would then bring into play the fact that we have Elizabethan English all through it. How would the fictional Nephites be able to speak a regional-specific dialect that hadn't yet evolved on another continent?

[moparmonster1965]

What you offer as evidence is flimsy at best, and is easily refuted. Sure, I'm asking for proof and have yet to see any.
