Joseph Justified: Examining his detractor's claims

Facsimilie I from the Joseph Smith Papyri has been the center of some rather recent youtuber's videos, and their attempts to discredit the claims of Joseph Smith with regard to the Book of Abraham. This is an attempt to demonstrate their errors and to maintain the still present plausibility of the claims of the restoring prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a faith also known as the "Mormon" faith.

Finally, your "meat" does the very thing that is dishonest. It takes modern 21st century understanding of Egyptian history and tries to synergize it with anything Smith used in his religion. (i.e both talk of afterlife, gods, souls, etc). Where thus you will of course find parallels. They both have humans, both have life and death. These are not particularly observant proofs. They are parallels in the fact it was already known these were RELIGIOUS TEXTS! Religion talks of life, death, afterlife

You really need to understand the situations better than you do. This video is rather old and it's clear that you didn't read the comment section before commenting yourself. I continue addressing these issues in more recent videos. To avoid rehashing things I recommend forestalling judgment until you know more than you presently do.

It is scientifically irrefutable. this one man's presentation is backed up by hundreds of other men and women. Seeing as how one can read them clearly from the actual writings that were made by the Egyptians. And as you try to debunk the Egyptologist, you USE HIS RESEARCH to try to explain how Smith was correct. Even though your explanations in this video of yours is so messed up. The original papyrus HAS the "devil's tail" that you say isn't there. So you're totally off there. Overall your done

If you'd read the comments here you'd see that I concede that I was incorrect on the tail.

And no, that man's explanation isn't backed up by hundreds of other men and women in it's key points and it's underlying assumptions.

Is this ANYTHING which shows that the papyri have anything to do with the BOA. Dr Ritner, a former supervisor of Dr Gee takes the same view as Parker

[HiveRadical]

Dr Ritner comes from an academic legacy at Chicago rich in it's own faux pas and blunders. A majority of the purchases made by the founder of it's Egyptology department--Prof James H. Breasted (the 'father' of Egyptology in the US) were frauds that the museum has

quietly been replacing over the years (it would be kind of embarrassing to yank most of your collection all at the same time--especially when you're suppose to be THE place for studying Egyptology in the Western Hemisphere)

Disagreements among Egyptologists are far from uncommon.

If Joseph SmYth had been a true prophet, he would have told his followers that they could save a ton of money on their car insurance by switching to GEICO!!

It's so easy, even a Lamanite could do it!!

[HiveRadical]

Again. Let's see a compilation of all the actual items they are citing. Let's have them demonstrate their conclusive assertions. And while were at it let each detail their area of specialties within Egyptology. cuz no one man, or even one department of a university, can have the corner on a civilization spanning millenia AND millenia removed from the present.

They have no pro-religious bias. No one is free from the forces of bias because subjectivity forms the core of any human's perception of reality.
