Book Of Mormon Evidences In Ancient America

[Dchsknight]

You feel all that when looking into a newborn’s eyes? Wow! That’s scary!

I agree to disagree. I have read and compared teachings of the two books. Their teachings coincide quite nicely for me.

Agreed. He is not. The Nicene Council on the other hand…

Jash I doubt you Have even read the nicene Creed.

Oh dear!
You really are decieved my friend and I have a very bad feeling that you will be very hard to convince.
I hope you will come out from one of satans antichrist cults before it’s too late for you.
Yes I’m being blunt, but I want you to wake up.
The Lord Jesus Christ is ready to recieve you to himself, but you need to come out from the evil soul damning mormon ‘church’, and repent before satan drags you down to hell.
There is only one way to heaven and that is through the Lord Jesus Christ and his precious shed blood. There is no other way and the Bible is the ONLY word of God. Please dont die in your sins. Come to Christ as the poor wretched sinner that you are and ask him to forgive you and he will.

Then you would know that the Nicene Council was lead by men who fervently sought after God and was protected by the Holy Spirit.

The first myth we need to eliminate is that Book of Mormon archaeology exists. Titles on books full of archaeological half- truths, dilettanti on the peripheries of American archaeology calling themselves Book of Mormon archaeologists regardless of their education, and a Department of Archaeology at BYU devoted to the production of Book of Mormon archaeologists do not insure that Book of Mormon archaeology really exists. If one is to study Book of Mormon archaeology, then one must have a corpus of data with which to deal. We do not. The Book of Mormon is really there so one can have Book of Mormon studies, and archaeology is really there so one can study archaeology, but the two are not wed. At least they are not wed in reality since no Book of Mormon location is known with reference to modern topography. Biblical archaeology can be studied because we do know where Jerusalem and Jericho were and are, but we do not know where Zarahemla and Bountiful (nor any other location for that matter) were or are. It would seem then that a concentration on geography should be the first order of business, but we have already seen that twenty years of such an approach has left us empty-handed (Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought, Summer 1969, pp.76-78). Dee Green

Dee Green, assistant professor of Anthropology at Weber State College, has written an article for Dialogue. This article is very critical of “Book of Mormon archaeology,” and this is very significant because Mr. Green was at one time deeply involved in archaeological work at the Mormon church’s Brigham Young University.

This guy, a Mormon scholar, search for twenty years for any evidence. He’s a MORMON!

Amen, Who ever the heck you are, AMEN!

Amen!!! I have always thought that Joseph Smith probably did have a vision, but it wasn’t from God! It was a wolf in sheeps clothing!
2 Corinthians
Chapter 11
13 For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, who masquerade as apostles of Christ. 14 and no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light. 15 So it is not strange that his ministers also masquerade as ministers of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

I know very well that how LDS determine whether or not a prophet is a prophet has everything to do with Archeological evidences of the Book of Mormon in the Americas?

fool, false prophets do not produce scripture.

As for the question itself though. I know in the same way most people know who are truly sincere about their religion. Through personal study and prayer to God. I imagine that is why you believe in Catholicism? Or is it because history, logic, or your friend told you it was true?

Perhaps you should read your Bible more, especially the parts where it tells you how to beware of false prophets and false teachings.

That would not follow from merely reading the Creed but I do believe those men did fervently seek after god. However I do not know nor do I believe that council was “protected by the Holy Spirit.”

The council was convened by a roman emperor trying to consolidate Christian doctrine by having its leaders gather and formally answer whether or not God and Christ were one in purpose or one in being. They could not come to an agreement and the result was the Nicene Creed. Essentially a compromise between the two lines of thought.

Despite this and all following creeds the same question is still debated today. Each creed contains further compromise. I believe It is of these creeds that the Lord spoke when he said “all their creeds [are] an abomination in [my] sight” when he first visited Joseph Smith.

In other words you don’t know. I can understand that. There is a lot we don’t know either. Tell me about this “Journal of Discourses” Where did it come from? Who put it together? Do you know?

(btw: Journal of Discourses is nowhere listed as LDS scripture.)

Please don’t patronize me, Jash. I was LDS for a long time and served a mission, taught many classes and held many responsible positions, including bishop’s counselor. I know the JoD is not scripture and I know how it came to be published. The scriptures I posted were from the PoGP. Go and look.

.
Satanic is right! Their Nauvoo Temple has pentagrams all over it!!! Not only are there pentagrams, they are upside down pentagrams!!! They don’t see this demonic sublime message because they really believe what their “prophets” tell them, and of course they always mention the fact that their Church has Jesus Christ’s name in the title! Well, I am here to tell you that the wolf will come in sheeps clothing, and boy did he!

Oh my good girl have you got that wrong. Those are stars as in the sun, moon and stars which represent the three degrees of glory spoken of in the bible.

I’m sorry I must have misunderstood your post. I thought you were inferring everything above that was scripture not necessarily an above post. I’m still having trouble finding a post of yours quoting the PoGP. Can you provide a link?

the occult: anything supernatural or paranormal achieved by means other than god’s.

Sound’s like witch hunting to me.

I asked to have my name removed from the records of the church in 1986. After learning the true history and teachings of the LDS church, and becoming convinced that the BoM and the Book of Abraham were 19th century works of fiction, I could not be a hypocrite and stay in that church.

If the Shoe fits. Mormonism is a tool of the devil.
