Totally sig-worthy.
May I?
Of course. It isn't mine, but it is definitely sig worthy. I vaguely remember someone having a sig similar to it some time ago.

When Joe Smith tried to pass off the Funeral Scroll as The Book Of Abraham,he was totally unware that just a couple of years before French Scholars had "Cracked" the Hieloglyphics Code,and could now read most Egyptian Texts. He thought he was safe because nobody could read the scroll.He was wrong. Within a couple of years, The Book Of Abraham was exposed as a fraud.
Persecution of Mormons, of course!Michael Rhodes , a BYU professor with an extremely impressive vita, is one of the experts who delved into the hieroglyphs of the papyri claimed as the source of Joseph Smith's translations. He agreed with other non-Mormons.
It doesn't matter if all of the texts/papyri were available, as your referenced previous post implied, does it Janadele?
I'm confused. Is he lying? What is his motive?
A reminder that the topic of THIS thread is LDS, not "anti-Mormon" or "whatever". Those who have no interest in the actual Doctrines and Teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints should state their beliefs in a more appropriate thread.
Of course.
A Prophet, Seer and Revelator, as was Joseph Smith, has far superior knowledge and inspiration... plus Revelation, from the Lord God and creator of this earth. His words are the truth.
I'll have to thank you Janadele. Your actions go to great length to keep people from ever believing in the great con that is Mormonism.
I repeat: The Pearl of Great Price is official Scripture and therefore official Doctrine of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The Book of Abraham is a part of the Pearl of Great Price.
"A Translation of some ancient Records that have fallen into our hands from the catacombs of Egypt. The writings of Abraham while he was in Egypt, called the Book of Abraham, written by his own hand, upon papyrus."
See History of the Church, 2:235–36, 348–51.

It's very human to feel prosecuted when you have to revise what you thought was the truth.
Luckily, those who admit the truth of things in their lives, have no need for you to be punished, or hated, or suffer eternal damnation.
In fact I just feel pity for you. Don't you know how special we, one of a kind cretures are in this universe? You, yourself, are creating and sustaning whatever it is you are. Are you peaceful? Tolerant? Awake?
All you have to do is allow your ego to admit it was wrong. Not really much of a persecution.
Janadele, please wake up.
LOL more evidence that you have not read my past posts.Janadele, before you became a Mormon yourself, how much time and energy did you spend persecuting the Mormons? How many lies did you spread about them? How may books did you publish for the sake of leading people away from the LDS before you decided to join them?

Post 202I have always been a Christian, was raised an Anglican, fellowshipped with the Salvation Army. Assisted with the Billy Graham Crusades at the young age of eleven. Married in the Anglican Church. At home with my first child as a three month old baby, a knock came to my door. Though not knowing who was there, when the knock came, I was overwhelmed with a desire to open the door. Two young men stood there. I had no knowledge of them or why they were there, but the desire to speak with them was overwhelming. I had never before that even heard of the Book of Mormon, Latter-day Saints or the LDS Church. I was asked to read the first few chapters and to pray to Jesus Christ and enquire as to whether it was true. On doing so, a burning within and a flood of knowledge overcame my being, there was no denying the truthfulness of The Book of Mormon and the message the LDS Missionaries had delivered to my door personally to me from the Lord. I was told I was a "golden contact" and that the Missionaries, though not even in the area, had been inspired to travel specifically to my home.
