Re: Top 10 Falsifiable FAIRMORMON Claims
To preempt the potential appeal to the Bar Kochba, here is Symmachus' thread where he so generously shared his knowledge of orthography and phonology: http://mormondiscussions.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=49737 So, the name Alma given to a man in Roman times is suppose to prove that Lehi in 600 BC did t...

Re: Top 10 Falsifiable FAIRMORMON Claims
Yeah, that’s pretty shameless of them, Shulem. It is shameless. But now that the matter has been positively resolved in favor of the critics, the apologists should step forward and correct the record. But will they? I doubt it. They haven't corrected Smith's errors regarding Facsimile No. 3, so may...

Re: Names and Reincarnation in Early Mormonism
That’s good evidence on the other side of the question to be sure, Shulem, but I am not certain it falls decisively against the issue. Well then, I think we can rely on Smith's theological teachings of the resurrection as told by Alma (chapter 40) in the Book of Mormon when addressing the space bet...

Re: Top 10 Falsifiable FAIRMORMON Claims
Mormon apologists are deceptive and are actively spreading false information: Alma the Elder At the time Joseph Smith dictated the Book of Mormon, Alma was known only as a woman's name. Recent historical research indicates it may have been a masculine name among Jewish people around 600 B.C., which ...

Jeff Lindsay
Jeff Lindsay Cracked Planet The discovery of “Alma” as an authentic Jewish male name from around the time of Lehi ought to give the critics food for thought, but this find is generally ignored or casually dismissed. Jeff, you're UNINFORMED . Joseph Smith knew the name Alma as a male name from peopl...

Re: Top 10 Falsifiable FAIRMORMON Claims
I'd say that's a slam dunk, and so far uncontested. Just wait till Fat Dan gets the word. He'll be sorry. Mounting Evidence for the Book of Mormon By Daniel C. Peterson 2009 The appearance of two men named Alma in the Book of Mormon has occasioned much comment. Critics observe that Alma is a woman’...

Transmigration a Doctrine of the Devil
Nope, sorry, but Joseph Smith taught no such thing but actually despised the doctrine of reincarnation or multiple appearances from spirit to body. Transmigration a Doctrine of the Devil I told Joshua I did not understand his remarks on the resurrection, and wished him to explain. He replied that he...

Re: Top 10 Falsifiable FAIRMORMON Claims
The Book of Mormon's use of Alma as a man's name has occasioned considerable amusement among uninformed critics of the book. We are not amused, nor are we uniformed! We have the scoop and are sweeping the true piles of dirt that are under the rugs of Mormon scholars. so far as modern scholarship ha...
