Re: What’s in a name?

I am a lawyer who represents Isis and Ma'at. (They're swell gals. Oh man, the good times.) They're mad as a wet hornet about all of this.

Re: “King Pharaoh, whose name is given in the characters above his head”

Alphus and Omegus, I appreciate your comments, but I have a minor quibble: Joe didn't actually write out "Alphus and Omegus" in D&C 95. What he actually wrote was: "Son Ahman; or, in other words, Alphus; or, in other words, Omegus; even Jesus Christ your Lord." I would appeciate it if you are going ...

What say ye,... RFM?
Are you saying that RFM believes Joe was any sort of a real prophet? Say it ain't so. :|

Re: RFM Vs. Midnight Mormons: My Video on the Epic Debate

https://youtu.be/I7IGcUbOL6U Here is my new video on the epic debate between Radio Free Mormon and the Midnight Mormons. You won't want to miss this! Your video is excellent. And I was particularly taken aback when Kwaku was blathering on about all the "Solomonic" stuff with regard to folk magic. I...

Re: LATTER-DAY SAINT FAITH

No. 3 is a revelation given by the prophet who claimed to identify the person and interpret the writing of the Egyptian vignette. The explanation given therein has been scientifically proven false and therefore the revelation is invalid. This in turn questions the legitimacy of the entire Book of A...

Re: Rasmussen on Chiasmus in the Book of Mormon

I don't know if this has been covered in the thread but D. Michael Quinn had something interesting to say about chiasmus in the Book of Mormon. https://faenrandir.github.io/a_careful_examination/early-mormonism-quinn-footnote-108-chiasmus/ It seems more than plausible to me that Joe or one of his in...

3 NEPHI 18:29 - THE DEVIL IN THE DETAILS

Decades ago I ran across this blunder in the Book of Mormon. I've never run across any other reference to it. So I thought I would post it here for comment. The text in question is 3 Nephi 18:28-32: 28 And now behold, this is the commandment which I give unto you, that ye shall not suffer any one kn...

Re: “King Pharaoh, whose name is given in the characters above his head”

Joseph Smith led his followers to believe that Abraham was so crowned and usurped the throne by the polite permission of the king. Nothing could be further from the truth. No native Egyptian king who honored his birthright would have ever allowed an Asiatic foreigner to sit upon the throne in the p...
