You don't pick up on the fact that this is clearly Anti-Mormon material?

Another blog post of mine today. http://www.churchistrue.com/blog/teachi ... h-history/

A couple interesting ideas:

1. we're in the middle of watching the church try to change how history is taught. Oliver's Rod is an interesting case study in how it's doing that.
2. the implication of "study it out" on Book of Mormon translation

Steve is too smart to attempt an aggressive attempt at Book of Abraham apologetics using his Egyptology education and credentials. I see him in a Dan Peterson role, where he's bantering with critics and making very general, vaguish claims when it comes to actual apologetics. He might do some researc...

This is my personal speculation. But I think they're just waiting for a new revelation to reinstitute polygamy. We have got to understand this serious significance of this. They said this was the one and only true Celestial law that could get you to becoming a God your self. Yes Wilford Woodruff th...

I simply do not care how well they might establish the improbability of it happening. The fact is it happened. Everything about Joseph Smith's life is improbable. And improbable stuff happens without God being involved. That's fine. I care. Not that it would be compelling for me but just to evaluat...

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but I think I disagree. Until God is proven dead and every person with at least a few working brain cells all agree that there is no such thing as spiritual inspiration, I disagree the foundation is entirely faulty. But if they're going to prove what they want to prove, ...

The biggest issue, though, that I see with the Skousen-Carmack work, is that I don't think they've demonstrated how impossible it would be for someone in Joseph's time to come up with the Early Modern English Book of Mormon English by simply mimicking the ancient style. No, this isn't the biggest i...

PhysicsGuy, that was an EXCELLENT analysis of this whole phenomenon. I don't know that I've seen a better explanation of that particular Mopologetic tactic. THANK YOU for typing that up! It was brilliant. I find the Skousen-Carmack work fascinating. I think PhysicsGuy does a good job explaining why...

Noted. But there are those like DCP, Nibley, and a host of others that have/did not stopped/stop "believing in apologetics." I agree, some will continue to believe no mater what, but I don't think most Mormon scholars and scientists continue with apologetics. I think it's the opposite wit...

The church obviously changes.

So, what are you assuming? That non-GA members have absolutely no impact on changing the minds of GA's?
