Re: A New Smear Article: Interpreter Targets Givens and Hauglid

Good catch, good doctor.

Strangely, the review faults Givens for saying translate doesn't mean translate while at the same time saying Joseph giving the representation of the glyphs above the figures in Fac. 3 is... wait for it... something different than translation.

Egyptologist exhume thyself.

Re: A New Smear Article: Interpreter Targets Givens and Hauglid

It has become incontrovertible that the Book of Abraham is not a translation of an ancient Egyptian document.

Re: Top 10 Falsifiable FAIRMORMON Claims

Re: Top 10 Falsifiable FAIRMORMON Claims

I mentioned DCP's disingenuousness regarding his use of the name Alma as a Book of Mormon evidence more than once on the Radio Free Mormon podcast. That's because I was stunned a number of years ago to find out not only that Alma was a man's name in Joseph Smith's time and place, but that DCP knew i...

I can't recall anyone having argued such a thing. But here, in Mormonia, we have a young guy with an MA in Egyptology telling...

Thanks LDS Church.

Former CES director Philip McLemore spills the beans.

Little help?

Hi everybody!

Nice board you have here!
