"The Book of Abraham did not come from JSP 11"

Missing scroll theory still there.
WW Phelps learnt many languages

We need to get a better idea of what was meant by "translate"

Strongest evidence for the missing scroll theory - two inks theory

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

“No evidence that Joseph was translating the document.”


This should be in the dictionary when you look up “cognitive dissonance.”

Yes the Book of Abraham did come from Papyrus Joseph Smith XI. That's all I need to know not to worry about this silly noise. Ignorance prevails until we actually go with what evidence we have instead of inventing ad hoc excuses which lowers the probability for Joseph Smith.

EXACTLY. What this idiot needs to say is there is no evidence that Joseph Smith was translating the document that we Mormons will accept because it doesn't match the Egyptian characters, and we really want to defend Joseph Smith who obviously did not know what he was doing, and lied to us about knowing what he was doing. THAT is what Mormons have to admit.

If only Joseph had been given more time to fully translate the Kinderhook Plates we would have new answers and questions. Both Uranus and Dr. Louis Midgley would testify as to the fullness of the Kinderhook Plates bringing forth the revealed Book of Joseph.
