Your obsession can’t be good for your health. I suggest taking a break, going on holiday or something.


And you are right here with him posting your BS. So who is obsessed and needs a break? Are you secretly talking to yourself? C'mon, you can tell us.

One focal point in a random world can change your direction:
One step where events converge may alter your perception.

1. Either Joseph Smith was a prophet, seer, and translator, or he was not.
2. Either Joseph Smith believed there was a king’s name given in the characters or he did not.

If the answer to both above is YES, then there must be an Egyptian king’s name in the Facsimile.

If either of the above is NO, then we may conclude that Joseph Smith was a liar.

If both of the above are NO, then we may conclude that Joseph Smith was a liar.

I think everyone that has a modicum of education knows that "Pharaoh" was a job title and not a name. As you (my friend Paul) know that it means King King when translated. Joe was a liar.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

Jut imagine if you will, LDS missionaries knocking on your door presenting a pamphlet entitled, "Explanations of Facsimile No. 3". A new door approach, touting the marvelous revelations of the translations of the Mormon prophet who was able to decipher Egyptian prior to the Rosetta Stone breakthrough.

Imagine that.
