Re: Chapstick owns the apologists on the Liahona
Wordplay is such fun.
Here’s another one on Liahona.
Lee: windward side of a ship.
Hone/hona: that which is greatly desired.
Nephi and his family were blown before the wind toward the promised land. Or, that was true as long as they behaved and the Liahona continued working.

1 Ne 18:8
And it came to pass after we had all gone down into the ship, and had taken with us our provisions and things which had been commanded us, we did put forth into the sea and were driven forth before the wind towards the promised land.

Yeah. Who could possibly think Joseph Smith would, you know, borrow things when creating his religion?

Re: Chapstick owns the apologists on the Liahona
Allan Wyatt, who has never had anything to do with FAIR, raises a really good point.Allan Wyatt wrote:Besides something "special" in the Book of Mormon, you ask for "unique teachings or doctrine" that it contains. I'm curious where you ever got the idea that it SHOULD contain unique teachings or doctrine.

It is a mystery how a critic could possibly come to that idea.

It's definitely not something that the Book of Mormon itself suggests.

That Wyatt. What a card!

Re: Chapstick owns the apologists on the Liahona
I thought that the Mopologists' reaction to Chapstick's observations was remarkable: "What an idiot you are to think that the torpedoes are similar to the liahona!" Then you take a step back and think about all the "parallelism" that they've done before--with the LGT, with "NHM," and on and on and on. Their hypocrisy is just par for the course.

Torpedos to a Liahona, harumph!

Indeed. If the Mopologists had a literary connection as strong as the Late War torpedo's connection to the Liahona, they'd literally never shut up about it.

Hello, Mr. Peterson! I’m glad my image above merited a response on your blog:

You could just credit the Masons, though.
