How many have visited Adams actual Alter from the Garden?

Post by _Mahonri »

It is Adam Ondi Ahman, in Missouri. The actual altar per Joseph Smith. When a missionary in the Central States Mission, Independence, Mo. we would be assigned at least twice during the summer to go and gather rocks and re-build the altar. Seems the rocks kept getting taken by visitors. This was in 1967. It must have been re-built or re-piled a hundred or more times by now. Wonder how many faithful saints have a rock from the real Altar Adam personally built now?

Adam never built any such thing, anywhere.

However, since we are talking about the gullible members of LDS Inc, lets say they do believe that the alter in the Adam and Eve Bible story is right where old Joe said it was.

Why do they not believe the Zelph story proclaimed by the same "prophet"?

Perhaps most have never heard of Zelph.

Hard to believe that it wouldn't have been washed away by the Flood.

Of course, it could have had some sort of magical stone super protection like Saruman's tower in Lord of the Rings.

Unless it was a local flood such as the flooding of the Black Sea.

Wonder how many real Altar Adam could be built now out of the rocks from the custody of faithful saints?

I wonder who has Zelph's leg bone, and the arrow? I wonder if any usable DNA could be obtained from this White Lamanite's femur?

ps: Adam's altar. ROFLMAO.

Knock it off, Mahonri.

How am I ever going to meet my reserve on EBAY for these worthless things if you're gonna be carrying on like this??

Shut up, man. Give an honest businessman a break.

As a Missourian, I can tell you, if Eden was in Jackson County, Adam probably had a sweet mullet, Oakleys™, and a reeeeaaally boss 77 Camaro
