Another Mopologism debunked.

Post by _Spurven Ten Sing »

2 Nephi 5:14-15 And I, Nephi, did take the sword of Laban, and after the manner of it did make many swords, lest by any means the people who were now called Lamanites should come upon us and destroy us; for I knew their hatred towards me and my children and those who were called my people. And I did teach my people to build buildings, and to work in all manner of wood, and of iron, and of copper, and of brass, and of steel, and of gold, and of silver, and of precious ores, which were in great abundance.

Don't the panty wads usually claim that "steel" is a mistranslation of "iron" as exists in the KJV?

Whoops...

I guess those guys forgot to to actually read the Book of Mormon.

Ah, but obviously "iron" doesn't mean iron. That'll keep MI going for another 30 years.

To Nephi Seer of olden time,
A vision came from God,
Where in the Holy word sublime,
Was shown an iron rod.

Hold to the rod,
The iron rod,
'tis strong and bright and true...and made from an indeterminable alloy...

This is what happen when one treats the Book of Mormon as an ancient history of a people living in the Americas.
