DNA and The Book of Mormon Explained full-length video

FAIR MORMON ^ | Published on Feb 18, 2013

Miraculous claims surrounding the coming forth of the Book of Mormon are an evidence of the prophetic calling of Joseph Smith. Critics intent on discrediting the Restoration point to DNA studies on indigenous American peoples in an attempt to expose Joseph, the Book of Mormon, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as frauds. Claiming that scientific evidence excludes any possibility that Middle Eastern or ancient Jewish travelers came to the Americas in antiquity, such critics attempt to sow seeds of doubt in the minds of Latter-day Saints and those of other faiths concerning the authenticity of the Book of Mormon as an ancient religious text.

Are these studies credible? Do the data actually show what the critics claim? Do they discredit the Book of Mormon, or is there biological and other scientific evidence that supports the claims that it is indeed an ancient record of a people that once inhabited the Americas?

The Foundation for Apologetic Information and Research (FAIR) interviews scholars and scientists to answer these important questions and reveals the faith-affirming truth that not only are the critics' conclusions and methods flawed, but that there is credible scientific evidence in favor of the Book of Mormon as an ancient religious text.

These are two Prophets from Israel a day will come of the discovery of the records of these two from Israel.

Zenock—prophet of Israel and of the lineage of Joseph1

Zenos—prophet of Israel and of the lineage of Joseph1

when Lehi family left Jerusalem during the distruction.
___________________________________________

Was the Lehi family listed in any census in the Bible ???

Which tribe and family line are they suppose to be from ???

Getting back to the copy of the Old testament that this fictious family is suppose to have...

after the carrying away to Babylon they captives returned to rebuild Jerusalem..

Nehemiah was in charge of the building and he had Ezra read the only copy of “the book of the law” to the people ..

regular Jews didn’t have a copy of the laws of Moses and the prophets...they were too precious too holy..

they were kept in the Temple or with the Levites when they went into captivity..

but wherever the laws were there would only have been one or just a few...one in each synagogue maybe

When the Jews went to the synagogue they took turns reading out loud the words of Moses, Isaiah and the other prophets..

I don’t see God giving a regular Jew a copy of the laws and telling them to leave the promised land forever...

Israel was a reward to the Jews...a land set aside just for them..

for God to have banished this Lehi family (they sound Hawaiian) from the promised land, they must have displeased him..

All the major and minor prophets of Israel up to 600BC are mentioned in the Christian Bible...

Kid Ive studied all the prophets in Old Testament classes in regular college and in 2 years of Bible College..

and read the Bible through every year for nearly 60 years..

and studied it during those years..

These guys are not there...

and there is no Josephl in the Bible..

who was the father of either of these guys ???

and which tribe were the Lehi family from ???

Believe me Restornu when I say Joey Smith made those names up...

He was a liar and he thought he could just mock the Living God of Israel and get away with it ...

But God destroyed Joey Smith for the liar and the swindler he was...

America is the Promise Land look at how much America brought to the world.
________________________________

Well look what England and Europe brought..

The early Americans were from Europe..

America would not have had a chance to contribute anything to the world if it hadn’t been for a certain carpenter in Israel in whom Christians of the last 500 years from Spain and France and Holland and England believed..

The belief in the LORD Jesus Christ which was brought to this country and influenced the Founding fathers and the writing of the Constitution came with Christians from Europe..from the 1500s on..

No America is not the promised Land...never has been..

Though God kissed this land and made her great, we are not the apple of His eye..

Israel is the promised land and God has not changed His mind on that..

The Temple will be rebuilt in Jerusalem..

Jerusalem is in Israel in the Middle East and the Jerusalem in which God will reign for a 1,000 years is that same one..in Israel in the Middle East..

the land of America is not even mentioned in prophecy as surviving in the end times..

It might but what does it matter ???

Israel will still be here..

1- Was the Lehi family listed in any census in the Bible ???

There are a lot of people who aren’t listed.

2- Which tribe and family line are they suppose to be from ??? These are the children of Joseph Manasseh the other descendance come for Europe mainly UK are of the children of Ephraim.

3- Getting back to the copy of the Old testament that this fictious family is suppose to have...
after the carrying away to Babylon they captives returned to rebuild Jerusalem..

Chapter 10
Lehi predicts that the Jews will be taken captive by the Babylonians—He tells of the coming among the Jews of a Messiah, a Savior, a Redeemer—Lehi tells also of the coming of the one who should baptize the Lamb of God—Lehi tells of the death and resurrection of the Messiah—He compares the scattering and gathering of Israel to an olive tree—Nephi speaks of the Son of God, of the gift of the Holy Ghost, and of the need for righteousness. About 600–592 B.C.

If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

I can only ASSUME, that since you have NOT commented on your leaders comments listed at 273; they do NOT fall into any of these categories.

The Lord commanded them to take them with them from Laban who was an evil man who would have destroyed a whole nation.

I guess MILLIONS dead do not count...

Some day I know beyond a doubt how that so many believe the record will be set straight if anyone cares for truth

It has been set 'stright' before your eyes for ten or more years.

Lord; You are going to have to do it before the girl is BURIED in seeds!

Break up that fallow ground!

[Elsie]

Although the ruling is yours, no one knew there was an “alternative” meaning beyond a nickname

HA!

I've been psycho-analyzed about mine by fellow FReepers!

[Elsie]

psycho emphasized for a reason!!

I am NOT gonna bite and give some ideas about what DB might stand for!!!

Recent discoveries found near the lowered shoreline of Salt Lake have been a sealed box containing an apparent book of 116 Aluminum plates.

BYU Reformed Egyptian language experts have determined that the engravings are a variant - known as Neiu Yawkien dialect.

As translation efforts are ongoing, only snippets have been released to Deseret News to publish.

It appears that the heretofore unknown Kandidites (distant relatives of BOTH Lamanites and Nephites) re-discovered the ancient sport of curling - just as Jesus and the Disciples played it. (No; NOT the grunge band)

As can be seen in a modern picture, the stone (Book of MORMON) is delivered to the house (awaiting world) by the lead (Joseph Smith).

After the 'lead' launches two stones (Ummin & Thummin) then the second (Brigham Young) is on deck.

The sweepers (missionairies) attempt to lubricate the 'stones' path so that it will take out any opposing stones (Christianity etal).

[Elsie]

Well theres no Laban mentioned in the Bible who got anywhere near destroying I presume the Jews...

[Elsie]

Theres only one “Promised land” that’s Israel..

Oh???

Here is a mighty bold PROMISE from the Articles of FAITH : the MORMON creed

10.We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.

And here is ANOTHER bold PROMISE from the Articles of FAITH...
