DNA and The Book of Mormon Explained full-length video
FAIR MORMON ^ | Published on Feb 18, 2013

Posted on 02/24/2014 7:28:13 PM PST by restornu

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.

ended up trapping JS and his brother in a Jail, and don’t wait for the Law
____________________________________

Smiths Freemason buddies all Mormons shot back after Smith murdered 2 of them and wounded another..

if Smith didn’t want to be shot he shouldn’t have started it and tried to shoot his way out of the jail where he was rightfully arrested for destruction of property and inciting a riot and threatening and endangering the lives of the citizens of Nauvoo ..

and some other things..

you did know Nauvoo was still in the United States and thus all residents including self crowned “king” Joey Smith were all subject to prosecution for willfully breaking the laws ???

Smith was never above the law just because he said so...

oh and it was Smith who shot his brother Hiram in the back..

the Mormons caused most of the trouble..

starting with Joey Smith in New York state..

and Brigham Young was responsible for the murders of 120+ unarmed peaceful American men women children and babies and the kidnapping for ransom of several young children..

I don’t even know who you are talking about..

you haven’t bothered to name them..

and they probably do have a mean streak as you call it..

you haven’t proved they aint..

have you bothered to ask them if they believe the book of Mormon and if they believe that joey Smith was a p0rphet of God..

Tell them that tall tale of Smith’s about there not being a church body on earth at the time of Jean Chauvin ...

tell it as though it really happened..

That will really bring out a mean streak..

hey ya do know that Jean Chauvin was one of those Christian pastors that Joey smith and his gang hated and mocked in their temple ceremonies don’t you ???

and that Jean Chauvin would never have believed that Joey Smith was a prophet of God ???

and in fact that Jean Chauvin would have said Joey Smith was of the devil ???

and that Jean Chauvin would have tarred and feathered Joey Smith and run him out of town on a rail ???

Jean Chauvin wasn’t a milk toast mealy mouthed weakling..

and did Jean Chauvin have one of your dreaded mean streaks ???

Just WOW...

Don’t blame me because none of you don’t listen to the RM instructions.

And don't blame me for you listing to SLC's instructions.

You are deceived; or else a deceiver.

but even we Calvinists denounce Mormonism as a fraud...

After the MORMONs call you Calvinists part of

the Whore of BABYLON??


  "Both Catholics and Protestants are nothing less than the 'whore of Babylon' whom the Lord denounces by the mouth of John the Revelator as having corrupted all the earth by their fornications and wickedness. Any person who shall be so corrupt as to receive a holy ordinance of the Gospel from the ministers of any of these apostate churches will be sent down to hell with them, unless they repent"
 
 (The Seer, p. 255  Orson Pratt )
