Is the Book of Mormon a translation of an ancient record?

@davidHenkel20 @PiousParaDoxed It’s a real time audio chat on X, others can join and listen

[Seasoned Realist @SeasonedRealist]

@davidHenkel20 @PiousParaDoxed Date / time you’d prefer for the x space?

[Seasoned Realist @SeasonedRealist]

@davidHenkel20 @PiousParaDoxed “Unlike the bible” this part

[Seasoned Realist @SeasonedRealist]

@davidHenkel20 @PiousParaDoxed "it is always changing unlike the Bible"

Care to defend this point of view on an X space?

[Seasoned Realist @SeasonedRealist]

@davidHenkel20 And what do you think is the word of God?

[Seasoned Realist @SeasonedRealist]

Your entire epistemology is predicated on skipping over “physical evidences” for “spiritual evidence”. One of the fundamentals in following the prophet is he is “not limited by man’s reasoning” and doesn’t need any “earthly training”

This is intellectual childishness

[SWOLE Nephi 💪🏻 @LargeInStature_]

It's literally the other way around.

[Seasoned Realist @SeasonedRealist]

@sangriaenjoyer It’s more accurate to say that that event is necessary but not sufficient. It doesn’t hinge only on that. It hinges on other things too.

[Seasoned Realist @SeasonedRealist]

@stackerco @pimomormon This is a common trope in religions. Second temple Jewish texts have Adam speaking Hebrew. Muslims think Adam spoke Arabic

[Seasoned Realist @SeasonedRealist]

@j_divis That’s a pretty poor excuse. I could link you hundreds of informative ones.

I wish you wisdom and sincere desire to learn, refraining from engaging in a discussion about your beliefs / poo-pooing the word debate is a big tell that you don’t take learning seriously.

[Seasoned Realist @SeasonedRealist]

It looks like satire. I couldn't believe it.

Open invite to James to have a long-form X space discussion about this.

Learning to think means learning things.

[Seasoned Realist @SeasonedRealist]

@FireproofFloor Not wrong

@j_divis I invited you to a long form discussion, not interested in tweet forms / misreadings prolonged across hours / days. This is unserious.

You can’t issue the Crowder meme where he has one on one convos and then say you’re not into that.

@j_divis "Change my mind" ............. ??????

Ok 👍

[Seasoned Realist @SeasonedRealist]

Mormons really are analogous to flat earth / ancient giants/ aliens built the pyramids groups

I invite you to be able to have serious critical conversations about your beliefs.

Your invite to learn is functionally like a trans activist "inviting" others to "learn"

Alternatively, if your claims are unfounded, "learn" isn't the right verb
