@HarfadYek@pbabinski91 I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the book of Mormon is not true. I have a deep spiritual burden for mormons. I believe mormons are victims of the greatest deception since Christ walked the earth. I would urge you to research Joseph Smith objectively without LDS bias.
@TracerBuIlet@graeber_mi80871@pbabinski91 I did not say or imply that there is historical evidence for 100% of biblical text. You throw the Garden of Eden card right off the bat... lol.
@graeber_mi80871@pbabinski91 Discernment is a spiritual gift, not a "power." This is from the word of God, the Holy Bible, which I fully embrace, not reject. But I do fully reject the BoM, D&C and PoGP as "the word of God." Satan used JS to distract and divide the believers.
@LyleAffleck@KimHorner281458@pbabinski91 No amount of praying about it will change the truth. Joseph Smith was a skilled storyteller and he has deceived millions of people through the years, just like Muhammad. The BoM is made up. The fact that it is written in KJV should be a red flag. He wanted to sound l "biblical."
@TracerBuIlet@graeber_mi80871@pbabinski91 A combination of things - historical evidence, manuscript reliability, a general agreement among theologians and scholars, and, of course, personal faith.
@KimHorner281458@pbabinski91 There is not room in a comment window to share all of the parts that are false. But there is enough verifiable information out there to prove Joseph Smith was a fraud and discredit him as a prophet. And if JS is not a prophet, then the whole BoM is false.
@pbabinski91 You know this is exactly how Satan works, right? He is the great deceiver. He "masquerades as an angel of light." (2 Corinthians 11:14) Or as a "wolf in sheep's clothing." (Matthew 7:15) We should not base our theology on feelings. "The heart is deceitful..." Jeremiah 17:9
