@sola_chad I miss brother Baucham. I am overwhelmed with joy that he is in the presence of our Lord, but I miss him dearly.

[Michael E. Perry @lcbchefperry]

@AlvedaCKing Amen.

[Michael E. Perry @lcbchefperry]

Because He is a Sovereign God. He has all knowledge, at all time. Everything and everyone was and is made to glorify Him in one way or another.
Judas was ordained as the vessel of destruction and thus his greed was used to serve God’s purpose. God’s perfect knowledge and will came to fruition with Judas’ greed.

@DeseretSaint We are all vessels of God’s wrath save for the salvation of Jesus.

@DorseyGhost @ChrisLoesch @BlueLetterBible Again, click the link. Download the app. Start with the book of John. Let the love of God wash over you. You don’t have to be bitter.

[Michael E. Perry @lcbchefperry]

@elonmusk Nothing else matters if Jesus did not rise from the grave.

[Michael E. Perry @lcbchefperry]

@4th_nephite @ChemBearEsq @ThoughtfulSaint So, the LDS God is not all knowing. Is that your assertion?

[Michael E. Perry @lcbchefperry]

@DorseyGhost @TafkaTrap @therealroseanne @RealCandaceO So, age is your rebuttal for what he said? I’m going to guess, I could be wrong, your in the age group that’s prefrontal cortex is still developing.

[Michael E. Perry @lcbchefperry]

@DorseyGhost @ChrisLoesch @BlueLetterBible <— Mr Ghost, it would behoove your soul to visit this site and download the app. I’m here to guide you through it, should you have questions. You don’t have to live in anger and vulgarity. Jesus is your hope.

[Michael E. Perry @lcbchefperry]

You’re a good husband and one who adheres to Ephesians 5:25. I’ve seen you at church; how you love on Dana as Christ loved on the church. You would easily give your life for Dana…and your children for that matter.
Never doubt your value as a man, husband and father. Now, go mow your lawn, it’s getting out of control. 😂

[Michael E. Perry @lcbchefperry]

@chelle_talky @RealCandaceO You posted accusations as though they are true. It’s incumbent upon you to fact check each one or you’re just gossiping.

[Michael E. Perry @lcbchefperry]

The Bible is unique among ancient literature due to the vast number of hand-copied manuscripts that have been preserved. 

There are approximately 5,800 Greek manuscripts, about 10,000 Latin manuscripts, and over 9,300 manuscripts in other languages (such as Coptic, Syriac, and Armenian), totaling over 25,000 early records. 

Some of the earliest papyrus fragments of the New Testament date to within 30 to 100 years of the original compositions. For example, the John Rylands Fragment (containing portions of the Gospel of John) is dated to roughly A.D. 110–125, which is quite close to the original writing. 

Scholars have identified approximately 300,000 "textual variants" (differences between manuscripts). The overwhelming majority of these are minor, such as spelling differences, word order changes, or synonyms that do not alter the meaning or doctrine of the text.

Because of the sheer volume of manuscripts, scholars can cross-reference them to identify and resolve variations. Sir Frederic Kenyon, a noted biblical scholar, famously stated that the interval between the original composition and the earliest extant evidence is so small that it is "negligible," and that we have essentially the text as it was originally written. 

With all this evidence, how can you claim a great apostasy?

[Michael E. Perry @lcbchefperry]

@w1lliep @ThePathHQ @daren_collins Show me where any council says that.

[Michael E. Perry @lcbchefperry]

@w1lliep @ThePathHQ @daren_collins That doesn’t explain how every manuscript and papyri magically rewrote the words they contained.

[Michael E. Perry @lcbchefperry]

@SpudStud22 @MissioDave @daren_collins @GodLogic_GL Not even close to what it’s saying.

[Michael E. Perry @lcbchefperry]

@w1lliep @ThePathHQ @daren_collins Cite your evidence for the apostasy.

[Michael E. Perry @lcbchefperry]

@w1lliep @ThePathHQ @daren_collins Then refute it.

[Michael E. Perry @lcbchefperry]

@chelle_talky @RealCandaceO Why did you send it to me then?

[Michael E. Perry @lcbchefperry]

Below is my deconstruction of the arguments you provided in the image:

1. The "Hebraism" Argument
The use of "And it came to pass"
Critics including Mark Twain have historically mocked the repetition of this phrase as a stylistic flaw or a "filler" used by Joseph Smith to pad the length of the book. 
Also, these structures are prominent in the King James Bible, suggesting they could have been incorporated by a 19th-century author familiar with Bible.

2. Linguistic and Structural Analysis
“Modern linguistic analysis shows the structure of the Book of Mormon aligns with ancient Israelite writing.” 
Critics suggest that these features might reflect a "pseudo-archaic" style common in 19th-century literature or simply a sophisticated imitation of biblical language. 

3. "King James English" and Isaiah
“The reliance on King James Version English is limited, and the recitation of Isaiah is evidence of an original "brass plates" source.”
The language is interpreted as an attempt to replicate the tone and authority of the KJV Bible. Critics view the arguments about "hidden" Hebraisms as a form of post-hoc rationalization or searching for patterns to validate a pre-existing belief in the book's divine origin.
