Fact Checking the Book of Mormon

[@heyerlaw]

Faith will not come from the study of ancient texts as a purely academic pursuit. It will not come from archaeological digs and discoveries. It will not come from scientific experiments. It will not even come from witnessing miracles. These things may serve to confirm faith, or at times to challenge it, but they do not create faith. Faith comes by the witness of the Holy Spirit to our souls, Spirit to spirit, as we hear or read the word of God. And faith matures as we continue to feast upon the word. - D. Todd Christofferson April 2010 That being said, I love your videos.

Thank you for providing content about the Book of Mormon and the Prophet Joseph that can attract "very" less active members of the Church, very good people, who have doubts "big" enough to stop believing everything they once knew to be true.

Waiting on the Book of Abraham fact checking, that will be interesting!

[@NancyBrown-xw8hg]

This will be interesting. I knew there were a few things but 81😮

[@kwlarson7]

Looking forward to the next video!

[@rogerpreble440]

With regards to up and down that she used about 17 times it's also interesting to note that the elevation of Jerusalem is about 2500 feet above sea level and a camel. Yes indeed travels about 25 miles a day and the general population of the land of Jerusalem, that time was about 25,000 inhabitants… Keep up the good work, my friend

Do angels have Italian names, like Gaetano Moroni did? Pretty sure they're all Hebrew.

[@MemyzelphandI]

Perhaps this gentleman is unaware that Joseph Smith had a Bible. That Bible had a map of the area. Hos evidence are ridiculous.

[@rconger24]

Nahom appeared on no such Biblical map. And Arabia is not emphasized in Bilblcal maps. Palestine/Israel/Judea is. About as ridiculous as Isaiah 7 :14? "... _Behold, A virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel_ ." Do you not believe in revealed religion? *_That is the miracle of it!_*

[@MemyzelphandI]

@@rconger24 And Nahom has NEVER been found on any map! Nehem is not Nahom

[@rconger24]

​@@MemyzelphandIYou should know it's the same consonants. The vowels are a matter of "scholastic interpretation." All of it is quite plausible.

[@MemyzelphandI]

@rconger24 I just had a good laugh at "scholastic interpretation." Thanks, I needed that.

[@TheSandyStone]

"Antis or the saints" (really setting up the dichotomy here ) Would check out Dan Vougels recent work on the Lehi trail which shows Joseph had the maps available for this and shows with convincing evidence where the "path" was during the book of Mormons creation. "On the fly" this was his second time doing this story (lost 116) with at least 7 years preparation. There also isn't evidence that he did not have any reference materials when "redoing" the small plates (Emma's comments have no bearing on the nephi-up to Mosiah) I'm sorry, I know you really want this to work. I get it. And I've been a member my whole life and know what it feels like. "First white person" - no. This is objectively false. There was extensive mapping of the area through the crusades hundreds of years earlier. I feel like you made a smorgasbord of a bunch of different fireside's and byu papers to make this video.

[@rconger24]

We've seen you pasting your accusations in other places. Faith is The First Principle of The Gospel. God is merciful and will be there for you when you are ready. But don't wait too long or your life will pass you by before you can be blessed!

[@TheSandyStone]

@@rconger24 typed* not pasted. Faith for sure is. Been in the curch 35+ years and run the whole gambit. I understand just fine. I've had plenty of heart to hearts with God about all of this. I am blessed! And guess what? I found MORE truth. Perhaps open up to the possibility you were wrong about the history of our "faith" and you'll see too. As you would say, hope God blesses you with this truth!

[@rconger24]

​​​@@TheSandyStoneI have seen your same information in your comments of other videos. If you've really left it why do you remain? Seems self depreciating to me. Your dark choir has nothing I want.

[@TheSandyStone]

@@rconger24 thanks! I do comment on videos. I learned how to share truth when I find it. putting down others and saying they're dark choirs seems self deprecating to me, though. I like to challenge ideas. Telling people they're in dark choirs seems a bit dark in itself.

[@Misa_Susaki]

So you're not a member anymore? Just curious.

[@paulbrungardt9823]

Another example at this cult grasping at straws to support false claims.

[@edbarneyjr]

Silly cult

[@heyerlaw]

And when I had said this, the Lord spake unto me, saying: Fools mock, but they shall mourn; and my grace is sufficient for the meek, that they shall take no advantage of your weakness;

[@rconger24]

So is name calling now?
