This was so good! I love Kerry Muhlestein! He's so good at explaining complex ideas in a way that simpletons like myself can understand. I love that he is unafraid to say when he doesn't know or understand something. And lastly, he's just so darn polite.

Great interview. You brought up the idea that possibly Joseph haven’t been in the past they were wrong. The concern one could have is the other revelations or commandments, or that were revealed to Joseph to the same standard could be applied. This is concerning because of the manner in which some of these revelations affected the lives of so many individuals, physical and spiritually traumatic ways.

Good brothers: These episodes are so deeply helpful. Thanks utterly much. The value of _faithful perspective_ and _faithful_ Saint scholars like Kerry Muhlestein and John Gee are mana to the Faith. They contrast to the sellout-secular-liberal Church History Department and JS Papers enclave, with their inviting acidic critic Brian Hauglid as an oracle in their Book of Abraham volume. Academic gimmick and betrayal.

Hahaha. This is great stuff. Rittner was incredible. The book of Abraham is problematic. We see how we try to change how it was translated and goal posts keep moving.

@@weightelk I believe that is true. I think we get caught up in making new ideas up to make something that looks false become more compelling. Its fun to think about how all our lives we thought certain truths of the church keep changing to make it work with the truth claims. Do you not see that happening?

Kerry comes across slightly better, logically, than he does in other places, as far as his controversial approach to start with faith (when speaking as a expert or academic) and take everything in from the stance of a believer. His work/views seem more aligned with a cultural anthropologist IMO.

Thanks to Dr. Muhlestein and his honest and open comments. I'm glad that he didn't go on the program with John Dehlin and Corbin Volluz (aka RFM) as that would have been a waste of time as all they do is mud sling. Thanks again!

Here is a paper by Hungarian Egyptologist Tamas Mekis on hypocephalus. He does not mention the Book of Abraham. docs.google.com/document/d/1VgOxxk8XnSlK-ZfZ-3B__Xz_CazOQ0O7dOj0O6CI9Ko/edit

Agreed. They are not looking for answers and so won't find them, even if they were explained by an angel of God. God gives grace to the humble.

I don't want to get any BYU Professor in trouble so I am deleting my comment. Its either critics or apologists no in between. Waste of time talking to LDS. As Kara Cooney once said to me in conversations with LDS scholars "I do not want to gaslight"

The Lord God allowed Joseph to BS you guys and you cannot figure that out. This is the theme of Dr Richard Ritner on the John Dehlin podcast. You know what his take is. If you have not listened to the podcast, you owe it to yourself to learn what the real world has concluded about the Book of Abraham (Breathings).

Robert Ritner was proven wrong. As Ritner and your anti-Mormon cult were comparing the facsimiles to the explanation and expecting correlation.

On the other hand you did not listen to this podcast did you??? The bottom line is that none of these things will be cut and dried for the simple reason that faith is required by God and faith requires a certain amount of uncertainty! I know that drives ya''ll crazy because it sounds like a copout!! I could tell you that the reality of these things can be known by revelation through prayer but I know you will make fun of that idea! Regardless of what you think about Joseph Smith and the translation process the text itself is absolutely incredible! My final comment is on your use of sarcasm. I have learned in my 74 years in mortality that people who use sarcasm in their speech or writing cannot be trusted as a reputable source for truth!

You just showed us how incredibly shallow you are !! Ok why dont you in all of your great wisdom tell us where we should be looking for salvation!! You do not have anything positive to offer us, nothing uplifting, nothing with any light or truth!! Just tear down everything you are angry about! Why on earth would anybody listen to you??!!
