@ThoughtfulSaint It seems as though you’re the naive one, Jacob

Pono and Grenfell on the same team. 0 surprise The naïveté among many LDS is crazy.

Satan is the king of Mormonism.

@naturalaristo Are you kidding? This temple is beautiful. Looks far different than any meetinghouse I’ve seen. It certainly doesn’t look “low budget”.

These no-Moroni low-budget temples look like normal church buildings. They don’t look like they’re set apart for something special.

@Faustzme Do you have any sort of substantial criticism or are you just going to make idiotic jokes?

@CaptainLomondi Ahman judgman Ahman sons thatman rejectman theman Bibleman.

Joseph Smith tried to explain the “language of Adam” and it’s wilder than you think. “Brothers, Adam spoke a pure, undefiled language in the Garden. Here’s a sample straight from God:” God = Ahman
Jesus = Son Ahman
People = Sons Ahman
Angels = Ahman Angls-men Yeah. That’s it. Deformed English with extra “Ahman” sprinkled on top. Adam was supposedly dropping these words in Missouri 6,000 years ago… before English even existed. 😂 No ancient tablets. No heavenly grammar. Just Joseph dictating Q&A in 1832 like he was revealing the ultimate cheat code. If this is the “pure language” God gave Adam to keep truth alive… why does it sound like a 19th-century guy winging it? If you believe it is the language of Adam you deserve to be ridiculed. Scripture warns of false prophets and another gospel (Gal 1:8, 2 Cor 11:4). This one fits. Test the spirits, folks. Grace and truth are in Christ alone not “Ahman” fan fiction.

@genXcessive @Apologetics941 King James English is the language Joseph Smith (and every other Christian) understood as the language of scripture.

@CaptainLomondi @Apologetics941 So Jospeh spoke 15th century Elizabethan English?

Crazy how the Book of Mormon seems to quote Paul and yet it was written hundreds of years later on another continent by a totally different dude. I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

@genXcessive @Apologetics941 You don’t think it’s likely that god would speak to people in a language they understand?

@CaptainLomondi @Apologetics941 Or, the much more likely scenario. Jospeh Smith copied it directly from the KJV he had.

@genXcessive @Apologetics941 KJV is what Joseph smith had and used. There is no perfect translation with human language. God speaks in the language his people understand. Joseph understood the KJV language as scripture, so he would reveal more scripture in a similar language.

@CaptainLomondi @Apologetics941 That’s bridge too far, unless you’re going to admit the translators of the KJV did as good of job as God would’ve done.

@Faustzme How so? Would you like to provide an alternative? Or are you just going to criticize a subject you know absolutely nothing about?

@CaptainLomondi Yes, it is completely worthy of ridicule!

@DoBetter_ What do you mean by worldwide? As in it covering the entire planet? I don’t necessarily believe that. In some way or another it may have been tied to the continental separation. How is that magical thinking?

@CaptainLomondi So you do believe in a biblical world wide flood tide to the separation of the continents. I'm sorry, but that's just magical thinking.

It's amazing to me that it's 2026 and an LDS apostle (Rasband) is apparently doubling down on a literal belief in the following: -Adam & Eve as first humans, that lived in Missouri -World wide flood -Continents not separating until the time of the flood ...

@Lemuel52 @DiscipleFidei Either that or burn forever

@DiscipleFidei What are you gonna do for eternity? Play a harp?

Can you believe Mormons think they’ll be procreating for eternity? So dumb

@DoBetter_ I didn’t say they magically separated. I also didn’t say there’s no scientific issues. We don’t know exactly what the flood was or what it caused. It was likely tied together with the separation of continents though.

@CaptainLomondi Wait... You think there aren't any scientific issues with continents magically separating vast distances during a worldwide flood? As long as it supposedly happened before the Jaredites?

@DoBetter_ Did you read my comment on how that could be considered correct? Lamanites doesn’t refer to only the descendants of laman and Lemuel.

@CaptainLomondi I know it's not considered scripture. It was changed because the prior wording was demonstrably false. Part of my original point is that Rasband didn't seem to get the memo on why that had to change.

@DoBetter_ The BoM intro is not scripture, it can change according to newer understanding. That’s no issue for us.

@CaptainLomondi That is generally the take of more modern apologetics. That's not what JS and early leaders thought. The BoM intro used to say the Lamanites were the principal ancestors of the Native Americans. Everything in Rasband's talk, ...

@DoBetter_ I don’t think the “literal worldwide flood” means that it wiped every single surface on the earth. In the talk he literally says it breaks apart the continents for the purpose of protecting the promised land. The flood was also before the jaredites, so there’s no issue there.

@CaptainLomondi especially the literal worldwide flood (that would have killed everyone in Americas), & the separation of the continents, & the emphasis on the Americas being reserved for Jaredites and Lehites, all suggest that he doesn't share your view, but that of the early LDS leaders.

@genXcessive @Apologetics941 You don’t even understand the translation process of the Book of Mormon. There was no literal word for word translation. It was through the gift and power of God. And if there was a similar idea that was in the og text of the BoM and in the NT, why not use the same wording?

@Apologetics941 Word for word too, the message jumped from Hebrew to “Reformed Egyptian” then English and it landed exactly on the same words 15th century Englishmen used. Amazing

@Apologetics941 Or it’s almost like God inspired two different men at different times and in different places the same ideas. He doesn’t quote Paul, they are simply both inspired by God.

@DoBetter_ The Book of Mormon makes it clear at one point that the lamanites are not all the literal descendants of Laman, but they are all labeled that way as the people who were against the nephites. We already know people inhabited the land before Lehis family came, so this checks out

... He also seems to imply that he still holds the view that the Lamanites are the principal ancestors of the Native Americans. Which suggests he's either unaware of modern apologetics, or disagrees with them. I can only imagine how many apologists cringed at this talk.

@YouSpooneeBard @DezGoth I believe it is somewhere, I remember seeing it a few years ago I think on the church website.

@DezGoth Stuff like this should be digitally archived

BANNED Mormon comic

@philbateman5 @DezGoth Yeah that’s the joke, it’s just the old “comic” style Old Testament stories book, actually produced by the church.

@DezGoth This is old. I don’t think banned. You’re probably trying to align this to that creepy video that isn’t produced by the church that anti’s keep bring up
