@UCStanford @PrudentThinquer @Apologetics941 It proves he is a con man. If he had the true word and the Book of Mormon is a “true” translation he would have said exactly what the Bible said not what men translated because only he had the authority to translate in gods name.

@danothemano77 @PrudentThinquer @Apologetics941 If He was a con man, wouldn't they match exactly word for word? Why would he risk people not believing him by having so many differences? It doesn't match because they are not the same thing. One is a translation of a record, and one is an inspired alteration of a record.

As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I often find myself at a disadvantage when interacting with critics of the Church. At first I thought it was because I was lacking skills in debate, knowledge about my Faith, or was inadequate at expressing myself in a public forum.
So I went to work. I studied my Religion more. I started watching religious debates and listening to podcasts. I started expressing my thoughts and opinions more in public. I asked questions. I sought answers.
And I eventually realized I’ll always be at a disadvantage when interacting with critics, for three reasons;
1. Critics of The Church of Jesus Christ are willing to intentionally undermine and destroy my Faith in Jesus Christ and His Restored Gospel. I’m not willing to intentionally undermine anyone’s Faith. I think we have far more in common than we do differences.
2. Critics spend a lot more time studying my Religion and its history than I do, or have time to. While I’ve been working to build my relationship with Jesus Christ, raise my kids, invest in my family, and work to pay my bills, they’ve been compiling all the things they think prove I’m wrong in my beliefs. I can’t match that kind of hyper-focus with the limited time I have.
3. While I’m willing to look at, read, and study things that might conflict with my religious world-view, Critics of the Church are not. They will continually insist I’m wrong while refusing to entertain or look at any information that would challenge their assumed world view.
Critics also don’t have much to offer outside of their criticisms. Whenever I ask for an alternative to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I get a few generic answers, like “Biblical Christianity”, “a relationship with the REAL Jesus”, “I can’t offer you anything”, or “it’s not my place to guide you to a viable alternative”. I never get an invite to a church, an offer to study, or a program to look into. It’s always “abandon your faith!” Without offering a suitable replacement.

@PrudentThinquer @Apologetics941 He translated the Bible after he wrote the Book of Mormon.

@danothemano77 @Apologetics941 I don’t understand your question.

@PrudentThinquer @Apologetics941 What is the Joseph smith translation of Mark 16? And why doesn’t it match word for word?

@PHNX_Cardinals That’s enough for me, I’m sold! Give him that bag 💰

@LDSPioneer @nicoraytruth @NilsBabcock73 lol not a stretch. Just a fact. But keep on trying they need a few hundred more billions of dollars to buy land in Florida and malls for shopping.

@danothemano77 @nicoraytruth @NilsBabcock73 Wow, what a stretch! Clearly needed for all the mental gymnastics required to reach that conclusion.

Apparently, some members have forgotten their past.
What the leaders of the LDS actually said about communism, in their own words.
David O. McKay, April 1966 General Conference: "The position of this Church on the subject of communism has never changed. We consider it the greatest satanical threat to peace, prosperity, and the spread of God's work among men that exists on the face of the earth."
Ezra Taft Benson, October 1961 General Conference: "No true Latter-day Saint and no true American can be a socialist or a communist or support programs leading in that direction."
Ezra Taft Benson, October 1961: "We must ever keep in mind that collectivized socialism is part of the communist strategy. Communism is fundamentally socialism. We will never win our fight against communism by making concessions to socialism."
Ezra Taft Benson, October 1961: "The whole program of socialistic-communism is essentially a war against God and the plan of salvation, the very plan which we fought to uphold during 'the war in heaven.'"
Ezra Taft Benson, October 1979 General Conference:"It is a battle between two opposing systems: freedom and slavery, Christ and anti-Christ."
Ezra Taft Benson, October 1979: "Communism introduced into the world a substitute for true religion. It is a counterfeit of the gospel plan."
First Presidency statement, July 3, 1936 (Heber J. Grant, J. Reuben Clark, David O. McKay): "Since Communism, established, would destroy our American Constitutional government, to support Communism is treasonable to our free institutions, and no patriotic American citizen may become either a Communist or supporter of Communism."
Hugh B. Brown, April 1962 General Conference:
"Communism is of the devil. Communism started when the devil was cast out of heaven. It is well that all men know that the Church and the leaders of the Church stand squarely against communism."
J. Reuben Clark, September 21, 1946:
"Tyranny is always a wolf in sheep's clothing, and he always ends by devouring the whole flock, saving none."
Do I need to keep going?
Hollywood@prefertorope
@nicoraytruth Dude. Chill out. You can say that communism is not consistent with gospel principles and make an argument. Please don't throw stuff around like "evil" and "darkness." That is not gentleness, persuasion, or love unfeigned. Feel me? We need to disagree better.
English

@BenGarciaShow They are checking things out well before they make a decision.
English

@nicoraytruth Would you argue blacks shouldn’t be priestholders since they were disallowed prior to 1968. How about blood oaths?
I thought you guys worked hard to forget the past. Maybe be real mormons and bring polygamy back?
English

@Aidan_Evadin @nicoraytruth lol they are the voice of God. Follow the prophet he knows the way. At what time is it God? When you agree with it ?
English

@nicoraytruth Church leaders also said black people could not, and some said would not ever, receive the priesthood.
Everything said over the pulpit isn’t scripture
English

@bjornagain2012 @nicoraytruth But God will take them out for doing so right ? Where is God’s voice to condemn? It is in all who believe in him, you don’t need a normal man who pretends to be a prophet.
English

@nicoraytruth The problem is the leadership have abandoned authentic Mormonism and embrace libtardation and all the members go along with whatever they do.
English

@LDSPioneer @nicoraytruth @NilsBabcock73 I believe it’s because a lot of democrats support this idea and to tell member not too will violate the law to tell members how to vote or they lose their tax exempt status. NEED THAT MONEY!!
English

Past? President Oaks has referred to communism as “godless” and President Nelson referred to it as a “yoke”. While that’s not as direct as President Kimball had been, it does not mean the warnings are unnecessary or that communism is acceptable. If anything, the tone indicates a need for a more respectful dialogue so that the church may prosper even under such oppressive regimes - while still clearly pointing out the major dangers of that ideology.

@Stonejenson Some only have sniper skills, others worry about K/D ratio instead of objectives. Hell let loose is the place for casuals, at least people communicate and push objectives. Can’t wait for HHL Vietnam to release soon bye battlefield

#Battlefield6 So, I'm a casual player these days, but I jump on, it's a full server and despite I have less kills/assists and caps than higher ranked players in my squad, I'm 3rd on the board. Tactics and skill are not noted on the scoreboard.
