[..YouTube..] DESPERATION and PRIDE, you built a straw house and you want to keep it up as long as you can!

[..YouTube..] Decades after the Book of Mormon was published there was a wide diversity of ways that members pronounced Book of Mormon proper names. Finally, in the early 1900s a church committee was organized to produce a “pronunciation guide.” This committee formulated a set of rules — based on common English standards rather than revelation — for pronouncing proper names.
December 29th, 2009 at 1:43 am
[..YouTube..] The intent of the committee was not to dictate the absolute correct way to pronounce the proper names, but rather to establish some uniformity. Today, thanks to Skousen, we have a more likely candidate for the correct pronunciation of the name Amalickiah.

[..YouTube..] Whatever you say, but everything I’ve stated can be proven with your own texts and the words of your prophets and apostles. You conveniently choose to ignore them.

ALL I have said is that LDS Doctrine is contained in LDS Holy Scriptures.
If you want to debate or even know LDS doctrine you MUST read those things and NOT avoid them!

[..YouTube..] Meanwhile, in Cambodia, Elder Lowell and Sister Cheryl Curtis from Riverton, Utah, organized a similar project, transporting 40 tons of rice to the Sandan District in northern Cambodia, providing almost 800 families with a 100-pound bag of rice. The Sandan District was hit by the same storm system that devastated Laos, destroying its residents’ ability to plant crops of rice for the year.

[..YouTube..] I’ve avoided nothing. But okay, then, show me where I can find the details of the temple ceremonies, where the priesthood is required (and where anyone but Jesus was a member of the Melchizadek priesthood), and a clear description of exaltation meaning godhood.

[..YouTube..] The Mormon position is the near opposite. Confirmation of historic details of The Book of Mormon would substantiate Joseph Smith’s account of how it came to be, and thus validate his seership and the divine origin of both the book and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This brings us to the astonishing possibility of being able to test Joseph Smith’s claims through science, a possibility that critics have long tried to exploit
December 30th, 2009 at 12:51 am
[..YouTube..] The Book of Mormon is the keystone of Mormonism; destroy this stone and all that it supports will come crashing down. Given the stakes involved, the very possibility of testing the book’s historicity and authenticity becomes a moral obligation to do so. It is also an invitation to err on the side of caution and not reject it without due cause
December 30th, 2009 at 1:02 am
[..YouTube..] So what you’re saying now runs contradictory to what you said before, about your doctrine being contained in your scriptures. How curious.
December 31st, 2009 at 1:36 am
[..YouTube..] ONLY the deceptive would find what I said contradictory.
NOT curious, but DESPERATE!

December 31st, 2009 at 1:37 am
[..YouTube..] Intrigued, Wahid — who would later become the president of Indonesia — began peppering the Salt Lake City businessman with questions about his faith, wanting to know more about what Mormons believe and how the LDS Church’s humanitarian service program worked
December 31st, 2009 at 7:46 pm
[..YouTube..] The third possibility is that you conveniently forgot is an alternative mean through creative misinterpretation.
December 31st, 2009 at 7:47 pm
[..YouTube..] The same end could have just as easily been accomplished by Smith writing himself into a document which he claimed to be ancient.

My 8-year-old son, Justin, although less vocal about it, will lie face down over his mother’s grave and just lie there, feeling the closeness that a mama’s boy needs to feel when snuggling warm and close on his mother’s chest and dwelling in the memory of those moments as if she were lying there right next to him.’”

[..YouTube..] Kendall R. Nielsen, a friend of the Youngs who has lived in Virginia Beach for four years, said Katie’s death has affected their ward.
“She was on the mend (from Crohn’s disease) and back to normal activity when she passed away,” Nielsen wrote in an e-mail. “It is always shocking when a young parent passes away. … Watching Justin holding his daughter during the memorial service was particularly poignant.”
December 31st, 2009 at 11:00 pm
[..YouTube..] Nielsen added, “I attended Katie’s funeral with the thought that I was going to honor Katie and demonstrate support and comfort to Justin and his family. Justin did such an incredible job with his comments during the memorial that he flipped the tables on everyone in attendance and provided comfort and support to us.”

In addition to helping create Thanksgiving Point with her husband as a gift for the community, spearheading the creation of the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival and serving in Canada with her husband in the Canada Toronto mission, she’s now breathing life into a company that restores old homes for new owners.

[..YouTube..] WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =o I am never short of being truly amazed at how powerful the impact of The Word of the Lord can be, especially in regards to the prophecies of all of His prophets through the scope of time!!!! This video is so dead-on for these last days concerning the prophesies about secret combinations (SECRET SOCIETIES) and how they will be the downfall of the nation that upholds these practices. Wonderful job incorporating these prophetic warnings & the need to help spread truth!
February 17th, 2010 at 9:50 pm
[..YouTube..] Claimed, and when looking into ancient origins for it, we see that vindicated more and more. The hebraisms in the text are evident throughout the book of Mormon.
February 18th, 2010 at 2:35 am
[..YouTube..] Ah, so you’re going to go for the claims that chiasmus proves the BOM, eh? That might be impressive if we find that this was actually part of Smith’s own writing style. I guess you didn’t know that, did you?
And since we find chiasmus being used in nursery rhymes, by Confucius, or even Mae West, that must make them divinely inspired, too, right?
Since we know that Smith claimed to have studied the Bible from the age of 12 onward, it’s pretty obvious that he absorbed that as well.
Fail.
February 18th, 2010 at 2:36 am
[..YouTube..] I agree. He was so very right about the Civil War leading directly to Armageddon that it’s scary.
February 18th, 2010 at 4:04 am
[..YouTube..] Actually, I never claimed that it proved anything. Rather, it lends rather strong evidence towards the antiquity of the text.
Chiasmus isn’t simple flip-flop in the BOM, but lengthy discourse in this Hebrew pattern that spans whole chapters, with each chapter being part of the ABCDEDCBA etc. pattern. Joseph was no poet.
He, having only a third grade education, would never have been able to pick up on that and other writing styles and linguistic patterns.
February 18th, 2010 at 4:05 am
[..YouTube..] You still have yet to explain cognitive accusitive, if-and clauses that had to be removed in some cases from later editions because they were too Hebrew to an english reader, etc.
So until you can address these things, it looks like you have an epic fail on your hands
February 18th, 2010 at 12:44 pm
[..YouTube..] “The hebraisms in the text are evident throughout the book of Mormon.”
If you didn’t think that supports your position, you wouldn’t have said it.
On and on about his lack of education, yet you obviously haven’t read any of his letters or things he wrote himself. While formally uneducated, he was of at least average intelligence. You also have to sift through what actually happened and the church’s revision of its own history.
February 18th, 2010 at 12:47 pm
[..YouTube..] Again, if Smith studied the Bible from the age of 12 until the BOM was ‘translated,’ that gives him 12 years to become familiar with the structure of the Bible.
We also have chiasmus throughout the D&C, too, showing that it was, indeed, his own writing style.
February 18th, 2010 at 3:45 pm
[..YouTube..] Again, having a third grade education in his day would not have sufficiently taught him of writing structure, as we can see that he could barely spell. The fact that there are different chapters in the book of Mormon that have a unique voice due to the different ancient authors lends even more evidence to its authenticity.
You avoided the other hebraisms I brought up.
And yes, after he was called by God and the Spirit was upon him, he truly increased in his knowledge and intelligence.
February 20th, 2010 at 2:21 am
[..YouTube..] What other “hebraisms” you brought up? The extensive detail about Jewish temple ceremonies, customs, and history? The things that the BOM doesn’t bother to cover, yet includes Greek and Latin terms when Smith clearly said it did not?
But you’re right, he couldn’t spell well, and we find those same kinds of mistakes made in the 1830 BOM which is a direct translation of the plates? Odd how that works.
February 20th, 2010 at 2:21 am
[..YouTube..] This is the fine line you have to walk, claiming that Smith was barely literate and therefore not capable of writing the BOM, yet still competant enough to write letters and revelations from which you draw your doctrine.
February 20th, 2010 at 3:51 am
[..YouTube..] You clearly misrepresent what I have put forth, but so be it. Stay in that mindset if it brings you comfort.
February 20th, 2010 at 3:54 am
[..YouTube..] Again, if-and clauses, cognitive accusitive, etc
Things Joseph would not have known about with his almost non-existent knowledge of Hebrew language and culture..
And again, he was saying these things to a scribe. Of course someone writing isn’t going to be perfect. He is but a man. But God is not going to quibble about spelling errors, and they were corrected as Joseph looked at the earliest manuscripts and made corrections. He never actually went away from the text.
February 20th, 2010 at 4:11 am
[..YouTube..] But since he finally got around to ‘restoring’ the gospel, why wouldn’t he have made it perfect? Why would it need to be immediately corrected with the 1831 edition?
And how could the first edition have been so wrong about its Trinitarian view that it needed to be revised to reflect polytheism?
February 20th, 2010 at 4:11 am
[..YouTube..] I see no evidence that the BOM contains anything relevent to ancient Judaism not already found in the Bible.
How, if this is the most correct book on earth, would god permit it to be published in 1830 as-was? I have a photocopy of it and it looks like it was written by someone who didn’t have a very good grasp of English.
February 20th, 2010 at 4:14 am
[..YouTube..] I’ve misrepresented nothing. I’m asking reasonable and logical questions and then following them to their logical conclusions. I also use the standards of Orson Pratt for evaluating Mormonism on its own terms.
That gives you the benefit of the doubt, an advantage I don’t have.
The truth brings me comfort, thanks.
