Mormon gospel before Christ

One of the books in the Mormon collection of so-called scripture is Ether.  It claims to cover a time period from about 2600 BC to 600 BC.  It alludes to the great tower (tower of Babel) when people rebelled against God.  So, low and behold, Jesus Christ reveals himself to Jared and his brother and tells them to get to work and build some barges for a great voyage to a new world (Ether 2:12, 2:16, 3:1).  Rather strange that Jesus had yet to be born in Jerusalem and be given the name Jesus, but this is Mormonism.  These eight barges have a hole in the bottom and in the top, but no windows for air.  There is no mention of these vessels having sails yet they managed to go either around the Horn of Africa, or through the Mediterranean and across the Atlantic Ocean.  Keep in mind that the Joseph Smith found the golden plates with this record on a hill in New York, but Mormons claim the barges actually landed somewhere in southern Mexico near present day San Lorenzo.  Therefore they lay claim to the Olmec civilization as proof of this wild story.

In Ether 4:3 there is mention of the people rejecting the "gospel of Christ" (who had not been born yet much less been to the cross) therefore the brother of Jared leads the people on these barges being lit by magic stones that produce light (3:4) as a result of being touched by the Lord.  For 344 days they were driven by stormy seas to the promised land.  It has been pointed out that Columbus made his round trip to America and back in only 221 days, and they spent time exploring many islands along the way.  Ether records numerous things in the new world, such as steel swords, that did not show up for hundreds of years when they were brought by Europeans (Ether 7:9).  Check out Ether 9:17-19 for a list of other questionable items: silk, swine, horses, asses, and elephants.

Mormon Poppycock

Image
Anyone familiar with biblical language and the timeline of the New Testament events will have problems with the Book of Mormon.  In 1 Nephi chapter 13, which supposedly covers a time period between B.C. 600 and 592, we read of references to a great abominable church which has gone forth from the Lamb to spread the gospel.  The Greek word however where we get the word "church" was not even thought of much less used in the Bible during this time.  The Greek bible did not come into existence for several hundred years with the advent of the Septuagint LXX and the word gospel did not come about until the time of Jesus.  The writer of the Book of Mormon is playing to a naive and ignorant audience that would likely know only King James English and have little knowledge of ancient biblical languages.  In Doctrine and Covenants 76:67 there is even mention of a church of Enoch. Another blooper appears in Alma 46:15 which Mormonism claims occurred in B.C. 73 those that belonged to

Mormon America B.C. 600 to A.D. 421 examined by Dale Brown

The Book of Mormon claims to tell a story of the Americas between 600 B.C. to 421 A.D.  speaking of animals and archeological items that did not appear until they were brought there after 1492 when Columbus sailed the ocean blue.  So apparently the writer of the BoM either knew nothing about history or simply dreamed up this fictional tale to deceive ignorant people who are eager to believe a lie. Biblical coins Museums throughout the world display coins listed in the Bible yet the Nephite coins (senine, ezrom, onti, shiblon, shiblum, etc.) listed in the BoM (Alma 11:5-19) are no where to be found.  Metallurgy was not developed in the Americas and the natives were quickly undone by the steel swords of the Spaniards, yet the BoM records fine steel bows (1 Nephi 16:18), fine steel swords (1 Nephi 4:9). The native Americas were astounded that the Europeans could ride on horses like gods because there were no horses in America until they arrived from Europe.  Alma 18:9-10 records h

Mormons and the Jews

Image
Mormons will do whatever is necessary to manipulate people.  In order to appeal to the Jews they make the claim that Zionism is God's method in which eventually the Jews will unite with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and build a temple in Jerusalem under the President of the church, who they claim holds the keys of the gathering of Israel. (Mormon Doctrine, by Bruce R. McConkie, pg. 856).   http://www.jewishmag.com/136mag/mormons/mormons.htm   What is not mentioned here is what the bible says about this future temple.  Jesus said, "I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me; if another shall come in his own name, you will receive him" (John 5:43).  Apostle Paul refers to this coming apostasy as the antichrist who will exalt himself in the temple as being God (2 Thess. 2:4).  The Mormons claim to be able to become gods so all they have to do now is convince the Jews.  The Mormons probably have more experience building temples th
