a shadow will come across the land. "And there shall in that time be rumours of things going astray, and there will be a great confusion as to where things really are, and nobody will really know where lieth those little things with the sort of raffia work base, that has an attachment…at this ...

They were not fictional characters. They were real objects. The Urim and Thummim were special stones set in Aaron’s priestly garments (Ex. 28:30; Lev. 8:8). The ephod was a special ceremonial garment worn by the priests (Ex. 28:4, 6, 8, 12, 15, 25-28, 31). A cherub (plural cherubim) was an ornament...

You are talking rubbish, total rubbish, absolute rubbish. No comment required. Once again I compliment you on your insight. I had come to believe your insights were rare. But you proved me wrong. Of course I know that talking about biblical fictional characters and objects ,like cherubs (cherubbim)...

Moses and science don't mix. Moses was on a caveman level telling stories based on myth and cult doctrine of his times. The man knew jack about the evolution of the planet and human beings. He didn't even know about dinosaurs! The book of Genesis creation account is on the same level as Santa Claus...

It's further proof that Smith via his holy ghost didn't know what he was doing or what he was talking about. Just making stuff up out of thin air to woo his followers. How do you explain the unlikely, but Egyptologically sound, name of "Aha" showing up in the Book of Mormon? Sure, it coul...

He seems to think it is pretty widespread. He is a reputable preacher, and is preaching to a large congregation. I don't think he would want to make stuff up, only to be embarrassed by being proved to be a storyteller. Reputable and to a large congregation. Well, the choir will accept that he descr...

“Eleanor? Is something burning in there?” The women’s laughter came from the kitchen. The smell wasn’t quite like burnt food, either. It was reminiscent of cigar smoke, or burning hair, perhaps. “What on earth is that smell?” he said. Just then his 17-year-old grandson, Joshua, came out of the hall...
