Swedenborg...

[_Drifting]

Is this a fraudulent statement, on the assumption Joseph drew from Swedenborg and others?

 

The Book of Mormon is a volume of holy scripture comparable to the Bible. It is a record of God’s dealings with the ancient inhabitants of the Americas and contains the fulness of the everlasting gospel.

 The book was written by many ancient prophets by the spirit of prophecy and revelation. Their words, written on gold plates, were quoted and abridged by a prophet-historian named Mormon. The record gives an account of two great civilizations. One came from Jerusalem in 600 B.C., and afterward separated into two nations, known as the Nephites and the Lamanites. The other came much earlier when the Lord confounded the tongues at the Tower of Babel. This group is known as the Jaredites. After thousands of years, all were destroyed except the Lamanites, and they are among the ancestors of the American Indians.

ps. It is SwEdenborg. Not a big deal--unless, of course, you are being an ass by calling him a "swad" (short fat person, or clown). I'll assume the misspelling was accidental.

Thank you for the kind invitation. I will certainly avail myself of that opportunity if I am in the area. And I'm not saying that you can not convince me that your position is valid. It just might take a while since I tend to be very dubious of things like this. I will continue to look into SwEdenborg since I do agree that what he wrote is interesting and the impact of that may not be fully appreciated by me yet.[/quote]

No further research required Tobin.

The LDS changed their link so people like Tobin wouldn't go out for blood.

Mormon websites are fudging with their directories way too often.
