For others, however, let me just say that the arguments WBY is bringing up are old, tired, and already disproven and/or answered as much as 50 years ago. For those interested in real answers to such arguments, I suggest the following web sites:
http://www.fairlds.org/
http://www.lightplanet.com/mormons/
and the official LDS web site,
http://www.lds.org/
will any of these sites show me where to find a Niaphite village or city? or explain how 3 successive continent-wide long-lasting empires left no evidence of their passing? the puny Roman Empire only left a few aqueducts, theaters, baths, statues & some puny cities, you know, like London, Bath in puny England; Paris, Arles in puny France; the rest are really puny; in Croatia, Romania, Spain, Hungary, Montenegro, etc..., you know, an occasional stone, coin here & there, & that puny township, I think it's called Rome?
I'm not asking for much, you know, nothing fancy, like maybe a little city or a mass grave of those thousands of Nephites, Jarites & Mulklites that died in those epic battles at Hill Cumorah?
any help here?
I know in my heart, despite not having a perfect knowledge or being a perfect person (far from it!), that the Book of Mormon is true, that Joseph Smith was a true prophet,
& what pray tell, theology do you follow from the BoM? it refutes LDS belief, early or reformed
the only reason that LDS adheres to the BoM is, if they ever refute it, J. Smith's claim to fame will have been disowned by his very followers, hence, must defend this religio-fantasy, work, even though LDS beliefs are more in tune with sci-fi, Kolob anyone?
and most importantly, that Jesus is the Christ, the Savior of the world. No one can take these testimonies away from me. God has revealed it to me in a way that no one can ever refute.
I bear these testimonies in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Peace out.
does His blood wash you of your sins? or to quote Martin Luther;
# 1 Sola scriptura ("by Scripture alone")
# 2 Sola fide ("by faith alone")
# 3 Sola gratia ("by grace alone")
# 4 Solus Christus ("Christ alone")
# 5 Soli Deo gloria ("glory to God alone")

so are you Pauline or Joline?
Achanting tired litanies of "archeology, anthropology, linguistics, etc.", citing non-LDS-approved tours, whatever.
and what chanting goes on in your head? "must not listen, defend, counter-thrust, burning bosom, testimony, must not listen, etc..."
You may even convince some people not to believe in true Christianity. That will be what you'll have to explain to God when He asks you how you treated His good word at the final judgment.
LDS is true polytheism, not Christianity, Jesus will deal with me as He may, under His rules, He knows that His words will last forever, not mine or yours, the Bible is the only true testament of Jesus, God's instructions, our treasure
the BoM is another testament of error, goes with the BoA, secret,pssst, let me tell you a secret, Joesph Smith was a conman, he didn't know Egyptian, reformed or othwerwise, don't tell anyone, wink, wink
