Re: [TruthTalk] Old hebrew Coins found in Kentucky?

[Kevin Deegan]

There were a good number of EX-Campbellites in the church.

Some of the names were:

Sydney Rigdon ( a campbellite minister )
Parley Parker Pratt

Edward Partridge, the first Presiding Bishop of the Church

Orson Hyde

 

More likely that similarities came through the Campbellite connection

Blaine:  Kevin is right about the apostacies, wrong about the credibility of the witnessing.  The 12 men never denied their testimonies, even after they had apostasized.  Most, including two of the three witnesses who saw the angel, repented, and rejoined the LDS Church after it had moved to Utah.  The third one, the only one not to rejoin, continued to accept interviews up to his very deathbed, and maintained steadfastly he had seen and heard all that he signed his name to.  He often retold the story, never deviating from the original.   As usual, Kevin doesn't give the full story or even relevant facts.  

Here's a history lesson.    Oliver Cowdry was a teacher and, for a time, a participant in the Campbell/Stone movement (early 1800's)..   Since I do not believe that Mormon "truth" is the product of revelation,  perhaps some of it came from J Smith's association with others such as Cowdry.    Cowdry would have believed in water baptism,   elders,  evangelism, communion, to name a few of the similarities.   It is a hypothesis but is worth studying if you are a history buff.

When you say,  "Cowdry would have believed in water baptism,   elders,  evangelism, communion, to name a few of the similarities,"   are you aware that Cowdery was just a school teacher, not a religious teacher? You seem to be assuming a lot, and not telling us where your assumptions are coming from.  My question is, why are you making such an assumption?  Sorry but I don't get your line of reasoning here.
