This is an easy passage to quote, but not so easy to follow. Joseph Smith shot and killed people in the name of his faith, but Jesus Christ took nobody's life, but instead gave his life a ransom for all. When the soldiers came for Joseph Smith, he took out a smuggled gun and killed before being killed himself. When the soldiers came for Jesus Christ, he ordered his disciples to put away their weapons, and he healed the injured soldier. Quite a bit of difference between Joseph Smith and Jesus Christ, wouldn't you say? I have asked you to consider the evidence that Joseph Smith did not translate properly the book of Abraham. You have refused to consider it. Kevin has raised the subject of the Kindhook plates. Again, silence on your part. How can we take your position seriously if you stick your head in the sand like an ostrich whenever serious questions are raised? I'm not trying to be insulting. I just consider these to be serious issues that are to Mormonism what a smoking gun is in a murder case. Will you ever address these issues (book of Abraham and Kinderhook plates) with us? Peace be with you. David Miller. ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
