Thank you for this!!

Sorry but we have the original papyri Joseph Smith said he TRANSLATED and it doesnt translate into the Pearl of Great Price. Not at all Not even close. And the image shown here is not a sacrifice, its a resurrection. If It was a depiction of a sacrifice the hands would be BOUND as it states in the bible he was bound.

Actually Joseph never said the facsimiles were the source of the Pearl of Great Price. They were just a small portion of the total papyri, most of which were kept by the RLDS church and subsequently lost in a fire in the latter 1800s.

The facsimiles were not the primary source of the Book of Abraham. The vast majority of the Papyri that Joseph Translated were kept by the RLDS church(today called Community of Christ) and were lost in a fire decades later. Also nowhere in the Bible does it say Abraham was bound or nearly sacrificed.

From what I undersand, Egyptian heiroglyphs don't show direct relationships. They have their symbolic representations. It looks like they preferred showing Abraham praying rather than having his hands tied. And where did Joseph Smith say he translated the Book of Abraham directly from the papyri he had in his possession? I'm interested in having that information.

@@SamAntone Watch the 6 hours of video with Dr Robert K. Ritner at Mormon Stories Podcast. The Book of Abraham has the Adam & Eve creation story, plus the Noah Flood story. These didn't enter Jewish Mythology until the Babylonian captivity. They are fiction which wasn't known by Moses or Abraham. Earth didn't start 6K years ago in Jackson County.

False. I’ve heard that there are effective treatments for schizophrenia these days.

Who has schizophrenia? Maybe the uneducated, uninformed doubters who blindly jump to conclusions before doing their homework. But I would not be in favor of making fun of anyone. If you are a Bible-believing Christian you might want to reread the characteristics of genuine disciples of Christ in Galatians ch. 5, which includes kindness, patience, meekness, gentleness, etc.

@@allenrichardson4211 I died 20 years ago and was put on life support. I’ve been to the other side. My body was in a coma for 3 1/2 months. I learned so much while on the other side. It wasn’t my time and I was given the choice to stay there or return to my body. I definitely didn’t want to come back, but I still had not accomplished my purpose on earth yet. Every single religion on this earth has the whole thing wrong, very wrong. Religion is insignificant and god isn’t what religion teaches it is. Man created god and all of the nonsense surrounding religion. I chose to come back. The books of which you speak, I have read cover to cover, and was a believer in religion before I found the truth on the other side. Those books are just another deception created by man. I would call that doing my homework.

I don't think it would be wise to compare our NDEs. I, too, was hospitalized and not given much hope. In my case, a scaffolding collapsed on a big, commercial construction job. You have every right to interpret your impressions as you wish, and I certainly would not criticize or make fun of your views. But it would still be wise to try not to make broad, sweeping generalizations with judgementalism and name-calling. I would think the closer you experience God, the more godlike you should be expected to become.
