Well loneranger I’m leaving turbo for a dsl charier $10 per month for 6 mo. then jumps to $15. This country location finally got high speed.
I believe all the above.
I also believe the Book of Mormon. That said I don’t believe any of the crap the LDS, RLDS, Restorations, or any other flakey off-shoots,and their doctrine they try to push. Their D&C and Inspired Version of the bible are Masonic creations, I could go on and on........
As a mater a fact they never were supposed to create a church around the Book of Mormon . And the name given the book does not make sense to me at all. But the contents are true, true, true, true.........
Looking at what God was doing in the 1800’s through (Charles Finney)and the second great awakening. What Joseph Smith did after the translation of the book goes against what god was doing.
But the fact that God wanted the genocide of Native Americans to stop + revel their House of Israel connection fits.......
This brings to case in point Indian Country Lands during the 1800’s and the connection to the tribes of Israel.
Everyone wants to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

In England, John Wesley, Methodism’s founder, was appalled by the atrocities Europeans committed against Native Americans. He poured out his moral outrage on European Christians, including the English colonists. In his sermon "A Caution Against Bigotry," Wesley doesn’t gloss over anything:
Even in cruelty and bloodshed, how little have the Christians come behind them! And not the Spaniards or the Portuguese alone, butchering thousands in South America; not the Dutch only in the East Indies, or the French in North America, following the Spaniards step by step: our own countrymen, too, have wantoned in blood, and exterminated whole nations; plainly proving thereby what spirit it is that dwells and works in the children of disobedience. (14)
Tragically few listened to Wesley.

And it goes on today... Denial of the possibility of who the 12 tribes are and the judgment of a book by its cover. Utter bigotry...
The highest form of arrogance is condemnation without investigation (with an open mind)
