Love you too Jeanie, and feel for ya truly.

I've actually never discussed mormonism in depth with a mormon... I lived with one briefly in college, the girl that got angry when John Lennon was killed... never saw a woman (or man) consume that much heavy duty liquor in my life,,, she was a very bad influence on me.... rarely discussed her religion... I only stayed there for 6 months or so as a result... we were hardly the best of friends when I moved. and not because of religion. I rarely gave religion a thought back then.

but anyway, Jeanie, I am not sure how well you know history, or even the bible, not very well, either, it seems... but according to the bible the hebrews that were lost at sea were quite few in number, who was lost at sea were mostly phonecians. They, not the hebrews, were the great seafarers of ancient times. Not to say that no idigineous other people could have lived on these continents either, the eskimoes and like obviously being decended from some sort of Russian/siberian mix, some people in russia have that dark complexion too, almost the spitting image of the eskimoes... and of course there are plenty of Russian jews, or were anyway before Stalin... but to say to an indian, whose complexion was almost identical to that of a mediterranean person, we wait for the great 'white' god, it must be something else, the british, the french.. because mediterranean people, Hebrews, were no whiter than most indians, Jesus included.. I can go that way with that forver..

and in South America, which is a separate continent from NA btw, what the spaniards found were many many indigigenous peoples who practiced human sacrificial rites almost identical to the phonecians of ancient times, not the hebrews. there is a movie, Apocalypto, which is actually quite historically correct on those accounts... a very bloody movie Mel Gibson i think he is famous for bloody movies... but it's a good one... you might want to pick it up.

In NA people have found indians who practiced rituals quite similar to old hebrew rituals. But not many, again they found mostly many occult, phonecian and even egyptian types of beliefs. Ancestor worship, worship fo the dead, worship of anuimals etc.

The mormon temple is covered with occult symbolism. The book of mormon, perhaps you don't see it as a mockery of scripture But I most surely do. and quite seriously, nothing personal truly, but the mormon kids who go around knocking on doors, doors of baptists, protestants of all sorts, catholics... on sunday mmornings even, they beg an education but never listen because they talk too much. a ton of baloney. they don't know the bible and yet they attempt to preach it and run away whenever they are asked about the book of mormon, they have no answers at all. just rehearsed answers verbatim. it's very sad Jeanie.

You would be wise to watch some of the videos at youtube. and btw where exactly is the book of Hezekiah?

If my town hall were covered with the symbolism that covers a mormon temple I would move far far away. The writing is on the walls so to speak... written all over it... I know one thing for sure about how the devil works... yeah he lies a bit, sometimes a lot,, but he does also tell many truths, about himself even, he gives plenty of clues to his identity...... he knows that God is real, he knows that Jesus is real, the Jesus of the Bible not the book of mormon, so he gives you enough truth, enough clues to make sure that he is not accused of dragging you off against your will, because God does not allow that. there is a reason you do not see the occult symbolism Jeanie, there is a reason you do not see the inconsistencies of mormonism with the Bible, there is a reason you accept mormonism and it's Jesus instead of the Jesus of the Bible. The devil has not hid anything from you, he has simply added to things a bit, given you new promises (which I doubt he will keep).. and the decision to not believe the bible and to believe the book of mormon and Joseph's Smith's stories is yours and yours alone because the truth has never been hid from you either.
