New Version of the Bible

I thought Joseph Smith had already fixed everything ??
Heck, he even mentions Baneemy!! Who else has a bible that can do that ??? The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

One can only argue that the "founder" of any religion in human history, may have been honest about what they were selling, but simply mistaken. You could argue that they were deluded and wanted power and mistaken. But there still was never any human in our history that had a cosmic bat phone to an invisible sky hero. 
I wonder if anyone mentions this kind of thing as evidence against christianity/judaism. From what I've heard, we have the original Code of Hammurabi. Yet the sacred text of the One True God has been lost for so long that finding something close to the originals like the Dead Sea Scrolls is a newsworthy event.

You can also find older flood myths in "The Epic of Gilgamesh". "Let us make them in our image" is in the older polytheism of the Ugartic text of the Canaanite polytheism. OT characters like El and Yahweh before those titles and names were characters in the "divine family". Ideas of "Judgment of the dead" existed long before the bible in Egyptian polytheism. There is nothing as far as ideas that older polytheism didn't convey that is original to the bible. It simply became successful through mere human marketing.

There is zero evidence that it is in any way the word of any god.

One option is for my "friend" to provide a convincing reproduction of the signature. No one will question its authenticity...until they do. But that could be a while. In the meantime you should be able to make a handsome profit from a resale. (March 22, 2015 at 2:22 am)Minimalist Wrote: Not interested.

That would definitely be a special order. 
Old shit isn't special. More often the opposite. Meh.
