Book Of The Dead And The Endowment

[Olavarria]

1) if your interested in what the BoD really says, buy a translation.

Now in the Lost BoA anti video Dr. Ritner and some other egyptologist tell the truth, the truth mormon apologist have alaways known, ie the papyri we curently have contains the BoD.

Now, I know that some people in this board have recieved the endowment, some are lds others are apostates.

without actually talking about the endowment and what is contained theirin, use clickable smilies to describe the parrallels between the lds endowment theology and Professor Ritner's description of what the BoD contains, ok? The description is near the end of the video.

If you believe in modern day prophecy, Egypt was founded by one of the decendants of Noah's son. They copied from Noah the rights and practices of the priesthood because they could not take upon them that power by themselves.

I recently saw two very inexpensive translations at Borders.

I found an online one, though it is rather outdated (1895). http://www.sacred-texts.com/egy/ebod/

I'll see if I can find a more recent one for free on the internet.

The part that some depart with Ritner on is they believe the papyrus was longer than Ritner thinks. So they feel a second text existed, and was mixed in with the BOD text. Michael Rhodes pointed out that one BOD text he knew of had a BOD text plus another text unrelated to the BOD on the same papyrus.
