Thinking Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 In the video Bednar states... Quote Today we are standing in front of the Mamertine Prison in Rome, Italy. It is believed by many that this dungeon prison is the place where the ancient apostles Peter and Paul were held captive for publicly declaring their witnesses of the Lord Jesus Christ. Now more than 2,000 years later, we are privileged to stand here as modern-day apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and we delight in bearing our testimony of Him. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Peter and Paul were imprisoned after Christ's crucifixion (AD 33). 2019 - 33 = 1986 Apparently Bednar gets his inequality symbols mixed up. He should have said "Now almost 2,000 years later..." 1

Yessir, but the problem is much more far reaching than that, and it infests the notes accompanying our Scriptures and the commentaries which discuss them. Nearly all of them get the first year of the reign of King Zedekiah wrong, likewise the date of the birth of Jesus, and the date of Jesus' death. You, for example, follow erroneous sources in assigning the Crucifixion to AD 33. This is a problem endemic to modern Mormon LDS culture. The just published Study Book of Mormon put out by the Maxwell Institute likewise gets the date of Crucifixion wrong, but is simultaneously right and wrong on the date of Zedekiah's first year (saying correctly 597 BC on page 6note, and wrongly 600 BC on page 606).

Welp, they finally got us LoudMouth! They've been trying for nearly 200 years, since one of the seminal foundational events of this alleged "Church of Jesus Christ" was announced throughout the nearby precincts. We should have known it was too good to last! Oh, well! Will the last person to leave the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints please turn out the lights? Misspelled names on mission calls, a few drops of cream, faulty math ... if someone is simply looking to find fault with the Church of Jesus Christ and/or with its leaders, one excuse is as good as another.

Just following Joseph Smith's math. Quote The rise of the Church of Christ in these last days, being one thousand eight hundred and thirty years since the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the flesh, it being regularly organized and established agreeable to the laws of our country, by the will and commandments of God, in the fourth month, and on the sixth day of the month which is called April— D&C 20:1

Agreed, and then I want a list a list of everyone who helped create it or willingly listened to the whole thing. Then I want everyone on that list humanely euthanized. It is the compassionate thing to do. 1

I guess it only follows that ridiculous criticism deserves ridiculous apologetics... "Dog years" has always been a pet peeve of mine. We calculate years to the orbit of the earth around the sun, but in calculating the years of other animals like dogs and cats, we make ourselves the center of the universe and calculate their years in relation to human development. Typical egocentric humanism, where man is the measure! Edited January 22, 2019 by pogi 2

JAHS Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Maybe he meant 2000 years after the prisons were built? 1
Calm Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 27 minutes ago, JAHS said: Maybe he meant 2000 years after the prisons were built? Apparently constructed around 600 BC, so probably not...though accurate. More likely to say more than 2500 years later? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamertine_Prison I think he just got "more than" mixed up with "almost". 1

If you think substituting "LDS" for "Mormon" gets you off the hook, you're mistaken.
