PacMan Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) In my notes, I have the following quotes but I cannot figure out where they came from. Anyone have any idea? I'm not sure if they are consecutive or from separate sources. If anyone is familiar with the quote(s), I'd greatly appreciate the citation.“The characters on the papyrus of Abraham are after the manner of the Egyptians who lived in Thebes…but as I say they did use a systematic order to relay their thoughts in writing; a system in which signs could convey specific sounds and words.” “God in these last days has now given us the story from this papyrus written by the hand of Abraham through priests who knew nothing of Abraham, yet the hidden record is revealed by revelation because of the kindness of the Lord and His tender mercies upon His children. The Lord is able to make His word known and preserve it according to His will and not by the will of man who cannot penetrate his ways or His means by which sacred things are preserved. The characters on the papyrus bear knowledge unlike anything man has come to know in our day. I do not believe that any man can receive these things except by revelation and the gift given only to a seer, one who is called of God by prophecy to a lofty sphere and a more exalted understanding than what is generally aspired to by the human mind.” “Therefore, I make a declaration that the papyrus is a representation of God's word given to Abraham and preserved for His own purpose to show forth that He is God of all the world and that all mankind must come unto Him or they must perish.” Edited September 2, 2020 by PacMan
Kenngo1969 Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 Have you tried doing a Google search with excerpts? That works for me sometimes when I'm looking for a source.

Very frustrating. 1
