LDS.ORG Essay fails to defend Facsimile No. 3

[_Shulem]

We see the sorry spectacle of a prophet and apostles following a scholar instead of showing what really is via revelation. It's a gigantic drop from the days of Joseph Smith when God was talking to everyone in both their sleep and while they were awake.

Elder Dodo made it a matter of public record that he doesn't know Egyptian and doesn't understand how the Book of Abraham got translated into the Word of God. He doesn't understand the vehicle of divine translation and makes no claims in offering any kind of explanation. Thus we see that an LDS cult apostle, prophet, and seer, knows nothing about translating the Book of Abraham.

The crazy thing is, all he has to do is ask God and have it revealed to him as a prophet, seer, and revelator. It's what Joseph did purportedly did all the living time... by admitting he is still in the dark is giving the game away. Since they have downplayed critical thinking to the Mormon masses, they miss the point here.

Elder dodo Holland is left to ask himself: How am I really a prophet, seer, and revelator? What do I do in life to fill those shoes?

Holland needs to ask himself what prophecies has he uttered that can be verified or tracked? And he needs to ask himself if he's really a SEER why can't he SEE how Joseph Smith translated? He more or less confessed that he's blind as to how the Lord reveals the spirit of Egyptian translation to a modern prophet. He's totally in the dark. That is not the hallmark of a prophet & seer.

The facial expressions on the man make me want to cringe. He's just gross and full hot air. He doesn't know jack about being a prophet or prophesying or being a seer and seeing.
