Have you ever heard that two world leaders during Jesus’ lifetime actually investigated Him and came away convinced He had divine power?One was the Roman Emperor Tiberius. Based on reports - including from his own official Pilate - he concluded that Jesus had worked genuine miracles. Pilate sent word of these events to Rome, and Tiberius, far from dismissing them, responded: "We had already heard several persons relate these facts; Pilate has officially informed us of the miracles of Jesus."Even more striking is the case of King Abgar of Osroene. Not only did he believe the reports, but he personally wrote to Jesus asking to be healed - and after the resurrection, one of the Apostles went and healed him. These letters were preserved in the official Edessan archives and later published by early historians.Eusebius records the correspondence and its miraculous result: http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/250101.htmAnd the royal Armenian historian Movses Khorenatsi confirms it in his own account: http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/0859.htmThat healing changed history. Armenia would go on to become the first Christian nation, and it all traces back to a miracle performed for its king by one of Christ's Apostles.Two governments investigated. Two rulers believed. Add yourself to their number!
The Book of Mormon was investigated
>>17937711gonna need a QRD my man
>>17937703Sorry man, but both letters of Ceasar and Tiberius were not recognized as authentic
>>17937790By any objective standard these records are authentic. Firstly, to set the scene, they were in the official archive in Edessa, Osroene's capital. These archives were one of the most secure environments for documents in the ancient world. This was somewhere where you have centralized, organized document storage and control for information critical to the functioning of the state.Khorenatsi talks about when these archives were first established at https://historians.armeniancathedral.org/book/t06Khor2_38.htm, writing that the Roman governors furnished Edessa and “in a grand manner and established their treasuries for the taxes collected from Armenia, Mesopotamia, and Assyria. They gathered there all the archives...They also transferred there the register of taxes and the temple archive”. So this archive was a big big deal. Like you might imagine for the repository of correspondence between heads of state!And that government was non-Christian, often viciously anti-Christian.In addition the records show a detailed knowledge of the time period. Take, for example, how the account states that Thaddeus cured “a man with gout, Abdu…much honoured in all the king's house”. The first-century Roman historian Tacitus verifies that there was in fact such a man. In his Annals, Book 6, chapter 31 (http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.02.0078%3Abook%3D6%3Achapter%3D31), while discussing an incident where “some Parthian nobles came to Rome, without the knowledge of their king” to speak with Tiberius about Armenian affairs he states that “The chief adviser of the Parthians in sending the secret embassy was Sinnaces, a man of distinguished family and corresponding wealth. Next in influence was Abdus, an eunuch, a class which, far from being despised among barbarians, actually possesses power”.So even when it comes to minor details like the names of incidental officials, they are accurate.
>>17937747OT is trueNT is trueLamanites are black peopleHuman iniquity prevented many revelations before their time (see: Law, Prophets, Gospel)Holy Ghost inspired Mormon to write a compendium of his people's history (Beta Israel &c)It was sealed to be published when persecutions were better able to be resisted (1830 USA)It was further sealed behind erroneous commandments of man, that it should have been from the ancient New World, when it is actually from Africa, to prove among many things that it was true, and that adding a single word of man to the word of God does ruin it.

>>17937861It's not spam
>>17937805You implied that you were talking about some sort of similar government investigation. Are you aware of an actual parallel with the Book of Mormon here?

>>17937977I am definitely not an atheist, I'm arguing for Jesus' power to work miracles here p:
Reminder to not feed the troll.
>>17938010Grumble grumble.
>>17937703So what were Jesus' last words?
>>17938291The most recent that I'm aware of are those he spoke in the Temple around 65ish AD about departing from it
>>17938305He told some people back in Africa Holy Gospel truths & recorded it in a very fancy codex (one of the early period when codices were special technology)
>>17937703>it's another episode of retard falls for one of the countless Christkike frauds
>>17938350See >>17937795. There's plenty of evidence for their authenticity.
>>17938351>it's another episode of retard falls for one of the countless Christkike frauds
Stop feeding the spam troll.
>>17938359
The Vatican literally has the Holy Prepuce of Christ in its possession and myriad miracles have been attributed to it. Case closed. Christ is King!
>>17937703I thought you were successfully medicated. wtf made you come back?
>>17938509>>17938359>>17938010Its hardly just me interested in this you know. The Orthodox Church accepts these as authentic.
>>17937703those letters are hoaxes
>>17938830But take a look at some of the evidence for their authenticity that I spoke about in >>17937795What are your thoughts on some of that? And that's just a small bit of the evidence, given the tight character limits
>>17938639right, and who cares what a particular society invested in perpetuating ancient superstitions accepts or not?
Christfaggotry is absolutely the worst mythology. How any decent person of European descent can become so enamored by this desert nonsense is a mystery to me.
>>17937703>Have you ever heard that two world leaders during Jesus’ lifetime actually investigated Him and came away convinced He had divine power?I heard it the last time you made this thread, but it's still fake.
>>17937873Kill yourself faggot.
