Pants A'Fire

Most LDS critics are nothing more than lying 'snow job' artists. They grab at anything and everything they can to smear mud upon The Chruch of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This is a most un-Christian appoach to begin with and of itself ought to so expose these slanderous prevaricators for what they really and truly are. Such persons can dredge up out of the muck and mire so many fabricated falsifications born of the evil that affects and leads their minds, that to even attempt to address every such salacious imaginable lie would be a never ending task. Such lies proliferate from them so readily that while logically dispelling the few that do seem to hold any real water, a thousand more are so generated of them by that author of lies, who inspires men and women to contrive them. Thus it would be a fruitless venture to try to address them all. But perhaps, if one is of a true heart, to so expose them as having a lying nature by setting forth the truth of those matters, their lying pattern may be establish. And the fact that they are not to be trusted as being honest in nature, and have and do but built lies purposefully; and thus we may discredit their believabilty generally.
The nature of these fabrications range from those based upon half truth, twisted and falsely painted, to those which are out and out obvious lies, which only gain any credibility because they come in such numbers aided by the half truths. And so they too seem to stand as also being true leaning upon and stacked in with the half truths. To the end of exposing these 'liars' generally, a set of examples of such 'criticisms' so presented as 'true' will be given to show exactly how they are based in 'half truths' and are twisted and painted to slander the LDS Church, and are then used to couch other more obvious lies within in order to give them apparent veracity.

Half Truths & Lies
One Example: A Historical Anachronism [Time Warp] Disproving the Book of Mormon and 'Mormonism' exists?

~ Fabricated Prevarication ~ The Book of Mormon states that Nephi is 8 years out of Jerusalem, 592 BC, in Chapter 17 of First Nephi, at the first land of Bountiful building a ship and some years after leaving the Valley of Lemuel, while at the same time it states that Nephi is retriving the family of Ishmael from Jerusalem while going to and still living in the Valley of Lemuel some hundreds of miles distance away in First Nephi chapter 7:14. Timewise Nephi cannot be in two different locations doing two separate things in the same time frame at the same time, thus the Book of Mormon is false, Joseph Smith the Prophet 'translator' of the Book of Mormon is false and Mormonism is therefore false.

~ Fact 1 - Because ~ Half truth one: The Book of Mormon chronology has Lehi's party at the first land of Bountiful in the Eastern Hemisphere and Nephi building his ship to sail to Amereica in 592 BC.
Full truth one: George Reynolds, an early LDS Church Seventy and Book of Mormon scholar attempted to construct a time chronology for the events of the Book of Mormon. That Book of Mormon chronology was published and later under a later church compilation of the Book of Mormon under the direction of Apostle James E. Talmage, that chonology is fitted within the Book of Mormon as footnoted suggested 'possible' dates to the Book of Mormon itself. And they still appear in the latest version of the Book of Mormon today as part of the summary chapter headings, 'BUT' they never were a part of the original inspired Book of Mormon transaltion by Joseph Smith.

~ Fact 2 - And Because ~ Half truth two: While Nephi returns from Jerusalem to the Valley of Lemuel with the family of Ishmael he mentions that the prophet 'Jeremiah have they cast into prision'. Adjusting for Book of Mormon time and Bible time, this places the two events of Nephi building a ship in Book of Mormon time within the same time of Jeremiah's Bible time imprisonment in the 8/9^th year of Zedekiah. This is an anachronism.
Full truth two: Nephi in the Book of Mormon, 1 Nephi 7:14, does reference that even 'Jeremiah have they cast into prison'. Another early LDS authority and Book of Mormon scholar, Apostle Orson Pratt, cross referenced this statement of Nephi to Jeremiah 37:15 in his cross references of the Bible and the Book of Mormon which still exists in today's Book of Mormon. Most good Bible scholars sort out the chronologically the mixed up chapters of Jeremiah and place Jeremiah's imprisonment of the 37^th chapter of Jeremiah in the 8/9^th year of King Zedekiah's reign. And now his correlates with the year 592 BC of the Book of Mormon and causes a man created Book of Mormon anachonism to be in exsistance between Orson Pratt's cross reference and George Reynold's suggested chronology. That is, Nephi is retrieving the family of Ishmael at one location while building a ship at another location at the same time, about 592 BC. But this is only due to the deductions of men, George Reynold's suggested Book of Mormon time line, Orson Pratts suggested cross reference and Biblical scholar's dating of Jeremiah's imprisionment; none of which are a part of the original Joseph Smith translated text of the Book of Mormon.

~ Conclusion - Therefore ~ Half Truth Concluding Lie: Since Nephi cannot be in two places doing two different things as taught by the Book of Mormon, that is: in the first land of Bountiful building a ship and also at the same time halfway between Jerusalem and the Valley of Lemuel bring the family of Ishmael down to the Valley of Lemuel in the same 8^th year of the reign of King Zedekiah when Jeremiah has been imprisoned. This is an impossible anachornism which proves the Book of Mormon, Joseph Smith and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to be wrong and a fraud.
Full Conclusion Truth: The Book of Mormon DOES NOT state that Nephi was in two different places doing two different things at the same time. There is NO ANACHRONISM in the Book of Mormon's times and events. What has been 'created' is an anachronism of Book of Mormon scholarship, an anachronism of man and not of God. Either Elder George Reynolds' suggested time line needs to be adjusted, Orson Pratt's Biblical cross reference of 1 Nephi chapter 7 verse 14, or an understanding that the Bible may not include all events of history told accurately. Thus one of these ought to be adjusted to reconcile the matter. As for myself, the seeming anachronism is most easily dispelled by an adjustment of the first 30 years of Elder Reynolds' suggested chronology used as scholarly notes in the Book of Mormon. It would mean that Lehi's family spent some 8 years in the valley of Lemuel before retriving the family of Ishmael and then after departing to travel in the wilderness toward the first land of Bountiful. They likely spent another 8 years as reported in 1 Nephi 17:1-4 in that journey before arriving in that first land of Bountiful in about 584 BC and NOT 592 BC as Elder Reynolds had concluded in his suggested dating. Repeat there IS NOT an anachronism in the text of Book of Mormon as translated by Joseph Smith. It has only seemingly been created and placed there by the 'scholarly' deductions of men.
Graphic Solution: Considering Lehi's journey in the Old World covered in 1 Nephi 1-17, beginning at Jerusalem then to the Valley of Lemuel and then on to the first land of Bountiful via Nehem or Nahom, what is the timeline? In 1 Nephi 7:14 Nephi brings the family of Ishmael from Jerusalem to the Valley of Ishmael referencing the imprisonment of Jeremiah and by 1 Nephi 17 in the land of Bountiful, Nephi is building a ship. Nephi cannot built a ship and bring the family of Ishmeal from Jerusalem at the same time. So the 8 year journey cited in 1 Nephi 17:4 must be from the Valley of Lemuel and NOT from when Lehi first left Jerusalem. And Lehi's family's stay in the Valley of Lemuel must have also been for about another 8 years. Elder Reynolds counted the 8 years as from Lehi's departure from Jerusalem but should have noted Jeremiah's imprisonment and deduced that it was an eight year journey from the Valley and NOT Jerusalem yielding 584 BC and not 592 BC for his chronological date of when Nephi built his ship in Bountiful.

~ Bottom Line ~ This is but one example of a false criticism which intellectually initially seems to hold water due to the deductions of men, yet by the time the truth of it is sorted out and presented the blasphemous critics are only shouting out a hundred more fabricated lies of criticism thus effectually discounting that they had presented a falsehood in the first case. So what does one do to thwart such a 'snow job' by the critics? This is one of the very strategies of some politicians, it is not a matter of the real issues, but a matter of who can fling the mud the most and most often. Does one come out and deny all allegations? When such allegations are in part based in half truths, how can one deny all when 'half' is truth? Does one explain that what is being said is a misrepresentation of the facts? Doing this often results in the tedious job of untangling of the tangled web of deception while a further flood of false deception continues to avalanche in upon you. Or can one only point out the nature of the beast of deception and call upon God for an answer to what is true? This is the last and only safe harbor in a world burdenned with the lies of evil, which are all about all of us each day. No wonder that Moroni's appeal is to call upon God for the truth of these things, for man cannot trust in the arm of flesh, in his fellow man. He truly can rely only upon God and trust in Him. In God we must trust, not men.
