DNA & THE BOOK OF MORMON BY JIM ROBERTSONThe Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is built and dependent upon Joseph Smith being a prophet and on the Book of Mormon being a true historical record of a Jewish family who sailed from Israel to the Americas around 600 BC. This record, as Joseph Smith tells it, was about a man named Lehi, who had two sons named Nephi and Laman. Both sons became the leaders of two great tribes called the Nephites and the Lamanites. The Nephites were a white skinned tribe and the Lamanites were, because of their rebellious nature, cursed by God to have a dark skin. These Lamanites were later identified by Joseph Smith as the Indians of this continent. In 400 AD there was a great battle between the two tribes and the Lamanites completely destroyed the Nephites. Before he was killed, Mormon, a member of the Nephite tribe, wrote a history of the Americas on golden plates. His son Moroni, the last surviving Nephite, hid the golden plates on the hill Cumorah near Palmyra, New York before, he too, was killed. In 1823, Joseph Smith claimed that this Moroni appeared to him in the form of an angel and told him where the plates were hidden. He said these plates were written in what he called Reformed Egyptian and that he had been given the power to translate them into English. At that time, the Egyptian language was an unknown language. This translation came to be known as the Book of Mormon, which the Mormon people consider to be the word of God and the most correct book on earth. For the past 180 years the Mormons have believed the claim by Smith that the Lamanites are today, the Indians of this continent and were originally Jews or Hebrews from Israel. Recently, a Mormon anthropologist, Thomas Murphy, made a surprising announcement. He and other anthropologists and molecular biologists have done extensive DNA testing on over 5,000 Native Americans from over 140 different tribes from Alaska to the tip of South America. These DNA tests provided conclusive proof that all these Indians were from the Asian nations of Siberia and Mongolia and do not have any Hebrew genes or DNA in them. There now have been over 30 research groups who have concurred with these findings. So what does all this mean? It proves beyond any doubt that Joseph Smith fabricated this whole story and that the Book of Mormon is absolutely false. This makes him a false prophet. In addition, not one shred of evidence has ever been found that would substantiate any part of the Book of Mormon. We have just received a shipment of a brand new video called, "DNA vs. The Book of Mormon." It is an astounding 49-minute video that contains interviews and statements by these various scientists and the findings their DNA tests have concluded. These tapes can be ordered through our office. We are convinced that this informative video is going to blow the doors
of the Mormon church wide open. We are asking you to put this in your
prayers and also that as this information gets out around the world, that
we will see Mormons coming into the saving grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ
instead of following the teachings of a false prophet named Joseph Smith.
