My child, trust firmly in the Lord, and do not fear the judgment of men when conscience tells you that you are upright and innocent. For it is good and blessed to suffer such things, and they will not weigh heavily on the humble heart that trusts in God rather than itself. Many men say many things, and therefore little faith is to be put in them. Likewise, it is impossible to satisfy all men. Although Paul tried to please all in the Lord, and became all things to all men, yet he made little of their opinions. He labored abundantly for the edification and salvation of others, as much as lay in him and as much as he could, but he could not escape being sometimes judged and despised by others. Therefore, he committed all to God who knows all things.
Thomas a Kempis

Mormonism: Scientific Evidence

    Joseph Smith claims:

    • translated ‘Reformed Egyptian’ containing Egyptian, Chaldaic, Assyriac, and Arabic hieroglyphics
    • Martin Harris took translation to Professor Charles Anton, Columbia University, for validation
    • However, in Book of Mormon, it claims that it was written in the language of the Nephites, unknown by anyone. (How could it be validated?)
    • Professor Anton writes:
      • document contained no Egyptian letters
      • document contained scrambled and inverted Greek, Hebrew, and Roman letters
      • suspected Harris was being defrauded
    • Archeologist have never discovered any ‘Reformed Egyptian’ anywhere in the world.:
