Book of Abraham Symposium: Lecture 5: The Egyptian Book of Mormon - Paperback

by Travis Wayne Goodsell (Author)

On the 1st of April 2016 Travis Wayne Goodsell gave an entire symposium by himself. The subject was the Book of Abraham. Travis' discovery of how Joseph Smith made his translation explains the mystery of Joseph's work. Lecture 5 is about how facsimile #3 in the Book of Abraham, can be identified within the translation of the Book of Mormon. Facsimile #3 is a representation of the Egyptian Temple ritual, called the Judgment Scene. Travis goes over Book of Mormon scripture to show that there is actual Temple imagry, despite the text not directly talking about the Temple. The Egyptian Judgment Scene is Temple initiation ritual and its doctrines and practices are had within the Book of Mormon, thereby being another witness that the Book of Mormon is an Egyptian record and that the Book of Abraham along with the Book of Mormon are correct translations.
