Drivers Hp Deskjet 5900 Series Para Windows 7 In Mo on this page. As is made clear by the introduction to the Book of Abraham, the church maintains that, regardless of what the surviving facsimiles and scrolls indicate, the Book of Abraham is a sacred book of scripture and was written by the hand of Abraham. It is taught alongside the Old Testament in Sunday School, included in the curriculum for institute and taught in church universities for the Pearl of Great Price religion courses. Since it contains teachings about the pre mortal life, some of the mysteries of God, and the eternal nature of spirits, it is a vital part of LDS canon. Most active Latter day Saints are unaware of any controversy surrounding the book. Overview of Critics position. LDS critics point out that, since the original Papyri have been examined by both LDS and non LDS Egyptologists and both groups have indicated clearly that the scrolls are funerary texts that have nothing to do with Abraham or anything mentioned in the LDS scripture,4 the Book of Abraham cannot have been translated from the scrolls as Joseph Smith claims and is therefore a false book of scripture. Also, since the translations of the facsimiles were taken from copies of the original papyri and each contains such blatant translation errors as listing drawings of women as men and canopic jars as idols, critics reject the claim made by apologists that the Book of Abraham was translated from scrolls that were lost. Even more blatant, is that Joseph identified specific characters on the facsimiles and gave their translations that Egyptologists say are completely in error.

The Question Many LDS Members May Have. The Book of Mormon plates that were used by Joseph to translate the Book of Mormon were taken back by the Angel Moroni so accepting that scripture as divinely translated is mostly a matter of pure faith. However, since the Egyptian papyri that Joseph used to produce the Book of Abraham scripture still remained on the earth then it would be possible for others to examine these documents. Since the Egyptian hieroglyphics language wasnt understood when Joseph received the papyri, Egyptologists could not verify that Josephs translation of the Book of Abraham was correct. So the logical question that many Latter day Saints, living in more modern times, have had is why dont we let Egyptologists, who now understand Egyptian, look at the papyri and see if Joseph was correct in his translationThe answer usually given is that the papyri were destroyed in the Great Chicago Fire of 1. After Smiths death in 1.
