RFM takes a look at some often ignored details that point to who fingerprints are all over the authorship of “The Book of Mormon”

Over the last few weeks a discovery has been making waves in the Mormon World. Gold plates bound by rings with ancient Israelite writing on them. Sound familiar? And YouTube Channels like Ward Radio, David Alexander, and The Stick of Joseph have touted these as evidence for the Book of Mormon. But as soon as they started making noise you begin to hear whispers of “fake”. Tonight we look at the plates, their provenance, and what they mean for Mormonism and its Gold Plates story. John Lundwall and Rebecca Bibliotecha join us and we even get the thoughts of Dan McClellan as we sort out not only what to believe and what to doubt but rather even if these are real, what do they mean or maybe more importantly what they absolutely don’t convey.00:00 Intro – the Saudi Plates06:45 Mormon podcast response20:30 Dan McClellan’s biggest takeaway33:00 Sermons of the day41:50 Other gold/metal plates1:05:25 Scripture Central clip1:08:05 Even if it’s fake, it’s proof!

Recently Mormonism Live has examined the proposed evidences of the Book of Mormon presented by Book of Mormon Central in their series “A Marvelous Work: How Great the Evidence”. One facet of that has been to tackle their use of Jewish Rabbi Joe Charnes. Rabbi Joe was kind enough to reach out to us and ask to have a chance to correct some misconceptions both about how we addressed his segment as well as how he was utilized on Book of Mormon Central’s Video and joins us to correct the record and to speak to his view of the historicity of the Book of Mormon.
